Emily sighed and brushed a few strands of hair behind my ear.

“You went into a coma again. It’s been two days. The doctor just left a few minutes ago. He said you’d wake soon… and he was right.”

She paused then continued.

“Also… Titan visited.”

My eyes snapped open, wide with disbelief.

He’s alive?!

“Where is he?” I croaked, my voice barely above a whisper.

She gave a soft nod toward the door.

“He’s outside the room, leaning on the wall. He’s been there for two days straight. Hasn’t eaten, hasn’t moved. Just sat there, hoping for you to wake up.”

She looked at me, unsure. “Should I call him in?”

Why does it feel like someone just unclenched their fist from around my lungs? Like a burden was suddenly removed from my shoulders.

I shouldn’t care but yet why do I feel a strange sense of happiness swelling in my chest that he is alive?

How did I get this attached to him without even realizing it?

I hated that he was boring. I hated that he treated me too gently. I hated that he didn’t se

  • CRY OR BETTER YET, BEG   GET RID OF HIM

    TITAN’S POVI got to her room and dropped her gently on the bed.She bounced lightly on the mattress, her long hair fanning over the pillow, her eyes flaming with fury.“You disobeyed me again! No one crosses that line!” she hissed, sitting up fast. “And I tell you, first thing tomorrow morning, I will be with Lord Vince, and I will make sure you're fired!”I said nothing but stepped closer to her.She flinched slightly but didn't move away.I reached up and unclipped the sling wrapped around my shoulder—the one holding up my supposedly “broken” arm.Her brows furrowed in confusion.“What the hell?” she whispered. “That was support for your arm. You fixed your arm?”She blinked, visibly thrown off.“Whatever,” she muttered, shaking her head, recovering. “I don’t want to know what just happened. Titan, on your knees.”She instructed with her chin up.I didn't argue and did exactly as she instructed.I knelt.That shocked her, I guess.Her lips parted slightly.“Great. I thought you mal

  • CRY OR BETTER YET, BEG   GOOFY SIDE OF HER

    He looked up and saw me, then stood immediately, offering a handshake.“You must be Aria's new bodyguard. I’m Daniel.”Daniel.The name hit a nerve.It sounds quite familiar, but I am certain we haven't met. I didn’t take his hand. Just stared.He lowered it awkwardly, clearing his throat.“My mom said you're a cool guy,” he added, trying to smooth the tension.His mom?My brows twitched in confusion.Then it came back to me—Aria's housekeeper. She once mentioned her son, Daniel.Right on cue, Emily walked in with a smile.“Oh! You two have met?” she chirped. “Titan, this is my son—Daniel. Daniel… Titan's Aria's bodyguard.”“Titan? That's his name? Or is it just a nickname?”Daniel said with an amused expression.I didn’t say a word.Before I could piece together how to react, Aria entered the room.She stopped at us, with a turkey wing in her hand. Her gaze flicked between us.She narrowed her eyes.“Well, you two look nothing alike,” she commented, her tone edged with sarcasm.I sta

  • CRY OR BETTER YET, BEG   UNFAMILIAR

    Just then, a nurse came in to get me ready for discharge.She gently untangled the IV lines and checked my vitals one last time."You're good to go," she said with a warm smile.I nodded, exhausted, my body still feeling twice as heavy as it should."Where's Emily?" I asked as I slipped on my shoes."She left earlier," the nurse replied.I gave another tired nod and carefully stepped out of the bed. The nurse followed behind, holding my handbag.My legs felt like jelly-weak, unsteady. I could barely walk properly.The moment I stepped outside the clinic, the harsh sunlight hit me like a slap. My head spun instantly.My stomach growled, loud and angry. If I don't eat soon, I am definitely going to collapse all over again.Titan was already there at the parking lot, standing by the car, his left arm still in a sling.Driving one-handed didn't seem to be a problem for him.The nurse handed me my bag and turned back into the clinic.Titan opened the car door for me without saying a word.

  • CRY OR BETTER YET, BEG   KEEP DIGGING

    ARIA'S POV I couldn’t believe what I was seeing; I was shocked to death. He didn’t even flinch. What the hell is wrong with him? Is he picking a fight with Lord Vince?! “Ouch! Oh my gosh!” I suddenly cried, clutching my stomach. Both of them turned sharply to me. “I think I just got my period,” I said dramatically. “I’ve always fantasized about using it as natural lubricant.” Lord Vince let go of Titan’s collar with a snarl of disgust. “You know how much I hate that,” he spat at me. Oh, I know. I know it drives you insane. “Come on, Daddy. It’s just blood. You’ll survive.” “That’s enough.” “My second hole is still clean,” I grinned, tilting my head. “I’m horny. Okay? Do something.” “I said that’s ENOUGH!” His voice cracked the air like a whip. I froze. He straightened his coat and smoothed a hand through his hair. “You have an assignment,” he muttered darkly. “The Italian bastard will be thrilled to satisfy your… kitten. The intel you need will be on

  • CRY OR BETTER YET, BEG   KILL ME?

    TITAN'S POV Slap! My head snapped sideways from the force of her palm. My cheek burned instantly. “Who the hell asked you to do that?!” She snapped angrily, a hand over her mouth. “You told me to clean it…” I murmured, my voice barely audible. Her eyes widened with disbelief. “A tissue would do, you idiot! What are you, a dog?!” I bowed my head. “I’m sorry, ma'am.” But my apology only seemed to enrage her more. She grabbed the edge of the table with trembling fingers and shoved the tray toward me. The force rattled the cutlery. “I’m not eating anymore. Just get rid of the damn table.” That didn’t go well. She hadn’t eaten a proper meal in days. She could barely hold a spoon. And now she was refusing food altogether. I hesitated, my hand still resting on the edge of the table. But I knew better than to push her further. So I obeyed. I grasped the table and pushed it across the room. The metal legs scraped harshly against the tiled floor. The grating sound brought a mem

  • CRY OR BETTER YET, BEG   FORBID YOU

    My body still aches. The IV in my arm is still pulsing painfully. I could barely sit up, let alone walk—let alone kill.But I had no right to complain. Not to Lord Vince.“I need a new bodyguard,” I said coldly, without hesitation. “I just fired Titan. I don’t want him here. Assign me someone else.”Axe’s gaze slid briefly to Titan, then back to me.“Lord Vince has no intention of replacing him for now,” he replied calmly.I narrowed my eyes in annoyance.“Tell him what I said, you prick!”Axe’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t respond.He just stared at me with something close to disdain before turning and walking out of the room.Emily cleared her throat awkwardly.“Aria… Titan has been a great bodyguard, dear. Why do you want to fire him?”I didn’t even look at her.“Bitch, this has nothing to do with you.”Emily was silent after my statement.She simply placed the tray of food on the table, then slid it in front of me.Without a word or a glance, she turned and left, shutting the door
