The stress from the legal battles and the emotional toll of Jane’s vendetta were beginning to wear on him.Mia was in the living room, her eyes focused on her laptop but clearly distracted. She glanced up as Scot walked in, a concerned expression crossing her face.“Hey,” she said softly, setting the laptop aside. “How did it go?”Scot dropped his briefcase by the door and ran a hand through his hair. “It was… exhausting. Jane’s latest demands are pushing the boundaries. Richard says it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep things under control.”Mia’s brow furrowed. “I thought we were

Scot was engrossed in a stack of paperwork when he heard Mia’s sharp intake of breath. The sound cut through his focus, and he quickly moved to the source.In the living room, Mia stood frozen by the coffee table, her face a mask of shock and distress. She clutched a letter tightly in her trembling hands. Her eyes, wide with a mix of fear and sadness, met Scot’s as he approached.“What is it?” Scot asked, trying to keep his voice calm despite the sudden rise of anxiety in his chest.Mia handed him the letter, her hands shaking. “It’s... it’s something I didn’t expect.”Scot took the letter and began reading. The contents were chilling and detailed aspects of Mia’s past that she had never disclosed. The anonymous letter described her teenage years with unsettling clarity, painting a picture of survival that was far from the life she had built for herself.The letter det

Scot paced around his living room, his mind a whirlwind of emotions. The words from the anonymous message echoed in his head, haunting him relentlessly. “Do you really know who Mia is? She used to be a stripper, and she slept with men for money.” The words felt like daggers, tearing through the image of the woman he thought he knew. Mia sat quietly on the couch, her hands trembling as she clasped them together. She knew this moment was coming, but nothing could have prepared her for the weight of Scot’s silence. It was worse than anger. His pacing, the clenched jaw, the eyes avoiding her—it was all too much. Finally, Scot stopped, his voice strained as he spoke. “Why didn’t you tell me, Mia? Why did I have to find out this way?” Mia took a deep breath, her heart racing. “I was going to tell you. I was. But I... I didn’t know how.” “How long were you going to wait?” His voice rose, frustration clear in his tone. “Until someone else told me, like today? Until it blew up in both our

Scot lay awake, staring at the ceiling, his mind racing with thoughts of Mia’s past and the recent revelation that had shaken their world. Beside him, Mia was tangled in the sheets, her face turned away, the peaceful facade of sleep belying the turmoil she was experiencing.Scot turned to Mia, his heart aching at the sight of her distress. “Mia,” he said quietly, “we need to talk about what happened yesterday.”Mia’s eyes fluttered open, and she turned to face him, her gaze heavy with sorrow. “I know, Scot. I’m ready to talk. I never wanted you to find out like this.”The previous evening had been a blur of shock and anger. An anonymous letter had arrived, detailing Mia’s past in graphic and painful detail. The letter described how, after being left to fend for herself, Mia had worked as a stripper in a club and had slept with men to make ends meet. It painted a picture of de

Jane’s anger and desperation seemed to have intensified, leading her to exploit Mia’s past vulnerabilities in a new and disturbing way. Scot and Mia were having breakfast in their apartment when the news broke. The television was on in the background, and a news segment caught their attention. News Anchor: “In a shocking development, an anonymous source has leaked details about Mia Laurent’s past, raising serious questions about her character and her relationship with Scot Frankenstein. The source claims that Mia’s previous work in a strip club has compromised her integrity and her suitability for her current public role.” Mia’s hand shook as she reached for the remote to turn off the television. Her face was pale, and her eyes filled with hurt. “Scot, how could she do this? How could Jane stoop so low?” Scot’s expression was grim, his jaw clenched. “This

They had decided to take the day off from work to focus on their relationship and address the fallout.Mia sat on the couch, her eyes red from lack of sleep. She stared blankly at the coffee table where a newspaper lay, its headlines blaring about the latest scandal. The exposure of her past had sent shockwaves through their lives, and she was struggling to come to terms with the impact it had on their future.Scot entered the room with two cups of coffee. He set one down in front of Mia before taking a seat beside her. His expression was a mix of frustration and concern. “Mia, we need to talk about what happened yesterday.”Mia nodded, taking a sip of her coffee. “I know, Scot. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around it all. I just c

The grand mansion of Donald Frankenstein stood as a testament to decades of success and opulence. As Scot drove up the long, winding driveway, he couldn’t help but reflect on the contrast between the serene elegance of his father’s home and the chaotic turbulence of his own life. The last few months had been a whirlwind of legal battles and personal conflicts, and now, faced with Jane’s relentless attacks, he felt the need for guidance more than ever.The front door swung open before Scot could even knock, and there stood Mr Donald, his imposing figure softened by a genuine smile. “Scot! It’s been a while,” Mr Donald said, pulling his son into a warm embrace.“It has dad,” Scot replied, stepping into the grand foyer. The sight of the familiar surroundings—the marble floors, the ornate chandeliers—brought a fleeting sense of nostalgia. “Thanks for seeing me, Dad.”“Anytime,” Mr Donald said, gesturing towards the spacious living room. “Let’s catch up. It’s not often I get to see you lik

Scot nodded, his eyes clouded with worry. “I can’t either. But I’m just glad you’re okay.” The door to the room opened, and the nurse walked in with a warm smile. “You’re all set, Mia. Just sign these discharge papers, and you’ll be free to go.” Mia thanked the nurse, her hand shaking slightly as she signed her name. Scot helped her gather her things, but there was an unspoken tension between them. The news of Jane’s arrest had spread across the city, and Scot knew that the consequ

Scot sat in his office, staring at the spreadsheet in front of him, though his mind was elsewhere. The past few weeks had been relatively calm, but he couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that something wasn’t right. His thoughts drifted to Mia, wondering what she was doing, but he brushed it off, assuming she was at work or on her way home.Just as he was about to turn his attention back to his computer, his phone rang. Scot barely glanced at the screen before answering, expecting it to be his assistant with some minor office matter.“Hello, Scot Frankenstein speaking.”“Mr. Frankenstein, this is Dr. Williams from St. Matthew’s Hospital. You need to come quickly—Mia has been admitted. She’s... she’s been shot.”For a moment, time seemed to stand still. Scot’s entire body froze, the words echoing in his mind like a nightmare he couldn’t wake from. His heartbeat hammered in his ears, and the room spun around him.“What? What did you say?” His voice was hoarse, barely above a whisper.“Mi

The sunlight barely crept through the curtains of Scot’s room as his phone buzzed on the nightstand. Scot groaned, reaching over to grab it, his eyes squinting against the morning light. It was a call from his assistant, Linda. Normally, she would never call this early unless something serious was happening.He sat up quickly, his heart already racing. "Linda? What’s going on?" Scot asked, his voice thick with sleep."Scot, I’m so sorry to bother you this early, but we have a serious situation. A major client has expressed concern about pulling their contract due to the rumors circulating. We’ve had multiple inquiries from other clients too. It’s not looking good," Linda said, her voice fraught with tension.Scot’s heart sank. He had known that the drama with Jane and the rumors circulating around town could eventually bleed into his professional life, but hearing it was actually happening was a gut punch."Which client?"
