SCOTT'S GUEST HOUSE

The morning sun spilled through the blinds. Scott stirred awake long before the alarm on his nightstand buzzed.

He pushed himself up slowly, swinging his legs over the edge of the bed. For a long moment he sat there, elbows resting on his knees, staring at the floor. He rubbed a hand over his face and let out a sigh.

There was no time to waste. Today was important. Today he'd be going to the company.

He got dressed carefully, choosing a dark suit. His tie was knotted neatly and his shoes polished.

After fastening his cufflinks, Scott reached for his phone. He scrolled briefly through his contacts until his finger landed on one name—Cara.

The line rang only once before she picked up.

“Boss,” Cara’s voice was brisk, alert, as though she had been waiting for the call.

“Come by,” Scott said. “We’re going to the office together today.”

“Yes, boss. On my way now.”

True to her word, it wasn’t long before Scott’s phone buzzed again with a message. I’m outside.

    DREAMLAND BAKERY Leah’s heart pounded so hard she could hear it in her ears, as though it was trying to leap out of her chest. By the time she pushed the shop door open, the little bell above it jingling loudly, she stumbled inside and immediately leaned back against the wall. Her chest rose and fell as though she had just run a marathon. She pressed a hand flat against her sternum and closed her eyes tightly. “Oh my God… what is wrong with me,” she whispered under her breath, trying to steady herself.“Leah?”Her eyes flew open. Aunt Kate was standing behind the counter, wiping down trays with a cloth. She raised an eyebrow, half concerned, half annoyed. “Well, look who finally decided to show up,” Aunt Kate teased lightly. “I thought you’d gotten lost between here and home.”Leah jumped at the sound of her voice, her entire body jerking like a startled cat. She clutched her handbag tighter to her chest and looked at her aunt with wide eyes. “Oh—oh, Aunt Kate. You scared me.”Au

    AUNT KATE'S HOUSE Aunt Kate was already dressed neatly, her hair tucked into a bun as she bustled about the living room with her handbag and keys. She was always the organized one, ready to face the day with her usual energy.But Leah? Leah was still in her room, taking her sweet time.“Leah!” Aunt Kate called out, her voice echoing down the hallway. “If you don’t hurry up, the customers will open the shop themselves! And you know how cranky people get when they don’t have their morning bread rolls and croissants!”From inside her room came Leah’s voice, sing-songy and playful. “I’m almost ready! Just five more minutes, Auntie!”Aunt Kate rolled her eyes dramatically, though a fond smile tugged at her lips. “Five more minutes? That’s what you said ten minutes ago. Do you want the customers to think we’re running a lazy bakery?”Leah finally emerged from her room, still fiddling with the sleeves of her blouse. She walked barefoot across the floor, her hair slightly messy but her eyes

    ABC TECHNOLOGIES The long table of the conference room gleamed under the lights, reflecting the rows of staff seated with notepads and laptops in front of them. Every eye in the room was fixed on Scott, who stood at the head of the table. His presence alone commanded attention.“Good morning, everyone,” Scott began, his voice steady, deep, and confident. “I know most of you already know me by name, but I want to take this moment to properly introduce myself to you as your new CEO — Scott Grayson.”A ripple of whispers ran through the room. Some faces lit up with admiration, others showed nervous curiosity. Many of the employees had only ever heard about Scott in passing, and now here he was, speaking directly to them — a man whose reputation preceded him.Scott’s gaze swept across the room. “I want you all to understand something very clearly. We are at the threshold of a new chapter. This company has accomplished much in the past, but the world around us is moving quickly. Technol

    Cara woke up before the sun had fully risen, her body moving almost mechanically as she prepared for the day. She slipped into her dark fitted jacket, tied her hair into a neat ponytail, and studied her reflection in the mirror. Scott had asked her to check on Lisa. On the surface, it seemed simple, but Cara knew Scott never wasted his words. If he wanted Lisa checked on, then there had to be more going on beneath the surface. And knowing Scott as she did, he must have sensed something before even voicing the command.By the time she left her apartment, the city was beginning to stir awake. Her first destination was Lisa’s workplace. Scott had said nothing about what to expect, only that she should go and see. —EVENTS BY L.RCara tightened her grip on the steering wheel as she parked in front of the glassy office building.She knew this was one place Lisa never toyed with. The woman was known to be diligent with her career, priding herself on her independence and commitment. Cara

    LISA'S HOUSE The heavy slam of the door rattled through the walls as Benjamin stormed into Lisa’s living room. His face was red with rage, his jaw tight, his chest rising and falling as though he had run a long distance. But it wasn’t exhaustion that shook him—it was fury boiling deep within him.Lisa, who had been curled up on the couch with a glass of water, jumped at the sound of the door. She turned, startled, and her eyes immediately caught the storm in Benjamin’s eyes. Her heart skipped a beat.“Benjamin?” she asked nervously, setting her glass down quickly. “What—what’s the matter with you?”He stopped only a few feet away from her, his glare fixed on her as if his eyes alone could burn her to ashes. He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he paced the room, running a hand over his face, muttering under his breath words she couldn’t catch. Every movement radiated raw anger.Finally, he turned sharply, his oice booming. “You knew!”Lisa blinked rapidly, confused and uneasy. “K

    BENJAMIN'S HOUSEThe clang of metal echoed through the private gym, bouncing off the walls. Benjamin’s arms flexed as he slammed the dumbbells back into their rack, his chest heaving, his forehead glistening with sweat. His jaw was tight, his expression one of rage.The men he had sent out had returned only minutes earlier, reporting the same pathetic excuse he had heard a dozen times already.“We couldn’t find him, boss.”Benjamin had nearly thrown a weight plate at them out of pure frustration. Instead, he chose to drown his fury in raw exercise, trying to burn the anger out of his system with sheer force. His muscles screamed, but the fire in his chest only grew.“That bastard,” he muttered between clenched teeth, his voice hoarse with anger. “Always one step ahead. Always slipping through my fingers.”He gripped the barbell, veins bulging in his arms as he lifted it above his chest and pushed up. His breaths came out sharp, more like growls than exhales. He was so focused on his
