View MoreI stepped out of my car, the elegant black gown flowing around me like a dark aura of determination. Tonight, I had a mission, and the target was Nelly. The venue was buzzing with industry leaders, media, and influencers—perfect for what I had in mind.Walking confidently through the grand entrance, I felt every eye on me. I spotted Nelly immediately, frantically directing the event staff, trying to keep everything in order. Nelly’s company was hosting this huge event, and she was clearly struggling to manage the pressure."Good evening. Carina Westwood, from Leah Enterprises," I said smoothly to the receptionist. She looked taken aback but quickly recovered and handed me a name badge.“ The Famous fashion designer , You are on the list ma , Let me escort you to your seat “As I moved through the crowd, I saw Nelly’s eyes widen in shock when she saw me. I gave her a small, knowing smile, feeling a thrill of satisfaction."What are you doing here?" Nelly hissed, trying to keep her voic
As soon as Carina left, the tension in the Westwood household remained palpable. Her father, Mr. Westwood, turned to Nelly, his face a mixture of concern and anger."What did you do, Nelly?" he demanded, his voice stern.Nelly avoided his gaze, her lips pressed into a thin line. Instead of replying, she grabbed her keys and stormed out of the house, leaving her parents bewildered.Driving furiously, Nelly made her way to Maria’s house. Her mind raced with thoughts of how to manage the fallout from Carina’s visit. By the time she arrived, her anger had reached a boiling point. She burst into Maria’s house without knocking, finding her former accomplice seated at the dining table."What did you tell Carina?" Nelly shouted, grabbing Maria by the collar and shaking her violently.Maria’s eyes widened in genuine fear, but she quickly masked it with a feigned look of confusion. "I don’t know what you’re talking about, Nelly," she stammered.Nelly’s grip tightened. "Don’t play dumb with me.
As I finished dealing with Maria, the weight of the revelation still hung heavily in the air. Mandy looked at me with concern etched on her face."Mandy, you should head home. I need to make a stop at my family's house," I said, trying to sound as composed as possible.Mandy’s eyes widened. "Carina, are you sure? You haven't been back there in years. It's... it's a lot to face.""I know, Mandy. But it's time. I need to deal with this, once and for all. I can take care of it," I replied, giving her a reassuring smile, though I wasn’t sure how much I believed it myself."Carina, are you sure you want to do this alone?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry.I shook my head, resolute. "I need to face them, Mandy. This has been a long time coming. Go on ahead, I'll be fine."Reluctantly, she nodded and headed to her car. I took a deep breath and started my drive towards the house I had avoided for so long. As I drove through the familiar streets, memories of my past flooded back—how I ha
As soon as I closed the door behind me, I locked it and sat down on my bed. My heart was still racing from the night’s excitement, but a new anxiety was building. I knew I couldn’t avoid the video any longer. Taking a deep breath, I opened my phone and hit play.The screen flickered to life, and there she was—Maria, one of my company’s most trusted employees. My stomach twisted as I watched her handing over confidential documents to an unidentified person. My mind raced, trying to make sense of it all. How could she betray us? Betray me?I felt a surge of anger and hurt. Maria had always been so diligent, so trustworthy. I never would have suspected her. The video continued, showing clear evidence of her involvement in the leak. My blood boiled. I knew I had to confront her immediately.I stormed out of my room, not even noticing Leah’s concerned calls. My mind was singularly focused. I grabbed my car keys and headed for the door, my hands shaking with anger. As I reached the drivewa
I was in my bedroom, carefully selecting a dress for my date with James, when my phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, my heart skipped a beat—it was the security team from my company. Ever since the leak of sensitive information that nearly cost me my position, they had been investigating who might be responsible. It had been weeks, and I hadn’t received any updates from them. A call now meant there was news, and I hoped it was good.I picked up the call, trying to keep my voice steady. “Hello, Carina here.”“Good evening, Ms. Carina,” the head of security greeted. “We have updates regarding the investigation. We have both good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?”My heart pounded in my chest. “Let’s start with the good news,” I said, holding my breath.“The good news is, we’ve identified the individuals responsible for the leak,” he said.A wave of relief washed over me. “That’s great to hear. What’s the bad news?”There was a pause on the other end. “The bad news is,
Luke stormed into his house, still fuming from the conversation with his grandfather. The tension had not eased by the time he reached the living room, where his mother, Claire, was sitting. Her face lit up with concern as she saw him.“What’s wrong, Luke? You look upset,” Claire said, her voice gentle.Luke threw his coat on a nearby chair and flopped onto the couch. “It’s Martins and Carina. The whole situation is a mess.”Before Claire could respond, Luke noticed someone else in the room. Sitting quietly beside his mother was Nelly. Luke’s eyebrows shot up in surprise and confusion.“Nelly? What are you doing here?” he demanded, his tone sharp.Claire stood up, sensing the tension. “I’ll leave you two to talk,” she said, exiting the room swiftly.Nelly straightened up, her eyes hardening as she met Luke’s gaze. “I came here to talk to you, Luke. This won’t take long.”Luke crossed his arms, leaning back into the couch with an irritated sigh. “Fine, go ahead.”Nelly took a deep bre
Luke walked back to his grandfather's office, a sense of satisfaction tingling at the edges of his demeanor. He had always been good at sowing evil seeds,and seeing Martins in distress earlier had been particularly gratifying. But now, with the potential fallout of Martins and Carina’s broken engagement, he had another agenda.His grandfather, Mr. Sinclair, was sitting at his grand oak desk, papers scattered about as he attempted to focus on business matters. He glanced up as Luke entered, his expression softening slightly.“Luke, come in. I was just thinking about Martins,” he said, his voice tinged with worry.Luke plastered a sympathetic look on his face. “I know, Grandpa. It’s obviously for the best” Mr. Sinclair sighed deeply. “I’m worried about him. This whole thing with Carina… it’s really taken a toll on him. I think I need to call her, see if there’s anything we can do to mend things.”Luke’s facade of sympathy cracked just a bit. He couldn’t let his grandfather interfere a
Martins left Carina’s house, his mind in turmoil. The kiss had been a desperate attempt to reclaim something that was slipping away, but Carina had pulled back. Her words echoed in his mind, "I can’t do this, Martins." The realization that she was serious about moving on, possibly with James, gnawed at him.As he drove, the weight of the situation pressed down on him. He couldn’t shake the feeling that everything was slipping through his fingers. The thought of Carina with someone else, especially someone as polished and charming as James, made his heart ache. He slammed his hand against the steering wheel in frustration and let out a loud, guttural scream. The sound reverberated in the confined space of the car, but it did little to alleviate his pain.He pulled over to the side of the road, taking a deep breath. He needed to get a grip. Driving aimlessly wasn’t going to solve anything. He picked up his phone and changed his destination. He wasn’t going home; he was going to his fath
The tension in the room grew thick as Martins leaned in closer. I could feel his breath on my skin, and my heart raced in anticipation. His lips brushed against mine, tentative at first, and I responded instinctively, a soft moan escaping my lips. The kiss deepened, growing more intense with each passing second, our emotions blending in a whirlwind of longing and regret.But just as quickly as it had started, I pulled away, breaking the kiss. I could see the confusion and disappointment in Martins’s eyes.“What’s the matter?” he asked, his voice husky with desire.I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. “I can’t do this, Martins.”He cleared his throat, looking down. “Why not?”I stood up, needing some distance to clear my head. “Because it’s not right. We’ve been through too much. This… this isn’t going to fix anything.”He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Carina, I know I’ve made mistakes, but can’t we at least try?”I shook my head, feeling tears prick at the corner
