Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTY - FOURNICK WALKER ©“What the fuck is wrong with you?” I asked, pushing him aside.“Tell me what the person says,” he said, pulling me out of the restroom.“Let me go… right now,” I told him, stopping in my tracks.He sucked in a deep breath and slowly let go of my hand.“I need you to understand…” he started.“Can we not talk right now?” I cut him off and tried to walk away, but he stepped right in front of me.“Nick, listen to me. I need to know what the person said when he called,” he said, and I sighed.“Why on earth are you making a fuss over a prank call?” I snapped.“Because I need to know, Nick,” he shot back.“Fine. He told me to tell Vadim to keep ‘me’ safe because… I don’t know. I forgot what else he said,” I said, trying to walk past him.He blocked my path, making me stop in my tracks.I took a deep breath, ran my hands through my hair, sighing.“I need to leave,” I said firmly.“Not until you remember what the person said.” He frowned, and I scoffed.I pinched the bridge of my

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTY - THREENICK WALKER ©I let out a shaky breath into the pillow under my face.“I’m going to be okay,” I kept telling myself as I lay there.But I knew I was lying.I wasn’t okay.We weren’t okay.I bit my lip, trying to hold back the tears I had been holding back since I left Enzo’s house.“Are you going to lie there forever?” I heard Avery ask from across the room.“It’s nothing,” I said in a muffled voice.“Okay, time’s up. Get up,” Avery said as she tried to pull me up.I groaned as she tried to sit me up. Our eyes met, and I let out a sigh.“It’s not what I think…” she started, then stopped as she looked around for Mira.I rolled my eyes and dropped back onto the couch, burying my face in the cushion.“Well, what can I say?” she said with a teasing smile.My hole still hurts like hell like it's never going to heal. My body grew tired and worn out, and I couldn't talk about it. Not even with my best friend.We stayed quiet for a while before I finally spoke.“Something is wrong with Enzo,

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTY - TWOLORENZO GRAYSON\ VADIM KERZHAKOV ©He gently pulled his face from mine, biting back a moan. His fingers pierced my skin as I thrust my fingers in.I wrapped my hands on his nape and pulled him for a kiss.“Argh.“ He moaned and whimpered as I pushed my fingers in him.He kept his gaze on me which strangely caused my cock to tighten, I thrust deeper as we moved in pace together.I grabbed my hardened cock and looked around for a lubricant.“Fuck it.“ I whispered and dropped spit on my hardened cock.“It's going to hurt.“ I told him, and his hand gripped my arm as he tried to even his breath.I leaned down and kissed him, exploring his mouth with my tongue, savouring the sweetness of his lips.I stroked my hard cock and pushed the tip of it inside him, making Nick gasp as he rolled his eyes, his hand still gripping my arm.I took his hair from his face and ran my hand through his hair. “Breathe." I told him, looking into his eyes as his breath came out uneven before he gave a slow nod.

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTY - ONENICK WALKER © I always held Enzo close whenever we were together, and it includes this moment also. I sometimes get the fear that he might run from my arms and I can't explain where that feeling came from. Maybe I wasn't wrong to feel that way. For a moment, it felt like I was about to lose him. But he was here again, his tongue stuck in mine. He pulled away from me and stared at my bleeding wrist. The cloth wrapped around it was already soaked with blood. He let out a sigh and turned to leave, but I quickly grabbed his shirt. He looked back at me and ruffled my hair, giving me a short smile before gently removing my hand from his shirt. Then he walked out of the gym, leaving me alone. I stared down at my wrist. It hurt, but I barely registered the pain. My mind was too focused on Enzo. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I looked across the large gym and noticed cigarettes and ashes scattered across the floor. Everything was a mess. It looked like he had bee

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTYNICK WALKER ©After my conversation with Mr. Kyle that day, I still couldn't get hold of Enzo for another three days.Mr. Kyle wasn't letting me see him because his men kept stopping me. Even when he left his office, one thing or another always stopped me from getting to him.My head was a mess. Back at home, I had planned a small outing for Mira and Mom without telling either of them. But it turned into a failure, just like I expected.Mira and I had a fight before I left home for work.Enzo still wasn't replying to my messages.I pressed my lips together and stared at the entrance of the bar."What's got you thinking?" Shawn asked as he stood in front of the counter."Ah. Nothing, really," I said with a forced smile.I suddenly spotted Mr. Kyle leaving his office upstairs with his men. I quickly grabbed my phone."Where are you going?" Shawn asked as I left my station.“Uh, the bathroom. Cover for me for a while,” I told him before walking outside.Before I could get to him, his men

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY - NINENICK WALKER ©The exams were over, and the holiday had finally started. But I hadn't been able to reach Enzo for the past three days.He hadn't come to my house, and I hadn't seen him at work either. He wasn't replying to my texts or answering my calls.I couldn't stop worrying.I just wanted to know if he was okay.Was he sick?“Aren't you going to eat?” Avery asked as we sat down for lunch.I sighed as I stared at the food in front of me.“If you're not going to eat it, give it to me,” Avery said, pulling my plate toward herself.Seriously?Before she could take another bite, Mira smacked the back of Avery's hand with her spoon and pulled the plate back to me.“Ow! That hurt.”“Mira, apologize,” I said quickly as I took Avery's hand to check it.“How did you even choose her as your friend?” Mira asked, shaking her head as she continued eating.“He wasn't eating. You didn't have to be so harsh,” Avery said, rubbing the spot where Mira had hit her.“Well... sorry,” Mira mumbled.Avery

Chapter: CHAPTER 30ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★I paced around the room, hands shaky, lips dry. My heart was pounding so loud, I thought the entire office could hear it. I didn’t want anyone to see me like this, not today. Not after everything. My company had just been sabotaged. Files leaked, projects exposed, clients calling nonstop, investors angry and confused. Everything I had built was crumbling, and I was just... standing there.Lauren stood by me, glued to her phone, doing everything she could to calm the storm. I knew she was trying, I really did, but I couldn’t hear her voice clearly. The noise around me was deafening. My workers were all answering phones, trying to explain what they didn’t understand themselves. Police were walking through the building, inspecting, asking questions. One of them talked to the injured security guard, who was already bandaged up but still looked shaken."Ma'am? Ma'am? Mrs Lightwood?"I blinked and looked up. The head of police was staring at me, waiting for an answer I h

Chapter: CHAPTER 29JEREMY LIGHTWOOD I turned to the other side on the bed, meeting Rosalind sleeping soundly. Yesterday had been a rough day for her as she claims Clara had taken her ring with a pretence of helping her.I tucked her hair behind her ear just to watch her sleep. As if stirred by my touch, her eyes fluttered opened meeting mine with a mix of suprise and lingering frustration.“Good morning”I said to her. She shrugged my hands off her and sat up on the bed with a sigh. “Good morning” She replied. I could sense she was still angered at what had happened yesterday with Clara. “Still pissed?“I asked her as I rolled out of the bed to get ready for work. “You tell me” She retorted.“Why do I feel you're taking this out on me also?“ I questioned as I watched her lay back on the bed with a sigh.“Why do you think I am, it obviously because of you this happened.“ She said with no remorse in her words. “All because of a damn ring you claim Clara stole from you”. I retorted with a bit of anger l

Chapter: CHAPTER 28 ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★The good for something alarm blared loudly, prompting a groan as I stretched my arms to silence it. As I lay in bed, the familiar scent enveloped me, and I instinctively reached out, hoping to find him beside me. But when I opened my eyes, reality set in—I was back home, wearing one of his T-shirts. Slowly, I rose to my feet, taking in the comforting yet bittersweet surroundings."No wonder I caught a whiff of his scent," I mused, rising slowly to my feet, a tingling ache in my core reminding me of last night’s events. I covered my eyes to hide the blush creeping up my cheeks and made my way to the bathroom for a hot bath. It was the first day of the year, and the fashion house would be reopening today.After a quick but refreshing bath, I emerged from the bathroom and diligently applied my favorite skincare products, all while slipping into my office attire. Grabbing my bag, I hurried to leave the house."You seem to be in a rush," Gran remarked as I encountered

Chapter: CHAPTER 27ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★It's the final day of December. The biting cold outside sent shivers through me as I adjusted the thick duvet around my body, yearning to snuggle closer to Jeremy. I rubbed my hands against the bed, expecting to find him there, but Opening my eyes, I was met with an empty space. Glancing around the room, I confirmed its solitude before rising from the bed to check the time—it was only nine in the morning. Slipping into my cozy bedroom slippers, I made my way downstairs, the chill of the day still lingering in the air.I searched his private office, but he was nowhere to be found."You're awake?" Grandma asked, her eyes lighting up as she spotted me."Yes, good morning," I replied, walking over to her in the living room and wrapping her in a warm hug before scanning the room for any sign of Jeremy."Oh, Jeremy isn't home right now; he didn't want to wake you when he left early this morning," she said, her attention fixed on the news."He left? Where did he go?" I a

Chapter: CHAPTER 26JEREMY LIGHTWOOD★I was lost in a deep, comforting sleep when a voice, one I would cherish hearing every day, gently stirred me awake. As I smiled and turned to her, she sat beside me on the bed and pressed her lips to mine. "Good morning! Come on, get up; we have breakfast to enjoy, and a long day ahead of us," she said, her words brightening my mood. I couldn't help but smile as I gazed at her beautiful, round face. I ran my fingers through her hair, cupping her face as I looked into her eyes, still heavy with sleep."I thought I might spend the entire day gazing at your lovely face, hoping to make you fall for me all over again," I said, my voice still heavy with sleep, causing her to smile with a hint of blush on her cheeks. "Come on, let's have breakfast; don’t forget we have plans for today," she replied, rising from the bed.In that moment, I remembered that the New Year was just around the corner—only two days away. Our whole family would be gathering at Dad's for the cele

Chapter: CHAPTER 25 JEREMY LIGHTWOOD★"I have a report from Mrs Clara's company," Mike announced as we stepped into my office after my schedule."After a long evening filled with tight meetings, you expect me to listen to a report from Clara's?" I asked and raised an eyebrow after sensing his sudden silence. Sensing that what he had to say was important, I gestured for him to continue as I sat down.“She breached the contract between our company and hers, and she already paid the fine for that breaching the contract,” he said, prompting a chuckle from me.Whatever game Jason and Clara are playing is unlikely in our favor."If she has paid for the fine of breaching the contract, then there's no need to report back to me—just keep a close watch in Jason," I instructed, and he nodded in agreement."Actually, your father would like to see you after your schedule today" He added and I nodded.It had been some time since we last saw each other, following the shareholders' election. I glanced at the clock
