OrchardThe stack of papers on my desk was enough to bury me alive. Each document demanded my full attention—contracts to sign, reports to review, and decisions to make. The office was eerily quiet except for the faint hum of the air conditioning and the occasional rustling of papers. Sunlight streamed through the large windows behind me, casting golden streaks on the floor, but I barely noticed. My entire focus was on my work.I leaned forward, flipping through yet another contract, but my mind wandered. Lately, life had been a blur of meetings, deadlines, and long nights in the office. Even Iris and I had been swept up in the chaos, barely finding time for each other. It hadn’t been intentional, of course, but it gnawed at me. The thought of her bright smile, the way her eyes lit up when she talked about something she loved, it felt like it had been ages since I’d seen those little moments.The buzz of my phone pulled me back to the present. I glanced at the screen and saw a messa

IrisI stood there, watching Orchard as he lowered himself onto one knee, the faint light catching the edges of the small velvet box in his hand.My heart skipped a beat. “Orchard… what are you doing?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. My thoughts were a tangled mess. We were already married. Why was he doing this? But as I looked at his face, his soft smile and hopeful eyes, I realized I couldn’t say anything that would ruin this moment for him.“Yes,” I said gently, a warm smile spreading across my face.Relief washed over his features, and his hands shook slightly as he slipped the ring onto my finger. Once it was on, he exhaled and stood up, taking my hand in his.“Thank you,” he said, a crooked smile playing on his lips. “Thanks for not making this awkward.”I let out a soft laugh, the tension melting away. “I understand,” I said.I looked down at the ring again, tilting my hand to see how it caught the light. It was breathtaking. The dia

DaveI couldn’t stop myself. My lips crashed onto Bella in a wild, fiery kiss. It was desperate, consuming. Every ounce of self-control I’d sworn to have evaporated the moment I felt her respond.I kissed her like a man starved, my hands gripping her waist as though letting go would end me. She tasted like everything I shouldn’t want but couldn’t resist.What the hell was I thinking coming here? I’d told myself over and over that I wouldn’t let this happen again. But being around Bella, hearing her voice, seeing the way she looked at me—it broke every ounce of resolve I had left.Her soft breaths hit my skin, sending a charge through my entire body. My pulse was racing, my hands moving as if they had a mind of their own, tangling in her hair, pulling her closer.Our tongues tangled, her warmth and mine becoming one until we were breathless. I didn’t care about the world outside this moment. Nothing else existed but her.The loose knot of her bathrobe slipped, and it fell away entirely

DaveThroughout work, I simply couldn’t think straight. Reasoning had become a chore, and I didn’t want to partake in it in any way, shape, or form. I couldn’t get Bella out of my head. No matter what I did, she was always there—in my thoughts, in my mind, in every damn breath I took.It didn’t matter that I had Tiffany. Tiffany was my girlfriend, the one everyone saw me with, the one I was supposed to care about. But Bella? Bella was different. She knew about Tiffany. She knew everything. And yet, she still chose to be with me. For years, we shared something that I couldn’t explain. Something that felt secret, electric, and so damn alive.But now? Now she was done. She wanted out. Just like that.I began replaying her words over and over. “Dave, I can’t do this anymore. We shouldn’t do this, you have Tiffany.” That was all she said. No explanation. No fight. Just those words.The worst part? She said them after we spent the best night of our lives together and the morning after. It

Tiffany Have you ever wondered what it was like to be dipped in a vat of boiling acid and then wrung out to dry, specifically being squeezed of every ounce of life, allowing the acid to, in some ways, do more damage to your skin than ever before? That was me. That was me, I thought to myself again. She had done this. My sister. Except—kidding? We weren’t even related by blood. The only ties we held together were water, and just like it was said, blood was thicker than water. So why did it matter so much? It all started with the announcement of the gala, and then it was the fire. Dave had so stupidly brought her out himself, leaving me alone, and then finally it was the guts she had to use to look me in the eye and call me nothing but an intruder. Me. I was an intruder? Me? I asked out loud again, laughing to myself, finding it nearly comical. This was coming from someone who would look me in the eye and say certain things, yet suddenly she was bold? Suddenly, I was to b

Orchard’s PovThe drive to my father’s house was quiet, the kind of silence that wasn’t uncomfortable but made me unnerved. The city lights flickered past as I kept one hand on the steering wheel, the other resting in Iris’s grasp. She squeezed my hand gently, a small act of reassurance that somehow made my nerves calmer.Her touch grounded me, but it also reminded me of what was waiting for me at the end of this drive, my father and whatever drama he’d stirred up this time.“Are you okay?” Iris’s voice broke through my thoughts, concern laced in her tone.I glanced at her briefly before turning my eyes back to the road. “I will be. It’s just… him.”She gave me a small smile. “Whatever it is, we’ll deal with it.”I nodded, gripping the wheel tighter as the towering iron gates of my father’s estate came into view. The guards recognized the car immediately and opened the gates without hesitation. They didn’t need to ask questions; they knew me too well.The driveway was perfectly maint

Iris The evening had started so beautifully, but the phone call from Orchard’s father changed everything. I was still processing the shift in the atmosphere as Orchard ended the call and ran a hand through his hair, his jaw tightening. He looked calm on the outside, but I knew him well enough to recognize the storm brewing beneath the surface.“Is everything okay?” I asked cautiously, sitting up straighter in my seat.He hesitated for a moment, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the table. “My father wants me to come over.”I nodded, though his words unsettled me. Orchard rarely talked about his father. I knew their relationship was rocky at best, filled with unresolved tension and bitterness.“Do you want me to come with you?” I offered gently.He gave me a small, grateful smile. “Of course. I’d rather not go there alone.”That was all I needed to hear. Whatever was going on, I wanted to be there for him, even if I didn’t fully understand the weight of their history.The drive

OrchardEarlier That DayIt didn't seem like I could find a time to be alone with her long enough for me to make anything count. Iris herself simply looked overly attractive, dressed up every day and going out the door for work. We both had to be up early, so there were no late-night shenanigans for either of us. "Did I have to force it?" I asked myself as I turned around from the walk-in closet, searching for Iris. "Hey," I said, calling out just as she was about to put a hand on the door handle. "I want to see you," I said. "I'll pop by your office later. Don’t go anywhere." I pointed a finger at her face. She gave me a small smile. "Okay," she said. In many ways, that smile did too much. It brightened up the flight of my morning, and I felt a special way after the fire ruined Mom's event. Speaking of Mom, I thought to myself as I stepped back into the walk-in closet and got ready for the day. I needed to see her. Whether it was because of the smoke or her allergies, she h

DaveEight Hours PriorI had no reason to go, save to simply see things myself. But Tiffany's complaints were enough. Just confront her a little bit, I thought, especially after Tiffany had been giving me the cold shoulder over the past few days. It irked me, I thought. And after one evening at the bar, sipping on whiskey, I had come to a simple conclusion after a little talk with Tom. "Do something," he had said. "The best way to get your woman's attention off you momentarily is to make it about her. Give her something, shower her with as many goodies as possible. Heck, confront her bully, get her something pretty," he had said. "This shit ain't so hard. The reason why she's pissed is because she thinks you only care about yourself. But don’t you know that the best way to keep your woman’s eyes off you is to make yourself a selfless, responsible, ‘we’re trying, please, hardly possible,’ and you know it’s always ‘every man for himself’ lately. But I’m guessing you get what I mean,

IrisI was giddy like a child on Christmas. It was like presents had been laid out in front of me, or at least it was like Mom had told me to go downstairs and I would meet the Christmas tree with gifts stuffed underneath. Except that instead of that, I was going to have another honey. We’d had one before, but it was awkward. Just as awkward as an arranged marriage couple not exactly knowing what to do with each other the first time they met—level awkward. I was so giddy to the point my feet started dancing on their own. "You’re cute, you know that, right?" I turned away from my vanity and found Orchard walking toward me with a towel around his waist. His packs were dripping water, dropping down from his neck all the way down over his muscular chest, his abs, and then going to play around with the towel. All excited like that, he raised a hand and wiggled his fingers. "It’s cute." He plopped down beside me, forcing me to scoot over to the edge of the stool in front of the vani
