“I understand you, Meredith, and I know how hurt you will be feeling right now,” Clara said gently, her voice full of concern as she rubbed her hands slowly on Meredith’s back in a comforting way. Her eyes reflected the pain she knew her friend was going through, and for a moment, she just stayed quiet, giving Meredith the space to breathe and hold her emotions together.. Then Clara continued speaking, her words soft but steady, carrying the weight of hard truths that needed to be said.

“Trust is commonly broken due to lies, secrecy, or manipulative behavior meant to hide or support the addiction,” she said, her tone sincere and measured. “It’s not just the act of the addiction itself that causes pain, but all the ways people try to cover it up. Friends and family members often feel abandoned or pushed aside, and that pain only grows when they realize they were being lied to, sometimes for months or even years. People start to feel neglected, and that sense of hurt can turn into deep

  • You Have Just 12 Hours

    That’s why, no matter what I do in secret, I will never be caught. No matter how many girls I’ve kidnapped, no matter how many lives I’ve destroyed behind closed doors… I will never be exposed. They worship me. They defend me. And people like you? People who try to dig into my secrets? You always fail.”There was silence on the other end for a moment. Then the caller spoke again.“You may see yourself as unstoppable. You may think you can do anything without getting caught or punished. But trust me,” he said, his words low and firm, “this… this is going to be the end of it all.”Moving the phone slightly away from his mouth, Ryker stretched his arm out and turned subtly toward his bodyguard. His lips barely moved, and his voice was no louder than a breath.“Why is it showing four different locations?” he asked, his tone filled with quiet frustration.The bodyguard, still focused on the tracking device in his hands, didn’t look up as he responded. “I’m still trying to narrow it down,”

  • The Man They Worship

    The caller laughed loudly, his voice booming through the speaker and echoing sharply in Ryker’s ear.“Even if you search for him in this entire city,” the man sneered, his tone laced with cold confidence, “you are not going to find him. Do you think you’re dealing with an amateur? I’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to teach you a lesson for the past two years, and now, I finally have the chance. Do you really think I would be careless enough to expose myself so easily? You will never see your son again unless you do exactly what I asked.”For a moment, there was silence. Then, unexpectedly, Ryker burst into laughter, pretending as if the disappearance of BlackHood means nothing to him.Still laughing, Ryker tilted his head slightly and glanced sideways at his bodyguard. The man was seated at a small table nearby, fully focused on a sleek device he had connected to Ryker’s phone. His fingers moved quickly, tapping at the screen, eyes sharp as he worked to trace the call and find

  • Greed And Threats

    The attendant approached them with a faint smile and said, “Excuse me, ma’am. Please tighten your seatbelts. The plane will be taking off soon.”Allesandra’s mother nodded kindly. “Of course. Thank you for the reminder.”She leaned forward and pulled the seatbelt around her waist, putting it into place. Then, she turned to her daughter, gently lifting the seatbelt strap beside Allesandra.“Let me help you with yours,” she said softly.Allesandra, still a bit sleepy, lifted her arms slightly. Her mother carefully brought the belt across her lap and fastened it securely.“There,” her mother said with a small smile, patting her hand. “All set now.”Just then, the captain’s voice came through the overhead speakers, calm and clear.“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board. This is your captain speaking. We’re preparing for departure from Washington City, and our journey to Royals City will begin shortly. The estimated flight time is approximately ten hours. We ask that you remain seated wit

  • Suspicion Needs No Presence

    “Someone will definitely save them, or they’ll find their way out, just like you did,” Allesandra’s mother said softly as she pulled her daughter closer. Gently, she laid Allesandra’s head on her shoulder and wrapped an arm around her. “You should rest on my shoulders for a while.”“Thanks, Mom,” Allesandra replied, her voice tired but calm. A faint smile touched the corner of her lips. She reached for her mother’s hand, holding it tightly, as her eyes slowly began to close. “I really feel pity for them, though... Ryker will definitely tighten the security around those warehouses because of what we did.”Her mother didn't hesitate before responding. “That doesn't stop them from escaping, sweetheart. Just like you found a way out, they will too. You don’t have to carry the burden of worrying about everyone. Someone out there will come to their rescue, or maybe they’ll plan their own escape, carry it out, and succeed just like you and the others did.”Allesandra slowly nodded, her breat

  • Thrown Like Garbage

    The rain poured with relentless intensity, turning the streets of Langley Heights into glistening rivers of silver. Allesandra trudged through the rainfall , her once-elegant beige coat clinging to her body like a second skin, weighed down by the water that drenched her to the "bone". Her boots, caked in mud, splashed through shallow puddles as her trembling hands clutched the strap of the nylon she was holding. Her long dark hair, soaked and tangled, plastered against her pale face as she approached the familiar path that led to her family’s estate.She paused at the front of her house, tears mingled with raindrops on her cheeks as memories rushed in like a cruel flood. The only daughter of Johnson Emipre, one of the principal shareholders of Ryker’s Oil Company was now standing in front of her family's empire like an animal. She remember how she was treated like an animal back at the hostel.Her swollen eyes gazed upward at the dark sky, thunder rolling like a war drum in the distan

  • A Plan To Relocate

    Hearing this, Ryker burst into laughter, shaking his head in disbelief."Two hundred billion dollars? You must be joking, kid."His voice echoed in the large room, filled with a mixture of mockery and irritation. He stood by the tall window, looking out into the city, the phone still pressed to his ear. The voice on the other end remained calm, unmoved by Ryker’s reaction.“I’ve been watching you for the past two years,” the caller continued, his tone steady and laced with confidence. Ryker's fingers gripped the phone tighter, the amusement quickly fading from his face.“And if I’m not mistaken,” the caller added, “your net worth is over twenty trillion dollars and taking out just two hundred billion dollars to save your son shouldn't be a big deal”“You must be joking,” Ryker responded.” You aren't getting anything".“I’m not,” the caller replied firmly. “And don’t waste your time trying to trace this call. You’ll get nothing. You have exactly one week to send me the two hundred bill
