When her friends convince her to go to a party to forget her worries, she ends up sharing a steamy kiss with CEO Jonathan Taley. Except Lacey doesn’t find out his identity until two years later, and their re-meeting is not exactly rosy.

“Is it okay if I come over now?”“Sure.”After receiving Jonathan’s confirmation, Steven made a sound to show that he heard his brother, then got into his car. In the front passenger seat, a potted plant and a box of wine and chocolates sat, serving as housewarming gifts. There was also a small bag with a change of clothes since he planned to stay the night at Jonathan’s new home.As he set out, the light blue sky gave way to a darker sky and as the clouds became more visible.

Jonathan had nothing he wanted to say to Adam Rashidi at that moment, so he swiped to reject the call, then placed his phone on airplane mode.After that, Jonathan entered the department store to purchase a new shower unit, before went over to his parents and personally fixing it himself, under his mother’s scrutinizing gaze, of course. He didn’t stay for dinner like his mother hoped to, but returned to the office, where he ran into Thomas Wright.“Mr. Taley, I was told you’d left for the day.”As Jonathan didn’t stop walking, Thomas fell into step beside him. It wasn’t until Thomas was still with him when he got out of the elevator that Jonathan figured the other man wanted something from him. They hadn’t talked si

Lacey followed behind Maddy in her own car until her best friend got home, then she made a detour and drove back to her apartment.“... it makes me want to push back just to see how much it’ll take for him to snap.”Saying those words aloud had been a personal confession to herself. She’d been wondering why Piano Man made her feel hot and cold simultaneously. It was because of that. What did it say about her that the first man she’d felt any attraction to in a while turned out to be someone who didn’t seem to like her?Laughing, Lacey thought of how things just could never be straightforward with her. Piano Man… The next time&

Lacey was heading home when Maddy’s call came in. Seeing her call, Lacey smiled, immediately ready to give Maddy a rundown of the whole happening with Piano Man, but when her greeting was met with her sobbing best friend, Lacey was instantly on alert.“I’m coming.” No questions asked. If Maddy needed Lacey at that moment, then nothing except an emergency could keep Lacey from going. “Mads, you’re at home, right?”“No,” Sob, “School.”By six in the evening was a time Lacey knew Maddy was usually home by, unless she had another errand to run. It was weird that she was still at the school, but maybe something had happened there

The next day, when Maddy got to the school, Maria’s signed consent form was sitting at her desk. It was at the same time it clicked that she had forgotten to call Maria’s guardian back the day before. So as not to forget, Maddy made a reminder on her phone. Maddy’s classes that day turned out to be not as active as she would have liked them to be, and for the most part, it was her fault. Her thoughts were preoccupied with seeing that man again. Maddy blamed herself for the confidence that she would never see him again. Coward. Sure, she was a coward. A coward who was going to protect her daughter, a coward who doesn’t want another party to come into their lives and disrupt it. He’s not just another party. He’s Lea’s father. “Miss Meadows?”Like her eyes just cleared up, Maddy saw two students standing in front of her. Their faces were full of worry. “Are you okay, Miss Meadows? The closing bell has already rung.”A quick glance at the classroom showed that half of the class had alr

“For the upcoming year, we’re looking more on how to make a bigger impact in the foreign market.”Jonathan’s attention was on the powerpoint drive that was playing on the projector in the conference room. It was September ending, which meant the last quarter of the year was approaching. Soon it would be the new year, and this was a pre meeting before the board meeting happening next month. “ABE Ent. are also planning to do the same.” Hearing one of the managers say this, Jonathan leaned back in his chair. ABE Movies was JT’s Entertainment’s biggest rival, but more than that, the CEO of ABE Ent., Adam Rashidi, had a personal grievance with Jonathan right from when they were in high school.Jonathan had been the quiet kid in school, not because he was shy, but because his goal had been this: To be the best. As the son of immigrants, Jonathan didn’t have to be told that he needed to work harder than all the other kids. So, at school, he’d always placed first in all his classes. What m

The blue envelope stared at Lacey from the table in her room. After returning home last night, she’d found it in her mailbox and left it untouched since then. Although Lacey was yet to open it, it was clear by the floral design of the envelope that this was an invitation of some sorts…Most likely a wedding invitation. Speaking of weddings, after the day Adi revealed to Lacey that he found out her ex-husband, Thomas, was engaged to the woman he left her for, Eliza, Lacey hadn’t spared it another thought. Until now.Seeing the envelope, Lacey could only wonder whether Thomas sent her an invitation. If that was the case, then he was crazy if he thought she was going to attend. Those few seconds thinking about Thomas filled Lacey with annoyance, causing her to remember what happened yesterday at the deli. Meeting Piano Man and him being one of her client’s brothers had definitely not been on her bingo card for the year. Also, he didn’t remember. Lacey had tried to see if there was any

“Great job, everyone. Let’s work even harder during the official launch.”After the last of his staff left, Liam stuck around to do a quick closing checklist. The lights, the sink, the restrooms, he checked to make sure everything was in order before leaving. After locking up, he scanned his environment, then took out his phone where he was at the entrance of his restaurant. Upon his request, the guests today had filled out a feedback form, so Liam took his time going through every single one of them, noting the areas they found good and those they found lacking. Back in Italy, owning a restaurant had been one of his dreams, but now that he’d made that dream a reality, Liam wasn’t exactly sure how to feel. With a degree from a renowned culinary school and his work experience at a couple world-class restaurants, Liam had sufficient expertise under his belt. Still, he felt something was lacking. A few of the guests had already made posts about his restaurant and tagged him. Liam drop

“Adi, this time, give me some free poses that scream natural. You want to sell that these clothes are classy and comfortable.” Snapping sounds filled the air as a photographer called out instructions to Adi. Even when a hairstylist ran forward to slightly fix Adi’s hair, the shutter of the camera didn’t let up. An eternity later, the shoot was over, allowing Adi to breathe a satisfied sigh. He’d been there since the early hours of the morning, and now, the sun had gone home. “Adi?”As he came out of the changing room, Adi found Grace crouching in a squat. He still had makeup on and the hair was untouched; the only thing that had changed was that he was now in his regular clothes. “Yeah?” Grace was Adi’s friend who was also a model, but for that day, she was Adi’s escort and moral support. “There’s an event happening this evening. A restaurant soft launch. You interested?”The shoot had taken most of the day, but Adi already expected that. It was for a luxury men clothing brand tha

CHAPTER ONE
“I’m divorcing you, Lacey.”Cloud 9. Since the day she said ‘I do’ to Thomas, Lacey Thalmes had been on cloud 9. And she never wanted to leave. Today made it six months since she got married, and to some people, that might not seem like much, but to Lacey, it signified a lot of things. First, it was longer than her parents’ marriage, which had lasted four weeks. It had been an elopement that ended with her dad running off after finding out her mum was pregnant. Second, it gave Lacey a chance to bite back at all the people who called her crazy for getting married so young. She’d found out later that some of her classmates made a bet that the marriage wasn’t going to last up to a year. Lacey couldn’t wait to prove them wrong. Crazy was jumping off a helicopter, trusting that a parachute was going to make you land safely on the ground; crazy was going swimming with sharks. As for love, that wasn’t crazy, but if it turned out that it was, Lacey was glad she had that gift. “Sometimes it
