All Shades of Passion Chapter 59: Airport Morning
Sheila's POVI didn't sleep.I lay awake in my bed and watched the room get lighter by degrees. That pale flat light that meant morning had arrived whether you were ready for it or not.I wasn't ready for it.It was New Year's Day. The 1st of January, 2026. The day that was supposed to feel like a door opening. It just felt like one closing.And I wasn't excited about it.By six I gave up and went downstairs to make coffee I didn't really want.I heard her door at six twenty. Her footsteps on the stairs. The quiet efficient sound of someone who had already said their goodbyes to the house in their own way and was now just moving through it.She came into the kitchen and we looked at each other."Happy New Year," she said."Happy New Year," I said back.I poured a cup of coffee and handed it to her without being asked. She took it without a word. We stood in that kitchen together one last time and drank our coffee and didn't talk about any of it.By six forty five I took her suitcase.
All Shades of Passion Chapter 58: The Night Before She leaves
Sheila's POVDecember 31st. New Year's Eve.9:45 p.m.I stood outside her door for a full two minutes before I knocked.I'd been telling myself all evening to just go to bed. To let her pack. To let her sleep. To stop being the person who always showed up at the wrong time with the right feelings and ruined everything.I knocked anyway.There was silence. Then shuffling. Then the door opened and Zuki stood there in her sleep shorts and an oversized Tee, hair loose, face completely bare. No performance. No bright easy smile. Just her. The version of her that nobody else got to see."Sheila—" she began."I know," I said quickly. "I know it's late. I just — I can't sleep and you're leaving tomorrow and I can't just go to bed and pretend everything is fine."She looked at me for a long moment.Then she stepped aside.I walked in and sat on the edge of her bed. The room already felt different. Stripped back. Her suitcase sat by the door fully zipped and ready and just looking at it made so
All Shades of Passion Chapter 57: Steven is Gay?
Sheila's POVI blinked.Then I blinked again.Because either the cold December air was playing tricks on me or Greg's very serious, very efficient, always three steps ahead PA was standing on this pavement holding another man's hand like it was the most casual thing in the world.Steven.Who wore pressed shirts with an air of superiority. Who managed my brother's entire life without breaking a sweat. Who I'd never once seen look anything other than completely professional.That Steven.Was on a date. With a man."Since when?" I blurted out with total disbelief.Not my finest comment. But I genuinely didn't know what else to say.Steven never struck me as the type to be bothered with anyone, male or female.Especially not male.He always just gave me the impression of "leave me the fuck alone" and "keep your bullshit to yourself."Yes, that Steven was strolling along the streets of Vegas, casually holding hands with a guy.What the hell?Steven didn't even blink. If he noticed my shock
All Shades of Passion Chapter 56: Two Days Left (II)
Sheila's POVI slapped my hand flat over my mouth as I watched the lip gloss disappear into her jacket pocket. Smooth as anything.And then she turned toward the exit, walking majestically, totally unbothered, like she had not just shoplifted a lipgloss.I raised my eyes to the roof. Lord help me.I was already moving.I came around the corner fast, spotted the security guard closing in from the left and made my decision without even thinking about it.I turned into her aisle, spread my arms wide and opened my mouth."Oh my God. Zuki. There you are. I have been looking everywhere for you."The look on her face when she turned around almost made me lose it completely right there.I held it together.I smiled at the guard like a woman with nothing to hide, touched his arm, apologized warmly for my wandering cousin, walked us to self checkout, scanned the lip gloss, tapped my card and had us out the door in under ninety seconds.Then we were walking fast.Then faster.Then we were runnin
All Shades of Passion Chapter 55: Two Days Left
Zuki's POVDecember 30th.Two days before the new year. Two days before my flight home.By now I had finished packing my suitcase.There was something final about a fully packed suitcase that words could not quite explain.I got up early today, brushed my teeth, pulled on my leggings and a hoodie. Then opened the Uber app.I had two days left in Las Vegas and I was going to use them properly.The gym was the first stop.It was early enough that the morning crowd had not fully arrived yet. I stood outside for a moment just looking at the entrance. Same sign. Same potted plant by the door that was somehow still alive.I thought about the first time Sheila had come here with me. How she had run on the treadmill like it had personally offended her. How she had worked hard on the bikes, so focused on her daily exercises as though she was training for the Olympics.I went inside and did a light workout. Nothing serious. Just enough to feel it. The familiar burn in my legs, the rhythm of my
All Shades of Passion Chapter 54: Christmas Day
Sheila's POVMorning came in slowly through the curtains.I lay there for a while just watching the light change on the ceiling. Gold at first, then pale, then the soft flat white of Christmas morning. Somewhere outside a bird was making noise.For a few seconds, before my brain caught up, everything felt okay.Then it caught up.I closed my eyes and just breathed. Last night came back in pieces. The music. The lace. Her hands on me and then gone. The way she had looked at me before she went upstairs.I stayed in bed until I couldn't anymore.Downstairs the living room still looked like a party that had ended too soon. Balloons leaning against the wall. Empty cups on the side table. The cake with only a few slices missing sitting under its glass cover. The fairy lights were still on, blinking quietly like they hadn't gotten the memo that the night was over.I made coffee and stood in the kitchen listening to the house. It was strange how loud a big house could be when it was empty. U
All Shades of Passion Chapter 15: The Line
Sheila's POV"Let me drive," Zuki begged for what had to be the tenth time since we'd gotten in the car. She was practically bouncing in the passenger seat, her hand reaching for the wheel every time we stopped at a red light."No," I said firmly, swatting her hand away as she tried again. "For the

Sheila's POVIn the bathroom, the full weight of the situation hit me. I was drunk, alone, in a club I didn't know, and my cousin had vanished.I gripped the sink harder as another wave of nausea rolled through me. This time I made it to the stall, throwing up a little more. The tequila burned just

Sheila's POVZuki was straddling the blonde guy's lap, her knees on either side of his thighs on the velvet booth seat. Their mouths were locked together in the kind of kiss that should have been private - deep, hungry, desperate. Her hands were in his hair, tugging hard enough that his head was ti

Sheila's POVThe Uber pulled up to our gate at nearly 1 AM. The driver whistled low at the sight of the estate beyond the iron bars."Nice place," he muttered.Zuki was already typing in the gate code on her phone app. The massive gates swung open silently, revealing the long driveway lined with pa
