"Berley!" Quinn yelled, running out of the house to meet Kim.She threw her arms over her and hugged her. She went on to give Michael a side hug, as the three of them went inside the house."Hi, Ivan!" Kim said, waving at him. "Hello, Vera.""Hi, you're welcome."Michael shook hands with Ivan and they all settled down."Why didn't you tell us you were coming? We would have prepared something for you guys," Vera said, standing up to go to the kitchen."Ah, never mind. We didn't plan to come today. Michael said we don't just drop by to see Quinn. It's been a while," Kimberly said, smiling."Oh, that's nice. I'll go get you some juice. I'll be back in a jiffy," Kim said and walked away.Quinn sat beside her brother, while Kimberly say with Michael."So, how are you? I mean, really." Kim asked, giving her a "don't you lie to me" look.Quinn sighed, smiling a little. "I'm fine, Kim. I promise, I am.""So, why did you leave? You just left me, us without a word. Even the CEO has not been him

"Thank you so much, for coming! I really appreciate it," Quinn said, walking them out of the house."Of course! You are our friend, and we value you. Sadly, you are not working in the company again. Who will I gossip with?" Kim pouted, folding her arms over her breasts."Save all the gossip. Tell me about them whenever you come around," Quinn told her, and gave her a hug."Goodnight, Quinn. Take good care of yourself," Michael said, waving at her."Bye, Quinn!" Kim said, joining Michael, as he flagged a cab.She smiled and waited until they entered the cab, and drove away."Someone looks happy," Ivan said, hanging his hand over her shoulder.She smiled at him, "of course. Their visit shows how much they care, and that's so sweet."Ivan smiled, and did not say anything. Suddenly, he threw a question at her."Why did you resign, princess?" She turned to him, sharply. Her heart began to race."N... nothing," she replied, looking away. She wished she could tell a lie without having to l

"Goodnight, princess," he wished, kissing her forehead.He stared at her, as she slept peacefully, like the princess she was. He stepped out of the house, as he was unable to sleep. He stood outside, trying to calm his nerves. Vera walked out of the house in her nightdress and stood beside him."Can't sleep, yeah?" She asked, looking at him."Why did she have to hide such a thing from me?" He said, staring afar."Well, you have to understand your sister. She has been through a lot, and she does not want to bother anyone with her problems. She has always been like that." Vera tried to explain to him.He clenched his teeth, "I'll be going out tomorrow. I'll be back in the evening.""Where are you going?" Vera asked, staring at his face. She could see anger and bitterness written all over his face. She was sure that he wanted to confront Harrison."I need to let some people know their place here on Earth. Just because he has money, does not mean he can do to people whatever he pleases.

"Who are you? What are you talking about?" Jasmine yelled, looking at Ivan.Since it was night, she could not make out his face, so she didn't remember him. Ivan studied her face closely, "you. It's you."Jasmine frowned, wondering what he meant. "Me, what? Do I know you?""How would you know?" He said, taking in a deep breath to calm down."It was you at the family banquet in Texas. You were with a lady at the car park, and I came to take her. She was crying profusely. Why? It was because of him!" She yelled, pointing at Harrison.His explanation made her remember the guy who called her a princess. Her mouth formed an 'O' as she didn't know what to say.She could not lie that she didn't know 2hwt Harrison did to Quinn. Well, she knew everything except the thing that happened between them in the office."What? Are you speechless?" Ivan questioned. "Never mind. I didn't come for you but for this rich brat of a CEO!""Can we talk?" Harrison finally voiced out after being quiet for a wh
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Visiting Quinn.
In the past four months, Harrison had had more than three assistants. None of them had lasted up to two months. They all resigned because they could not cope with Harrison's cold attitude and nagging. "Here is my resignation letter, sir. Please, sign it." The young man said, placing the white paper on the table.Harrison looked at him, letting out a sigh. He took the envelope and brought out the paper. He took a pen and signed on it."Thank you, sir. It was nice working with you," the man said, and took a bow, before leaving.He threw his head back, leaning on the chair, as he shut his eyes, wondering what next to do.How would he start finding another assistant to work for him? Just as he thought about everything that had been going on, the door opened up, revealing his sister.He glanced at her and shut his eyes again.Jasmine looked worried, and she walked towards him. "Harrison, what is happening? I saw your assistant packing his things from the office. Is everything okay?" She

Harrison did not stop trying to talk to Quinn, but every time he came around, Quinn would shut him out.It became routine for him that he visit Quinn after work. "Why are you being stubborn? Do you hate the fact that I'm being too nice to you? I said stay away from my sister, don't you get?" Ivan mouthed, as he came to find Harrison by the door, waiting for Quinn."Please, I just want to speak with her. It won't take more than five minutes," he replied, his voice sounding calmer than usual.Ivan chuckled, "You dare ask for five minutes? It seems like you don't understand that you can't even see her, even for a second.""Try to understand. It was only a misunderstanding that can be sorted out between the two of us. Just let me speak with Quinn," he politely requested.Ivan was adamant about refusing to speak with his sister. He did not want her to have anything to do with Harrison at all."No! You cannot and will never speak with my sister. You had the chance, Harrison. You had more t
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Mrs. Samantha Meets Quinn.
Since Harrison always visited her almost every day, she, somehow, always expected to see him. The doorbell rang, and Quinn rushed to the door, thinking it was Harrison. She wanted to hear him out, and it was the perfect opportunity to speak with him since Ivan and Vera were out.So hurriedly opened the door to find Ivan standing with a grocery bag. A tinge of disappointment appeared on her face."What? Is something wrong?" Ivan asked, noticing the expression on her face. She shook her head and wore a smile. She hugged him and took the bag from him."You are acting weird," Ivan admitted."Nothing. Let's just call it a pregnancy symptom," she said, giggling.He glanced at her with his eyebrows lifted."Whatever," he said, "I bought you fruits. It's good for your health.""Aw, you are such a darling!" She blushed, sitting down on the couch, ready to devour them."Hey, hey," he called out, causing her to pause. "You need to wash them, first, young lady."She growled, taking the basket t
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Quinn Slaps Harrison.
It was around 8:45 pm when Quinn heard a knock on the door. She glanced at Ivan, as they gave each other an inquisitive look."I'll go get the door," Ivan said, but she stretched her hand, stopping him."I'm sure it is Harrison. Don't worry about that, I will talk to him myself."Ivan nodded, and went back to his seat, while Quinn arranged her dress and walked towards the door.As she opened up, she confirmed her intuition that it was Harrison. He stood there in front of the door in his tailored suit, and his hands tucked into his pants.His face lit up as he did Quinn because it was always Ivan or Vera getting the door. He never got the chance to see her.Her face remained calm, yet there was a trace of anger visible on her face. She shut the door behind her, and crossed her arms over her chest, as she looked at him."Hi," he said, clearing his throat."What do you want?"He swallowed hard, and looked down, before glancing at her again."Quinn, I came to talk to you.""About what, Ha

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
