Nicholas had become a shadow of himself.

The mirror no longer reflected the confident man who once commanded the company and charmed investors. The man staring back was gaunt, his eyes darker, his jawline thinner, and his hair streaked with obvious exhaustion.

He’d stopped wearing tailored suits. These days, he settled for rolled-up sleeves and a tie that rarely made it to his neck. His assistant once joked that he looked artfully undone, but there was nothing artful about the way grief hollowed a person out.

His company still stood, but just barely.

Genevieve’s scandals had stripped him of prestige, headlines had chipped away at his authority, and clients had become wary of the chaos surrounding his name. Calloway & Partners, once a synonym for reliability and sharp execution, was now a brand recovering from gossip, lawsuits, and betrayal.

The hit on Aurora marketing, which was a subsidiary where Nicholas was working, took most hits. Their ads had not been performing well; all their

  • GUILTY DEVOTION   It's Over

    |Cassie|I was gone for less than five minutes.That was the lie my mind kept repeating as my feet carried me back down the corridor, chart tucked under my arm, the faint smell of disinfectant clinging to my clothes. Five minutes wasn’t enough time for anything to happen. Five minutes was harmless and safe.However, the door to my son’s room was open. That was weird because I never left it open, and it was not his checkup time.At first, my brain refused to register what my eyes were seeing. The machines were still there, humming softly. The chair Nicholas had been sitting in was pushed slightly back, as if someone had stood up in a hurry. The blanket was folded at the foot of the bed.But the bed itself was empty.The sound that tore out of my throat didn’t feel human. It was raw, sharp, something ripped from a place deeper than fear. I dropped the chart. Papers were scattered across the floor, but I didn’t look down.“No,” I whispered, stumbling forward. Then louder. “No. No, no, no

  • GUILTY DEVOTION   Leverage

    With the recent revelations and other evidence provided by Charles, Nicholas consults his lawyers to sue both Genevieve and Ryan for emotional distress, conspiracy to defraud his reputation and career, and manipulating Cassie into silence.The email arrived first in a cold, legal, merciless manner. It was their notice of the crimes they had been sued for. Ryan read it twice, then a third time, his fingers trembling so badly he nearly dropped his phone.This wasn’t a warning but an annihilation.He paced his apartment like a trapped animal, bare feet slapping against the tile, breath coming too fast. If this went to court, there would be no soft landing or any form of clever spin. Everything he had done, every lie, half-truth, and act of blackmail, would be dragged into the light.Genevieve had promised protection and power, but now she wasn’t answering his calls.Ryan laughed then, a sharp, brittle sound that startled even him. Of course. Of course she had vanished. She always did whe

  • GUILTY DEVOTION   Sticky

    The late afternoon sunlight pierced through Genevieve’s thin curtains, dust motes swirling like ghosts in the stale air. Her apartment was nothing like the penthouse she once shared with Nicholas. There were no marble floors or gleaming chandeliers. Just peeling wallpaper, a cracked mirror, and a half-empty wine glass on the floor beside the couch.Genevieve stared at her reflection in that mirror, tracing the faint lines around her eyes. Therapy, she thought bitterly. They said it would help.The court had ordered it after the divorce hearings. She’s entitled to weekly sessions and mandatory progress reports. They called it emotional rehabilitation, but she called it punishment.Her therapist, Dr. Brant, kept using phrases like "closure" and "self-accountability." Genevieve would nod, smile, and pretend she cared. But every word slid right off her, because she didn’t want to close anything. She didn’t want to heal. She wanted Nicholas back at all costs.He was the only man who had ev

    She pressed a trembling hand to her chest. “I thought I was doing the right thing. I thought it would hurt less if you believed I didn’t love you anymore. But I was wrong. It never stopped hurting, not one day.”Nicholas’s lips parted, his expression cracking with grief. He turned away for a moment, pressing a hand to the back of his neck, trying to keep himself together.“Do you know what it’s like,” he said finally, his voice low and trembling, “to spend years believing you’ll never be a father… only to find out you had a son all along?”Cassie sobbed openly now, her voice breaking. “I know. I know I stole that from you, and I’ll never forgive myself for it. But I was scared, Nicholas. I was so scared.”He exhaled sharply, like her words punched through him. “You could’ve trusted me. You should have trusted me.”Cassie nodded through her tears. “I know. But I was twenty-three and pregnant, with everyone telling me I’d destroyed my life. I didn’t know how to fight back.”Nicholas clo

  • GUILTY DEVOTION   Who Protected Me?

    The hospital ward was calmer than usual that night. The machines beside the little bed hummed softly, a steady noise that filled the silence Nicholas and Cassie shared. Their son lay sleeping under a thin white blanket, with his soft curls draping behind his ear a bit, and an IV taped to his arm. Every shallow breath he took was a miracle in motion, and neither of them dared to look away.Nicholas sat in the chair beside him, his elbows resting on his knees and his face buried in his hands. Cassie stood by the window, arms wrapped around herself as though holding her body together was the only thing stopping her from falling apart.It had been hours since the doctor left. Several hours since the truth crashed through the walls of the lives they’d both built to survive. But survival didn’t look like this, it looked like bleeding quietly.When Nicholas finally spoke, his voice was so low Cassie almost missed it. “Why didn’t you tell me? Why did you hide this from me to this point?”Cass

  • GUILTY DEVOTION   Mine

    Back at the company, Zara was arranging files in the conference room, her reflection clear in the polished table. She looked different now; she was calmer and sharper. Therapy had changed her, or rather, revealed her.Her once nervous energy had become a focused one. She no longer needed to fix everyone. Now, she listened, observed, and acted only when necessary. When she graduated, she decided to apply to a company, and surprisingly, she was picked and hired.Nicholas told her that the past didn’t determine her skills and shouldn’t be the reason why he would turn away a great talent like her. Her new position as Senior Brand Strategist had come after months of hard work, late nights, and learning from her mistakes. Though her name was now respected, she never forgot the girl she once was.The office door opened, and Nicholas walked in. Zara straightened. “Sir,” she greeted, but paused. He looked… off.His usual composure was cracked faintly but unmistakably. There was a tremor in his
