Beautifully Ruined By Him Stop lying
I woke up already annoyed. Not because something was wrong exactly, just because my head was too loud and sleep had felt less like rest and more like drifting in and out of thoughts I hadn't asked for.Leon, the house, the silence. Sixteen-year-old me standing in a hallway holding a watch nobody wanted.I turned on my side and muttered, "Stop it," to absolutely no one. "It was years ago. It's nothing now."I waited for my brain to agree.It didn't.And then, as if one problem wasn't enough, another face slipped in without permission.Cael.I groaned into my pillow."Fantastic," I said out loud. "One man I don't understand and one man I don't want to see again. Great combination, Nora. Very healthy."What was wrong with me??I sat up, rubbed my face, and decided that today was going to be a professional day. Strictly professional. No replaying last night's dinner, no thinking about the way he'd looked at me across that table, and absolutely no thinking about him stepping close outside

I didn't even remember putting the phone down.Mom's voice was still sitting somewhere in my head, soft and hopeful in a way that made everything worse.*Leon is coming back.*The words just stayed there. Didn't move, didn't fade, just settled somewhere behind my eyes like they'd found a place and decided not to leave.I turned onto my side and stared at nothing in particular."Of course," I muttered.My eyes burned a little. Not enough to cry, just enough to be annoying. Maybe it was frustration, maybe it was just too many things happening in one day. I closed my eyes.And then the memories started. Not because I wanted them to.... just because they did.---I was sixteen when my mom brought me into the Vance house for the first time.I still remember holding her hand too tightly at the gate, looking up at the building and feeling something I couldn't name properly. It wasn't fear exactly. More like the feeling you get when you already know something isn't going to go the way you ho
Beautifully Ruined By Him Leon is back
The laughter was still in my chest when my mom's voice shifted. Not dramatically or all at once. It was just a small change in tone, the kind I'd learned to notice over the years. Like she was about to say something she'd been working up to for a while. "Nora." "Mm?" "I need to tell you something." I stopped smiling. "Okay." She paused. Then, carefully, "Leon is coming back." The name landed in my chest like something cold. Wait, who??? For a second I didn't say anything, just lay there on my bed staring at the ceiling, feeling the warmth of the last few minutes drain out of the room completely. "Leon....?" I repeated. "Yes." Her voice had gone gentle in that specific way she used when she already knew she was walking into something difficult. "He called last week. He's been abroad for a while but he's coming home, and I thought... I thought it would be nice if we all—" I frowned and cut in. "No." "Nora—" "Mom." "Just.... listen to me for a second." I sat up slowly, my
Beautifully Ruined By Him Catastrophizing
Nora's POVThe moment I shut my apartment door behind me, I leaned against it and closed my eyes.Then groaned."Oh my God!!!"I covered my face with both hands, standing there like an idiot in my own hallway."What are we?"I said it out loud, heard how it sounded, and immediately wished I hadn't."Why would I say that????" I muttered, pushing myself off the door and walking toward my room. "Out of everything. And that was what came out????"Not goodnight. Not thank you for dinner. Not even a normal, functional goodbye like a normal, functional person. No. I had looked directly at Cael Draven and asked what we were like some confused teenager who'd never spoken to a man before.I dropped face-first onto my bed."Smooth, Nora. Very smooth!"I stayed like that for a solid minute before rolling onto my back and staring at the ceiling. The embarrassment hadn't faded at all, which was annoying, because embarrassment was supposed to get smaller the more you thought about it.This one kept
Beautifully Ruined By Him Work had started again
Cael's POV"What are we?"For a second I just looked at her.The streetlights cast soft shadows across her face, her eyes fixed on me, waiting. Nervous, curious, maybe a little scared too. The question hung between us like something neither of us was quite ready to deal with.I could answer it. I should.But the problem was that Nora still didn't know anything. Not really. She didn't know who I was outside that office, didn't know what I was, and if she knew the truth right now, standing outside her building with that look on her face, I genuinely wasn't sure what would happen.So instead of answering, I smirked. Because if I didn't, I was probably going to say something reckless. Something I wasn't supposed to say yet."You already know the answer."Her eyebrows pulled together immediately."What? What does that even mean?"I almost laughed. Of course that was her reaction. I stepped closer, not enough to crowd her, just enough."Goodnight, Nora."Her eyebrows pulled in confusion. "
Beautifully Ruined By Him What are we?
The smile slid off my face before I even realized it was gone, and the whole café seemed to go very quiet around us.For a few seconds I just stared at him. Out of everything I expected him to ask tonight, that wasn't one of them.My father.I let out a small laugh, not because it was funny, mostly because I suddenly didn't know what to do with myself. I leaned back in my chair and folded my arms."Why?"Cael looked at me calmly."What do you mean?""Why are you asking?"He stayed quiet, which only made me narrow my eyes further."No, seriously." I pointed at him. "Why are you interested?"His mouth curved slightly."Curious."I scoffed."Curious?""Hm."I stared at him for a second, then shook my head."No. You're not doing that.""Doing what?""Acting innocent." I leaned forward slightly. "This is not how a relationship between an employer and a worker should be."His eyebrows lifted."A worker?""Yes."He looked thoughtful for exactly one second, then the smirk came. Dangerous. Abs
Beautifully Ruined By Him He brought dinner
The next day passed faster than I expected. Maybe it was because everyone was busy, maybe it was because the Meridian project was now hanging over all our heads like a storm cloud. Either way, I barely had time to think, which was probably a good thing. Because every time my mind slowed down, it
Beautifully Ruined By Him Not a teenager with a crush
I left the office with my jaw clenched so tightly it hurt.The elevator ride down felt longer than usual. Every second gave me more time to think about what had happened upstairs, which was exactly the problem.I didn't want to think about it. I didn't want to think about Cael, or the way he kept l
Beautifully Ruined By Him I don't want to be attached to the CEO
I barely slept that night.Every single time I closed my eyes, I saw his face again.The way he leaned close to me, the way his hand held my waist like he already owned it, the way he said he had pictures of me on his phone.Pictures.My stomach twisted just thinking about it.I turned in bed again
Beautifully Ruined By Him Enjoy your little attention while it lasts
The knock on the door sounded so suddenly that my entire body jerked. Cael stepped back immediately, and the pressure around me disappeared so fast it almost made me dizzy. For one horrible second, neither of us spoke. I could still feel my heartbeat everywhere. In my throat, my chest, my wrists.
