Adele~

"Any idea who it’s from?" Emily asked.

The three of us were sitting on my bed, staring at the black box before us. There was no complimentary card, no message, just a mysterious box I didn’t know what it held yet.

"Are you going to open it, or should I?" Sarah reached out, her fingers brushing the lid.

"Wait!" I pulled the box toward me. My heart beat a little faster. Part excitement, part dread. "What if it’s... weird? Like a prank or something?"

Emily laughed, tucking a strand of blonde hair behind her ear. "Adele, you’re too cautious. It's just a box. Probably a gift."

"Yeah, but from who?" I muttered, inspecting the box again. It was sleek, tied with a black satin ribbon. It was luxurious, but understated. Whoever sent it had taste.

I finally slid my fingers under the ribbon and pulled. It came loose with a soft whisper. Sarah leaned in closer, practically vibrating with curiosity. Emily crossed her legs and waited, her eyes sparkling.

I lifted the lid.

    Ryan?Was I seeing things? He messaged the company?Ah, right, he couldn't reach me anymore since I changed my number and email address. I clicked open his message, eager, though wary, to know what he wanted.And it read:[ I can't reach my wife. Put her on the phone. ] My mouth parted in disbelief.Wife?My hand tightened around the mouse as I reread the message twice, then a third time. As if somehow, the letters would rearrange themselves into something less entitled. Less delusional.But no. Ryan Thompson was still Ryan Thompson.Entitled. Arrogant. Outdated in every possible way.I hovered over the reply button, heart hammering in a strange blend of rage and twisted amusement.I’d rather deep-clean the entire resort with a toothbrush dipped in acid than be called Mrs. Thompson again.How comical, but unfortunately, I was in no mood to laugh alone. My girls and I would do that over lunch. “Well, Mr. Ryan Thompson, I've been waiting for days like this for six months. Let's put w

    Adeke~@WestCorporation:“CSR’s transparency, innovation, and willingness to open their doors to the public is not only rare, it’s commendable.”I blinked.Then blinked again.West Corporation. THE West Corporation.Tech giants. West Corporation wasn’t just in the tech space — they owned it.From pharmaceuticals to defense, banking to agriculture, energy to AI, luxury to logistics, entertainment to space — they had their fingers in everything that mattered.Their CEO was the type who didn’t do press. Didn’t attend summits. And yet, the most powerful men in the country whispered his name in closed rooms, terrified of being on his wrong side. He was a man so clean, no scandal had ever stuck to him. So powerful, Forbes stopped listing him because it skewed the rankings.And that man was my husband. As I'd just found out yesterday. Or was it two nights ago?Did he give the order to support us? Or was this just a coincidence? A random spark of attention from a trillion-dollar company? “

    Adele~ The open week festival was fast approaching. Mark said the settings must be finished before Friday – people would start pouring in by Friday evening. And it was my turn to handle social media today. It was Tuesday, our website and social media handle just put up the announcement not even up to two hours ago and we already have thousands of likes, hundreds of comments and thousands of shares. Scrolling through the comments in our official Trendle account, I couldn't help smiling. This account was created six months ago — when we were still putting things together. It was just the three of us following this account then. Before the launch, we posted aesthetics of the resort and food, and soon, we had a few hundreds of followers, but after the groundbreaking launch, everything exploded. During the launch, the followings shot from mere hundreds to hundreds of thousands and now, we have six million and still going — all thanks to the influencers, bloggers, and high-end clients

    Detroit~He didn’t know why he turned away from her.Maybe it was the steam making the air too thick to breathe. Maybe it was her eyes, wide and heated and brimming with defiance that stirred something too dangerous in him.But mostly?It was the knowledge of her moaning for someone else. Someone who didn’t even exist. And that was a slap in the face. A silent one. But it burned all the same.Now, seated stiffly in the back of his car, Detroit’s hands curled into fists on either side of him. His jaw clenched hard, muscle ticking. The city lights outside blurred past, but he wasn’t seeing them. He was seeing words.Filthy, shameful words.The ones she’d highlighted and pages she folded.“She was suspended midair with leather straps, mouth gagged, nipples clamped, and blindfolded. Her body trembled, every inch of her helpless and exposed.” “She sobbed as he bent her over, a vibrator buzzing cruelly between her thighs, held in place by straps she couldn’t escape.”“The crack of his belt

    “You thought of his 9 inch?” “No! God, no!” I wanted to shout, but my voice cracked like a sinner caught in confession. The panic, the heat, the unbearable closeness—it all blurred together in a whirlpool of emotion and arousal. “I wasn’t thinking of anyone else…” “Lies.” “N—” Another lie I didn't get to finish before his hands moved, slowly, deliberately, one bracing beside mine on the fogged-up glass, the other skimming the curve of my hip like he was tracing out his next bad decision. “You know,” he murmured into my ear, “I do mind you fantasizing about Lucian’s 9 inch.” “Detroit,” I hissed, my mind pulling back into my body. This couldn't be any more than a scandal. Also, why was he calling him Lucian now? Was Luca too hard to say? He hummed in approval, like the sound of his name slipping from my lips was some kind of reward. “You're married,” he began, voice like molten sin, “so write down your fantasies… and let me be the one to make them real, not fictional charact

    I swallowed. No, this time, not with shame. But with curiosity. I wanted that towel around his waist gone. No, not what you're thinking.I just wanted to see what 8 inches look like. You know, I read that book and the characters wouldn't stop mentioning sizes. Although I knew the bigger the number, the larger the…you know, is supposed to be, my mind still couldn't picture the exact size. He suddenly chuckled, pulling my shameless eyes away from his towel, and straight to my toes. Detroit didn't just stop at a one time chuckle. He laughed. An actual, deep, sinfully amused laugh that echoed down the hallway like he’d just found his new favorite hobby: embarrassing me into an early grave.I swear to God, his laughter was contagious. I wanted to laugh too, tease him even, but I was too embarrassed to even breathe too loudly. And my face? Forgot my fair skin. You could cook any sauce of your choice with how red it had become. He reached out, pulling me towards him. “Didn't know Adele
