The room was dark enough enjoy the nice candle light from candle settings in the middle of the …

My wife had left the night before for a “girl’s weekend” out of town and she wouldn’t be back until later in the day on Sunday.I woke up on Saturday morning and made my coffee …

Over the years I’ve worked really hard to get to the top, sacrificing everything to become what I am today, but it’s paid off. I’m one of only three female vice-presidents in our company, and I’m making a ton of money. Unfortunately, that’s all I have to show for my hard work. Money, and the by-products of money. Nothing else. …

The buzz of conversation coming through the open doorway ahead told her she was in the right place. The hotel was new to her but the receptionist had phoned through and invited her to a party for guests that evening. ‘It’s at 6.30 in the courtyard and you’re welcome to come,’ she had said. Great!She had flown in to …
