There's a Crack

Daniel paused briefly on the other end."Should I be worried?”“Yes,” Noah answered without hesitation.Then he hung up.Melissa stared at him.“You know,” she said carefully, “that tone usually belongs to villains before entire bloodlines disappear.”Noah slid his phone back into his pocket.“She should’ve stayed out of it.”Melissa opened her mouth to respond but suddenly froze.“Oh no.”Noah glanced at her.“What now?”Melissa suddenly looked genuinely uncomfortable."...Richard."The name clicked instantly.The man whose head she had nearly smashed open earlier.Melissa cursed under her breath and immediately turned. “I’ll be back.”Then she hurried down the corridor before Noah could even respond.Five minutes later, Melissa stood at the reception desk looking impatient.“The patient’s name is Richard,” she said quickly. “Head injury. Probably whining and exaggerating somewhere.”The nurse blinked awkwardly before checking the system.“Room 308.”Melissa nodded immediately and r

Last Breath

The silence inside the hospital room turned heavy instantly.Mr. Cole looked up at his son calmly despite the tension rising around them.“I said,” he repeated slowly, "thirty per cent of the company shares will be transferred to Miranda.”Adrian laughed.But there was nothing amusing about it.The sound came out sharp.“You’re giving her thirty per cent of the company?” he asked again, staring at his father like he had completely lost his mind. “Without discussing it with me first?”Mr. Cole’s tired eyes hardened faintly.“I built this company before you were born,” he replied. “I do not require your permission to decide what happens to the shares.”Adrian’s jaw clenched.“Dad…”“And Miranda deserves it.”That made Adrian snap completely.“She deserves it?” he repeated harshly. “For what exactly? Pretending to be some innocent victim while ruining my life?”Miranda froze.Sabrina frowned immediately.“Adrian…”“Stay the fuck out of my business!” he barked at Sabrina.His attention re

Grief has Teeth

“You killed him!” he repeated. Adrian’s voice cracked violently through the room as he slammed Miranda against the wall.The force shocked everyone.Miranda gasped softly, her entire body trembling from both fear and grief.Adrian’s hands tightened around her shoulders.“You killed my father!” he shouted again, eyes bloodshot. “You came and destroyed everything!”“Adrian!” Sabrina screamed.But he wasn’t listening anymore.Everything shattered at once.Mrs. Cole burst into louder sobs at the sight.The doctors froze awkwardly beside the bed where Mr. Cole’s body still lay covered.Miranda couldn’t even defend herself.Couldn’t breathe.Because somewhere deep inside… A horrible part of her believed him.If she hadn’t come…If they hadn’t argued…If the shares…Sabrina rushed to Adrian, trying to pull him away from her, but her sorrow had eaten away her strength. She could only resort to hitting Adrain on the back to let Miranda go. The door suddenly burst open.“What the hell is goin

Comfort is Costly

The restaurant was nearly empty.Soft jazz played faintly in the background while city lights reflected against the glass walls overlooking downtown.And for the past seven minutes…Neither Noah nor Vivian had spoken.Vivian Shaw finally dropped her wine glass on the table with a sharp clink.“Okay, this is getting creepy,” she declared. “Why exactly would a whole Noah Vale ask me out for a meeting this late at night?”Noah sat across from her calmly, one arm resting lazily against the chair.His expression remained unreadable.Vivian narrowed her eyes suspiciously.Then suddenly…“Oh my God!"Noah looked unimpressed already.“Are you interested in me?”Silence.“Do I look that young?” she continued. Still, no response from Noah. “Wow! I know a lot of younger guys are into me; I just don’t expect that even Noah Vale has a thing for older women. Or do you really not know I’m a bit… maybe a few years… older than you.” Then Noah let out a quiet laugh.Not amused.Just deeply offensive

A Mistress Claim

The penthouse was quiet; you could argue no one was there when Noah finally returned home.For a moment, he thought maybe Miranda had finally fallen asleep.But the second he stepped into the living room, he saw the light still pouring faintly from the guest bedroom.He had instructed Daniel while Miranda was at the hospital to get people to clean out the guest room so he could have his room back. Noah frowned immediately.Melissa sat curled on the couch with a blanket wrapped around her shoulders and a half-empty mug of tea in her hands.She looked exhausted.The moment she noticed him, she sighed heavily.“She’s still awake,” she said before he could ask.Noah loosened the tie around his neck slowly.“Why?”Melissa hesitated briefly.Then finally answered.“Adrian called.”Noah’s expression darkened immediately.“What does he want?”Melissa raised both hands quickly.“Not to fight. Calm down, scary billionaire.”Noah remained standing.“They’re burying Mr. Cole tomorrow.”Silence.

Words Can be Poisonous

Adrian’s hand remained on the door handle for several seconds.His exhaustion was obvious now.The grief.The anger.The complete emotional drain in his eyes.But Vivian’s question stopped him anyway.“You don’t intend to divorce her, do you?”Silence followed immediately.Adrian slowly turned back toward her.“What exactly is wrong with you tonight?” he asked flatly.Vivian folded her arms.“What’s wrong with me is that your marriage contract ends tomorrow.”Adrian’s expression darkened slightly.“And?”“And what do you intend to do after that?”Adrian stared at her like she had suddenly become exhausting.“I’ve told you several times,” he said coldly, “my marriage is none of your business.”Vivian scoffed softly.“Really? Because somehow your wife became everybody’s business the second you started parading me around publicly.”Adrian’s jaw tightened faintly.Vivian stepped closer now.“You know,” she said carefully, “I genuinely thought you hated Miranda.”“I do.”The answer came to

Let's Have a Show

Adrian’s eyes narrowed sharply.“What’s in this for you?”Vivian had expected that question eventually.For a second, she almost answered carelessly. But she quickly stopped herself.Because Adrian Cole was suspicious by nature. If her answer sounded selfish, he would immediately distrust her.So instead… she softened.The sudden change caught even Adrian slightly off guard.Vivian lowered her gaze briefly before speaking quietly.“To repay my debt.”Adrian frowned faintly.Vivian forced out a bitter smile.“I know I’ve hurt you.”Adrian’s expression remained unreadable.“And I know,” she continued softly, “that you’ll probably never forgive me for what happened between us.”A strange silence settled between them.Vivian sighed lightly. “But at the very least… let me atone for my mistakes.”Adrian stared at her carefully now.Vivian looked unusually calm.Almost sincere.It was a good performance.“You expect me to believe this is guilt?” Adrian asked coldly.Vivian smiled sadly.“Wha

The Funeral Show

The moment Adrian’s expression darkened, people nearby immediately sensed trouble.He descended the staircase quickly.Too quickly.Every step carried visible anger.Miranda instinctively stiffened.Noah noticed immediately and took a subtle step closer to her, but Adrian reached them before anyone could say anything.“You actually came,” Adrian said coldly.Miranda held his gaze quietly.Then Adrian’s eyes shifted toward Noah again.“And you brought your lover to my father’s funeral?”The accusation sliced sharply through the already tense atmosphere.Nearby whispers immediately intensified.Melissa rolled her eyes instantly.“Oh God. Here we go.”Noah’s jaw tightened faintly, and he started to step forward.But Miranda stopped him with a light touch on his arm.Noah looked down at her briefly.Miranda shook her head softly.She would handle this herself.Then she turned back toward Adrian calmly.“That’s interesting,” she said quietly. “Considering you brought your own lover too.”A

What He Chose to Hear

Miranda stared at Adrian in disbelief.Then slowly, she raised a brow.“Do you want to come with me?” she asked flatly. “To the restroom?”The irritation on Adrian’s face deepened instantly.His grip loosened from her wrist immediately, like he suddenly realized how ridiculous he sounded.Miranda pulled her hand free smoothly.“That’s what I thought.”Then she turned and walked away before he could stop her again.Adrian watched her leave with dark eyes.Something about today felt wrong.Every glance.Every whisper.Every interaction around Miranda felt suspicious now.And Vivian’s words from last night kept poisoning his thoughts further.She’s playing you.The feeling sat heavily in his chest.Meanwhile, Miranda moved quietly through the hallway trying to figure out where exactly Vivian had gone.The mansion was crowded enough that several guests barely noticed her passing.She had almost reached the corridor leading toward the back garden when, suddenly, a hand grabbed her wrist sh

The Last Married Night

Miranda remained frozen long after Adrian walked away.The disgust in his eyes lingered painfully in her chest.Beside her, Noah’s expression remained dangerously dark as he watched Adrian disappear down the hallway with Vivian clinging to his arm like a prize she had finally won.Melissa finally broke the silence first. She had followed after Noah after seeing the expression on his face. “Okay,” she muttered. “I officially hate rich people.”Her presence startled both Miranda and Noah. “Jeez! Do you do this all the time?" Noah spat. “Sorry!” Melissa shrugged. “Are you alright? What’s going on?” She asked. “What happened in there?” Noah added to Melissa’s questions. Miranda blinked faintly before looking at him.“What happened between you and Adrian?” she asked instead.Noah’s face remained unreadable.“Nothing serious. Just the usual banter.”Miranda clearly didn’t believe that.But Noah ignored the question completely.“What did Vivian say to you?”Miranda exhaled slowly, sud
