(Calvin)Maybe inviting Audrey to my office was a dick move. She didn't even bat an eyelid before showing up at my doorstep this morning.Even though I know that getting involved with Audrey is a terrible idea, I— I just had to do it, because if I want to get Rihanna out of my system, then this is the only way out.I could use Audrey as a distraction while I get through this emotions that is starting to overwhelm me.Of course, trust Audrey to be a little extra, she was swooning all over me, an attention I had denied her all these while was showered on her in an instant.I had to keep up with the pretense, somehow.On getting to Cleins, Audrey lined up beside me, snaking her arms around mine, I let her.I needed to act like we were some sort of loving couples who could barely keep their eyes off each other.With my mind occupied with work, and having Audrey around, it'll be easier to quell my attraction to Rihanna and make me think less about her.I could see the expression on Rihanna
(Ethan)“Is there a reason why you've been following me?” I seethe, flinging the photos at the table in front of Natasha.I suspected I was been stalked a few weeks back, at first I didn't take it seriously, simply because it stopped abruptly.But, every day last week, it's been consistent. I spoke to Dean about it and he said we could use Arthur’s help.And to my surprise, the photos came in and it was Natasha. Photos captured at Ferns, at the restaurant where I had my meetings, at my company, like literally everywhere.Mind you, the last time I got her text, she had claimed she was out of the country and I didn't bother to reply to that text.I didn't need to, what we had was a no strings attached kinda relationship and I think it's time I let it go. I shouldn't have let this linger on for this long, never fucked a girl twice, but I crossed that line with Natasha, she reminded me so much about a night that's been stuck in my head for four whole years.At the time, I thought she was
(Calvin)“So what was it with that utterly weird question this morning?” Christian asks, bringing his glass down, as we sit at the VVIP room of his eldest brother's club.I noticed one thing though, his tone was a little serious and he doesn't look like he was about to tease me.I give him a look. “Really?” I lift my brows.“Let me guess, your mom suddenly developed cramps at 45, and that has you running around?” I know he's fishing.I let out a deep breath. “Fine, it was for — Rihanna,” I say and he doesn't even react. “She needed help, you don't expect that I leave her in pain, do you?” my voice comes out defiantly.“I haven't even said anything, Calvin.” Christian quips back.I clear my throat. “Well, I'm just trying to let you know that I'm not that big of an asshole,” I say, bringing my glass to my mouth.He nods. “Yeah, only where Rihanna Rodriguez is involved,” he observes.I flip him a bird.“What?” he narrows his eyes at me.“I know what you're implying but fuck you,” He lau
(Ivy)I didn't answer him then and I wasn't going to in the future. I had walked out on him, without a response.It's terrifying enough that Aria had mentioned him this morning and now it was him asking after her.Harm or no harm intended, I do not care, I just don't want him asking after my daughter.Even though Aria looks just like me, I can still see the uncanny resemblance with Ethan, it's there, up close.And that's all the more reason why I need him as far away as possible.I had shielded Aria away from him for four years and I intend to do that for as long as I can, all her life. I was all she needed, not some jerk who clearly can't remember the number of women he had slept with. He's no father material and there's no way in hell I'm letting him close to my child.I left Ferns, making a mental note to find a good ice cream spot and take Aria myself, that way she wouldn't have to need him for anything.Call it selfish, but this is me wanting to raise my child, alone, like I've a
(Ivy)“Mommy?” Aria calls as I guide her to the car.“Yes baby,” I answered, turning my eyes to smile at her.“Can I have ice cream?,” she pouts. “I promise not to take too much,”“Baby, you've been purging for a while now,” I reminded her, ruffling her hair gently. She gives me that pouty mouth and crinkled her eyes. “Please?”I look at her face and I couldn't say no. I let out a breath and say. “Fine, little it is then. But,” I give her a look. “You're getting the smallest cup, I don't want you purging again,”A smile spreads across her face. “Thank you mommy!,” she squeals, wrapping her tiny hands around my waist.I nod, caressing her cheeks. “Nanna Mary will take you to get it after school,” the smile on her face is gone as I say this.“But Nanna Mary doesn't know where to get it, Ethan does,” she whines.If anything could knock my breath off, this was it. I push a deep breath down my lungs and force a smile. “I'm sure Nanna Mary will find a spot just as good as Ethan's,” I say, t
(Calvin)I dialed Derrick’s number the second I stepped out of Rihanna's apartment, it rings once, twice and he didn't pick up.I finally gave up after trying one more time. I run a hand through my hair, exasperated.Without thinking, I dialed Christian’s number and he picked up at first ring.“Hey man,” he answered.I cut straight to the heart of the matter. “Uhh, so, a quick one.” I breathed out before I can stop myself. “Do you know anything that helps lady's with their cramps?” I ask him in a low voice, surprised at myself.There's was a brief pause, followed by a laugh that immediately has me regretting why I called him in the first place. “Wait, what?” He strained through his teeth.I bite my lips and blurt out. “I'm asking for Diane, she— she has a terrible cramp,” I say defiantly.“Liar,” he retorts, he doesn't believe me, that was a terrible lie, I didn't even believe myself. “Diane is not back until month end,” he quips back.I know Christian has figured me out, it's pointles
