My heart is hammering in my chest as I think about those heated moments with Noah a while ago.I was still in shock, and I felt stupid at the same time; the way my body reacts to Noah is alarming, and I hated it.I try to shake off the feelings, but I can't. I feel like I'm in a daze, like I'm walking around in a dream.He was using me, and even though I was letting him, it made me feel stupid.He made it clear he doesn’t want me, and just when things are getting cool with Asher, he steps in and acts like he owns me. As I turn a corner, I bump into Asher. He's standing by his locker, with his eyes narrowed at me."Hey!Is everything okay?" he asks, eyeing me carefully.I nod, trying to play it cool as I bite my bottom lip, trying so hard to fight back the tears that threatened to spill. "Yeah, everything's fine."But Asher doesn't look convinced. "You sure? You look a little...off."Of

Chapter: Chp-17Lily’s POV I walk into the cafeteria with Anna, scanning the room for our usual spot. We're about to sit down when Asher steps up with a smile that never makes my heart skip a beat. "Hey, Lily, you're going to sit with us today," he says, taking the tray of food from me. I raise an eyebrow, taken aback. "Uh, I don't know, Asher. Anna and I were just about to—"He didn’t let me finish, “Sorry Anna, I will be stealing her away for today; I hope you don’t mind,” he asked. I shared a knowing look with Anna hoping she’d say no, but she only wiggled her brows at me with a mischievous smile dancing on her lips. “Of course you can; that won’t be a problem,” she responds. “Asher, but—“He beats me to it: “No buts; your friend already said yes, and if she doesn’t have a problem, you shouldn’t either. Please just come with me.” I try to protest, but Asher takes my arm and guides me toward the table where the rest of the guys are sitting. Noah, Liam, and Damien are all present.

Chapter: Chp-16.Lily’s POV I was in my room alone a while ago when Maya stepped in and asked me to help her with her homework. We're working on a math problem, and Maya is struggling to understand it. I'm trying to explain it to her in a way that makes sense. I can see that hating math runs in the family blood because it is the same subject Noah has a problem with, but he is getting the hang of it now. I guess. Just as Maya is starting to get it, Noah walks into the room. "Hey, Maya, can I talk to Lily for a minute?" he asks. Maya looks up at me. Her brows furrowed in confusion because she was aware that Noah and I don’t get along so well; she looked a bit confused. But I nod. "It's okay, Maya. I'll be right back." But before Maya can get up, Noah says, "No, Maya, I mean you should excuse us and go to your room, he asks impatiently.Whatever it was he wanted to discuss could wait; right now I was helping Maya, and I didn’t want to be interrupted, or should I say, I wanted to use her as

Chapter: Chp-15.Lily’s POVIt's been a week since that heated session with Noah. I still get tingling at the thought of it; I didn’t miss any chance I got to avoid Noah.And I could say I was doing a very good job. On the other hand, Asher and I were building a mutual understanding kind of relationship even though I asked him to take things slow, but so far I like him.I won’t say love, but like rather, he was better than Noah.Nicer, you mean... my instinct protests.Yeah! Whatever.I'm in the kitchen with Aunt Jess, making breakfast. She's scrambling eggs while I'm toasting bread.Aunt Jess turns to me and asks, "So Lily, how's school going? How has Seattle been treating you?" "It's going okay, Aunt Jess," I reply, trying to sound casual as though I wasn’t reminiscing about my heated moment with her son.Gosh! Aunt Jess smiles and says, "That's great, sweetie. I'm glad to hear that. Just then, Noah walks into the kitchen, shirtless and wearing only sweatpants. I feel my face heat up as I try

Chapter: Chp-14 Lily’s POVI stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my outfit for what felt like the hundredth time. I was wearing a pair of dark-wash jeans, a white shirt, and a black jacket.I didn’t want to overdress; I just wanted to wear something casual and comfortable, and this was what I could find. This is a friendly date, nothing more. looked good, I checked my phone for what felt like the hundredth time, waiting for Asher's call. The only reason I agreed to this date is because I wanted to provoke Noah. I wanted him to know that he didn’t have a say in my life. My thoughts come short when the door bursts open, revealing a tempered scowl on his face. "What is it, Noah?" I asked, trying to sound casual. "You're not going anywhere," Noah said, his voice firm.I raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of annoyance. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "You're not going on a date with Asher," Noah said, his eyes flashing with anger. I laughed at his audacity. "You have no ri

Chapter: 34. I miss herRachel’s POVI stared at Aria, who stared blankly at her plate of pancakes that I had woken up early to make for her.It had been three days since Darius left for his business trip, and it was clear that Aria was missing him because she never failed to ask for her daddy and was always on FaceTime with him whenever he was free.Today was the weekend, and I was trying to get her to eat something, but she wasn't budging."Aria, sweetie, please eat something," I said, trying to sound gentle and persuasive. "You need to take something."Aria looked up at me, sending me a glare that caught me off guard. "I don't want to eat anything," she said, her voice firm. "And you can't make me. So please just go away.I let out a frustrating sigh; I didn’t know how long I could keep my cool, but she was a handful, and it was clear that she didn't want me around. "Aria, please," I said. "Just try a little bit of toast or something. You can’t stay hungry, please."Aria crossed her arms, her face set in

Chapter: 33. You’re Going To Get Yourself Killed.Rachel’s POVI quickly wiped off the tears that were streaming down my face, trying to compose myself. Jasmine noticed my sudden change in expression and turned towards the door, her eyes widening."Excuse me," Jasmine said, getting up from her seat. "I need to go finish up some work."Goddammit!Seriously!?Of all times for Darius to come here, he chose now. I hated being stuck in a vulnerable situation and definitely didn't like the fact that Darius was seeing me in this situation.As soon as Jasmine left, Darius walked over to me, his eyes fixed on my face. "What happened to your face?" he asked, his voice low and furious. "Who slapped you?"I didn't want to respond to him. I didn't want to get into a conversation about Andrew and what he had done. He didn’t need to know that I was being forced to leave him.And that his arsehole nephew has been on my neck and wouldn’t let me be. My love for Andrew has been far diluted; now I want nothing but to see him kneel and beg for my mercy.

Chapter: 32. Making Him PayRachel’s POVI stood there, frozen in shock and hurt, as Andrew's handprint stung my cheek. I couldn't believe he had slapped me. Who did he think he was?"How dare you!" I shouted, my voice trembling with anger. "How dare you slap me! Who do you think you are? Are you fucking out of your mind? Tears filled my eyes, the pain piercing my cheeks. I had let him slap me the other day without retaliating or saying a word; it didn’t give him the damn right to do that again.No one has ever raised his hands on me, not even my parents, and he dared to do that again?Andrew shrugged with no sign of remorse, his eyes cold and hard. "I'm the one who's going to make sure you leave, Uncle," he said, his voice firm and commanding. "It's final, Rachel. It's not a request; it's an order. And you know what happens when you dare go against me: I will make your life as miserable as it already is. I have already given you a chance and time to think my offer through, but once again you didn’t fail to pr

Chapter: 31. Never were and Never will be.Rachel’s POVDarius dropped me down, helping me fix back my panties with no words exchanged, just eye contact, which I tried to avoid.He buckled his pants, narrowing his stare at me. He chuckled, leaning in, “You look cute,” and placed a peck on my lips.I gulped a lump, batting my eyelashes. “Darius… I—“ I couldn’t even form a coherent sentence, feeling conflicted all of a sudden.He breathes out, cupping my cheeks, “What is it?” A lone tear slipped from my eyes, to which he was quick to wipe it off. “We… we can’t keep doing this; it’s not part of the contract, and I—“He sealed our lips, nibbling on my bottom lip as he sought entrance, and I let him.I moan into his mouth and press my body against his, feeling my legs starting to get weak.We kissed for as long as we could before we broke apart. My eyes instantly shut off as our foreheads meet. I could feel his mint breath fanning my face and his steel-grey eyes staring at me.“Fuck, baby, if we stay here for a minute longer, I d

Chapter: 30. No pill, No protection.Rachel’s POV I stood in the conference room, presenting to a room full of colleagues and clients. I could feel Darius' eyes on me, but I refused to look at him.I kept my focus on the presentation, trying to ignore the lump I felt clinging to my throat. Yesterday night, I could swear I saw a glint of disappointment and hurt in his eyes when I admitted that what we shared was a mistake.But Darius was good at masking his emotions, so I wasn’t sure.He said it himself, what we have is only contracted and we stick to that, in the eyes of the people we may be man and wife but behind closed doors, we’re acquaintances.As I finished my presentation, I took a seat next to Darius as it was the only seat available.God!I have been doing so well with avoiding him since the incident I didn’t expect him to confront me about it, but yet again he has surprised me.I could feel his presence beside me, but I didn't look at him. I kept my eyes on the papers in front of me, trying to calm my racing

Chapter: 29. No Strings AttachedDarius’s POVIt’s been three fucking days, but the only thought in my head is Rachel. I couldn’t get her out of my head. Her smell, her touch, her voice—everything about her haunted me.I wanted her, all of her. I tried to focus on my work, but even that was impossible. I found myself thinking about her during meetings, while reading reports, and even while talking to clients. I couldn't concentrate on anything except the memory of being inside of her.I hissed in frustration, hitting on the steering wheel. Huffing out a breath, I assembled my things out of the car and stepped out, walking to the entrance of the house.I was upset that Rachel left the office today again.She’s been avoiding me. Even at work, she picks up every reason to leave my environment. She wouldn’t even look at me. She had left the office before me, just like she had been doing for the past few days. She didn't want to drive home with me, and that annoyed me.Frustration was eating me up. I want us to talk abo
