ADRIAN

I watched her as she wrote, biting the edge of her pen when she tried to think about what to write, then smiling when she remembered something and wrote it down.

She was curled up on the couch, her legs tucked beneath her, her brow furrowed in concentration as she wrote in that damn notebook I’d given her. The one that was supposed to help me understand her.

I walked to the kitchen and kept watching her, leaning against the counter. She hadn’t looked up once in the last twenty minutes, completely lost in whatever she was putting down on those pages.

I grabbed a bag of her favorite chips—the ridiculously spicy ones she always complained about but couldn’t stop eating—and a glass of water, then walked over to her.

“You’re going to burn a hole through that page if you stare any harder,” I said, setting the snacks on the coffee table in front of her.

Lena blinked, as if pulled from a trance, then glanced up at me. The corner of her mouth lifted. “What did you say?”

    ADRIANThe night air hit my face as I got to the carpark. I started the engine and moved to the warehouse Marco said they were at, running past every red light.The warehouse lights were blinding when I burst through the side door. Tony lay sprawled across a makeshift stretcher, his breathing shallow, face swollen beyond recognition. Blood soaked through the bandages Jax was hastily applying to his abdomen. “Morellis…” Tony rasped when he saw me, his one good eye fluttering. “Warehouse...red doors…”His body went limp. “Put some pressure here!” Jax barked at one of our men, shoving a fresh wad of gauze against Tony's side. “We need to move him now if you want him alive.” I knelt beside the stretcher, examining Tony's boots while the medics worked. The soles were caked with thick red clay—the distinctive kind from Gabriel's private dockyard near the old shipyards. “Get him to Dr. Chen's clinic,” I ordered. “Make sure there are no hospital records and pay them in cash.” As they

    ADRIANI gripped Gabe’s arm tighter as we got into the warehouse, my fingers digging into his leather jacket. “This is a bad idea. There’s another way.” Gabriel shook me off with a laugh, the lighter flickering in his hand casting shadows across his face. “Since when do you question Dad’s orders? We have to always do whatever dad says.” “Since they involve burning a building with people inside, Gabe! We're better than this.” My voice cracked. I turned as I heard the sound of a child’s laughter from somewhere inside the warehouse. Gabriel’s smile didn’t reach his eyes. “They’re just collateral, Ian.” I stepped in front of him, blocking his path to the door. “No. Let us wait until it’s empty.” For a second, I thought he’d listen. His expression wavered—just like it used to when we were kids and I’d beg him not to steal candy from old man Rossi’s shop. Then his fist connected with my jaw. I stumbled back, tasting blood. Gabriel loomed over me, his voice low. “You don’t get

    AVAI didn’t even stop to think. One second, I was wiping Lena’s tears, my chest aching at how broken she looked. The next minute, my fingers were in her hair, and I was kissing her. And then, surprisingly, she kissed me back. I froze, losing my train of thoughts. This wasn’t supposed to happen. She was drunk, heartbroken, not in her right mind. I was supposed to pull away, apologize, pretend it never happened. But Lena’s hands fisted in my shirt, pulling me closer, her lips moving against mine like she’d been waiting just as long as I had. I broke the kiss first, breathless. “Lena…”She blinked up at me, her pupils blown, her cheeks flushed from alcohol and our shared kiss. “Ava?”My heart hammered so loud I was sure she could hear it. “You…you kissed me back.”A slow, tipsy smile spread across her face. “Yeah. I did.”I swallowed hard. “Don't... regret it.” Lena studied me for a long moment, her fingers tracing my jaw. “You're so pretty,” Lena mumbled, reaching up to clu

    LENAThe secretary’s chair squeaked as I fidgeted, my eyes locked on the Dean’s door. When it finally swung open, Adrian stormed out—his jaw clenched and his eyes dark. I jumped up. “Professor—” He barely glanced at me before brushing past me leaving me surprised.“Miss Hart?” The Dean’s voice cut through the tension. “My office. Now.” I hesitated, staring at Adrian’s retreating figure. “I don't want to repeat myself.” He ordered.I sat stiffly in the chair across from his desk, my fingers digging into my thighs as he studied me with those cold, calculating eyes. “Miss Hart,” he began, folding his hands on the desk. “I assume you know why you're here.”I swallowed hard. “Because of those photos that have been circulating?”He nodded slowly. “Yes. These photos.” He slid a printed copy toward me. My stomach twisted. “Care to explain what's going on?” I forced myself to meet his gaze. “Those aren't real sir, they're all doctored.”“Are they?”“Yes.” My voice didn't waver. “Som

    EVELYN“Get out,” I hissed. Luke unfolded himself lazily, brushing imaginary dust off his slacks. “But you know that wasn't very nice, Evelyn. Kicking me like that.”I crossed my arms. “You're lucky I didn't scream.”He stepped closer, undeterred. “But you didn't.” His fingers trailed along the edge of my desk. “Because you liked it.”I scoffed. “Don't be ridiculous.”Luke leaned in, his voice dropping to a whisper. “Let’s meet tonight? Our usual place. After work?”I turned away, pretending to straighten papers. “ I have plans.”“Cancel them.”I shot him a glare. “You don't get to order me around, you're the boytoy here, in case you've forgotten.”Luke grinned, undeterred. “I’ve not forgotten, ma'am. I'm giving you a chance to use me as you please.”“I'm not…” I cut myself off, exhaling sharply. “Fine. Fine. But if you're even a minute late, I'm leaving.”He caught my wrist as I tried to walk away, pulling me close. “I'll be waiting for you.” His lips brushed my ear. “Wear the blac

    EVELYNThe elevator ride to my office was the most satisfying I'd had in months. I leaned against the wall, sipping my latte, watching the numbers climb up. Ever since the news about Adrian's scandal was plastered across every student forum, gossip site, and even a few local blogs, I had been over the moon. Doyle had delivered exactly as promised. “Finally,” I thought, smirking into my cup, “something is going right.”The doors slid open and I strode past empty desks— I guess it was too early for most of my staff—and I went straight to my office. I set my bag down, savoring the quiet victory. I'm sure Adrian was having a hard time since his precious reputation was crumbling, his pretty little fling would leave him and soon, when the dust settled, he'd be crawling back to where he belonged—with me. A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts. Emma poked her head in, her tablet clutched to her chest. “Good morning, Ms. Grant. You have two investors arriving soon—the Henderson b
