His Perfect Mistake Chapter 44 - I said No!
Daniel started with the money. He didn’t bring it up directly, of course, because that would have been too obvious. Instead, he let it sit in the space between them, mentioned casually over the first drink as though it had just occurred to him. “You know, when I covered that cheque, I never expected anything back. I want you to know that. I did it because you needed help, and that was enough for me.”Adam nodded slowly, eyes on the table. “I know.”Daniel watched him for a moment, then leaned back and tried a different angle. “I thought we were friends, Adam. I really did. I still do.”“We are friends,” Adam said quietly.“Then help me understand what’s changed.” Daniel’s voice was soft, almost wounded. “A few weeks ago, you would have trusted me with anything. Now you won’t even look at me.”Adam did look at him then, and something in his expression was steadier than Daniel had seen before. “A few weeks ago, you asked for a scheduling report. Now you’re asking for access credentials
His Perfect Mistake Chapter 43 - Something that actually matters.
“I need something more this time,” Daniel said.He kept his voice light, almost casual, the way he always did. They were sitting in the same corner booth, the same low lighting, the same half-empty glasses between them. It was supposed to feel familiar.Adam didn’t touch his drink.Daniel leaned forward slightly, elbows on the table, closing the distance in a way that felt friendly. “It’s not a big thing. My client needs access to a restricted internal drive before a bid closes.”Adam looked at him for a long moment. His hands were flat on the table, still, and his expression hadn’t changed much since Daniel had started talking.Daniel watched him carefully, reading the silence for what it was. He’d known this was coming. Adam had been pulling back for days now, slower to respond, quicker to leave, less willing to meet his eyes. The flagged report had rattled him more than Daniel had expected, and Daniel had spent the last week doing damage control, reassuring him, smoothing things ov
His Perfect Mistake Chapter 42 - No way back.
Bianca wasn't able to sleep properly, she lay in the dark of her room in the Anderson mansion, staring at the ceiling, turning the sentence over in her mind like something she could hold up to the light and examine. “I don't like watching him look at you like that." She spent weeks teaching herself to read Ethan Anderson. The careful half-smiles, the deliberate pauses. The silences that carried more than words ever did. She knew what he sounded like when he was performing, when he was deflecting, when he was giving someone the answer they expected so he could move on to the next thing. She'd learned the rhythm of it, the way he kept himself tucked behind walls he'd spent years building. That sentence hadn't come from behind a wall. It had come out before he'd decided to say it. She'd heard the slip in his voice, seen the way he'd looked away immediately after, as if the words had escaped and he was already trying to chase them back. And then, when she'd asked him what he m
His Perfect Mistake Chapter 41 - Cutting in.
Ethan's hand settled against Bianca's back like it belonged there. The partner switch had worked in his favor — a coincidence of tradition he hadn't planned but had taken full advantage of anyway. No one in the room would question it. He was her partner for the evening, the man she was publicly engaged to, the one everyone expected her to dance with. Stepping in was well within his rights. That didn't explain the tightness in his jaw or the way his fingers pressed a little more firmly than the dance required. Bianca looked up at him as they moved, her expression caught somewhere between surprise and something he couldn't read. She didn't say anything. Neither did he. The orchestra played on. For the first time since they'd started this arrangement, he was holding her with no performance required. It was just the two of them, moving in slow circles, surrounded by people who didn't matter. Something in his chest loosened that he slipped past the careful contr
His Perfect Mistake Chapter 40 - The wedding.
Chapter 40 — The Wedding The wedding was everything Bianca expected and nothing she was prepared for. The venue was a private estate on the outskirts of Dubai, the kind of place that had been in the same family for generations and showed no signs of leaving it. Gardens stretched in every direction, lit with lanterns and strung with soft white lights. A live orchestra played near the center of the courtyard, and guests moved between tables with the easy familiarity of people who had known each other for years. Bianca stood beside Ethan near the entrance, smiling for a photograph she hadn't been asked to pose for. The photographer had simply appeared, camera raised, and neither of them had been given a chance to object. "One more," the photographer said. "Closer, please." Ethan shifted slightly. His shoulder brushed hers. His hand found the small of her back, light and deliberate, exactly where it was supposed to be. The camera clicked. "Perfect," the pho
His Perfect Mistake Chapter 39 - Awkward moments.
The ballroom on the second floor of the Anderson mansion had been transformed. The furniture had been pushed to the walls, the heavy curtains drawn back to let in the late afternoon light, and a portable speaker sat on a small table near the windows, playing something slow and orchestral. Flora, the instructor, stood in the center of the floor with her hands clasped behind her back, waiting. Bianca stood opposite Ethan, close enough to see the faint shadow of a beard along his jaw. He looked tired. He'd been quiet all day, in a way that suggested he was thinking about something. "We'll start with posture," Flora said. "Ethan, right hand on her back. Not too high. Not too low. Just above the waist." Ethan stepped closer. His hand settled against Bianca's lower back, warm through the fabric of her dress. She felt the pressure of his palm, steady and deliberate. "Good," Flora said. "Bianca, left hand on his shoulder.
