-MATT-

Two weeks ago, I moved out of Sienna’s apartment, and I’ve been staying with Wolf and his partner Patrick ever since. Hank offered me to stay at his place, but I refused because of Michelle. She'd probably kick my ass if she saw me there. She can be really intimidating.

Well, I was only here at Wolf's physically because mentally I was in h.ell.

I was missing Sienna like crazy.

A few days ago I bought lychees to eat. Stupid lychees. A fruit that has no taste at all and does a lot of work to peel. Just because I was missing her smell.

Newsflash: it didn't work.

In the end, I ate all the overpriced fruit by myself.

When Wolf came by, I was sulking, sitting on the sofa in front of the TV.

“Hey, sunshine. Drinking beer during the playoffs? Nice move." He sat down next to me, but I kept watching the TV.

“F.uck off. It's my first bottle, and we don't have any game for the next three days.” I wanted to get drunk, I really did. But even the beer

    *Warning: Explicit content -MATT- If before talking to Sienna I was already feeling restless to go home, after that I was borderline insane. Hearing about her altercation with HR made my blood boil. And Brianna proved to be much more unhinged than I expected. She made me question my policy of not hitting women. She must be stopped. I begged Sienna not to make any hasty decisions and to wait until we had talked to the team's lawyer. After all, it was his firm that handled our marriage procedure. I'd also like to know how Blair was able to get our marriage certificate, since there are some tough restrictions on requesting the record. When the plane stopped, I barreled through my teammates to jump out first. Taking an Uber, I paid extra for the driver to get me from the airport to the apartment in the shortest possible time. I wanted to see her. I needed to be with her. Deep inside me, I knew our time was limited. Our relationship already had a set expiration date. But I w

    PRESENT DAY _____________ -NINA- "Why are you bringing your bikini? It’s almost winter and Austria is even colder than the US!" Harper asked, rummaging through my clothes. It was a sunny Sunday afternoon, and we were standing in the middle of her living room, with the sunlight streaming in through the window. I was packing my suitcase for a business trip I was going on tomorrow when Harper came to help me. Last week, we finally reached a conclusion on the distribution center. Our company's project was the one chosen by the client. But we didn't win everything. Even though our design was superior, the AMR group was awarded the contract for the construction. In the end, it was the best of both worlds combined for the client. For them, because now I have to work side by side with Chris's company. As we lost a lot of time before they finally made a decision, things need to be accelerated now. A team from both companies will travel to the client's headquarter

    THIRTEEN YEARS AGO _______________________ -NINA- "Where is he?" I asked Kyle. "Over there, by the pool," he stretched his finger to the side of the house, where a stepped wooden deck surrounded a swimming pool. I didn't wait for him to say anything else before heading straight in the direction he pointed. Harper followed me behind until she stopped at some distance. I found Chris leaning against a glass railing, looking out at the city skyline in the distance. "Chris!" I called out to him, and he turned to me, swaying a little. He was wearing blue shorts and a white short-sleeved shirt. His top buttons were unbuttoned, his clothes were wrinkled and his hair was all disheveled. His eyes were red and he looked exhausted. Despite that, he remained absurdly handsome. "Nina? Is this real? " He asked me, confused. I quickly approached him, eager to be close to him again. The moon shone on his skin, making him look like a Greek statue. He extended his right arm towards m

    THIRTEEN YEARS AGO _______________________ -NINA- I've thought a lot about us recently, and I feel we should break up. You and I are too different, and I don’t think we should be together anymore. I read the message Chris sent me for the hundredth time. At first, I thought it was a joke. After all, it came only two days after my birthday, the best day of my life. So, I answered with another joke. Oh, no. I'm devastated. So now I'm free to ask your friend Kyle out? But he didn’t reply to that text or any other one that I sent afterward. I tried to call him, but it went directly to voicemail. After a while, he blocked me. Over the next week, he disappeared from school. I started to grow anxious, suspecting that his evil uncle might have been involved. I even told my parents about our break-up. Not all the details, but the general idea. My mother was trying to convince me to report his disappearance to the police when I finally saw him at school. One lo

    -NINA- A few days after going to AMR group headquarters, I still couldn't forget about Chris. It didn't help that I left his office in a hurry, without underwear, with a tingling sensation in my core that lasted for hours. Once again, I was sucked up in that whirlwind of lust. The attraction was too strong for me to go against it. I know it was wrong, and I shouldn't have done it, but I don't regret it. By sleeping with him, I was able to get it out of my system and finally move on. As I told him, it was just s.ex, nothing more. But God, it was so good. Actually, it was spectacular. He knew my body better than myself, giving me exactly what I wanted, the way I needed. Our bodies connect like magnets. I squeezed my eyes shut, shaking my head in an attempt to brush away the images flooding my brain. The only way to keep my mind far away was to bury myself in work. And that is precisely what I am doing. At the end of the week, there will be an online meeting to present

    -CHRIS- "The numbers in the graph do not reflect last quarter's dividends. They show some profit when, in reality, there are some losses here in this other spreadsheet." Ben, my assistant, was trying to explain the discrepancies he found out in Hayworth Pipelines' book. After the last encounter I had with my uncle, I couldn't shake off a nagging feeling in my gut. He sounded far too desperate to have simply lost a contract. Sure, it was a huge deal, but the company has thousands of other revenues, and it shouldn't have impacted him so much as it did. For him to come out of his hole and threaten Nina, who has nothing to do with our business, it had to be something important. So I asked Ben to dig for some information and he found it. It was deeply hidden, but my sources managed to uncover the real numbers. My uncle had been embezzling company funds into his personal offshore account for years. It was easy for him to cover it up when profits were booming. But now, with the
