"W...what is this?" I stuttered, staring at the picture on her phone that she shoved in my face. I looked closer and realized it was a picture of me with another man.

I gasped, holding my hand to my mouth. "What is the meaning of this?" I asked, trying to steady my voice so I wouldn't feel intimidated by what she was showing me.

"Either you're dumb or too blind to see. I think I'll go with both," she sneered, dropping the phone from my face.

For a moment, I lost my sense of reality, unable to comprehend what I had just seen on her phone.

"No, that isn't me," I muttered, shaking my head in disbelief. "It can't be.”

Samantha crossed her arms, a smug look on her face. “Oh, it’s you, I wonder what Logan would think if he saw this.”

The woman in the photo looked exactly like me, but I knew it wasn’t me.

“This has to be some kind of trick,” I said, still shaking my head. “I don’t know who that is, but it’s not me.”

“Then who is this?” she demanded, stepping closer with each word.

    LoganI didn't know what came over me to want to kiss Nadine. I know we aren't there yet, but I miss how her lips fit so perfectly with mine. I miss the taste of her lips on mine.I thought she wanted it, too, because I could feel her heart pounding, and her nerves were all over the place. Her eyes showed she felt the same way. But when she refused, my heart sank, and I didn’t know how to react.She’s still here, but that doesn’t mean we can go back to how we were before Samantha came into the picture. Could she be pregnant? The thought didn’t sit well with me. Based on her explanation and the terms of the contract, she wants to be pregnant so she can have the baby and leave. I wasn’t sure if I imagined it, but I thought I heard her say something like, "I and the baby want you alive." Maybe I was hallucinating.I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off. I should be happy that she’s still here, but instead, I feel this growing unease. Samantha’s presence in the house

    NadineLogan wouldn’t let me explain, and I hated that he wouldn’t just listen. My heart ached when he said he had started feeling something for me. It made me miserable knowing he couldn’t see that I wasn’t the person in that damn picture.“Get out of here right this minute. I don’t want to see you anywhere near me. I don’t care where you go; you’re dead to me. And as for the contract, I don’t want to have anything to do with you,” he said, his anger pouring out in a rush.I wanted to scream, to make him understand, but the words caught in my throat. It was as if the ground beneath me had disappeared. Logan turned away, his expression cold and distant. “I don’t want to hear another word from you, Nadine. Just get out.”I stared at his back, “Logan, please—”“Get out!” he shouted, his voice so loud it made me flinch."You know what, Logan? Fuck you!" I shouted, my voice trembling with anger. "Fuck you real good for not letting me explain myself!"His face was a mix of shock and ang

    Don’t get me wrong; I’m glad she’s making the effort to call me, even though I haven’t been doing the same. I stare at the phone, wondering if I should pick it up.She’s stuck around for so long. She came to our office for training and stayed with me even after she went back to Canada.The phone suddenly stopped ringing, and I pulled my eyes away from it, trying to gather my thoughts. The phone started ringing again.I knew I had to answer because she wouldn’t stop calling until she heard from me. So, I swiped the phone and answered the call.“Nadine,” she breathed out in relief, “you got me so worried.”I could hear the concern in her voice, and it made me feel a bit better. But my voice choked with tears as I realized how she cared for me, even though I hadn't been there for her.“Nadine, are you alright?” she asked as tears started flowing down my cheeks. I didn’t want to say anything because I didn’t want her to know I’d been crying and make her even more worried.“Nadine?” she c

    When I got to my room, I placed my hand on my chest, feeling a rollercoaster of emotions just from seeing this stranger. It felt strange and wrong at the same time. Trying to shake off the feelings, I unpacked my bag. I noticed there were some beauty essentials and toiletries I needed, so I bought them earlier.I took them out and arranged them where they should be. I also bought a new SIM card so I could communicate more easily.Feeling hungry, I went back downstairs, relieved to see that the handsome stranger had left.“Syd,” I called out.“I’m here,” as I followed her voice to a room and knocked on the door.“Come in.”I walked in and was in awe of her luxurious bedroom.The room was stunning, with a large, plush bed draped in soft, expensive-looking linens. “Wow, you’re living a princess kind of life,” as I took it all in. “How come I haven’t met your parents?”“Oh, my parents,” they’re on vacation. They were once divorced, but then my dad realized he couldn’t live without my m

    I looked at her, stunned, wondering how she knew I was pregnant. I didn’t want her to see me as a burden because of it.She sensed my hesitation and moved closer, holding my hand. “Nadine, I’m not trying to push you to tell me. I just want you to be comfortable around me.”“Or have I given you any reason to?” I shook my head vigorously. “No, no, and then hugged her tightly, becoming emotional again. “Oh Sydney, you’re just too good to be true.”Sydney hugged me back gently. “I’m glad you feel that way. We’re friends, and I want you to know that you can trust me with anything.”I pulled back slightly, wiping away a tear. “It means so much to me to hear that. I’ve been so worried about how to handle everything.”“I’m here with you every step of the way,” Sydney said. “And that baby is my godson. I won’t let any harm come to him, not even from that guy—what’s his name again?”Through a mix of laughter and tears, I said, “Logan.”“Yes, Logan. And we’re going to make sure he knows he can’

    Thankfully, Lily called my attention, giving me a reason to tear my gaze away from him. I quickly made my way to the back to meet her, trying to shake off the unease. Just before I moved completely away from the front counter, I turned back and saw that they were talking to Zoey.Lily handed me another form, apologizing for forgetting to give it to me earlier. "This one is for your account details," she explained.I filled out the form, glad for the distraction. “Thank you,” I said, handing it back to Lily.When I stepped back into the shop, I noticed the two men were still there, chatting casually with Zoey. I tried to focus on my work, arranging flowers and making sure everything looked perfect. Zoey glanced over at me with a small smile as if she could tell I was still a bit uneasy. I smiled back and kept working.Zoey came over to where I was standing, and I couldn’t hold back my curiosity any longer. “Who are those men?” “Ethan and Mason,” Zoey said with a grin. “They’re th

    The day at the flower shop went by in a blur, and I was surprised at how easily I seemed to fit in. Ethan and Mason were still hanging around the shop, and I wondered what their deal was. I tried my best to avoid them to keep my first day from getting any more awkward than it already had been.Lily soon came outside and said, “You can leave once it’s five. Someone else will take over from where you left off.” Then she headed towards Ethan and Mason.“Thank you, Lily,” I said as I picked up my bag. My hands were already aching from cutting and arranging flowers. During lunch, I had ordered food to be delivered since I wasn’t familiar with the area. I didn’t want any trouble finding my way back to the shop because, honestly, I’m terrible at remembering directions.As I was about to step out the door, Mason walked closer to me. I took a moment to check him out. He was wearing black jeans and a black T-shirt, with perfectly styled blonde hair. His chiseled jaw and inviting smile, comp

    I can’t believe what I just heard. My heart leaps with joy, pounding so hard I feel it might burst from my chest. “I’m right where I should be,” she whispers.It feels surreal. “Say that again, Nadine,” I urged, my face lighting up with happiness.“Oh, stop, Logan,” she replies, covering her face with her hands.Unable to contain my excitement, I scoop her up in a bridal carry and head up the stairs.“Drop me! I can walk by myself!” she laughs, but I can’t help my joy as I carry her with happiness.“Where are you taking me?” she asks, laughing.“To my bathroom.

    He moves his hand down, sliding my pants aside, and finds my clit with his fingers. I shudder, arching my back as he continues to press deeper. He adds another finger, fucking me with it, but it doesn’t come close to satisfying the longing that’s consumed me for years. No amount of self-control can hold back the desire that surges through me.His fingers alone can’t quench my thirst. All I want is his dick inside me, filling me, while my clit clench around him.He slams into me with all the raw power I remember from our first night together, igniting a fire deep in me.That night is etched in my memory, and each time I use my toy, I picture him, as I thrust in and out reliving the raw connection I feel that reckless night.As he drives deeper, sensations flood back, every gasp, every moan, every brush of his skin against mine.
