I stood outside my childhood home, taking it all in. I’d never spent this long away from it since the day I was born in this body, and the distance made everything feel strange and unfamiliar. If I hadn’t met Dad at my new place when I did, I probably would’ve hesitated to come here on a Sunday, knowing he’d be at home.

We're going to the hospital.” He nodded gratefully and…

“What the fuck is going on, Boris!?” Robert Mueller, the head of security at Phoenix and a former director of the FBI, shouted at his second-in-command. “What exactly are we dealing with?” The younger man wiped his brow worriedly. “I’m not exactly sure. What I do know is that someone somehow got into our internal servers. We don’t know the extent of the breach or what possible channels allowed it, but our best teams are working non-stop to make sure we catch the perpetrator.” Robert…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

- As I walked out of the audition room, I noticed that everyone else had left, leaving just the sexy redhead receptionist behind, the same one who was currently avoiding looking at me. “Hey, Paige!” I greeted her, stopping in front of her desk. When she didn’t even look up, I added, “Still mad at me, huh? Well, I just wanted to tell you that I lost the role, so that I won’t be coming here anymore.” That did the trick of shocking her enough that she forgot she was mad at me. “What do…

The allegations against him might have made people question his character, but no one could deny his talent, his influence, or the weight his words carried. Even if the name he gave me didn’t stick (which I hoped it wouldn’t), I would still cherish it forever because of Michael’s intentions, which I knew were genuine. One thing I had learned during all my time with him was that…

Scarlett sat across from me, her expression frozen somewhere between disbelief and confusion.
