CRAVING THE BAD BOY 214 - Ghost
Ariana could not breathe. The world around her seemed to disappear. The black SUVs. The men surrounding the warehouse. Vanessa standing frozen near the entrance. None of it mattered. Her eyes were locked on the man standing in front of them. It was impossible. Absolutely impossible. Yet he was there. Alive. Looking directly at her. Ariana felt her knees weaken. "No," she whispered.The man gave a small smile. The same smile she remembered. The same smile she had not seen in years. "Ariana."The sound of her name coming from his mouth sent a chill through her body. It was him. There was no mistake. No misunderstanding. No trick. The man she believed had died years ago was standing only a few feet away. "David."The name escaped her lips before she could stop it. The tall man nodded slowly. "I was wondering how long it would take you to recognize me."Ariana stared at him in disbelief. Years ago, David had been one of the company's founders. He had worked alongside the original leadersh
CRAVING THE BAD BOY 213 - The Betrayal
Ariana could not move. She stood frozen in the middle of the warehouse, staring at the person who had stepped out of the darkness. For a moment, her brain refused to accept what her eyes were seeing.It was Vanessa. The woman stood several feet away from them, calm and composed. She looked nothing like someone who had just been caught. There was no panic on her face. No fear. No surprise. Only silence. Ariana's heart pounded so hard that it almost hurt. "Vanessa?" she whispered.The name felt strange coming out of her mouth. Vanessa looked at her and gave a small smile. "Hello, Ariana."The stranger beside Ariana took another step back. His hands were shaking. "I told you she was dangerous," he muttered.Vanessa's eyes briefly moved toward him. "You should have stayed quiet."The man's face turned pale. Ariana looked from one person to the other. Nothing made sense. Vanessa had supported her from the beginning. She had helped investigate the leaks. She had arranged interviews. She had
CRAVING THE BAD BOY 212 - Alone Tonight
Ariana stared at the message on her screen. "If you want the truth, come alone tonight."She read it again and again. The words did not change. Neither did the fear growing inside her. Someone had sent her a photograph of Nathan. Someone knew where he had been. Someone also knew things about the investigation that nobody outside the company should know.And now that person wanted to meet her. Alone. Ariana looked at the blurred figure standing beside Nathan in the photograph. Even after several minutes, she still could not believe it. The person looked so familiar. Too familiar. She zoomed in again. The image became grainy.The face was still difficult to see clearly. Yet the shape of the body, the hairstyle, and the clothes all pointed toward the same person. Someone she trusted. Someone who had supported her. Someone she never imagined could be connected to this mess.Her stomach twisted. What if she was wrong? What if the photograph was meant to trick her? The more she thought abou
CRAVING THE BAD BOY 211 - Familar Voice
Ariana POVAriana stood frozen on the sidewalk, staring at her phone. The call had ended. Cars continued moving around her. People walked past without paying attention. The city remained alive and busy, but Ariana barely noticed any of it.Her entire focus was on the last few seconds of that phone call. The man's terrified voice. The crash. The sudden silence. And most importantly, the voice she had heard in the background. A voice she recognized. At first, she thought she might have imagined it. The call had been chaotic. Everything happened so quickly. Maybe her mind was trying to connect pieces that didn't belong together.But the more she thought about it, the more certain she became. She knew that voice. She had heard it recently. Very recently. Her pulse raced as she replayed the memory over and over. Then her eyes widened. Nathan. The voice sounded like Nathan. Ariana immediately shook her head. "No."The word escaped her lips before she realized it. It didn't make sense. Just
CRAVING THE BAD BOY 210 - The Interview
Ariana POVThe next morning, the office felt completely different. Nobody said it openly, but everyone knew something was happening. The usual laughter in the hallways was gone. Conversations became quieter whenever someone walked past. Employees exchanged curious looks. Even people who normally focused only on their work seemed distracted.Ariana felt it the moment she entered the building. The tension. The uncertainty. The feeling that something important was about to happen. As she settled at her desk, her phone buzzed. It was a message from Vanessa. Come to Conference Room B at 10:00. Nothing else. No explanation. No details. Ariana checked the time. 9:12. Almost an hour to wait.She tried focusing on her work, but it was impossible. Her attention kept drifting back to the investigation. Every few minutes she glanced at the clock. By the time 10:00 arrived, her nerves were stretched thin. She stood and walked toward Conference Room B. Vanessa was already there.So was the security
CRAVING THE BAD BOY 209 - A different kind of happiness
Ariana POVAriana arrived at the office nearly forty minutes earlier than usual. The roads were quieter. The parking lot was half empty. Even the reception area felt unusually calm. Yet despite the peaceful atmosphere, tension sat heavily in her chest. She barely slept the previous night. Vanessa's words had replayed in her mind for hours. "We identified who accessed the files."The statement wasn't a complete answer, but it was more progress than anyone had made in weeks. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Vanessa appeared from the end of the hallway. "You came early.""You said it was serious."Vanessa nodded. "It is."Without another word, she led Ariana toward a conference room. The moment they entered, Ariana noticed two other people already waiting inside. One was from the company's security department. The other worked in information technology.Neither looked particularly happy. That wasn't a good sign. Ariana took a seat. "So what happened?"The security manager open
