Lily’s POV

I sat on the edge of my bed, still in my robe, staring at nothing in particular. I was supposed to be getting ready for work. My clothes were already laid out, my heels by the door, everything in place except me.

Damian had moved in.

I kept turning the thought over like it might feel different the tenth time than it did the first. It made sense on paper. We were official now, and Adrian already knew it, so hiding behind separate addresses would only look strange to anyone paying att

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   Setting The Mood Right

    Damian’s POV I spent most of the afternoon unpacking and fixing the room in such a way that could tell that two people who were couples lived here now. Thankfully, it was a very big room that could contain both of us. It felt strange doing something like this with my own hands instead of having someone else handle it, but I wanted this one to be mine. No staff, no instructions passed down to someone else to execute. It was just me, figuring out how she liked her tea, what herbs actually smelled good together, whether petals scattered across a table looked romantic or just messy.I settled on red. It felt right.I checked the time more than I needed to. She'd texted earlier that she was running late, nothing more than that, and I told myself it was work, a meeting running over, something ordinary. But some part of me kept circling back to some old worry, the one I never said out loud. That she was somewhere with him. Adrian.I hadn’t ever thought about Kathryna having something to do

    Lily’s POV I sat on the edge of my bed, still in my robe, staring at nothing in particular. I was supposed to be getting ready for work. My clothes were already laid out, my heels by the door, everything in place except me.Damian had moved in.I kept turning the thought over like it might feel different the tenth time than it did the first. It made sense on paper. We were official now, and Adrian already knew it, so hiding behind separate addresses would only look strange to anyone paying attention, and even blow my cover about this mansion. But knowing it made sense didn’t stop the tightness sitting in my chest. This house had been mine. My pace, my silence, my space to fall apart in when I needed to and pretend otherwise the rest of the time. Now every hallway had another person moving through it.A knock came at the door, pulling me out of my head.“Come in,” I said, straightening up.Charles stepped inside, a folder tucked under his arm. “Sorry to disturb you, ma’am. I wanted to

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   Smoke

    Adrian’s POV FLASHBACK…dated January 8th, 2020“Is everything ready tonight?” I questioned.The guy on the other end of the phone answered. “Yes, sir.”“Good.” I nodded, even though he couldn’t see me. “You move in with your boys immediately after the trigger is pulled.”“Yes, sir.”I gritted my teeth, tapping the cigarette between my fingers against the ashtray on the table beside me, my eyes narrowed on the skyscraper a few kilometers away from where I stood.“I want no mistakes tonight,” I said, and hung up.Years of friendship and partnership were about to end tonight, and I felt no remorse. He’d brought this on himself. He should have known better than to try to play smart with me. I had gone out of my way to make sure every business deal we pulled through actually pulled through, while he sat back and watched, playing the role of a godfather who did nothing but take credit. He had never once treated me as an equal, even though I had more experience and more sense than he did.

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   Held Back

    Lily’s POV I never knew facing Adrian at work would be this nerve-wracking. Fuck, I had done a lot of work holding myself together today, keeping myself under control without blowing my cover.I had planned to make that meeting go against him. And still, my heart skipped a beat the second he walked into the boardroom, ruining every plan I’d made before I’d even opened my mouth. It was getting harder to tell where the mission ended and the wanting began.I wasn’t here for fun. I had to keep reminding myself of that lately, more than I used to. I had tons of men at my feet back in the States as a self-made twenty-two-year-old billionaire whom I could have chosen from if it ever had anything to do with fun.I scoffed as I threw a few work things into my bag, getting ready to leave for the day. It was 4:30 pm, the longest I had ever stayed in his proximity. I usually hated spending this much time here, especially with him always in sight, intentionally and unintentionally trying to get m

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   Trapped

    Adrian’s POV But before I could properly stand and get to her, Wilson already grabbed her by her waist, helping her up.My fingers curled into fists, as I narrowed my eyes at him.“Ms. Nolan, you were the one who brought CMG to the table in the first place. Can you walk us through how the original terms were agreed upon, and whether you had any indication this change was coming?”Lily didn’t flinch. There was absolutely no trace of someone who had almost broken her back a few minutes ago. She set her pen down like she’d been expecting the question the entire meeting. “The original terms were eight months, five percent interest, standard for a deal of this size. I negotiated that personally with their team before it ever reached this table. I wasn’t given any advance notice about the change to three months. I found out the same way the rest of you did.”“And you have no relationship with anyone at CMG that might explain this?” Hayward asked, his tone edging toward accusation.“None be

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   No Reaction

    Adrian’s POV I woke up before the alarm went off, and for a moment I just lay there staring at the ceiling. My body felt heavy in a way sleep is supposed to fix and hadn’t. My jaw was still sore. I pressed two fingers against it, testing it the way you test a bruise you already know is there, and then I got up before I could think about it any longer.I skipped the gym, which never happens. But this morning I didn’t have it in me to pretend I could focus on anything physical when my head was already this loud.My chef, Tessa, was in the kitchen when I came down, plating eggs and toast with coffee, the way she did most mornings. She looked up and must have seen something on my face, because she paused with the pan still in her hand.“You didn’t sleep well,” she remarked. It wasn’t a question. She had a habit of speaking to me more casually than every other domestic staff in my house, probably because she was just two years younger than me and of course, had made a move on me in the pa

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   Aftermath

    Lily’s POVI woke up to beeping sounds I could not make out. My eyes felt too heavy to open all at once, but I forced them apart slowly and looked around. Strange faces I had never seen moved to and fro at every corner of the room. The air smelled of antiseptic and medicine. That smell gave me a sm

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   A FORBIDDEN TRIANGLE

    Lily’s POV“You missed work today, ma’am?” Charles asked as he shut the door behind him. He walked into my room, holding the file I had requested earlier.“I called in sick,” I replied, grabbing the file from his hands and opening it quickly. It contained detailed information about Adrian’s whereab

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   DAMIAN’S RETURN

    Lily’s POVI was walking down the company’s lobby, heading toward the logistics department, when I stumbled upon a chaotic scene. People were scattered everywhere. Some stood with their phones raised, recording, while others whispered quickly, passing gossip like it was fresh bread from the oven.

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   The Enemy’s Pull

    Lily’s POV“Sir…” I whispered, but he didn’t let me finish. His lips crashed against mine again, harder this time, and his hands slid under my dress. My back hit the cold wall of the stall, and I shivered from the way he was touching me.He spun me around and bent me over, my palms landing on the w
