LOGIN**“— One year! A damn year being your wife without ever being anything to you! — I spat the words, holding back my tears with clenched teeth. — And now you think you can just… keep existing in my life? Ace looked at me with that calmness of someone who had always won without needing to fight. But this time, it wouldn’t be like that. — I never stopped you from leaving, Luna. You’re the one who kept waiting for something I never promised. — I stayed because I thought that… maybe you would see me. That at some point I’d stop being just your obligation. But it doesn’t matter anymore, I’m finally managing to forget you. He stepped closer until his warmth brushed against my body. — Then why do you still tremble when I come near? — Because you scare me… — I whispered weakly. — Is that it? Is that really it? Or is it because you know that if I touched you even once… — his voice dropped lower, hot and provoking — …you’d never be able to walk away again.” Luna Bexter had loved Ace Montesino for a long time. She thought she was lucky to become his wife in a marriage of convenience, but after the one-year term ended, Luna grew tired of waiting for Ace’s feelings to change and decided to leave. Is it truly possible for them to go their separate ways?**
View MoreJOSHUAWe’ve been sitting on this bus for two hours now and I’m starting to get impatient. It’s 4:30 p.m. and the sun is going to set in about ten minutes. Apparently that fact plays an important role in our destination. Daniela hasn’t given me any other hint about where we’re going besides that.We haven’t talked much during the ride—just shared earbuds and listened to music while I watch Daniela’s reflection in the window as she reads the book she brought.— We’re here. — she says excitedly, closing her book and putting it away in her bag.— Finally. — I reply, pausing the music and taking out the earbud before putting it away and stepping off the bus.It’s cold outside and the wind feels stronger today. Good thing Daniela and I are bundled up in our jackets, gloves, and masks. I stretch my back and legs to wake my body up after sitting for so long.— We’re here?I look around—exposed brick buildings, small restaurants, and hardly anyone walking by, but nothing really stands out. I’
JOSHUA— So, what’s really going on with you, Freddie? — I ask.We’re all sitting side by side on the floor of my room, backs against the bed.I’d already talked to Anthony beforehand about bringing it up with Freddie after what happened yesterday, but in the first hour he was here we couldn’t find the right moment or the right words, so I decided to just cut to the chase.— This is about yesterday, isn’t it? — he asks, not even bothering to play dumb.— Yeah. What’s actually going on between you and Logan? — Anthony asks.— Nothing’s going on. We just… — He looks stressed and can’t even finish a sentence.— Is our question making you that uncomfortable? — I ask, honestly not expecting this kind of reaction from him.— Can you guys promise you won’t change the way you act around me if I tell you? — He sits up straighter and grabs a decorative pillow from the bed, hugging it to his lap.— Why would we change? Unless you murdered someone, I don’t see any reason we’d start treating you d
JOSHUAI shift uncomfortably on the soft beige couch, feeling out of place at Priscila’s birthday party.I was surprised, to say the least, when Daniela told me that Priscila wanted me and the guys to be here. Don’t get me wrong—Daniela’s friends are cool and… well, most of them are fine—but I don’t really consider them my friends.Besides Daniela, the only other person here I could actually see myself being friends with is Logan. The rest are nice company, but that’s about it. For example, I can’t imagine randomly texting Luna to grab coffee and have a deep conversation.Personality-wise, I don’t really click with any of them. Priscila, Luna, Kayro, and even Ryan are all way more open, loud, and extroverted than I am. I’m much quieter, I don’t like going to big parties or clubs, and I don’t talk much.So I have no idea why Priscila invited me, Freddie, and Anthony. Maybe she sees us as friends, or maybe she just enjoys our company. The only reason I’m here is because I didn’t want to
JOSHUAThe soft coconut scent enveloping my senses keeps me calm.I don’t know how long I’ve been lying here, awake, thinking about everything. I didn’t bother checking the time when I woke up. The lack of windows in this room also makes it harder for me to tell what time it is.I keep running my fingers through Daniela’s soft strands of hair while I lie awake beside her. This couch isn’t the most comfortable place to sleep, but strangely enough, I had one of the best nights of sleep in my life. I didn’t wake up once during the night, and I didn’t have any nightmares either. Actually, I didn’t dream about anything at all—and that’s exactly how I prefer it.At first, I was nervous about sharing sleeping space with Daniela, and part of me thought she might feel the same way, which is why I offered to go to another room. But deep down I knew that if I did, I wouldn’t be able to sleep. I’d probably stay up all night, tossing and turning in every possible position, trying to get comfortabl
