"I've visited it often since then, but now I want it all day. So, can I?" she asked, her tone suddenly serious, as if this was the most important thing in the world."Huh... you didn't tell me about this before?" I asked, a bit taken aback by the sudden revelation."You didn't ask me," she replied,
The image of the gerbil nestled between her breasts was burned into my mind, fueling my irritation.She frowned, her expression turning shy and somewhat subdued. She gently placed the gerbil on the table beside us and reached into her jeans pocket, pulling out a small handful of seeds.She scattered
Ace POV:The door creaked open with a suddenness that made Mini jump in surprise.Hudson strode in, carrying a file, his face set in an expression that could only be described as serious.Mini, perched on my lap just moments before, scrambled to her feet with a haste that betrayed her flustered stat
"Bad Ace," she muttered, more to herself than to me. "Don't mind him, Snack. Give him time, and he'll love you," she reassured him, who continued to nibble on his seed, casting curious glances back at me.I shot the gerbil, another defiant middle finger, my irritation barely contained.Hudson sighed
The news had spread quickly, and now the whole city was buzzing with rumors and speculation.It was only a matter of time before the authorities got involved, and that was a complication we couldn't afford."Why don't we meet Antonio?" I suggested, my voice carrying a cold edge. The time for games w
Hudson let out a slow, measured breath, nodding in agreement. "We'll need to be careful, though. If anything goes wrong, if they suspect even for a second that we're planning something more... it could turn into a bloodbath.""I know," I replied, my voice steady but tinged with an edge of grim deter
My mind was constantly on guard, ready to protect her from any potential threats.If anyone tries to attack us here, I will burn down everyone in this world."So, do you want it or not?" she asked suddenly, her voice breaking through my vigilant thoughts.Confusion must have shown on my face because
He elbowed his friends, and they all turned to look at me. I kept my middle finger raised, making sure they all got a good look.That's when one of them, clearly the boldest—or the stupidest—decided to stand up and approach me.His friends watched with a mix of curiosity and caution, but he seemed i
Why did I only notice it now?Ace chuckled—low, knowing."Do your work like a good whore," he murmured, his tone silky but laced with steel. "And show me your devotion, brat."He leaned back, and the pressure of his hands, which had been a constricting comfort around my body, vanished. Like a snake
I blinked, my breath hitching, frustration curling inside my chest."Please…" The whisper left me before I could stop it, before I could hold onto my pride. My head dipped down, shame curling my shoulders inward as I bit down on my lower lip. "Just one kiss. Even a peck."Ace clicked his tongue, th
“Don’t expect me to treat you like a good girl till I believe you’re sorry, Iris,” he murmured, his tone dark and taunting.Before I could process it, his thumb shoved past my lips, forcing them apart. My eyes flew wide, a muffled “Hmph” escaping as my hands shot up, fingers digging into his knees
“Sit on your knees.”…What?I froze.My smile slipped, and a soft “Huh?” escaped me before I could stop it.The warmth I’d felt a second ago twisted into something heavier, sharper, and I blinked at him, caught off guard.“You heard me, my sweet whore,” he said, leaning back with a smirk that stretc
I clenched my fists, inhaling sharply before narrowing my eyes at him.This man.This man would kill me.My fingers tugged at my top, pulling it back down as I tried to piece together what just happened.Why did he stop?I gulped, my throat dry, my body still traitorously warm. Ace smirked, draping
I sputtered, fisting my hands.“Boss,” Joy’s voice cut through my humiliation.“Wouldn’t Hudson sir be angry about what you just did to his sister? Should we, uh, step outside?”Ace didn’t even spare her a glance.“No. Stay here and do your work. I’ll do mine,” he said smoothly, like he hadn’t just
And he had the audacity to ignore me?He didn’t even say thank you!I glared at his back.“Boss,” I said, layering my voice with a little too much sweetness. “It’s past your lunch time. You should eat.”Nothing.Not even a glance.Ace continued flipping through his damn papers like I was invisible.
But it was probably not the sparkly, glittering fairy kind. More like the I-make-people-disappear kind.Joy. That’s her name.Wooow.A woman named Joy working at a place where she literally brings pain. “Oh yeah!! I remember now,” Joy exclaimed, her face lighting up like I was her long-lost best f
Damn it, Iris. Play it cool!His gaze didn’t waver. “May I know what you are doing here?”I cleared my throat. “Uh… just… passing by?”He arched a brow.I let out a nervous laugh and gestured to the air. “You know, just… admiring the architecture?”Then, he tilted his head toward the slightly open d
