IN THE DEVIL's DEN

BRADMaking a deal with the devil would mean you ultimately selling your soul. My stomach churned like a washing machine on high spin as I stood outside Mrs. Raina's office.They do call her the black widow for a reason, this place was as eerie and chilling as a morgue freezer.Well what can I expect from a woman who made her wealth by marrying a dying old man and ultimately inheriting his property. Asking for her support in the CEO vote felt like a Hail Mary pass, a desperate attempt to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Nolan always had a way of weaving his charm, and Mrs. Raina, bless her clueless widow's heart, seemed particularly susceptible to it. Still, desperate times called for desperate measures. Taking a fortifying breath, I rapped my knuckles against the imposing mahogany door.It swung open with surprising enthusiasm, revealing Mrs. Raina in all her impeccably tailored glory. Her sharp, intelligent eyes, the color of a stormy sea, missed nothing as they raked ove

DEAL WITH THE DEVIL

BRADI'm taken aback by the transformation. Gone are the mahogany furniture and leather chairs, replaced instead with dark red velvet and metal restraints. The walls are adorned with various whips and chains, and a St. Andrew's cross stands prominently in the corner.Mrs. Raina, the woman I've been trying to impress for weeks in order to secure her vote for CEO, smirks at my reaction. "I see you like my little secret."I swallow hard, trying to process what I'm seeing. "I had no idea you were into...this."She steps closer to me, her heels clicking against the hardwood floor. "I like to dominate my men, Brad. Are you man enough to handle it?"My mind races as I consider the implications. I've come this far in my pursuit of the CEO position, and I can't back down now. I take a deep breath and nod. "Yes, I can handle it."She raises an eyebrow. "Take off your clothes."My heart races as I comply, my hands shaking as I undo my tie and slip off my jacket. I can feel her eyes on me as I un

FIRST TIME IN FOREVER

ALANNAI am nervous, why do I always get this way when it comes to Nolan, I mean, I had faced the worst demons, but Nolan was both a dream and nightmare to me.My heart hammered a desperate beat against my ribs as the sleek black car pulled up to the quaint Parisian cafe. This was it. The first time I'd be facing Nolan one-on-one, since the bitter divorce, and not under the most ideal circumstances. I mean, even while we were married, he mostly avoided me and the only time we had sat to talk was about the terms of our divorce. A tense knot of anger and apprehension twisted in my gut.“I hate that he was making me go through such a dreadful process like this again,” I heaved,”I strode into the cafe gate, It was my favorite little haven in the city, a charming nook with checkered tablecloths and overflowing flower boxes that I'd always dreamed of bringing Nolan to. He'd never been one for "cute cafes," always opting for the trendy, high-end establishments. Taking a deep breath, I st

MESSED UP

NOLANSeeing Alanna again after everything… the guilt, the longing, the sheer mess of it all, threatened to drown me. I am a mess.This wasn't just about the kids, not entirely. It was about a chance to open something between us.The cafe bell chimed as the door opened, and there she was. Alanna. Even after all this time, she took my breath away. Her hair, still the same cascade of fiery red, framed a face that somehow managed to be both fierce and vulnerable. She looked… different. Stronger, maybe. I stood as she approached, a nervous smile plastered on my face. "Alanna," I greeted, my voice cracking slightly. "Thanks for coming."Her gaze was cool, assessing. "Nolan," she replied simply, her voice devoid of warmth. "Let's get this over with."We settled into a booth, the silence thick with unspoken emotions. I cleared my throat, trying to break the ice. "This place… this was your favorite, right? You always wanted me to bring you here."A flicker of a smile played on her lips, fle

DO YOU LOVE HIM?

AlannaThe walk back to my office felt like I was walking on glass.Each step was a heavy effort, the weight of the ruined meeting clinging to me like a damp shroud. I hate him!I hate her!I hate my life!I hate myself for feeling so much for him! I cursed out loud. Tears welled up in my eyes again, blurring the already hazy cityscape. How could I have been so stupid? So naive? Nolan having sex with Chloe shouldn't have hurt this much. Logically, I knew it shouldn't. He was married to her, for crying out loud! Married people have sex, that's a fact of life. But logic wasn't winning this battle. My heart felt like a shattered glass, sharp shards of pain piercing me with every ragged breath. Reaching my office door, I fumbled for my key, my vision obscured by the traitorous tears. Finally, the door clicked open, and I practically stumbled inside, collapsing into the plush embrace of my armchair. Angela, bless her ever-observant heart, appeared at my desk in a flash. "Alanna?

MONEY AND JEALOUSY

ALANNAThis was the day, the day I had prepared for, for months. I felt a flood of emotions flood through me. I was both happy, anxious, nervous, sad and grateful all at once. The ballroom buzzed like a beehive, there was this certain elegance and refinement that could be felt in the air. A dazzling display of wealth and importance. Crystal clinked against crystal as champagne flutes collided in celebratory toasts.Excited chatter against the backdrop of the smooth jazz band. Tonight was the completion of months of tireless work, my fashion show – a vibrant display of my creativity – finally gracing the grand stage.“Congratulations Ms. Alanna,” a woman with a black dress greeted me, I didn't recognize her, so instead I responded to her with a smile. Despite the outward glamor, a knot of apprehension tightened in my stomach as I scanned the crowd. A sea of well-dressed bodies and expectant faces swirled before me. The city's elite were all here, of course: business moguls with

Living in my sister’s Shadow

CHLOEI hate my life and all that it had turned into. The stupid scent of cheap beer hit me the moment I pushed open the creaking metal door of the bar. My eyes scanned the dimly lit interior, finally landing on a hunched figure slumped over a chipped plastic table in the corner. Dad. Even from a distance, I could tell he was several sheets to the wind."Dad?" I called hesitantly, my voice barely a whisper over the din of drunken chatter and thumping music.His head snapped up, revealing bloodshot eyes and a face creased with worry lines that seemed to have deepened considerably since the last time I'd seen him, a few months ago. A flicker of recognition crossed his features, followed by a weak attempt at a smile. He had asked me to meet him here after Alanna’s show. "Chloe! My little angel," he slurred, gesturing unsteadily for the empty seat opposite him. "Come, come, have a seat with your old man."My stomach clenched. The last thing I wanted to do was sit down at a grimy bar t

A GOOD TIME (ROUGH and RAW

CHAPTER 79BRADI walked into the fashion event, I was on high alert. I had been told that Mrs. Raina, a member of the board, wanted to speak with me. I had no idea what she wanted, but I hoped it was good news."Brad, there you are," Mrs. Raina said as she approached me. "I'd like you to meet Mr. Collins, another board member."I shook Mr. Collins' hand and exchanged pleasantries. That's when Mrs. Raina dropped the bomb."Brad, Mr. Collins has asked what he can do to help you get the position of CEO. And I told him that you would be happy to show him a good time."I was shocked. Me, show a man a good time? I'm not even gay. But I needed that CEO position, so I reluctantly agreed.Mr. Collins led me to a private room, and I immediately felt uncomfortable.

It was a Monday and that was our routine, “Alanna, are you even listening to me, you seem so distant, all through today, are you sick?” she asked with concern etched all over her face.I gave her a half smile and picked up the paper on my desk, “I am fine,” I simply responded, hoping she would buy it but knowing Angela, she woul
