I couldn't breathe right.

The second I opened the door, I stilled.

Cameron is leaning so close to Lilah.

She didn't even flinch, nothing. He just lets him.

My stomach twist watching them. And somehow it felt like I couldn't breathe in enough air.

Just then, Hunter's words echoed in my head, loud.

It's not me you should be worried about but Cameron.

Did I miss out on something while we were together?

How didn't I see it?

What's his intention now?

To get to me?

    ***~~Jenaya~~***“The nerve of that man,” Snow says, cursing under her breath.I tilt my head. “He said he's sorry, that…. Emily forced him into doing it,” I let out, pouring wine into our glasses and fighting a good laugh.Snow rolls her eyes. “He's such a pathetic liar,” she huffs.“I know.” I say, half amused. “And a thief.” I extend the glass to her, she takes it.Snow shakes her head and takes a few decent sips from her glass. “So, did you tell Knox?”I give her a look. “Hell no.”Her brows lifts. “Why not?” She asks, studying me. “Knox will keep his lying ass away from you,”I inhale sharply. “I can handle Kelvin. It's nothing,”Her eyes lingers on me.I ease myself into the couch, taking a gentle sip. “Kelvin won't come close again, he's scared of Knox, that's for sure. And I'm sure he came back because he's gone broke, probably tasting water to see if I'd take him back.”Snow takes a deep breath. “He's such a dick,”I nod. “Well enough about Kelvin. How are you?” I take ano

    ***~~Meghan~~***Hunter joins me at the table, dragging his chair back and sinking into it, arms resting on the surface, his eyes trailing over me.I stab into my steak, desperate to distract myself from staring at his chest.He's sitting across from me, his shirt barely buttoned.It's…. distracting.I know what I said. I want to stick with it.But Hunter clearly thinks seducing me is going to change my mind.Otherwise why come down for dinner in a transparent tight shirt that has all his abs and tattoos in full display?I play around with my fork, keeping my head down.Not until I hear him say, “Eat up. I hired an excellent chef for us,”My head lifts slightly just in time to catch him staring.I take a tiny bite but his eyes doesn't leave me.I can feel his gaze and it's unsettling.Eventually, I turn to him, lifting my steak. “I'm eating now, aren't I?” I say, my voice drifting with sarcasm.He chuckles, a low sound that sits deep in my stomach. “How's it?”I stared. “What?”“The

    ***~~Jenaya~~***I grind my teeth and attempt to keep walking.But Kelvin runs up to me, stepping into my way.“Jenaya, please wait.” he says, voice low.I stare at the contact and wrench my hand free from him, creating space between us.“Don’t do that, ever.” I sneered, brewing inside.He throws his hands up, but his eyes don’t leave mine.Maybe he thinks if he holds my gaze long enough, I’ll melt. That I’ll understand and want to hear him out.That’s something that use to work on me but now those eyes makes me want to throw up.He disgusts me.I shift my gaze and straighten my spine.“Just hear me out,” he mutters. “I know what I did was awful but—“I turn to him sharply.“No, you’re awful. A pathetic thief and a liar.” I snap, hating how my voice cracks.That stops him for obvious reasons.I tilt my head. “You thought I won’t find out you stole my money?”He runs a hand through his hair, breathing out heavily. “Emily made me do it. She forced me to….”My ears throb with the rush o

    ***~~Meghan~~***Hunter pulls to a stop after two hours of driving.I take a deep breath. I can't believe I'm doing this.That I'm here, with him.He turns to me with this look that makes my heart beat faster every damn time.“No one knows you own this….” My eyes sweeps over the luxurious house. “This place?”He smirks.My eyes widens. “Are you trying to kidnap me?”He takes me in. “What if I say yes?” He lifts a brow, studying me.“We're leaving after weekend, Hunter.”He smiles. “As much as I want to lock you up in this house forever, I won't, sadly. Soren's the only one that knows.”I exhale in relief.I don't know, it's just…with Hunter every bets are off.I can't predict him, not often.His gaze pins me in place and the air left me in a rush. Why do I always fold when he does that?God.I already have a feeling this weekend is going to be a long one. Quickly, I peel my gaze off him unbuckle and step out of the car, as if my butt's on fire.I can hear Hunter throwing the trunk o

    ***~~Jenaya~~***Earlier this morning, I woke up to Knox's call, a reminder about me moving into the new apartment.He's been on about it the entire month.Now a car is waiting down the alley to chauffeur me there.The driver hurries toward me as he sees me coming, offering to take my box.I let him.I pull the car door open and slip in just as he pops the trunk open.My eyes scans the neighborhood, I can't believe I'm moving.I've been here half my entire life and right now it feels like I'm leaving that part of my life behind.I lean into the backseat before my emotions gets ahead of me.The driver slides in later and pull away, waving through the traffic. It's not long before he pulls into an estate.A pristine part of town.My head jerks up.I blink at the building, it's modern, serene and beautiful.I spot a small garden at a corner.The driver pulls my bag out of the trunk, attempting to help carry it in.“I will take it up from here,” I say in a soft tone, offering an apprecia

    ***~~Meghan~~***It's my day off, and I didn't expect to spend it Hunter.He had said he was on his way to his mom, that she's ill and somehow that has me bothered.But then my doorbell rings and I open my door to him and a look that has my stomach dipping low.I step back to let him in, no questions asked.He hasn't said a word, not in the past minutes he's been here.I watch him pull his phone out of his pocket, scrolls through, then presses it to his ear He doesn't say much. Just a few clipped words. Something about clearing his schedule for the next two days.I already know it's Iris.And I don't need to hear it from him to know that something is wrong.What the hell happened at his mom's?He hangs up just as I turn to look at him, shoulders rising and falling fast, like the adrenaline hasn't worn off yet.I study him, there's…something there. Something I've never seen on his face before.Not anger. Not sadness. It's…different, and it makes my stomach churn.He pulls his gaze o
