Chapter: Chapter 16It was still early, the kind of stillness where the world hadn't yet decided to wake up. A soft breeze fluttered through the open window, brushing against the curtain and carrying in the faint scent of morning dew. I lay in bed, still wrapped in the quiet warmth of sleep, when suddenly, tiny hands began to explore my face they were soft, eager, and insistent. I felt the gentle taps first tiny soft and warm fingers brushing across my cheek, poking my nose, then playing with my lashes like they were a toy. I didn’t open my eyes right away. I just laid there, still, because am not ready for the morning yet letting the feeling melt into my chest Then I heard it.That tiny pure giggle filled with unfiltered joy,like he was proud of his actions My eyes fluttered open, and there he was Ezra, my little sunshine, lying beside me with that bright smile that could melt the hardest heart. His messy curls flopped over his forehead, his chubby little hand pressing against my cheek, his big b

Chapter: Chapter 9I woke with a gasp. The room was too bright. Too big and unfamiliar. I blinked rapidly feeling disoriented. My heart raced as I sat up slowly, trying to take in the plush surroundings Where am I? Before panic could fully settle, the door creaked open, and Marcus stepped in. he was dressed in a plain white shirt and dark jeans, he looked effortlessly handsome, his expression softening the moment he saw me awake. “Hey,” he said gently, rushing to my side. “You’re up. How are you feeling?” “I…” My voice caught in my throat. “What… what am I doing here?” “You fainted,” he said, crouching beside the bed, his brows pinched with worry. “At the party. Kai’s engagement So I brought you to my home.” And just like that, the memories hit me like a crashing wave. The lights. The kiss. His eyes locking with mine. The applause. I couldn’t stop it ,the tears spilled down my cheeks, fast and hot, before I could even process the ache rising from my chest. Marcus looked startled for a second,

Chapter: Chapter 8I stepped out of the car, heart rattling against my ribs like it was trying to flee before I did. The building towered over me all glass, steel, and power sleek and intimidating. People moved in and out like they belonged. Suits, heels, phones to their ears. Everyone looked important. Everyone looked like they knew why they were here. I… did not. Still, I walked in. The air inside was crisp and cool, carrying the faint scent of expensive coffee and ambition. My shoes made soft taps against the marble floor, almost drowned by the chatter and distant footsteps echoing around the high-ceilinged lobby. His name Kai Ashford gleamed in silver on the wall behind the reception. And there… there was his photo. A massive portrait of him, arms crossed, confident, untouchable. My stomach twisted. What the hell am I doing here? I stood frozen near the elevator bank, trying to breathe evenly, trying not to scream. I didn’t even know what floor his office is I didn’t know if I’d be allowed pas

Chapter: Chapter 7Kai never knocked. He always walked straight in, like the penthouse was his second skin. I hesitated at the door, then opened it slowly.And there she was.An elegant elderly woman stood outside. Regal in posture, dressed in muted designer tones that whispered wealth, not screamed it. Her silver-streaked bun was so neat it could’ve been sculpted. She looked me over with a sharp, unreadable gaze. For a second, her expression flickered. As if seeing me standing in that penthouse doorway was wrong, offensive even.“Good afternoon ” I started, but she brushed past me without a word, her heels clicking softly on the marble floor.The scent of expensive perfume lingered behind the woman like a signature.She give the living room a 360 look before turning halfway, scanning me with a gaze that sliced through politeness. “Who are you?” Her voice was calm, but edged in sharp authority, The question wasn’t casual it was loaded.“I’m… Lena. I—uh—I stay here with Kai,”my answer was clumsy She did

Chapter: Chapter 6I didn’t remember how I walk out of the building.Everything felt like white noise.By the time I reached home, my heels felt like bricks and my soul even heavier. I kicked them off at the door and dropped my bag on the floor without a second glance. The room was silent, painfully so,I needed the quiet… or maybe I deserved it.I lay on my bed fully dressed, my back facing the twinkle ceiling, but my mind was running wild.I am starting to feel exhausted,the thought of Kai is eating me up,why did it hurt this much? It's just 2 days without him and I think I can't survive it I sighed, closing my eyes, trying not to let the sting win.I was there just tossing around thinking and wondering about this new life till sun start to sets that’s when the room door creaked open.I blinked up, It was Kai."Kai?" I sat up, startled, my voice shaking more than I wanted it to.He was grinning, a soft smile plastered on the face I yearn for,"You’re home?" I breathed, rushing up from the bed.Before I

Chapter: Chapter 5The penthouse was quiet, the kind of silence that pressed against my ears, loud and suffocating in its stillness. Every tick of the clock echoed like a hammer in my chest. I stayed there all night, perched on the edge of the velvet couch, waiting for him to come back. The city lights spilled through the tall windows, casting long shadows across the marble floor, but the door never opened.I waited and waited.Night bled into morning, and still nothing. My bags remained packed, untouched in the corner, like silent witnesses to my uncertainty. They felt like an accusation, mocking me for clinging to hope. I hadn’t expected much, but I held onto it anyway, gripping the fragile thread as though it could anchor me to him.I wanted to call, to hear his voice just once, but the words caught in my throat every time I picked up the phone. What if he ignored me again? That's will hurt me more buts what's wrong with him,I am worried about him I told myself I didn’t want to be an inconvenience, t
