Upstairs At The White House Novels & Stories

" Liliana, who did not say a word, turned as white as a ghost. She thought back to when she picked up the report yesterday, and the way I looked at her. So calm, so still, like a pond with no ripples. I did not even think to ask for her help. She had that nagging feeling that maybe, just maybe, I did not love her anymore. However, facing that truth was more than she could bear. … Despite the chaos, the surgery was a success. When I opened my eyes, it was like the world had flipped upside down. Everyone's attitude toward me changed dramatically. It was rare for them all to be together, but there they were, filling my hospital room with noise and life, a stark contrast to the quiet isolation b

Part 2 The Barack family's mansion stood grandly on a sprawling two-hectare estate, surrounded by gardens designed by a renowned architect. A towering gate engraved with the family crest was guarded by two security officers, while hidden cameras monitored every corner. Inside, marble hallways echoed with the steps of servants diligently ensuring every inch of the house remained impeccable. The Barack family was not just wealthy—they were a symbol of power and prestige in the city. In the expansive dining room, morning light streamed through velvet drapes, illuminating a long dining table set with exquisite porcelain dinnerware. At one end of the table, Mrs. Barbra Barack poured tea while spe

Iris asks. “That man… Edward Zimmer… who was there tonight.” It makes me sick just saying his name. “Have you met him before?” “No,” Iris says, followed by Violet, who says, “No.” “Has he ever been to the house before?” “Not while we’ve been there,” Iris says. I exhale a long, low breath of relief. At least, so far, they’ve been safe. “Who is he?” Violet asks. “He’s running for president,” Iris says. “The teacher has a picture of him on her desk.”

"Theo, you really do know when to roll over. Fine. If you want to embarrass yourself in public, I'll give you the chance." "But…" My tone shifted. "The livestream has to be kept from Lionel. He's the patient. If he knows that many people are watching, he might get agitated. If anything happens to him because of that, I won't be responsible." Gracie didn't think much of it and agreed readily. The next morning, I arrived at the place Gracie had chosen for the consultation, the VIP ward on the top floor of Riverside General Hospital. Two familiar people stood at the door.

Alexander The apartment was small. I noticed it the moment Vivian opened the door and stepped aside — grudgingly, with her arms crossed and her jaw set. Small living room. Secondhand couch. A stack of envelopes on the kitchen counter that had the particular look of unopened bills. The window on the far wall had a gap at the seal where the night air was getting in. Elara White had been living like this while wearing a platinum engagement ring my son bought on borrowed money.

The Unbreakable Accord The great house had settled into its night-time rhythm, a deep, contented sigh after the day's joyful chaos. In the West Wing study, the only light came from William's desk lamp, pooling on the polished wood. He wasn't working. He was looking at a photograph on his computer screen.

They walked towards the foyer that would accommodate at least a hundred people, at the foot of a vast curving staircase that probably went to heaven. She looked around in awe as everything in this house was white. How do they even maintain this house? She can’t even keep anything white clean. How many servants do they have? She recalled one of her conditions, “I will give you only three hundred dollars for my share of expenses.” Geez, Anita, a great way to embarrass yourself. She flinched as she bumped into the stranger, who stopped walking. She peeked from his shoulder to see him facing two women and two men sitting in white plush furniture in the middle of the hall. A young girl with an ea

Elena’s POV The corner suite on the eleventh floor of the Hay-Adams Hotel looked out across Lafayette Square toward the North Portico of the White House. Rain streaked the tall glass panes in long, silver ribbons, casting a muted, blue-grey light across the heavy mahogany furnishings and cream damask armchairs. At eight-fifty-five in the morning, the heart of Washington was locked in a quiet, breathless paralysis—a city waiting for a bell it didn't know was about to ring.

White House Five moved her head gently to the melodious music being played by the live band, with a glass of champagne in her grasp. She stood near a pillar, at the edge of the large party room, near the entrance, observing the whole scene, from the elites that honoured the party invitation, to the top notch catering services, then to the excellent decorations.

We reached the top. As the doors opened, the polished hallway ahead glowed with natural light spilling from the massive floor-to-ceiling windows. The presidential floor always had the best view. Upper New York laid out in the distance like a toy city. Two interns seated beside the conference room jumped to their feet when they saw me. “Sir.” I walked past them without a glance.
