AT THE BARMira hurried down the hallway, her phone still clutched tightly in her hand. The news she had just seen online was spreading quickly, and she knew her sister would react the moment she heard it.She pushed open the door to the parlor.Lisa was sitting elegantly on the velvet couch, scrolling through her tablet with a bored expression, while their mother, Mrs. Stone sat across from her with a cup of tea, reading through some documents. “Mira, why are you running like that?” Mrs. Stone asked calmly without looking up.“You need to see this,” Mira said, walking quickly toward them.Lisa raised an eyebrow lazily. “What’s so urgent?”Mira placed the phone in front of them and turned the screen around and on it was a trending headline.“NEXAGEN HEIR IVANA SET TO MARRY JAMIE.”The article included pictures of Jamie and Ivana smiling together during a press conference earlier that morning.

THE STRANGE MAN Lisa rolled her eyes but couldn’t hide the smile forming on her lips.Adrian leaned slightly closer so she could hear him over the music. “You don’t look like someone who usually comes to places like this.”Lisa raised her head. “And what do I look like?”“Someone who breaks hearts in quieter places.”Lisa laughed softly. “You’re very confident.”“That is me! The occupational hazzard.”“Oh?” she said. “And what exactly do you do?”Adrian hesitated for a moment, then he smiled. “Business.”Lisa narrowed her eyes slightly. “That’s vague.”He smiled mysteriously. “So is your name.”Lisa blinked. “What?”Adrian leaned closer, his voice low. “You never told me your name.”Lisa stared at him for a second before smirking. “Lisa.”“Well, Lisa,” he said slowly, “I think tonight is going to be very interesting.”Just then, Mira suddenly appear

IS THIS A TRAP?Mira unlocked the car and glanced at her.“You’re really okay?”Lisa hesitated for a moment, then she smiled. “Of course.”But as they drove away into the night, Lisa’s thoughts remained fixed on one disturbing question.Why was her mother secretly meeting Jamie?____MANUEL'S VILLA Manuel had just stepped out of the bathroom and was halfway through dressing. His shirt hung loosely over one shoulder while he adjusted the cuff of his trousers in no hurry.Suddenly, a knock sounded on the door and Manuel glanced toward it.“Yes?”“It’s me,” Laura’s voice came from the other side.A smile tugged at his lips. “Come in.”The door opened gently, and Laura stepped inside. She was already dressed for the day, her hair neatly tied back, a folder and envelope in her hand.She closed the door behind her and began walking toward him. “Good morning,

INVADING NEXAGEN Manuel’s expression remained, he kept staring at a distant. “He probably is.”Laura frowned. “And you still want to go?”Manuel reached for the invitation again and turned it slowly between his fingers.“Yes.”Laura looked at him like he had just lost his mind. “Boss.”He smiled faintly. “If Tommy is planning something…” His eyes darkened slightly.“…then I’d like to see it firsthand.”Laura shook her head slowly. “You’re unbelievable, boss.”Manuel stood up from his chair and walked toward the large window behind his desk, looking down at the whole place. “Tommy has always been arrogant.”Laura stepped beside him. “That arrogance makes him dangerous and we have to be at alert...”Manuel glanced sideways at her. “And predictable.”Laura wasn’t convinced. “I still don’t like this.”Manuel turned slightly toward her, his expression calm. “Which is exactly why you’ll be with me.”Laura raised her eyebrow. “You think that makes it safer?”Manuel’s lips curved faintly as

PLAN AGAINST PLANImmediately, they began opening drawers and scanning files. Laura moved quickly between cabinets, reading documents, contracts, reports, but they found nothing.She checked digital records and lots more, but she couldn't find a thing. Nothing reasonable and it frustrated her more than anything.Martins scanned data on one of the computers. “No suspicious transfers,” he muttered.Laura frowned slightly. “That doesn’t make sense.”Tommy wasn’t stupid. If he had something planned for the wedding, it had to be hidden somewhere.They moved to another department, then another, but every file they opened looked perfectly clean.Laura leaned against a desk for a moment, thinking.“This place is spotless,” Martins said quietly.“Exactly,” Laura replied.He looked at her. “You think they cleaned it?”Laura nodded slowly. “Or moved it.”They continued searching, but it

FOUND IN THE DEN“Stand behind me…” Laura whispered to Martins and the other two, her voice was low but firm.They were all alert. They had just found the hidden documents, and now they heard footsteps outside the door. The sound was slow, like someone was checking the area.Laura raised her hand gently to signal her team to stay quiet.Suddenly, a voice rang out from outside.“Check inside. I heard something.”Laura’s eyes widened, they were about to be caught and they needed to act faster than usual.She moved quickly, making sure her moves her timely. Laura pointed to the back door behind the shelves. It was not the main exit, it was hidden and narrow and she had known about it because she has been there before.Martins nodded and one by one, they began to move.The main door handle suddenly shook. Someone was trying to open it.Laura quickly pushed the back door open a little for them to pass an

AT THE BOUTIQUE The woman stood there politely, hands folded in front of her. “Good evening, Miss Laura,” she said gently. “I came to ask if you would like your dinner served now.”Laura blinked as the excitement that had rushed through her faded just as quickly as it came.“Oh…” she said softly and she shook her head. “No, I’m not hungry.”The maid nodded respectfully. “Very well, miss.”Laura smiled at her. “Thank you.”The maid bowed her head slightly and walked away.Laura stood there for a few seconds, staring down the hallway, before she slowly closed the door.She returned to her bed and sat down again.Even though it wasn’t Manuel at the door, the feeling in her heart didn’t leave.She lay down gently and pulled the blanket over herself.*****THE STONE'S APARTMENT Lisa stood in front of the mirror in her room, adjusting the strap of her top. Her reflection

THE MAN FROM THE CLUBLisa and Mira both turned at the same time, as a young woman stood at the entrance of their private section.Two attendants stood behind her, looking nervous.Lisa frowned slightly. “Excuse me?”The woman stepped forward slowly, her eyes fixed on the dress Lisa was wearing.“I said, I want that dress.”Mira immediately stepped in front of Lisa slightly. “Well, she’s wearing it.”The woman didn’t react, instead, she turned to one of the attendants..“Tell them.”The attendant hesitated, then spoke carefully. “Miss… that dress was actually reserved.”Lisa’s brows pulled together. “Reserved?”“Yes, miss,” the attendant continued nervously. “It was already paid for.”Mira scoffed. “Then why is it here?”The attendant swallowed, looking nervous which showed that she was lying. “It was meant to be prepared for fitting later today.”Lisa slowly turned her gaz

ETHAN, WHO'S SHE?Mira watched the two of them, clearly amused. “Wow,” she muttered under her breath, but she quickly held her hand over her mouth.Just then, a voice broke through. “Ethan, baby.”Lisa’s smile faded immediately she heard that and she turned.A woman walked toward them, with a bold smile on her face. She stopped beside their table, her eyes moving between them.Then she looked at Ethan. “Is this the friend you told me about?” she asked.Ethan stood up calmly as he stepped closer to her, then, without hesitation, he kissed her.He pulled back slightly and nodded.“Yes.”Lisa froze the moment Ethan leaned in and kissed the woman and everything inside her went still.Just seconds ago, she had been smiling and she thought she felt safe with him, but now it was all gone.The butterflies in her belly was gone as her fingers tightened slowly around the glass she was holding.Her chest felt tight and heavy watching the two love birds display in front of her.Mira, sitting besi

TOMMY'S PLANS Lisa's mind was replaying everything over and over again. Jamie. Ivana and then Ethan.Her chest tightened again as another knock came.“Lisa, open the door.”Lisa shut her eyes. “I don’t want to talk,” she said quietly.Outside, Mrs. Stone heard her clearly. She didn’t push. She only rested her hand lightly against the door.“Alright,” she said softly. “I understand.”There was a short pause, then she spoke on again. “If you need anything… I’m here.”Lisa didn’t respond, she slowly lay back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling, her chest felt heavy.Downstairs, Mrs. Stone walked back slowly.Mira looked up immediately she saw her approaching.“She doesn’t want to talk,” Mrs. Stone said.Mira sighed quietly. “I figured.”Mrs. Stone sat down again. “She just needs time.”Mira nodded, but the worry in her eyes didn’t fade.___Later that evening, Mrs. Stone stood in the kitchen, watching as Lisa's favourite meal was being prepared and placed on the tray by their maid.Sh
