Ambush on the Highway
After they had gotten the location on Carl, Mia didn’t waste any time. She rushed out of the house towards her car, entered and gripped the wheel tightly, taking in deep breaths before she drove off. Her eyes flickered between the dark road ahead and the glowing screen of the tracker on her dash. Carl’s signal hadn’t moved. He was still in the same industrial zone near the docks. That gave her time.She pressed the gas a little harder. Jack had left the building too, and was supposed to pick up a few of Laura’s men and meet her two exits away. They’d agreed to meet there and move in together. This was the closest they had come to catching Carl.The wind roared past her window, and her phone buzzed, but she ignored it. Jack could wait. She was almost there.But that’s when it happened. Out of nowhere, two black SUVs pulled up fast on either side of her car, boxing her in.Mia’s heart jumped and then her eyes narrowe in frustration. “What the hell—?”One of the vehicles surged ahead, cu
Yuna’s Call
Yuna stood in the middle of her room, holding her phone in both hands like it weighed a hundred pounds. Her mind was in conflict of decisions. She knew the obvious right thing to do, but after all these years together, she still felt like she needed an explanation, or maybe it was simply because she was love bound. The screen was lit with Carl’s number—still saved under “My Love.”Her heart pounded. She’d stared at the contact for hours, pacing from one corner of the room to another, hoping the guilt would pass. But it didn’t.She knew what Carl had done. And yet, part of her still wanted to believe there was a reason. Something more than just power and pride. Or at least she hoped there was more. The silence in the room was heavy, and after staring at the screen for what look like eternity, she finally ressed the call button.It rang once, then twice and then he answered.“Yuna?”His voice was calm and soft, almost as if he was considering the chaos he’d left behind.“Carl,” she whi
The Father’s Code
The city of Jordan looked washed out in the grey light of early morning. Jack had parked his car in front of a quiet brick building near the harbor, far from Natalie’s usual hangouts. It wasn’t flashy, but it was secure. Laura sat beside him, tightening her coat.“You think he’ll help?” she asked.Jack exhaled. “He better. We’re out of time.”They stepped out of the car and walked through the alley to the back door. Jack knocked three times, paused, then knocked once more. A slot opened, no words. Just a pair of tired eyes.“It’s us,” Jack said. “We’re here for Michael.”The slot shut, and a second later, the door creaked open. Inside, Michael Young sat alone at a long table. The room was dimly lit. He looked older than Jack remembered, like the war had caught up to him overnight. His suit was crisp, but his face was worn. A half drunk glass of scotch sat in front of him.“Jack. Laura.” His voice was calm but guarded. “Didn’t expect to see you, but I guess the timing isn’t wrong eithe
Two Lies, One Truth
The lounge was quieter now, the music softer, with a gentle ambience. Natalie’s eyes flickered with amusement and calculation following Liam’s words. She remained quiet for a while and then started. “You know,” she said, “I didn’t expect this.”“Expect what?” Liam asked. “You, here. Smiling at me.” Natalie answered. “You always had that death glare look whenever you saw me, but this… this feels different. It feels good to know I’ve finally caught your eye.”Liam offered a slight smile back and said. “Yeah, it does feel good. I have to admit, I was a little worried that you might not want anything to do with me, but I’m glad we could find a common ground.”She tilted her head to the side. “Why now, really? Spare me the charm for a minute.”Liam leaned back, relaxing into the chair. He heaved a heavy sigh and looked at her directly. “Because I’m tired of pretending. Tired of playing the hero.”Natalie watched him closely. “You’re not very good at being fake.”“That’s the thing,” he sa
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. “
