Lily’s POV

The drive home was fast and dreadful. My heart thumped heavily in my chest, and my fingers picked at the skin around my nails, the one habit that never left me whenever my anxiety kicked in.

I rubbed my stomach slowly. Things had started becoming clearer, harder to ignore, opening my eyes to the old saying that nothing stays hidden under the sun forever, and to the reality that I was actually pregnant, something I still forgot from time to time, mostly remembering only when I reached

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   A PIECE OF TRASH

    Adrian’s POVTen years ago..The mansion’s sitting room was oozing with cigar smoke and the sound of ice cracking against crystal, everyone’s voices layered over each other in that easy, unbothered way rich men talked when they weren’t trying to impress anyone but each other. Someone had just finished a story about a deal gone wrong in Geneva, and the room erupted into laughter loud enough that I laughed along too, even though I’d missed half the details.I sat near the edge of the circle, my glass mostly untouched, watching the way the men around me moved through the room like they owned every square foot of it, which, in a sense, most of them did. I was still new to all of this. New to rooms like this one, new to the kind of money that filled them, new to the casual way these men talked about numbers that would have taken me a decade to earn.The man’s house always felt like this. Loud, warm, full of people who mattered, and me somewhere at the edges of it, grateful just to be inclu

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   I DIDN’T KILL HIM

    Adrian’s POVWhile Damian was busy delaying taking Lily to the hospital, I called my company doctor, Dr. Evans, who lived close by in Lily's estate.“She's currently at the stage where she needs thorough rest, Adrian. She only passed out due to stress and overstimulation. But at least the baby is still in good condition,” Dr. Evans said, putting his stethoscope into his briefcase. He turned to face me. “I'll be on my way now. If you need anything else, let me know.”I raised a brow, totally confused by the situation. He was supposed to tell me her situation. That was pregnant, at least. Before mentioning to me the duration.. if necessary. “Excuse me, Doctor,” I said, stopping him mid-step.“Did you already know she was pregnant?”He hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. “I'm afraid I can't answer that.”I ran my fingers through my hair, sighing. The response he'd just given already told me everything I needed to know. He knew. I was the only one who'd been kept in the dark

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   A PROMISE I MADE

    Adrian’s POVflashback..The garden behind Gary's house always smelled faintly of jasmine in the evenings, something his wife had planted years before along the back fence, and by the time the sun started dipping low enough to turn everything yellow, the whole yard would carry that scent through the air like it belonged there as much as the grass did.We sat where we always sat, two chairs pulled close to the small stone table near the edge of the patio, a bottle of scotch between us that neither of us had bothered pouring properly into glasses for the last hour. Gary had his sleeves rolled up, his tie long discarded somewhere inside the house, and he looked the way he only ever looked out here, loose, unguarded, nothing like the man who ran board meetings with a voice deep enough to find its way through any argument."You're overthinking the Milan deal," I told him, swirling what was left in my glass. "The numbers work. You just don't trust anything that comes together this easily."

    Lily’s POVThe drive home was fast and dreadful. My heart thumped heavily in my chest, and my fingers picked at the skin around my nails, the one habit that never left me whenever my anxiety kicked in.I rubbed my stomach slowly. Things had started becoming clearer, harder to ignore, opening my eyes to the old saying that nothing stays hidden under the sun forever, and to the reality that I was actually pregnant, something I still forgot from time to time, mostly remembering only when I reached for a drink out of habit and had to stop myself.I sighed wearily.It wasn't like I hadn't prepared myself for a day like this. I had. I just hadn't expected it to come so soon. I'd assumed either man would find out closer to the end, maybe when I was too far along to hide it anymore. But underneath all of that sat something else that bothered me even more: the actual paternity of the child I was carrying.I still didn't know whose child this was, and I didn't think there was a real way to find

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   AN OLD DEBT

    Mason’s POV📍ITALYThe evening had settled into that particular kind of quiet I’d come to love about this house, the one that only showed up once the staff had gone home and the sound of the city outside had faded into something distant and forgettable. My study faced the garden, and through the tall windows I could see the last of the light catching the olive trees my late wife had insisted on planting years ago, back when this place was still new to both of us. I never had the heart to take them out, even after everything.I sat behind my desk with a glass of red wine I hadn’t touched in a while, my laptop open in front of me, working through a report from one of the smaller vineyards I’d taken an interest in over the past year. It wasn’t glamorous work, nothing like the perfume houses or the fashion investments that had made my name decades ago, but there was something calming about numbers that behaved themselves, about soil reports and rainfall averages and the simple, honest ma

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   WHAT HE WARNED ME ABOUT

    Adrian’s POVThe drive home felt longer than it should have, my mind circling back again and again to the way Lily had acted in my office earlier that day. Something about her had felt off, though I couldn't put a name to it. She'd been too composed in the moments that should have rattled anyone else, calm in a way that felt almost rehearsed, and then oddly reactive in places that made no real sense given everything else. She'd handed me a way out of losing the farmland and then, within the same conversation, seemed to take some quiet satisfaction in watching me squirm over the price of it. I couldn't explain the shift between the two. I only knew it sat wrong with me, the way a wrong note sits wrong in a song you've heard a hundred times before and know by heart.I told myself I was overthinking it. That stress could make anyone act strange, and Lily had more than her fair share of it lately, working under a boss whose company was bleeding money in public, whose name kept surfacing n

  • 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

It contained detailed information about Adrian’s whereab

    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
