Eddie was taking a deep breath outside the hotel, enjoying the fresh evening air when Anna's car pulled up. She stepped out, her face lit up with excitement."Eddie! My father wants to meet you tonight. He's been really eager to get to know you," she said, walking towards him with a bright smile.Eddie felt a pang of hesitation. "I don't know, Anna. I was planning to look for a rental place today. I can't keep staying in a hotel indefinitely."Anna's expression turned into a pout, her eyes pleading. "Please, Eddie. It's just for tonight. He only wants to have tea with us. It would mean a lot to me."Eddie sighed, unable to resist her earnest appeal. "Alright, alright. But let me go back to my room and change. I can't meet your father in these clothes."Anna beamed, grabbing his arm. "Great! Let's hurry then."Back in his hotel room, Eddie changed into a clean shirt and pants, his mind still conflicted about meeting Anna's father. He had a bad feeling about this, but he couldn't pinpoin

Eddie stood outside the modest building that housed the company Dane had told him about. He took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the letter in his hand. It was his application for a job that promised a fresh start, away from the dangerous path Anna's father had tried to lure him onto. The offer from Anna's father to join his narcotics group had been the final push Eddie needed to make this decision.Dane had been a good friend, always looking out for him. When Dane heard about the job opening through a connection of his brother, he immediately thought of Eddie. The company in Chelmek was known for paying well and treating its employees with respect—exactly what Eddie needed.Eddie glanced at the letter one more time, his name printed neatly at the top, along with his resume and a heartfelt cover letter. He hoped it would be enough to convince them to give him a chance. With a final, deep breath, he pushed open the door and stepped inside.The receptionist looked up and smiled. "He

"How did it go?"Dean greeted Eddie immediately as he approached the club. Eddie looked satisfied, nodding his head. "Thank you, I got it. Just like you said.""Ah, that's great to hear, Simon! I hope you'll settle in there."Eddie gave Dean a grateful look. "I'm really lucky to have met you. By the way, they want me to start working next month. So, I've got less than a month left. It's decent, at least I'll earn my first paycheck from this cleaning job at the club to cover my living expenses.""Yeah, and... can I talk to you about Anna?" Dean's expression turned serious, prompting Eddie to immediately embrace him and say, "Sure, what do you want to discuss? Maybe we shouldn't go into the club if this is important.""Yeah, I told my boss I'd be thirty minutes late and that I was with you. So, we have plenty of time. Come with me, let's go somewhere."Dean led Eddie to the motorcycle parking area, and they quickly set off. Eddie wondered about their destination, especially when Dean ste

Eddie stood by the window of his small apartment, staring out at the bustling city below. His mind was racing, thoughts swirling like a tempest in his head. Jennifer's call had shaken him to the core with the news about Frank's audacious plan to acquire their father's company. It was late evening, but Eddie knew he had to sort out his thoughts and confront this issue head-on.With a determined sigh, he pulled out his phone and dialed Jennifer's number. The phone rang several times before Jennifer finally picked up."Hello?" Her voice sounded strained, carrying the weight of the news she had just shared with Eddie."It's me, Jen," Eddie said, his voice calm but firm. "You mentioned Frank's proposal to buy Dad's company. Tell me everything."There was a brief silence on the other end of the line before Jennifer began explaining the details. Frank, their father's former business partner, had approached Jennifer with a substantial offer to purchase their family's company. The offer was tem

Eddie stood in the bustling foyer of the factory, surrounded by the hum of machinery and the rhythmic clinks of metal. He had just completed his orientation and was now ready to meet his colleagues and settle into his new role. As he adjusted his collar nervously, a voice cut through the ambient noise, catching him off guard."Hi," the greeting came from a woman who had approached him with a warm smile. She was elegant, with a grace that seemed to command attention effortlessly. Eddie blinked in surprise, recognizing her immediately as Mrs. Lorraine, the wife of his boss."There were two things he noticed now: the woman's beauty and the kindness she exuded. Eddie swallowed hard, trying to remain calm and not show his nervousness.""Hello, Ma'am, I'm Eddie," Eddie managed, his voice steadier than he felt. He bowed slightly out of habit, unsure of how to properly address his boss's wife."Don't be too formal with me, Eddie," Mrs. Lorraine chuckled lightly, her voice like a soothing melod

Eddie stood amidst the clatter of the factory floor, his hands slightly greasy from handling the machinery. It was mid-morning, and the routine tasks of the day were in full swing when he heard a familiar voice that sent a jolt of surprise through him."Is he diligent, perhaps because he just moved here?"Eddie turned to find Mrs. Lorraine, his boss's wife, approaching with purpose, carrying two glasses of what appeared to be coffee. Her presence commanded attention, and Eddie could feel the curious gazes of his colleagues upon them."Ah, Ma'am! Good morning!" Eddie greeted, instinctively bowing respectfully. His mind raced to understand why Mrs. Lorraine had singled him out in such a public manner.The woman's sharp eyes swept over the factory floor, taking note of the employees who had paused their work to acknowledge her presence. Her expression turned slightly cynical as she addressed the gathering."I just want to talk to Eddie. For those whose names are not Eddie, please continue

Eddie had always prided himself on maintaining a professional demeanor at work, but when Lorraine, his boss's wife, approached him with an unusual request, he couldn't help but feel a mix of curiosity and apprehension. Lorraine had asked Eddie to accompany her for some errands and had sweetened the deal with the promise of USD 200. Eddie, who could use the extra cash, agreed.The day started off innocently enough. Lorraine and Eddie visited a few high-end stores, with Lorraine purchasing various luxury items. Eddie carried the bags, staying silent and focused on the task at hand. However, as the afternoon turned into evening, Lorraine suggested they stop by a club for some drinks.Eddie hesitated but agreed, thinking it would be a brief visit. As they entered the dimly lit club, the loud music and vibrant atmosphere immediately set Eddie on edge. He followed Lorraine to a secluded booth where she ordered a round of drinks. "Relax, Eddie," Lorraine said, her tone light and carefree. "I

Eddie woke up to the soft light of dawn filtering through the curtains of the luxurious bedroom. He rubbed his eyes and glanced at the clock on the bedside table. Panic surged through him when he saw the time. He was already late for work. Jumping out of bed, he hurriedly dressed, trying to be as quiet as possible to avoid waking Lorraine.But it was too late. Lorraine stirred, her eyes fluttering open as she looked up at him with a sleepy smile. "Good morning, Eddie," she purred, stretching languidly on the bed."Good morning, Lorraine," Eddie replied, his voice tense. "I really need to go. I'm late for work, and I'm worried about what will happen if your husband finds out."Lorraine laughed softly and sat up, her silk nightgown slipping off one shoulder. "Relax, Eddie. I already told Will that I was going to my family's house for a few days. He's completely clueless."Eddie's heart pounded in his chest. Despite Lorraine's reassurances, the thought of her husband discovering their ill
