“Marilyn! Marilyn!”Mr. Rhodes was trying to hold her, but she crumpled the note in her palm and stormed out of the office, ignoring everyone calling out to her.“Mr. seers,” she was almost crying as she sat in her car, her phone placed on her ear. “Someone sent me large bouquet of flowers and a photograph of me pinned to a note, telling me that I was going to die.”“Calm down, Elena,” he said In his usual deep voice. “Where are you right now?”“I just left my office,” she was breathing shakily. “I’m heading to the parking lot. I can’t stay here, it’s not safe,” she kept rambling, blinking rapidly to prevent tears from spilling out of her eyes. “I don’t know what to do.”“Okay. Take a deep breath. Nothing can happen to you right now. Wait in the parking lot and Greg will be there to pick you up.”She nodded, not caring that he couldn’t see her and just as she was about to get into her car, she heard someone yell out her name.“Miss Thompson!”For a moment, she stilled. This wasn’t wha

Eleven years old Elena sat curled up on the thin mattress in the corner, her knees pressed tightly against her chest as thunder echoed outside.Her stomach hurt. It wasn’t sharp like the normal stomach cramps. This was the slow aching kind that came from not eating enough as usual.The door burst open suddenly and she flinched and sat up straighter.Dame Gabriella stepped inside carrying shopping bags in one hand and her swollen stomach with the other.Even heavily pregnant, the woman still looked elegant.Her hair was perfect, as always and her expensive cologne filled the air.Her sharp eyes were filled with irritation the moment they landed on Elena.“You’re still sitting there?”Elena stood up immediately. “I’m sorry, mother.”“I told you to wash the dishes.”“I did,” Elena whispered quickly. “I washed everything.”Gabriella hissed as she walked into the kitchen and checked the sink.Her face darkened instantly. She had seen a spoon in the sink.“You call this clean?” She held

He shoved his hand into his pocket as he walked behind the executives of Anderson group.They were talking amongst themselves, saying something about how much the stock had increased and which company was taking the lead that week.He glanced and the woman walking towards him, her heels clicking softly against the floor. Her face was calm and it made him mad. After what he had sent to her, she shouldn’t be calm.“Good morning, Mr. Bauer,” she said politely as a man approached from the opposite end.He passed by her without stopping and muttered something he was sure was also a greeting. “Good morning, Miss Thompson,” he said as she walked past him.She muttered a greeting in reply and smiled politely at him. She would never guess that he was behind the notes or what exactly he was after. Nobody would. He had afterall, gained their trust.He glanced at her as she went into the elevator that would take her to her office. He might have to pay her a visit soon.He turned around and w

Martins stood by the shelf, flipping absentmindedly through a file he hadn’t actually read.The discrepancies in the company’s financial records over the past years bothered him. It wasn’t that it had evaded him, he knew about it. He had seen it. But he knew that sometimes, it was better to let things be.His phone buzzed and he glanced at it before picking it up and placing it on his ear.“Yes.”“She’s still in the office sir.”Martinsfingers paused on the page. “Still?”“Yes. Everyone else has left.”He let out a deep breath. “I see.”“She shouldn’t be there alone,” the caller added carefully.“No,” he agreed. “She shouldn’t.” He knew that she would be going through the company’s financial records. She was as stubborn as their father whom she resembled.“Do you want me to send someone, sir?” The voice from the other end asked.Martins grip tightened on the file and he closed his

The first thing Elena felt was the ache in her head and then she began to hear the voices.“…what the hell was she thinking?”“…you were supposed to be watching her…”“…you’re her brother too!”Her eyes fluttered open slowly and she made out the white ceiling above her which came and went out of focus. She could smell the antiseptic too.She blinked rapidly as she tried to remember where she was.“Elena?” Someone said and that was when all her memories came rushing to her. Every single thing. From the man in the mask, to the knife, the fight and struggle before she gave up.Four heads stared down at her and she closed her eyes. All four of them had gathered, because of her.Elena pushed herself up slightly, wincing as pain shot through her shoulder.“I’m fine,” she muttered, although her voice came out hoarse.The brothers glanced at each other and shook their heads.“No, you’re not,” Kelvin snapped immediately. “You were almost killed!”“I said I’m fine.”“Fine?” he shook his head. “
