Chapter 21

In a small apartment...Helen paced around the living room, her eyes occasionally drifting to the television where the news about Mr. Bayou’s death still flashed across the screen. It was a rare moment of satisfaction for her. The successful completion of her first task for Delilah gave her a sense of power she hadn’t felt in a long time. She had gathered all the necessary details about Mr. Bayou, confirmed he was Mrs. Gaga’s cheating husband, and now he was gone. Helen smiled to herself, briefly savoring the victory.That smile quickly faded when she heard the unmistakable sound of the front door creaking open, followed by heavy, uneven footsteps. Her heart sank as she turned toward the door. Jonah was home.Jonah staggered through the entrance, reeking of alcohol, his shirt untucked and wrinkled. His eyes were bloodshot, and he muttered confusedly under his breath. Helen’s disheartened expression mirrored the way she felt every time she saw him like this. It had become an al

Chapter 22

The idea was dark, but the thought lingered. After all, Helen had already helped take down someone like Mr. Bayou. What was stopping her from turning that newfound power toward her own life?Just as the thought solidified in her mind, a small voice interrupted her."Mommy?"Helen blinked and turned to see her daughter, Zoe, standing in the doorway of the living room, rubbing her sleepy eyes. The little girl’s dark curls were a messy halo around her head, and she clutched her stuffed bunny to her chest, its worn ears flopping to the side. Zoe’s pajamas were a little too big, the sleeves hanging down past her hands, making her look even smaller than she already was."Hey, sweetie." Helen forced a smile, kneeling down and opening her arms. "What are you doing up?"Zoe toddled over, her little legs moving quickly as she rushed into her mother’s arms. Helen pulled her daughter into a hug, the warmth of Zoe’s small body grounding her, pushing the darker thoughts away for the moment."I

Chapter 23

A loud sound echoed through the room, startling Delilah awake. She blinked a few times, disoriented, before realizing she was sprawled on the bed. Marco was gone. Her gaze flicked over the disheveled pillow beside her, the blankets tossed aside as if he had just left. Her long auburn curls now hung in tousled waves around her face, and she absentmindedly pushed them out of her eyes as she slowly sat up.She exhaled, leaning back against the headboard, and let the events of last night replay in her mind. A sly smile curled on her lips as she remembered the warmth of Marco’s body wrapped around hers. "God, his arms felt amazing around me."She could still feel the gentle pressure of his hands on her, the heat of his skin seeping into her own. "I love how he smells
 all masculine and sexy."She closed her eyes, savoring the memory. It wasn’t just the physical closeness, it was the way it made her feel
 safe."Why did I feel so safe with him?" That thought gnawed at her. She wasn

Chapter 24

With one last glance at Marco, who seemed absorbed in his paper, Delilah left the house, feeling light and exhilarated. She strode briskly down the street toward the cafĂ©, the thrill of her secret job and the excitement of a new client adding a spring to her step. The notification from Shh, I Tame Real Men had informed her that the client was expected at the cafĂ© in about a minute. She glanced at her watch. "Better not be late," she thought, quickening her pace.As she reached the cafĂ©, she was pleased to see the space was spotless. The tables gleamed, the counters were polished, and the morning sunlight filtered in through the clean windows. Helen had clearly done her job well.Delilah pushed open the door, her face lighting up in a broad smile as she greeted Helen. "Morning, Helen! Looks like you’ve been hard at work."Helen managed a smile back. "Good morning, Delilah."Something in Helen’s eyes flickered, but Delilah, too preoccupied with the anticipation of meeting her clie

Helen’s face went even paler, her voice trembling as she spoke. "I’m sorry
 I just—"Delilah placed a hand on her forehead, closing her eyes as she processed Helen’s request. The frustration simmered in her, but beneath it, she felt a small pang of sympathy. Helen’s voice had sounded so desperate. But this was more than just a favor—it was a breach of the very foundations they had all agreed on."Helen," she said slowly, dropping her hand and opening her eyes, "the rules exist to protect us, all of us. If we start bending them now, then what’s to stop us from doing it again? And what’s to stop someone else from asking the same thing later?"Ruby leaned back, crossing her arms. "I mean, if we’re going to break every rule for everyone’s convenience, we may as well quit.""Stop it, Ruby," Delilah said firmly, cutting her off again. She turned her gaze to Helen, and though her tone was gentle, her eyes were firm. "I understand that this isn’t easy. We all have struggles, and I’m sorry y

Chapter 26

Just then, Helen's voice cut in, her eyes fixed on the security monitor. "Guys, look."Delilah's fingers tightened around her phone as she turned to the screen. Her mind spun as she watched Marco's figure shift, stepping back and glancing around. There was no mistaking him now: the shape of his jaw, the mess of dark hair, the athletic build that hinted at more than a casual gym habit."What's he doing here?" Helen's voice was quiet, her eyes darting between Delilah and the screen, uncertain. "Is... is he following you?"Delilah could barely answer. Part of her wanted to laugh at the absurdity of it, another part wanted to storm outside and demand answers. Why was Marco here? Why hadn't he simply knocked, instead of skulking around like a stranger in the night?Ruby, however, seemed to find the whole situation mildly entertaining. "Well, if he wanted to make an impression, he's certainly doing it. But maybe next time he should try the doorbell?"Delilah's tone was a warning. "Ruby

Chapter 27

Delilah blinked, gathering herself. She looked at Ruby with that cool, indifferent expression she’d mastered over the years. "I disabled the audio because I felt like it," she replied, voice low but steady. "I found it unnecessary for you to be listening to my conversation."Ruby scoffed, her arms dropping to her sides as she took a step forward. "Listening?" she echoed, her tone daring Delilah to challenge her. "Just admit it, Delilah—you’re keeping something from us. From me and Helen."Delilah tilted her head, her eyes shifting to where Helen was quietly pulling up the blinds on the café’s front windows, her back to them as she worked. She gestured toward Helen. "Look at her, Ruby. She’s actually busy with work rather than suspecting me," Delilah said, her voice carrying a subtle hint of reproach.Ruby turned, glancing over her shoulder at Helen, who was diligently adjusting the "Closed" sign, flipping it to "Open" without a second thought. She looked back at Delilah, a dry l

Chapter 28

Delilah turned sharply, her gaze locking with Marco’s. A sly grin played at his lips as he leaned against the doorframe, clearly amused. She swallowed, caught in the moment, but quickly masked her reaction."I was just
 curious," she replied, her voice steady despite her racing heartbeat.Marco chuckled, a glint of something dangerous and thrilling in his eyes. Without another word, Delilah turned and continued to her bedroom, her cheeks warming under his gaze.Once inside, she took a deep breath, steadying herself. She changed into her nightgown, then opened the drawer of her nightstand, intending to check on her black book. To her relief, it was still there, untouched. But beside it, a small velvet-colored jewelry box caught her eye. Frowning, she picked it up, her pulse quickening as she opened it.Inside was a golden wristwatch, gleaming in the dim light. The design was unmistakable—the Graff Diamonds Hallucination, a watch worth over fifty millions. Delilah’s heart skipp

Chapter 29

Marco's body pressed against hers, his hardness throbbing against her core, sending shivers down her spine. Delilah's breath caught as Marco positioned himself, his gaze holding hers, filled with desire and adoration. "Will you...fit?" Delilah whispered, her cheeks flushing.Marco's lips curled into a sly smirk. "Perfectly," he whispered back, his eyes glinting with confidence.Marco reached for his nightstand, grabbing protection before turning back to Delilah.With one smooth motion, Marco slid into her, filling her completely. Delilah's gasp was lost in his mouth as he claimed her, his lips devouring hers with a hunger that left her breathless.To her surprise, Marco fit perfectly, stretching her in all the right ways. His presence inside her was like coming home, a sense of belonging she'd never known before."It's like my body was made for him," she thought, amazed.Their bodies moved in perfect sync, Marco's thrusts slow and deliberate, building tension. Delilah's hands gripp

Chapter 30

The next morning...Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a soft, golden glow across the room.Delilah stirred, still nestled against Marco’s chest, his arm resting protectively around her. A soft smile crept across her face as the memories of last night resurfaced, every passionate moment vivid in her mind. She finally felt the edge of those dirty dreams soften, her desires finally realized in Marco’s arms. She stretched slightly, savoring the pleasant soreness that reminded her of how he’d claimed her as his.Turning her head, she saw him watching her with a warm, lazy smile, his eyes gentle but glinting with satisfaction. His hair was tousled, and his morning scruff made him look ruggedly irresistible."Good morning, beautiful," he murmured, his voice deep and husky with sleep.Her cheeks warmed under his gaze. "Morning." She felt her heartbeat quicken, though they’d shared so much just hours before. He had a way of making her feel vulnerable and exhilarated at once,
