Nina's POV

"Devour me?" I forced a sharp, incredulous laugh, rolling my eyes as hard as I could. "Amelia, he doesn't want to devour me. He wants to strangle me."

Amelia blinked, her hand dropping from my arm. "What? Why?"

"Because your new brother-in-law is an entitled jerk," I lied, the words spilling out of my mouth before my brain could even double-check them. "Right after the joining ceremony, when I was checking the champagne setup, he was barking at one of the young waitresses. Snapping h

  • Dear EX   Chapter 12: Awkward moments with Roman and Julianna asked me to be her best lady!!

    Nina’s POVI ran all the way back to my apartment with my lungs burning and my hands shaking so badly I could barely insert my key into the lock.As soon as the door slammed shut behind me, I stripped off my clothes and threw them into the laundry hamper like they were radioactive. I jumped straight into the shower, turning the water up until it was almost scalding hot, scrubbing my skin again and again.What did I do? What on earth did I just do again?I squeezed my eyes shut as memories of last night rushed back into my brain—Roman's dark eyes, his hot breath on my skin, the way he held me, the way I had begged him not to stop. I had betrayed my sister. I had slept with her rich brother-in-law, the man engaged to another woman, the man who had broken my heart three years ago."You are an idiot, Nina," I sobbed silently into the streaming water, pressing my forehead against the damp tiles. "A complete, utter idiot."I had exactly forty-five minutes to pull myself together. Amelia and

  • Dear EX   Chapter 11: Then we fucked hot and hard again

    Nina’s POVThe room felt like it was holding its breath.Roman hovered over me, his dark eyes locked on mine, his chest rising and falling in sharp, uneven bursts. The golden light from the street outside cut across his face, making him look almost unreal—like something my drunk, aching heart had conjured out of thin air."Tell me to stop right now, Nina," he repeated, his voice so low and rough it scraped against my skin. "Or give me permission."My lips parted, but no sound came out.My whole body was trembling. Not from cold. Not from fear. From three years of running, three years of pretending I didn't still dream about his hands on my waist, his mouth on my neck, the weight of him pressing me into a mattress just like this.I looked up at him—really looked.His jaw was tight, the muscles in his neck corded with restraint. His fingers were curled into the sheets on either side of my head, knuckles white. He was holding himself back, waiting for me to decide.That was the thing abo

  • Dear EX   Chapter 10: I made out with my Sister’s Brother-in-law!!!

    Nina’s POVThe moment the screen went black and Amelia’s face vanished, my smile fell like a stone.I set my phone face down on the laminate kitchen counter and stared at my reflection in the dark glass. Amelia’s sweet, bright voice was still echoing in my ears."How was work at Aura last night?"My stomach twisted into a tight, uncomfortable knot. Images from last night flashed through my brain like a bad movie—Roman standing over me in the dimly lit service hallway, the heavy scent of his wood-and-amber cologne, the raw heat in his dark eyes, and Julianna smiling sweetly at Table 4, completely clueless."It was a mistake," I had whispered to him. "It meant nothing.""It did mean nothing," I said aloud to my empty apartment, rubbing my throbbing temples. "He's just an arrogant jerk trying to mess with my head."I took a deep breath, swallowed the lump in my throat, and forced myself to walk over to my bed. I wasn't going to let Roman Blake ruin my life again. I had survived three yea

  • Dear EX   Chapter 9: Honeymoon with the love of my life

    Amelia's POVI woke up to the soft sound of waves crashing against the rocks far below our cliffside villa in Amalfi.The morning sun was pouring through the huge glass doors, bathing our king-sized canopy bed in warm, golden light. Crisp white linen sheets were tangled around my legs, but the best part was the heavy, warm arm wrapped firmly around my waist.I turned my head slowly on the pillow. Damien was sleeping beside me, his dark eyelashes resting against his cheekbones, his handsome face completely relaxed. Without his sharp suits and corporate tie, he looked so young, so peaceful, and so wildly attractive that my heart did a little flutter.I reached out and softly ran my fingers through his dark, messy hair."If you keep doing that, Mrs. Blake," Damien muttered, his deep voice thick with sleep, "we're never going to get out of this bed."I giggled as his dark eyes blinked open, a lazy, gorgeous smile spreading across his lips."Good morning, handsome," I whispered, leaning in

  • Dear EX   Chapter 8: Serving my ex-boyfriend and his proposed fiancée

    Nina's POV"Oh! Of course, Mr. Blake," Marco bowed, beaming at Roman like he was royalty. "Nina is one of our absolute best servers. She will take wonderful care of you."I wanted the marble floor to split open and swallow me whole. My knuckles turned stark white around the glass water pitcher as I forced my legs to move toward Table 4."Good evening," I said, my voice barely above a whisper as I kept my eyes glued to the white tablecloth. "Welcome to Aura."Julianna was staring at me, her brow furrowing slightly as I poured sparkling water into her glass. Then, her big blue eyes suddenly lit up."Wait a second," Julianna gasped, clapping her hands together. "Nina? Is that you?"I froze, the heavy glass pitcher tilting dangerously in my hand. "Um... hi, Julianna.""Oh my gosh!" Julianna squealed softly, leaning across the table. "Roman, look! It’s Nina! Amelia’s sister!"Roman didn't look surprised at all. He sat back in his leather chair, crossing one long leg over the other, his dar

  • Dear EX    Chapter 7: Roman came in for dinner with Julianna in the restaurant where I work  

    Nina's POV"There’s no secret, Damien," Roman said instantly, his voice dropping into that smooth, cold tone he used like a shield. He didn't even flinch. He just pulled his hand off the stone railing and stepped back, looking at his brother like Damien was an annoying bug. "Your wife’s sister was just giving me a speech about how arrogant I am."Damien took another slow sip of his whiskey, his sharp eyes flicking between the two of us. "Is that so?""Yes, that's so!" I blurted out, my chest pounding so hard I thought my ribs would snap. I crossed my arms tightly over my chest, squeezing my eyes into a glare. "He thinks because he’s a Blake, he can talk down to people. I was just telling him to stay out of my way.""She has quite the mouth on her," Roman sneered, playing right into the cover story. He smoothed down his lapels, looking down his nose at me. "Unpolished. Unfiltered. Unbelievable.""She's my wife's family, Roman," Damien said softly, stepping between us. He placed a gentl
