“Remind me again how the kiss felt,” Rachel said.

“Come on,” I laughed. “I’ve told you about it a thousand times already.”

“I still want to hear it again,” she said. “Now spill.”

We were seated at the cafe across from the office for lunch, and she was staring at me like a wide-eyed teenager who just wanted to talk about boys and love.

“Rach, are you alright?” I asked cautiously.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean why do you seem so invested in this?” I explained. “Normally you would be the one to tell me that this is nothing to get hung up on, and it’s just a kiss. So how come you’re so surprised and you want to keep talking about it?”

For a moment, it looked like she wasn’t going to say anything. She leaned back into her seat, eyes vacant as she stared off into the distance and twirled her finger around her the rim of her coffee cup. Finally, she turned to face me and said, “I’m lonely.”

Hearing her say that in such a timid voice broke my heart into a million pieces. I reached out and too

    ETHANGrowing up, Marcus and I had a sort of sixth sense where we could always detect when the other person was in the building even without us seeing them. As soon as he walked into a building, I could somehow tell that he was around. And I would immediately turn in the direction he was about to walk in from. But that was a lifetime ago. Now, I didn't feel anything as I sat in the restaurant and waited for him to walk in. I was gently tapping my fingers on the table, planning what I was going to say in hopes that it would be enough to sway him. I'd gone through a thousand different possibilities of how this conversation could play out, and yet each time I wasn't so sure how well it would go. The door suddenly swung open, and I looked up to find Marcus striding towards me nonchalantly. He looked awful, it actually took me a few seconds before I realised it was him. His beard looked disheveled and unkempt, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He wore a large black hoodie, and

    Convincing Rachel to come with me was a huge task after the conversation we had earlier. But when I finally managed to convince her, she just wouldn’t stop asking so many questions about the guy she was going to meet. “Is he tall?” she asked as we sat in the back of our Uber. “I don’t know.”“I hope he’s tall. Is he handsome?”“I guess we’ll find out.”“Does he have nice teeth?” “I think so.”“I just hope he’s not a buff gym bro who’s only going to talk about his latest workouts. Please tell me he’s at least smart.”“Rach, I’m as clueless as you are,” I said. “I honestly don’t know anything apart from what Ethan told me. He said they’re going to meet us at the restaurant, and that his name is Blake. That’s all I know.”“Blake,” she whispered to herself, leaning back and smiling to herself. “Nice name. He sounds like a great guy who works on Wall Street.”“We’ll see about that,” I said, readjusting my hair. For some reason, I felt extremely nervous about seeing Ethan again. Maybe it

    I wouldn’t consider myself a daring person. I have never been one to do something so spontaneous and out of the ordinary. I’m not a rule breaker. But there was something so unbelievably hot about being in the bathroom with Ethan, with my arms around his shoulders and my legs wrapped around his waist as he kissed me like his life depended on it. It was so hot, and so breathtaking that all I wanted to do was melt into his arms. Ethan kissed me with so much passion that I felt it down in my gut, and in places I hadn’t felt anything in a long time. I felt it in the way his fingers moved through my hair, sending shivers of pleasure down my spine. I felt it in the way his tongue invaded my mouth, and the tingling sensation all over my lips as he kissed me. When we finally pulled apart, we were both gasping for air, and he was grinning like a kid in a candy store as he held me up against the wall and began to kiss my neck. “Ethan—” I gasped, unable to think properly as his hands firmly g

    When I was a little girl, my dad used to take me out for walks every Sunday evening around the block. He would place me on his shoulders and we would walk around as many times as he could manage, talking about my weekly tea parties and the latest episode of The Looney Tunes. It was our daily father-daughter ritual, and I always looked forward to it because it was the one time I got to be myself around him, and have his full, undivided attention on me. Yet that seemed like a lifetime ago, especially after the hell I’d been through. And it all started on a random Sunday morning when I got a message from the front desk that someone was here to see me. I thought it was Ethan, so I told him to come up. But when I opened the door and saw my father standing in front of me, I froze instantly. He hadn’t changed that much, but there were still a few signs that he was getting older. His temples were grayer than I remembered, and his eyes were a little bit more sunken in than usual. He looked l

    ETHANI know I can be a cynic sometimes. I don’t try to do it on purpose, but it just happens. Even when I’m not trying to think about the worst things that could possibly happen, I find myself going through them like a list sometimes, wondering how everything could get destroyed. With Liv, I tried so hard not to dwell on these thoughts. Things were going great after all. We talked every single day, and we saw each other almost as frequently. Every spare moment I could manage was spent with her, and I loved it that way. We would go for walks in Central Park, or I’d swing by her office at lunch and we would just sit together and talk. Being with her made me feel happy. It pushed all the demons in my head away and made me feel whole again. I wasn’t about to give that up for anything. But a single thought lingered in my head, making me question if this was actually going to work out. I knew I liked her, and I knew I was slowly falling for her. But that interaction with her father had f

    “Holy shit! You look like a princess!”I couldn’t stop giggling like a lunatic as I twirled around the living room, showing off the dress. I felt so pretty, and it was such a nice feeling to unwind after such a hectic day. Rachel and I didn’t leave the office until it started to get dark. Normally I would have gotten back, taken a very cold shower and curled up in the nicest duvet until sunrise the next day. But then we got back and found the dress Ethan has sent, and I couldn’t stop smiling. Just looking at it made my stomach explode with butterflies. I kept imagining what he must have been thinking about when he decided to get it, knowing that I was going to wear it. The thought of that only broadened my grin. “Do you think it’s appropriate for the gala?” I asked. “Honey, it’s more than appropriate,” she said. “You look stunning.”“You too,” I replied, and we stared at our reflections in the mirror by the door. Rachel’s dress was black as well, except the neckline was way deeper

    I don't remember how long I stood there, staring at Marcus in disbelief while a wave of shock washed over me. I felt like someone was playing some sort of sick joke on me, and I didn't find it funny at all. My gaze shifted back to Ethan who had taken off his mask and was staring down at us in disbelief. Marcus, meanwhile, look thoroughly pleased with himself. He looked like he could start levitating at any moment, and the triumphant look on his face was sickening. I wanted to punch him right in the face, or wrap my fingers around his neck and squeeze the life out of him. I wanted to make him suffer, and have him beg for my forgiveness. Instead, I ran up towards Ethan, who was still frozen like a statue. "Ethan," I gasped, finally reaching him and taking his hands in mine. "It's not what you think. I promise you it isn't. I saw the mask and I thought it was you. I promise you I wasn't trying to kiss him. I thought...""I know," he said quietly, causing me to stop mid-sentence. "Wha

    ETHANI’m not much of a drinker. In truth, I despise alcohol. But there are few moments in a man’s life where the only thing that can make him feel whole again is the cold sting of vodka sliding down the back of his throat. After my fifteenth shot, I felt slightly easier and the knot in my chest loosened a little bit. Maybe it was truly the alcohol doing its work. Or maybe my body just realised that if I kept dwelling on things, I was going to have a heart attack. I shouldn’t have asked her to leave. I regretted it the moment I did. But I just couldn’t bear the thought of looking at her and knowing the truth about her and Marcus. It was the worst betrayal I’d ever experienced, and the most painful part was the fact that this wasn’t the first time I was experiencing something like this. I downed another shot and squeezed my eyes shut at the burn, as I forced the image of Veronica out of my mind. Thankfully the vodka helped a little bit, though it didn’t completely wipe her out of m

    MARCUSI didn't want to do it initially. He didn't deserve a quick death, after all. But sometimes, when someone pisses you off too much, you just have to take care of things. And when you find out that the bastard who tried to harm the woman you love was only going to a mental institution instead of the jail he deserved, you just have to take care of things yourself. I stood on the balcony and stared down at the city sparkling beneath me while a cold breeze swept past. The sun had already set, but Manhattan was still as loud as ever, with horns blaring down below, people yelling constantly , and the wailing of a siren in the distance. No one would notice me up here, staring down at them and savoring my latest victory. I took a slow sip of my whiskey, letting the warmth roll down the back of my throat as I leaned on the cold steel railing. The evening was perfect, and I couldn’t have been happier after getting the call. Chris was dead, just like I intended. The report said he’d be

    From the moment we pulled up in front of the mansion, my mouth fell open and it stayed like that permanently. The house looked like something out of a movie. It was so huge, and my eyes nearly rolled back into my skull as we walked in. There was a grand staircase which swept upward like it belonged in a castle, and sunlight streamed in through the large windows which made everything look so bright and golden."You've got to be kidding me," I whispered, taking in the beauty of the house. "This is actually insane.""Wait til you see the kitchen," Ethan said as he walked up behind me and took my hand in his. "You could set up a football game in it"When we walked into the kitchen, I knew he wasn't exaggerating. There were two kitchen islands which were so far apart that you probably couldn't even smell what someone was cooking from across the kitchen. There were so many shelves and drawers that it looked more like a convenience store than a home kitchen. Every room we walked into fel

    Ethan was discharged the very next day, and I took him back to my apartment. Rachel had traveled down to Miami for a conference, so it was just the two of us in the house. After he’d taken a shower and eaten the lunch I prepared, he immediately sat down to call a real estate agent. “Is that really necessary?” I asked as I packed up the plates from the dining table. “Shouldn’t you be getting some rest?”“I’ll rest once we have our new home,” he said. “Buying a house usually takes a very long time to process, and I don’t have the time nor the patience to wait too long. The sooner we get started, the quicker we can be done with this.”I left him to his phone call, while I washed up in the kitchen. I could hear him talking in a sharp tone, using his CEO voice where he made it obvious that things were going to go his way, no matter what. I could have sat down and stared at him for hours when he talked like that, but I had other things to do. Like calling Richard Jones and telling him wha

    I'd thought about seeing Marcus face to face again for a very long time now. I'd imagined standing across from him, looking dead into his eyes and showing him that I wasn't afraid of him anymore. I'd thought about how I was going to stand my ground, and not let him see the fear he'd once inflicted upon me. But standing right there in front of him, looking into those malicious eyes that had tormented me for years, I just couldn't do it. My knees began to shake, and I almost buckled to the ground in terror as the world fell away and it was just the two of us.And then he started to walk towards me. It took every bit of strength in me to not turn around and flee. I visibly shrank the closer he got, and a wave of panic washed over me as I realized that I had nowhere to go. If I turned and ran now, then I would be running for the rest of my life. And that was the last thing I wanted. So I stood my ground, stuck out my chin defiantly, and looked him dead in the eye. I took a deep breath

    For a while, I just sat there and stared at Nate. I couldn't process the fact that he was here, and as my brain slowly booted up again, I felt Ethan tense beside me. "Nate, what are you doing here?" I asked. "Offering my condolences," he said. "I heard about the accident, and I just knew I had to come here as soon as I returned."He was more tanned than the last time I'd seen him, and his hair was a little bit longer. He looked like he'd come straight from the beach, in his plain white shirt and khaki pants. It was so different from the man in the tailored suit who strutted about like he owned the building. And yet, even now, there was an air of confidence about him as he stood in the middle of the room and stared at us. “Why the long faces?” he asked. “Did someone die?”“What the fuck are you doing here?” Ethan asked, attempting to stand up before I held him down. “I heard you were sick,” Nate said. “Oh, I mean shot. It’s all over the news. I just got back from Paris, so I though

    Ethan ended up taking longer than we expected to get discharged, and he ended up staying in the hospital for two weeks. During that time, he had to get a lot of therapy so he could move his left arm again, because some nerves had been damaged and they needed to heal properly. I stayed with him the entire time, only leaving to shower and get a new batch of clean clothes when I had to. But otherwise, we just sat together and talked. He wasn't in too much pain, so mostly we had enough time to just sit and talk about life. It was on the thirteenth day that we spoke about what he told me in the cabin. He didn't want to talk about it when I brought it up, but I managed to convince him that it was necessary. This was the only way to clear his conscience, so he could finally be free of the guilt that he had carried after all these years. "But what if we find out that I was the one who killed him?" he asked quietly, staring out the window. "What if it's confirmed that I'm a murderer?""I kn

    MARCUSI swear I could smell the pig even from outside the door. My blood was boiling even before I walked into the room, but it took a monumental effort to keep myself in check. I had to be quick. It shouldn't take longer than five minutes. Thankfully, the cop standing by the door didn't say anything as I walked in. He just gave me a polite nod, and he stepped aside as I walked in and shut the door behind me.Chris looked like a man who’d gotten into a cage fight with a gorilla. He was bruised all over, and several parts of his face were swollen, with one eye almost completely shut. His bottom lip was split open like a rotten fruit, and both of his hands were cuffed to the bedrails as if he was some sort of rabid animal. It was an amusing sight, which perfectly suited the bastard who’d tried to take Olivia from me. He shifted slightly when he saw me, then he flinched in terror. I saw the recognition in his bloodshot eyes, then confusion as he blinked several times, then something

    The first thing on my mind when I woke up was Ethan. I bolted out of bed instantly, and I had to grip the bed frame as I swayed and nearly toppled to the ground. I felt like my brain was trying to explode from my skull, and the ringing in my ear was constant. I had to sit down on the bed once again, and it took me a few seconds to regain my breath and take in my surroundings. The room was eerily quiet, so much so that I could only hear the low humming of the air conditioning. I shifted slightly on the stiff bed, and I cursed aloud as my joints aches from how long I'd been curled up. My mouth was incredibly dry, and my skin felt so clammy. Every inch of me felt like it was protesting the simple act of waking up, and it was like I hadn't slept at all.But the guilt cut through the fog. How long had I been out? What if Ethan had woken up already? And I was just sitting here like a ditz and worrying about something ridiculous like hunger. Slowly, I dragged myself to my feet and made m

    ETHANThe first thing I heard was the beeping. As I tried to open my eyes, a blinding pain shot up my entire body, and I almost couldn't breathe for a second. I felt like someone had smacked me in the face with a sledgehammer, and then gotten several bags of cement and laid them all over my body. I couldn't even lift a finger, and I could barely drag enough air into my lungs as I slowly forced my eyes open. I was lying in what appeared to be a hospital room, and the brightness of the room made my eyes throb. There were several wires and tubes all over my chest, and a large machine which was beeping to the side. The bed was so hard that I felt like I was lying on a wooden plank, and it somehow caused the pain to multiply a million times over. I tried to remember how I got here, but I couldn't. The last thing I remembered was being in the cabin with Liv, and beating the shit out of the guy who broke into our cabin. I didn't remember anything after that, except the relief I felt when
