I couldn’t tell if Rachel was gunning for Mrs. Patterson’s spot or the role of the design director.

Looking at Rachel’s ears, I … Read More “When Love Becomes a Cage (Melanie) –

Rachel dragged me to the small garden bench outside the hospital. She plopped down with a sigh and patted the spot next to her, “Have a seat.” I reluctantly took the far edge, keen on keeping a buffer zone between us.

“Damn it, Clyde, you jerk!” Merritt’s cane was about to crash down on him, but there he stood, defiant as ever. “Grandpa, is there really no better way? All this gossip swirling around, just because she refuses to divorce! If she’d just agree to a divorce, whoever I’m with wouldn’t matter to the company.

The air in the boardroom was thick with tension, a three-way standoff that had been brewing for years now. Clyde, with his years of running the show, had a solid base of support.
