I love my job. I realise that every few people get to actually say that and mean it, but I do. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as doing something you love for a living, and knowing that you’re actually good at it. Social media was never my thing, and I hated the idea of people being influencer
“No, you’re good,” I said. “I just had a lot on my mind that day. Sorry for running out on you like that.”“Apology not accepted,” he said. “Why don’t you make up for it by letting me take you out for a cup of coffee or something?”I took a step back awkwardly, clutching my purse tighter and looking
MARCUSPeople could be so ungrateful. After everything I’d done for Reynard Tech., after devoting my entire life to making that company a success and building good relationships with every single employee, they still turned around and stabbed me in the back as soon as they found out how bad things
The result of that extravagant wedding was that Reynard Tech went into a downward spiral, crippling the company and causing stocks to crash. At the time, I thought it would be worth it. But now, looking back on everything, marrying Emily might just have killed the company. But it would be worth it
“So, how long are we going to be in Paris for?” Rachel asked, practically bouncing in her seat.“A week at most,” I replied. “Anything more than that, and I’ll be paying out of my pocket.”We were sitting in a secluded booth at an Italian restaurant, having the most amazing pasta I’d tasted in years
“No, don’t worry about it,” he said. “It’s my fault. I should have waited until tomorrow morning before calling you. But I just couldn’t help myself. I’ve been sitting here for thirty minutes now, trying to convince myself not to call you. But I couldn’t do it. I just needed to hear your voice.”“Ch
But I didn’t care about her. I was staring instead at the man, who never took his eyes off her. There was a sadness to his eyes that I’d never seen before, and he looked like he wasn’t enjoying this at all. I wouldn’t have thought anything of it, except for the fact that it was my ex-husband. I co
I was running in the middle of the street, desperately trying to get away from something that was chasing me in the dark. I could hear its growls, and feel its sickening breath on my neck. But no matter how fast I tried to run, the shadow kept getting closer and closer. “You’re mine,” a cold voice
Everything was falling apart, and I couldn’t do anything to stop it. My job was hanging on by a thread, and my sanity was slowly evaporating from the weight of all the secrets I couldn't share. It just felt so exhausting, and I curled up into a ball and stared blankly at the ceiling. I didnt know ho
"Please tell me this is just a dream, Olivia," Joanna said over the phone. “Or some fucking nightmare that I can wake up from.”I took a deep breath and pressed the phone tighter against my ear as I paced through the bedroom, trying so hard not to yell at her. "I'm not going to apologize for what I
Nate strolled into the office casually, and I watched his reflection through the glass as he paused to look at me for a second. It made my skin crawl when I noticed his gaze sweep down to my butt, and that anger fueled me enough to turn and face him properly. I glared directly at him, while he smirk
Ever since I got to my offices, I couldn’t stop staring at the digital clock on my desk. I checked it again for the thousandth time, feeling a sliver of nervousness as I saw that it was still 10:42 AM.Nate will be here in eighteen minutes.I folded my hands together to stop them from shaking. I was
For a moment, I stared at Richard like he'd grown a second head. We sat there in silence, staring at each other as I tried to wrap my head around what he'd just said. Surely it had to be a lie. Because how on earth could he be serious right now?"You're quiet," he said. "I just... I don't know what
I stood up slowly, brushing my hands against my leggings and heading down the long corridor. I needed to go back and apologize. I needed to look him in the eye and tell him the truth about Nate. I needed to let him hold me and remind me that I was still safe.But just as I turned to head back toward
For a long time after I left the office, I still couldn’t believe what happened. Even as I sat down at our new dining table and silently poked at my steak, it did nothing to stop the wave of nausea that was raging in my stomach. Ethan was talking beside me, but I was barely paying him any attention
I still couldn’t believe that Ethan had bought the mansion just like that. He made it seem like it was a pair of shoes or a painting he liked. It all happened so fast, and I just couldn’t believe it. The first week was entirely chaotic. We spent our evenings shopping for furniture, arguing about th
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 o
