It was hard, it was hard for my life to return back to normal. Hell it was impossible especially now that I woke up feeling like absolute crap. My head was pounding, and my stomach churned in that way where you just *know* something is wrong. I sat up slowly, hoping the dizziness would fade, but it didn’t. Instead, it lingered, reminding me of the mistake I made just weeks ago. The night I let my guard down with a stranger, something I never thought I’d do.Groaning, I leaned against the headboard, staring at the clock. I should’ve been at work an hour ago, but I couldn’t even think straight. Last night, I was just fine, but this morning…something felt different. Off.Dragging myself out of bed, I stumbled toward the bathroom, splashing cold water on my face. Maybe I was just coming down with something. It had been a stressful few months—my breakup with Adam, finding out he’d been cheating on me, and now, feeling completely lost after a reckless decision to sleep with someone I didn’t

I froze, my hand hovering just above the door handle. Ryan’s voice, smooth yet sharp, pierced through the muffled sounds from inside Silver’s house. My pulse quickened, the sound of his voice stirring up old wounds I had tried to bury. What was *he* doing here? And why was Silver laughing with him?I took a deep breath, trying to steady the storm of emotions crashing through me. Maybe I was overreacting. Maybe this wasn’t what it seemed. But as I listened closer, the laughter died down, replaced by the sound of Silver’s voice, soft but pleading.“Ryan, please… don’t leave me. I’m pregnant.”I felt like the ground had been ripped out from under me. Silver was *pregnant*? With Ryan’s child? My heart raced, a mixture of confusion and betrayal flooding my mind.Silver continued, her voice desperate. “She can never be yours again, Ryan. Nerissa’s pregnant by another man. It’s over between you two.”There was a moment of silence, a heavy pause that seemed to drag on forever, and then came R

My heart skipped a beat. I knew those eyes—those sharp, brilliant sapphire eyes that had haunted my dreams for five long years. They belonged to *him*. Asher. The man I had hoped never to see again.I forced myself to remain calm, to keep my composure, though my legs felt like they would give out at any moment. I felt a hand on my waist before I could crumble and I stared into the chocolate eyes of my boss"Are you okay, Miss Blake?""Of course" my voice came out as a squeak and I cleared my throat "of course Mr, Strauss"He released me, "This is Asher Blackwood, my partner and my friend""Good morning Mr. Asher" I smiled as I stretched out my handsHe shook it and didn't release it, he tilted his head slightly, studying me as though trying to place my face. "Have we met before?" My heart pounded so loudly I was sure he could hear it. *No. No, this can’t be happening.*I swallowed hard, forcing a small, strained smile. “No,” I lied, hoping my voice sounded steady. “I’m afraid you mus

Asher's POV The ride home felt longer than usual. I leaned back in the plush leather seat of the car, watching the city lights blur into streaks of yellow and white as we sped through the streets. My mind was stuck on her and I needed answers now answers only someone with the right skills could dig up. Pulling out my phone, I scrolled through my contacts until I found the name I was looking for: Clark. He was the best private investigator I’d ever worked with, and I had a feeling this job was going to require his finest skills. The phone rang twice before he picked up. "Asher, what’s going on?" I didn’t waste time on pleasantries. “I need you to start looking into someone for me. Her name’s Nerissa Blake. I want everything—where she’s been, who she’s been with, why she disappeared. Leave no stone unturned.” There was a slight pause on the other end, and I could almost hear Clark raising an eyebrow. “Nerissa? Is this the same girl who ghosted you?” My jaw tightened. “Yes.” H
