Chapter: Caught RED Handed.Chapter 5Julian (Simeon) PovAllison.Or, as I had known her for one unforgettable night: Red.Seeing her downstairs in the foyer, standing next to Sarah, had felt like a sudden, violent jolt to my system. I had spent the last two months trying to track down the sharp-tongued, captivating woman who had vanished from my bed before I woke up, leaving nothing behind but lingering scents of vanilla and cherry—a deadly combination—and a bruise on my ego.To find out she was the daughter my new stepmother wouldn’t stop raving about was a twist I hadn’t expected, but one I was absolutely going to exploreAllison choked out, her voice trembling as she tried to find her footing. She stepped slightly in front of her friend, a pathetic attempt at a shield. “What do you think you’re doing? “Sarah is on a call with my father, completely occupied,” I said, walking slowly into her space. The room was shrinking with every inch I closed between us. “And downstairs, I was playing by her rules. Up her

Chapter: Stranger From The BarChapter 4 Allison POV—-----MY stepson julian The name left my mom's mouth with a bright smile, completely unaware of the devastating weight those words carried. I tried to say something, but the words were cut off in my throat. A buzzing sound filled my ear. I could hear my heart beating in my chest. I stood there, not able to move, my fingers locking tightly around the strap of my purse.Julian The man that I had been dreaming about for months was standing right there looking at me. I echo his name in my mind, a cold sweat breaking out on my skin. That wasn’t the name I remembered. The name his friends had called him at the bar. He didn’t move; he simply stood there, his massive frame radiating a suffocating, arrogant aura that filled the entire room. In the light, intricate trails of the butterfly tattoo on the side of his neck looked stark, dark, and intimately familiar.Slowly, his amber eyes slid away from my mom and locked directly onto mine.The lazy, detached expression he

Chapter: Oh Sh*tChapter 3Allison POV“Are you sure about this, Ally?” Julie asked, brow furrowed with a flicker of genuine concern as she leaned across the table toward me. “I know you’re desperate to escape, but you and your mother aren’t exactly on the best of terms. Last I recalled, you two barely talk.”“I’m not certain, Julie,” I admitted, tracing circles on the table, trying to distract myself from my aching heart. “All I know is that I need a distraction.” My voice softened. “Maybe a change of scenery will be good for me.”Julie sighed, leaning back against the booth. “Isn’t she still on her honeymoon with her new CEO husband?”“She was,” I nodded. My mom, Sarah, recently remarried a wealthy man she met on Raya. They had just returned from a European honeymoon. I knew little about him, except that he was wealthy and he had a son. I planned to visit her during a week off to clear my head. Julie’s eyes twinkled as she demanded all the details about the new husband and son, and eventually decide

Chapter: Not Enough For YouChapter 2Allison POVI stared at Jake, searching for any shred of the man I knew, but all I could find in his eyes was a toxic mixture of loathing and resentment.A sickening realization settled in my chest. How long had he been harbouring these feelings? Had our entire relationship been a lie? Was I simply the punchline to his cruel joke?I stood frozen, my mind racing as I replayed every moment we had shared.Julie reached out, her hand light on my shoulder as she tried to pull me away.“They aren’t worth your breath, Ally. Let’s just leave.”But I couldn’t move. Not yet. I needed the truth, no matter how much it burned. I opened my mouth to demand an explanation, but he beat me to it.“You want the truth? Fine. Ruth and I have been seeing each other for over a year.”A year. The words echoed in my mind like a tolling bell of doom, drowning out everything else until the harsh reality of his voice dragged me back.“And don’t you dare start,” he snapped. I could feel my nails digging

Chapter: Betrayal.Chapter 1Alison’s PovTwo months earlier“I’m telling you, Ally, if Mr. Lucis asks me to rewrite that quarterly marketing report one more time, I’m going to lose my mind,” Julie groaned. Her heels clicked loudly against the concrete floor of the apartment complex hallway.She shifted a heavy stack of folders to her left arm and sighed as we walked toward the elevator.“He acts like we don’t have lives outside of the agency. He asked me to redo the proposal four times already. I’ve been staring at spreadsheets since eight this morning.”I offered her a half-hearted smile, adjusting the strap of my purse on my shoulder.“Look on the bright side,” I said. “The weekend is finally here, the campaign has been approved, and we actually managed to leave the office before dark for once.”Julie muttered something under her breath as the elevator came to a halt. The doors opened, and we stepped out into the hallway.“Barely,” Julie countered, though the tension in her shoulders eased slightly.
