CRAVING THE BAD BOY 94 - No way out
94 - No way out.Nick POV"Going somewhere?"The voice came from above us, calm, almost amused. I looked up slowly. A man stood at the top of the stairs, one hand resting on the rail, the other in his pocket like he had all the time in the world.Ariana’s grip on my arm tightened. "Nick…" she whispered."I see him," I said quietly.My mind was moving fast now, too fast. Front blocked. Back blocked. No clear exit. We were trapped. The man beside us, the one who brought Ariana here, stepped slightly back, like he was thinking. Like he was calculating something."Who is that?" Ariana asked.No one answered. Because we all knew this was bad. The man upstairs took a slow step down. Then another. Each step echoed. Loud and controlled."You made this harder than it had to be," he said.I clenched my jaw. "What do you want?"He smiled slightly. "Straight to the point. I like that."Another step down. Ariana shifted closer to me. I could feel her fear now. Real fear. And that made something in
CRAVING THE BAD BOY 93 - Don't open it.
Ariana POVMy hand was on the door. I did not remember walking this far inside the building. One minute I was outside, staring at the address on my phone, and the next minute I was here, standing in front of a closed door that felt like it was hiding something heavy.Something important, something dangerous. The hallway was quiet, too quiet, the kind of silence that makes you hear your own heartbeat, slow, loud and unsteady. I swallowed and looked back over my shoulder. No one. Just darkness behind me.For a second, I thought about leaving. Just turning around and walking out. Going back home. Pretending none of this ever happened. But then I remembered the voice on the phone. "I know what really happened to your father."That was enough. I turned back to the door. My fingers tightened slightly around the handle. "Just open it," I whispered to myself.Before I could move, a voice came from behind me. "Ariana."My whole body froze. I knew that voice. I turned slowly. Nick. He stood a f
CRAVING THE BAD BOY 92 - This is bigger.
Nick POVI had not slept. Not even for a second. My eyes burned, my head ached, but I could not rest. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw it again. Ariana. Her face. The way she looked at me the last time we spoke. And now…She had seen everything. The proposal. The video. There was no going back from that. I sat on the edge of my bed, my phone in my hand. I had tried calling her. More times than I could count. No answer. I sent messages. No reply. She had cut me off. And I could not even blame her.A knock came on my door. “Come in,” I muttered.My manager stepped inside, looking serious. “We need to talk.”I let out a dry laugh. “When do we not?”“This is not a joke, Nick.”I rubbed my face. “I know.”He walked closer and dropped a file on the table. “The situation is getting worse.”“I can see that.”“Your engagement helped a little, but not enough.”I frowned. “What do you mean?”“The media is digging deeper.”My stomach tightened. “How deep?”He hesitated. “Deep enough to start as
CRAVING THE BAD BOY 91 - Come alone?
Ariana POVI did not sleep. I tried, really did. I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, turning from one side to the other, closing my eyes, opening them again, but nothing worked. My mind kept going back to that call.That voice. “I think we need to talk about your father.” Over and over again. Who was that? How did he get my number? And why did he sound so sure? I sat up slowly and rubbed my face. The room was quiet, too quiet, and it made everything feel louder inside my head.My phone was on the bed beside me. I stared at it for a long time. Should I call back? No. What if it was a trap? What if it was just someone trying to mess with me because of everything happening online? But…What if it wasn’t? My chest tightened. What if this was the truth I had been looking for? I grabbed my phone quickly and checked the number again. Unknown. No name. No profile. Nothing. “Damn it,” I muttered.I stood up and began to pace around the room. My father. That word alone was enough to make m
CRAVING THE BAD BOY 90 - Not anymore.
Ariana POVI did not cry, that was the first thing I noticed. I stood there, staring at my phone, staring at the video that refused to leave my screen, and for some reason, no tears came. Just a tight feeling in my chest, like something was slowly pressing down on me, making it hard to breathe.Nick on one knee. Laura smiling. A ring. People cheering. It felt unreal, like I was watching a movie I did not sign up for. “Ari…”Sophia’s voice came from behind me, soft, careful, like she was scared I would break if she spoke too loudly.I blinked once, then twice, and finally locked my phone. “I’m fine,” I said.My voice sounded strange. Too calm. Too empty. Sophia did not believe me. I could feel it in the way she stepped closer, in the way her hand hovered around my arm before finally resting on it.“Ari, you don’t have to pretend.”“I said I’m fine.”This time, my tone came out sharper than I expected. She went quiet. For a few seconds, neither of us spoke. The only sound was the faint
CRAVING THE BAD BOY 89 - You chose her.
Nick POVMy phone kept ringing, over and over again. I didn’t even need to check to know who it was. Ariana. My chest tightened every single time her name flashed across my screen. I ran my hand through my hair and paced around my room like I had lost control of my own body. Because I had.Everything was falling apart faster than I expected. “Pick up,” I muttered under my breath. “Come on, kitten, just pick up.”The call ended. Silence stretched. Then another call came in. I picked up immediately this time. “Ari...”The line went dead. She declined it. My heart dropped. “No… no, no…”I stared at my phone like it had just betrayed me. She never ignored me like this. No matter how bad things got between us, she always answered eventually. But this time…she wasn’t. And I knew why. The video. The proposal. Everything was already out. Everywhere, trending. Every news page. Every sports blog.Nick Carter proposes to longtime girlfriend Laura The headline made my stomach turn. “Longtime girl

Sofia and I decided to have a sleepover at her house since we haven't had one of those in a while and it was also the only way of getting Nick out of my head. We decided to watch a marathon of sisters because it's the only show we could agree on watching. Sofia popped down next to me on her comf

I was stuffing my books into my backpack when a sudden knock on the door pulled my attention."I'm coming!" I yelled, as I dragged myself to the door, and pulled it open.I blinked, taking aback on seeing Eve, Nick's mom"Ariana," She faked a smile as she eyed me from head to toe, sizing me up. I r

"She's gay." He blurted out.I narrowed my eyes. "Gay?""Yes, she's involved with some girl, okay! We're just pretending to be a thing because her parents doesn't approve her sexual choices, and I need her father's influence in growing my career."I swallowed. "But that only complicates this... wha
