A Sudden Resignation
The morning came too soon, meeting Sarah in bed, unlike usual, due to late night rest. Yesterday was lonely for her, alone on her own estate. Sarah stirred awake at the faint sound of knocking at her front door. For a moment, she thought she had imagined it, her body still heavy with sleep. But the knocking came again, gentle and persistent, like a rhythm that refused to be ignored.She sat up, rubbing her eyes, her heart drumming faster than it should. Pulling her robe tightly around her, she padded to the door and hesitated. She knew who it would be even without her looking.Her fingers hovered over the lock. Slowly, she turned the handle and pulled the door open.Just as she expected, Malik stood quietly by the door, dressed simply, almost humbly. In his hand, he held a single flower, a pale lily, its delicate petals trembling slightly in the morning breeze. His eyes met hers, calm but searching, carrying a depth of emotion she wasn’t ready to face.“Sarah,” he said softly, extend
Buying Silence
Michelle sat with confidence in his luxury office that screams nothing but power, the soft hum of the air conditioner filled the office. Everything about the room screamed order and control.He leaned back slightly, tapping the edge of the paper with his pen. His busy schedule was interrupted with a sudden knock. “Who is there?” He asked.A familiar voice responded, just as expected and Michelle gave permission to enter. Janet stepped inside, her high heels clicking on the marble floor. She walked with confidence and poise, her head held high exuding an air of self-assurance.Michelle glanced up from his papers with a calm and unreliable expression. Then, slowly, a sly curve tugged at the corner of his lips.“How did it go?” He asked.Janet closed the door behind her and moved to the chair opposite him. She sat gracefully, crossing one leg over the other, her skirt falling perfectly in place. Her eyes gleamed as she leaned back, enjoying the moment of reporting victory.“It went exac
Framed
The phone felt heavier in Malik’s hand the longer he stared at the screen. The edited video played again, turning the truth into a global lie. His eyes, filled with disbelief, blazed as he saw his reflection in the glass. His hands trembled, not from fear but from a fury that threatened to break through his calm state.Across the room, Sarah’s glare was sharp, her tears glinting under the soft light. Her voice cracked as she spoke, but the anger in it stung more than the tears ever could.“How could you do this to me, Malik? How could you embarrass me like this?”Malik lifted his gaze from the phone, meeting her eyes with desperation.“It’s not what it looks like because I didn’t steal anything. That woman set me up,” he said firmly, though his tone softened at the edges. Before Sarah could respond, Janet let out a scornful laugh, striding closer with folded arms.“Oh, please. Don’t insult our intelligence.” Her smirk widened cruelly. “Everyone saw the video. You think we’re dummies?
The setup
Malik stepped out of Skyverse that evening into the cool night air, the sharp chill from the air bliss was a clear change from the stormy scene inside the restaurant. With his hands loosely in his pockets, he walked while Sarah’s words echoed again and again in his mind.“When you have the money, then you can take me out.”He exhaled slowly, shaking his head. For all the patience he carried and all the quiet strength he had shown, Sarah’s words cut deeper than Michelle’s arrogance ever could.He slipped his hand into his pocket, pulled out his phone and quickly dialed a number. When the call connected, his voice was calm and quiet. “Prepare the documents. I want them ready before morning.”The voice on the other end gave a quick acknowledgement before the call ended. Malik lowered the phone and slid it back into his pocket. Just as he turned the corner, lost in thought, he collided gently with a woman walking briskly in the opposite direction.“Oh, I’m sorry,” Malik said quickly, ste
The Silver Card
The dining room was frozen in disbelief. Sarah’s lips parted, her breath caught somewhere between her chest and throat, while Michelle’s smug expression cracked into one of raw confusion. The way the manager bowed to Malik—calling him Mr. Hampton — had shattered every assumption she had about her husband.Michelle was the first to recover, though his face twitched with restrained further. “This… this is some kind of joke,” he spat, his voice shaking but sharp. “You’re bowing to him?” He pointed at Malik like he was pointing at an impostor caught sneaking into royalty’s table. “Do you even know who this man is? He’s nothing. Nothing!”The manager straightened, confused, glancing at Malik as though waiting for a signal. Malik, calm as ever, lifted a hand subtly, trying to communicate something unspoken. But the manager’s brows only knitted together, unsure of what Malik meant.Malik sighed inwardly. If subtlety failed, then he had to take control. He stepped forward, his voice measured
The Standoff
The room felt smaller when Malik entered. Though simply dressed, his presence had a quiet intensity that unsettled Michelle. Sarah, caught between the two men, felt her chest tighten as if the air itself had thickened.Malik paid no attention to Michelle’s sneering tone. His eyes, steady and unreadable, turned only to Sarah.“I came to eat,” he said politely, his voice calm yet tinged with an emotion she couldn’t quite place. “But it’s a good thing I found you here. I was pained that you wouldn’t join me, but now…… Now I’m glad I found you.” His lips curved faintly, almost tenderly. Sarah felt warmth creep up her cheeks with a blush. She hated that it betrayed her in front of Michelle. Quickly, she straightened her back, trying to appear composed. She wasn’t sure how to respond, his sincerity catching her completely off guard. Why is he saying this here, in front of him? And in the thousands of high classes watching.Michelle, noticing the flicker of red on her face, chuckled mocking
