**Valerie**

I stood in front of the full-length mirror in my bedroom, admiring my new bob hairstyle for the last time before I headed downstairs, where Lucas was already waiting for me.

"Hey," I greeted, buckling my seatbelt as soon as I entered the car.

He glanced at me with a smile and brushed my cheek gently. "You look great."

My heart did a stupid flip, and I blushed. "Thanks."

As soon as the drive started, I mentally began to go over how I hoped today would turn out. The music playing from the speakers served as a backdrop as my mind reeled... searching for loopholes, and I so hoped to God that there were none.

I glanced at Lucas humming to the music, and I was glad that we'd reached the stage of comfortable silence between us, where neither of us felt pressured with bringing up topics to be discussed, where we both understood that sometimes, silence was indeed golden.

As usual, Lucas walked me to the huge doors of Harrison Enterprises when we arrived.

And today again, I w

    **Third person**Karen walked alongside Adam, her heels clicking on the polished floor. "I'm excited to see the new presentation room," she said to him, sounding enthusiastic.Adam smiled, his eyes glinting with a mischievous light. "I know you'll be impressed.""I hope this isn't all talk," she teased, and he laughed. Though a little too loud for her statement.As soon as they got to the door, Adam pulled out his phone. "Please let me just check on something real quick. You should go ahead."Karen entered the room and shut the door behind her, a small smile tugging on her lips at the impressive hall. And just then, her phone began to ring. She glanced at the caller ID, her fingers swiping on the screen quickly, and then she pressed the device against her ear. "Report.""It cost me a lot of resources to do a series of investigations... But I finally found the owner of that car," a man's voice came through the receiver.

    **Third person**“I should leave now.” Matt stood up abruptly, clearing his throat and picking up his phone. “I, um... I have some work to…”“Yeah, yeah,” I cut him off, my palms rubbing my thighs nervously as I looked around. “You should leave.” The tension in the room was almost choking me.“No need to walk me out; I’ll go myself.”I nodded. “Yeah, sure, you should do that.”I let out a deep breath after I heard the door shut. Then I reached for the cup and emptied the contents at a go.My mind reeled with thoughts, uncertainty twisting my insides. I entered my room and grabbed a coat and my keys, deciding to go for a ride.After about half an hour of driving around town, I found myself at Lucas’s gate. Maybe my body was trying to tell me what I needed tonight—good dick.My subconscious tugged at me for reducing him to just a body part when I knew that he was so much more. I knew that too. It’s just that… If I said that I craved his company, wouldn’t it sound like I’m falling for hi

    **Valerie**I pulled down his shorts, my mouth immediately finding his member and taking it in my mouth. He gave a loud moan in response.My tongue swirled across the tip before filling my mouth with his cock again.“Fuck, just like that.” His hands were pulling at my hair, trying to control my movement.I looked up at him to see his mouth hanging open, his eyes rolling, like he'd been transported to another universe. And that was just the fuel I needed. I took in more of him, tears slipping down the sides of my eyes as I gagged on his large manhood.“Argh,” he growled, and before I knew it, I was sitting on the counter, Lucas between my thighs, my legs on his shoulder, my clothes and ripped panties on the floor, and my nipples pointing at him. He rubbed his penis against my entrance. “Damn… you're so wet for me, baby.” His hand reached to slap my boobs before squeezing them.I clenched my thighs, feeling my wetness drip and my core throb with anticipation. “Please put…”He didn't ev

    **Valerie** My mind spun as I tried to get him off, but it was useless against this tall, well-muscled man. Okay, one… two… three… I'll push him again with all my strength. And then I pushed. Matt ripped off from me and fell to the ground. Cool… Am I that strong? Seems my workouts finally served for something other than aesthetics. But when I looked up, I realized I was wrong. Lucas was hovering over Matt now, his eyes blazing with anger, and before my lips could part to say anything, he'd already landed a punch on Matt's face, sending Matt crashing to the ground. My lips parted, and I facepalmed mentally. Oh fuck… Mathew immediately sprang to his feet, his face twisted in a snarl, his fists clenching as he charged towards Lucas. I rushed between them, facing Matt, my hands raised to stop the impending fight. "Stop! Both of you, just stop!" Then I glanced at Lucas to see his chest heaving with anger, but he didn't take his eyes off Mathew. "You're a fucking goner," he growled.

    **Third person** The VIP club area pulsed with energy, the air thick with the scent of champagne and perfume. Girls in bare tities and thongs paraded the room, their smiles bright as they attended to the men lounging on plush couches. In the midst of this chaos, Lucas sat at the edge of the room. He gripped his short glass tightly, his jaw clenched in anger, as he mentally replayed the events of today. How on earth did he go from having the perfect evening with Valerie to… to this? That damn Matthew! He slammed his fist against the table in front of him, the loud thud drowning in the sound of the music. He stared into the amber liquid, his eyes blazing with a fire that threatened to consume him, and then he emptied his glass at a go. "Two shots," he growled at the bartender, his voice low and menacing. The bartender, a gruff but kind-eyed man, nodded sympathetically. "Rough night, buddy?" Lucas didn't respond; he just watched as the bartender expertly mixed another whis

    **Third person**A month ago,Layla walked into the reception area of Stone's Enterprises. "Hi, I'm Layla Beckett from Harriston's Enterprises. I'm here to see Mr. Stone," she said, smiling at the receptionist.The receptionist looked up, slightly taken aback. "Do you have an appointment, Miss...?"“Layla. And no, I don't have an appointment.”“Then I'm afraid you can't see Mr. Stone.”"Please, can you just call and tell him it's very important?" Layla urged. “It's an emergency.”The receptionist hesitated for a moment, seemingly studying Layla and contemplating whether or not to help. With a small sigh, she finally picked up the phone."Hello sir, there's a Layla from Harriston's Enterprises here to see you. She says it's about..."“It's an emergency,” Layla whispered, mentally rolling her eyes at the receptionist's pretense of forgetfulness since she walked in.A pause, then the receptionist nodded and dropped the call.

You'll have to bring me—"“Wait, not so fast, Mr. Stone,” she cut in, her eyes sparkling with a mischievous glint as she realized that this call meant she had the upper hand.He frowned, confused. “What do you mean?”“You have to pay for my silence.” Her lips stretched into a smirk. “I'm very sure Mrs. Smith would be interested in—”Lucas scoffed. “How much do you want?”She smiled confidently. “Five million.”“I'll send seven. Get a DNA test between the sisters done.”“The sisters?” Layla exclaimed, slightly taken aback. “How do you expect me to do that? Karen and I aren't—"“Your problem,” he cut her off. “Then he lowered his phone, about to hang up when something crossed his mind. “And don't tell Valerie that you told me about her… ‘secret.’”His voice came out as a low growl, a dangerous edge to it.Layla swallowed the lump in her throat. “I understand.” The

    **Third person** Mrs. Stone raised a brow, genuinely taken aback by Angela's audacity. “You're not leaving?” Her tone was as sharp as her gaze, daring Angela to repeat her words. Angela swallowed. “That’s not what I meant, mother. Please, I want to be by Lucas's side.” “Lucas doesn't want to be by your side,” Lucas chipped in through gritted teeth. “Angela, you have to leave.” Mrs. Stone's voice was softer now. “What happened between you two was a mistake.” “Nothing happened between us,” Lucas clarified, his frown deepening. For goodness sake, he'd know if there was sex. And why can't he remember anything else after the bar? Mrs. Stone glanced at Lucas briefly, a small sigh leaving her before she returned her focus to Angela. “You two aren't meant to be.” Angela's fingers dug into the sheet wrapped around her. “But—” “Leave," Mrs. Stone cut in, her voice dripping with an air of finality. "Before I'm forced to take drastic measures,” she added when Angela didn't respond. With t

    **Lucas**“Valerie!” I shouted as I watched the taxi drive away with her.“Fuck!!” I yelled. I ran a palm across my face, my heart pounding as I pulled at my hair. Why do I keep fucking things up? Just why??!I groaned and then jogged back to the garage, deciding to drive to her house. “I hope she's headed home,” I muttered frustratedly.How was I supposed to explain things to her when I clearly know how this looks? But how do I convince her? I'm quite sure that nothing happened. Even though I was drunk, at least I'd remember bits and pieces of the sex afterwards—that's if it did happen—but there was nothing at all. Nothing.Just as I approached my car, Angela blocked my path. “What are you doing?” she asked.I shrugged, moved away from her and took another route, but she was quick to block my way again. “Why are you going after her when I'm here?”“Angela. Move,” I gritted out slowly, my patience wearing thin.“Why? I'm the one who loves you. I can make you happy.” Then her eyes dil

    **Valerie**“Karen?” I echoed, my heart racing, and he nodded.“Just be quiet,” he whispered and gave me a reassuring look before stepping out.After he left, I moved to the door and pressed myself against it, my ears straining to eavesdrop on their conversation.“Hey babe, what do you say about lunch?” I heard him say to Karen.“Lunch?” Came her response.I imagine her face was twisted into a scowl because he continued, “I don't know why you think that about me. I'm sorry, okay? I'm not behind those pranks.”A pause. Then, “Why are you acting so strangely right now?" Karen's voice asked. "You didn't give a shit that I thought you were responsible for the pranks. So why are you apologizing all of a sudden?”“That's not it,” he chuckled, but I could hear the tremble in it. “I thought your meeting ended a while ago. What are you still doing here?” I heard the clinking of heels get closer and closer to the door. Then it stopped.“Let's talk things over. Let's go for lunch, okay?” I ima

    **Valerie**I was sitting across from Tessa at work, my mind wandering and a thousand thoughts trooping in.So they're not my parents? Explains everything.Or did Karen just say I'm not her sister to make her seem less bad?But if they're not my parents, then who are they? Are my real parents still alive? Where are they?“Val?” Tessa's voice snapped me out of my daze.I blinked rapidly to suppress the tears welling in my eyes before I looked up at her. “Uhm, yeah?”She studied my face for a moment. “You good?”I nodded. “Yeah, sure." I tried to make my voice seem cheerful. "What's up?”She side-eyed me, her face screaming, ‘I know you're not fine, but it's okay if you don't want to tell me what's wrong.’ Then she pushed a document over to me.My face lit up, my eyes shifting from the document that was now in my hand to her face. “Is this what I think it is?”"Who knows?” She smiled, a mischievous glint in her eye. “Check it out."My hands got to work immediately, opening the envelope

    **Valerie**“Wait…” He paused, processing my words. Then a proud laugh ripped from his throat. “That was intentional?”I smiled but didn't say a word. I just allowed him to take his time and catch his breath until he spoke up again.“But doesn't that mean you'll lose Adam as an ally?” He asked with a thoughtful expression.I shrugged. “I don't have use for him anymore,” I replied sincerely.“Fucking bastard is getting what he deserves,” Matt seconded with a nod. There was a brief pause on the other end before he spoke again. “There's something I want to tell you about that Gary Miller. How does the weekend sound? It's not urgent.”“Yeah, there's that guy,” I sighed out. “Weekend's fine for me, Matt.”“Okay, good, I'll see you then.”“Yeah, bye.”The line went dead, and I placed my phone away, my mind shifting to the bug in Adam's bedroom and what new recordings it must have acquired.After the bloodbath yesterday, Karen must have had some things to say. Actually, not ‘some’... She mus

    **Third person**Karen let out another loud laugh. Her tone was filled with mockery and amusement. “I should have known something was wrong when ‘Ashleeey’ didn't come for you.” She air-quoted the word ‘Ashley,’ disdain resting on her tongue.Then she paused, her smile vanishing completely and replaced with a fierce look. "If Ashley's ghost was truly roaming around, you'd be the first one she attacks!” She spat. “After all, you're the son of a bitch who killed his pregnant wife!”Adam recoiled, taken aback by Karen's words. He scoffed, disbelief clouding his features. How could she put it on him? When she was just as bad.“You must be delusional,” he snarled, facing his wife head-on. “Why do you think she wouldn't have come for you? Aren't you the whore of a sister who was sleeping with her man?!” He let his disgust-filled eyes rake over her. “Plus you fucking killed her too!”Karen lounged forward, her face contorted in rage as her palm flew in the air, aiming for Adam's face. But Ad

    **Valerie**Adam's eyes caught mine for a brief moment, and I could see the anger beneath his calm facade. I swallowed and looked away, not wanting to figure out what he was thinking. I wasn't scared, though. I shouldn't be. I couldn't be.Lucas reached for my hand and gave it a light squeeze. I smiled and looked up at him, grateful for the support he didn't even know that I needed.I held onto his hand for a few more minutes, just enjoying the warmth and comfort his touch brought. My gaze roamed the emptying hall, my eyes catching some members of security rushing up to the stage with towels in hand.“Maybe we should leave now,” I suggested to Lucas after a while.At this point, they'd carried Mr. and Mrs. Harrison off stage. The hall was basically empty, save for Adam and Karen, who remained in their seats, and a few workers still roaming about.Lucas seemed to search my face for a moment before speaking. “We could take our time if you want.”Take our time?“Why?" I blurted out with

    **Valerie**Even Adam gasped. I watched his shoulders sag in what I believe was defeat.The man’s eyes scanned the room slowly, searching for last-minute bids. Though his eyes lingered on Adam for a while, perhaps expecting him to counter the offer.I rolled my eyes at him. Really? He should end this already.“Pièce de résistance has been sold for twenty million dollars,” the auctioneer shouted, his face beaming.The room erupted into applause as Lucas was declared the winner. I leaned over, my voice barely audible. “Twenty million dollars?”Adam's defeat was satisfying, but I didn't like the fact that Lucas had to spend so much money in the process.Lucas smirked, his eyes sparkling with amusement as he leaned forward. “I told you I'd get it, didn't I?” he muttered casually, more of a statement than a question. So I didn't answer; I just shook my head slightly.“Our next piece for tonight is the exquisite ‘Midnight Mirage’ by Alexis LaRue,” the auctioneer announced, shifting our focu

    **Valerie** My brows furrowed in confusion. How? Why would he say that? He doesn't even know that I'm married. But before I had any time to process his words, he turned to Freya. "This is Valerie Thorne. She's the most beautiful woman in the world, and she's my girlfriend." He brushed my hair slightly with his free hand, the touch sending a shiver down my spine. Most beautiful woman in the world? My cheeks turned a bright shade of red as I extended a hand to her. The woman didn't take my hand. Instead, her smile faltered, a flicker of disdain crossing her features. "Oh, you're his girlfriend?" she echoed, the words laced with a chilling disbelief. Before I could respond, Lucas cut through the awkward silence. "Yup. And nice catching up, but we should get going." His tone was firm, effectively brushing off her condescension. A surge of pride and satisfaction coursed through me as I watched Freya's smile vanish completely, replaced by a look of stunned disbelief. We moved a

    **Valerie**Saturday night,My eyes caught my parents, and I felt the air knock out of my lungs. Mrs. Harrison, my mother, was looking as elegant as usual. She was wearing a sleeveless ball gown, her hair styled into a fringe and ponytail, and her arm locked onto my dad's.My dad, ever the charmer, was laughing with a man I recognized. He was one of the big investors at the Harrisons' company.I could imagine what Dad was saying to the man. ‘We’re on the verge of a revolutionary breakthrough, and with your support, we can make it happen.‘ It was his typical way of luring new investors or encouraging old investors to invest more.Then suddenly, his eyes met mine. I reached for a glass of wine from a passing tray and gulped everything at once, the liquid doing very little to calm my frayed nerves.“Are you okay?” Lucas, who was standing beside me, asked.I tore my eyes from Peter Harrison, my gaze sweeping across the room, taking in the grand ballroom shimmering like wonderland. It was
