“You should get going before you end up missing your flight.”

My mother's voice follows me as she escorts me down the stairs.

“I'll have someone meet you at the airport in Beverly Hills. She's the team leader for this project and will be your guide for the three days you'll be spending there.”

“Okay.”

“ And you don't have to worry.” She continues. “You'll only be translating during the meeting and nothing else. You know how important this investor is for the project.”

I stare at her.

    (Amara)“You should get going before you end up missing your flight.”My mother's voice follows me as she escorts me down the stairs.“I'll have someone meet you at the airport in Beverly Hills. She's the team leader for this project and will be your guide for the three days you'll be spending there.”“Okay.”“ And you don't have to worry.” She continues. “You'll only be translating during the meeting and nothing else. You know how important this investor is for the project.”I stare at her.Her words from days ago flash through my mind."We have a problem. Our translator is suddenly unavailable, and we'll need someone to help out with this project."Her hands close around mine, pulling me back to the present.“Thank you, dear. Thank you for choosing to join this project.”A small smile finds my lips.I hold her gaze, but I know better.This isn't just about a translator.I’m certain it’s one of her plans.A way to finally pull me into her company and keep a close eye on me.“We shoul

    (Stella)“Here.”I stretch the stack of cash toward the bartender.“For a job well done.”His eyes widen instantly. A nervous giggle escapes him as he takes the money.“Thank you. Thank you, ma'am.”A satisfied smile touches my lips.“I’m sure you know what to do.”“Yes.” He nods quickly. “You don’t have to worry. I already made sure the CCTV footage has been cleared. And I’ll be leaving the city today, so there’s no way he’ll find out. He’ll never be able to learn the truth about that night.”Good.My smile deepens.“Excellent. If everything continues going smoothly, there will be more where that came from.”His face lights up immediately.“Thank you, ma'am.”He practically bows before hurrying away.The moment he disappears into the crowd, a laugh slips from my lips.Everything replays inside my head.The act.The plan.The execution.Every single move I carefully put into place.And now?Everything is unfolding exactly as I intended.I lean back in my chair, crossing one leg over t

    (Rayner)A groan tears from my throat as I force my eyes open."Argh..."Pain pounds behind my temples.I press my fingers against them, squeezing my eyes shut."Why does it hurt this much?"My head feels like it's splitting apart."Stefan, get me a coffee, please."Silence.No answer.I frown."Gosh, where did he go?"I throw the sheets aside and start to sit up.Then my gaze shifts.And I freeze.My entire body locks."Ste... Stella?"My heart plummets.She's lying beside me.In my bed.For a second, I stop breathing.My eyes dart wildly around the room.My trousers are on the floor.My shirt is halfway across the room.The blankets are a mess.Panic slams into me.No.No.No.I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to remember.Anything.Something.But my mind is empty.Blank.The harder I try, the worse the pounding becomes.A soft rustle breaks the silence.Stella stirs.Then slowly opens her eyes."You're awake?"I practically jump out of bed."What are you doing here?"My voice comes ou

    (Rayner)I watch her talk.The hurt she tries so hard to hide. The frustration burning in her eyes. The way her fingers curl tightly at her sides.And suddenly, I can’t do it anymore.My heart pounds against my ribs.The feelings I've spent months burying crash through me like a dam breaking. Every wall I've built around myself shatters at once.The tightness in my chest.The longing.Everything.Before I can stop myself, my feet move and I close the distance between us, crashing my lips against hers.And the moment they do, everything inside me stills.It’s like the chaos inside me suddenly quiets, the weight I’ve been carrying for so long finally lifting from my chest.My hand stays on her face, holding her gently as I continue kissing her.She doesn’t pull away.Doesn’t stop me.Just… lets me.For a few breathtaking seconds, the world disappears.It's just us.Just her lips on mine.Just the feeling I've been fighting for far too long.Slowly, I pull back.My forehead almost touche

    (Rayner)Shock rips through me as my eyes land on her.Amara.Then my gaze shifts.Straight to Lorenzo.The smirk on his face tells me everything I need to know.The bastard isn't even trying to hide it anymore.Before I can fully process the scene, Amara turns and walks away.My body reacts before my brain does.I take a step after her.Then a hand catches my wrist.I stop.Turn.Lorenzo.Anger explodes through me immediately.I yank my arm free."Rayner."His voice is calm.Too calm."She's with me. I'll go check up on her."Every muscle in my body tightens.The hell he will.I open my mouth, about to protest when another voice cuts through the tension."You should let Lorenzo go after her."Grandpa.My head snaps toward him."But Grandpa..."He lifts a hand.A simple gesture.One he's barely ever used on me.Yet it immediately silences me.The finality in his eyes hits harder than any order.And just like that, Lorenzo walks away.Toward her.Toward Amara.My jaw locks.My fists cu

    (Amara)“You free?”The voice cuts through the quiet of my office.I look up.Lorenzo.A smile immediately pulls at my lips.“Lorenzo, you're here?”“Yeah.” He slips his hands into his pockets. “I figured you'd be rounding up for the day by now, so I thought I'd come by.”I push back from my desk and rise to my feet.“Actually, I was just about to—”“There's somewhere I'd like you to join me.”I pause.“Somewhere?”His expression shifts slightly.Almost hesitant.“Yeah.”A small knot forms in my stomach.***A few minutes later, we're pulling into a resort.The engine dies and Lorenzo steps out first.I’m about to open the car door myself when it suddenly pulls open from the outside.“Let me.”A cheeky smile tugs at my lips.“A resort?” I say, glancing around as I step out.“Yeah.” He closes the car door. “There’s someone I would like you to meet.”“Someone?” I repeat, narrowing my eyes.A laugh slips from me. “Family?”He looks at me and nods once.I pull my hair behind my ear.“Ahh,

    (Rayner)I sit alone in the dimly lit room, the faint glow from the lamp barely cutting through the darkness.The glass in my hand tilts slightly as I take another sip.The burn is sharp.It drags down my throat and settles heavily in my chest, but it does nothing to quiet my mind.Because the mome

    (Amara)A deep sigh escapes me as I close the door behind me, my fingers lingering on the handle for a second longer than necessary.Rayner’s voice echoes again in my head.“About yesterday…”Heat rushes up my neck instantly.Gosh.I walk quickly to my desk, then stop halfway, my thoughts spiraling

    (Rayner)“Grandpa,” I call, stepping onto the stone path behind the house, where the private golf lawn stretches across the garden.“Rayner,” he says when he notices me. He ends the call in his hand. “You must have heard the news.”A deep sigh escapes me before I can stop it.He pats my shoulder li

    (Amara)Just before Felix reaches me, Bernard’s voice drifts through the air.“I’ll make sure whatever happens stays between us.”My eyes snap toward him.At that exact moment, Felix’s grip tightens around my wrist. The sudden force startles me.I whip my gaze back to him.“Let’s go,” he says.I sl
