The Twist Chapter 1 The end of the beginning

Mr. Blackwood Walked into the glass walled conference room with all his board members present.

"Mr. Blackwood addresses the board members concerning their recent plan to launch the company, this is a multi-million dollars tech company,"

Mr. Blackwood needed the best advertising agency to create a campaign that could capture global attention, for a successful launch.

"Mr. Marvel which advertising agency will help us achieve this?"

"Thank you, Mr. Blackwood, for this opportunity, Harthood advertising agency can help us achieve this, they promise transparency and efficiency and fellow board members can attest to this."

"What if we consider keeping the contract open to both Harthood Agency and Rele Agency, which know that they're the best recently in New York City. We can then invite both parties to present their proposals, allowing us to evaluate and choose the best fit for our company? Lucas suggested"

"I think we go with Mr. Lucas' suggestion, " he concluded as he walked out of the conference room.

His assistant followed him immediately with the minutes of the meeting down a glass walled hallway that led to his office.

Mr. Roberts receives a letter from Blackwood tech venture requesting for the presentation of their proposal for a campaign that they're to embark on.

"Skylar, we've selected you to represent this leading advertising agency at Black wood tech Ventures partnership presentation," Mr. Robert said as he handed over the invitation to her. Skylar's eyes were open in astonishment.

This notion lingered in Skylar's mind even until the close of work that day.

Why would the CEO think of appointing me to represent the firm at Black wood tech Ventures.

Skylar muttered as she kept recalling Mr. Roberts words, one could barely tell that she was a bit nervous, but beneath the nervousness there was a flicker of excitement because this was the first time in her company that she was given the opportunity to meet bigger companies like Austin's Global. Maybe this was an opportunity to improve herself.

Skylar is just a twenty-four year fresh graduate from college, who is still exploring her identity. She is a reserved and talented marketing specialist.

Skylar leaned against the railing of her small apartment balcony, clutching a steaming cup of coffee as she pictured herself on a long table surrounded by prominent executives.

Not too long Skylar immersed herself in research, scrutinizing market trends, competitor's analysis and perfecting her presentation. The meeting was in two days.

As dusk approached, Skylar took a break, clearing her mind as she visualized success and affirming her confidence once again.

It was the last day for preparations, Skylar dedicated the morning to rehearsals, she refined slides, ensuring clarity and perfection.

Skylar's heels clicked against the marble floor of the gigantic skyscraper as she had a firm grip of the portfolio in her hand.

She adjusted her pink blazer then tucking a tray of braids behind her ear as she stepped into the elevator. The door opened with a soft chime on the top floor. The pressure to make a good impression weighed heavily on her. Taking a deep breath, she straightened her shoulder as she took a glance at herself in the mirror in front of the elevator.

The receptionist waved her toward the first entrance to the right.

She approached a glass conference room, and seated at the edge of the table was a tall, sharp-jawed, and dressed in a well tailored black suit that probably cost more than her entire wardrobe, she didn't need a conviction to believe that this was Mr. Austin Blackwood, his assistant gave a nod and opened the door.

She took a seat at the long conference table, trying to steady her hands. She took a deep breath, calming her nerves. No time for self-doubt. You've earned this, she reminded herself.

Mr. Blackwood sank into the plush chair,

You're Miss......

It's Miss Skylar Martins sir.

"Miss Martins he said.

'I've heard good things about your agency.

"I hope you know why your here."

" Thank you, Mr. Austin.

Skylar hesitated "I assumed it was to discuss the proposal.

'I've prepared a proposal, 'she said as she handed over the proposal to him.... Mr. Austin interrupted"

I already know your agency is capable. A hint of amusement flickered on his lips "But there's another factor at play here."

Skylar frowned, uncertain where this was going. "What do you mean? "I don't just hire people based on their company's reputation. I hire people I can trust".

"I need someone who can handle this project with discretion and dedication- someone I can trust implicitly".

"Your company is small, but you've handled some impressive accounts. What makes you think you're ready to take on something that is big, It's a global brand."

"I know the scale of your project, Mr. Austin And I'm confident we can handle it. We may not be the biggest firm, but we deliver results."

"How can your agency help to grow our company Mr. Rolland a board member of Austin global asked."

"Thank you for considering our advertising agency fit to conduct the awareness campaign and we promise to boost your company's growth if it turns out to be a long-term contract. Our expertise spans strategy, creativity and technology to drive impactful results. Here's how we can assist:

Market Research, Brand Positioning, Marketing Strategy

Miss martins presented boldly as Mr. Blackwood listened intently with his penetrating stare scrutinizing every detail.

Finally, Austin spoke. "I appreciate the confidence, Miss martins. He shook her hand sealing the agreement and the board applauded in approval.

A representative from Rele Agency was given the audience to present her proposal.

At the end of the presentation Harthood advertising Agency, represented by Miss Skylar Martins won the contract and our company is happy to partner with your agency. Said Mr. Blackwood

To celebrate the partnership, we go over to the banquet to have our launch.

Skylar's attention was drawn to Austin's charisma and intellect. As the celebration lasted, Austin's assistant, Rachel, discreetly approached Skylar.

"The CEO invites you to join him in his private apartment. He'd like to discuss further business strategies and get to know you better." She handed Skylar a sleek, black invitation card with Austin's address: The Blackwood Tower, 100 Fifth Avenue, Penthouse Suite.

Shall He send a car for you, Miss martins, 8 p.m. tomorrow?"

Skylar nodded, her mind racing with anticipation.

She accepted the invitation, after a brief pause for consideration.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband's Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn't find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn't even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father's legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn's party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara's health and managing every detail of Caden's empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I'd drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause-if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I'd forgotten.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda
4.6

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.
