How He Feels

The next morning, a soft knock echoed through Brayden’s room. He ran a towel through his damp hair, his bare chest still glistening from his shower. “Come in,” he called, reaching for his watch on the dresser.The door creaked open, and Mrs. Giovanni stepped in, a bright smile plastered across her face. Her eyes twinkled with warmth, and her posture was relaxed, yet something playful lingered beneath her gaze.“Good morning, son,” she greeted, her voice airy and cheerful.Brayden, fastening the buttons of his crisp white shirt, raised a brow at her unusual buoyancy. “Morning, Mom. You’re in a good mood. Is everything alright?”Mrs. Giovanni’s smile widened, her arms crossing as she leaned lightly against the doorframe. “Everything is perfect. Just wanted to check on my handsome son. How was your sleep?”Brayden narrowed his eyes slightly, his lips curling into a knowing smirk. “It was fine,” he said slowly, his tone cautious. “You’re never this cheerful without a reason. What’s

Something Unreadable

Penelope stirred awake to the soft brush of sunlight filtering through the large windows, casting a golden glow across the lavish room. The unfamiliar elegance of the space reminded her of exactly where she was—the Giovanni estate in Spain. She lay still for a moment, letting the reality settle in before pushing herself up with a soft sigh.After a quick stretch, she slipped out of bed and padded toward the bathroom, freshening up with a cool splash of water on her face. The reflection that stared back at her in the grand mirror showed slight weariness, but her eyes still held their usual spark. She brushed her curls quickly and tied them up into a loose bun before stepping out.Her mind went immediately to Anya. Time to wake the little princess.Penelope walked down the hall and stopped in front of Anya’s room. She gave a gentle knock. Tap-tap.“Anya?” she called softly.Hearing no response, she eased the door open and peeped inside. The sight brought a warm smile to her lips.

Only Brayden

As they began their meal, the room settled into a peaceful rhythm, filled with the soft clinking of silverware and light conversation.Then, Mrs. Giovanni’s voice broke the calm. “So, Penelope,” she began curiously, “how are you enjoying your stay so far?”Penelope paused, wiping her lips with her napkin before answering with a polite smile. “It’s been lovely, Mrs. Giovanni. Your home is beautiful, and the hospitality has been more than generous.”Mrs. Giovanni’s eyes crinkled with genuine warmth. “I’m so glad to hear that. And please,” she added with a soft chuckle, “ there’s no need for formality. You’ve become dear to Anya, and that makes you dear to us.”Penelope’s cheeks warmed slightly. “Thank you. I appreciate your kindness.”With that settled, the conversation tapered off, and they returned to their meal. Yet, Penelope couldn’t shake the feeling of eyes on her.She glanced up, and sure enough—Brayden.Every so often, his gaze flicked toward her, only for him to casually

You’re Being Kidnapped

The massive iron gates ahead groaned and slid open with a mechanical hum, and as they parted, the men in black suits stationed around the compound dipped their heads in unison, a synchronized bow of respect. The SUV gilded forward, the gravel crunching softly beneath the wheels before they rolled onto the smooth asphalt road.The gates closed behind them with a resounding clank, sealing them away from the sanctuary of the estate.The ride was cloaked in thick silence, broken only by the soft hum of the engine and the faint whisper of wind against the windows. Penelope sat stiffly, her arms crossed as her gaze flicked from the road ahead to the man beside her. She hated how composed he looked—one hand on the wheel, his eyes steady on the road, his jaw set in that familiar, unreadable line.Her mind raced. He hadn’t told her a thing—no destination, no reason, just get in.Her eyes narrowed slightly. She had played this silent game long enough.Finally, she broke the quiet, her voice

Kissing Her Boss

Her lips trembled slightly. “You…” She swallowed. “You’re not going to leave me here, are you?”Brayden’s brows pulled together, and a flicker of something—offense?—crossed his face. “No,” he said firmly. “I’d never do that.”Penelope felt her chest tightening, her pulse roaring in her ears. She searched his face, his expression—so calm, so steady. No lies. No malice.Her lips parted again, and after a shaky breath, she gave the smallest nod.“I…” She hesitated, then her voice steadied. “I trust you.”A flicker of something unreadable—relief?—passed through his eyes, but he only straightened and stepped back, offering his hand toward her.“Then come with me,” he said quietly.Penelope’s fingers hovered in the air, uncertain, before they slowly found his. His large, warm hand closed around hers, firm but careful.As their fingers touched, something strange pulsed through her chest—something she didn’t have time to understand.The path was barely visible, the ground soft with moss an

Mission

The afternoon sun beamed down on the Giovanni mansion.Inez, having finished tidying up the entire mansion, stepped outside, her sharp eyes scanning the area. She spotted Darla near the fountain, deep in conversation with another bodyguard.“Darla,” Inez called firmly, her voice steady but demanding attention.Darla turned immediately, her eyes softening with respect. “Yes, Inez?”“I’m heading in for a nap,” Inez stated, her tone clear. “I don’t want any disturbance. Make sure no one knocks or calls me.”Darla gave a firm nod, understanding how highly Brayden regarded Inez. “Understood. I’ll make sure you aren’t disturbed.”Inez’s lips curled slightly in approval. “Good.” Without another word, she turned and strode back into the mansion.The moment she entered her room, Inez locked the door, twisting the key with a sharp click. She paused for a second, listening—no footsteps, no voices. Satisfied, she rushed to her wardrobe, her heart pounding with an excitement she hadn’t felt in

Kill Her

Inez’s heart pounded as she sprinted through the dense forest, her lungs burning with each sharp breath. The cold night air cut through her, but she couldn’t stop—not now. Not ever. The flash drive pressed against her side, a tiny piece of plastic and metal that held the information they were willing to kill for.And they were right behind her.The crunch of heavy boots against the damp earth sent a spike of adrenaline through her veins. The men were getting closer, their sharp voices cutting through the silence of the trees.“She’s heading north!” one of them barked. “Don’t lose her! We have to get her before she escapes!”Branches whipped at her arms and legs as she ran, her body sore from the relentless escape. Every step was a gamble—one wrong move, one misstep, and she’d be dead. But Inez wasn’t the type to roll over and accept defeat.She darted through a clearing, but a bullet zipped past her, embedding itself into a tree trunk just inches from her head. She barely had ti

Silence

Inez crouched low behind a fallen tree, her pulse hammering in her ears. Her muscles ached from the endless running, and the cut on her arm throbbed, warm blood trickling down her sleeve. She clenched her jaw against the pain and forced herself to focus. The men were still searching for her, their flashlights slicing through the darkness like blades.“She has to be close!” one of them barked.Inez heard the sound of a gun being cocked. They weren’t playing around.She gripped the damp earth beneath her fingers, forcing her breaths to slow. She had to get to her van. It was parked on the dirt road just beyond the thick trees ahead, but the men were in the way. She needed a distraction.A few feet to her left, she spotted a thick, moss-covered rock. Quietly, she reached for it, her fingers curling around its rough surface. Holding her breath, she flung it in the opposite direction. It crashed against a tree with a loud crack.“There!” one of the

Distracted

Inez moved through the mansion’s backyard like a shadow, her breaths coming in short, sharp gasps. The pain in her side was getting worse, but she ignored it. Every step she took sent sharp jolts through her body, her wounds stinging from the dried blood clinging to her skin.She had to get back inside.Her eyes darted around, scanning for guards or any signs of movement. The mansion was still—too still. She knew the security team took shifts, but Darla and the others were sharp. If they suspected anything, they would double back.The window she had climbed out of earlier was just ahead. It was still slightly open, exactly as she had left it. She exhaled in relief. That was her way in.But just as she reached out to grab the ledge, the sound of footsteps sent her heart slamming against her ribs.She ducked.A flashlight beam swept across the yard.Damn it.One of the guards was making rounds. If she moved now, she’d be spotted. She pressed herself against the cold stone wall, bare

You Kissed Me Back

The drive back to the Giovanni Mansion was quieter than usual.Penelope sat beside Brayden, staring out of the window as the car moved through the dimly lit streets. The tension between them was thick, making every second stretch longer than it should. Neither of them spoke, but she could feel the occasional glance Brayden stole in her direction.She knew exactly why.The kiss.The memory of it burned fresh in her mind, making her heart hammer against her ribs.She swallowed hard, shifting slightly in her seat. Maybe it was just the heat of the moment. Maybe he wasn’t thinking straight when he kissed her.But then why hadn’t he said anything about it since?She snuck a glance at him. He looked composed, as if nothing had happened. His hands rested on the steering wheel, his gaze focused ahead, his jaw tight.Penelope exhaled softly and looked away again.It was fine.She would pretend it never happened.By the time they reached the mansion, it was already late. The butlers opened
