“May I come in?” Ajax heard the knock at the door and groaned.
“Is it a bad time?” she spoke again, and Ajax felt his heart couldn’t take it anymore. He wanted quiet. He wanted to be alone. But the more he tried to push everyone away, the more they pushed back. The more they tried to make him dance to their tune. The more they galled him to the bones.
But Noemie Rochester was the only person who could try to annoy him to her uttermost will, and he wouldn’t have the heart to drive her away. He didn’t want to push her away. If anything, he wished to keep her close. Closer. All for himself. Could he? Absolutely fucking not!
And that only made everything else even worse.
After Linda passed away three months ago, he tried to be strong.

[PAST...CONTINUED]Minutes after Noémie left, he lifted his head when another knock landed on the door.For fuck’s sake!“Hey, cousin, are you in?” A familiar voice arrived. And before he could work on something sarcastic to say, Hannah pushed the door open and walked inside as if she owned it. But maybe she did. After all, his father favoured her more than any of his own sons. He wasn’t sure what his fucking deal was, but he wasn’t in the right mind to go too deep into it either.“What do you want?” he asked, exasperated, while massaging his temples.“Wow!” she exclaimed dramatically. “Someone’s

[PAST...CONTINUED]Ajax wasn’t sure whether what he was seeing in front of him was real or a fantasy.It was impossible to make out the difference.He tried rubbing his eyes. He tried pinching himself. But the more he tried to wake himself up from whatever the hell he had tumbled into, he only fell deeper.Ajax took a few tentative steps towards the bed to make sure the alcohol hadn’t melted his brain. But the closer he got, the sharper the vision turned. More certain he became of himself, and more confusion rose in his chest.The fact that there was a woman in his room was the matter alone that had his head reeling. But to realize that the woman in his room—on his bed—was no one else but Noémie almost had him choke on his own saliva.

“How long were you hoping things to go on like this, Noémie? For how long?”Noémie’s mother scolded.Not because she was angry or felt the need to put their elder daughter in place, but because she cared.Because she was disappointed that in the past few months, their daughter had been through literal hell, and they didn’t even know about it.How ignorant could a parent be? She wondered who was truly at fault here. The children? Or the parents?“I was going to tell you…” Noémie started—her voice soft and delicate—, her gaze locked on the plate in front of her. Her fingers clasped tightly around the fork as she poked at the food. “…eventually.”Her mot

“Sure.” Claudia drawled, raising an eyebrow at her older sister.Noémie ignored the look Claudia was giving her—partly because it made her feel guilty—and moved towards the only window in the room.Drawing the curtains aside and noticing for the first the bad weather that had darkened the sky.There was about to be a heavy downpour outside. She could already tell.But something about the knowledge did not sit right with her. A feeling of unease gripped her tight. She tried to shake it away, the bad feeling that is. But the feeling never subsided.“Do you really love him that much?” she heard Claudia ask. But because she was occupied with calming down the building worry in her heart, she couldn’t quite hear her right.

It was like walking into her worst nightmare.After Claudia moved out of her way and offered to drive her wherever Noémie wanted to be, they both got into the car and drove to the address Vincent had texted. Noémie being too nervous and petrified to think straight, Claudia took it upon herself to cooperate with Vincent Halest as he guided her over the phone through the shortest route they could take to avoid the jam-packed roads because of the heavy downpour.The hard rain pelted the roof of the car as Claudia glanced over to her side and noticed how badly Noémie’s hands were shaking.She tried to distract her older sister with frivolous conversation, but Noémie failed to fixate on anything but the man she had loved for so long but couldn’t ga

The rain continued to whip the windows in the room, the only sound that could be heard other than the pounding of her heartbeat.Noémie walked inside. And she kept on walking until she stood right in front of him.No words came out of her mouth. No amount of words felt satisfactory.Save for the occasional rumble of thunder outside, for a long minute, only silence existed between the two and throughout the room.Noémie sank to her knees and slipped her fingers through his dark, disheveled hair.Ajax jolted awake in a blink.His eyes widened at the sight of her. Lips parted as he tried to say something, but nothing came out.“Hey!” Noémie tried a small smile as s

With his face buried in the crook of her neck, Ajax groaned in protest when she pushed him with her hands on his shoulders and pulled her head back.“Honestly, we should have left hours ago.” Noémie looked at the time on the wall clock and chastised him. Attempting to get off the office desk in his study for the fifth time in the past hour, she was held back by the man who couldn’t get enough of her.Now that they had both confessed their love for each other, Ajax didn’t seem to have any trouble or control in showing how much he loved her wherever and whenever he got the chance. Sometimes he spoke with words, and other times with his lips and hands all over her body.It had been three days since that stormy night.Three days since, he had poured his heart out and told her everything he never did, never could. The weight that had lifted off his shoulders since that night was impossible for Ajax to express. He felt so free and light and better.It helped a lot that Noémie didn’t seem to

An hour later, Ajax and Noémie stood on the other end of the tinted window while Veronica sat with her head down, two officers in the investigation room with her. Her lawyer sat next to her, a man in his late forties with a cautious look on his face.“Whenever you’re ready, Ms. Shirley,” one of the officers told her, to which Veronica glanced over at her lawyer. Her lawyer gave her a nod to go on.“Is Ajax here?” she asked carefully, not lifting her gaze to the window even once.“Yes. Mr. Halest can see you, can hear you, just like you asked. Now, can we proceed, Ms. Shirley?”Veronica nodded.“So, let’s start from the beginning.” The other officer leaned forward, arms crossed on the table.Veronica swallowed deeply before her gaze dropped to her lap.Noémie sat in the chair with Ajax standing behind her.He gently squeezed her shoulders to ease the tight, nervous knot in her belly.“We met in Singapore four years back, Michael and I. He was there for some business. I was too. We met

Claire hadn’t expected Vincent to prepare the contract so soon. It took her by surprise when the same delivery men appeared at her grandma’s place the next day and brought her back to the old Halest Villa.According to the giant clock hung in the drawing room, it was exactly 9 o’clock in the morning. The old Halest Villa was dreadfully quieter than the previous day. The maids and guards were the only people she noticed since the moment she walked in and took a seat on the couch, waiting for Vincent to make an appearance.Claire was nervous. Her legs were shaking with anxiousness after every passing second. The conversation she had with Marvin the previous day didn’t make her feel any better either. It made her feel even worse. She knew she shouldn’t be hiding something so important from Vincent—especi

[Nine Months Ago]A man in a white lab coat punched a six-digit code and waited calmly as the heavy metal door groaned and slowly slid open. Behind him, two tall and hefty men stood. One of them carried an unconscious woman in his arms.The door revealed a restless lab, with men in similar lab coats bustling here and there. The pungent scent of chemicals and something acidic hung heavy in the air.As the three men entered the lab, the man in the lab coat paused and lifted a hand to guide the two large men.“Take her to cube number five,” the man said, and without waiting for a response, headed in the opposite direction.The two hefty men followed the order and stationed the unconsci

Marvin pursed his lips, settling back in his seat and crossing his arms over his chest. “Fine. Let’s talk about something else, then.”Just by the shift in his tone, Claire could tell what was coming next.“Would you like to explain that video about your pregnancy?”“Not really.”“Claire!”Claire groaned and held her head in her hands. “Why do you even care?”“You’re doing that to get that Halest boy, aren’t you?”“So what?”“You need to let him go!”“I can’t. You know I…I can’t do that.” How could he even ask her such a thing?“It’s not fair to him, Claire. He doesn’t know—”“He doesn’t have to know.”“Claire!” He leaned forward, his gaze hopeful and brimmed with concern. “Don’t do this. You’re just hurting yourself. And him. It’s not fair…” He reached out and cupped the back of her hand with his. “…to you, too.”Claire yanked her hand away. “Drop the act, Marvin. We both know you don’t give a crap about me.”“I don’t know what I’ve done to make you feel like this.”“Are you serious?

The second the elevator doors of Grandma’s apartment building opened, Claire groaned at the sight of Marvin, her older brother. God, what was he doing here? she thought to herself.After the intense conversation with Vincent, the exact delivery guys dropped her back at the place they picked her up from.“What are you doing here?” she asked exasperatedly as she shuffled out of the elevator while rubbing her temple.At the sight of her, Marvin peeled his back off the wall and stood up straighter. “I’ve been out here for almost an hour,” he grumbled. “Where have you been?” Adjusting the collar of his shirt, he demanded with a deep frown.“First off, that’s not the answer to my question,” she paused in front of him to fix him with an annoyed look. “And second, why are you outside again?”In response to her question, Marvin only sighed deeply in his chest, scratching the back of his neck. “She won’t let me in,” he muttered with a shake of his head, clearly talking about Grandma. “I would h

“Not to me, but to yourself.” Stepping away, he yanked her hands away from his shirt. “You always tell yourself these sweet lies and find comfort in them, Claire. You think you’ve changed, but you’re still the same.” Turning on his heels, he ran a hand through his hair. Frustrated.“Vincent…”“This time you went too far, Claire. Too far. You dragged my family into this. I’m not sure if I can ever forgive you for misleading them with your fucked-up lies.”“Don’t say that, Vince. I did this for you. For us.”“Stop it, Claire!” He snapped, wanting nothing more than to yank his hair out. “Just stop it!”Rushing to him, she hugged him from behind. More tears flowed through her red-rimmed eyes. “I know what I did

Claire knew she had gone too far. She knew what came out of her mouth was bound to fuck everything up. Even more than her situation already was. Vince would hate her. He didn’t have to spell it out for her to know she was only worsening her impression in his eyes.What other choice did she have, though?She was running out of not only time, but also options. Patience was her least remarkable character trait, after all. And when it came to Vincent, her patience grew even thinner. So much time she had already wasted in coming to her senses that now every second she had to stay away from him felt like a stab of the knife straight to her heart.Perhaps that was the reason that when Ajax dismissed her and she was led out of the study by a maid, she wasn’t surprised—or let out even a squeak in protest—when Vincent grabbed her by the arm and dragged her into the closest empty room.

[Six Months Ago]After seeing off her husband at the airport for a two-days business trip, when a woman named Susan Green returned to her apartment, she barely kicked off her shoes and filled herself with a glass of water when a knock on the door arrived.Unsure of who it might be at the lunch hour, she opened the door only to find no one outside.Susan frowned. She was pretty sure she had heard the knock. Not once. Not twice. But thrice. Someone had knocked at the door thrice. Wondering if the kids in the building had once again picked up the bad habit of annoying the random neighbours, she closed the door and locked it.However, just when she hoped to get back to the kitchen counter and grab herself a glass of water, her gaze fell on the yellow manila envelope on the floor. It looked like someone had slipped it inside from under the door

Claire did as she was told. Quietly, she pulled the back of the chair and sat down with her fingers tightly laced with each other.For a long minute, no one said anything. The only sound in the room seemed to be the ticking of the clock. The tension in the room felt tighter and thicker than she had ever experienced. When someone did speak, it came from her left where Sonia Halest sat.“Is it true?” The older woman asked with a frown.Before Claire could clarify what the question was regarding, Vincent beat her to it.“Of course, it’s not!” He snapped, pounding a fist on the desk and glaring at Ajax. “Did you even hear a word I said? It’s all a lie. There’s nothing between us.”“Vince…” Claire tried to say when he spun his head and glared at her.

Claire sighed into her chest and felt her back slump against the door. Her heart ached to see him this mad at her. She wondered what could she possibly do to make things back to normal between them.On second thought, things had never been normal between them. Perhaps that was the reason she felt so clueless and hopeless and helpless. She did not have a single clue what could she say or do to make him love her the way he did once. Had she taken too long to come to her senses? Was it possible that he liked someone else now?Claire hated the idea of Vince being with some other woman. No. That would not do. He only belonged to her. He only loved her. Sure, he was refusing to admit that right now, but she wasn’t planning on giving up on them soon. She would make him hers, no matter what price she had to pay.With that determination in her heart, she sucked in another deep breath
