JENNA

"What is wrong with you? Why are you sounding that way? All we had was a single night, Dylan; and it was supposed to end there. Don't make this into something that it isn't, and shouldn't even be."

Even as I say the words I can feel my heart race at the way his arms are folded over his chest in a daunting pose, his eyes never leaving mine.

"Are you done?" His voice is cold when he asks.

"Don't you dare do that! I make a good point and you know it." I mimic his pose. "Or what? Why didn't you come clean to my father when you saw me if you knew you wanted to stake a claim on me?" I challenge.

A single brow inches high on his forehead. "I don't think you would have reacted well to that, so I thought to save you the embarrassment." He points at me with an upturned palm. "I mean, look at how flustered you get now that I mention it. And we're alone."

My cheeks heat up at his assessment and I close my eyes, rubbing my fingers against my forehead to ease the headache that's starting to f

    DYLAN"Excuse you?" My ears are ringing with disbelief. Did she really just say that?"That's exactly what I've been asking you as well. Can you please excuse me and let me do my job?"I start to move closer to her but she raises a palm up to halt my progress. "Don't even think about it.""Jenna...""You can say whatever it is that you want from there, Dylan. I don't need to exchange breaths with you to be able to hear you."My fingers comb through my hair in exasperation. God! Why is it so difficult to understand women?"I got a call yesterday. You were here when that happened. It was an emergency that was why I hurried out the way that I did." I walk away from her to the side of my office where a tiny liquor bar is perched against the wall.She doesn't move, or say a single word as I pour myself a shot of whiskey and down it. I don't say anything more either, instead I help myself to another shot and down it just like I had the first one."If that's all. I'd like to leave now." Her

    Maybe I was angry when I shoved the door open and stepped in, but not anymore. Now I am simply amused. Both blonde women are staying at me with shocked expressions and their mouths shaped similar to that of a goldfish.I flash them a cheery smile. "Oh, don't stop on my account. I'm just here to grab a bottle of water, nothing more."The taller blonde, in a green blouse and black pants, tips her chin in a posture that should be defiant but really is just an attempt to save herself the embarrassment of being caught in the middle of a gossip."Then grab the water and leave. Or what? Do you have bigger plans? Like getting us fired for example?""How would I possibly be able to get you fired? Do tell. Last I checked, I am a mere intern. Or did I get promoted withiut my knowledge?" I ask with the most serious expression I can muster.The same blonde gives me a smile that is anything but friendly. "You know exactly it is that you've you've able to manage our forced retirement. Don't you?" Sh

    "He would need to have the surgery within or before the end of three days." The doctor pauses and shoots me a look that's filled with sorrow and pity. "If he doesn't get it removed before then, the likelihood of his survival and absolute recovery would be zero."I dab at the tears that are making a freefall down my face. "Is there nothing else that can be done, doctor?"She shakes her head sadly. "There's not much else that we can do. You'd obviously amass more of the medical debts, but I'd assume that would be better than losing your brother entirely."I nod my head quickly to let her know that I completely understand. "Of course." I wipe more tears off my face. "Do whatever needs to be done to save his life, Doctor. I would find a way to gather the money and...""Sorry to interrupt, but you're being sought in the emergency unit, Dr. Maxwell." A nurse pokes her head in through the door that's cracked halfway open.Dr. Maxwell looks at the nurse and tilts her head in a professional no

    My life has been moving in such a downward trajectory that even I cannot be so surprised when something bad happens.I went from being excited over the idea of paying up the last of my student loans, to having said money donated to the hospital to keep my brother alive. Then asking for even bigger loans to cover the payment for his surgery, getting a disgusting offer to sell my body to my boss to keep myself, Duran and grandma afloat; and ultimately losing my job because some rich jerk decided to buy the commercial building the diner was located in. "What are you going to do now? It's so crazy to even think about the fact that you're jobless at a time like this. Keeping them going was already difficult with the job, imagine how much harder it would be without it.""Wow. I couldn't have thought about all that myself and made me feel worse. Great job, Anna."Don't get me wrong, I love Anna; and she means well. But she just doesn't know when to take a breather and hold back on the messa

    My mind skips several beats after Mr. Jackson turns his very unwanted attention in my direction. My brain struggles to come up with a befitting response to help get us out of the gossiping mess we've found ourselves in thanks to Kim's unwillingness to quit interrogating me.I clear my throat and fix him with my most serious expression. "Well, as much as I'd love to share the ideas I already have as a market researcher, it is imperative that I get an insight into the possible cause in profit decline." I turn to face Kim then and arch a brow at her. "Is this profit decline a result of a decrease in sales, or an increase in cost. Or is it a result of the combination of both."By the time I turn back to face Mr. Jackson, his face is covered in a pleased expression. "Very well." He nods at me. "It appears that you have a deeper understanding of marketing strategies than I originally thought. Wrap this up quickly, and if you do it well enough, I just might put in a good word for both of you

    Yesterday wasn't so bad. I mean it could have brnr so much worse, I can still remember the amount of embarrassment I was flooded with when Cat decided to rip my clothes to shreds, but then Rye had swooped in and saved the day; and that kiss at my dorm door? Boy! That kiss was heaven."What are you blushing about?" Diana comments from beside me, causing me to jolt back into the here and now.I smiled sheepishly at her. "Nothing. I was just lost in thought.""You never did tell me why it was that you left school before closing hours." She eyed me closely.My butt squirmed on the stool I was perched on as we had breakfast before heading for school. I think about all the different things I've had to live through this week, and it's only Thursday. "I ran into some trouble after P.E and I had to come back home."

    Anger takes over her features, and she glares at me. "What the hell is wrong with you? What gives you the right to speak to me that way?""I don't like to repeat myself, Jenna..."She cuts me off arrogantly. "That's just so sad, Dylan. Or is it Mr. Carlson? I would like to know which one I am talking to right now."My eyes burn into hers and it takes all of my self control to not bend her over my thighs and spank the fuck out of her."Jenna..."She cuts me off again. "I don't know what it is that is wrong with you, but it gives you no right to talk to me this way.""You ignored my texts." I state in a matter of fact tone.A single brow archs on her face and she rolls her eyes. "You were rude there too. And what are you? Thirteen?"She finally moves closer and takes a seat on one of the seats opposite mine. "What do you want?""Your mom's been calling me.

    I would go through everything in this world to get a fee of those good moments with Danil again. The moments when he held me in his arms and whispered comforting reassurances to me, the moments when he was both a friend and leader. So scary and capable and..."How much of a masochist am I?" I grumble out loud, my voice sounding tired and angry all at once."You love him, that doesn't make you a masochist." Hannah walks into the kitchen with a tray in hand and a look of understanding on her face."He doesnt deserve my love. He is a traitorous bastard." My declaration has another slice of red hot pain racing along my spine."You don't know that for sure, Xhelixia. For all we know he is just as much a victim as you are.""I saw them."

    DYLAN "How did it go with Mr. Drako?" Dominika asks over the phone. She has been calling me non-stop for the last 3 days, and I would be a liar if I said it didn't bother me to no end that she was constantly on my case. "I don't see how that's any of your business." My tone is curt and filled with disinterest. "But more importantly, how did you know I had a run- in with Drako?" She laughs softly. "Oh for the love of God, Dylan. I know about everything that's going on there in New York. Don't insult me." "You can only have information like that if you've been conversing with Donald. And for his sake, I hope he has not been feeding you sensitive information like that." "You offend me, Dylan. Why do you choose to treat me like a common stranger after everything we've been through?" Her tone is infused with hurt. "Whatever we shared is over now, Dominika." "You never believed I had nothing to do with your family's disappearance, did you?" She sighs into the phone. "I swear

    RYEI smiled as the first rays of sunlight kissed my eyes this morning, stretching, with them still shut, against my pillow.It's been years since I've had such decent sleep. And I have the fiery silver head that spent the night curled up against me like a koala to thank for getting it last night. Sure, she had snuck out this morning - if you can even call it that - at the first crack of dawn; smelling a lot like fear and regret.There is something ridiculously special about that girl, and I have every intention if finding it out. I definitely do feel a tinge of regret for taking her virginity in that way, but it couldn't be helped. I didn't want her tied to me in ways that would restrict her freedom.My lounging is interrupted by the shrill ringing of my phone, and I groan. Who could it be this early in the morning?I roll over to grab the phone from the nightstand. "Father?""Lyrik. What the hell are you doing?" He thinders from the other end of the line."What do you think? I was

    JENNA"Today has been too many forms of annoying. I don't think I can take any more of the weekend." I complain into my phone, drowning Kim in my sorrows.I would totally call Jenny right now, but I don't think I can just call on her with all of my baggage after months of barely there contact.Her laughter travels into my ears, pissing me off with its sweetness. "What's so wrong with the weekend? I thought we all wanted to have the time to chill out after a stressful week?"A groan slips past my throat. "You know what I'm talking about, Kim.""What the fuck is so wrong with having some time to chill? You need the rest more than anyone else.""But...""But what?" She counters then heaves a huge sigh, probably exhausted with my whining already. "Look, Jenna, you need to get your shit together. Why haven't you told him about it yet?""Eva showed up.""I'm sorry, what?!" She yells into the receiver. "You know what? Hold on, this is not a phone conversation."With that the call cuts off. F

    DYLAN"Fuck." Jenna's soft mutter carries a lot of emotion, enough that I don't have to wonder if something is wrong. It most definitely is.I turn around to face the woman standing behind me. It was her voice and interruption that caused Jenna to freeze anyway."Can I help you?" I ask the definitely unfamiliar face.She looks down at me, dragging her attention away from Jenna, who looks positively unimpressed. "I'm sorry to barge in on you this way, Sir. But..." she pauses, her eyes wide and her mouth the shape of an o. "You are Dylan Carlson, the owner of Carlson's Inc. and our boss.""I don't see how you can call him your boss when you no longer work for the company." Jenna speaks up at the same time that I go..."In what department do you work?"She completely ignores Jenna and her question, choosing instead to bask me in all of her very unwanted attention. "I used to work for the marketing department, but I was unjustly laid off a few weeks ago, and I wondered why." Her gaze dar

Kim's voice is the usual mask of intense calm that I envy.My head swivels in her direction and I fix her a glare. "The baby is exactly what the problem is, Kim. I don't know the first thing about being a mother and I am fucking pregnant.""Yeah, you are. I don't see what the issue is." She looks at me like I've gone insane and it just makes my blood boil.I throw my hands up in exasperation. "I am pregnant, Kim." My voice wobbles a bit.She rolls her eyes. "So you've said the last I don't know... million times? I don't see what's so wrong with being pregnant." Her hand moves over her body in a dramatic way. "I am a single mother, remember? Not the end of the world.""You know who the father of this baby is.""Dylan Carlson. Your boss and ex-lover. Yeah?""How the hell am I supposed to be fine when I'm carrying a child for my own boss?"She gets out of
