Nina’s POV

The silence in the dining room was so heavy I could hear the faint ticking of the grandfather clock in the corner.

Victoria tapped the silver iPad screen.

For three agonising seconds, nothing happened. Then, the sleek white display flickered violently. A bright, glaring red banner flashed across the top of the screen, followed by a harsh digital buzz that echoed off the high ceiling.

  • Dear EX   Chapter 50: “WTF is going on here”

    Nina’s POVMy heart stopped beating.The sound of the front deadbolt clicking open vibrated through my apartment like an explosion."Nillie? Sweetie, I brought you some homemade soup!"Roman’s entire body went rock-hard above me. In a single, fraction-of-a-second blur of lightning-fast motion, he grabbed the heavy velvet blanket and threw it over my head and shoulders, using his broad, bare back as an impenetrable shield to cover my body completely.STEP. STEP. STEP.Amelia’s soft footsteps rounded the corner of the short hallway, coming straight into my bedroom."I tried calling your phone first, but—"Amelia stopped dead in her tracks in the doorway.The silence that hit the room was suffocating, heavy, and deadlier than a loaded gun.Sitting on the edge of the hardwood floor directly in front of the doorway was Roman’s dark designer belt, his silk tie, his unbuttoned white dress shirt, and his leather dress shoes. Beside the nightstand lay my discarded sleep shirt and my panties.A

  • Dear EX   Chapter 49: Amelia caught me fucking her brother in-law

    Nina’s POVThe rain kept falling, soft and silver against the bedroom glass, and Roman didn’t take his eyes off me. Not once. Not even when he set his empty coffee mug down on the nightstand with that quiet click that somehow felt louder than the storm outside.“You’re still flushed,” he said, his voice low, rough around the edges from sleep. His thumb traced the curve of my jaw, feather-light. “Does anything hurt?”“No,” I whispered, and it was the truth. “I feel… awake. Like the fever burned everything away and left something new under my skin.”His mouth curved, slow and dangerous. “Something new?”I nodded, my fingers curling into the open collar of his shirt. The linen was warm from his body, and I could feel the steady thrum of his pulse beneath it. The air between us shifted—charged, heavy, inevitable. He looked at my lips, then back up to my eyes, asking without words.I pulled him down.He came willingly, his mouth meeting mine in a kiss that started soft, almost reverent, bu

  • Dear EX   Chapter 48: Doctor Roman at work

    Nina’s POVThe soft, steady patter of Saturday morning rain tapped against my bedroom glass.I woke up buried under a fortress of heavy velvet blankets, my body wrapped completely in Roman’s warm, solid arms. The burning fever that had wrecked me yesterday had finally broken, leaving behind a faint, lingering ache and a sudden, massive appetite.Roman stirred behind me, his chest expanding against my back. His arm tightened around my waist, pulling me a fraction of an inch closer, his deep, sleepy voice rumbling against the nape of my neck."How's your head, Nillie?" Roman rasped, his lips pressing a soft, lingering kiss right behind my ear."Much better," I murmured, turning around in his arms to look up at his handsome face. His dark hair was messy, his jaw shadowed with dark stubble, but his eyes were wide awake and glowing with protective warmth. "Your fever medicine actually worked.""Good," Roman smiled faintly, his thumb gently stroking my cheek. "Because you're staying in this

  • Dear EX   Chapter 47: Roman takes the lead in the heir race

    Nina’s POVThe rest of the morning at Blake HQ passed in a blur of cold sweat and breathless terror.Every time the second hand ticked on my computer monitor, my heart slammed against my ribs. It was 11:00 AM. Then 12:00 PM. Then 1:00 PM.In just sixty minutes, Victoria's private chauffeur was going to deliver the raw, uncorrupted master drive straight to her top-floor office, and the entire executive board would watch the digital lab unblur my face live on the master screen.I sat at my cubicle desk, my hands trembling as I tried to type out press summaries. I looked over toward Roman's glass office at the end of the hall. He was standing by his desk, towering and silent, taking back-to-back phone calls while Ethan leaned against his bookshelf, typing frantically on his black laptop.Then, at exactly 1:30 PM—thirty minutes before my life was scheduled to blow up—every single news terminal on the thirty-eighth floor flashed bright green.BREAKING NEWS: BLAKE GROUP ACQUIRES SOLE GLOBAL

DATA UNREADABLE.Damien slammed his crystal coffee cup down so hard black liquid splashed onto the crisp white tablecloth. "What the hell is that?!""It appears to be a system error," Victoria said, her voice dropping into an icy, terrifying register. She tapped the screen again frantically, but the same red error message popped up."That's impossible!" Damien barked, leaping to his feet and leaning right over Victoria’s shoulder. "They were supposed to unblur the video frame-by-frame! Roman, what did you do?!"Ethan took a slow, casual bite of his buttered toast, cru

  • Dear EX   Chapter 45: The Wild Card

    Nina’s POVMy pulse stopped completely.Ethan’s finger was pointing directly at me, his hazel eyes wide with pure, unadulterated shock. The cheerful, playful smirk he had walked in with was completely gone, replaced by a look of wild realization."Nina?!" Ethan gasped again, his voice ringing through the dead-quiet room like a gunshot. "Are you... isn't she..."Victoria’s sharp eyes narrowed into dangerous slits. She set her bone-china teacup down on the saucer with a loud, metallic CLINK. "Ethan? What on earth are you talking about?"Damien leaned forward on the sofa, his icy blue eyes darting suspiciously between Ethan and me. "Do you know our intern, Ethan?"Before Ethan could utter another word that would blow my whole life to pieces, Roman stepped into the center of the room. His tall, broad frame physically blocked Ethan’s line of sight to my desk."Ethan is referring to the communications department briefing files," Roman said, his deep, commanding voice slicing through the thi
