Skylar was very sure that Ivan had seen the sticky drool from her on his shoulder, and knew what it was, before he stood up and said they could leave without mentioning it. She couldn't understand why he was being so suddenly cool with everything she did, even if they were all out of her work ethic.

As much as she was relieved that he wasn't being grouchy about it, she couldn't help but be antsy that he was acting strangely. Even worse than the first time he made her so uncomfortable with his sudden luxurious giftings, treats, and misleading actions.

‘Oh! That was it!’

Skylar's head instantly made up a plausible qualifier of the scenario in her head, as she went down her memory lane of when he started acting like that also. Her heart shattered painfully, the more she thought of it in her head, and tried to understand it properly.

‘The first time that he was extremely nice to her to a suffocating extent was when they first unintentionally had sex, and things got quite awkward eve

    Skylar followed Ivan closely as they made their way into the art gallery as one of the guests, which was filled with an air of sophistication, and guests dressed in elegant attire, while holding glasses of champagne as they moved leisurely between the artworks.She watched as his eyes flickered from one masterpiece to the next, while trying to absorb the beauty and history that surrounded them. He had always had a keen interest in art, and she could see the way his eyes lit up as they moved from painting to painting. It was one of the rare times she saw him truly relaxed, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.As they reached the center of the gallery with Ivan deeply engrossed in one of the works he was looking at, a stunning lady suddenly approached them, her presence captivating and alluring. She was much taller, with flawless skin, striking features, and an effortless grace which exuded sophistication, which made her so stunning and charming at the same time. Her luxurious limite

    “Is it for real?! You are dating Skylar?!” Leo's loud voice almost blew Ivan's ears when he picked up his phone call, which he had initially rejected as a video call. He could not allow Leo to get to him again. “Screw off, Leo. Is that how to greet a friend?” Ivan cocked an eyebrow, knowing there was no way Leo would see that. “Why? Because I was right all this time?” Leo spoke with amusement, his lips stretching out in a broad grin. “Do you want me to date so badly? Or do you just have a penchant for making wild guesses and wrong speculations?” “I have not said yet. Have I? The news said it all!” Leo sounded so excited, sensing the growing frustration in Ivan even if he could not see him. “We are not dating,” Ivan finally revealed, tired of letting his friend's ideas run wild. “What did the news publish then? And why was she resting on your shoulders? In a rather romantic way at that? With your hand seemingly touching her cheeks?” Leo tweaked his voice in a way he knew got on

    “Why are you not asking me about the news?” Skylar, who was quite surprised that Amelia was not yelling or asking her about the news when she called, could not help but ask. Normally, she knew she wasn't the type to be patient with issues that revolved around Ivan. “Because I know it is some kind of misunderstanding or fake news. There is no way you're dating him,” Amelia answered flippantly, and Skylar could imagine the expression she would have on her face. “Why do you think so?” Skylar was perplexed that she was so assured that there was no way something of such could be, “We could be….” “How many times have I told you to stop being delusional, Sky?” Amelia cut in abruptly with a low scoff. “Can I not? Can I not want something even if it might not work out?” Skylar sounded bitter now, because her own friend's words were not different from the random ladies that were always the same about her too. “The earlier you step up your mind for reality, the better. And you have someon

    “Sir, I do not think this is the best time to travel together,” Skylar told Ivan, just at the moment when they were both ready to leave in his car for the conglomerate's private hangar. “Why?” He flashed her a questioning look that had bewilderment lingering in them. “Because of the rumors. We barely had it in control just a few days ago,” she gave him what felt like the suitable answer in her head, and not the one she had as an answer for herself. She wanted to be as far away from him as possible. “Trying so hard would only make people assume that we are trying to hide the fact that there is more. You just need to be professional as usual. Nothing special,” he responded with firmness and clarity, his eyes still looking for doubt at her expression. “But, sir,…….” “Not, buts, Sky. The plane leaves at twenty. Besides, it is not public. That makes it even better,” he got into the car instantly, which made her concede finally, as she drew in a short breath before getting into the

    As usual, the dimly lit bar vibrated with the low hum of conversations, the clink of glasses, occasional bursts of laughter, and pop music playing in the background, without overpowering the excited voices floating in the air. Behind the bar, Kali moved so deftly, pouring, shaking, and garnishing each cocktail, her every motion confident and precise as she mixed the perfect ratio of drinks to the line of patrons that were waiting to be served by her, whom she held the shortest conversations with. She was dressed in a free tight tank top that clung to her curves and big black shorts that hugged her waist just right. Her hair which was now dyed beige, was waxed flat, with a few loose strands framing her sharp, striking features. Her beautiful striking hazel eyes were cold and impenetrable as usual, as if daring anyone to try and look deeper or try to hold a dumb conversation with her. Finally taking a rest after having served for almost thirty minutes straight, she began wiping dow

    Skylar blinked, Ivan's sudden apology catching her off guard, “Sir?” she thought that she had heard wrongly. Ivan's eyes darted to the floor for a moment, as if gathering his thoughts, before meeting her eyes again, “For everything that has happened… for the trouble I might have caused you, I am sorry. I realized that this trip, the scandal, everything has put you in a difficult position, and I apologize for that,” his eyes mirrored sincerity as he spoke. Her breath caught in her throat as she heard him apologize, her mouth dropping open in shock, because she had not expected it at all. She had been so focused on maintaining her professionalism during the trip, and had been so wrapped up in her own confusion and emotions that she hadn’t considered that he might have been bothered too. Hearing him apologize and seeing regret linger in his eyes, made something within her stir even more, her heart skipping beats. ‘He cared. He genuinely cared enough to apologize,’ were words her head

    Slowly, Skylar kissed him with gentle pressure and soft caresses that sent shivers down Ivan's spine because he had not expected it, as the feel of her soft, warm lips against his, ignited a burning fire of suppressed emotions through his veins, and left him breathless with desire.Instantly he took charge, and grappled his lips between hers so ardently and fiercely, as the air between them seemed to vibrate with the intensity of their desire, and the heat of their bodies fusing. The rhythm of both lips dancing so passionately within one another gave them a delicious torment that left them both gasping for air, while drawing Ivan deeper into the intoxicating whirlpool of desire that he could not hold anymore. Skylar's toes curled to the ground when he pulled away from her lips and kissed her chin, to her cheeks, to her eyes, as a slight moan which she swallowed, struggled to escape her. His warm breath fanned her neck before his torturous lips kissed her neck, and she felt cold tin

    Skylar sat in the meeting she had attended with Ivan the next day at the newest branch of their company in Munich, Germany, while taking detailed minutes of every important point, decision, and action that was concluded in the meeting. And even as she tried to keep typing on the keyboard of her laptop, her mind would suddenly wander away, to the events of the night before, her heart fluttering with anxiety as well as excitement, and would skip several beats whenever she thought of it. The memory of his touch all over her body, the way his eyes had locked with hers, the bites, the pleasure, and everything he did to her, had her head up in the clouds, and had loitering effects on her body at the sight of him the next morning. She could still feel the crawling effects his breath on her neck, and his scent that lingered on her like a sweet intoxicating perfume. The night before, he gently told her that she should take her bath after she came back to her mind and suddenly became

    The lucent rays of sunlight permeating the room bashed the face of the young man sprawled on the bed, prompting him to subconsciously stir out of his sleep and instantly squint his eyes. A soft moan escaped him as his eyelids jumped open simultaneously, causing him to reflexively shut his eyes instantly the moment the rays of light seeping in through the drapes of the floor-to-ceiling windows assaulted his eyes. Instantly, he rolled his body to the other side and turned his face, before a low groan suddenly escaped him the moment a throbbing headache plagued his head. ‘Shit. Why did his head hurt this badly?’ Grayson wondered as he slowly tried to own his eyes again, and instantly brought his hand from his side to massage his temples as tenderly as it could. It was at that moment that he realized. The room he was in smelled of expensive liquor, faint perfume, and the remnants of a reckless night, causing him to compulsively turn to look at the other side where the light had been

    Ivan wanted to do something grand, so he took Leo's advice and decided to plan the biggest surprise package ever in a way that would make Skylar's heart move past whatever anger she had toward him. He hadn't even thought of it at all before. With a final tap on the screen of his laptop, he sent her a message that contained information about the luxurious six-star hotel that he wanted her to meet him at for a private rooftop dinner under the stars, and also had a custom-designed dinner dress and heels package sent to her door already.Anticipation of how everything would turn out perfectly at the very end of the date thumped through his heart as he confirmed the last minute appointment he made, which was going to be a drone display that would proclaim his true feelings for her. It was going to be the highlight of the date. And just right at the moment when a satisfied smirk tugged at the side of his lips, his private phone which was sitting on his dresser suddenly began to vibrate, a

    The main door of the mansion slammed so hard with a force that threatened to fall off behind Grayson, as he stormed out of the mansion the moment he left his mother's sight with so much anger coursing through his veins. His balled fist trembled with repressed fury and his face scrunched up in a mask of steaming rage, as he made his way toward the sleek black car that he parked outside in front of the mansion. He got behind the driving wheel, ignited it immediately, floored on the accelerator, and drove out of the mansion at a crazy speed, as his mother's words echoed in his head again and again. “Step out of your brother's shadow and prove that you are worthy of the responsibility and her.”“Damn it!” He cussed angrily and hit his steering wheel angrily as he drove, unable to even think of where to go. ‘His mother had given him the worst option ever! How could she toil with his emotions like that?! How could she tell him to take over HAVAN so that he could keep a woman?’ ‘As muc

    With a heavy heart, Skylar sat motionless in her chair all day, her gaze fixed on the same spreadsheet she had been pretending to work on for hours, with her mind far away from what was even going on around her. She had expected to see him a few hours later, after she thought that the storm concerning his mother proposing the most ridiculous idea must have passed, because the news that the votes turned against her quickly went like wildfire in the company. She anticipated that he would come back so that she would have the chance to explain herself, but it didn't seem like it at all. He didn't return till she clocked out late at night. The emptiness in her chest grew heavier and sadness seeped into her bones as she walked out of her office, her footsteps heavy on the quiet halls of the building, like her thoughts were drowning out of the world around her. As Skylar sauntered out of the main building, the cool night air kissed her puffy cheeks, but it did little to clear the haze c

    Skylar was seated behind her work desk, motionless and absent-minded, as her fingers remained limp against the keyboard. In her heart was a heaviness that she couldn't even speak of, and it ached with the pain of confrontation that she had just endured. She couldn’t focus at all. The memory of Ivan's angry face that flashed at her the moment he entered the room refused to evade her, and his accusatory words that hinted at frustration and disappointment made her heartache. Nothing even hurt more than the fact that he didn't wait to hear her explain herself. He was just mad that she had met Grayson. “I can explain what happened,” she fought with her shaky voice as she tried to explain herself, but he had been too mad to even listen. “So you have been meeting him behind my back?! Since when?! And why?! Is that why you have been giving me an attitude for almost two days now?” He raged at her with words that slammed her heart against a wall with excruciating force, as her eyes watered

    A man burst through the double doors of the executive hallway, his shoes thudding against the polished marble floor as he sprinted with a desperation that was fueled by panic, his hair disheveled and dampened with sweat. He barreled into the secretary’s office after an impatient knock, as he entered with the intention of informing Skylar of what was going on, only to come in direct contact with Ivan, who was also standing in the room. His steel-blue eyes flicked up in measured curiosity as the man skidded to a halt, narrowly avoiding slamming into a sleek leather armchair, almost melting as he tried to balance himself, barely catching his breath amid the suffocating tension that settled in the air. “Sir?” the man gasped, struggling to contain both his breath, almost stuttering, “Your…mother. No. I mean,” he shook his head in an attempt to correct himself, “Mrs. Hamilton is here.” Ivan, who still had flickers of rage scribbled over his face, arched a single eyebrow, with the fainte

    The restaurant they were seated in crackled with tension as Amelia's sharp gaze locked onto Carlos's, her arms crossed, and her lips pursed in a fiery scowl, “You don’t even call me anymore,” she snapped, her voice slicing through the charged air like a whip. “Is that why you asked to meet me early this morning?” Carlos stared at her in disbelief, wondering if that was all she had to say when she called and asked to see him so urgently at the restaurant that was nearest to his house. “Is that what I am saying, Carlos?! I said that you don't even talk to me anymore! You would have called if I hadn't,” her face scrunched up into a frown, unable to stand the fact that he was disregarding her concern. Carlos met her glare, his jaw tightening in repressed anger, “You said that it was what you wanted,” he countered, his tone calm but strained, as if walking a tightrope over a chasm of resentment. He couldn't even believe she would be asking him that. “You would have called regardless,”

    “Why?” Her eyebrows were raised in confusion, as she wondered why he was saying that. “The public announcement will be worth more,” he told her and skipped talking about it quickly, and she nodded slowly as if absorbing in bits what he meant. “Are you okay, though? You don't sound like yourself,” Carlos observed. Skylar pressed her lips together and shut her eyes for a moment, as she smiled again, “Yeah, I am fine,” she lied, “Just... tired. You know how it is.”“I get it,” Carlos sounded so concerned, “But if you need anything, you know I am here at your beck and call. And I mean anything,” he reminded her. Skylar felt a rush of gratitude in her heart because of his unmerited kindness towards her, and she couldn't help but be emotionally thankful at the moment, as she repeated, “Thank you, Carl. Thank you so much. You have been amazing, really. As soon as I am able to, I will take you out to eat. Anywhere you want. It is going to be my treat,” she promised. Carlos chuckled again

    In the silent hospital room where nothing but the rhythmic beeping of the machines that monitored her mother’s vitals, Skylar sat again beside the bed, this time properly dressed in a pale-blue disposable safety suit, with her gloved hands gently wrapped around her mother’s frail right hand. She was unable to think properly after she returned from Ivan's house and knew she wouldn't even be able to perform well if she went home immediately. Instead, she returned to the hospital, asked to see her mother again, and was granted the grace to see her properly this time. However, her thoughts were far from at ease or where she was seated, as she stared blankly at her mother's bed, her mind spinning in a relentless tide of worry and self-doubt. Amid her fear for her mother and the fear for herself, her head was blowing up with pain, and her heart was racing with so much angst.She pressed her trembling lips together, struggling to contain the storm brewing inside her, as she tried not to l
