Chapter 50: A Sister's Fury
"Hi big sis," Nina said, her smile stretching from her eyes to the corners of her mouth, oblivious to the fire that was about to erupt. She turned, still holding Carlos by the arm. "Meet my boyfriend, Carlos Arturo."The room fell silent.Carlos and Tiana locked eyes.No greeting. No handshake. No smile. Just a long, piercing silence thick with history, betrayal, and burning questions. The silence said everything that needed to be said. Tiana's mouth slowly parted, then clenched. Carlos straightened, meeting her eyes without flinching. Arturo, seated beside Tiana, glanced between them, his brows folding in confusion."What is going on here?" Arturo asked, looking from his son to his wife. "Carlos, who's she and what are you doing here?"Nina turned to Carlos, her smile now faded. She glanced at her sister, then back at the man she had fallen for over the last month, disbelief beginning to cloud her expression."You haven’t answered my question, Nina," Tiana said, her voice sharp an
Chapter 49: Tangled Flames
Tiana was seated in the far corner of a luxurious bar, beside her 'wonderful' husband — Arturo. Wonderful, if only words could sigh. The atmosphere in the bar buzzed with low murmurs and dim lighting, a soft piano playing in the background. Yet, despite the elegant ambiance, Tiana's face remained devoid of expression. Her wine glass sat untouched before her, the rim merely kissed by her lip once or twice.This was Arturo's idea. He had pleaded with her earlier in the day, insisting they needed time away from the suffocating tension of their home. "Let's have dinner, Tiana," he had said, "Somewhere quiet, somewhere new. Just us. Let's talk, like a real couple."And now here they were, two supposed lovers sitting like strangers.People in the bar noticed them. A few glances darted. Some whispers began to surface from a nearby table."Is that not the same lady from Black Blossom?""Are you sure she's married to that man?""I heard they tied the knot secretly. No fanfare. Strange thing
Chapter 48: Unexpected Enemy
The morning was dull, wrapped in a heavy silence that mirrored the storm brewing within.Jalen’s table was scattered with documents — files, printed screenshots, statements, and a USB drive labelled "Andrew Brooks Case."It was two weeks before the court hearing, and every piece of evidence mattered.He turned back to the room and dropped a thick file on the desk with a heavy thud that echoed in the quiet space.Barrister Greg Mends, his long-time legal counsel and friend, stood nearby, arms crossed and worry lining his forehead. His suit jacket hung over the arm of a nearby chair, sleeves rolled slightly, revealing a tired but committed man.Greg had been watching Jalen's transformation with growing concern, seeing his friend disappear into an obsession that bordered on dangerous."Jalen," he said, his voice calm but pressing, "can I ask you something without offending you?"Jalen didn't look up from the papers he was shuffling. "You already did. So go ahead."Greg hesitated, choosin
Chapter 47: The Buyer for Black Blossom
Tiana was seated in the living room when her phone buzzed on the glass stool beside her. She glanced at the screen.The name that flashed there made her heart skip.Barr. Anderson Gomez.For a few seconds, she hesitated. She wasn't sure she was ready to hear whatever this call had to offer. The past weeks had been a blur of difficult decisions and sleepless nights.Every conversation with her lawyer seemed to bring another layer of complexity to her already tangled life. But she couldn't ignore it either. She reached for the phone and pressed the green button."Hello, Barrister Gomez."His voice came on, warm but laced with urgency. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Arturo. I hope I'm not disturbing anything serious.""Not at all," she replied quietly, straightening up.She could hear the slight tremor in her own voice and hoped he didn't notice."I wanted to inform you that there's been an offer for the company," he said without wasting time. "Actually, a rather substantial one."There was a sil
Chapter 46: Encounter with Mr. Renner
Tiana hadn’t stepped into her office for two straight days, and truthfully, she had no intention of going there any time soon. Everything about that space reminded her of chaos, of everything falling apart.The moment she placed Black Blossom for sale, the weight she’d been carrying didn’t drop; it only shifted, digging deeper into her spirit.She had finally moved in with Arturo – her now legally married husband.She was now living under the same roof with him as his wife, but the reality was far from what she had imagined. She once thought marrying him would offer her a new type of security, one built on influence and connections, but she now saw it clearly: she had walked barefooted into a field full of thorns.Every corner of Arturo’s home reminded her she didn’t belong here. The silence was thick. The air felt filtered and stale.The help treated her like someone hired rather than married into the house.Arturo himself was often absent, his presence felt only in the scent of his
Chapter 45: The Fall of a Flower
Tiana sat in her corner office, her eyes fixed on the computer screen in front of her, but nothing was registering in her mind.The harsh fluorescent light reflected off the monitor, creating a glare that made her squint. All the numbers were red, sharp declines in stock value, dramatic drops in customer engagement, contracts terminated without warning.The name "Black Blossom" had become pure poison overnight, a brand that sponsors and partners fled from as if it carried a deadly plague.The media hadn't spared her even a moment's mercy. Headlines flooded every news channel, blog, and social media platform with relentless brutality."Black blossom's co-founder's brother in sexual assault scandal.""Tiana brooks' brand faces total collapse.""Investors flee as black blossom's future grows dim.""From rising star to falling grace: the black blossom tragedy."She had tried everything within her power to contain the spreading damage. Carefully crafted press releases written by expensive
