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
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
