61. Getting attached

The city lights cast faint glows against the penthouse walls as Darcy leaned against the door, her breath uneven. Her mind was hazy, not just from the alcohol but from the way Adrian was looking at her. It wasn’t playful, nor teasing, it was something deeper, something raw.Neither of them spoke.Adrian’s eyes flickered over her, reading the tension in her shoulders, the way she gripped the fabric of her dress as if grounding herself. He stepped closer, slow and deliberate, testing the space between them.She didn’t move away.His fingers brushed her arm, barely a touch, yet it sent a shiver down her spine. “Darcy…” His voice was low, rough around the edges.She exhaled shakily, tilting her head up to meet his gaze. “Don’t.”“Don’t what?” His fingers skimmed higher, tracing the curve of her shoulder, the exposed skin burning under his touch.“Don’t act like this means anything,” she whispered, though her body betrayed her, leaning into him instead of away.Adrian’s jaw tightened. He r

62. You’re dead if I catch you

The next morning, Aelia groggily opened her eyes searching for her phone as usual but the empty space irked her and she jolted awake to discover a strange surrounding, her first instinct was to find her purse but a sharp headache halted her movement. With hands to her head she sluggishly reached for her purse and grabbed her phone. “Owww I feel like shit, I shouldn’t have drank so much—ah!”The fog in her eyes cleared. “What? Thirty missed calls?!” A second later and the memories of last night came crashing in, mixed with the splitting headaches. Aelia’s first thought was to glance at herself. A ripple of gasp leaked from her mouth. “It wasn’t a dream, Pedro—Pedro really… he really! Oh my gosh!” Her crash out was interrupted by a continuous buzzing sound. Messages from Mike, Darcy even her workplace groups were flooding in but that wasn’t the shocker. A message from Sola stole her attention. Two words ( “Come home.”)Then suddenly, a ton of messages from her trucked in. (“Whe

63. You took advantage of me

Darcy’s head throbbed with a vengeance. Every dull pulse behind her skull reminded her that tequila was the devil, and she had willingly danced with it last night.With a groan, she shifted under the sheets, peeling one eye open and instantly regretted it.Sunlight sliced through the curtains like a knife, blinding her as she hissed and buried her face into the pillow. That was when she noticed the warmth beside her.Shit.She turned her head slowly, already dreading what she’d see.Adrian.Shirtless.Leaning against the headboard with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand, his dark eyes locked onto her in amusement.“Morning, sunshine.” His voice was irritatingly smooth, like he’d been awake for hours, watching her suffer.Darcy squeezed her eyes shut. “No. Absolutely not.”Adrian smirked over the rim of his cup. “You sound disappointed. How hurtful.”Darcy threw the sheets off herself and sat up too fast. The world tilted, nausea crawling up her throat. She groaned, pressing her pal

64. Catching feelings?

Darcy stood at the foot of the bed, arms crossed, trying to keep her face neutral despite the fact that Adrian was sitting there shirtless, sheets hanging dangerously low on his hips. His brown hair was tousled from sleep, his emerald eyes gleaming with amusement as he stretched, completely unbothered.“You took advantage of me last night,” he repeated smoothly, running a hand through his messy hair.Darcy nearly choked. “What?”Adrian sighed dramatically, shaking his head. “I knew you had a wild side, but I didn’t think you’d go that far.”Darcy’s stomach flipped. The worst part? She had no idea if he was lying. She barely remembered anything. The alcohol had wiped out most of her night, leaving her with nothing but fragmented memories and a pounding headache.But there was no way she was admitting that.“You’re full of shit,” she shot back, shifting her weight onto one foot.Adrian just smirked, leaning back against the headboard like a king on his throne. “Oh? So you do remember?”

65. Seen a ghost

Aelia sat stiffly across from the woman, she indeed ended up calling her but now she was here, she couldn’t help second guessing her choices.She kept toying with the edge of her glass. The restaurant was high-end, the type with pristine white tablecloths and silverware polished to a blinding shine. She should have felt out of place, but after everything, she had learned to adapt.The woman, impeccably dressed, blonde waves cascading over her shoulders, watched her with a calm expression, the air between them thick with anticipation.“You must be wondering why I stopped you,” the woman finally spoke, her voice smooth and deliberate.Aelia leaned back in her seat, lifting the glass to her lips just to buy herself a moment. “It’s crossed my mind.”The woman’s lips curled at the edges. “You look just like her.”Aelia’s grip tightened around the glass, but she feigned nonchalance. “I get that a lot these days.”The woman folded her hands on the table, studying Aelia with sharp, assessing

66. Who has her leash?

The Moretti estate was a palace of indulgence, gilded in opulence and teeming with people too rich to care about anything but their own amusement. The air was thick with the scent of expensive perfume and champagne, but Aelia barely registered any of it.She was late.And from the way eyes flickered toward her, from the way the conversations momentarily hushed before resuming with a sharper edge…people had noticed.Valeria stood at the base of the grand staircase, draped in an emerald gown that was designed to command attention. She held a champagne flute loosely in one hand, though the way her fingers tapped against the crystal suggested impatience.Aelia barely had time to brace herself before Valeria’s voice, smooth as silk but laced with thorns, cut through the air.“Well, well,” Valeria murmured, tilting her head with slow amusement. “Look who finally decided to show up. You took your time, didn’t you?”Aelia smirked, stepping forward with the ease of someone who wasn’t rattled e

67. In my arms tonight

The party thrived in its own decadent haze, crystal glasses clinking, low laughter bleeding into the opulent music, the undercurrent of power struggles masked behind pleasantries. But amidst it all, Derrick found himself slipping, his carefully crafted detachment cracking with each glance in Louisa’s direction.She was standing near the bar, effortlessly poised, swirling the champagne in her glass without taking a sip. She was listening to something one of Pedro’s associates was saying, but Derrick knew she wasn’t really paying attention.She never did when she was trying to distract herself.And he could tell, because she was still wearing it.The necklace.A simple piece of silver, unassuming to anyone else, but to him, it might as well have been a damn shackle around his throat.Louisa had no reason to keep it. She should have thrown it away. Should have sold it. Should have done anything other than let it rest against her skin like a secret confession.Yet there it was.Derrick

68. You still love me

Derrick picked up pace behind Louisa. The tension between them had always been there, silent, unseen by others, but thick enough to choke on.Derrick had spent years perfecting the art of pretending. Pretending that she didn’t exist, pretending that she didn’t affect him. But tonight, Louisa was making it impossible.She stood before him in that sleek black dress, her hair cascading over one shoulder, lips painted the same deep red that used to stain his neck. And that damn necklace, the very one he had given her years ago still clung to her throat like a ghost of their past.He should’ve ignored it, should’ve walked away. But the way she tilted her head, the way her sharp gaze dared him to acknowledge what they were, what they had been…it shattered something in him.“That necklace,” Derrick finally spoke after tailing her to a much secluded spot, his voice low, rough. “You still wear it.”Louisa’s fingers brushed over the pendant absentmindedly, but her expression didn’t waver. “So

69. The woman who refused to be his

“I’m not getting back with you, Jamie.”Aelia’s voice was firm, allowing no room for misinterpretation.Jamie exhaled, dragging a hand down his face as he turned to look at her. They were in a quieter part of the venue now, away from the prying eyes of high society. The air between them was thick with words unsaid and wounds unhealed.“That’s not why I pulled you away,” Jamie said, though the look in his eyes betrayed him. “I just… I needed to talk to you.”Aelia crossed her arms. “Then talk.”He hesitated. “You didn’t answer any of my calls.”“I didn’t want to.”Jamie let out a bitter chuckle. “That much was obvious.”Silence settled between them. Aelia tapped her fingers against her arm impatiently, waiting for him to get to the point.Jamie sighed. “Aelia, I made a mistake.”Her jaw clenched. “Which one? Not choosing me, or thinking you could fix it now?”His expression faltered, but he didn’t back down. “I didn’t have a choice—”“There’s always a choice,” she cut in. “And you made

70. Let. Her. Go

The announcement of the dance echoed through the grand hall, and Aelia barely had time to react before Cassius stepped forward, extending his hand.“Dance with me,” he said, his voice smooth yet firm, leaving no room for refusal.Aelia hesitated, but Jamie’s relentless gaze from across the room solidified her decision. Without a word, she took Cassius’s hand, allowing him to lead her toward the dance floor.The moment their hands touched, a ripple of murmurs coursed through the crowd. The sight of the elusive Cassius De Luca, a man known for avoiding public spectacles, willingly guiding a woman into a dance was enough to draw attention.But Aelia barely paid it any mind.What she did notice, however, was Pedro’s reaction.She felt his stare before she even saw it, an oppressive weight against her spine. When she glanced in his direction, it was to find him standing rigid, his expression dark as he barely acknowledged the man speaking to him, a man who had been showering him with prais
