The Executive Who Never Existed

Image
Victor pushed the fine white porcelain cup across the mahogany table, a perfectly calculated smile forming on his lips. “Drink, Arthur. You look tense. And we have an important matter to settle before the board meeting,” Victor said, leaning back in his leather chair. Exhausted, Arthur picked up the cup and took a long sip of the strong coffee. He glared at his rival before throwing a black folder onto the table. “The subject is mine to dictate today, Victor. I got the reports from the Miami branch. I know about the forty-million-dollar embezzlement. The board will know in thirty minutes, and you'll be walking out of here in handcuffs.” Victor didn't blink. He simply glanced at his wristwatch, then at the cup in Arthur's hand. “You've always been brilliant with numbers, Arthur. Terrible at strategy, though,” Victor replied, his voice calm and almost theatrical. “I knew you'd find the missing money. That's why I prepared your replacement.” Arthur frowned. “I want...

Gabriel had always believed that a silver tongue was his best shield.

The mafia preferred something far more surgical. Now, lying in the open trunk of an old black car inside an abandoned warehouse, Gabriel stared at the concrete ceiling. He had spent his entire life selling a carefully constructed illusion. Now, the smile on his face wasn't the only thing that was fake. Almost everything about her appearance had been manufactured.

Every detail had been designed to erase the man Gabriel had been and replace him with a striking dark-hair...

The Worst Workplace Accident

Bradley was the kind of man who seemed practically built for construction work. Years spent operating heavy machinery had left him with strong arms, calloused hands, and a respectable collection of stories about accidents that, according to him, had been “nothing serious.” That morning, he was supervising another earthmoving job on a remote piece of land. The work was straightforward: remove a layer of soil, level the ground, and get everyone home before dinner. Nothing unusual. Until lunchtime. Bradley had just finished his sandwich when he heard a scream. A woman's scream. Loud. And definitely terrified. He frowned. “What the hell...?” It didn't make sense. There weren't supposed to be any women working on the site. None. The company had hired an all-male crew for this stage of the project, and Bradley knew practically everyone by name. Another scream came from the other side of the site. Then another. Bradley put down his sandwich and headed toward the nois...
