For Ava’s Sake

Orion’s POVThe room hung in suspended tension, thick with the weight of unspoken truths and the silent judgments lingering between me, Ava, and Mason. I could feel her eyes on me, searching for something—anything—that would make sense of the chaos swirling in the air. And Mason? He had that same smug confidence, his posture unbothered, as if he held all the cards.I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of confronting him head-on. Not yet. But I could feel the quiet rage building beneath my skin, urging me to make my move. The truth was, I couldn’t stand seeing Ava caught in the middle of his web. But I wouldn’t let her see how deep the manipulation ran. Not yet. Not now.I smirked, feeling the thrill of the chase course through me. "Don't you think that you're playing the wrong side if you believe him?”Ava flinched, and for a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of uncertainty in her eyes. She wanted to believe me, I could see it in the way her lips parted as if to speak, but Mas

Obsession in Ashes

Chloe’s POV I hate Ava Miller with every part of my being.I’ve always been the kind of woman who knows exactly what she wants and how to get it. My life is a carefully orchestrated dance, where every step, every move, is designed to lead me to what I desire. And for as long as I can remember, all I’ve wanted is him. Orion Miller. The man who was supposed to be mine. It all started the night I laid eyes on him at Club Nine-O. The music was loud, bodies moving in sync with the pulsing bass, but none of that mattered the moment I saw him. Tall, broad-shouldered, with an air of quiet confidence that demanded attention. He didn’t belong in a place like that, but that’s what made him irresistible—he was too good for the chaos, too good for everyone in that club. Except me. By the end of the night, after hours of flirtation and a haze of drinks, we ended up tangled in each other’s arms. One night. That’s all it was supposed to be. But I didn’t see it that way. No, I decided right then

No Love Without War

Chloe's POV Minutes pass, and he’s still not here. I hated waiting. I hated uncertainty. The wine has lost its appeal, and so has the wait. I set the glass down, its base clicking against the marble table, and head to the bathroom. Time to clear my head. As the warm water cascades over my skin, I close my eyes and let the steam wrap around me like a cocoon. I stood there in the bath, the water cascading down my body, soothing my mind as I replayed my plan over and over again. Every detail was perfect—or so I hoped.But my moment of solitude is shattered when a hand grips my neck from behind, firm and unyielding. A gasp escapes my lips as I’m pulled against a hard chest. “You’re late,” I managed to say between shallow breaths.“Had to make sure I was ready to give you exactly what you deserve,” he growled, his voice deep and rough, sending a shiver down my spine.My breath hitches. My bare back presses into his heated skin. I could feel his arousal pressing against me—hard and re

The Enemy of My Enemy

Chloe’s POVThe city buzzed with activity as the afternoon sun bore down, casting long shadows across the pavement. I slipped on my sunglasses the moment I stepped out of the car, scanning the sleek glass structure of The Miller's Empire. It was almost noon, and despite the heat, the air carried a crisp tension. I had overheard Orion on a call earlier this morning—something about a breach in their system. A smirk tugged at my lips. If the board had any sense, they’d blame Ava and toss her out for good. But knowing Ava, she’d weasel her way out of trouble, as she always did. Wishful thinking, Chloe, I told myself. I was about to head to the nearby café, waiting for the perfect moment to cross paths with Mason when I spotted him storming out of the building.His face was a pool of fury and frustration—jaw clenched, eyes blazing, fists tight by his sides. A man scorned by love? Or maybe, just maybe, Orion had finally pushed him too far. Either way, this was my moment. This could be

An Unexpected Twist

Chloe's POV Before I could gather my senses and figure out who had yanked me so violently, someone dragged me across the floor by my hair. The grip was tight and unrelenting, making my scalp burn. My vision blurred as I tried to get a good look at my attacker. "You think you can steal him from me? Who do you think you are?" The woman’s voice rang out, shrill and full of venom. Before I could respond, Mason rushed forward, prying her hands away from my hair. "Ashley, stop it!" he hissed, dragging her back. She kicked and screamed, her wild eyes glaring at me with pure hatred. By now, a few patrons at the bar had turned their attention toward us, whispering among themselves. I was still on the floor, momentarily stunned by the sheer absurdity of the situation. I rubbed my head, wincing at the pain, then slowly looked up. Ashley, huh? She looked about twenty-six, with deep blue eyes that sparkled with fury and short blonde hair that barely grazed her chin. Her chest rose and fell r

Choosing Mason

Ava's POVCould he really stoop that low? Mason’s accusation still rang in my ears as I paced outside my office, each step filled with uncertainty. The thought of Orion being responsible for the security breach gnawed at me. I wanted to believe he wouldn’t go to such extremes—jeopardizing not just the company but everything his father had worked tirelessly to build. Yet, a small part of me couldn’t dismiss the possibility entirely. This was Orion Miller after all. He was capable of many things, most of which involved manipulation and getting his way. But Mason… Mason had always been by my side. Could he truly be the one behind this? I felt restless, anxiety tightening my chest. I glanced at the office door, my fingers itching to push it open, but I hesitated. Eavesdropping would seem unprofessional—what would my employees think if they caught me hunched over like a spy? Then again, I was their boss. Too bad I wasn’t above curiosity. With that excuse firmly in mind, I leaned against

Love and Loyalty

The door to the bar was just within reach when Ava’s phone rang, jolting her from her scattered thoughts. Her hand hesitated on the door handle as she stepped aside, glancing at the screen—Holly.A sharp pang of guilt hit her… ‘I haven’t spoken to her all day. She’s in a new country, alone, and I’ve been so caught up in this mess... What kind of sister am I?’ she thought to herself. Without a second thought, she hurriedly picked up, already apologizing before Holly could speak. “I’m so sorry for not calling, Hols—” But something was off. Holly didn’t greet her with her usual excited scream. Instead, there was silence, followed by faint static. “Hello? Hols? Are you there?” Ava’s heart tightened with unease. A few seconds later, a voice—cold, unfamiliar—cut through the silence. “Is this Mrs. Ava Miller?” Ava’s pulse quickened. “Yes. Who is this? Where’s my sister? Why do you have her phone?” “This is Nurse Fatima Ashville from Ashton Valley Medical Center, California.” The

The Fight for Ava’s Heart

Mason froze mid-step when he heard Ava's voice. Her call was faint, almost lost in the noise of the crowded airport, but it reached him, stopping him in his tracks. He turned slowly, his eyes locking onto hers as she hurried toward him.She didn't love him. He knew this more than anyone but he can't—no—he doesn't want to give up on making her see him.That is the only way.Ava didn’t care about the stares from strangers or the tension radiating from Orion behind her. She reached Mason, throwing her arms around his neck in an embrace that caught him off guard.“I’m sorry,” she whispered, her voice cracking. “I didn’t mean to push you away, Mason. I don’t want you to be upset, and I hate that you’re worried. Please don’t be.”Mason hesitated, his hands hovering uncertainly before they rested lightly on her back. His voice was soft, almost gentle. “Ava, it’s not about me. It’s about you and Holly. You don’t need to apologize.”Ava pulled back slightly, her eyes glistening. She smiled fai

The Walls Between Us

Orion’s POVRose’s call was still fresh in my mind as we made our way through the bustling streets toward Ashton Valley Medical Center. Her voice had been sharp, almost biting, as she filled me in on the situation. “You shouldn't mess this up again, Mr Miller,” Rose had said. “And before you even ask, no—this isn’t just about Holly. Ava’s had enough people letting her down. I know you're a good person, so I'm giving you the opportunity to make things right with her.” I was busy beating myself up on how things played out with Ava when Rose called me about the trip to California. I have to make things right no matter what it takes. I will never divorce Ava. Never.“I get it, Rose. And thank you,” I had replied, keeping my tone calm even as frustration bubbled beneath the surface. Rose never liked me so I was surprised to hear that she was willing to help. She always had a way of making everything seem like it was entirely my fault. But she was right this time at least.“And anothe

“Who is After my Wife?”

Orion’s POVThe message on Ava’s phone was short but chilling, each word sharp like a dagger to my chest: “You thought you could escape me? You’ll learn soon enough. Watch your back, Mrs Miller. Accidents happen when you least expect them.”The number was unknown, no name attached, just a string of digits that looked ordinary but carried a sinister weight. My grip on the phone tightened, heart pounding as I re-read the message, each line feeding the growing rage inside me. Who the hell dared to threaten her? I quickly copied the number onto my own phone and deleted the message from Ava’s before placing it back gently where it had been. She stirred slightly, and I froze, my breath caught in my throat. After a moment, she settled, still deep in sleep. A wave of guilt crashed over me, almost drowning the fury simmering beneath my skin. Is this what she’s been dealing with? How long has this been happening while I was too blind to see? I clenched my jaw tightly, cursing myself. I
