There was a practiced efficiency in her demeanor, the kind that comes from years of dealing with visitors and their demands.John placed his hand on the counter and wagged his head. “No, I don’t, but just tell your boss that John Beckham is here to see him, and I am sure he will allow me through,” John explained confidently.

“I want just one thing from you,” John began, his eyes still intently peering up at Brad.There was a palpable tension that flared up between the two men, a tension so thick it felt like a physical presence in the room. The smirk Brad had been wearing faded away, replaced by a look of curiosity and caution.“What is that?” Brad asked, the suspense John kept him in gnawing at his patience. The air hung heavy, a handshake suspended in mid-air, as if time itself had frozen.John’s voice was steady, but the stern gaze in his eyes revealed the seriousness of his demand. “Apart from you, no one should find out that I am working with you.

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee always filled the space, creating a comforting cocoon in the early hours.“I said I still love you, Stephanie. I really do. And even after everything that

“Get away from me!” Stephanie growled, pushing John away from herself with all the strength she could muster. Her voice was filled with a raw, visceral power that sent a shiver down his spine. She shook her head vigorously, taking a step backward as if the very closeness to him burned her skin. “How dare you? How dare you think that you can even kiss me?” she shouted, her voice cracking with a mixture of rage and disbelief.

“Tell me, what did you just say right now?” Stephanie turned and came to John with widened eyes.

He savored the tension that crackled in the air between them, reveling in the power he held over Stephanie’s emotions, the puppet master pulling the strings of her heart with malicious glee.“I am not lying, and I have no need to lie against Jeffery,” John replied coolly, his voice a smooth silk thread weaving its way through the chaos of Stephanie’s mind. “I just asked a question. What if Jeffery does not really love you just like you love and cherish him? What if he is only using you

The darkness around her seemed to amplify the tension, making her acutely aware of every rustle and shadow.John scratched his head, desperately searching for the right words to say. “I am…” he started, but then he caught himself.

He stood outside, concealed by the shadows of a large oak tree, waiting for the moment she would come out. He knew better than to approach her at the door; he didn’t want to scare her into calling the police.John’s plan hinged on Claire taking her child to school.
