Michael got home to Amelia screaming at someone over the phone. At first, he planned on ignoring her, it was always the best way to avoid more problems. But after a while of listening in on the conversation, he had become intrigued and had decided to pay her some bit of attention."What do you mean it couldn't work out?! Do you know how much I paid for those people to come here? You better be playing a prank on me!" Amelia yelled at whoever she was speaking to on the phone. Michael remained hidden, piecing together every bit of information he could from the little sentences he heard. Could the people she was talking about be the ones he had spotted before? What was their purpose here? And what had Amelia paid them to do? And above all, who was she speaking to on the phone?"Don't give me that! I've done my part like you requested, the rest is up to you! I won't take any more risks because of your incompetence!" Amelia's voice pulled Michael out of his thoughts and back to the convers
His words had taken Amelia completely by surprise, but the sex had left her completely flabbergasted. She had questions at first, but after the good time she had just had, she had completely lost the strength to question him. But this had been unexpected, and she was still trying to wrap her head around everything. What happened to Michael? Why did he change all of a sudden?She laid on his chest, drawing imaginary figures on his abdomen while her mind rampaged with thoughts and speculations. "You're not playing me, Michael, are you?" Amelia asked softly, her attention still focused on the imaginary figures she was drawing on his body. She wanted to keep quiet, to enjoy this moment as much as she could. But her mind wouldn't just let her rest, there was no way she would be at peace without asking him that question."And what do I have to gain by playing you, Amy?" Michael returned, his tone equally calm. He threw his arms around her back and gently stroked her scattered hair. "I have
The last thing Olivia expected in the early mornings of work that day was to find out that her best friend was secretly associated with Amelia. It could mean nothing, but with the suspicions circling Amelia at the moment, Olivia had very high doubts about this completely meaning nothing. No, she didn't think it meant nothing. Amelia and Lisa didn't know each other as far as she was concerned, which meant that Lisa's contact info was saved on Amelia's phone for a reason.Olivia stared at the phone in front of her, unsure of what to make of it. She didn't want to believe that her own best friend was friends with someone who clearly despised her very existence. "Maybe it's just a little coincidence." She argued even though it was clear she was lying to herself. From the call log, Lisa was clearly one of Amelia's frequently contacted numbers. That couldn’t be a coincidence. "You're joking right? You don't seriously believe that, do you?" Michael asked, hoping that Olivia was genuinely p
Amelia rushed towards Lisa's apartment with an urgency she had never felt before. After what happened last night, she wanted nothing more than to get rid of Olivia. She needed to preserve what she had as much as she could, and at the moment, Olivia was the only person who could potentially ruin everything for her.Without caring to knock, she barged into the house to meet Lisa tangled up in the arms of a man she couldn't quite recognize. The sudden intrusion had the poor man up on his feet and scrambling to get dressed as quickly as he could. Lisa rolled her eyes tiredly before sliding a couple of notes towards the man who hurriedly ran out of the house. "You're living the life, aren't you?" Amelia teased as she locked the door behind the semi naked stranger. "A girl is gonna do what she gotta do." Lisa replied before throwing a coat over her naked body. She poured herself and Amelia two glasses of wine before returning to the living room. "What brings you here? And why did you ha
Lisa was the last person Damian expected to receive a call from. She knew the lady back when Olivia was married to Noah ten years ago, and he knew that she used to flirt around with his brother despite being Olivia's best friend. They never really interacted with each other, so receiving a call from her had been very surprising."What do you want?" He demanded coldly. As someone who used to be obsessed with Noah back in the days, Damian had already concluded that Lisa was an ally of her brother, probably sent by Noah to distract him or do something that would make him lose."There's no need to get so hostile all of a sudden, Damian. For now, I'm on your side." Lisa replied, but Damian wasn't particularly listening to what she had to say.Damian pinched the bridge of his nose as Lisa’s overly sweet voice grated on his nerves. “Cut with the weird suspense, if you have something to say, get on with it.”Lisa sighed dramatically, and even though Damian couldn't see her face he was more th
Lisa bit her lips hard, this was the worst possible outcome of what she had intended. Getting rejected wasn't the problem, the problem was the fact that she had just revealed her intentions to Damian and had gotten rejected. Even though she doubted Damian and Olivia were on good terms, it didn't negate the fact that Damian could go and spill her plans to someone else."What's wrong?" Amelia inquired sharply after noticing the panic and fear in Lisa's eyes. "He refused." Lisa answered subtly, her voice a direct contrast to the war she was fighting internally now. What if Damian said a word to Olivia? What if Olivia believed him? Worse, what if Damian told Noah?!She bit her lips even harder until they were at the verge of bleeding. "That bastard! He better not say a word about this to anybody." Lisa through gritted teeth and curled fists. "You don't think he'll say a word to anybody, do you?" Amelia inquired, panic surging through her. Her and Michael might have found love once again
First it was Michael, then Noah, and now Damian? Olivia had gotten scared, and now she could barely focus on the work in front of her. They had all told her to steer clear of her best friend, yet neither of them had given her enough reason to do that, nor had Lisa done anything bad enough for her to just cut ties with her. It was ridiculous, and the worst part of it all was the fact that she had let it get to her and her head. Now she couldn't sleep or close her eyes without imagining a scene where Lisa betrays her. Letting out a deep sigh, Olivia rose from her desk and proceeded towards the door. She needed a break, a quick one to clear her head from all the nonsense that was swirling round in there. Outside, she took a step towards Michael's office but stopped almost immediately. He hadn't spoken to her since she sent him away, and she doubted he would have the time and patience to tolerate her if she tried to speak on the Lisa matter again. Turning around, she made her way toward

Noah's legs remained steady on the acceleration pedal until he began to fear for his own safety. It was crucial that he got things done with Lisa before Olivia was done resting. She seemed to be suspicious of him already, the last thing he wanted was for her to wake up and discover that he was gone. Sure, he had a plethora of excuses he could give her, but after their last conversation he doubted she would believe any of them even if they were true. The normal twenty five minutes ride to Lisa's took only fifteen minutes, and Noah wasted no time in barging through the door. "Noah—" Lisa hadn't finished when Noah restrained her against the wall, his eyes red with fury, while his whole body trembled with rage. "What did I tell you about staying away from Olivia?" Noah thundered, his hands gradually tightening around Lisa's throat. "You're hurting me Noah! Stop!" Was all Lisa could say as she struggled to free herself from Noah's grip. She kicked, scratched and pushed, and although he
