"Goodnight, Peter," Kai said. Tiffany fastened her pace, walking into the building. Kai watched her for a while, before following behind.

The elevator opened and Tiffany walked in, staring at him. Her eyes met his evenly, searching his gaze. Her chest rose and fell heavily. The elevator door was still open. Kai walked in, slowly. His gaze never left hers.

Kai got in. But Tiffany kept watching him stare at her with his hands buried inside his pocket. Kai took careful steps and her body shook as she gasped in a silent ragged breath.

Tiffany’s heart pounded as she clutched her bag tighter, trying to keep her distance.

"Tiffany," Kai said softly. "You’re holding your breath." He paused, staring at her. "Again.” their eyes met. She slowly released her breath, hoping he hadn't noticed.

"I’m not," she lied.

Kai chuckled, low and knowing. "You always do when you’re nervous. You know, Love... I love catching you like this."

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   AFTERMATH.

    Noami closed the door behind her, without another word, she walked into her bedroom, shutting the door. Tiffany sighed. Her phone buzzed, and she took it out, staring at Kai's message. Kai: Goodnight. Love. See you tomorrow. She rolled her eyes, a soft smile curved into her face, and slowly she headed towards her bedroom when Noami’s door suddenly opened. "You two are dating or getting married?" She asked, staring at Tiffany in disbelief. "What—" Tiffany's eyes darted around, avoiding hers. "Oh, Kai... we aren't." "You kissed him, but you aren't dating?" Noami asked. Tiffany smiled, walking away.She shut her bedroom door behind her, leaning against it for a moment. The apartment was quiet again, but the conversation with Naomi lingered in her mind.Kai… She pulled out her phone, rereading his message. Her heart did an annoying little flip, but she ignored it, locking her phone and tossing it onto the nightstand.She changed into her pyjamas and slipped into bed, but instead of

    Kai said nothing, his gaze following her until she disappeared into the passenger seat. "Wedding? I had no idea I was getting married." Henry teased.Kai exhaled sharply, his icy-blue eyes narrowing. "Why the fuck are you here?" his voice was devoid of any semblance of warmth, but his gaze fixed on Daniel’s car driving away.Kai's office door shuts, and he walks to his chair, sitting exhaustedly. "What did you say?" He asked. "Your father Kai, he wants you to return to London... I know you aren't on the same page with your stepmother, but I think you should be there. I also heard that your uncle is writing his will..." "I don't care. I can't leave, I'm close to understanding Tiffany, I can't leave." "Are you sure you're okay? If you were going to go through all these stress why then divorce her? Kate is going to have it all, isn't that why you hired her in the first place?" Kai shot him a glare, his voice low and controlled. "I know, Henry. I know all of it." He exhaled deeply, g

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   THE UNSTOPPABLE EX.

    Tiffany crossed her arms, flashing him her most dazzling smile. "Why can’t it be both?" she replied, her voice sweet, flashing pleasant smile as if she was using her beauty to lure him, perhaps charm him indeed. Tiffany crossed her arms, her lips curving into a bright smile that sparkled with just the right amount of charm. "Why not both?" she said softly, her voice sweet but with a playful edge, as if daring him to argue.Kai chuckled, shaking his head. "It's almost midnight, Tiff. Come on, let me take you home. We can figure it all out in the morning.""No!" Tiffany blurted, her words tumbling out in a rush. "I can’t go home yet! I need to sort this out before eight, and my delivery company isn’t answering me. They took my deposit, Kai! But you can help me, right? Please?"Kai held up a hand, his calm voice steadying her. "Breathe, Tiffany. Slow down. You need a delivery company? I’ve got it covered. My guys will be here first thing tomorrow morning. But for now, let’s go home so w

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   AN UNINVITED GUEST

    AN HOUR BEFORE TIFFANY’S KNOCKKai barely got two hours of sleep before his alarm blared, dragging him back to reality. He groaned, rubbing his tired eyes, but there was no time to waste. Today was important. Tiffany was coming.The thought alone sent an electric pulse through his veins, jolting him awake.After a quick cold shower. Kai stood in front of his walk-in closet, scanning for the perfect outfit. He didn’t want to look like he was trying too hard, but he also wanted to make an impression. Something simple, sharp, and devastatingly effective.His hand moved instinctively, pulling out a fitted black polo shirt. He slipped it on, the fabric hugging his toned frame perfectly, accentuating his broad shoulders and muscular arms. His reflection smirked back at him in approval.Next, he chose a pair of tailored white shorts, balancing sharp sophistication with casual confidence. They fit just right but not too tight, but enough to hint at his strong legs.Kai walked to his dresser,

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   EX-WIFE IN THE ROOM.

    Halfway through their discussion, a voice rang out from the living room. "Kai darling, your wife is here!" Amelia’s tone was sugary, sweet, and laced with venom.Tiffany froze in place, her breath catching in her throat. Her feet instinctively turned to leave, the weight of that single sentence crashing over her like a wave. But before she could slip away, the door to Kai’s office swung open, and he rushed out, grabbing her hand firmly.The warmth of his touch sent shivers up her arm, but she quickly masked her reaction, her face neutral. The door clicked shut behind him, sealing them off from Amelia’s voice."Tiffany," Kai started, his lips curling into a soft, disarming smile, though tension flickered in his icy-blue eyes. He was scrambling for an explanation, but the truth loomed heavy in his mind. *Tell her the truth. It’s the only way to fix this.* He swallowed hard, steeling himself."I didn’t know you had company," Tiffany said, her voice steady but distant. "I can come back la

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   COFFEE OR TEA.

    Tiffany arrived at the police station, stormed out of Kai’s car, and rushed in. As she got in, she found Ginna, her supposed partner who was supposed to help deliver her goods. Ginna was a friend back in the days when she was a stripper. How could she have done this to her? Scammed her? Tiffany approached carefully. As she took each step, Ginna's face was slowly being revealed. Finally, she stood beside her. "Ginna?" She called with disbelief. Ginna looked up at her. Shock rushed through her veins, seeing Tiffany with tear-filled eyes looking down at her. Ginna froze, almost as if she had seen a ghost. "Tiffany, what are you doing here?" The officer looked up at Tiffany. "Miss Halton?" But Tiffany’s gaze was burning, staring at Ginna. "This isn't what you think—" "I called her. She's a victim, too." "Give me my money!" An elderly woman cried. Tiffany scoffed, looking around. She wasn't the only victim, but what surprised her was the old woman she had also scammed. Ginna bare

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   YOUR WOMAN.

    Before she could get a grasp of what was wrong. Kai moved, her steps closing the distance between them in an instant. One hand slid to the back of her head, his fingers threading through her hair with a grip that pulled her heartstrings. The other found her waist, pulling her to him with a force that made her tremble like a leaf.Her lips crashed into his, the kiss anything but gentle. It was consuming, desperate, possessive. Her chest tightened as she struggled to keep up, to even think. He kissed him like she was trying to prove something like she was claiming something all her own. His grip on her didn’t waver, and for a moment, it felt like the whole room had disappeared. But as Tiffany’s breath came faster, her chest heaved against his. Gosh, he wasn't giving her time to think or catch her breath. Tiffany stared at Kai in disbelief, but resistance faded with each second. Her arms slipped around his neck, her body pressing closer, giving in inch by inch.Kai’s grip tightened as

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   YOUR OBSESSED MAN

    "I'm sorry if I can't stay away from you," Kai's voice echoed with longing. "You weren't picking up my calls, love." "Yeah? I was busy at the mall with Noami," Tiffany replied, her tone casual, but her heart raced at the sound of his voice. Ever since she made that silly confession. Kai wasn't holding back. There were flowers and a series of text messages, and even his visit had become almost unbearable, especially to Noami. "Do you need me to pick you up?" He offered, his voice filled with concern. But was it really a concern? "Aren't you busy?" she asked, hesitating. "It's fine, really. We already got a taxi," she added quickly, glancing around the taxi, making sure she didn't miss her stop. "Just call me when you’re home, baby," Kai said, his tone more insistent this time. Tiffany hummed, agreeing before she hung up. She took a deep breath, turning to glance at Noami, who sat beside her. But Noami remained silent, a playful smirk dancing on her lips as her eyes sparkled with

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   GLORIOUS THREATS

    Kai arrived at his father’s mansion. He stepped out of the car, straightening his linen blazer as he strode toward the entrance. The butler opened the doors before he could knock, as if they had been waiting for him. The tension hit him the moment he stepped inside. The dining room was spotless, the long mahogany table set with crystal glasses, and silver cutlery. But it wasn’t the lavish setting that caught his attention as Conrad stepped out, joining his father and then, Kate. Nolan's graying hair was combed neatly. He wore a white polo and trousers with his sharp gaze finally shifting to him. "You're back? Peter told me you were on a vacation. Did you go with Tiffany?" He asked, but Kai carefully watched the setting of the room. Kate sat beside him by his right where his mother usually sat before her death with a glass of red wine in hand, her manicured fingers wrapped around it. She was dressed in an elegant cream-colored dress, her blonde hair cascading over one shoulder.

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   WHISPERS OF DAYLIGHT

    The golden shade of the sunset melted into the deep blues of the ocean as Kai and Tiffany lay entwined on the plush lounge chair. The warm evening breeze carried the scent of something sweet. The lingering aroma of wine from the chilled bottle resting beside them. Tiffany's body molded against his, her head tucked into the crook of his shoulder, her fingers lazily tracing patterns on his chest. The soft fabric of his shorts brushed against her thigh as their legs tangled together. "This is what you mean by a date? I love the wine though," Tiffany said. Kai’s hand rested on her back, his thumb moving in slow, absentminded strokes. His gaze, however, was fixed on the fading sun reflecting in his deep blue eyes. He exhaled in deep content, his body fully at ease in her presence. "You’re quiet," Tiffany said, her voice hushed, as if afraid to disturb the stillness of his moment. Kai’s lips twitched into a smile as he turned slightly, his cheek brushing against her forehead. "I

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   WANT TO BE YOURS

    Tiffany’s knees buckled, her breath coming in short, ragged gasps. Her entire body trembled as the horrifying image burned into her mind—Kai, gone. A world without him, a reality where he ceased to exist. The thought was unbearable, suffocating, ripping through her like a storm she couldn’t escape.Before her mind fully registered it, she was running. The chaos of the street blurred around her, the sharp scent of burning rubber stinging her nose. The metallic crunch of metal colliding rang in her ears as another car slammed into the truck then another. Tires screeched, horns blared, voices shouted in panic.She barely noticed the people around her, only seeing the spot where he had stood. The white car, the rising smoke, the confusion swallowing the street whole.Then, suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her wrist, yanking her back just as another vehicle skidded dangerously close."Let me go! Kai!" Tiffany’s scream tore through the air, her voice raw

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   TANGLED QUESTION.

    Tiffany shifted uncomfortably as she stepped onto the festival grounds. The moment she and Noami had arrived, she realized it wasn’t quite as grand as she had imagined."If I had told you this was a horrible idea you would have called me homesick." The banners fluttered lazily in the warm afternoon breeze, their colours slightly faded. Stalls lined the streets, offering small trinkets and local food, but the crowd was sparse, mostly made up of families and elderly couples strolling leisurely. The energy was subdued, far from the vibrant escape she had envisioned.Tiffany glanced at Noami, who was already chewing on a piece of fried dough from a food stall. "This isn’t exactly the ‘run away and get lost’ kind of festival you sold me on."Noami swallowed her bite and smirked. "That’s because it’s daytime. The real fun starts at night." She gestured around. "Right now, it’s all warm and cosy, but later? Lights, music, dancing... I mean trust me, it’

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   RESTING BEACH

    Tiffany lay on the beach chair, staring at the waves in the early hours of the morning. It was barely bright enough, but Kai's question lingered in her mind, keeping her awake.He grumped low. "Marry me... Will you marry me, Tiffany? No contract. Just you, only you. Please marry me."The worst part? She had just came on him. That was the last thing she had expected him to say, but he did, and her mind was struck by the unexpected bullet. Even now, she had no one to call but her mother. The phone picked up, and her mother's voice echoed out.Tiffany glanced at her phone, realizing she'd been dialling her mother's number for the last ten minutes, lost in thought."Mom?" There was no sound on the phone. Suddenly, she heard something drop and then everywhere went silent. Tiffany took a deep breath. She must have tossed her phone to the floor. After a moment of silence, she inhaled. "Mom, he asked me to marry him

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   RAIN AND CAR RIDES

    As Kai drove out of the parking lot, the heavy rain drummed against the car’s windows, the rhythmic sound was soft. Tiffany's breath mingled with the low hum of the car, the quiet space filled with the sound of the rain tapping against the glass. Despite the storm, there was a sense of desire. Kai parked the car in a secluded spot. He quickly got rid of his tie, his eyes locked on Tiffany as she reached for him, pulling him close. Her lips crashed against his deep, urgent, and hungry. The kiss was fiery, like they were starved for each other. Tiffany’s hands slid over his chest, moving lower and Kai groaned softly, his hands catching hers.A low, breathy laugh escaped his throat. "Relax, love. I'm all yours." His voice was a husky whisper, and their gazes met for a heartbeat raw and intense. "Take off your panties right now and give them to me."Tiffany didn't hesitate. She slipped them off and handed them to him, her fingers brushing his as she

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   HEATED THEATRE

    Tiffany stood in front of the mirror, smoothing out the fabric of her flowing red dress. The soft material clung to her in all the right places, the strapless cut baring her shoulders and the delicate curve of her collarbone. Tiffany ran her fingers over the material, smoothing out nonexistent wrinkles as she took a deep breath. As she fixed her earrings, Kai walked in looking dashing as ever. He was leaning against the doorway, arms crossed, eyes dark as they roamed over her. His lips twitched at the corners, softness flickering behind his gaze. "You look breathtaking," he murmured, pushing off the frame and stalking toward her.Tiffany felt a warmth spread across her chest, her pulse quickening, but she masked it with a soft laugh. "You too, darling." She whispered as he reached her, his hands skimming her waist before settling on her hips. His touch was firm and entirely distracting.Kai tilted his head, his lips grazing her jaw before pressing soft kisses down her neck. A shive

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   SPA WITH A MIX—

    The morning light spilled through the curtains. The cool breeze whispered through the open balcony doors. Tiffany stirred, her body aching slightly and her muscles tender from last night. She let out a soft hum, stretching lazily beneath the silky sheets.Kai ’s arm was draped over her waist, his grip loose, his face nuzzled against her neck. Tiffany turned slightly, watching the slow rise and fall of his chest, the way his lashes laid against his eyes, and his hair covering his forehead, giving him a boyish look. His lips slightly parted in sleep. A smirk tugged at her lips as she recalled how desperate he had been and his pleas last night. Carefully, she slipped out from under his arm, suppressing a wince the moment she sat on the bed. As she got up, her legs wobbled beneath her. She padded towards the en-suite bathroom, her body glowing with a satisfied exhaustion. She took a glance in the mirror, staring at her flushed cheeks, tousled hair and her lips still swollen from Kai’s

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   MIDNIGHT FANTASIES

    The Hawaiian breeze drifted through the open balcony doors, carrying the scent of salt and hibiscus into the dimly lit bedroom. The soft rustling of palm trees outside was nothing compared to the sound of Kai’s ragged breaths as he lay sprawled on the bed, his wrists bound to the headboard with silk scarves. Tiffany straddled him, a wicked smirk curving her lips as she dragged her nails down his chest, revelling in the way his muscles tensed beneath her touch."You look so good like this," she murmured, her fingers tracing the taut lines of his abdomen, deliberately avoiding the one place he wanted her most. Tiffany leaned down, teasing him with her breath before finally capturing his lips in a deep and searing kiss. Kai groaned into her mouth, trying to chase her when she pulled back, but the silk restraints kept him in place.Tiffany trailed her hands down his chest, her fingertips barely grazing his skin, making him shudder beneath
