Tyler sat at the edge of the bed, hands clenched tightly around his phone. The room felt heavier than usual, each tick of the clock echoing like a countdown he couldn't stop. He wasn't just anxious. No. This was a deep, gnawing kind of feeling, one that clutched at his chest and made it hard to swallow.Why does it feel like she's drifting away? Her tone, the way she speaks to him now, how she wouldn't spare him a glance when she was around earlier.What if she's pissed at him and decides to start liking his brother?The thoughts made his stomach knot in a way that crawls under his skin.His jaw ticked. ‘ I can't lose you, Tessy.’ he said in his mind, staring deeper into space. No. Never. He can't lose the one person who had always been there for him, the one person who gets him like no other. His best friend. His other half. Not to his brother, that would be the last person he

‘ That.. can't be.’Tessa dragged her feet back inside, staring so lost with her head ringing. Her chest was pounding, her face going pale while her brows wrinkled in denial.‘ Is Tyler…saying I'm married to an impotent?...is that…why he won't divorce me?’She blinked her eyes. Not like she ever wanted to have sex with him, but…Her skin felt chills that made her shiver, her shoulders were slumped with feelings she couldn't name. “ Hey, Tessa.” A voice called her, jolting her out. She looked up to see an employee staring at her.“ Are you alright? You look pale.” She nodded. “ I'm fine.”“ Okay, here.” She extended some files to her. “ Take it to the boss for approval.”Her heart skipped so hard. Hesitatingly, she took it with a nod.Her chest hammering hard against her rib. ‘ Why am I feeling like this? Am I sad? There's no reason to be. Why does it feel li

After Corrine left the office, she had been smiling to herself. Even though her interactions with Grayson were minimal, as he was more interested in the solution she offered, she felt elated to have gained his attention and even earned a thumbs-up from him. But it's been minutes since she came out of the office and Tessa who had just gone to submit some files but she's still not out. ‘ Maybe she's waiting for him to review and sign the documents.’ she thought to herself. But employees don't usually wait for that. They'll leave and come back to get the documents after it has been signed. She tilted her head up to look at the office. The door was locked. There was no way to know what was going on inside. ‘ Or is she also trying to seduce the boss?’ her jaw clenched as she thought. Her fist curled at the edge of the desk. Not long after, Tessa dashed out of the office, looking all red and flustered. She was shaking as she rushed out of the office. Corrine seems to be the

With the intention of trailing after Tessa and finding out what she was up to, Corrine headed towards the door when one of her bosses called her. “ Hey, Corrine.” She turned with an arched brow. “ Here, get me ten copies for each of these files.” A task was handed over to her. “ And do it now.” Her face twisted in displeasure as she took the files from her. ‘ Why now? Why when a lifetime opportunity was about to get snatched from me.’ she screamed internally, marching towards the photocopy machine. Miles pulled away from his desk just then, feeling thirsty for some coffee. He stood up and headed towards the snack room where he overheard almost half of their conversations. He and Tessa stared at each other with widened eyes. “ You're the boss’s wife!” He exclaimed with parted mouth. Tessa’s face pulled together, shivers racing down her veins; she could feel Tyler standing behind her now, but just then, she did the only thing she could think of. She grabbed Miles’s

A pause. A stretchy silence fell between them, eyes on each other. Grayson felt a knot tighten in his chest.“ My mum?” He scoffed, “ That's not possible.”“ What makes you think it's not?”“ No, it's what makes you think it's possible, in fact the question is why?”He tilted his head with arching brows. “ Why would my mum have something to do with her pretending not to know me?” “ Grayson..”“ Mind you, it's my belief cause I can't seem to understand how it's possible for her to truly not remember me. So I believe she's pretending.”“ You're this confused because there's no clarity.” Desmond stood up, walked to the other side of the desk, to stand in front of him. “ And trust me, confronting her alone won't get you that.”Grayson furrowed his brow.“ Because she might choose not to tell you the truth.” He added. “ But I believe.. your parents might be involved.”Grayson's chest
