Chapter: Chapter 011 Explicit content
Chapter 11Explicit content POV (GABBIE)The dressing room was an entire costume hub. Worse than the strip club, the outfits in here was made for whores.None of it looked like something I could put on and feel safe in my skin. Cowboy, nurse, doctor, kitten, furry, stripper's uniform and a lot that belonged elsewhere but I didn't let that scare me, it's a Job, nothing about it was meant to be comfortable."You must like roleplay?" I said, turning to face him to show him I was confident and wasn't feeling scared at the mere sight of these."Let's get to it shall we?" He retreated, walking back and sitting on the chair."So what kind of costume would you prefer?" I stared directly at him and he didn't disappoint."Kitten." Exactly what every typical man would choose, he's just like them.I turned my back on him and started to undress. I could feel his gaze on my skin as I peeled off every clothing, It was my shirt, then my skirt until I was left with my underwear.The sound of jazz st

Chapter: Chapter 010 A ROOM BUILT FOR DESIRES
CHAPTER 010A room built for desiresGABBIE"I'll take my leave then." I grabbed the file but he yanked it back from me, smirked and signed it.It worked, he definately cares about me but it's only because of my body, he will never love me."I'll pick you up after work, there's something I need to show you." He said, handing the file to me.I had to meet Floral that evening and pay for Dad's hospital bills, "can't it wait?" I paused, taking the file and reading his expression. "Till tomorrow." "No." He said firm, cold like he had made up his mind already. I really don't have control over him, I must've been too excited."I'm sure you know the time is ticking, unless you want to add a week to the 3 months." He stopped smiling and continued with what he was doing before I stepped in.He didn't even look up once, didn't even bat an eye when I got to the door."Close the door." He said and I slammed the door shut.------------------------------------------------"Are you really going to

Chapter: Chapter 010 feels like mine
Chapter 010Feels like mineGABBIEMy legs felt weaker heading back to the office, I couldn't wrap my head around what I'd just heard.She was right, but she had no idea of what I'd done. If she knew?His wife is pregnant and he doesn't know yet? That alone would make his love for her stronger, maybe then he'd find me useless. That should've assured me, but I didn't feel good one bit."I can't believe you at all..." The team leader shouted at me as soon as I stepped in but then paused for some reason."You didn't tell her anything weird did you? What did you talk about?" He asked rubbing his chin suspiciously like he was trying to figure something but I was too weak to make something up."She asked about our new project, and I told her you had it under control. Nothing deep," I lied then sat down in my corner burying my head inside the pile of shredded paper on my desk."How does she know your name? You're not even a designer," Margaret next to me whispered and I couldn't bring myself

Chapter: Chapter 009 Just a pawn
Chapter 009Just a pawn...GABBIEI sat in my personal drawer for minutes, long dragging minutes before I started to wipe off the makeup.My phone screen was still one, I was still reeling from the shock.10 million dollars disbursed into my account from the company's official account.I wanted to confirm it wasn't just a dream as I wiped the cleansing wipe aggressively up and down my face."Is something wrong?" I heard someone say behind me and I turned just to see Madison resting lazily on the door with her boobs out like she didn't give a damn in the world."How long have you been standing there?" I muttered turning my phone to face the table before picking up my bag from the desk and finishing for the day."You look... Drained." She studied me like a science project, her eyes glinting like she could see right through me. Amazing but I didn't expect this from her, we barely ever spoke to each other since we started working together."Nothing's wrong and Why do you care?" I said, sl

Chapter: Chapter 008 why do you care?
CHAPTER 008WHY DO YOU CARE?GABBIE The Red Room smelt anything but nice.It reeked like money, wine, cold, expensive, and messy. Like something that had been passed from hand to hand too many times and never cleaned.The door shut behind me with a sound that felt final.The hallway was dim, lit by low amber lights glowing behind the red curtains that led to the main room. Every step forward felt deliberate, like the floor itself was daring me to turn back. I didn’t. Turning back required courage I no longer had.Men stood in small clusters, their voices low, controlled. No laughter. No drunken chaos. These looked like men who lost control and could snap any moment.My mask itched against my skin. Sweat gathered at my spine, slipping slowly downward, unnoticed by anyone but me. I held my shoulders straight, chin lifted muscle memory from nights on the stage. Confidence as armor. Even when it was hollow.Eyes followed me, hungry, Assessing and someone came through the curtain, one of

Chapter 007Red Room---- Just for funGABBIE"I need to get this to the Vice president's office before the board meeting, any volunteers?""Me!" I stood up abruptly and everyone stared at me like I was some ghost, it didn't bother me, I had my mind set."You will?" The team leader asked and I nodded grabbing the file and rushing into the elevator as fast as I could.The elevator stopped at the first floor and my heartbeat drummed in my chest with every step I took.Getting to his door, it got harder but my confidence soared the moment I remembered that I didn't propose this, he did and I'm only accepting it.I opened the door without knocking catching him by surprise as he looked up with a raised eyebrow."Oh Good morning." I flung the document on his desk and sat on the chair next to him while facing him directly with a smug smile.It wasn't what I expected, he looked so different. Like the Alex Vaughn from last night was different from the man next to me now.An awkward silence stre

Chapter: Chapter 098 He's your father
CHAPTER 098He’s Your FatherFreya’s POVBibi was sitting on the floor with her crayons when I closed the door behind us, like I was afraid even the walls might overhear.She was drawing a house. A crooked one. Too many windows. A sun that leaned to one side like it was tired of shining.I sat beside her slowly, folding my legs the way she liked, close enough that our knees touched.“Bibi,” I said gently.She hummed, still coloring. “Mm?”“There’s something I want to talk to you about.”She paused, then nodded. “Okay.”I took a breath.Not the kind you take before a speech.The kind you take before stepping into cold water.“You know how families can look different?” I began. “Some kids live with one parent. Some with two. Some with grandparents. Some with people who choose them.”She glanced at me, curious. “Like Reene's parents? She has two moms.”“Yes.” I smiled softly. “Exactly like that.”She went back to her drawing. That helped.“And you know how sometimes,” I continued careful

Chapter: Chapter 097 Innocence
CHAPTER 098Innocence Alan’s POVI didn’t expect her to look at me like that.Not with fear, I could handle fear. Not even anger , anger can be reasoned with.But disappointment?That was something else entirely.She sat on the small wooden bench outside the counselor’s office, her legs swinging slowly, not touching the floor. A pink jacket folded neatly beside her. Her hair was braided differently than I remembered, tighter. Like someone had been trying to make her behave.She didn’t look up when I stopped in front of her.“Bibi,” I said gently. Nothing.Not even a flinch.Freya stood behind me, silent. I could feel her holding her breath like if she exhaled too hard, this would all shatter.I crouched down anyway, lowering myself to Bibi’s height. “It’s me,” I added softly. “Uncle Alan.”That did it. Her shoulders stiffened.She turned her head slowly, eyes sharp and shiny, nothing like a child who knew more than she should.I fought in the urge, to hug her. To live those moments I

Chapter: Chapter 096 if Sacrifices had names
CHAPTER 096If Sacrifices had names.Freya’s POVI didn’t let go of him immediately. If I did, the world might rush back in too fast, the cafe ding, the danger, Kaiden’s face still clinging to my spine. I stayed where I was, my face buried in Alan’s shoulder, breathing him in like proof that I hadn’t imagined him. He was Alive, Warm and Real enough as I needed him.His arms tightened slightly, protective without trapping me. He didn’t ask questions. He never did when I was breaking.“I thought you hated me,” I whispered, my voice muffled against his chest. He exhaled slowly. “I thought you were alive. That was enough.”That nearly broke me.I pulled back just enough to look at him. He looked thinner. Pale. Like someone who’d learned how to survive without rest. There was still a faint scar near his collarbone, the one from Russia. The one I never asked about since he came back because I was too busy running.Eliza stood quietly now, giving us space, watching like a woman who had alr

Chapter: Chapter 095
CHAPTER 095Not his child"so what happened is... I uhm..." He stammered, running his hands through his hair as if that would make it sound better."What happened?" I played along, like I was interested in his stupid dumb lie."I'm sorry." He fell short of words, his eyes fixed on mine."Sorry for what exactly? I need a list of the things you're sorry for." He looked surprised, like he wasn't expecting me to actually speak, act human or accuse him of his crimes."I need you to explain the accident, The one that almost killed Bibi and I." I clarified things, cleared the air but he pretended to be puzzled, like he didn't know a damn thing."What are you talking about? It's all fake, that Russian or Italian girl is lying to you and you need to understand that I'm the only one you can believe right now so..." He paused, realizing I had a smirk on."I know you're upset Frey but I need to protect you and our daughter from Alan.""Our daughter? Have you forgotten so soon? You mean Alan's dau

Chapter 094A lying monster.POV (FREYA)Peace never felt so far from me, I felt... Drained.My mind dragged over and through the mud as I tried to piece the dots together. Why was I so cruel? did I run from the one thing protecting me? Why did I fail to heal before jumping into a pit again?I bet the world didn't end when I left Bibi to the maid at home after getting her discharged.What else could go wrong? I had texted Eliza to meet me at a cafe but I've been sitting there for 4 hours straight while I ordered the same coffee over and over again."We're closing soon ma'am, I don't think you should wait any longer." The staff Informed me but that didn't stop me from waiting outside the cafe for two more hours before I started to head home in that cold night.But I stopped by a roadside bar for a quick glass and I left immediately as soon as I felt myself getting tipsy.I took the Last bus and spent a longer time before I finally reached home the drink slowly wearing off.The moment I

Chapter: Chapter 093
CHAPTER 093POV FREYAFreya’s POVThe hospital corridors were quieter now, but the silence didn’t comfort me. It felt like judgment, heavy, endless, and cold.The flashing lights from the police cars outside still burned behind my eyes. I could still hear the sound of the doors slamming, Alan’s faint smile as he was taken away traumatized me.That image wouldn’t leave me.Kaiden’s hand rested lightly on my shoulder as we walked toward the elevator. His touch used to calm me, but now it only made me tense.“You shouldn’t have run out like that,” he said softly, his voice perfectly measured, the same calm he always used when I was falling apart. “You’re not well enough to be on your feet.”I didn’t answer.“Freya,” he continued, guiding me inside the elevator, “listen to me. What Alan did... what he’s done. it’s not your fault. You did what you had to do.”I finally turned to face him, my voice barely a whisper. “He saved her, Kaiden.”His eyes narrowed slightly. “What?”“Bibi,” I said
