Julian didn’t hear the door open. He was sitting in the private back room of the lounge, the bottle now almost empty, his face flushed, eyes red.

Liam stepped in quietly.

“Julian.”

Julian looked up, startled. And then, seeing Liam, his expression cracked. Like a wall collapsing. He stood shakily, knocking over his glass.

“You came,” he said hoarsely.

Liam took a step closer. “You texted me.”

Julian’s eyes shimmered. “I’m sorry, Liam.”

He stumbled forward and gripped Liam’s shirt like a man drowning. “I’m so fucking sorry.”

Liam didn’t answer. But his arms wrapped around Julian before he realized he’d moved. It felt like muscle memory. Like exhaling after holding his breath for too long.

Julian buried his face in Liam’s neck, trembling. “You were the only thing that felt right.”

“I know,” Liam whispered. “I know.”

Julian pulled back slightly, his eyes bloodshot but locked on Liam’s. “Can I kiss you?”

Liam didn’t respond.

Julian leaned forward anyway.

Their lips met like a crash –

  • ENTANGLED AFFAIRS   HIS DEATH

    Jasper glanced at Julian, who nodded.Tasha sat up straighter. “Then let’s finish this.”Meanwhile, behind bars, Adrian sat on the edge of his cot, staring at the metal door. A guard came to the bars.“You’ve got a visitor.”“I didn’t ask for one.”“Didn’t say you did.” The guard stepped aside.The man who entered was tall, dressed in black, and cold-eyed. Adrian’s jaw tensed.“What do you want?”The man smirked. “A message.”Adrian stood. “From who?”“From Malcolm.”Before Adrian could react, the man reached into his coat, and a muffled gunshot echoed behind the walls.Blood trickled down Adrian’s temple as his body was going weak as he stuttered “Why.. why would he kill me, I am his only son, I did everything he asked me to, I ruined Clara, and I was going to ruin Davenport.. I needed time.”“He said he would avenge your death, don't worry.“ the man said as he watched Adrian collapse and went stiff.The guard outside didn’t even flinch When he heard the low gunshot sound***The

  • ENTANGLED AFFAIRS   THE FALL OF ADRIAN

    She grabbed them one after another, smashing them against the marble counters in rage. “That bitch bugged the whole damn place!”Meanwhile, in Adrian’s office, panic truly began to set in. He strode to the wall behind his grandfather’s antique painting, an old oil canvas of a misty valley. Shoving it aside with trembling fingers, he revealed a small safe.He keyed in the code.Click.The door swung open.Empty.“No…” he breathed, staggered. “No, no, no!”His most incriminating files, paper trails, backup cash, contracts, names of distributors, foreign accounts, gone.All of it.Vivian had taken everything.And just then, as if the universe conspired for perfect timing, red and blue lights flashed through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Police officers were filing into the building below.“Victoria!” Adrian roared. “Call my lawyer. Now!”But Victoria didn’t move. She stood by the door, stunned, frozen like a statue. Then came the heavy knock, and the office door opened. Officers stepped

  • ENTANGLED AFFAIRS   THE FALL

    There was silence on the line.Then Jasper said, “We’re going to need more than footage. We’re going to need a name.”Vivian nodded to herself.“I’ll get it,” she said, her voice low. “Even if it means going through hell to find it.”Vivian gets a call from a blocked number.She answers.And the voice on the other end says calmly: “Stop digging, someone dies and you know who.”Her blood runs cold.“Who is this?”“Oh just a guard who has fucked you before and we are all waiting to fuck you again Vivian, the old man is waiting your friend Kachi will die of being fucked everyday..”***Vivian stood by the window of Jasper’s house, her arms folded tightly across her chest as the others arrived one by one. Tasha, Julian, Jasper, and finally, Clara, her hand resting gently over her swollen belly.Everyone looked tense. They had a good reason to be.Liam was still missing.Vivian didn’t wait long. “Sit,” she said sharply, her tone leaving no room for argument.They obeyed. Tasha sat beside

  • ENTANGLED AFFAIRS   BURIED SECRETS

    Vivian sat still on the edge of Adrian’s desk, her fingers tightly interlocked in her lap. Her head bowed slightly as if deep in thought, but her eyes were scanning every corner of the office. Adrian had left moments ago, after their tense conversation where she had “reluctantly” told him about Clara’s pregnancy. His reaction was colder than she expected. Dismissive. Maybe even calculated.“She didn’t tell me herself. I don’t care. You shouldn’t either,” he had said flatly before stepping out to take a call.But that reaction gave Vivian exactly what she needed, his trust. At least enough of it to be left alone in his office.She stood immediately, her expression shifting from passive to predator. She moved quickly, silently.“Come on, come on… give me something I can really use,” she murmured as she began scanning the office like a seasoned investigator.She checked the drawers first, mostly files, random invoices, pens, neatly stacked documents. Nothing. She moved to the bookshelf.

  • ENTANGLED AFFAIRS   CAUGHT IN THE ACT

    He thrust into her hard and fast, not giving her a moment to adjust. Victoria cried out, her fingers gripping the edge of the desk.“Yes… yes… just like that!” she gasped.Adrian’s hands gripped her hips tightly, pulling her back to meet each thrust. “Take it,” he growled. “Take all of it.”Victoria moaned loudly, her body shaking with each powerful thrust. “Oh God, don’t stop… Please don’t stop!”“Not until you scream,” Adrian promised darkly.He pounded into her relentlessly, his name falling from her lips like a mantra. Victoria’s knees began to buckle, but Adrian held her up, his grip on her hips the only thing keeping her upright.“I… I’m gonna come!” she cried out.“Do it,” he growled. "Come for me Victoria"“Fuck I’m coming!”Her body convulsed as the orgasm washed over her, her walls clenching around him. Adrian didn’t slow down, driving into her through her climax.“Again,” he demanded.“Ah… I can’t…” she whimpered.“Yes, you can,” Adrian said, one hand sliding around to rub

  • ENTANGLED AFFAIRS   SNIPER AND BUG

    Somewhere across the street, perched in shadowThe sniper’s breath was even, finger poised on the trigger. Through his scope, he watched Julian’s black car screech to a halt outside the clinic. Then Tasha emerged from the passenger seat.The sniper’s comms buzzed.“They’re here,” he muttered. “The girl’s being picked up. You really don't want me to take the shot?”Silence crackled on the other end.Then Drew’s voice came, cold and distant.“No.”The sniper blinked.“No?” he repeated.“I said no,” Drew replied. “We’ve got Liam. Julian just walked into a bigger trap. The girl isn’t the game anymore.”A long pause.“Copy that.”The sniper slowly lowered the rifle.Far below, Julian disappeared into the clinic.Drew smirked, watching Liam quietly sip the water he’d been offered minutes ago. His eyes were still drowsy from the sedative that had worn off, but alert enough to keep Drew on edge.“I said what I said. Don’t take the shot,” Drew replied coolly. “We’re pivoting.”There was silenc
