37 Days Overthinking
POVXWhen I’m done with my stressful calls, I’m exhausted from the day. I walk out of my office and see my bedroom door is creaked open with the lights on. I knock lightly on the door but no response, I peek in and she’s sleeping beautifully in my bed.The TV is on, and so are the lights, I start turning the lights off, and… what the fuck was she watching? Ah god, don’t tell me this girl likes these kinds of shows I think to myself and shake my head.I take the remote out of her soft hand and she shifts her body when I do so. She looks like a fucking angel sleeping so peacefully. I turn off the bullshit show she was watching and walk out of my room closing the door behind me and go to the couch to relax.After about ten minutes of relaxing, there’s a knock at my front door and I roll my eyes at whoever it is. I grunt and open the door to see Adria standing there with her arms crossed around her chest“What Adria?” I ask annoyed.She lets herself in and asks, “So? What happened in Mad

POVXI’m fully clothed now and in my office, Millie left ten minutes ago.I wanted this girl so fucking bad today but I ruined it by moving too fast. We did even fuck and it was the most sexually enticing experience I’ve had, which is saying a lot because I’ve had many threesomes, foursomes, and more.Millie has taken my desire to a whole new level. I should’ve known better that she’s not like these other girls who just give it up in a second, she’s a girl who needs time.I need to somehow deal with Adria too, Millie isn’t going to want to continue anything with me if she’s always overthinking everything.I get her fear of Adria, she’s a powerful woman and even most men don’t want to fuck with her. I need to stop obsessing over this and get started on work already.I open up my laptop and see an e-mail from Ray, my private investigator, and open it before even looking at any of the other emails that are probably more important. I asked Ray last week to give me a report on Chase. I wa

POVMillieI make it to Steph’s office only getting lost twice.The third-floor hallway is gorgeous, with beautiful light fixtures throughout the halls with cool beige walls, and all the doors, which belong to some of the big shots here are just as nice as X’s, all black with gold touches.Steph’s office is towards the end of the east hallway with a gold metal plaque on the side of the door that reads 321 Stephanie Taylor.A few other doors are reading other people's names too. I knock on the door and hear her say come in. When I walk in she’s sitting behind a mahogany desk with a comfortable-looking white chair behind it. The walls are a light slate blue and with beautiful landscape photos of sceneries from other countries.On her desk sits a laptop, phone, notebooks, pens, and small green plants, it’s so cute in here. She stands up and hugs me.“Give me one sec Mills, I’ll get you a chair,” Steph says leaving me for a minute and coming back with a folded white plastic chair.“Thanks

POVXJulian just left and I’m finishing off my phone call with Hugo’s partner. This deal with Colombia is kicking my ass lately and I just feel like giving up and saying fuck you to them but I can’t, we’re so close and after all this work it’d be a waste to give up now.I exhale loudly and rub the back of my neck. I heard Millie walking around the house a few minutes ago and I’m feeling uneasy about tonight because I want to talk to her about her mom. She’s probably going to be pissed that I looked into her past but there will be a lot of things that will bother her about me that are much more serious than this.I stand up from my black leather chair, push it in, and check to see if she’s in my bedroom.She’s sitting on the bed in all-black tight clothing, cross-legged, and doing something on her phone.“You wanna go now?” I ask her and she turns to me startled.“Oh hey, yeah,” she says and hops off the bed grabbing a thin zip-up hoodie from off her lap.We walk into the kitchen and

POVMillieI’m completely frozen, I can’t even turn around to look at him, everything has become deafening, if an explosion just went off right in front of me, I don’t think my body would even respond.June 22nd was the day my life forever changed.I somehow turn my body around back to the ocean after a minute, I don’t even pay attention that X is still here, a million thoughts are flooding my mind.“You still call her?” he asks and I look down at him with his back to me as he's looking out into the distance.“I never shut her phone off,” I say quietly enough that I don’t even know if he heard me.“Who told you?” I ask him at the same volume as my last statement.He pats the sand beside him indicating for me to sit back down and I slowly walk back over and do so.I’m still in a stunned state when I sit down and he puts his hand over mine in a comforting way.“How’d she die?” he asks and those words slice through me like a knife.“Me” I respond in the most monotone, staring into space
Last Updated : 2024-02-2237 Days What am I supposed to do?
POV X I’m feeling beyond stupid for bringing up the situation with Millie’s mom the way I did. When I brought it up to her, I wasn’t in the least bit expecting how serious of a situation it was. During the time I got the report on Millie, I saw that her dad was deceased, which I already knew about, but I didn’t know it was only about 2-3 months ago. The report only said deceased, it didn’t say how he died, but she told me it was heroin. When I read that her mother was deceased too, I was floored, she died about three years ago, and of course no details or description of the circumstances relating to her death. I was thrown off seeing that, because the first moment I laid eyes on Millie, she was talking to her mom, which I now know she kept her mom's phone activated to call her and leave her messages. I feel like a total jackass because I insulted her about her relationship with her mom, not knowing the situation. It takes a lot for me to feel bad about something and I feel l

POV Millie I’m under the covers letting the salty tears stream down my face when there’s a light knock on the door and it opens. “Mills? It’s Steph.” Thank god. I remove the comforter away from the mess of a face I’m rocking right now and see Steph standing there. “Steph? What are you doing here?” I ask through a sob. “X called me,” she says quietly. I lay flat on the bed and looked to the ceiling “I’m mortified Steph.” I say. She walks over to the bed and sits down “Oh Mills, don’t be, he caught you completely off guard and he feels horrible.” she says gently running her fingers through my hair. She lays beside me and says “Come here” We lay together and both just cry. “I wish you could just forgive yourself, Millie, your mom would never want this for you,” Steph says through tears. “I know Steph, I just can’t help it,” I say wiping tears off my ears that gravity has filled them with. Steph holds my hand “One day at a time baby girl, one day at a time.” I’

POV X Today is a big day, all the members of my group are having a meeting today and we’ll be including Marco and Hugo over the phone. I slept like shit last night, I didn’t go to sleep until 3 am. When I left the penthouse last night I went over to Julian’s, we drank and smoked and he knew something was up with me but I only briefly told him what happened, I don’t want the whole world to know about Millie’s struggles. When I got back to the penthouse around 2:30, all the lights were still on and I thought maybe Millie was still awake, but when I went to my bedroom she was fast asleep and Stephanie was gone. I went over to Millie and said “I’m so sorry baby” even though I knew she couldn’t register any of it. I fell asleep a half hour later, tossing and turning all night long. When I got out of the shower, I got dressed and walked to the kitchen seeing Millie sitting at the island eating a granola bar. I walked over to her and took a bite out of it while she was holding it in

37 Days Epilogue
POV Millie 6 months later “Ow!” I screech out. “Well if you’d just hold still!” X says looking up at me. “Are you sure you’ve tattooed someone before and I’m not the first?” I ask starting to regret my decision. He keeps his gaze on me and shakes his head in disbelief, “I’ve done this before baby, I’ve tattooed Julian plenty of times.”“Seriously? Julian? That’s not making me feel any better,” I say shaking my head back at him. He laughs, “I’m hurt you don’t trust me.” “Oh, whatever,” I roll my eyes at him and he gets back to work on my arm. The past six months have been quite life-changing but also in a good way. Julian proposed to Steph last month. I swear I question his mindset sometimes. He pulled another psychopath role-play scenario scaring her to death. “Marry me or I’ll kill you” I mean c’mon Julian…she’s been traumatized after walking in on me drenched in blood that day. My mind goes back to that day. It was a beautiful disaster. Stone worked overtime cleaning the
37 Days Eye for an eye
POVMillie & X XAs soon as the words fall from Stephanie’s mouth that Millie is in trouble I book it out of the door. I practically fly down the stairs, holding onto the railing for support but jumping four stairs at a time. Time is of the essence, every second that passes is a second closer to Millie’s death. I don’t know Dani’s motive here but I can only assume the worst. I’m finally on the third level of the house, sprinting through the hall. I hear Stephanie and Julian behind me, gasping for air as they try to keep up for Millie’s sake. A thunderous bang fills my ears and my heart plummets immediately. A gunshot. I want to fall to my fucking knees and die. “No!” Stephanie cries out but continues running behind. “309! It’s 309!” Stephanie sobs breathlessly. 312, 311, 310, 309! I instantaneously slide my master keycard in the door. “Fuck, hurry up!” I scream out kicking the door. Fucks sake an eternity later the green light appears. I hastily open the door barging thro
37 Days The truth be told
POVMillie I tell Steph I need some pain relievers for an oncoming headache but really, my nervousness has gotten the better of me. In the past two weeks, X has been a madman in his office for more hours than not. I’m not entirely sure what is going on or if it’s just investigating the incident from two weeks prior. Sure, I told him I thought it was Dani that one day but I chose not to press the issue after, for now at least. I roam the hall for a few minutes, something in my gut is feeling…off? I feel the presence of someone behind me, I go to turn around but I’m pushed against the wall, hard. “Don’t. say. A. Word” a husky voice from behind me demands. Fear strikes me within. Could this be X role-playing the way Julian and Steph did? Something tells me no though. I know X’s touch, his scent, his body and this is not it, it’s not him. The fear creeps over every inch of my body and into terror. I’m forced to move my legs to a black door and I’m slammed against it facing forward

POVX“Ah, what the fuck man,” Julian complains as I hit yet another solid ball into the pocket. I smirk his way taking all the glory as I’m currently kicking his ass in pool. “Gimme the lighter,” I say with my hand open towards his way. He hands me the red Bic lighter. I spark it up and light up my joint, take a hard hit, and hand the joint to Julian. “Good shit,” I say and then blow the smoke out in his face. “Fuck you, bro,” he says as it goes straight into his eyes. Oops. “Shoot your shot already,” I badger him.I sit on the crocodile brown leather bar stool and lean forward to watch him miss the shot. “Calm your tits,” he says concentrating on the yellow-striped ball. “Fuck yeah!” He yells out, dammit he got it. My phone vibrates in my pocket and I lean myself backward to reach inside the pocket of my black jeans to retrieve it. My spine stiffen from the text from an unknown number. +34 85601-1337You fucked up X. Now you’re going to pay. Blood will be shed Who the
37 Days Taking my advice
POV Stephanie I bring my computer to life, type in my password, and open up the browser to search for morning flights. “Do you think everything is okay?” Millie asks me laced with suspicion. “Yeah mills, don’t worry this isn’t unusual,” I remark calmly. “Okay,” she balls her hands into a fist on her lap. She notably looks uncomfortable as I go to work and it’s distracting me. “I think I’m getting a bit of a headache, do you mind if I grab some ibuprofen from your room?” She asks rubbing her head. “Oh yeah for sure,” I say handing her my keycard and she gets up stepping out of the office. Okay, now I can actually concentrate. I click on various flights, Julian didn’t say anything about a return flight so I choose a one-way ticket until advised otherwise. I book them their usual hotel rooms for three nights, once again, I can adjust it at any time. I text Julian that they have a flight booked for 9:30 tomorrow morning. I close my computer down, turn off my office light, and
37 Days Pressured to play
POV Millie It’s been an extremely interesting last couple of days. I sit on X’s lap wrapped in a light blanket on the balcony while we watch Julian and Slim risk their lives lighting off fireworks, the real Fourth of July. Although I hold my breath every time they bring a flame to the firecracker, the beauty of the lights over the ocean almost makes it worth one of them losing an arm. I snuggle into X’s hard warm body, wishing to be cocooned into him forever. I’m a lot more at peace now, X sat me down and explained his talk with Dani which I appreciate him doing. She’s still on my shit list though and I promise she’ll pay. …It’s Friday evening and It’s been two weeks since the Fourth of July. I’m physically and mentally in a better place but I of course still have my moments. X and I have been in a much better place as well since our brawl that one night. “Oh my gosh, you guys! We need to discuss chapter 23!” Mia says fanning her face. Oh yeah, somehow in the past two week
37 Days Flick you
POVXI pull Dani outside of the door and close it behind me. I run my fingers through my hair in frustration towards Millie. I don’t know what that shit was but this is obviously not working out right now. “Dani, look,” I start off as she looks up at me expectantly. “Millie is not okay right now and I apologize,” I say trying to be nice. “Look, X, it’s fine. She’s hurting right now and she needs someone to blame, it’s okay, I understand it and I’m not taking it personally,” she says being mature about the whole situation. “Thank you, but like I said, she’s not okay. Something about you is triggering her. She may be out of line right now but she is my main priority. I’m not firing you but I need you to stay away from me. As for work goes, I need you to go to Julian for everything. As for a friend, I like you as a person I really do but I need you to not text me anymore or come here unannounced or at all for that matter. Millie is my main focus and I need to respect her feelings,
37 Days The villain I’ll be
POVMillie I’m awoken by a knock at X’s door. X is still sleeping, miles away from me may I add. He was incredibly sweet to take care of me, holding me in the shower, dressing me, and sleeping next to me when I knew he didn’t really want to do any of it but he still did. For me. “X” I gently shake him awake. “What?” He grumbles out. “Someone is at the door,” I say. “Ugh!” He grunts, “stay here I’ll be right back.”He yawns and sleepily sits on the edge of the bed running his fingers through his hair and walks out of the bedroom. I rub my eyes and grab my phone from the nightstand, five o’clock?! My god that’s the longest I’ve slept in days, I really needed that. I have a text from Steph How are you feeling? Let me know if I can bring anything up for you. Do you need a spicy novel? Also, how’d the conversation with X go? That was two hours ago. Hey! Sorry I fell asleep. I’m feeling fine. We haven’t talked yet because we fell asleep. I might need some new yoga pants in a bit
37 Days Working overtime
POVXI’m on my tenth set of pull-ups, sweat glistening my entire body. My hair is drenched and pissing me off as it falls to my eyebrows, constantly needing to be pushed back. I’m trying to channel my rage without alcohol and working out is the only way I know how. I’ve been in my gym for two hours now, Julian joined for forty five minutes and then dipped like a weakling. I’m on my sixth rep when my phone vibrates and lights up with a notification. I finish my pull-ups, wipe myself off with a towel, gulp down some water and check my phone. Millie. I can’t do this right now. I do fifty push ups before I decide to text Millie back so I don’t lose my shit on her. She wants to talk tomorrow, I just don’t think I have it in me to face her yet. I don’t respond to her requests because it’s something I need to sleep on. We’ll see how I feel about it later. I do a few sets of Russian twists before I decide to end my workout for the night. I leave the gym dripping sweating, patting mys
