The waiter came not long after.

Quiet. Professional.

He placed two menus on the table, one in front of me and one in front of Zander, then stepped back slightly.

“Take your time,” he said, before walking away.

I picked up the menu, mostly because I needed something to do with my hands.

I really didn’t know what I wanted.

I just… needed a second.

Across from me, I could feel it again.

Zander’s eyes.

I glanced up briefly.

He wasn’t looking at the menu.

He was looking at me.

Of course he was.

I lo

    The car ride was quiet.Uncle J sat beside me, going through a few things on his tablet. He mentioned names, numbers, dates—things I needed to remember. I listened, asked questions when I needed to, and kept my attention on him.It helped.Kept my mind from going somewhere else.By the time we got to the company, I was already focused.Staff were already moving around when we stepped in. Some greeted us. Some looked at me a second longer than necessary.I ignored it.We didn’t stop.We walked straight to the conference room.The executives were already seated when we entered. Conversations stopped immediately. Chairs shifted slightly as they adjusted themselves, all eyes moving toward me.I walked to the head of the table.My seat.I pulled it out and sat down without hesitation.Uncle J sat by my right-hand side.Files were already placed in front of everyone. Printed reports. Organized.I picked one up and opened it.“Let’s begin,” I said.No introductions.No unnecessary talk.One

    I woke up feeling lighter.The heaviness that had been sitting in my body for days was gone. My head didn’t ache. My nose wasn’t completely clear, but it wasn’t bad enough to slow me down.I stayed on the bed for a few seconds, staring at the ceiling.Then it came back.Not the sickness.Him.The memory didn’t ease in slowly. It hit all at once.His hand on my face.His breath against my lips.The way his voice dropped—“I’m dying to take you right now.”My fingers curled slightly into the sheets.Then—The kitchen.The way he walked past me like I didn’t exist.My jaw tightened immediately.I turned my head slightly, staring at the wall now instead of the ceiling.Really?That’s what we were doing?My chest felt tight again, but this time it wasn’t confusion. It wasn’t that overwhelming pull from yesterday.It was irritation.He stood in front of me like that… said all those things… looked at me like—And then what?Nothing?He just… walked away?And then ignored me?My lips pressed

    I looked down at the mug still in my hand and brought it back to my lips. The tea had gone from hot to warm, but I didn’t care. I drank slowly at first, then faster, until I finished it in one go. The warmth slid down my throat, settling in my chest, but it didn’t do anything for the rest of me.I set the mug down quietly.For a moment, I just sat there in silence. But my mind wasn’t.His voice replayed, clear and sharp like he was still standing in front of me.“I’m dying to take you right now.”My fingers curled slightly against the bed.“I’ve reached my limits.”My stomach twisted.I pressed my lips together, inhaling slowly through my nose like that would somehow steady me. It didn’t. If anything, it made everything more real.I reached for my phone on the nightstand and unlocked it, the screen lighting up instantly. Notifications were still there. Messages. Headlines. Everything waiting.My thumb hovered for a second.Then I stopped.I didn’t want to see it.Not now.I lifted my

    I reached my room and closed the door behind me, the soft click settling something in my chest that I didn’t realize had been tight since I left the conference room.The quiet felt different now.Not heavy. I stood there for a second, then exhaled slowly. A dull ache pressed behind my eyes again, not as bad as before, but enough to remind me my body hadn’t fully caught up with everything I had just done.I dropped my bag on the bed without much thought and moved straight to my closet. The fabric of my blazer suddenly felt too tight, too structured, like I had been holding myself together inside it for too long.I pulled it off, then the rest, piece by piece, until I was free of it.By the time I stepped into the bathroom, I didn’t think about anything else.I turned on the shower and stepped under it.Hot water poured over my skin, running down slowly, soaking into me. My shoulders loosened almost immediately. I tilted my head forward, letting it hit the back of my neck, the warmth s

    The car door closed, and for a moment, everything went almost quiet.The noise was still there, faint now, like something left behind. The flashes, the voices, the questions—they hadn’t disappeared. They just weren’t in front of me anymore.I leaned back slightly against the seat, my fingers still wrapped around my bag. I hadn’t realized how tight my grip was until now. My hand loosened slowly, the tension easing out of it little by little.I let out a small breath.Uncle J sat beside me, calm as always, his posture unchanged like nothing had happened.“You handled that well,” he said.I nodded once. “I said what needed to be said.”He didn’t respond to that. He just gave a small nod, like that was enough.The car moved smoothly, pulling away from the building. I turned my head slightly toward the window, watching the outside blur past. My reflection stared back faintly against the glass.Composed.That’s what they saw.My phone buzzed in my hand.Once.Then again.Then continuously.

    The car slowed to a stop before I even saw the crowd.I knew they were there.I could hear it first—the distant noise, voices overlapping, the sharp bursts of camera shutters cutting through everything else. My fingers tightened slightly around the handle of my bag as the car came to a complete halt.I took a breath.Just one.Then the door opened.The noise hit immediately.“Emery!”“Over here!”“Is it true—”Flashes went off one after the other, bright enough to sting. For a second, it felt like everything was moving too fast, but I forced myself to stay still as I stepped out of the car.I didn’t look at them.I didn’t respond.I walked.The bodyguard moved ahead, creating space, while Uncle J stayed close beside me. The voices followed us, louder now, sharper.“Are you still involved with him?”“Is the scandal real?”“What is your relationship with him?”I kept walking.The doors opened, and the moment I stepped inside, the noise dropped behind me like it had been cut off complete

    My hands wouldn’t stop shaking.They hovered over the keyboard, fingers cold, numb, useless. On the screen—Me.A newborn wrapped in a pale hospital blanket. Eyes squeezed shut. Tiny fists curled against my cheeks. The timestamp glowed faintly in the corner of the photo.It was the same picture.Th

    The door creaked softly behind me as I stepped inside.The cabin was clean and well kept. One open space. A couch facing a wide wooden table. Another couch opposite it. A plain rug on the floor. Everything was in place, nothing out of order.To the side was a small kitchen area with a sink and coun

    Lectures blurred together like noise without meaning.I sat through them anyway. Took notes. Nodded when everyone else nodded. Raised my eyes to the board when the lecturer spoke, as if I was actually listening. My pen moved across the page, neat lines, familiar handwriting—but none of it stayed in

    I stood under the shower and let the hot water pour over me.It hit my shoulders hard, slid down my back, soaked my hair, and my face. Steam filled the bathroom, fogging the glass and blurring everything until the world shrank to this small space, and the sound of rushing water filled the air.I cl
