-Dominic-

I had never heard my mother curse, not when there were rumors of my father’s affairs. Not when tabloids circled our family like vultures.

So in the afternoon, when I heard her spit those words with disdain. I knew he’d crossed the line. I knew she’d finally break.

It was evening when I reached the estate. The house felt too quiet, I knew my father would be nowhere near here after whatever he had done.

I quickly went upstairs to her bedroom where the staff said she’d be, but she wasn’t

  • Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession   055: The Night We Kissed

    -Eve-It was foolish to think that running a mile after years of physical inactivity would make me feel better. I only felt worse.I stopped at a bench at a park to catch my breath, but legs wobbled like jelly.Sal crossed the line. She fucking did. I chanted in my mind.I pulled out my phone and searched on Siena Coleman. The article popped up, her name published as the writer.Unconscious Siena Suffers Seizure After Intruder Appears In Hospital Room.By Sally Turner.The article talked about the seizure and contained an account of an eye-witness who saw the intruder in scrubs. Me.“Fuck you, Sal.” I spat, blinking rapidly to fight back tears.At the same time, her words lingered. She was kind of right. I was the one standing in the way of finding my sister. I had let doubt and fear creep even though I badly wanted to find her.Without thinking, my fingers thumbed on one of my social media app. My profile was empty, just my username and a profile picture of me from college graduation

    -Sal-Three days later.“…I’m so glad we finally got to catch up, it’s been a hectic week.” Eve said, attempting to do one of those her pancake flips that always failed.“Me too.” I grinned. “Me too. So tell me more about Alex. And I mean the dets. All of it.”“There’s really nothing to tell.” She shrugged.I smirked. “Are you saying you two haven’t had sex?”She turned sharply, chuckling nervously like she always did when she was uncomfortable with something.“Alex and I have been busy all week, we’ve barely had time for ourselves.”“So no sex?” I said firmly.She squirmed, fiddled with her fingers, and then returned to the cooker.I chuckled underneath my breath. Oh, how I enjoyed doing this.“My mom is doing much better now. The doctors hope she can come home soon. I’ve been looking into rehab. She wants to get into a sobriety program.”“Well, it’s a good thing.”She nodded. “Yes….And we’ve been speaking. We’re trying to work out our differences. It’s been great.”“Did you two talk

    -Eve-I hated that Sal was right. I hated the idea that Siena could be in greater danger and nobody knew. Even worse, I hated that Guilt clawed tightly in my chest.“Eve!” Monica’s harsh voice rang through my ears, snapping me back to my cubicle.“I have a quick assignment for you,” she began with a grin. “I need you head over to the resource room and arrange all the marketing folders in alphabetical order.”I blinked at her, confused. Was this punishment for something I didn’t remember? I wondered.She continued. “While you’re at it, I need the 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2010, marketing reports for Kluxe. Make sure they’re on my table before noon—”“Can’t someone handle it? I mean, Mr. Mayer already assigned me to the PR team handling Lure’s—”“Unfortunately, Alex isn’t on seat, and that leaves me,” she pointed to her chest, “in charge. Plus, Lure will survive with or without your help, Keller.”I let out a small sigh. “Sorting files in alphabetical order doesn’t seem much like a matter o

    -Sal-“…I heard rumors of how she tried to kill herself, but my sources say she ran out of oxygen…I’m just waiting for a verification.” That was Susan from the opposite cubicle.I didn’t like Susan. For one, she was my self-acclaimed rival in this office.Secondly, I knew she was being loud on purpose so she could rub it in my face.She was my competition in the Siena Coleman story.Siena Coleman.That’s all everyone could talk about in this damn office.For the past three days, her name was the only thing I could think of.Damn, I had held Eve’s scoop in for three days, and fuck! It was killing me.An intruder. An earring? In scoop terms, I called it pure gold.“Sally.” Claire’s voice and knuckles tapping on my desk snapped me back to the present.“Hey, what’s up?” She frowned, “You said you had a source, got me all excited, and then leave me nothing. Why haven’t heard shit from you since?”“Shit.”I sat up in my chair and blinked.I made a fucking promise, that’s what.I cleared my

Not when tabloids circled our family like vultures.So in the afternoon, when I heard her spit those words with disdain. I knew he’d crossed the line.

The house felt too quiet, I knew my father would be nowhere near here after whatever he had done.I quickly went upstairs to her bedroom where the staff said she’d be, but she wasn’t. I called out to her thrice, without a response.Finally, I found her in his study.She was seating behind his desk, hands clasped in front of her.I’d never seen her like this.For a moment, I just stared. She didn’t shake, she just sat.When I finally took a seat, her voice cut in, cold and sharp.“Did he send you?” Her eyes snapped in my direction, there was no softness in them, just rage.“No.” I shook my head, confused.“Good.” She said before stifling a cold laugh.What could he have done

    -Eve-I barely had any chance to see Alex today.He’d been out all day, working at another branch, I think. Though, he’d laugh at me if he knew I had been counting minutes.Either way, I felt bad that I had to bail on him, but the hospital asked me to come see my mom in the evening. I hated it. It felt like suddenly, my entire life revolved around her.When I got to the private wing, a nurse had to ID me before letting me in, which was weird because it had never happened before.I took a turn, barely into the wing where I bumped right into something— no someone, hard. The familiar scent hit me first, before a pair of strong hands reached me, pulling upright.Dominic.I freed myself from his grip, instinctively taking a step away from him.“You should learn to watch where you’re going.” He said, flat. Cold.“Sorry,” I mumbled, walking off as fast as I could.I didn’t realize I was holding in my breath until I reached my mother’s room, slumped against the door and heaved a huge sigh.Th
