Chapter: UltimatumAlexander’s POVI closed the door of the closet behind me and stood there for a moment, my hands still resting on the handle. I glanced toward the room, half expecting to find her standing exactly where I met her.But she was gone. My eyebrows pulled together as my gaze dropped to the floor The scattered notes on the floor lay untouched. She hadn’t touched a single one. I stared at them genuinely surprised. Most women wouldn’t have walked away from that kind of money. Especially not after the way I’d dismissed her. Usually, I didn’t have to wonder whether someone had been offended by my behavior. They either stayed and tried to win my attention or made sure I knew exactly how unhappy they were.But she’d simply left.But then again, what did I expect? My mother had been doing this for years—putting women in my path, arranging meetings I never asked for, pretending every woman she introduced was the answer to a problem I had never considered a problem, maybe this was one of her plots

Chapter: Morning AfterThe sound of the shower running woke me up, for a few seconds, I stared at the ceiling too disoriented to understand where I was.I sat up groggily, the duvet slid off me exposing my naked body, just then all the memories came rushing to me in waves.My eyes widened, I pushed myself upright and stood clutching the sheets around myself as I immediately searched the room for my clothes, I spotted them scattered near the foot of the bed. I reached to grab them but the sound of the door opening left me frozen as he came out. He had a towel hung low on his hips and his hair was still wet, dripping from the shower, his six-pack abs were on full display. His deep voice broke me out of my reverie. “It’s good you're up.” He said, as he walked over to where I stood. His gaze briefly dropped to my clothes that lay crumpled on the floor before returning to my face, his expression remained completely unreadable. I tightened my grip on the sheets as he walked closer to where I stood. “Now lea

Chapter: One night standThe liquid burned a fiery path down my throat. I squeezed my eyes shut, my body buckled in on itself, coughing violently as my chest erupted in heat. Tears sprang to my eyes.“What the hell….” I rasped, grabbing my throat. “I warned you, didn’t I?” I looked up through watery eyes. The infuriating man beside me hadn’t moved, his expression was blank.He passed me a glass of water before I could say anything else, I emptied it in big gulps.I set the glass down on the counter with a thud, “People drink this willingly?” I grimaced.The corners of his mouth twitched.” Usually not in one gulp.” His gaze remained on me almost as if he was studying me. One eyebrow lifted. “Still wanna drink?” he teased.I knew he was teasing me, but I didn’t take it that way. I nodded and watched as his expression morphed into amusement. He studied me for another second before pouring a small amount from his bottle into his glass and sliding it toward me.I stared at it for a moment before picking it up

Chapter: Failed proposalI held the room key in my sweaty palms, feeling both anxious and excited as I looked at the room number written on it. A smile tugged at my lips despite the butterflies fluttering wildly in my stomach, and each step I took felt heavier than the last.Clara, my best friend, had accidentally let it slip a few weeks ago. I sat her down and made her spill all the details about the proposal David had been planning for months.“Room 108,” I whispered to myself with a nervous grin.When I reached the room, I was about to knock when I heard a beep from my phone. I glanced at it briefly, but seeing Clara’s name, I ignored it. She was just a doorway away now. I didn’t bother knocking. I pushed the door open and entered.The sight knocked the air out of my lungs.David was on one knee, his outstretched hands holding out a ring to none other than Clara. The lively chatter immediately died down. Everyone looked at me like I was a rotten egg spoiling the atmosphere. David’s friends, the ones I had
