Bailey POV “ What do you think you are doing?” I eventually ask, unable to stop myself.Orion turns to look at me and gives me a grin that has my heart drumming so loud I'm afraid he might hear it.“ Helping, of course.” He replies as if that's the most normal thing to do.I can't help but shake my head helplessly.“ You don't need to do that, you know.” I try talking him out of it. It's a small gesture, maybe something to pass time for him but to me? Let's just say it warms my heart.After being with Nolan for years, I can attest that this isn't something he would do.“ I know that but still, I am doing it because I want to.” Orion answers.“ You don't want free labour?” He adds and I can't help but smile.“ As long as you don't expect anything in return, I'm happy to have an extra hand.” I reply.My words have Orion pausing.“ Is that what scares you? Giving something in return?” He asks, walking to me.Our gazes meet and lock and while my body screams at me to retreat, I stay root

Bailey’s POVTalia is already awake when I walk into the kitchen the next morning.She is sitting at the counter, sipping coffee and scrolling through her phone. The smell of pancakes fills the air.“Morning,” I mumble, rubbing my eyes. I slept like a baby last night after I arrived from the event. I didn't even realise when Talia came home.She looks up and gives me a smile.“Good morning, beautiful. You are glowing today. If I didn't know any better, I'd think you've fallen in love.” Talia teases me.I roll my eyes and reach for a mug. “ Fallen in a ditch maybe.” I snicker and Talia chuckles.“So, are you going to tell me what exactly happened yesterday? Or do I have to check social media for it?” I almost groan at that question.I sigh and lean against the counter. “ What's there to tell? Orion took me to one of those events they always attending.We came across Nolan. No, I should say, Orion dragged my ass there because he knew Nolan would be there.”Now that I think of it, I re

Orion POV “You didn't have to do that.” Bailey whispers as we walk away. I hide my smile and decide to play dumb.“ Do what?”She chuckles. “ Thanks anyway. That was satisfying to watch.” She looks amused and impressed.Seeing her smile makes my heart flips, and I find myself craving to see more of it.I have craved her for years, watching her smile for that asshole from afar.He never deserved her, I knew that but Bailey was so smitten by him. I clear my throat, forcing my gaze away before she catches the shift in my expression.She doesn’t need to know that one smile from her can throw me completely off balance. It always did. The difference now is, she is by my side.She can keep thinking this is a fake relationship. Truth is, she is not getting away from me. Not now. Not ever.“Guess you’re not as big of a jerk as you pretend to be,” she says. She is clearly teasing me.“Don’t spread that rumor,” I reply, shoving my hands into my jacket pockets. “I have worked hard on my reputat

Bailey POV A week later. The hospital doesn’t feel so heavy anymore like it did that day when the doctor informed me about my grandmother’s urgent surgery. Grandma looks stronger with each passing day, her smile returning bit by bit. Watching her talk to the nurses and tease them about their uniforms almost makes me forget the panic of last week. I almost lost her. The surgery had gone well, better than we hoped actually. For the first time after that call, I feel like I can breathe with ease. “You should go back to Chicago,” she says, adjusting the blanket around her shoulders. Her voice is soft with that warmth that always makes me melt. “Don’t let me hold you back, I am doing better. You have your boyfriend waiting for you. I don’t want you neglecting him because of me.” Her words slice through me, reminding me of that painful heartbreak I had almost forgotten. I stare at her, trying to find the courage to tell her the truth — that there is no boyfriend anymore, th

Bailey POV My healing journey was going well until I received an alarming call.“ Miss Dawson, can you come to the hospital immediately?” I had been in the middle of arranging my small bakery shop when the call came.At first, I was confused and then dread followed.When I arrived at the hospital, my grandmother was already laying in the ICU.That's when my world started cracking again.“ Your grandmother’s condition worsened and she needs a heart surgery as soon as possible.”I trembled and took a step back as I felt like my world was running in circles.A heart surgery? When I had drained my savings to set up my bakery?Desperate, I pleaded with the landlady to give back the six months down payment I had made but my efforts were proven futile.I mortgaged the house my parents left me but it was not enough. That's how I found myself here, in a club serving drinks to earn money.The bass thumps so hard through the velvet-lined walls I could feel it in my bones. I clutch my tray a li

Bailey The flight back to Michigan felt endless. My body was in the seat, but my mind was stuck in that bedroom in Chicago, replaying the sounds, the smirk, the way Nolan had looked at me as if I were nothing.After seven years of dating and giving it all in our relationship, I was slapped with betrayal and mockery.I had grabbed my hand bag, booked a flight to Michigan with trembling hands. I didn't look back. I had nothing to look back to. Nolan was the reason I moved to Chicago to begin with and with our relationship shattered, I couldn't stay there.Three years of devotion were reduced to an ugly joke by his betrayal. The man who has vowed to always love me looked me in the eye and said that my love was suffocating him, that I couldn't offer him anything. By the time the plane landed, it was already morning. I shuffle down the aisle with nothing but the bag I had grabbed in my rush to escape the bitter reality my life has unraveled into.Stepping out into the cool Michigan air,
