Life isn't fair
Chapter 124Sofia’s mouth opened, then closed. Words failed her. Anger, disbelief, and something else something foreign warred inside her chest. She wanted to scream at him, to tell him he was delusional, to run… but she couldn’t move.Nikolai took a step closer, his gaze never leaving hers. The room seemed smaller somehow, the noise of the city outside muted, leaving only the tension between them.“You don’t get to dismiss me like that, Sofie,” he said quietly, but every word carried weight. “You’ve spent so long holding onto someone who never deserved you. I’ve been here, always, watching you struggle, watching you let Andrea’s shadow steal your life. And now you refuse me because of some imaginary line I’ve crossed? I am here. I am real. I am offering you a chance.”Sofia shook her head violently, tears pricking her eyes despite herself. “You don’t understand. I can’t… I can’t just jump from one person to another. You’re—” Her voice faltered. “…You’re family.”Nikolai’s expression
I should go
Chapter 125 The sunlight streamed weakly through the hotel curtains, painting the room in soft golden hues. Sofia’s eyes fluttered open, and for a moment, she didn’t remember where she was—or what had happened the night before. Her head throbbed with the dull ache of alcohol lingering in her system and the emotional intensity of last night.Her gaze wandered across the room and landed on Nikolai, who was awake, sitting on the edge of the chair across the room. His posture was casual, but his piercing eyes followed her every move, a faint smirk playing on his lips.“Morning,” he said, his voice low, teasing, but somehow tinged with satisfaction.Sofia froze, heat rushing to her cheeks. The memories of the morning—the closeness, the way he had kissed her—flooded back, and she felt her stomach twist in a mixture of embarrassment and something she refused to name.“I—I should go,” she stammered, hastily swinging her legs out of bed.Nikolai chuckled softly. “Go? Already? But earlier thi
We rebuild
Morning light spilled across the tall glass windows of the Georgiu Group headquarters, reflecting against the polished tiles like sharp blades of gold. The air outside looked calm, almost peaceful—but inside Sofia’s heart, a raging storm brewed.Her heels clicked sharply as she stepped into the lobby. Every employee she passed looked away quickly, whispering among themselves. Some eyes held pity. Others held calculation. But most held one thing—Fear.Not for themselves, but for the future of the company.Sofia lifted her chin, hiding the tremor in her chest. Today… they want to take everything from me. Mother disgraced… the board against me… and Andrea’s power overshadowing us.She tightened her grip on her laptop bag.I will not fall. Not today.By the time Sofia reached the top floor, the hallway outside the boardroom was already bustling. Secretaries moved around with documents, analysts whispered numbers under their breaths, and board members walked in wearing stiff suits and sti
One more thing
The first light of Monday morning spilled over the city skyline, illuminating the sleek glass façade of Whitewater Corporation. The building stood tall, polished, and intimidating, a concrete reflection of the empire that had been built over decades. Inside, the office buzzed with the usual hum of Monday activity—phones ringing, computers whirring, interns rushing down corridors, and employees navigating their way through the first meeting schedules of the week. Andrea Konstanio walked through the lobby with a calm, purposeful stride. It had been weeks since the chaos surrounding the Georgiu scandal, the shareholder battle, and the family crises, and he had finally been able to return to his position at Whitewater. He had never been one to enjoy sitting idle, and the thought of returning to the rhythm of work, the flow of projects, and the feeling of control over his responsibilities gave him a strange sense of peace. Maria, who had guided him through much of his internship, had call
Stepping in
While Andrea was settling back into Whitewater as the new team leader, Gracie was preparing for a very different kind of first day. The Astor Company, her family’s enterprise, had been through months of turmoil—legal battles, internal restructuring, and uncertainty over leadership. Now, after careful planning and consultation with her family, she was ready to step in as the new president. The boardroom of the Astor Company was buzzing with anticipation. Executives and department heads whispered quietly among themselves as Gracie walked in, dressed in a tailored cream suit that exuded professionalism and confidence. Her posture was calm, composed, and entirely authoritative. Maria, who had advised Andrea at Whitewater, had also been involved with the Astor Company’s transition. She nodded subtly as Gracie entered, signaling that the room was hers. Gracie moved to the head of the table and gave a small, confident smile. “Good morning, everyone,” she began, her voice steady and clear.
Honestly
The lunchroom was buzzing with the usual midday energy laughter, clattering trays, and the faint hum of casual office chatter. For most of the interns, it was a chance to relax, recharge, and gossip a little away from the eyes of managers and executives.Laura sat at one of the long tables with a group of fellow interns. She kept her tray mostly untouched, but her ears were perked up, picking up on the conversation that had grown louder and more animated as Andrea’s name came up.“Honestly,” one intern said, twirling a strand of hair around her finger, “I didn’t realize just how good Andrea is as a leader. He’s… brilliant. Calm, strategic, decisive… and yet he listens to everyone. I mean, I’ve never worked with someone so competent and still so approachable.”Another intern leaned in, whispering conspiratorially, “And to think he’s rich. I mean, come on if I had known Andrea was a Whitewater heir back when he was interning, I would’ve done everything to be his friend. He’s like… the f
Chapter 131
The office was still quiet when Laura arrived that morning, the sunlight barely creeping through the large windows of Whitewater. While most interns trickled in slowly, Laura had come early, heels clicking softly on the marble floor, carrying a bucket, cleaning supplies, and a sense of purpose that went far beyond tidying up.She paused at Andrea’s office door, taking a deep breath. Today, she had decided, she would do whatever it took to remind him of her—the spark they once shared, the closeness he couldn’t forget.Stepping inside, she began dusting the shelves, wiping the desk, and carefully arranging pens and files. Every movement was deliberate, a performance of efficiency with a hint of calculated allure. She hummed softly under her breath, letting her voice carry lightly through the empty office, imagining Andrea walking in and noticing her.Just as she was adjusting the papers on his desk, the door opened, and Andrea stepped in. His crisp shirt and tailored pants spoke of auth
Understood
Chapter 132After Laura returned to her seat, dusting reluctantly as Andrea watched, he finally cleared his throat. The morning light had strengthened, casting long shadows across the office, but Andrea’s expression remained focused, calm, and authoritative—a reminder that work came first.“Alright, everyone,” he said, finally addressing the rest of the team. Laura’s presence lingered at the edge of his mind, but he pushed the distraction aside. “We have a lot to accomplish this week. I’m assigning tasks based on priorities, skill sets, and deadlines. Listen carefully and take notes.”Gracie, who had been observing quietly, nodded. She had come along to support Andrea’s leadership team, but also to monitor workflow and ensure the project milestones stayed on track. She noticed Laura shifting subtly in her seat, glancing occasionally at Andrea—but Andrea’s eyes remained on the board of tasks he had pulled up on his laptop.Andrea clicked a few keys, bringing up a project tracker on the
What a surprise
Chapter 133The late afternoon sun spilled through the large windows of Whitewater, casting golden light across the office. Most of the interns were finishing their tasks, preparing to leave for the day. Andrea remained at his desk, focused on a few urgent reports, unaware that a surprise was heading his way.Gracie had just wrapped up at her family company. The day had been long, but she felt a sudden urge to do something nice for Andrea and his team. She stopped by a boutique bakery on her way, picking up a variety of sandwiches, pastries, and drinks—enough to feed the whole office. Her bag was heavy, but her excitement made it feel light.When she arrived at Whitewater, she was greeted warmly by the employees.“Miss Gracie!” one of the assistants called out, smiling broadly. “What a surprise!”Gracie smiled warmly, returning their greetings. “I thought I’d bring a little something for everyone,” she said, placing the food on a central table. “Andrea’s been working so hard… and I kn

Gracie and Andrea announced their engagement.The week leading to the engagement was full of excitement—at least for Gracie and Andrea.Together, they chose a simple and elegant engagement ceremony at the Astor family garden. Andrea wanted something intimate, surrounded only by family, close friends, and key staff from both companies. Gracie wanted something warm, not extravagant. Something that felt like them.The news spread quickly through the office and across the business world:Andrea Konstanio and Gracie Astor were officially getting engaged.Most people congratulated them.But not everyone was happy.Not Laura.When the announcement was made, Laura sat frozen at her desk. The interns cheered and gossiped around her, but their voices sounded muffled, like she was underwater.“They’re perfect together.”“She’s so lucky to marry Andrea.”“Their wedding is going to be legendary!”Every word stabbed Laura in the chest.Her fingers curled into tight fists. Her mind spiraled into dar
