“What are you doing here?” My voice came out in a breathless whisper, shock rendering me immobile.

Xander was in my apartment, perched on a chair as if he'd been waiting forever. His disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes told a story of their own. He was still wearing the shirt from earlier, now stained with sweat, as if he’d thrown it on in a rush after our... encounter. But if he was in such a hurry, why hadn't he followed me? Why was he here now, looking like someone I barely recognized?

He didn’t answer. Instead, he toyed with a loose thread on his sleeve, eyes cast downward.

“Answer me, Xander!” I demanded, my voice rising. I wasn’t in the mood for one of his games, but there was something off about him. Something... different.

Finally, he spoke, his voice low. “As you were running after David, I asked you something. You never gave me an answer.”

My shoulders relaxed, just a little. “His name is Daniel.”

“And I don’t give a fuck what his name is,” Xander snapped, his voice sud

    Bella I spun around just as the door flew open, and the sight before me made my heart drop. There she was—Lilian—bound and gagged, struggling to speak but only managing muffled, frantic noises. A huge man with a buzzcut was dragging her inside, his muscles bulging as if they could snap her in half. He was trailed by a much smaller, wiry man, nervously shifting his weight from one bony arm to the other, his tank top a strange choice for someone so frail. “Here she is,” Buzzcut announced, tying Lilian to a chair with a roughness that made me wince. Xander slipped his phone back into his pocket, nodding in approval like this was the most normal thing in the world. “What’s... what’s the meaning of this?” I stammered, confusion and horror swirling inside me. “Why is she... Oh my God, is that her bone sticking out of her leg?” I gasped, the sight turning my stomach. “She’s the one who sabotaged my dad’s company,” Xander said, his tone cold. I shot him a glare. “You mean my compa

The woman beside me, who I'd just kissed, was smiling widely, her eyes dancing with amusement."Don't even think about saying anything," I snapped, but I knew she wouldn't care."You really know how to put on a good show," she chuckled, her voice light, teasing."Oh, shut up.""Is that how you treat a woman you just kissed so passionately?" she mocked, her expression exaggerated, almost playful.I didn't respond.

    Daniel Scarlet Vine loomed before us as we stepped out of the car, its neon sign pulsing in the night like a heartbeat. A club for the elite, it was said that a night with one of its infamous escorts could cost more than a middle-class man earned in six months. Courtney slipped her arm through mine as we approached the entrance, her touch light but possessive.“Please protect me from the men in there, Tom Cruise,” she teased, her voice laced with irony.I ignored her, keeping my eyes ahead. We navigated through the throngs of dancers on the floor. A tall man in dark glasses materialized without uttering a word. He nodded for us to follow, and we did, threading our way through the maze of bodies until he led us to a secluded game room.The room was empty, save for the remnants of someone else's night—a pool table with a triangle of balls still in place, a table tennis setup with the net discarded, and empty cups scattered across the surface, the aftermath of a game of beer pong.

    Bella I looked into her eyes, and they were desperate and filled with lust. His shiny blue eyes glowed in the dark from the little bit of light that peeped into the completely dark room through the window blinds. It was obvious that she knew her way around his body from the way she moved her hands around his muscular chest and arms. I saw his hardness throb from underneath his suit trousers. He wanted her, and he wanted her badly. “You're so beautiful, Beth. You're the only woman I've ever wanted,” he whispered, but loud enough for me to make out the words. “Then why aren't you getting married to me instead?” She asked shamelessly. There was no atom of regret or remorse in them as he tore the zipper of her black bridesmaid dress. When she showed up in a black dress instead of the blue color we agreed on, I should have known that she was up to no good. Wait! He was never this big with me. He's huge! I always thought I could never get everything I ever wanted in a man, phys

    Bella“Hey, the guests are waiting,” she said to me innocently and in the sweetest voice possible. I couldn't believe her nerve. How she could walk in here, all pretty, and act like she didn't just stab me in the back several times. Not a speck of guilt. “I'll be there in a minute,” I answered, trying to avoid her gaze so she wouldn't see my bloodshot red eyes from all the crying. I was unsuccessful. “Are you alright?” She tried to look at me from the side, stretching her neck. “Yeah, I'm okay. Just a little something in my eyes. Where's Dad? I thought he was supposed to come walk me down the aisle.” “Oh, right. I'll get him,” she said, walking out of the room and slowly closing the door. I noticed her legs couldn't close as she walked. When you take in something that big, I guess that's what happens. Dad walked in, looking very smart in his brand new black suit. I had never seen him in any of those, and even though they weren't as fitted as they should be, he looked great in t

    BellaA cold demeanor had engulfed him, and his eyes grew red in anger. “The wedding must be held!” He shouted. “Calm down, honey. I'll talk to her, okay?” I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My mouth just wouldn't close as I looked at both of them one after the other. “Baby, we need this marriage. We are going bankrupt, and this is the only way,” mom explained in a gentle manner. “What? That's all it was for you? A business venture? This is my life for fuck's sake!” I said it sharply. My chest fell and rose as my sadness quickly turned into anger. "Look, young lady,” Dad blurted. “You better not ruin this for me. Don't be so selfish! This is not all about you.” “Selfish? Dad, if there's anyone who's being selfish, it's you!” My dad seethed, and he opened his mouth to say something, but my mother interrupted him. “Darling, what about the company? We will be destroyed, and you don't even have a job yet because you're still in college. Your sister isn't making a lot. How will

    BellaHe took the wine from me and hurriedly gulped down the rest, with me still glued to his body. I couldn't wait anymore, so I covered his mouth with mine, and he received my tongue happily. I slid my hands into the opening of his shirt and massaged his shoulders and chest gently. I could taste the wine in his saliva, and I swallowed it without thinking, enjoying every moment of this. He slowly unzipped my dress, and it fell freely to the floor. I was thankful for the kind of dress I had gotten because it made the session fast-paced and enjoyable. My breasts were free, and he gasped at the sight. “Oh, Bella. How could someone be careless with you?” I moaned as he grabbed one of them and squeezed it lightly. He circled my nipples with one of his fingers while kissing me. “How did he know my name?” In a minute, his lips left mine and traced their way from my neck to my chest to my nipples. “Mmm,” I moaned in fulfillment as he sucked and licked. My nipples grew pink and hard

    BellaI paused the process of putting on my dress and turned back suddenly to face him, almost choking on my own saliva. “Ri—Rivera?” I stammered, looking him straight in the eye. The dark smile was still there, but this time, it wasn't romantic anymore. It was frightening. “Are you a distant cousin?” I asked, my voice trembling. Please, no more nauseating surprises today. My heart was already pounding fast. “I'll save you the trouble,” he said, standing up and dropping the money I had just given him on the center table. “I'm a son of the Rivera family. The first son, to be precise.” He started putting on his clothes as he spoke. “What do you mean, son? I thought—” “You thought wrong. Don't worry, I'm nothing like my brother, Hardin. You won't get in trouble,” he shot at me assuredly, interrupting my statement. There were many rumors regarding the first son of the Rivera family. Some say he is dead. Others say he left his family to go start his own company in another city after

    Bella“You pushed me away like you always do, Xander. You make me feel like I’m someone to you, then trash me. I’m a woman and I have needs. I want surprise flowers and a new dress with a note that says, ‘Dinner at nine’. Daniel was there for me. It’s the least I can do.” I said all of that in one breath before dashing out. I made for Daniel’s house, speed walking without taking a single moment to see how Xander reacted. I kept scratching my hair like I had lice. The rain wasn't helping either. I was drenched but it didn’t matter. I didn’t know what I was going to say to him when I found him. I just wanted to look into his eyes and feel them.I didn’t have to walk too far. I stopped at the glass doors to the popular bar. I watched him take a huge gulp of his cheap beer before yelling at the bartender to get him three more. What had I done? I broke him.“Daniel, I didn’t know you drank,” I said in a low voice, standing a little away from where he sat at the bar counter. He didn’t look

    Bella“Ma’am?” Rita, Xander’s assistant, called out to me, and it looked like she had been watching me for a while but I was so lost in thought that I didn’t notice. “What are you doing here? You have someone here as well?”Thank goodness she gave me the sweetest lie ever. All I had to do was nod slowly in agreement. Nana was someone to me too so it wasn’t really a lie.I gave off a sigh of relief. I should have known Xander was never one to give away flowers to random women. I gave her a quick smile and turned to leave. I couldn’t face Nana after lying on her grave and I didn’t have any flowers to offer too.“You’re leaving?” Rita called out. She clearly wasn’t someone who knew how to mind the business that paid her and that was to drop off the flowers.“Yeah, I remembered that I left something really important at the office. I’ll need it tomorrow. You know how the boss gets.”I didn’t really forget anything at the office but I wanted space and I didn’t want to go home. Lately, the a

    Xander“Hi Xander,” the private investigator I had hired two days ago, said over the phone. “We have found the person who sabotaged your wife’s company. What should we do with her?”A woman, huh? I didn’t think it would be a woman. I pulled the phone away from my ears slowly. “Maybe Beth?” I thought, peering out the window. I thought it was Hardin for sure. I guess I judged too quickly.Whoever it was, I decided that I had to teach her a lesson. Just a small one to teach her and everyone else, to stay away from my woman. “You know what to do. Hand her over to my men and they’ll take it from there."I hung up the phone and dialed another number immediately. “They’ve found her. I want her alive but in a state that will please me. If she can still walk, you’re fired.”I was about to leave the office when Hardin pushed the door open and walked in. He appeared furious but I really didn’t care. “What?” I asked him, grabbing my keys off the desk. I had somewhere to be and I could sense that

What are you teaching your employees?"What the..."It's only a few minutes after—""It doesn't matter. I see you grew lazy when you stopped working for Versa Link.

I took my seat at the designated area and took a deep breath.I was about to open my laptop when the doors opened and he walked in. He was late by a minute. I squinted my eyes at him but I couldn't afford to let my emotions show so I fixed my face."Good morning everyone. You are all aware that Versa Link now has control over Rivera group.

What was he trying to get out of me? “He’s one of the best people on our team.” I really hoped that was going to cut it. “He’s hardworking and intelligent and—” “I have a head of operations myself and as you know, I don’t employ lazy or unintelligent people. Mine will serve excellently.” Damn it! “Unless there’s another reason why—” “I can’t, Xander. He has been loyal to the company. He stuck with us through the good and bad. I can’t just kick him out. That will be utterly unfair.” My palms were already sticky from the sweat I produced in the well ventilated room. This man drove me crazy. How do I tell Daniel that he's fired from the company? I hope Xander changes his mind and there’s some humanity in that broad chest. He stood up and buttoned his suit. “I have a meeting soon so make this quick.”
