Troy

Outside, the temperature had dropped further. Fiona immediately wrapped her arms around herself, shivering.

"Two blocks that way," I said, pointing.

She took three steps, wobbling on her heels, before stopping. "I can't. My feet are killing me."

"Are you serious right now?"

"These shoes weren't made for walking, Troy. They were made for standing around looking pretty at parties where everything you need is brought to you on silver trays."

I couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or just brutally honest. Either way, it was probably the most self-aware thing she'd said all night.

"Fine. Take them off and I'll carry you again."

    Troy“Does Maya know?”The question hung in the air between us, simple but loaded with implications I wasn't ready to unpack. It wasn't a strange question, objectively. But coming from Fiona, with everything she'd just confessed, it felt like she was probing for something specific. Testing the boundaries of what I was willing to admit.I started walking again, buying myself time to think. The bodega's neon sign flickered ahead, casting uneven shadows on the empty sidewalk."No," I said finally. "She doesn't."The answer felt inadequate, but it was the truth. Maya had no idea about our connection, and I'd worked hard to keep it that way.My mind drifted back to that day when Victor finally told me everything. I'd been sitting in his study, surrounded by all that expensive furniture and artwork, feeling like I was in a museum instead of someone's home."Your mother wants to see you," he'd said, not bothering with small talk. Victor had never been one for gentle approaches.I'd almost l

  • Divorced My CEO Husband, He Came Begging   No Food in 24 Hours Diner

    TroyThe diner looked different up close—older, grimier, with that particular smell unique to places that never close: burnt coffee, industrial cleaner, and decades of grease embedded in every surface. Through the windows, I could see a handful of night owls scattered among the booths, most hunched over phones or laptops.Fiona struggled with her shoes, trying to balance on one foot while sliding the other into a stiletto. She wobbled dangerously."Just—hold on to my arm," I said, offering it reluctantly.She hesitated only a moment before grabbing me, her fingers digging into my bicep harder than necessary. Once she'd managed to get both shoes on, we headed inside, the bell above the door announcing our arrival with a cheerful jingle that felt out of place at nearly 4 AM.

    Troy"I'm hungry."I looked at Fiona sprawled across my couch, hair a mess, makeup smudged, dress wrinkled beyond salvation. The Kingston heiress reduced to this—a drunk, disheveled mess in my living room."Of course you are," I said, not bothering to hide my irritation.She stared at me with those unfocused eyes, waiting for me to solve this problem like I'd solved all her others tonight. Saving her from Jackson. Getting her out of the club. Bringing her somewhere safe. Now I was supposed to feed her too."Can you even stand?" I asked.She pushed herself up, swaying slightly but managing to stay upright. "See? Fine.""Congratulations. You've mastered

    Fiona"Will you fuck me?"Troy looked at me for a long moment, his expression shifting from surprise to something like pity. "You're high.""And?""And no, I'm not going to fuck you." His voice was flat. "I don't like you enough to afford you that luxury."I snorted. "Do you like me a little?""I don't like you even in the slightest." He looked away, jaw tightening. "I can't like someone who's mean to my best friend."That made me laugh, the sound sharp and brittle in the quiet street. "Best friend? My sister is your best friend?"Troy's eyes flashed with frustration.

    FionaTo be broken is to be sad.I blinked, trying to bring the world back into focus. The harsh fluorescent light of the bathroom made everything too sharp, too real. I turned to face the figure in the doorway, my vision swimming.Troy. Of course it was Troy.He stood there, hands in his pockets, expression unreadable. The contrast between his crisp button-down and the grungy bathroom was almost comical."Why are you everywhere?" The words came out slurred from my mouth.Behind me, Jackson straightened, tugging his pants back up. "Who the fuck are you?"Troy didn't even look at him. His eyes remained fixed on me, something like disgust flickering across hi
