Dinner with the Devil
Natalie escorted Liam to a private lounge in her building. The lounge was dimly lit with cold marble floors stretching under soft fluorescent lights. Liam paused and scanned the place. He was walking on eggshells and needed to make sure that this was not an ambush. When he confirmed there was no danger, he stepped through the tall doors, faking a calm and relaxed look.Natalie walked toward a corner table, the glass of wine still in her hand. She took a seat and crossed her legs crossed like a queen waiting for a subject, but still she couldn’t mask the excitement in her eyes that she was finally having a moment with Liam. Not just a moment, an official date.“Well, we’re finally here,” she said, voice smooth but sharp.Liam gave her a calm smile. “I say it’s been long overdue.” He teased and glanced around again, “Your building has too many security checks.” Natalie tilted her head and smirked. “That’s the point.”Liam took the seat across from her without asking and soon the chef w
A Dangerous Proposal
Liam stood at the window, his jaw clenched. He hated that it still seemed like Mia was ahead all the time. Mia sat across from him, her hands folded tightly on her lap. She’d been sitting in that position for hours, trying to figure out how she could outsmart Natalie. The tension in the room was heavy, but it wasn’t because of anger. They were constantly devising new strategies, one that Natalie would not see coming. “She won’t stop,” Mia finally said. Her voice was calm, but her tone was sharp. “Not until she destroys everything we’ve tried to build here, Liam.”Liam turned to her, and his face twisted as if a thought had just occurred to him. “Then we hit first. The press conference, the evidence. We—”“No,” Mia cut in. “That’s not enough. She’ll twist it. Make us look like liars. Like we’re scared.”Liam narrowed his eyes in confusion. “So what do you suggest?”Mia leaned forward and her lips stretched in a sinister smile “We get inside her head.”Liam blinked, arching his brow. “
Family First
The room felt colder than it should’ve. Mia stood there, frozen. Her hands clenched by her sides, her chest rising and falling too quickly.She didn’t speak. She couldn’t process her thoughts. The fury in her eyes said it all. Liam reached for her. He could see that something was stirring in her mind by the look on her face, and he could tell that it wasn’t good, but Mia didn’t wait. She brushed past him, grabbed her coat and keys and headed towards the door. “Mia…stop,” Liam said firmly, blocking the door.“I can’t just stand here, Liam!” she snapped. “They have my grandfather!”“And if you storm out now, without a plan, they’ll have you too,” he replied in a steady voice. Mia stopped and began to shake. She began to sniff, holding back the tears, but then she couldn’t hold back the tears anymore. Her breath caught in her throat and she took a deep breath. She hated that he was right.“Just let me—” she began again, her voice cracking.“No,” Liam said gently, stepping closer. “Not
Rise of the Empire
It was time for Mia’s discharge from the hospital. The doctor had checked her vitals and her body was fully recovered. Liam walked in again, adjusting his sleeve. “You ready?” he asked gently.Mia looked at him for a while, her eyes steady. “More than ever.” She replied with a smile.“This is what I have in mind.” Liam said, sitting beside her. He had planned everything out while he was waiting outside. He couldn’t allow Natalie to spin their wheels about anymore. He had planned every word of the press conference, and today, they would expose the truth. From Natalie’s illegal deals, to the real truth about the Tribunal. For once, they had proof, all thanks to Chloe.After he discussed everything with Mia, they stepped outside heading towards their car. However, before they could get there, a media crew quickly gathered in front of them. At first Liam wanted to brush past them, but then Mia held his arm and dragged him back. “Hold on, Liam.” She said, turning towards him, “Why don’t w
Heart and Steel
That morning, Chloe sat alone in her office, the soft blue glow from her laptop lighting up her face and reflecting her pensive look. Her hands were on the keyboard, but she couldn’t type. On the screen was a folder labeled “Natalie Evidence – FINAL.”The files inside were damning, from bank transfers, Tribunal leaks, surveillance screenshots. Everything that could bring Natalie crashing down. She had gotten the whole scoop on her operation, but now the difficult part lied ahead. She knew if she sent it out, if she exposed Natalie publicly… it would ruin her own career. The media company that had offered her a top executive role would pull the deal immediately. She knew, because they were betting on Natalie’s political rise.Just then, her phone buzzed with a text message from Liam, “Any word on the press leak?”She stared at the screen, unsure of what to say. Her fingers shook slightly as she typed,“Still digging. I’ll let you know soon.”She couldn’t make the decision—not yet. Not
Natalie’s Endgame
Carl sat on the cold steel chair in the estate basement, arms tied behind it. His hair was ruffled and his face pale, and now the adrenaline had completely faded. All that was left now was silence, broken only by the soft hum of the old ceiling fan above. He kept his face down the whole time, afraid to look up out of embarrassment.Yuna stood across from him with her arms crossed, her high heels clicking once as she shifted her weight. Her eyes weren’t soft, they were sharp, fiery, and disappointed.“Why?” she asked, quietly at first.But Carl didn’t look up.Yuna stepped closer, barely containing her anger. “Why did you try to kill grandpa?”Carl shifted, still silent.“I’m asking you a question, Carl. You owe me an explanation at least.”But there was still no reply from him.Yuna could no longer hold back her rage, she slammed her hand on the metal table, her voice rising. “We gave you everything! This family let you in. I defended you even when the others didn’t believe in you. Wh
