Maya

I came to work early slid into my seat quietly, trying to breathe past the tight feeling in my chest. I turned on the monitor and pretended to scroll through emails, but my gaze kept betraying me.

It went to him. Roman.

Through the glass wall of his office, I could see him. Leaning against his desk, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a phone to his ear, his brows drawn.

His voice was low, muffled by the glass, but the intensity in his posture said more than words ever could. I hated that I noticed that. I hated that I cared enough to notice at all.

I hadn't spoken to him since our last interaction. The folder he tossed me was still sitting unopened in the drawer beneath my desk. Childish? Maybe. But I hadn't decided how to feel about any of this yet—him being here, working under my father's name, walking around like this wasn't insane.

Because it was. It was insane.

Why was he even here? Who sent him? What was he planning?

And more importantly—why did a tiny part of me fee

  • His For A Night   Chapter 70

    MayaBeing with Roman always makes me forget my worries. With him, it feels like nothing else exists in the world. I knew I made the right decision by coming to him after that ugly argument with my father—he had a way of making everything feel lighter, even when my chest was heavy. I just don't know when my father will ever learn to accept me the way I am without expecting me to be the perfect reflection of himself.The car slowed to a stop in front of the house. Roman shifted his hand on the wheel and looked at me. "Do you want me to walk you in?"I unbuckled my seat belt, shaking my head. "No. I'll be fine."Well, fine enough. I had already decided I wasn't going to give a damn about my father's control anymore. I'd ignored his constant calls and texts demanding to know where I was. Tonight, I made it upon myself to tell him about Roman. All of it.Roman reached over, his warm hand squeezing mine. His gaze was serious. "Remember what I said nothing should beat you into doing what yo

    Roman"Fucking bastard," I muttered under my breath, pacing across the living room.Palermo had just replaced half of the staff at Silver Charm Club without informing me. Even Tonny. The same Tonny Maya nearly tore me apart for when I fired him for ditching his post for a few lousy hours.This wasn't coincidence. Palermo was testing me.I dragged a hand through my hair, forcing the tension in my chest down before I turned to Leo. He was sprawled on the couch, but his eyes tracked me carefully, sharp and alert."It looks like Palermo is getting suspicious of me," Leo leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "You knew this day would come. He doesn't let anyone sit too close without trying to smell the rot.""Yeah," I snapped, though my anger wasn't at him. "But replacing Tonny? Replacing all of them? He's giving me signals."The words tasted bitter. I'd spent years weaving my way into Palermo's world, keeping my blade hidden under the table. And now the bastard was shifting the

    MayaI stood in front of the desk to my father's study room, flipping through a stack of documents spread across the mahogany desk.He wouldn't be back until tomorrow—at least that's what he'd told me when he called last night. He claimed the company needed him, that he couldn't afford to leave things unattended. My mom would still be around. That was fine by me. If he wasn't around, I could dig without him breathing down my neck.Most of what I found so far was the usual: contracts, supply orders, polished reports that said a lot without really saying anything. But I didn't stop. My fingers kept turning page after page, scanning for anything that felt off. Whenever something caught my attention—a figure that didn't match up, a name I didn't recognize, I snapped a picture with my phone, tucking the evidence away for later.I was careful not to leave a mess. My father had a way of noticing when even a paperclip was out of place.I pressed the doorbell and stepped back, folding my arms

    MayaI pushed the office door open, and my eyes instantly met Roman's who stood behind the desk, his gaze locking onto mine the second I stepped in."Good morning," I said, trying not to smile.He didn't respond—not with words anyway. He took a slow step forward, closing the distance between us. His hands snaked around my waist, pulling me gently to him. Then, with a soft brush of his fingers, he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear."Good morning," he murmured, eyes lingering on my face. "How was your night?""It was great," I said, casually. "Slept like a baby."A smirk tugged at his lips. "Are you trying to tempt me? Because you didn't sleep over at mine."I chuckled softly, even though part of me wished I had. After everything he told me last night—the truth about Palermo, his parents, the revenge. I had wanted to stay. To hold him. To let him hold me.But I didn't. Didn't want to leave the house empty. So I went back home. I reached up and adjusted the knot of his tie, smoothin

    RomanShe was still asleep, lying naked under the covers. The sheet had slipped halfway down her back, and her arm was stretched across the spot where I'd been lying moments ago.I couldn't stop looking at her. Everything about earlier kept replaying in my head. The way she touched me. The way she looked at me when I finally said the damn words I'd been holding back for too long.I love you.I didn't plan to say it. Hell, I'd tried to ignore it, bury it, act like it wasn't there. But it was. It had been there for a while. I'd just been too stubborn to admit it.And now? It was out. No going back.Maya shifted a little, then her eyes fluttered open, her gaze landing on me."Hey," she said, her voice still thick with sleep.I gave a half-smile. "Who sleeps this soundly in broad daylight?"She rolled onto her side, tugging the sheets higher around her chest with a grin. "Someone who got completely wrecked by her incredibly arrogant lover."I chuckled under my breath. "I aim to please.""

    MayaFor a second, I didn't breathe. My body had melted against his without permission, heart beating far too loud, too fast. But then clarity cut through the haze like a knife. I pushed myself off him."Don't," I sat up, placing distance between us on the bed, even though every part of me screamed to do the opposite. "Don't say those things if you don't mean them."His brows drew together. "I just told you I missed you—""Missing someone doesn't mean love," I snapped softly, clutching the edge of the bed like it could anchor me. "It doesn't mean anything... not when you won't even admit what this is between us."He exhaled sharply and sat up too, running a hand through his hair. "Maya...""No," I cut in. I promised myself I wouldn't let him pull me into this again—not until I know he actually feels something real. "I've been pulled into your world, Roman," I continued, more quietly now. "And I didn't ask for it. But I'm here. And my life is turning upside down. My family is hiding
