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
Trap in the Garden
The Stevens estate shimmered under golden lanterns and strings of white lights. The garden had been transformed into a quiet paradise with flower petals that were scattered across the stone paths, soft music floating through the air, and gentle laughter humming in the background. Mia hadn’t expected any of it.She had only come home because Lord David insisted. “Just dinner,” he had told her. “No press. No drama. Just family.”So when she stepped into the garden and saw everyone gathered, balloons floating over trimmed hedges, and a table stacked with gifts, her mouth dropped slightly.Lord David stood at the center, with his arms wide open and a satisfied smile. “Surprise, Mia.”She blinked. “What… is this?”He walked over and gave her a gentle hug. “A celebration for you. For the baby. Don’t let the media define this moment. This is still something to be proud of.”Mia smiled, holding back her emotion. “I thought you’d be upset with how messy everything has gotten.”“Mess comes and
Betrayals Unveiled
The Tribunal headquarters was unusually silent when Liam walked in. There were no greetings, no pleasantries. Just cold eyes following him as he moved down the long hallway. He adjusted his coat, his jaw tight, aware that every step he took was being watched, measured, judged.Inside the private chamber, the heavy door shut behind him. Lord Ainsley sat at the center of the table, flanked by three other high ranking Tribunal officials. Their faces were unreadable but Liam could tell that this was something serious. He stood tall and scanned his eyes around. “You asked for me.”Lord Ainsley didn’t waste time. He heaved a tired sigh and said. “You’re trending again.”Liam exhaled through his nose. “It wasn’t planned.”“No,” another official said. “But your wife’s outburst has made headlines across the continent. Screaming at reporters while pregnant? That’s not a good look for someone tied to city development, governance, and—”“War,” Lord Ainsley cut in calmly.Liam’s gaze flicked to h
The Baby Reveal
Mia woke up to the sound of her phone buzzing nonstop, and saw texts, missed calls and endless notifications. At first, she thought it was about the new urban project she and Liam had earlier announced. But when she opened the first message from Chloe, her heart dropped.“Mia, call me now. The news is out.”Her fingers trembled as she tapped the link attached and the headline opened.Mia stared at the screen, unable to breathe for a moment. There were pictures of her at her last outing with Liam, showing the arc on her stomach. Her pregnancy had been revealed and she felt like her world was about to sink. This was her first and yet somehow it still felt like the world had snatched that from her.Liam walked in just then, shirtless, toweling his hair after a shower. “You okay?”She turned the phone to him, and her voice was sharp. “Did you tell anyone?”He frowned as he read. “No.” Liam’s eyes widened as he lowered himself towards her, “I haven’t told a soul. I thought we agreed to kee
The Alliance
Liam adjusted the cuffs of his shirt as he stepped out of the car and and glanced over at Mia, who was wearing a simple but elegant black dress. She smiled softly as she tucked her hair behind her ear. They’d agreed on a private date, just to have a romantic date. “You sure this isn’t too public?” she asked, her tone light but cautious.Liam opened the door to the restaurant and gave her his hand. “Just dinner. We’ve earned one quiet night.”Mia smiled and took his hand. The place was upscale and dimly lit, tucked in the heart of the city. There were waiters in crisp white shirts moving gracefully between tables. Liam had requested a private corner booth near the back, away from curious eyes.They ordered quickly. He asked for wine for himself and Mia ordered for sparkling water. The moment felt almost normal, and for the first time in weeks, Liam let himself breathe.Mia leaned in. “Feels strange, doesn’t it? Being out in the open like this again.”“It does,” he admitted. “But I lik
