I finished packing for departure but couldn’t get a glimpse of Cassie anywhere. I had called her phone earlier that morning but she didn’t pick up. Zara came out of the room after a while and informed me that she had been picked up by her driver a few minutes ago.

“I could have just dropped her though,” I whispered to myself as I entered my car.

The kiss at the resort lingered in my mind. I couldn’t stop playing it over and over. The softness of her lips, the hotness of her breath, and the electrifying feeling her hand carried as they caressed my back.

“How can I keep saying no when she’s so hot?”

I didn’t know when my lips curled into a smile as I drove along the bridge that connected the road to the street of my house. The sweet memories were cut off with a call that erased my smile instantly.

It was my ex-wife.

All the cells in my body struggled to ignore the call but I knew she would call me to death if I didn’t pick up the call. I had blocked all her numbers but she k

  • GUILTY DEVOTION   Cleared

    |Nicholas|I didn’t even remember how I got to the office after the call from Cassie. Her voice had cracked through me like lightning splitting the sky. “The payment trail… the one we traced to Zara? It wasn’t her.”Then her words landed like a punch: “It turned out that we were mistaken. It came from your cousin. Charles Calloway.”I didn’t argue. I didn’t breathe. I just moved.Charles? No way!There had to be a mistake. Charles was my cousin. He was family. He’d sat in boardrooms with me, defended my decisions when the members circled me like sharks. He’d taken my side when I went through my divorce. He brought wine to my mother’s birthday last year, for God’s sake and we went fishing together.And now what? Betrayal? A huge nonsense!I walked through the office with long, deliberate strides. Since it was the end of work, I didn’t meet anyone on the way until I entered Cassie’s office and closed the door behind me.She looked up, paper trembling slightly in her hand.“You’re sure?”

    That night, when the office finally emptied and the walls stopped humming with usual quiet judgment, Nicholas didn’t say a word.He just walked into my office, his eyes looking tired and heavy, and held out his hand.I didn’t ask questions. I simply stood, slid my fingers into his, and followed him quietly.We didn’t speak during the elevator ride or on the way to the parking garage. His grip was firm but not forceful; it felt like he needed to keep touching me just to stay grounded.Fifteen minutes later, we pulled up to a narrow side street in West Hollywood, where a wine bar sat discreetly between two indie bookstores. There was no flashing sign, no sidewalk crowd; the only thing visible there was just a small wooden door with golden letters that read “Thom & Rue.”Inside, the air was warm and hushed. Jazz curled through invisible speakers as everyone settled at their table. The place smelled like red wine, aged oak, and lavender candles that burned low on each table. A hostess gre

    I clicked to add a timestamp note. “We need John to trace any access or file transfers from that port between 2:32 and 2:35 PM. If it lines up, that’s our breach window.”A firm knock echoed across the room.Nicholas tensed. “Come in.”The door opened, and in walked Deborah Mason, head of HR, followed by a woman I hadn’t seen before. She was in her early 40s, sleek navy pantsuit, blunt-cut hair, and a face that had no time for nonsense.“Evening,” Deborah said tersely. “Sorry to interrupt.”Nicholas straightened. “I assume this isn’t a courtesy call.”“It isn’t,” said the new woman. She extended a card. “Marian Cordell. I represent the company’s legal interest in internal misconduct investigations.”I took the card without a word. Cordell turned to Deborah. “Shut the door.”Once it clicked shut again, Cordell stepped forward, glancing at the screens. “We’ve reviewed the preliminary materials you submitted. The footage. The employee access logs and the complaint files.”“And?” Nicholas

    Later that night, Nicholas drove her to a hidden rooftop restaurant in the city. There were no signs, no crowd, just a steel elevator that opened into candlelight and skyline.A breeze carried soft jazz as they sat in a secluded booth, wine glasses clinking, plates of grilled lamb and herbed risotto spread between them."This place is unreal," Cassie said, sipping her wine.Nicholas smiled. "I figured after the week you had, you deserved something… quieter.""And here I thought you were taking me up here to bribe me for something.""Only your Netflix password. The one you won’t give up."She laughed, the tension leaving her shoulders for the first time in days."I told Mia and Chloe," she said softly, picking at a piece of bread.He looked up, curious. "Yeah? How’d that go?""They screamed. Mia said she’s saving it for her wedding speech opener. Chloe just kept asking if you have a brother she can latch on to."Nicholas chuckled. "I don’t but I’m flattered.""I told them maybe, just m

    The elevator was already halfway down when it stopped on the fifth floor. The doors slid open, and Zara stepped in with a practiced smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. She wore a crisp blazer in poison green and heels that clacked sharply against the tile as she turned to face the front.I didn’t even look at her. I kept my eyes forward, arms folded across my chest, the silence between us as thick as wet cement.Zara broke it first.“Well, well,” she drawled, “if it isn’t Miss ‘HR Can’t Touch Me.’ How does it feel being untouchable?”My mouth twitched, but I didn’t speak.She continued, her voice falsely sweet. “You know, I actually expected you to crack or cry maybe. I even thought you would run back to your little admin cave, but look at you. Strutting around like you’re royalty now, just because he made some public announcement.”I didn’t blink. "Keep my name out of your filthy mouth, Zara, before I bash your head in. Two-faced witch."I finally turned to face her. “Jealousy is

    I arrived at Mia’s apartment by noon the next day. The smell of baked goods and body spray hit me as soon as the door opened.“Finally!” Mia yanked me into a hug. “Took you long enough. Where’s your suitcase?”Just a small bag. It’s just for one night, remember?”Chloe appeared from the kitchen with a wine bottle in hand. “We already started drinking. Pick your glass girl.”“It’s still noon.”“Exactly.”I laughed and followed them in. After snacks, drinks, and a round of trash TV, Chloe turned down the volume and eyed me.“So... we need to talk about your boss or were you thinking the TV show will save you?”I blinked innocently. “What about him?”Mia leaned forward. “Don’t act dumb. Something’s been up. Your text replies are all short whenever you talk about him. Your smile in that last Insta story was entirely different.”Chloe nodded. “Girl, spill it. Did something happen? You spent the night at his place the other day and you are yet to tell us what went down.”I hesitated, then e
