~Sienna~

My hand taps softly on the table as I watch the customers bustling in and out of the small diner. It’s small and cozy, and I can see the customers enjoying themselves, feeling at home.

Maybe it won’t be so bad to work here after all, preferably behind the scene. I can’t have my stomach churning with all this aroma.

I count numbers in my head while I wait for Mrs. Linda and her husband. Sitting here for over thirty minutes and still waiting. God, I’m getting restless, and my stomach is

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Elias and Alice’s Story VIII

    ~Elias~I am early. I am never this early, yet here I am, my fingers tightening around the handle of my briefcase as the elevator slide open. My eyes instantly dart down the corridor, past the main floor, toward the corner office that now has her name etched into the glass plaque.Alice’s office.The door is closed, the lights inside off. She isn't here yet. A ridiculous wave of disappointment drops into my stomach. For the months, I was used to seeing her the exact moment I stepped off the elevator, standing right outside my door, a bright smile already waiting for me. Now, she has her own space. She has her own privacy. And the distance feels miles wide.I pull my gaze away, forcing my boots to move across the floor toward my own office, pulling the heavy oak door shut behind me. I drop my briefcase onto the sofa and walk straight to the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring out at the city skyline.I know I’m earlier than usual, forty minutes to eight AM. It’s all because I can’t wait

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Elias and Alice’s Story VII

    ~Elias~I’m too ashamed of myself to say anything. I don’t even know what to say, but I also can’t remain quiet. "You really do know me," I murmur, my voice dropping into a quiet, honest voice. I lay my pen down on the table, the work suddenly feeling entirely unimportant. "You know everything about me, Alice."She doesn't look up, but her fingers tighten slightly around the edge of her notebook. "It was my job to know you, sir.""And what about me?" I ask, the words slipping out before my pride can stop them. A deep, aching guilt settles behind my ribs. "You asked me yesterday if I treated you like a robot, like someone without real emotions. And the truth is... I realize I know absolutely nothing about you. I don't know your life, Alice. And I feel utterly ashamed of that."Alice pauses, her shoulders dropping in a slow, silent exhale. She finally turns her body toward me on the couch, pulling one leg up under herself. The casual movement brings her even closer, her knee almost bru

    ~Elias~It’s still early n the morning, but I haven’t been able to rest well since last night. I’ve been to inking about Alice, imagining her coming in this morning. Yes I know she’s going to come but I just can’t calm my heart to sit and wait. I can’t help it. I pace the length of the room, adjusting the cuffs of my gray cashmere sweater. I’m dressed casually, just the sweater and a pair of dark jeans, but I’ve spent the last twenty minutes checking my reflection in the bedroom mirror, a ridiculous habit I’ve never had before today. The catering boxes from the restaurant downtown are already neatly arranged on the dining table, the scent of fresh pastries and roasted coffee filling the entire main floor. I’m waiting. I’m counting. Waiting for the moment she comes knocking. Then, the quiet of the house is broken by a firm, polite knock at the front door.My chest tightens instantly. I walk down the short hallway, my slippers hurrying against the floor, as I get to the door and turn

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Elias and Alice’s Story V

    ~Elias~Alice tilts her head, a tiny, ironic smile touching her lips, though her eyes remain perfectly detached. She zips her bag with a smooth, deliberate drag. "I’m an executive partner now, Elias. You gave me the title yourself last night. I’m simply stepping up to my new role in the company. A partner shouldn't look like an assistant, right?"Her answer is perfectly logical, yet it feels like a slap to my face. I nod slowly, swallowing the lump of irritation rising in my throat. "Right. Of course. It... it was out of line for me to ask. Forgive me."She forces a small, tight smile that doesn't even come close to reaching her eyes. "It's fine."She picks up her bag and turns to leave, her movements efficient and hurried. My mind immediately searches for a way to keep her in the room, to break through the thick layer of ice that has settled between us since yesterday. I can't stand this silence. It’s driving me insane."I’ll see you at lunch?" I ask, trying to make my voice sound ca

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Elias and Alice’s Story IV

    ~Elias~The next morning, the sun is bright as I park my car in the executive lot. I step out, adjusting my jacket, and that’s when I see it—the sleek, charcoal-gray company sedan I had delivered to Alice’s house early this morning.The driver's side door opens, and Alice steps out.My breath catches in my throat. I freeze beside my car, my hand still resting on the door. She is wearing a tailored, dark-red three-piece suit. It fits her curves perfectly, the sharp lines of the vest and blazer giving her an aura of absolute authority. Her hair is down, falling in soft waves over her shoulders, and she is wearing a shade of dark lipstick that draws my eyes straight to her mouth.She looks absolutely stunning. It looks exactly like her, but at the same time, it looks like a completely different woman. She looks like a partner, an equal, a force to be reckoned with.I don't even realize I’m standing there staring like a fool until she walks right past me."Good morning, Elias," she says.

    ~Elias~She frowns and snatches the envelope form me before I could damage it further. "I've spent more than five months in your company, Elias," Alice says, her voice entirely level as she stands there in the almost darkness of the hallway. "The firm will survive without me. I can leave, and there won't be any side effects to the daily operations.""Yes, but I mean, you shouldn't leave," I stammer, the words tumbling out before I can filter them. My chest feels tight, a strange, suffocating pressure building behind my chest at the sight of that white envelope in her hand. "Why? Why do you want to leave so suddenly? You're the best at what you do, Alice. You know exactly how I want my things done. Why would you just walk away from all of that?"She looks at me, her eyes dark and unreadable. There is a stillness in the air between us, devoid of the usual warmth she brings into my space."If it’s about earlier today," I continue quickly, the desperation in my own voice grating against

    ~Sienna~I exhale quietly and widen my lips, plastering a broad smile on my face as I step inside the church.My long-tailed green dress parts as each of my legs strides forward.I stare up ahead, marching to the altar. Heads turn, their eyes fixed solely behind me, watching, waiting for the main c

    ~Norman~ I step back and draw in a sharp breath as my eyes rush over her. Her eyes are dimmed, glassy, her lips smeared with lipstick and swollen. I grind my teeth, my chest tightening, but my face gives nothing away. I remain calm, watching her as she does the same. I can’t stop staring. I can’
