As we stepped into the house, I was immediately greeted by the staff, all of whom were eager to attend to my needs. My dry cleaner helped me out of my jacket and shoes, while Quinn walked ahead, her footsteps quiet on the stairs.

I quickly caught up to her, my eyes fixed on the gentle sway of her hips. As we reached the top of the stairs, I reached out and lightly tapped her on the shoulder. "Spend the night with me?" I asked, my voice low and hopeful.

She paused, her eyes searching mine as she turned to face me. I held my breath, unsure of how she'd respond. I wasn't used to making requests, especially not ones that felt so personal.

But I couldn't help myself. I wanted her beside me, wanted to feel her warmth and her presence. And so I added, "I might need a little help," raising my arms to remind her of my injuries.

    QUINN'S POVI trudged out of Mr. Plier's class, feeling drained. The last three-hour test had been consuming, and I was relieved it was over. As I emerged into the bright sunlight, I squinted, taking a deep breath of the fresh air.My classmates were scattered around the courtyard, chatting and laughing. I spotted a few familiar faces, but most of them were avoiding eye contact. I couldn't blame them; I had been absent from school for three weeks, and it was clear that I had missed out on a lot, but luckily they went on a two-week class trip.As I made my way through the crowd, I felt a sense of isolation. I didn't really have any friends at school, just acquaintances and classmates. I had always been too busy with work and other responsibilities to really connect with anyone.Just then, I spotted Jasper leaning against his car, parked across the street. He was staring at me intently, a smirk playing on his lips.My heart sank, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. What was he doing h

I had a meeting with my team in an hour, and I still needed to finalize the presentation.But my thoughts kept drifting back to Quinn. I picked out the red velvet box in my drawer, exposing the 5-carat, limited edition diamond ring shining in it's purest form. It cost more than a fortune and my Queen deserves even more.

Seeing her with Bryan, knowing she was caught up in his web of lies... it made my blood boil.As I sat there, the realization that I had overstepped dawned on me. Quinn wasn't ready to hear the truth, and now I had ended up scaring her away from me. I thought about getting out of the car and following her, but something held me back.Instead, a thought ran across my mind. I pulled out my phone and dialed a number. "Hey, I need a favor," I said, when the person at the other end picked it up. "I want you to deliver a gift to Ms. Quinn. Something to apologize for my behavior earlier.""Okay boss, what will you have us curate for her?" the caller asked.I sighed, running a hand through my hair. I knew I had to do things right, but I wasn't sure how to start.It wasn't like I had lied. Bryan always had a thing going on with the ladies in that pos

    "You can't turn me down, Quinn," he started. The spark in his eyes suddenly disappeared."I thought we could do this the usual way, but I guess I was wrong." He slipped the ring back into his pocket, his eyes flashing with anger.I felt a sweat run down my back the moment he turned and walked away. My heart, pounding in my chest like a drum. Bryan had just proposed to me, and I couldn't believe it.My inner heart was squealing with excitement, but my mind wouldn't stop warning me about the dangers to come. I wish things were in a different context.I scanned the environment, taking in the luxurious rooftop setting one last time before making my exit. It was indeed beautiful.As I stepped out of the restaurant, I was greeted by three black cars carefully parked at the entrance. Bryan was sitting in the back seat of the first car, his eyes fixed intently on me."Get in!" he ordered, his voice firm and commanding.I hesitated, unsure of what to do. He looked furious, and I didn't want to

    MATT'S POVI stepped out into the cool evening air, desperate to clear my head. I lit a cigarette, taking a long drag as I paced back and forth. But my frustration got the better of me, and I muttered under my breath, before smashing it to the ground and dusting my hands.Just as I was starting to calm down, I felt a light tap on my back. Startled, I turned around to see Eva standing behind me."Hey," I called out softly, my eyes searching hers for some sign of whatever had brought her out here. Over the past few weeks, I had given up trying to apologize to her. Some people, you just don't get off their bad books, you know.She handed me a spare cigarette, and I took it gratefully as she lit both our smokes.She took a long drag on her cigarette, blowing out a stream of smoke that wafted into my face."Saw you making a quick exit, so I followed," she remarked.I nodded, relieved that she was talking to me again.

    Jasper let out a triumphant yell. “YES ! Finally”I laughed as he pulled the car away from the curb, driving and all excited.He looked like a puppy who had been given a bucket of chicken bones to consume and couldn't wait to do so. It was cute.Soon as we arrived at his place …… I was struck by the grandeur. It was a magnificent building as well.“Welcome home," Jasper announced with a smile. "You’re free to stop by anytime” he turned around to help me out of the car. My cold feet touched the cold ground. "Hold on here", he signaled one of his staff. They quickly brought a pair of flip-flops for me.Glancing at my watch, I realized it was already past six. "He wouldn’t even care if I stayed past my time at work", my subconscious scoffed and I quickly put the thought behind me.Not going to lie. The fact that Bryan wasn’t speaking to me, kind of had an impact on me. But it was an impact I was willing to let go off.Jasper handed me a glass, the strong scent of the liquor wafted out. I

    I couldn’t break free from Bryan's grasp and, before I knew it, I was kissing him back. It was suffocating to some extent, but none of us wanted to break the tie that we created.Again, my subconscious yelled at me, trying to shake me of the trance-like state I was in. This isn't the reason you’re here, Quinn.She was right.I started to make an attempt to push him off, but it was too late. I heard a loud ripping sound of fabric. He had just torn my dress, exposing my skin to the cold air. Bryan’s hands flew to my back as he undid my bra. Then his lips moved to my neck. In one instance, I threw my head backward, giving him all the access he needed.His hands moved to my core, his fingers rubbing against it gently, sending shock through me. I knew I was lost. I gasped at the effect. My eyes met his gaze and he looked completely blown. His pupils were so dilated as he watched me moan.His lips moved to my boobs aggressively as he sucked on one of them, giving me a light bite. I cried o

    I woke up to an empty bed, my hands searching for any sign of Bryan. I had been so exhausted the night before, after showering and collapsing onto the bed. My body had been screaming for rest, and I had finally given in.As I lay there, I had felt Bryan come in later that night. He had pulled me closer to him, wrapping his arms around me and holding me tight. I had felt a sense of safety and security in his arms, and I had finally been able to drift off to sleep.But now, as I woke up to an empty bed, I felt a pang of disappointment. I had been hoping that Bryan would still be there, that we could spend the morning together.As I searched the bed for any sign of Bryan, my hands suddenly stopped moving. I looked up to see Bryan standing in front of me, a smile on his face."Good morning," he said, his eyes sparkling with amusement.I opened my eyes in shock, springing up from the bed. "Bryan!" I exclaimed, my heart racing with surprise.Bryan only laughed, his eyes crinkling at the cor

    As I spotted her, I caught her eyes and nodded subtly towards the backyard. She nodded back in understanding as we both slipped away from the crowd.Once we were outside, Eva turned to me, her expression serious. "I've been waiting for you to resume work for the longest," she said as her eyes scanned me with a mixture of concern and curiosity.I let out a small laugh, trying to downplay the severity of my injuries. "I'm better, Eva. Just a few bruises here and scratches."But she wasn't buying it. She rolled her eyes, and took a step closer to me. "Are you ready then to tell me what's happening? Who did this to you?" she demanded, her voice firm.I tried to brush it off, resorting to the same excuse I had given them earlier. "I had already told you guys, I got into a fight..."

    "Sir?" she called, poking her head into the room.I turned my attention towards her. "Yes? You can come in."She stepped inside, with a discreet envelope in her hand. "A courier just dropped this off, sir. It's marked 'urgent' and 'personal'."My eyes narrowed slightly as I took the envelope from her hand. It had my name typed on the front, but there was no indication of who had sent it or what it might contain."Thank you. That's all for now." I announced, dismissing her. She nodded and backed out of the room, closing the door softly behind her.I scanned the contents of the envelope, my expression darkened. "This is highly unacceptable. No, I wouldn't let her walk away from the agreement so easily."I picked up my phone and dialed my lawyer. "I need you to come to my office, right now.""Is everything okay, Mr Braxton?" His calm tone replied along the line."Well, if you get here now, you'll figure that out." I dropped the call.-----------------I spent the remaining few minutes pa

My mind, rummaging through different directions, each one even more calculating than the last."What's the point of having power if you can't control the ones who mattered?" I muttered to myself. "Very few people matter to me and I should be able to control them if so."Just then, there was a knock on my door. It was my secretary."Sir?" she called, poking her head into the room.I turned my attention towards her. "Yes? You can come in."She stepped inside, with a discreet envelope in her hand.

    I stood outside the sleek, modern building, checking the address on the piece of paper for what felt like the hundredth time. This was it – the office of Mrs. Stone, Jasper's lawyer.I took a deep breath, smoothing out my dress and mentally preparing myself for the meeting.As I pushed open the door, I stepped into an elegant lobby. The receptionist looked up from behind the desk, smiling politely."Can I help you?" she asked."I'm here to see Mrs. Stone," I replied, trying to sound confident. "I have an appointment."The receptionist nodded, typing something into her computer. "Of course, Mrs. Stone is expecting you.

    QUINN'S POVI watched Matt.A million questions flowed through my mind. He was lying. I didn't know how, but my instinct told me he was hiding something.Seeing his battered body made me want to puke. Who could have possibly done this to him? I thought back to our previous discussion.Could it be Jasper... or Bryan?Just because his story wasn't adding up, it seemed too convenient and too rehearsed.He tried to speak, his voice low, almost coming off as a whisper "Concerning our previous discussion, Quinn... permit me to take that back?"I narrowed my eyes, my grip on the ice pack tightening. "What are you talking about, Matt?" Matt's gaze fixed on mine, his eyes pleading. "About... what I said. I was mistaken. I didn't mean to—"My anger boiled over. "Mistaken?" I repeated, my voice rising. "You showed me a picture, Matt. You told me things. What are you trying to take back?""I…I just didn’t want you to end up with him."
