“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 event was for the launch of their company's latest achievement; a cutting-edge virtual assistant technology, automated to perfection, was being held in one of the most luxurious venues in Munich known for its high-tech innovations, and the atmosphere was nothing short of awe-inspiring.A sleek, red, newest edition luxury Rolls-Royce glided to a stop in front of the grandeur venue, as its polished surface reflected the multitude of flashing lights from paparazzi, and an able-bodied chauffeur stepped out of the car instantly to the back side of the car. He opened the back door smoothly, and Ivan stepped out, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit that highlighted his tall, athletic frame, as he stood with an effortless allure and sophistication. As the spotlight caught his face, he turned slightly, extending a hand into the car, to Skylar, who was already trying to help herself out. Her heart skipped and she hesitated where the kind gesture was coming from. Still skeptical about t

“The surgery had just ended and was successful,” the surgeon, who had just come out of the theatre room still dressed in her blue scrub, and had a nose mask hanging below her chin, told Skylar with a reassuring smile that didn't brighten her face.Instantly, the world around her paused for a millisecond as the tension that had been hanging in her body crumbled instantly, and dissipated into the air. Her legs gave way below her body, and before she knew it, she had fallen on her knees, as she felt the hard, cold floor press against her palms that rested against the floor, the weight of the news sinking into her mind. Her right hand which was trembling covered her mouth, as a stifling gasp that felt like it had been locked in her chest for hours escaped her, alongside the tears that trickled down her cheeks. ‘She was alive. Her mother was alive,’ she heaved a sigh of relief, unable to handle the excitement. “Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much,” were the few words her voice could u

“I am sorry, we cannot be together,” those heavy words hung heavily between the two standing across from one another, and the receiver, Leo, blinked hard as he stared at Kali, who had broken the news to him.“What.. What is wrong, Kali?” His lips barely found the right words to utter because his brain was barely functioning coherently. That was the last news he expected her to bring to him, just when he was planning that they would go hiking together since she liked doing that. ‘Things had been going fine between them for the past few days. What went wrong?’ His eyes took a haunted look as if awaiting an explanation from her. “Nothing is,” she looked away from him while resting her back on the railings of the rooftop recreation spot they were standing, because she said she wanted to go there when he asked what she wanted to do. “Kali, meet my eyes,” Leo stared at her, his heart wanting to reach out to her in the most intentional way, as his right hand stretched and caught hers in

Skylar made her way into the five-star restaurant, her eyes glancing briefly through the few people that were seated in the room, until they landed on Grayson, who was seated by the window, his face brightening with a warm, sweet smile the moment he raised his head. She instantly flashed a warm smile at him from where she was standing, and he rose to his feet, as a gesture to welcome her which almost melted away her initial nervousness instantly. It made Skylar's eyes almost roll in shock because she never thought she could see him smile considering their first and second encounter. “Hi, Sky,” he greeted her with a sweet smile, and politely offered her a seat across from him, “You look absolutely gorgeous,” his eyes lingered as he took in her dress, and her smile.“Hi, Gray,” she responded with a nervous smile, “You don't look bad yourself,” she finally settled into her seat. “How have you been these days?” He initiated the conversation, his eyes peering at her. “Been great,” Skyl

The evening breeze brushed gently over the terrace of Ivan's home, and the beautiful scents of marigolds and lavender from the garden which was situated not far from where the two friends sat, permeated the cool evening breeze with a nice fragrance that was soothing. Sitting across from Ivan, was Leo, who was dressed in a finely pressed summer shirt and slacks, as he slouched comfortably against the chair he was sitting on, with a light grin sitting on his lips. Gently, he swirled the glass of whiskey that was nestled between his fingers, as he stared at Ivan, who had been gazing hard at him for the past few seconds, as if thinking of what to say first. And then, he finally spoke. “So, you are telling me it has taken you two days since you landed to get a drink with me all because of a lady?” Ivan cocked a brow at him. “You know I have not seen or spoken to her since that …….” “Says the man who shows up on my doorstep after disappearing for half a year, and felt like he had to

It was late at night already, but the skies were still as bright as evening, which gave a physical misrepresentation of what time truly was, and had tricked Amelia into believing that the night was still young. She had quickly dressed up for work and sat in front of the dresser for a quick makeup touch, as she used the curling iron to press her hair while trying to gloss a shining red lipstick across her lips at the same time. However, while in haste to leave for her shift that night, her eyes caught sight of Skylar's restlessness through the mirror, whose body was sprawled lazily on the bed, with one hand tucked under her head, the other holding her phone close as she stared at the screen with an unreadable expression. “You never told me what happened last night,” Amelia began, trying to sound casual as she fluffed her hair over one shoulder, “You came home so gloomy and sad,” she glanced at the mirror again, while observing her closely.Meanwhile, Skylar was so engrossed in wha

Ivan stepped into his office after the meeting had ended, and was so surprised to see Skylar sitting at her desk, as calm and composed as ever. It was as if she had not refused to pick up his call all day, or failed to inform him as usual that she would not be around in the morning. She had him so worried. Regardless, a sense of relief washed over him in the most exhilarating manner, before he walked across to the front of her table, a little worried that she seemed bothered by his palpable presence, “Where were you, Sky? Your phone has been off since yesterday,” he gazed at her so intently when he questioned, as if beckoning her to look up at him. Without meeting his eyes, Skylar continued to type fast on her computer as if she had a deadline to meet, and murmured a sincere apology, “I am so sorry for missing the meeting, Mr. Hamilton. It won’t happen again,” she spoke calmly and eloquently. Ivan was taken aback by her very professional tone, as if to shut him out and install

With a weary and bothered heart, Ivan made his way to the office the next day, bothered that Skylar's phone had been off since the previous night. He was a little later to work than usual because a minor collision occurred with his car that morning on his way to work from a rough driver, and it distorted his plans to come early by a few minutes because he had the car towed and another brought to him.Quickly, he stalked out of his elevator as soon as it chimed open on the last floor with large strides in the most elegant way, and instantly made his way to the front of his office, as he opened the door to the office instantly, hoping to see her. However, disappointment clouded his face as soon his eyes fell on the empty desk where Skylar was supposed to be sitting behind. The chair was pushed in, and her papers were still untouched from the previous day. ‘Where was she?’ He wondered, his eyes raising in concern as he hesitated for a few seconds before entering inside, and made his w

The morning sun which Skylar had always loved suddenly felt unkind as it cast its harsh light on her weary face as she trudged into the main doors of the huge company, because it seemed as if it amplified the ache in her heart and the anger she felt from deep within. She made her way into the CEO's VIP elevator with its access card because she gracefully wanted to avoid bumping into any of the company workers, not minding the talks they might make again as to reasons why she got to ride the elevator when Ivan was not even with her. She could barely look at herself in the elevator mirror that she was surrounded by when she got in, and each glance she took at her reflection revealed her tired, hollow eyes and puffy cheeks, which she had spent half an hour trying to conceal. Despite the makeup, traces of last night’s turmoil clung to her like an embarrassment that she couldn’t wash away. It was obvious that she had cried so much. Skylar just wished that she was so open and cared less

Skylar stepped into her apartment with deep weariness engraved deep into her bones, as the weight of what she had just witnessed sat heavily on her chest, crushed her with each breath she took, and blurred her eyes with suffocating tears. The image of Ivan and Gwen kissing replayed in her head like a broken record over and over again, and it was as if a knife had been thrust into her gut. It was almost too hard to bear in mere sight, and the thoughts it brought to her mind severed her heart mercilessly. It suddenly felt as if all the moments that existed between her and Ivan meant nothing. Like she didn't even exist, enough for him to respect what happened between them. Like she didn't matter. Nothing hurt her more than the fact that the sight confirmed her fears and made her feel smaller than ever. It was even more terrifying because she didn't have the right to get angry at him. After all, they were just flings anyway. They didn't even have a name for what they were doing, so she
