FROM STREETS TO SUITES About Him.
Harrison’s heart soared as he slipped the ring onto her finger, his hands, a bit shaky, as he excitedly kissed the back of her palm. He stood up, pulling her into a tight embrace as the room that was silent turned into applause. For a moment, it felt like they were the only two people in the world, wrapped up in their love and happiness, as they locked their gazes.Just as they were about to kiss, the door to the room opened, and someone walked in. Harrison and Quinn turned, thinking it was Yvonne or probably his mother.However, the sight of the person caused them to freeze in shock at the sight of the person standing there.It was Jacob.The room fell silent like a graveyard as Jacob stepped forward, no one could tell his expression. He glanced at Harrison, then at Quinn, his eyes shifting from them to the ring.“Jacob?” Quinn breathed, her voice filled with surprise and confusion. “Wh... what are you doing here?”Jacob looked at her, his expression, calm. “I came to see you, Quin
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Part Of The Family.
The echo of Jacob’s words still rang in her ears. Everyone was on edge, their minds were clouded with dreaded thoughts. What did Jacob mean? As much as it bothered everyone who was present in the room, it bothered Quinn more. She kept thinking of the remaining words that he left unsaid.Ivan, though he was taken aback by the scene, refused to let the matter rest. After everyone had gone, heading to their different destinations, he called Harrison aside. “I need to know, Harrison,” Ivan began, his voice sounding low. “What the hell was Jacob talking about? Do you have any idea what he meant? I could see the way you both looked at each other.”Harrison avoided Ivan’s gaze. “I swear, I don’t know,” he replied. Ivan was not convinced. There was something about the way he spoke that was not convincing enough.He stepped closer, squinting his eyes. “Listen, Harrison, if there is something you are hiding, now is the time to come clean. We’re all in danger here, and if we’re going to fix

The decision to visit him in prison had been a difficult one, but the need to confront him, to understand his motives, had been too strong to ignore. She wanted to know what he was up to. She wanted to be clear because the expression he wore on Quinn's birthday seemed like he was backing out of their initial agreement, but now, it seemed like he had something up his sleeves.The prison was cold and unwelcoming like it was not a place she needed to be. Yvonne walked through the corridors, her heart racing as she thought of how best to face Jacob. She had rehearsed what she would say to him, and how confident she would act, but as she sat in the visitor's room, all she had planned to say seemed to have slipped into oblivion, leaving her bare.Jacob was brought out of his cell, led by a police officer to the room, his hands clasped together, and a smile played on his lips as he looked up at her. He did not look like how a normal prisoner would look. He was calm like this was his home
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Failed Plan.
The couple of weeks after the trending news were hectic for Quinn, as she worked tirelessly to keep the company moving forward. Although she had garnered a lot of respect from the board members, not everyone was supportive of her leadership. Some were determined to see her fail, and they were willing to go to any lengths to ensure that she did.Two board members in particular had been openly against her from the beginning. Mr. Charles and Mrs. Jack, are two long-serving members of the board.They had made it clear that they didn’t believe Quinn had what it took to lead the company. Not only because she was not on their side, but because she had taken away the power they had to control a part of the company.Quinn had sensed that something was off, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. There were whispers in the hallways and suspicious glances from some of the employees, as she walked into the building."What's going on? Why does everyone seem like they were talking about me? Is t

"Quinn, where are we going?" Veronica asked, feeling frustrated that Quinn was ignoring her."I want to sell you off," she replied, getting off the cab."What do you mean by selling me off?" She frowned, trailing behind her.Quinn suddenly stopped, "Close your eyes." She said, her voice, demanding."What? Why? What sort of games are you playing?" Quinn did not waste any time to blindfold her."Listen to my instructions, and obey all of them."Knowing that she could not beat Quinn, she sighed in obedience."Take three steps forward, and stop."She obliged and came to a halt. She felt a hand grab her waist, and with reflex, she removed the blindfold and found Richard dressed up in a black suit."Richard? What's going on? I could have punched you, you know?" He chuckled, and went down on one knee, taking out a box.He opened it, and voiced out, "Veronica, will you marry me?"She was taken aback, not expecting this sudden gesture. She had told him that she was not ready to get married y
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Wedding.
The day of Quinn and Harrison's wedding was drawing near. The atmosphere seemed to have changed as the weight that hung over Harrison became unbearable.The news of Jacob’s escape from prison had hit him like a thunderbolt. The thought of Jacob bothered him so much, that he kept zoning out of space, threatening to destroy everything he had worked so hard to build. Although Jacob was dangerous and manipulative, he was not going to give him a chance. He could not risk it. Not today. Not with Quinn. He was not sure what Jacob was planning, but he needed to act fast. His wedding was in five days, and he had to move it to the next day.He had planned, earlier on, to have a grand wedding, but now he had changed his mind. He wanted something private."Why the sudden change of mind, sir?" Hardy asked as he drove down the road."He escaped."That was all Harrison said, and it did not take Hardy any longer to realize the situation.The car stopped in front of Quinn's company, and Harrison ste
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Just The Beginning.
The room was silent, each anxiously waiting to hear what she had to say. She had unexpectedly left the state, and now, she suddenly showed up. It was not hidden that she had a motive; maybe to destroy the union between the two. She glanced at everyone, and back at the soon-to-be couple. "Hello, everyone. Harrison is someone I love, and I always hoped to be his wife, one day," she paused, studying everyone's expression. Quinn's grip tightened on Harrison, as she almost forgot how to breathe, staring at Yvonne with a trembling expression. "However, every time I tried to get closer to him, it seemed like something—someone was pulling him away, and I realized that there was no way I would get him for myself. What am I saying? I am happy for Quinn and Harrison. I wish you two well." With that, she stepped out of the altar, joining the others. It was unexpected. They were all expecting her to say the opposite, but her words shocked them. Her words brought a strange sense of relief.
FROM STREETS TO SUITES On A Date.
Eva stood before the mirror, her fingers adjusting the neckline of her dress. The burgundy gown clung to her curves. They had barely had time to themselves these past few weeks, and the idea of a quiet evening with Ivan filled her with joy. Tonight was just for them. When Ivan finally arrived to pick her up, the sight of him took her breath away. He was dressed in a tailored black suit, his hair neatly styled, and he looked every bit of the man she had fallen in love with. They drove in silence, their hands intertwined, as they sat behind. When the car pulled up in front of Gerald's Suites, Eva’s eyes widened in surprise. “Ivan, what is this?” she asked, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. “Just wait,” he replied, his eyes sparkling with excitement. Ivan led her through the lobby, taking the elevator up, the doors opening to reveal a luxurious suite that took Eva’s breath away. The room was adorned with a king-sized bed covered in satin. Candles flickered on every sur

Yours, Forever.
Harrison stood outside the hospital. The air was filled with the scent of freedom and relief, at last.It had been some depressing and stressful months. But tonight was different. Tonight, he felt lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.The glass doors of the hospital slid open, and Harrison walked out, his tall frame silhouetted against the bright lights of the lobby. Harrison took a deep breath and stepped forward to Ivan. For a moment, neither of them spoke, the silence was eerie. Then, Harrison broke it."Ivan," he began, his voice steady, "I know I hurt Quinn. I know I messed up in ways I can't even begin to describe. But... I’m truly sorry."Ivan’s gaze was hard as he studied Harrison, his eyes searching for sincerity. Then, with a slow, deliberate nod, he replied, "I believe you, Harrison. And I can see how much you love my sister. Just... don’t make me regret this."Relief flooded through Harrison, and without thinking, he extended his hand. After a b
Death.
The night air was thick with tension. Harrison stood firm, his gaze locked with Jacob’s as they faced off under the dim glow of the moonlight. Jacob’s eyes gleamed with a dangerous glint, a crazed smile twitching at the corners of his lips.“So, you want one of us to die, huh?” Harrison’s voice was steady, though his heart raced wildly in his chest. “You think that’s the only way this ends?”Jacob nodded slowly, his smile widening. “Oh, I know it is. One must die for the other to live, Harrison. No way out of that. And you, Harrison, will die.”Quinn stood behind Harrison, her entire body shaking as she watched the two men. The man she loved and the man who had traumatized her in the past.Tears streamed down her cheeks as fear coiled in her stomach like a venomous snake.“Please, stop this,” she begged, her voice breaking. “Both of you, just—”Jacob laughed, a hollow, chilling sound that cut through her plea like a blade. “No more running, no more hiding. Let’s settle this once and
Back Door And Race.
The aftermath of the explosion left a thick cloud of smoke and dust settling in the air just outside the house. Harrison grabbed Quinn's hand, pulling her close as they stumbled backwards, away from the shattered window. He looked at Quinn, panic etched into his face as the sound of the phone ringing pierced through the chaos. It was Jacob again.Quinn’s eyes widened with fear as she realized how serious Jacob was. Her body trembled, and she screamed, covering her ears, trying to block out the shackles collapsing around her. Harrison watched her, his heart aching at her terror. He pulled her close, whispering reassurances, but his own fear was evident.Jacob’s voice on the other end was disturbingly calm, a contrast to the chaos he had just unleashed. “I’m warning you. Involve the police, and you’ll face more than just an explosion.”Harrison’s jaw tightened as he gripped the phone. “What do you want, Jacob?” he demanded.“I only want Quinn,” Jacob replied coolly. “And I’m giving y
Truth And Explosion.
Harrison’s voice was calm, yet filled with remorse as he recounted the painful memories that had tormented him for years. He hesitated before speaking again, his gaze fixed on the floor, avoiding Quinn’s eyes.“I’ve been carrying this guilt for a long time,” he began quietly, “ever since Stella… I wasn’t ready to be a father. I didn’t know how to deal with the situation or how to support her the way she deserved. I was reckless, neglectful even, and I regret every moment of it.”Quinn remained silent, her expression unreadable. Despite her efforts to maintain her composure, her heart tightened with sympathy and confusion.Harrison took a deep breath, exhaling slowly as if releasing a burden that had been suffocating him. “I remember that day like it was yesterday,” he continued, his voice trembling slightly. “Stella and I had an argument that morning. It wasn’t anything serious, just about trivial things and then she left the house. I didn’t think much of it. I saw her hurry up, head
Tell Me.
The drive to Quinn’s secluded apartment was silent. Ivan’s eyes stayed locked on the road, his knuckles white against the steering wheel. Beside him, Eva cradled baby Eric, her gaze drifting between the passing scenery and her husband’s hardened profile. Harrison, unbeknownst to Ivan, had followed secretly from a distance. He trailed their car cautiously, never letting it out of his sight.Quinn’s apartment was a small cottage, nestled in a deserted outskirt of the city. It was the perfect hideaway, but the isolation only made her feel more hurt. It had been almost a week since she had spoken to anyone other than her doctor and Ivan.See was not ready to see anyone, especially not her brother, but she knew they would come sooner or later.When she saw Ivan’s car pull up outside, she took a deep breath, bracing herself for what was sure to be an emotional encounter.“Quinn,” Eva greeted softly as she stepped inside, carrying baby Eric in her arms. She smiled gently, trying to mask h
Only Hope.
Harrison paced back and forth in his apartment, his phone gripped tightly in his hand. He had tried calling Quinn multiple times, only to be met with silence. Each unanswered call, each unread message fueled his frustration. He couldn’t get through to Ivan either. Everyone seemed to have locked him out. The only person he could think of now, the only one who might listen was Eva.His finger moved over her number. He knew calling her was risky. She was, after all, Ivan’s wife. But he was desperate. He needed someone to hear him out before everything goes out of control.Taking a deep breath, he pressed the call button. The phone rang twice before he heard her soft voice on the other end.“Harrison?” Eva sounded surprised. “Is everything okay?”“Eva, please—I need to see you,” he blurted out, his voice laced with desperation. “Just for a few minutes. It’s important.”She hesitated, her silence making him worried. “I don’t know, Harrison. Ivan wouldn’t like it if he found out we met.”
My Turn.
Harrison sat in the dark, his hands buried in his hair as he stared at the blinking phone screen. Quinn’s voice replayed in his mind, cold and distant.“Never call me again.”The four words had shattered him, and now he felt the pang of every secret he had kept from her. Jasmine stood beside him, her expression torn between anger and pity.“It’s not the end of the world, Harrison,” Jasmine murmured, reaching out to place a hand on his shoulder. “Quinn is angry, but if you explain—”“Explain?” Harrison cut her off, his voice laced with a bitterness that surprised even himself. “Explain what, Jasmine? That I’m a coward who let Jacob control me? That I was too scared to tell the woman I love about something that could destroy her trust in me forever?”Jasmine’s gaze softened. “It wasn’t your fault, Harrison. What happened to Stella and the baby was an accident. You know that. She knows that.”“But she doesn’t know!” Harrison exclaimed, his frustration spilling over. He stood abruptly, kn

Running Away.
Quinn’s heart felt like it had been shattered into a thousand pieces as she sped away from Harrison’s office. The images, the recordings, Jacob’s smug grin...everything played on repeat in her mind. Harrison’s face as she confronted him was burned into her memory, and it only deepened her pain. How could he have kept something like this from her? How could he have betrayed her trust so completely?When she finally pulled into Ivan’s house, she barely had the strength to get out of the car. She didn’t even need to knock before the door flew open, revealing Ivan’s concerned face. He must have known something was wrong the moment she locked herself up all night.“Princess,” he mouthed, his eyes scanning her tear-streaked face. “What happened?”Quinn’s composure broke as she launched herself into his arms, sobs racking her body. Ivan held her tight, his jaw clenched in silent fury. Whatever had caused this, he knew it had something to do with Harrison. His mind raced, imagining a hund
