FOUR SHADES OF DREY WHY WAS SHE WORKING WITH HIM?
Chapter 78Dreyven For five years, she’d been a quiet ache in the back of my mind. But seeing her in the flesh, breathing the same cold air, made my throat go completely dry. The heavy iron wrench in my right hand suddenly felt heavy. I set it down on the metal workbench, the clatter loud and sharp in the quiet garage.She looked incredible. She didn't look like the girl who used to hide herself under oversized hoodies anymore. She stood tall, her shoulders back, carrying herself with an easy, polished confidence that made my chest tighten.Then, she did something that caught me off guard.Her eyes widened slightly, a perfect look of sudden realization washing over her face."Dreyven?" she said, her voice light and friendly. "Well. Small world. I didn't expect to run into you here."A cold splash of reality hit me. She’s acting.Aurelia didn't just stumble into a high-end, private racing and custom garage on the edge of the city by accident. She was too smart for that. She knew ex
FOUR SHADES OF DREY WIPING MY HANDS ON A RAG
Chapter 77DreyvenNone of us slept.I know that for a fact because at six in the morning I walked into the kitchen of the estate and found Dreyden already there, sitting at the counter with a coffee gone cold in front of him, staring at nothing. Dreylen came down not long after, still in yesterday's clothes, which told me he hadn't bothered going to bed at all.Drayton was the last one in, and none of us needed to ask if he'd slept either. He looked like a man who'd been hit somewhere he couldn't block."So," Dreyden said, not looking up from his cold coffee. "She's back.""She's back," I repeated, and the words felt strange in my mouth, like a sentence I'd rehearsed so many times in my head over five years that saying it out loud now felt almost unreal."She knew we were listening," Dreylen said quietly. "Last night. She knew Drayton had us on the line the whole time and she still said everything she said." He shook his head slowly. "That's not an accident. She wanted us to hear it
FOUR SHADES OF DREY ANYONE WHO STOOD AGAINST THE DREYS WAS SOMEONE I COULD USE
Chapter 76AureliaNow, here I am. Nothing of who I used to be.The driver dropped me outside my building and I let myself in without turning on a single light. I stood in the dark hallway for a moment, listening to nothing but my own breathing, then walked through to the bathroom and sat down on the cold tile floor with my knees pulled up to my chest.I cried the way I never let anyone see me cry anymore. Not Freya. Not Sienna. Not the version of me that had walked into that bar tonight in a dress that didn't hide a single inch of her and made Drayton forget how to breathe.I let Aurelia from years ago out. The one who used to hide in hoodies, the one who believed a name that wasn't even real, the one who woke up in a hospital bed and lost something she never got to hold. I let her sit there and cry until there was nothing left in my chest to push out.I don't know how long it lasted before I made her leave again. Long enough that my legs had gone stiff by the time I finally stood.
FOUR SHADES OF DREY YOU'RE NOT HER ANYMORE
Chapter 75AureliaShe turned and looked at me, her jaw tight. Then she said, "Okay. We'll do it. But first I need to call your parents.""No." The word shot out of me before I'd even finished hearing her sentence. I pushed myself up against the pillows, wincing at the pull in my stomach. "No, Sienna, please don't. Not them. Not yet.""Lia...""I mean it." My hands had started shaking, and I gripped the blanket to stop it. "You don't understand. If they know, they're going to look at me like I'm broken. Like I ruined everything. My mum's going to ask a hundred questions I can't answer and my dad's going to go quiet in that way he does, and I can't, Sienna, I can't do that on top of everything else."Sienna didn't argue straight away. She pulled her chair closer to the bed instead, close enough that our knees almost touched, and she waited until I looked at her properly before she spoke again."Listen to me," she said. "You're lying in a hospital bed right now with nobody who actuall
FOUR SHADES OF DREY KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
Chapter 74AureliaI felt his eyes on my back the whole way to the door, and I let him have that. Let him sit there turning over every word I'd said, wondering how much I knew, how much I'd planned, how much of tonight had been an accident at all.None of it had been.I stepped out into the cool night air and let out a breath I'd been holding since the second I walked through that door and saw him sitting there. My heart was going harder than I wanted it to. Five years, and one look at Drayton's face had still managed to reach in and grab something.That was fine. I'd expected that. I'd trained for it, the same way you train for anything that's going to hurt, by doing it small and controlled first so the real thing doesn't knock you flat.I got into the car and told the driver to take me home. Then I sat back, closed my eyes, and let myself remember, because tonight had cracked the door open whether I wanted it to or not.The mattress in that flat above the launderette came first, th
FOUR SHADES OF DREY SHE'S BACK
Chapter 73DreytonShe was taller somehow, though I knew that wasn't possible, it must have just been the way she carried herself now. Head up. Shoulders back. Dark auburn hair loose down her back instead of scraped into a bun under a hood. She wore a dress that didn't hide a single inch of her, and she wore it like she'd never once in her life wanted to disappear.This wasn't the girl who used to fold herself into oversized jackets, who used to keep her eyes on the floor and her voice below a whisper. This woman walked through that door like the room belonged to her.But I knew her. God help me, I knew exactly who she was."Ton?" Dreyden's voice again, sharper now. "Ton, you've gone silent on us. What's going on?"I didn't answer. I couldn't. My eyes were locked on her face, waiting for her to notice she was in a room full of strangers, waiting for the moment to pass so I could breathe again.Then her eyes found mine.And she smiled.Not the shy, grateful smile I remembered from a l
