GABRIELLE'S POV

My mother stared at me for a long moment, unable to utter a word in response, and with that look on her face that made my stomach drop lower.

Then she blinked, smoothening out her expression. The fear quickly disappeared from her eyes and was replaced by something calmer, more controlled.

"Of course not," she said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Why would I hide anything from you?"

I frowned slightly. "Mom…" I started to counter, but she cut me off gently, stepping clo

    LYNETTE'S POVI was at my desk, eating a sandwich with one hand and scrolling through design files with the other when my phone buzzed beside my laptop.I ignored it and kept working.But it buzzed again and again, and then it wouldn't stop.I let out a frustrated sigh, set the sandwich down, and picked up the phone to see what the buzzing was all about.My brows instantly drew together when I saw dozens of notifications of new followers and DMs from Instagram, all in the last few minutes.What the hell?I wasn’t an influencer or anything, I didn’t post much, and my studio's account was modest. So where did all the attention come from all of sudden? I stared for a moment, then I shook my head, ignoring it and setting the phone back down. I picked up my sandwich and continued working.The phone kept buzzing, but I paid no attention to it.Then the door suddenly opened, and Ashley walked in with a very bright smile.I'd normally be irritated that she barged in without knocking, but I w

  • Falling For His Nemesis    The one with her

    BRADFORD'S POVThe Thanksgiving weekend that always seemed way too long had come and gone again.I used to look forward to that holiday when my mother was still alive, but not anymore.Cause I now spent them with my father and a handful of relatives that I didn’t like talking to, and they never got tired of asking the usual questions:“When are you getting married? Is there anyone special?”And my answer didn’t change either: “No one special yet.”My father watched me from across the table with an unreadable expression when I answered their questions this time. He knew I was lying, he just didn't know about what.I was also the first to leave the dinner as always.On Monday morning, bright and early, I was back in the office, staring out the busy city of New York from my window, but my mind had already drifted to Lynette.She's another reason why this past weekend felt hellish and extremely long, because she still wouldn't answer my calls and I couldn't go to her office to try and se

"Why would I hide anything from you?"I frowned slightly. "Mom…" I started to counter, but she cut me off gently, stepping closer to me."You know I'm always worried about you, darling," she reached out, touched my cheek, and I could feel her hand still trembling, just slightly. "I'm only trying to protect you from people in that world, so you don't go through what I went through,” she paused, then softly added. “That's all there is, nothing more."She held my gaze for another second, offering a faint smile, then she walked away before I could think to say anything else. I stood there watching her go. Her shoulders t

  • Falling For His Nemesis    Is there something you're not telling me?

    GABRIELLE'S POV I was curled up on the couch watching t****k videos when a call from a strange number flashed at the top of the screen. I stared at it with my brow raised for a moment, but something in my gut already told me who it was. I cleared my throat softly, keeping my voice cool before answering. “Hello, who's this?” A warm, playful, and familiar voice came through. “Would you like to take a guess?” I smiled quietly, I knew that voice. It's him just like I'd guessed, but I wasn't gonna make it that easy for him. I paused briefly, letting the silent stretch, like I was thinking. Then I said slowly, letting the surprise evident in my tone. “Benedict?” “The one and only,” he replied, and I could hear the grin in his voice. I rolled my eyes even though he couldn't see me, but I was fighting the urge to really smile. “How…how did you get my number?" I asked, putting on my best surprised voice now. “Well, you wouldn't give it to me. And it turned out the universe's on my si

  • Falling For His Nemesis    I made sure of it

    GABRIELLE'S POV “Hi,” he introduced, “I'm Benedict.” I looked up to meet his green eyes and could neither respond nor look away. I stared at him with my jaw dropping slightly open, wondering if I'd conjured him from my imagination cause he looked too strikingly handsome to be real. He's average height, so he wasn't hovering, but he was well built, like he spent his mornings surfing and his afternoons in the gym. His dark hair was slightly messy. He probably ran his hand through them quite often without thinking. My eye caught a small black inked tattoo peeking out from the collar of his shirt. It looked like an eagle. Everything about him screamed “playboy” but hey, he's just the kind of guy I wouldn't pass up on a night with. Shit, I'm probably drooling right now. I pressed my lips together and blinked, snapping myself out of my fantasy. And he just grinned, making those damn dimples of his deepened. Fuck, he noticed. I glanced down, trying to hide my embarrassment, then I

  • Falling For His Nemesis    Hi, I'm Benedict.

    LYNETTE'S POVThere was a stunned silence on the table for a long terrifying moment.I stilled in my seat, and my breathing had paused.Oh my God Did he know? How could he have known?My mind started spinning with questions.‘What should I do? What should I do? I can't just run out of here, can I?’Henry glanced around, suddenly aware that something had shifted in the air. His chewing slowed and his smile faltered. His eyes darted from his mother to his father to Nicholas.No one said a word.Martha's fork was hovering mid-air. David's hand had frozen on his wine glass. Claire stared at her husband with wide eyes like she couldn't believe what he'd just said either.My breathing resumed but it wasn't at a normal rate. My heart was racing wildly with fear.I slowly turned to look at Nicholas beside me, thinking he was looking at me, but he wasn't. His eyes were shooting daggers at his brother instead. His hands were balled into tight fists on the table, so tight his knuckles had turn

    BRADFORD'S POVThe shock on Lynette’s face was unmistakable. Her face turned pale and her warm brown eyes widened.She seemed to have recognised me even before I introduced myself.

    LYNETTE'S POVI kissed him like I'd been hungry for it.And honestly, I have.He froze for a moment, probably shocked I moved so fast. Then he started to kiss me back slowly, as if he had all the time in the world. I wasn’t expecting his lips to be that soft. He pulled me closer with one hand and

She muttered something, and I could picture her biting her low
