Don't you want us anymore?

“I didn't know how much the kids are getting affected by my choice,” I said, breaking the silence between us as I glanced at him. Brion stopped what he was doing to look at me. He looked surprised by my words. He was not expecting me to say anything. I bet he thought we would complete the task in silence because I didn't want to chat with him. “What made you think so?” His question made it seem like he was walking on eggshells. "Willow made me promise not to leave again. They thought I would leave should they turn their backs. It was sad listening to my baby. I didn't know they would be this affected by my actions.” Brion stopped what he was doing to focus on me. There was a small smile on his lips as he looked at me. “I didn't want to tell you about it, so you wouldn't feel I was burdening you. The separation is affecting the kids, Willow mostly. She once told River that you abandoned them because they always demanded things. Didn't you notice they stopped asking for things whenev

Let's meet

DASHIELLI dialled Ben's number, pacing in my sitting room. I would have called him last night had I not been occupied. This morning, I spent most of the day begging Nova to stay back, and I didn't have any chance to call. However, with the house empty, and my mind constantly drifting towards my wife, I decided to sort through the recent problem.He answered on the first ring. “I apologize for not contacting you since the last time we spoke. I have been busy with the task you sent me. It's just….” “Just what?” I interrupted. I didn't have the patience to wait for him to arrange his words. “It's complicated. I traced the men I told you about, only to discover I'd been following the wrong trail.” “Is that something you should tell me??!” I was fuming with rage. “Aren't you the best tracker in the entire city? Why are you making it seem like you are a kid in this craft when you are the best??!” I pinched the bridge of my nose, feeling frustration seeping into my bones. Who would hav

Brion is the one behind everything

I raised an eyebrow at that. “Then why did Nova suspect you? If you are not the one, why are you trying to get the suspicion off you? Don't you think it will only make us doubt you more? Telling me you know nothing about this proves you are the one.”How else did she know we were suspecting her if she wasn't the one behind everything happening?Lilith's expression turned guarded. “That's complicated. But I assure you, Dashiell, I'm not the one threatening your family. I don't have any interest in you anymore.” She reached out to place her hand on mine, but I took my hand back, glaring. “You don't have to look at me like I'm the bad person when I'm not. There's someone else doing all this. I'm innocent. The only thing I did was try to hurt Nova five years ago, that's all.”I studied her, searching for any sign of deception. “Who is, then?” "Well..." Her eyes darted around the coffee shop before focusing on me. She leaned forward as if afraid the walls might carry her voice should she

You are alone in this

LILITH “Now, all we have to do is relax and watch everything unfold,” Zoey said with a smile, her eyes crinkling at the sides as she relaxed on the couch. “God, I never thought working with someone could be so draining. I'm used to acting alone, you know?” I didn't respond. Instead, I sat on the couch opposite the one she was resting on, crossing my legs. I wanted an out from this, but I know I'd gone deep into this to extricate myself. Don't get me wrong there, darling, I'm still serious about my plot for revenge, to get Dashiell back. What I needed to call quits was working with her. “Have Dashiell called you?” She asked, breaking the silence between us while trying to catch my attention. She didn't bother repeating her earlier question because she knew I wouldn't respond to that. “Not at all.” I'd kept my phone next to me all day, expecting a call from him, but I got nothing. He hasn't reached out to me since I contacted him two days ago to talk about his plans. “Did you

Is this a trap?

Like always, she looked cool, with that 'I couldn't care less' expression on her face as she watched me. She didn't look stressed. I was the only one among us feeling like I'd aged since we met. “I received the video,” he said, his tone neutral. “I have to admit, I'm intrigued.” I exchanged a glance with Zoey, who nodded encouragingly. “What do you think?” I asked, feigning nonchalance. I kept my expression neutral, so he wouldn't pick up on my emotions, opting to sound like Zoey. “I think Brion's involved, just like you said,” Dashiell replied. “But I need more proof. Nova won't believe me with just this video of him talking to the hooded men. I need something more. Something concrete enough.”Zoey mouthed “good” and gave a thumbs-up, encouraging me. She uncrossed her legs, still focused on me. However, this time, I could see a crack in her otherwise stoic face. She seemed excited. Like a kid who got promised a car. Her eyes sparkled. “I can get you more information,” I offered

We need your help

NOVALuckily, my kids returned to their normal cheerful selves after I spent two days with them. I didn't get any text from the one threatening them, which would mean they realized I was no longer living with Dashiell.Brion too seemed beyond excited to hear my plans. He looked happier than the kids. I just knew the only one who wouldn't be happy about this would be Dashiell. Talking of Dashiell, I haven't seen him since I left the house. He had only called me twice, which I found odd. Each time he called, he only asked about Brion. I couldn't shake off the feelings of something being wrong, but when I asked him, he breezed past the question without answering it. Which was why I planned to meet with him today. “Are you going to work?” Brion looked up from his laptop the moment I stepped into the living room. He had been working from home since I returned to the house, claiming he didn't want me to feel so lonely whenever the kids went to school. I smiled, adjusting the strap of

You look good

I angrily downed the content of my coffee in one go, scalding my tongue, but I didn't feel it. I was still pissed because of those gold diggers that called themselves parents. I just had to hope the day wouldn't be that bad for me. Having met them this morning, I only have to hope their bad luck won't rub off on me. Dashiell was waiting in front of the office for me, nervously tugging on his suit. The moment my car drove into the personal space I got when I came to the company, he walked over, smiling as he opened the door for me. “You look pretty,” he breathed out, looking at me like he was seeing me for the first time. His eyes took me in, from my head to my toes. “Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself.” I got out of the car with my handbag. Locking the door behind me. “Uhm… Thanks. I thought to dress up for today.” He looked down, hiding the flush on his cheeks. I smiled at that, giving him an appraisal, and enjoying the way he squirmed at my gaze, like a shy bride. Dashiel

What's the catch?

My gaze whipped over to Dashiell, who gave me a little shrug. He closed the door and stepped into the room with me, nudging me as he whispered, “I was equally shocked when I learned she was the one coming over.” “Why didn't you fucking tell me?!” I gritted my teeth in rage, glaring at him. I would have punched him in the face had I not kept my anger in check. “I realized too late, and couldn't tell you about it so you won't ball out. Don't worry, you have me here.” Flashing his teeth at me, he took my hand in his and led me towards the mother, who was scowling at us. Amaya Esmeralda James. My always a perfect mother-in-law. She sat poised on the plush sofa, her elegant demeanour a stark contrast to the tension in the air. Her signature sunglasses perched on her nose, hid her eyes, but not the disapproval etched on her face. She wore a tailored, ivory pantsuit. The fabric hugged her slender frame, accentuating her refined features. A delicate silver necklace glinted around her ne

I will always support you

Dashiell looked confused by my response. “Are you planning on leaving this country?” “No.”“Then why are you talking about the years being far?” “I just…” Sighing, I ran my fingers through my hair, feeling the frustration seeping in gradually, like a thief. “I don't even know if I would work for companies by then. I intend to open a branch here in Paris to have my company, Dashiell.” I had discussed this with Brion, and he thought it was the best decision ever. Having my company would make me independent, just like I had always wanted. I wouldn't have to rely on any company for marketing, and I sure as hell wouldn't need to sign exclusive contracts with any of them. Though Amaya sugar-coated the offer and made it sound like the best thing that would ever happen to me, I didn't trust her not to play tricks on me. “You —” “Is your mother now working for the Elite group? Didn't she step down months ago?” I asked a pressing question, one that had been bugging me since she present

Is this happening?

DASHIELLLunch was eventful. Nova was the perfect lady for a perfect date, something I only realized after all these years. There were no dull moments with her, no time that I wished I were anywhere but there with her, eating what she was craving. After lunch, we walked back to the office. This time, I didn't get the opportunity to hold her like I was hoping. I didn't know how to ask to hold her hand, so I opted to walk next to her so that our shoulders brushed occasionally. To me, that was better than nothing. At least my body got to touch hers, even though my hands didn't. When we got back to the office, I asked for her help in reviewing some files with me. I didn't know why I asked her, but I blurted that out before I could think about it, and she accepted. Yeah. She didn't even ask why I wanted her help. She just gave in like she'd been doing since she arrived this morning.As we settled into my office, pouring over the files, our shoulders touched each time I walked over to
