My mother's suspicious partner (The night between us) First Task
Rhea reached her apartment quite late that night, exhausted in a way that went deeper than her body. All she wanted was a long shower and a few uninterrupted hours of sleep. The day had drained her, and her mind still hadn’t settled after everything that had happened at the gala and the days that followed. She dug into her bag for her keys as she approached the door, already imagining the relief of stepping inside and shutting the rest of the world out. Her fingers moved through the usual clutter of receipts, lip balm, a phone charger, and loose papers before they finally closed around the keys.She pulled them out and reached for the lock, only to freeze when she realized the door was already open.She stared at it for several long seconds, her hand tightening around the keys. She was certain she had locked it that morning. Her heart began to beat faster. Tightening her grip, she carefully pushed the door open and held her breath as she stepped inside. The apartment was dark and quie
My mother's suspicious partner (The night between us) Chloe Carter
By seven-thirty that evening, Alaric had changed his clothes and left the house. The casual clothes from the morning were gone, replaced by a charcoal-gray suit tailored closely to his frame, a crisp white shirt, a dark tie, and polished black shoes. His watch sat securely around his wrist, and his expression had returned to the controlled calm he wore whenever he stepped into the world outside his home. Only the slight stiffness in his movements betrayed the fact that the wound beneath his shirt was still healing.The restaurant was several blocks away from the city's wealthier district, not far from the address Matt had found for Chloe. It was the kind of place Alaric would normally pass without a second glance, with warm yellow lights glowing through the windows, modest tables packed closely together, and the steady noise of conversations coming from inside.He stepped inside, and a young waiter approached almost immediately with a polite smile.“Good evening, sir. Table for one?”
My mother's suspicious partner (The night between us) Not a single regret
Two days had passed since Alaric kissed her, and he still hadn't returned to the company. Rhea stood near the coffee maker in the office, staring at the cup in front of her while the machine hummed quietly. People moved around her, talking about meetings, deadlines, and whatever else filled their mornings, but their voices barely registered in her mind. All she could think about was Alaric and why he had deliberately chosen to kiss her. She could still remember the way he had looked at her when he told her to come closer, the intention already clear in his eyes. She remembered the warmth of his hand when he pulled her toward him and the way her entire body had gone still when his lips touched hers, as though her mind had forgotten to remind her that she was supposed to stop him. And then there was Iris. That was the part she couldn't stop replaying. It was embarrassing enough that Iris had caught them, especially after Rhea had personally told her only days earlier that nothing w
My mother's suspicious partner (The night between us) Caught red handed
After the man left, Matt closed the door behind him and turned toward Alaric."Still can’t believe his stepson actually tried to kill his father at an event,” he said. “I mean, everyone has seen the family drama all over the internet, but I didn’t think the chaos would ever reach you. Definitely didn’t have ‘CEO gets stabbed protecting an employee at the gala’ on my bingo card.” Alaric leaned back against the pillows. “It happened because that man was going after Rhea.” Matt's expression changed immediately. “Speaking of Rhea, she didn't want to leave the hospital last night. I had to convince her that you were stable before she'd agree to go home. She must be guilty of everything” Alaric said nothing. He stared at the ceiling for a long moment, then toward the window. Matt watched him carefully. The silence stretched until it became obvious something heavier was sitting behind Alaric’s quiet. “What is it?” Matt asked. Alaric exhaled slowly. “There’s something about her. I d
My mother's suspicious partner (The night between us) Guilt or care?
The news had spread through the company before Rhea even arrived at work. By the time she stepped into the building the following morning, the gala attack was already the main subject of conversation. Employees gathered in small groups near the elevators and reception area, whispering about the masked attacker, the police investigation, and, most of all, the fact that their CEO had been stabbed while protecting one of their employees. Rhea kept her head down as she walked toward her department. She had barely slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the same thing again. Alaric stepping between her and the attacker. The flash of the knife. The blood. The way his body had jerked when the blade entered him. She had spent hours at the hospital, waiting for someone to tell her that he was going to be okay, and even after Matt had finally convinced her to leave, she had barely been able to think about anything else. She dropped her handbag beside her desk and sat down, op

Rhea returned to the ballroom without looking back. Whatever she had just seen in the corridor, she refused to let it ruin the evening. Alaric had been standing with Iris, and perhaps there was nothing more to it than what it looked like. Maybe Iris had simply found a way to insert herself into his night, just as she always seemed determined to do. Either way, it wasn't her business, and she reminded herself of that as she slipped back into the crowd.The formal part of the evening was drawing closer to its end, and guests had begun gathering around the stage as Sheikh Zayyan Al-Mansouri prepared to give another speech. Rhea stayed close to Maya and John, deliberately keeping her attention on them rather than risking another glance toward Alaric or Iris. Whenever she felt Iris's eyes drifting in their direction, she simply turned away and pretended not to notice.John seemed completely unaware of the storm going on inside her head. He leaned toward Maya and whispered something that ma
