I press the pillow over my head, pushing down until the feathers mash against my ears, but Owen’s voice still bleeds through the wood of the door like a persistent leak.

"Sydney, please. Just a few bites. I’m leaving it right here."

I squeeze my eyes shut. It’s been two days since I left that poli

    "Owen... you need to cut yourself some slack," she says gently, reaching up to lightly brush her thumb against my cheekbone. "You don't have to be the invincible counselor right now. You just lost your mom, honey. I know how much she meant to you. I know how much you loved her, and I know how hard y

    I watch Sydney walk away from me, her spine perfectly straight, her head held high like a queen marching out of a ruined kingdom. Her words—sharp, icy, and dripping with disgust that makes my skin crawl—still echo in the quiet space of the dining room. "While you're busy playing love and playing h

    My heart drops into my shoes, a sickening wave of nausea swirling in my stomach. He sharply pulls away after a beat, his hands coming up to grip her shoulders, his face a mix of shock and discomfort. "Camille, what are you doing here? How did you even get past the gates?" "Oh, Owen, I came the sec

    I lean in across the dark wood, my jaw tight, waiting for the genius to drop some mind-blowing corporate strategy. Owen slides his glass entirely out of the way, his eyes tracking mine with a sudden, sharp intensity. "The first thing we need to do," he says, leaning his forearms on the table, "is p

    I don't wait to hear another word. A blinding, white-hot rush of pure adrenaline and rage explodes in my chest. Before I even realize what I’m doing, my arm whips forward. I throw my phone across the bedroom with every ounce of strength I have left. It hits the far drywall with a sickening smack,

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 192

    I sit on the edge of the mattress, the silence of my locked bedroom pressing in from all sides. My scalp still burns from where I was aggressively pulling at the tangles earlier, but I barely care. I slowly run a hand through my hair, letting out a long breath that shudders against my teeth. The r

    "You have to go to him, Syd. You have to talk to Owen Kingston today and try to get him to back you up. After you just bolted away the other day, he didn't appreciate the waste of time and thought you weren't even ready for the case. You have to prove otherwise." I wipe a stray tear that’s managed

Your husband has frozen the accounts." Hold up... I stare at him, stunned. "He did what? Those are my personal accounts, Mr. Hend

    "That’ll be forty-eight dollars, ma'am," the cashier says, barely looking up from his scanner. I slide my primary card through the reader like I've done a million times, but instead of the familiar beep of approval, the machine emits a harsh, flat tone. "Declined," the cashier mutters, finally mak
