Entangled with the wrong man Chapter 45: Mexico
~ DRUSCILLA ~“You mean you really want to open a Mexican restaurant?”I lifted another taco from the plate, took a bite, and let out a soft, satisfied hum as the flavors melted on my tongue. My eyes widened a little.“Wow… this is really good,” I said, glancing at him with a smile. “I didn’t know you could cook like this.”Ivan leaned closer, his fingers brushing the corner of my mouth. He wiped away a smear of sauce, slow and deliberate. The touch sent a sharp shiver down my spine.“I can be anything you want me to be,” he murmured.His gaze dropped to my lips. Heavy. Intent. Like he was already imagining how I’d taste.My breath hitched.I leaned in first, my hand settling on his shoulder, fingers curling slightly into the fabric of his shirt. Our noses brushed. Warm. Intimate. Familiar.And then our lips met.No hesitation.No thinking.Just heat.I kissed him hard, pouring everything into it. Weeks of comfort. Safety. Something dangerously close to love.He kissed me back just as

~ DRUSCILLA ~ I was sprawled across my bed, laptop balanced on my thighs, half-working, half-distracted, when Patricia started pounding on my door like she was trying to break it off its hinges. My jaw tightened. “What the hell is it?” I shouted, not bothering to hide the irritation in my voice. “Open the door, Druscilla.” Her voice came sharp, impatient. “I need to talk to you.” I groaned under my breath. Seriously? After everything I heard from Isaac that morning, I had chosen to ignore her. No confrontation, no drama. I came home, kept to myself, and planned to sleep it off. But Patricia was not the type to take silence as an answer. I glanced toward the empty hallway, wishing Lani was home. She would have shut this down in seconds. But no. Night shift. Perfect. Dragging in a slow breath, I pushed myself off the bed, walked to the door, and yanked it open. Patricia didn’t wait for an invitation. She stormed in like a gust of chaos. “Why did you do that?” she snapped,

~ ISAAC ~I had just wrapped up a meeting with my new assistant, Alicia.Sharp woman. Quick mind. The kind that doesn’t need things repeated twice. My former assistant had gone on maternity leave, so Alicia was stepping in for now. Temporary, but already proving useful.I grabbed my car keys, glancing at my reflection in the glass door before stepping out.I had a date with Avery.We were going to pick out an engagement ring. She had been talking about it nonstop for days, her voice always bubbling with excitement, like a child counting down to Christmas morning.Funny how things change.You’re probably wondering why I suddenly decided to keep the baby.Simple.Reality hit me like a brick.Druscilla was never going to be mine again.Not after everything.Not after the way she looks at him now… like he hung the damn moon.She doesn’t pick my calls. Doesn’t return my messages. Hell, she avoids me like I carry a disease. Like I’m something rotten she accidentally stepped on.And yet…Ave

~ IVANOV ~The moment she stepped into my car, something felt off.Not just off. Wrong.Druscilla wasn’t the same woman who usually slid into my passenger seat with that spark in her eyes and something sharp sitting on her tongue, ready to cut. Today, she looked… dimmed. Like someone had reached inside her and twisted something delicate.Sad. Angry. Confused.All of it tangled together on her face.And quiet.Too damn quiet.I pulled out into traffic, my hands steady on the wheel, but my mind wasn’t. My eyes kept drifting to her, quick glances I tried to hide. She stared out the window like the world outside mattered more than anything happening inside this car.Her fingers were clenched in her lap.Her lips pressed tight.And then I saw it.A tear.Sliding down her cheek before she wiped it away like it didn’t belong there.Yeah. Something was very wrong.She had called me earlier saying Isaac slapped her. I was mad initially, but on a second thought… I suspected it was just a prank.
Entangled with the wrong man Chapter 41: I was being nice
~ Druscilla ~Isaac and Avery froze in the doorway, staring at me like I'd just sprouted horns. Their faces were a perfect mix of shock and something uglier—maybe guilt, maybe just plain disbelief."Isaac. Avery..." My voice came out steadier than I felt. "What the hell are you two doing here?"Isaac recovered first, crossing his arms like he owned the place. "We should be asking you the same damn thing, Dru. What are you doing in Lydia Barnes's office?"I leaned back against the desk, folding my arms under my chest. "I work here.""You work here?" He let out a short, disbelieving laugh. "No way in hell.""And why's that?" I shot back, letting a small smirk tug at my lips."We're here to see Lydia," he said, glancing at Avery like she might back him up. "But seriously—what are you doing in her office?""I'm her personal assistant." I kept it short, clipped.Isaac barked another laugh, this one sharper. "Lydia hired you? As her assistant?"I pulled my ID badge from my blazer pocket and
Entangled with the wrong man Chapter 40: I have got something to tell you
IVANOVI finally did it.I took Isaac Kaen’s woman.And damn… it felt better than I ever imagined.It wasn’t messy. It wasn’t forced. It happened naturally. Almost too perfectly, like the universe itself had decided to hand her to me.Druscilla.Just thinking her name stirred something warm and dangerous in my chest.The funny part?Falling for her was never part of the plan.Yet here I was, sitting alone in my penthouse office, staring at the Manhattan skyline and realizing the truth like a punch to the gut.I was gone.Completely gone.Yeah. I’m in love.I leaned back in my chair and ran a hand through my hair, letting out a low breath. A rough chuckle escaped me.Who the hell wouldn’t fall for a woman like her?Pure.Charming.Funny as hell when she forgot to filter herself.And smart. Too damn smart.Isaac really let a gemstone slip through his fingers.The idiot.I shook my head slowly.But then again… if he hadn’t screwed things up, she wouldn’t be mine now.His loss. My gain.A
