~•~

The hospital smelled like antiseptic.

I hated the smell of antiseptic.

But I’d been there for six hours already.

My grandfather was propped up in bed, looking frail in a way that felt fake. The doctors came in now and then, muttering words like stable, observation, minor episodes, and many more.

I still wasn’t sure what exactly was wrong with him.

It seemed like Rafael had been right again. It was obviously another way to bring me home even after “giving me time to get the American out of my system.”

I heaved a deep breath and threw my head back on the couch that sat opposite my grandfather’s bed. Rafael was right about a lot of things, but it was the smugness in which he said them that pissed me the fuck off.

He knew too much about me which was why it was easy for him to get under my skin. He was the only one who managed to get me heated with only one sentence.

I didn’t regret hitting him, but I definitely regretted doing it in front of her. I hated that Serena

    Serena Vale~•~I cleared my throat and forced my face not to look as disturbed as I felt inside. “You said we should meet by nine.”He stared at his wristwatch. “You’re right. My bad.”He opened the door fully and allowed me to step in. Noelle was standing by his desk. She gave me a slight nod when I entered. “Miss Vale,” she greeted, also not making an indication that they knew I was standing behind the door much longer before I knocked.Were they sweeping it under the rug? Or was this part of their plan to fuck with me?Noelle closed the door behind me and sat on the couch at the end of the office while I sat opposite Marcus’s seat. Marcus picked up a tablet and slid it across his desk like he wasn’t just talking about stealing someone else’s hard work on purpose. “I wanted to go over a few refinements based on your initial reaction.” I picked it up. “My initial reaction?”He nodded. “Have you had any thoughts since our last meeting?”I had a lot of thoughts. I just couldn’t say

    Serena Vale~•~We ended up sleeping in my room. When I woke up the next morning, both sides of the bed were cold. I forced myself out of bed since I had another meeting with Marcus this morning.I brushed my teeth, showered, and got dressed. I was more than surprised when I went into the kitchen for a glass of water and saw Rafael and Nikolai still around.I looked at the time on my phone. They were usually gone by eight and those were on their late days. “Are you guys suddenly free these days?” I questioned, bringing their attention to me.“Rafael said it’s your birthday soon,” Nikolai said as I checked the cupboard for the cereal boxes. “We came back early last night to discuss it.”I paused. Was it that serious? I’d forgotten my birthday was less than two weeks away yet they remembered and came back from work early so they could plan for it? “When will you be free?” Rafael asked.“How long are you talking about?”“A weekend.”I thought about it. I wasn’t sure if I would be free a

    Serena Vale~•~I tried to pull back but Rafael’s grip tightened around my head just enough to keep me in place. My whine was muffled around his cock and he groaned like he was affected by the sound.Nikolai chuckled. “Patience, Princess.”Only then did Rafael pull out.I sucked in a deep breath, and spit and slobber ran down my mouth. I wiped my lips, looking up at Rafael. Before I could say anything, I was flipped around. The sudden position left me feeling dizzy. By the time I opened my eyes properly, Nikolai’s face was in my view and someone, likely Rafael, was already between my thighs.“Eyes on me,” Nikolai commanded softly.I had no choice but to keep my eyes on him whenever he spoke like that during sex. Rafael’s mouth met my pussy, but a lot slower than Nikolai’s. Torturously slow long licks from my clit to my slit. I whimpered, my hips rolling uselessly since I wasn’t able to take more than what he was giving me. “Rafael, please…”Rafael looked up at me. “You’re so pretty w

    Serena Vale~•~The kiss was slow. It tasted like red wine and a lot of tension. When Nikolai pulled away, his hand remained on my hair, his finger tracing my jaw with soft circles that distracted me from reality. “You’re still not telling us something.”On my other end, Rafael’s hand settled over my thighs. “We aren’t the enemy, Serena.” His voice was soft, careful. “If someone is threatening you or your business has hit something that you can’t handle–““It’s not that,” I interrupted him. No one was threatening me. Not directly at least. I looked up at Nikolai. Somehow, he looked a lot more handsome from this angle. I thought of Marcus and the NDA that accompanied my contract. If I spoke, I broke the law. If I didn’t, I’d let the people I love walk into an ambush. If I tried to find a loophole, I was sure Marcus would just attack me directly instead of the guys. There was no winning.He had been very calm for the past three months. We had built a secure working relationship. I even

    Serena Vale~•~The structure. The timelines. Even the target market overlapped. It was way too similar to be a coincidence.I forced my face to stay neutral and kept nodding as he spoke, but I was anything but calm inside. If what Marcus was saying was true and he was just starting to work on this, then it meant that Rafael and Nikolai did it first.I knew that ideas overlapped, but everything couldn’t possibly be the same, could it?This was theft. I just couldn’t prove it.As he explained, I thought back to what Nikolai said. Marcus’s company had been built on the software Nikolai’s father was working on. They had stolen it. Now it seemed like Marcus was recreating history.This couldn’t be unintentional.I let him finish the presentation, then I smiled as calmly as I could. “That’s interesting. I’ll need some time to think of how I can position it.”Marcus returned my smile but there was something disturbing about it. “Take all the time you need, Serena.”I stood and didn’t wait

    Serena Vale~•~The next three months were peaceful, but very different. It had also become normal.Rafael, Nikolai, and I finally moved in together two months ago. We were renting because I didn’t have enough money to buy a house yet, nor was I ready to combine finances when our relationship was still less than a year old. Navigating a three-way relationship was quite challenging. All three of us obviously couldn’t share a bedroom so we each had one. Everyone was very busy, which was what prompted us to move in together even if it was to catch a glimpse of each other during the mornings and nights.I heard the sound of a door closing softly somewhere along the hall, prompting me to stand up as well. I went into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and went straight to the kitchen when the scent of toast reached my nose. Rafael was already gone by the time I made it to the kitchen. His mug was in the sink, rinsed but not put away yet. Nikolai was on a kitchen stool, his tablet in one ha
