KIAN’S POVImmense relief floods me when I am told that I can finally get on the plane back home after spending not just any night at the airport but a really cold one. All because my flight got delayed for over fifteen hours.There was no exact reason or explanation given when I came in here last n
LESLIE’S POV Kian's business might have gone down the drain, but he is clearly still his stubborn and pigheaded self. Sure, when I came running down here—breaking almost every traffic rule—I didn’t expect him to just run into my arms. I knew before I even came here that it would be hard to convin
LESLIE’S POVSomething as simple as kissing Kian sets me on fire all the time. I know it’s the same for him too since his warm hand grips my exposed thighs and draws circles continuously over my flesh as I drive us home. I struggle to concentrate on driving with his hand teasing me. The sly smile on
LESLIE’S POVIt’s official, wild and dirty Kian is my new favourite. My toes curl when he leans in and licks the seam of my lips, wordlessly asking me to open up even before he can properly kiss me. I open without hesitation and he plunges in—tongue first—into my mouth. His tongue ravenously explor
He says, hot breath fanning my face. He kisses me gently—my eyes, nose, cheeks, mouth. “Oh god.” I exclaim and he chuckles.Then he pulls back and looks me deep in the eyes as he says “I love you so much, Leslie. But it’s gonna seem like I don’t in the next few minutes.” Whatever response I had t
LESLIE’S POV The fact that I spent all night being spooned by Kian makes me jerk up the moment I wake up the next morning and I don’t feel his warm body against mine. To top it all, the side of the bed in which he slept is already cool, which means he’s been out of the bed for a while. I am still
KIAN’S POVThe idea of going on a date with Leslie might seem sudden and unexpected to her. She may even think I have nothing properly planned out but that’s not true. I’ve played with the idea in my head long before we met again. I’d imagined taking her out to show her how much I cared about her.
“Okay, this might be a little out there, but I thought it’d be fun to do something that doesn’t cost a thing. Something that actually lets us learn a bit more about each other,” I say, reaching into my pocket.She raises an eyebrow. “I’m intrigued.”I pull out a folded piece of paper with a list I m
CHAPTER 106 [A Rebound] ~SOPHIE~ I stared at my reflection in the mirror, tilting my head to the left, then the right. My dress fit like a second skin—black, sleeveless, simple but elegant. It wasn’t over-the-top, but it hugged me in all the right places. Still, I felt uncertain. “Do I look l

CHAPTER 105 [Erasing Him] ~SOPHIE~ I’d made up my mind to erase Travis totally. In my thoughts, in my future and even in my memories if I could help it. I had decided, and now, I was beginning the painful process of erasing him. The first conversation I had that morning was with my father. I’d ti
CHAPTER 104 [ Another lost kid] ~ELAINE~ (8) I kept my gaze locked on the food, my hands gripping the edge of the blanket wrapped around me. My stomach twisted painfully, but the fear in my chest held my body in place. I didn't trust it. I didn’t trust him. He didn’t look like he was trying to
CHAPTER 103 [The Lesser Evil ] ~ELAINE~ (7) I curled up tighter on my bed, pulling the covers around my frail body even though I wasn’t cold. It wasn’t the temperature that made me tremble—it was the growling in my stomach and the pounding in my head. Hunger had a way of distorting everything, e
CHAPTER 102 [No String and a Billionaire’s Name] ~SEBASTIAN~ (3) The moment I stepped into the house, silence greeted me like a sneer to the face. No voices, no footsteps, no Sophie playing the dutiful daughter as I ordered her to do. Just silence and the faint creak of floorboards as I shut the
CHAPTER 101 ~TRAVIS~ I didn’t know what it was or what to call it exactly; that feeling that curled in my chest the moment Sophie looked at me like a stranger and walked away with an actual one. But whatever it was, it was familiar. I’d felt it before on the very night she ended things. That
CHAPTER 99 [You Heard The Lady ] ~SOPHIE~ The can of juice in my hand was already warm. I hadn’t taken more than two sips, but I tossed it into the nearest trash can like it had personally offended me. Coming here was a mistake—again. I shouldn’t have let my father’s excited words or Travis’ i
