GALE'S HOUSE Laura stormed out of the spa with her heels clicking furiously against the tiles. The attendants called after her, confused, but she didn’t even glance back. Camilla rushed behind her, clutching her bag as she tried to keep up.“Laura, wait! What about the session? We—”Laura spun around suddenly, her eyes blazing. “Forget the session! Forget the spa! I can’t sit there pretending to relax while the entire world is talking about this. I need to go home. I need to talk to Gale. I need to—” Her words cut off in a sharp breath, her chest heaving. “I’ll talk to you later, Camilla. Just—later.”Camilla hesitated, clearly worried, but she nodded. “Alright. Call me when you’ve calmed down.”But Laura wasn’t listening anymore. She had already turned on her heel, striding toward her car.The drive home felt endless. Her fingers tightened around the steering wheel, her nails digging into her palms. Every time she blinked, she saw Scott’s face in her mind declaring to the world that

GALE'S HOUSE Laura sat in her living room, legs crossed and hands fidgeting restlessly. She had already been pacing around the house for hours before finally forcing herself to sit down. Her jaw was tight, her eyes narrowed, and every once in a while she would mutter under her breath, as though replaying the same grievances again and again in her head.It had been a while since the disaster— since Scott, of all people, had walked away with the company that she and Gale had fought to control, since the humiliation of watching everything crumble right in front of her. And the anger had not lessened in the slightest.When she couldn’t bear the silence anymore, she had reached for her phone and called Camilla. If she stayed alone another minute, she felt she would explode.“Camilla, come over,” Laura had said. “I can’t stay here staring at these walls. Let’s go out, let’s go shopping, let’s do something. Anything. I need to get out before I lose my mind.”Camilla had agreed without hesi

Scott stepped out of the car with Cara just behind him. The moment his shoes touched the ground, the air shifted. In less than a heartbeat, the quiet outside the company’s gates erupted into noise, movement, and flashing lights.The press, who had been waiting restlessly for his arrival, surged forward as though on cue. Cameras clicked and flashed so violently it was almost blinding, microphones were shoved toward his face from every direction, and voices rose in a chaotic chorus of questions all shouted at once.“Sir, sir! Are you really the new CEO of Harrington Dynamics?”“What’s your relationship with the Harringtons?”“Why did Gale Harrington give up his position so suddenly?”“Is it true the Harringtons were forced out?”“Were you the original owner of Harrington Dynamics before Gale took over?”“Is it true the company was stolen from you years ago?”“How exactly did you get the company back? Was it a legal settlement, or did you use other means?”“People are saying Gale signed

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.Scott sl

AUNT KATE'S HOUSE The aroma of onions sizzling in oil drifted through the kitchen, mingling with the faint scent of garlic and herbs Aunt Kate had set out on the counter. She stood at the stove, her apron tied firmly around her waist. Beside her stood Leah, perched on a small stool to reach the counter properly, her hair tied up in a messy bun and her hands covered in flour.Leah leaned over the cutting board with a knife that was perhaps just a little too big for her hands. “Aunt Kate, are you sure I should be doing this?” she asked, her tone cautious but her eyes sparkling with eagerness. Aunt Kate glanced over her shoulder, raising one brow. “Leah, if you want to learn, you have to practice. Cooking isn’t about watching—it’s about doing.” She gave the onions in the pan a quick stir before turning back to her niece. “Just keep your fingers curled in so you don’t chop them off. I’d rather not explain missing fingers to Scott whenever he visits next.”Leah giggled, though her knife

Gale stood frozen in place, his chest still heaving, his fists tightening around the back of the chair until the veins in his arms bulged.His jaw clenched and unclenched as though he was battling within himself—battling whether to admit the humiliating truth.Damian leaned back in his seat, his elbows still resting on his knees, his eyes fixed on Gale. He hadn’t said a word since Laura’s outburst.Finally, Gale exhaled sharply through his nose and let go of the chair. He straightened his back and turned toward them as his eyes blazed with a mixture of shame and anger.Gale began to pace the room again and his hands were restless at his sides. He finally stopped near the center of the room and ran a hand down his face before speaking.“It was at the abandoned warehouse,” he began, his tone clipped. “I called him there just as planned. I had the men waiting, ready to make sure Scott Grayson understood exactly who he was dealing with. It should have been simple. I was supposed to have
