PROTECTING HER MAN

VANESSA STERLING'S POV "We’ve got the information you asked for, but you won’t like what’s inside.” The male detective warns sliding an envelope across the table. "There isn't much I haven't seen." I pick it and tear it open emptying its content onto the table, which includes numerous photos and printed documents.The first photo is a glamorous image of the red haired girl at a high-profile event."That’s from a charity gala," the female detective says. "She often goes to these events as an escort for rich clients." There are several other pictures of the girl with different male celebrities. "Looks like she hangs out with men with big names only," I remark."Yeah, and each of those celebrities has had their careers go downhill after associated with her due to public backlash," the male detective adds.I pick up a printed document that looks like a printed schedule from a very popular nightclub. "And what's this?"“That is the list of her performances. She's one of their top earners

THE BEAUTIFUL ARTIST

ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV "I must warn you to stay away from your red haired friend, Sofia Letto. She might be sweet, but she's not who you think she is and I’d hate for you to find out the hard way, Abel."I read my ex-wife's message for the fifth time since last night, trying to make sense of it. She attached a photo of Sofia and me at the grocery store.How did she even know about Sofia? Unless she's having me followed around, which I had already suspected anyway. I don't know what to think about her claim about Sofia either. Sure, Sofia has some moral flaws, but I didn’t see her as a bad person. She hasn't done anything to prove that yet. I take a deep breath and type a response."I let you call the shots when we were together, but don’t try to dictate my life now."Before I can second-guess myself, I hit send. I don't like provoking Vanessa, she's too arrogant and lacks the basic awareness to acknowledge her faults.I hear heels clicking against the polished floor and Ms. Raven app

UNBELIEVABLE!

ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV“You really let a big opportunity slip back there.” Ms Raven says as we walk out of the studio."Yeah, because it was really fun to be the only naked one in a room full of people. And it’s even more fun to talk to the artists while I’m still naked." I reply sarcastically."So, are you going to tell me how comes you and Vanessa Sterling are friends?" I ask as we step off the elevator. She glances at me, her expression unreadable."Why do you want to know about Vanessa so much?" she replies."I'm just curious," I say, there is no way I'm telling her Vanessa was my ex-wife."Okay." She gives a smile that doesn’t quite reach her eyes and walks toward her car, I follow behind."Vanessa and I go way back. We went to same high school and our families were close. We were Inseparable." she explains and I raise an eyebrow. Vanessa, inseparable? That’s hard to imagine."She started her brand while I was in college. She was my role model when I took over my father's company,

BÀD FOR YOU

ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV "Don't test me, Abel. I don’t want you to see that side of me that it's not meant for you. I only want you safe.”I read the text from my ex-wife, shaking my head in disbelief. Does she even hear herself? Sometimes I wonder if she knows what kind of an entitled, arrogant control freak she is.Another message pops up, “I need you to listen to me so I can keep you safe and protect you."Is she trying to soften the threat from her first message? And we’re not together anymore, I’m not her responsibility. I type back. "I’m not your problem."She’s out of her mind if she thinks I’ll let her control me now or dictate who I can see.Before I can even put my phone down, it buzzes again.“You are.”Great. Arguing with her is so pointless. She has this ego, this sense of entitlement expecting everyone to fall in line with her demands.I want to ask about what Ms. Raven told me yesterday, if it’s true she was seeing other men while we were married. But what would that chan

THE FUNDRAISER

VANESSA STERLING'S POVI find myself looking through the photo gallery on my phone. I wish I’d let Abel take more pictures of himself so I would have more to look at now. If only he would agree to come back to me without a fight. I’m so used to people bending to my will that him defying me is just so... frustrating.I can tell from his texts that he thinks I am controlling him. I don’t think I’m controlling him. Am I? Sure I do like him at my beck and call but right now he's being so impulsively stupid and I'm only trying to keep him from making a huge mistake. Whenever I don’t know that he's safe it’s like a panic alarm in my head blaring at me. I don’t want to fight with him. I just want him safe. Is that really so hard for him to understand?There’s a knock at the door, and my publicist, Marla, walks in.“Miss Sterling, sorry to interrupt,” she says, handing me a sealed envelope.“This just came in your direct mail.”I glance at the return address, it’s from Mr. Raven,l. Aubrey's

OH SH*T!

ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV "You look hot as hell." She compliments. "I gonna be fighting women who want to talk to you tonight.""You look even more beautiful," I reply."What should I expect at this event?" I ask, curious."The usual stuff," she says."Not usual for me," I remind her."Just a lot of rich people flashing their wealth." She tells, moving to sit closer and rests her left hand on my shoulder. She stays silent for the rest of the drive of which I am grateful for.It is just past eight when the Audi winds up a tree-lined lane filled with more luxury cars. The lane curves around and opens into a sweeping driveway in front of an impressive mansion with towering stone walls and arched windows that make it look like a castle. It's palatial. "My parents will really like you," Ms. Raven says confidently as we get out of the car. How can she be so sure?A dark green carpet runs across the perfectly trimmed lawn toward the entrance of the house. Ms Raven has her hand on my arm, as we

THE NEW GUEST

ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POVThe room goes quiet as Vanessa walks in, commanding all the guests attention. The black velvet gown she has on, clings perfectly to her curves, accentuating her figure like a work of art. Every man, including me, can't take his eyes off her as she walks down the stairs.Mr. Raven stands up, a broad smile spreading across his face. "Vanessa, so glad you could make it!" His voice is warm, laced with a genuine fondness that was noticeably absent when he spoke to Aubrey. Mrs. Raven rises too, her face lighting up with joy. "Oh, Vanessa, my dear!" she exclaims, leaning in to kiss both of Vanessa's cheeks.I see Aubrey’s knuckles whiten around her wine glass, as she watches her parents fawn over Vanessa. I can’t blame her, they’re treating Vanessa like royalty, but I'm sure they expect her to contribute so much to their charity.Mrs. Raven guides Vanessa to a seat at the table, unfortunately, one directly across from me. A waiter pulls out the chair for her with utmost

THE UNKNOWN LOVER

ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV A few seconds later, the waiter leads in a man in a black suit, that man is none other than Senator Jonathan Luis Green. Things gonna get hot in here. I really wish I can just stand and leave right now.A sharp noise of a crack suddenly slices through the murmurs of the guests and we all look to see Aubrey's champagne glass has slipped from her fingers, shattering on the marble floor. Her expression shifts from shock to fury as she glares at Vanessa, who sits with self satisfied smirk plastered across her face. She did this on purpose. What's for? To cause a scene? Aubrey's parents would love Jonathan, it's even surprising they were acting nice to me after Aubrey introduced me as her boyfriend."Aubrey!” Jonathan calls out, striding confidently toward the table. "Why didn’t you invite me, my love? I’ve been waiting for you to introduce me to your family."Now it's my turn to be shocked. Does her parents not know Jonathan? She claimed her father was the one forcin

PETTY EX-WIFE

ABEL'S BLACKWOOD'S POV "Where did I ever go wrong raising her?” Mrs. Raven groans burying her face in her trembling hands. Her husband pulls her close, his own expression a mix of anger and despair. “It’s not your fault. You raised her the best you could. She chose this herself.” Vanessa comforts as if she hadn’t been the one to stir the pot in the first place.Mrs. Raven lifts her head slightly, her eyes red and puffy. “But did she have to be with a criminal? Her father's age?” “I’m so sorry for inviting Senator Jonathan,” Vanessa says. “If I hadn’t .....”“No, thank you for inviting that idiot,” Mr. Raven interjects bitterly. “Otherwise, we would have never known our daughter is a. . . ” He pauses, his voice thick with disgust, “a disgrace.”He turns back to his wife, his tone softening as he whispers, “Come on, let’s get you cleaned up.” He stands and gently guides her to her feet.As she rises, Mrs. Raven grips Vanessa’s hand tightly. “You should have been the kind of daughter

CRAZY FANS

ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POVWensley pulls up sooner than I expected, and I hop into the front seat, muttering a quick, “Thanks.”“How’d you get here so fast?” I ask, glancing out the window just in time to see Vanessa's bodyguards heading back inside.“I was nearby at a club. Surprised to hear from you at this hour. What are you doing at such a high-profile event?""It's just a fundraiser,” I reply, trying to keep it vague. I know he won’t want to hear that I was invited by Miss Raven.“A fundraiser? How did you get invited to a billionaire's fundraiser?” Wensley presses, clearly intrigued.Fuck, here we go. Damn Aubrey for leaving me at that party. And damn me for being an impulsive idiot that agreed to go with her.“Can we talk about it tomorrow?” I suggest, hoping he won't remember about it by tomorrow.“Sure, no problem,” he replies, driving out of the sprawling estate.“Before we head home, I need to pick this chick up at the club,” Wensley adds, shooting me a playful grin.I raise my e
