QUINN'S POVAs I walked out of class, feeling relieved that the grueling test was finally over, I noticed a stranger leaning on my car. He was wearing dark glasses and a face cap, which seemed unusual, especially since it wasn't even sunny outside. I approached my car, wondering what this guy wanted. I honked the horn, expecting him to move, but he didn't seem to be bothered. Instead, he remained leaning on my car, his eyes fixed on me.That was when I recognized him. "Clark? What are you doing here?" I asked, surprised. He pushed off from the car and stood up straight, his eyes still hidden behind his glasses.Nice car, Quinn," Clark said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I see you're doing well for yourself. Caring boyfriend, new car...you're really living the high life, aren't you?"Suddenly, my phone buzzed, breaking me from my mini thought.I answered the phone, and Eva's voice was filled with concern on the other end. "Quinn, have you heard from Matt? I've been trying to reach h
QUINN'S POVAs I walked out of the school cafeteria, I felt a very uneasy feeling lingering around me.I couldn't help him but wonder what lay ahead of me today Just as I was about to step out into the bright sunlight, my phone rang, shrill and insistent. I hesitated for a moment before answering it."Hello?" I said, my voice cautious."Quinn, this is Dispatch," a voice said on the other end of the line. "I have an item for you. It's marked urgent."My heart skipped a beat as I wondered what could be so urgent. "What is it?" I asked, my curiosity asked."I'm not at liberty to disclose that information over the phone," the dispatcher replied. "But I need to meet with you in person. Can you tell me where you are?"I hesitated for a moment before responding. "I'm at school," I said finally. "But I'm not sure if it's a good idea to meet here.""It's the only place I can meet you right now," the dispatcher insisted. "Please direct me to your location."I sighed inwardly, wondering what I h
BRYAN'S POVI stood there, my eyes fixed on Jasper as he dropped the bombshell. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Jasper, the man I had considered a friend and business partner, had been harboring a secret grudge against me?"I was hurt too by this same girl," I spat, my voice laced with anger. "She had a French boyfriend all along! She played me, Jasper, she played us both!"Jasper's face turned red with rage, and he took a step closer to me. "I told you how much I loved her!" he screamed. "I told you how much she meant to me. Yet what did you do? You openly flirted with her, released yourself to her, not minding one bit of how I felt. You didn't even care that you were hurting me."I felt a surge of defensiveness, but Jasper's words struck a chord inside of me. I had been so caught up in my own feelings that I hadn't stopped to consider how my actions might have affected Jasper."But then, Camille is all in the past," I said, trying to reason with him. "Why hold on for so long?
QUINN'S POVI sat in Bryan's office, my heart racing with anticipation. I had already made up my mind to accept his proposal, but I was determined to set some boundaries.Minutes later he arrived, appearing as though he was in a rush trying to get here. "Hey" he called, trying to settle in.The moment he settled down, I started..."I'll do it," I said, my voice firm. "But I have one condition."Bryan looked up from his desk, a hint of a smile playing on his face. "What's that?" he asked, his tone curious."I won't promise to obey you blindly," I said. "I'll participate in the week, but I'll also maintain my autonomy."Bryan leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowing as he considered my condition. For a moment, I wondered if I had made a mistake."Very well, then" he said finally. "I accept your condition. But...I do not like to be disobeyed. So, there's a limit still." I felt a shiver run down my spine as I processed Bryan's words. Hoping this doesn't turn out to be a week full of
As we drove, I couldn't help but notice..." You're driving today?" I asked, he nodded, a small smirk playing on his lips. "Yes, just the two of us."In that instance, his hands grazed my thighs, squeezing them lightly, and I jerked, my body reacting to his touch. I felt a flutter in my chest. Bryan's eyes locked onto mine, and I could see the understanding in his gaze. He knew exactly what had happened. My face grew hot from the embarrassment."You look a little jumpy today. What's wrong?" He raised an eyebrow, his eyes sparkling with amusement.I shrugged, trying to play it cool. "I don't know. Maybe it's just the idea of riding with you after a while." Or maybe it was the proposal we had discussed earlier. This whole spending a week with Bryan. I couldn't quite put my finger on it.He flashed me a nod and turned on the music. "I hope this helps you relax," he said, in a soothing.I looked away, snuggling deeper into the jacket. I was slightly away from Bryan, but I could still f
His mouth wandered down to my breasts, working on my nipples. I could feel his hot breath dancing across my skin, making my nipples even more erect. I arched my back, granting him greater access, and he took full advantage of it.His tongue continued to swirl around my nipples. I tried to grab him by the shirt, but he was too quick. With one hand, he pinned both of mine above my head, rendering me helpless.In a swift motion, Bryan scooped me up and carried me to the trunk of the car. He gently placed me on the glass windshield. My brain registered what was about to happen. Car sex? I had never experienced it before, and the thought of it sent a chill coursing through me.The confined space, the thrill of being caught, and Bryan's intense gaze all combined. I felt like I was on the edge of something new and forbidden, and Bryan was the perfect guide to take me there. ------------I felt his lips tracing a path down my thighs as he ascended, while working his way to my throbbing cat.
JASPER'S POVI walked into the room, my eyes fixed on Matt. He was sitting on a chair, his head hung low in shame."Look at me, Matt," I ordered, my voice firm.Matt slowly raised his head, his eyes meeting mine. I could see the fear and shame in his eyes."Do you know why you're here?" I asked, my voice low and demanding.Matt nodded, his eyes dropping to the floor. "I wasn't careful enough," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.I walked closer to him, my eyes blazing with anger. "You weren't careful enough?" I repeated. "You got caught by Bryan, Matt. Do you know how that makes me look?"He shook his head, his eyes still fixed on the floor. "I'm sorry, Jasper," Matt started, his voice shaking slightly. "I didn't mean to get caught.""I didn't know Bryan was going to be there that night," he explained. "I was just supposed to have some conversation with a friend, but then Bryan sighted me and...and everything just went wrong."I raised an eyebrow, my eyes narrowing. "You didn't
QUINN'S POVI 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
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

lSoon the driver arrived, and I got in, my mind still reeling from the event that had just happened.I pulled out my phone and started to dial Bryan's number. I was going to confront him but hung up on second thought.Maybe I should go to Eva, except that I didn't want to disturb her either. Besides, I'm not sure if she's ready to talk to me yet.I needed a distraction, something to channel this anger and frustration into. I spotted a small art studio nearby and quickly asked the driver to stop. I made my way inside. The smell of paint enveloping me, and calming my racing thoughts. It looked like a paint and sip recreational center, but it seemed quiet today.I settled in at a stand, picking up a brush and dipping it into a bright shade of blue. As I began to paint, I felt my tension slowly began to ease, replaced by a sense of calmness and focus.Just as I was getting lost in the creative process, my phone buzzed again. I hesitated, wondering if it was worth it. But as I looked ove
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..." But Eva wasn't having it.She cut me off mid-sentence. "Na-uh. You can tell that crap to Quinn, not me, Matt. I'm not daft!" She crossed her arms, her eyes flashing with annoyance.I raised my right hand in t
"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
BRYAN'S POVI leaned back in my chair with my fingers entwined together as I stared out of the window. 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. "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.

MATT'S POVI navigated through the crowded hallway of Eclipse, scanning the area for Eva. We needed to talk, and I'd been waiting for a chance to grab her attention.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 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. Please, take a seat, and I'll let her know you're here."I sat down in one of the plush chairs, flipping through a magazine I saw on the desk to distract myself. I came for something important – something that could change my entire life.After a few minutes, the receptionist called out to me. "Mrs. Stone will see you now."I stood up, taking a deep breath as I followed
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." He stammered, his eyes darting between Eva and I. "Yes, I got
