The long black limousine glided smoothly through the city roads while soft jazz music played quietly inside.I sat beside Adrien with my legs crossed carefully, trying not to wrinkle the expensive black gown hugging my body like a second skin.Every few seconds my eyes drifted toward the tinted window, watching the city lights blur past us beautifully, but somehow they always found their way back to him.Adrien looked~KhiraThe entire ride back home felt strangely warm, and maybe it was because my mind refused to stop replaying every single thing that happened tonight. Theresa’s expression after I called Adrien my man still floated proudly inside my head, and every time I remembered it, satisfaction curled beautifully through me.Petty? Absolutely.Is it worth it? Completely.The moment we got inside the mansion, I turned toward Adrien with a soft smile resting on my lips. The house was unusually quiet tonight, only the faint sound of the television somewhere distant mixing with the ticking of the giant wall clock.“Goodnight,” I muttered softly.Then I bit my lower lip lightly before turning around to head upstairs.I had barely taken two steps when suddenly his fingers wrapped around my wrist gently.I stopped immediately. Slowly, I turned back toward him.Adrien stood there staring at me calmly, one hand still holding mine while the other rested inside his pocket casually.“Not without giving
~AdrienThe entire drive back home remained painfully quiet, the kind of silence that wasn’t exactly uncomfortable but definitely carried too many unspoken thoughts moving around inside it. The city lights passed across the windshield slowly while Khira sat beside me staring outside the window most of the time, her fingers resting against her lap.I kept my eyes on the road, one hand resting against the steering wheel while the other tapped lightly against my thigh unconsciously.Every few seconds I caught myself glancing toward her briefly, replaying what happened back at the hall over and over again inside my head.“He’s my man.”God.That girl truly had dangerous timing. And the craziest part? She said it so naturally like she believed it.Or maybe, like she wanted Theresa to believe it. Neither option was exactly safe.When we finally arrived at the
~AdrienThe moment I stepped down from the staircase leading from the upper floor into the main hall, the entire atmosphere shifted almost immediately. Conversations reduced slowly, eyes followed my movement carefully, and even the orchestra playing at the far end seemed quieter beneath the heavy attention spreading through the hall.That was one thing about fear. Real fear never needed introduction.I adjusted the sleeve of my black suit calmly while walking through the crowd without hurry, my eyes already fixed on the particular table ahead where Khira sat together with Theresa, Freddy, and Alex.Interesting combination, very dangerous combination too.Khira noticed me first. Even from a distance, I caught the tiny change in her expression immediately. Her fingers tightened lightly against the wine glass she held while that peaceful smile remained on her face stu
~KhiraThe strange seriousness hanging around the table suddenly became too heavy for me to handle comfortably. One minute I was celebrating becoming a CEO, the next minute I was sitting between two dangerously handsome psychopaths discussing trauma, betrayal, and emotional warnings like it was normal dinner conversation.Honestly, I needed air and I needed to check up on Adrien.I slowly pushed my chair backward and stood up carefully, adjusting the side of my dress slightly.“I think I need to walk around before this conversation turns into a funeral confession,” I muttered lightly.Alex almost smiled. Freddy actually chuckled softly.“Smart choice,” Freddy said calmly while lifting his wine glass slightly toward me. “Too much exposure to us can reduce your lifespan.”“Clearly,” I replied dryly.I had barely taken two steps away from the table wh
~KhiraMy fingers tightened slightly around the microphone as I stared at the massive crowd before me. God, there were too many people. Rich people. Important people. Dangerous people pretending to smile politely while secretly judging every single movement I made.The giant hall remained completely silent, waiting for me to speak.Wonderful, no pressure at all.I swallowed softly and forced a smile onto my face.“Good evening everyone,” I began carefully, my voice surprisingly steady despite the war happening inside my chest. “Honestly, I had a very long speech prepared for tonight…”A few people chuckled softly.I smiled faintly. “But after seeing this crowd, my memory suddenly resigned from work.”Laughter spread louder across the hall immediately.Okay, good.At least they were laughing instead of staring at me like hungr
~AdrienMaking Theresa jealous of Khira would bring absolutely nothing good to Khira in the current situation and circumstances surrounding everything. And in this world, innocent women do not survive jealous powerful women for very long without facing serious consequences. Especially not women like Theresa who possessed significant influence and capabilities. Theresa was not just some emotional rich woman crying over old feelings from the past. She was influential, connected, intelligent, and dangerously capable of destroying lives quietly while still smiling beautifully before cameras the next morning without any visible effort. So the moment I noticed the way her eyes followed mine whenever I looked downstairs toward Khira, I immediately knew I needed to end that line of thinking before it became dangerous for everyone involved. I took another slow sip from my whiskey and
