He was sure that Kylian would have any words for him after the board meeting, and he was looking forward to shaking the hands of a sore loser.Max was upstanding, he had shaken Mr. Singh's hands. He loved the satisfactory look on his face. The pendulum was swinging helplessly in his favor, and he intended for it to stay that way for a whileHis eyes sought for Kylian in the midst of the crowd. He was soon unto him. Each step towards him was taken with a calculated measure of confidence."Kincaid," he called out, in a teasing manner, as he put out his hand for a handshake, ready to rub the victory in his face, knowing that Kylian would have to act cool because of the eyes on them. "Hope you enjoyed the presentation."Kylian left his hand hanging for a while, as he stared him in the eye for a few fleeting seconds."Come

"Senorita..." Diego's voice irritated her in no small way. What devilish thoughts did he plan to execute on her at the moment? It felt like she had seen a reincarnation of the dreaded Alejandro in a younger and more vibrant body.Sofia was stifled by fright, and suppressed by tiredness. She was too tired to ask what he wanted with her. Each step he took to the cell made her heart throb frightfully. She wished to seek to shift further away from him but found herself up against a wall she wished that she could pass through."There's no reason to be afraid, senorita." Diego teased with a smile on his face. "I mean no harm."She couldn't bank on those words. She couldn't bank on anything that had to do with Alejandro. She was willing to take any chances with the man before her.Diego stood, right in front of the cell's door, his figure seemed huge and frightfully intimidating, from her perspective, squatting on the cold floor. He put his hands on the bars of the cell's door."I've come to

"Yesterday's victory had been clinched," Max said, lying on his bed, in a video call with Chloe, "Wished we could be celebrating it together." He still cringed within, as he still withheld the collaboration with Kylian from her. He wasn't sure how long he could keep up with the lie, but he didn't know how she would feel upon hearing about it. The longer it tarried, the more tense it got, as the effect of the consequences amplified."Yeah...me too," Chloe said, from her end. She was taking a walk in the afternoon, through a dazzling scenery, at a park. She seemed to be escorted by a guide through the new grounds she found herself on."You know," Max said, sitting up in bed, "the sunlight just happens to make you prettier than you are, Chloe.""Don't you have anything better to do?" she teased as she continued walking."Luckily for me, the weekend is already here, I can watch your face all I want." Max grinned excitedly, as the early morning sun rays crept in through his window, signali

Gray was cruising through the less busy streets. There was traffic but not as much as it would be on a working day, and that gave him the ease of navigating his way through the paths just as he had watched in the footage.He had begun his drive from the airport in the early hours of the morning, just to be sure that he didn't make any mistakes. His drive for perfection and accuracy had never been up like it was at the moment.He was on the verge of cracking it, but also on the verge of entering the part of the case that could possibly involve serious, physical risk. He needed not to be told to bring his firearm along. If his projections had been accurate, he was very liable to run into some sort of threats, which had to be resisted by force.Thoughts of the risky side of what he was about to do kept coming at him, but he paid them no mind. He had made up his mind to avoid physical confrontation as much as possible and only make a killing when it would be necessary. His main job was ju

Sofia was still in doubt about what Diego's intentions were for him. Why was he suddenly nice to her? She had been too weary to question his initial kindness of letting her go and even feeding her, and giving her a place to sleep after all those nights on the hard cold floor of the cell where Alejandro had left her to languish.She was still on her bed, feeling sleepy. It was difficult for her to have any sort of rest, considering the circumstances of her release. She had feared that Diego could sneak into her room at any point in the night and probably take advantage of her in her tired state...but he didn't after all her hours of waiting. Now she was exhausted in the early morning hours.Sitting up in her bed, she wondered how long Diego was going to keep up with setting her free. Was he going to violate Alejandro's orders to keep her in captivity? Was her freedom going to be a short-lived experience of what could have been? She decided to take it all as it came. Her spirit had been

Kylian drove angrily through the busy streets, to head for the hospital, as each bend and turn, took him further away from his flight. He eyed his wristwatch after every passing second. Forty more minutes…still enough time. Emma was in the back seat, seeming to play unconscious, he had taken a few glances at his rare view mirror to see her wide awake. The whole scenario did way more than annoy him, but he could do nothing but sit through it. Kylian was determined not to let any of her silly acts withhold him from his little getaway.He blamed her for the fall, none of that mess would have happened if she hadn’t gotten in the way in the first place. The feeling of regret wasn’t in any way bothering him and that bothered him even more. He could possibly have killed his child before it got the chance to breathe its first breath.“Fuck…” he whispered under his breath. Why did everything have to go wrong? Was it just another way of karma telling that he had fucked up for letting Chloe out

“Okay, thank you,” Anthony said as he hung up, sighing. He had business calls even on weekends. His work seemed to be the only thing that kept him a bit motivated at that point, after what had happened the day before.Anthony’s morning was going a bit slow. It had been a literal struggle to get himself out of bed. He had looked forward to a weekend with Ollie, but his plans had been put on hold after Helen had acted up the day before. He had called and texted to apologize but his mind wasn’t settled yet.He wanted the seemingly dreadful weekend to be over as soon as it had begun, as he sat on his balcony, with his feet up on a stool, peering at the city’s view in the distance. It all felt like an all too familiar sight- he finds a lady, only to have Helen ruin it all. What exactly did she want from them? He was desperately out of ideas of what he would do with his weekend, forcing him to resort to making an unsuccessful attempt at returning to his long-forgotten musical hobbies. He

“Why did you actually bring me here?” Max finally had the guts to ask the question that had been on his mind but was continually stopped by the flow of the moment. The part of him that wanted to enjoy the moment kept silencing the rational part of him that wanted to come out of that bout without any hurt.“Why did you come?” Debby asked, smiling in a teasing manner that brought a wave of regretful emotions running through his bewildered mind. Indeed, why had he come?Max had no answer for that. He just sat staring at the small table at which they had been sitting. He had interrupted their smooth easy-going conversation with his question, which he was regretting at the moment.“You seem to be missing something, Max.” Debby finally broke the ice that was trying to settle over their conversation. She seemed like she had been enjoying their conversation, and she still was. “Someone, maybe.""What now?" Max looked up at her, a bit bewildered by her insinuation."Or rather, you're scared of
