My hands were clenched tightly in front of me, fingers twisted together like they could hold back the storm in my chest.

The alley was more quieter than I had expected, I glanced left, then right.

Still no one. Not even the people I came for were in sight, after all,

The message had been clear: “Be here in thirty. Or we'll have to visit your house.

And now? Here I am only to see nothing except for dirt and the smell of oil-soaked concrete.

I took a shaky breath and shifted my weight, every instinct screaming that I shouldn't be here alone. Of course I shouldn't,

I’d snuck out right under Tristan’s nose. So I had to make it back before he even noticed I was gone. The last thing I needed was him sniffing around this part of my life. Assuming he didn’t already know. That man had eyes everywhere after all.

After what felt like the longest five minutes I eventually heard a slow, deliberate footsteps behind me and I turned sharply to see him emerging from somewhere around the cor

  • His Reluctant Bride: Contracted To My Enemy    Messy

    Liora“What have you been meaning to tell me?” I asked with a faint smile tugging at my lips to hide my curiosity.“Umm…” He paused, his gaze shifting for a moment as if searching for an escape route. “Nothing… it’s nothing. Let’s just eat.”I narrowed my eyes slightly, tilting my head. He was avoiding eye contact, busying himself with the cutlery like it suddenly required all his attention. For someone who claimed to have nothing to say, he looked way too uncomfortable.He definitely had something to say.But if he wasn’t going to talk, I wasn’t going to pry as well for the fact that I’d had enough of chasing unspoken words.So I sighed softly, picked up my fork, and turned my attention to the steaming food in front of me instead.The rest of lunch went by quietly. We didn’t talk much, only when it felt necessary. Still, it wasn’t uncomfortable silence… just one of those quiet moments where words didn’t really seem needed.By the time we were done, he paid the bill and we headed bac

    LioraI blinked, still half processing what he’d just said. A date? With him? “Wait, what?” I managed, but he was already circling around to my side of the car.He opened my door like some kind of gentleman from an old drama and leaned slightly forward. “Come on. Don’t make me look like a creep standing here talking to myself.”I stared at him, still frozen in place. “But I didn't agree to this”He smiled, one of those small, annoyingly confident smiles that always seemed to have a story behind them. “That’s right. But you still got in the car with me.”Yes, which leads to the question; why the hell didn't I walk away but walk right into his car instead? Regardless, that doesn't mean I have this in my intention So I rolled my eyes, mattered “dick” under my breath before stepping out anyway. The restaurant sign glowed softly above the entrance, warm light spilling out through the glass doors. It looked... nice. Way too nice for something casual.Inside, the scent of something rich a

    LioraWhen I turned to him, he was already watching me quietly.“Now that I’m really thinking about it…” I paused, searching his face. “It’s been you all along. Isn’t it?”He didn’t say anything right away. Though I could see the faint tension in his jaw, the way his hand gripped the wheel just a little tighter. He doesn't look like he'll be saying anything, so I went on“You really didn’t think I’d notice?” A small, tired smile slipped out of me.He exhaled, leaning back in his seat. “You think too much,” he said in an almost teasing voice but I could tell he was trying to deflect.Thus, I let out a soft laugh that wasn’t really a laugh. “Maybe I do. But I’m not wrong, am I?”He turned his head away, eyes on the road, refusing to meet mine. That alone was the answer I needed.I looked at him for a few more seconds before whispering, “Why didn’t you just tell me?”He didn’t answer that either. Just gave a faint, crooked smile that looked more like surrender than denial.So I looked aw

    Tristan After leaving Florence’s apartment, I went straight to the office. I figured burying myself in work would help take the edge off the irritation she left me with.But when I got there and saw there wasn’t much to do, I found myself reaching for my phone instead.I sent Liora a quick text, nothing serious, just a small check-in. But to my surprise, she replied faster than I expected. I actually smiled, catching myself mid-thought.So I sent another message, asking where she was considering the facts that she’d mentioned earlier that she was meeting her friends this morning, but I didn’t think she’d tell me her exact location.Still, she did. I just didn't think she'll visit the company soon. Maybe I was just in a good mood, or maybe I just wanted to see her but before I could talk myself out of it, I told Dante to handle things at the office and got in the car.I drove down to the company, parked right outside, and waited.It didn’t take long before she appeared, and the pure

    LioraI left the coffee shop about an hour later.Cassie and Jasmine had gone off in their truck. Jasmine didn’t offer me a ride today, which I was oddly grateful for.I caught a taxi straight to the company instead of heading home.There were still one or two things I needed to finish up before I could call it a day.After paying the driver, I clutched my purse, took a deep breath in, then out, before heading toward the gate.It wasn’t locked like the last time. The place looked surprisingly clean, almost unrecognizable which made me wonder just how much work those cleaners had put in.But thinking about it.. it should've been getting dirty again. Right?I stepped inside, taking in the sight of the compound. Even the mold that used to creep along the corners of the walls was gone. Someone had clearly taken care of the place.But… who?The question followed me as I made my way toward the building. The floors were spotless, the glass panes gleaming faintly in the afternoon sun.

  • His Reluctant Bride: Contracted To My Enemy    Cowardice

    Tristan I knocked twice on the door and waited for it to open from the inside.A quick glance at my wristwatch told me it was a few minutes past 9 a.m. earlier than I usually showed up in any other places other than work on work days, but I couldn’t wait any longer.The door opened after only a few seconds, swinging wide enough for me to see her standing there.She didn’t have that usual scowl or that guarded anger on her face which was, honestly, very untypical of her.Still, I couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at my lips. “Good morning, Mrs. Hayes.”Her eyes flicked up to mine, tired at first but when they took in my appearance, she immediately went for the door to close it but I read through her actions, swiftly extending my hand to prevent that action. At least she's not fainting this time around.Her eyebrows were all drawn up as she glared daggers at my hand, which was preventing her from closing the door. Then she lifted her gaze and looked me in the eye, “Let go of th
