Forever Was Never The Deal Chapter 023: A MASQUERADE?
The next morning, William was already awake when I came downstairs.He was sitting at the dining table, a cup of coffee in front of him and his phone in his hand.I stopped halfway down the stairs.“You're up early.”He looked up and smiled.I walked over and took the seat opposite him. For a few seconds, neither of us said anything.After everything that had happened the night before, things between us felt slightly different.Not uncomfortable. Just… different. I wasn't sure what to make of it. William seemed to notice it too, but thankfully, he didn't say anything.He took a sip of his coffee before placing the cup down.“I have to leave for a few days.”I looked up.“Leave?”“Yeah.”“For where?”He hesitated for half a second.“California.”I nodded.“Business?”“Personal.”That answer made me pause. But only for a moment. I didn't ask any more questions.Whatever William had going on outside our arrangement wasn't really my business.Or at least, that's what I told myself.“How l
Forever Was Never The Deal Chapter 022: MY PERSONAL BODYGUARD
By the time I reached my office, I was ready to forget everything else.I stepped inside. Then stopped. Miles was sitting in front of my desk. He didn’t move. He simply sat there, leaning back in my chair as if the last few weeks hadn't happened. As if he still belonged in this office. As if I hadn't taken everything from him.I slowly closed the door behind me.“What are you doing here?”Miles smiled.“I told you I'd be back.”“I remember.”I walked toward my desk, stopping a few feet away from him.“You're trespassing.”He chuckled.“Still arrogant.”“Still unemployed?”His smile disappeared.Good.I walked around my desk and placed my handbag on the table.“You have five seconds to explain why you're here before I call security.”Miles stood.“You really think you've won?”“I don't think.”I looked him directly in the eyes.“I know.”He stepped closer.“You destroyed my company.”“You handed it to me.”“You manipulated me.”“You signed the agreement.”“You knew exactly what you wer
Forever Was Never The Deal Chapter 021: THE MAN I DIDN’T KNOW
I couldn't breathe.The man's hand was still over my mouth as I struggled beneath his grip.Then I saw him.William.He was standing at the other end of the hallway. For one second, he didn't move. His eyes were fixed on the man holding me. Something changed in his face. I had never seen it before. The warmth disappeared. So did the teasing smile.There was nothing familiar about his expression anymore.The man noticed him and turned slightly.“Get lost.”William said nothing.He walked toward us.Slowly.The man tightened his grip on me.“Stay back.”William stopped.His eyes dropped to the man's hand around my wrist.Then returned to his face.“Take your hands off her.”His voice was quiet.Too quiet.The man laughed.“Or W-wha—”The man barely got the word out before William moved.One second, he was standing in front of me.The next, the man was ripped backward and slammed against the wall with enough force to make the entire room shake.I froze.His head struck the hard surface w
Forever Was Never The Deal Chapter 020: GET A GRIP HILARY
By the time dinner was over, I had officially lost the wager. At least, that was what William thought. We walked out of the restaurant together, and I couldn't stop the smile threatening to form on my face. I had spent the entire day away from my office. No meetings. No business calls. No checking documents every five minutes. Just horse racing, music, dinner, and William. It was annoyingly enjoyable. William held the door open for me as we stepped back inside to collect my things. “So,” he said, “does this mean I win?” I picked up my bag. “Absolutely not.” He grinned. “I'll take that as a yes.” We headed toward the private lounge where we'd left our things. The restaurant had become quieter. Most of the guests had already left, leaving only soft music playing in the background. William walked beside me. Neither of us said much. And for some reason, the silence didn't feel awkward. It felt comfortable. That was new. We stopped near the entrance. William turned to
Forever Was Never The Deal Chapter 019: KARAOKE
By six that evening, I was beginning to think William had a personal mission to keep me away from my office.I had already spent the entire afternoon trying to answer emails from my phone.He had taken my phone away twice.The second time, I almost hit him.Almost.Now I was standing outside a small live-music lounge, staring at the sign above the entrance.I turned to William.“What is this?”He smiled.“Our next activity.”I looked at the entrance.Then at him.“You brought me to karaoke?”“Live music.”“That's just karaoke with better lighting.”He laughed.“I thought you liked music.”“I do.”“Then what's the problem?”“The problem is that I don't sing in public.”“Why?”“Because I have standards.”He shook his head.“You're unbelievable.”“I know.”We walked inside.The place wasn't too crowded.There was a small stage at the front, a bar on one side, and tables scattered around the room. Someone was already singing while a few people talked over their drinks.I looked around.“T
Forever Was Never The Deal Chapter 018: THE WRONG WOMAN
By ten in the morning, I was already regretting my decision. Not because I had agreed to spend the day with William.Well…Maybe a little.I stood outside the stables, staring at the horses in front of me. Then I slowly turned toward William.“You brought me to a stable?”He smiled.“You wanted to know the first activity.”“I was expecting something normal.”“This is normal.”“For who?”He laughed.“You said you wanted a challenge.”“I said I wanted to win a challenge. There’s a difference.”“Same thing.”“No, it's not.”He walked toward one of the horses.I followed him reluctantly.“I've never ridden a horse before.”William glanced at me.“Really?”“Really.”“You're scared?”I looked at the horse.Then back at him.“A little.”His smile widened.“Interesting.”“What?”“Nothing.”I narrowed my eyes.“I don't like that look.”“What look?”“That look you're giving me.”He shrugged. “I'm just surprised.”“About?”“That Hilary Banks is afraid of something.”I scoffed.“I'm not afraid.”
