LOU

Ten minutes passed and I was still standing outside the suite with my luggage in hand, my gaze peeling at the closed door, waiting for it to open and reveal Jaxon apologizing for leaving me out here. A mistake on his part.

But the time stretched to fifteen, and my patience grew thin.

If Jaxon was trying to play a silly prank on me, then he should know by now that it isn't funny, or ideal.

The neat and posh-looking hallway had become uncomfortably silent, the only sound was my tiny movements

  • His To Ruin Again   What was that action?

    LOUEven in my sleep, I felt rough yet gentle hands graze the side of my cheek. The touch was so light that I almost thought it was the wind.Except the wind didn't have a particularly rich musky scent that was just too intoxicating to ignore. The wind isn't the man I have resented for the past five years.My eyes snapped open to see Jaxon hovering above me, his fingers resting on my cheek. He quickly retracted his hand when he realized I had caught him.“Why are you here?” I frowned, glaring at him as he slowly retracted from the bed, straightening and dipping his hands into his pockets.“The designers are here, I thought I told you to get ready for them?” He replied instead, and I glanced at the clock. It was almost 6pm. I had gotten into this room when it was still early, minutes before 2pm. If my supposed appointment with his designers was scheduled for the following hour, why did he come now?Four hours later, he didn't even bother to wake me up.I let out a scoff, “You could hav

    LOUTen minutes passed and I was still standing outside the suite with my luggage in hand, my gaze peeling at the closed door, waiting for it to open and reveal Jaxon apologizing for leaving me out here. A mistake on his part.But the time stretched to fifteen, and my patience grew thin.If Jaxon was trying to play a silly prank on me, then he should know by now that it isn't funny, or ideal.The neat and posh-looking hallway had become uncomfortably silent, the only sound was my tiny movements as the ache in my feet grew worse by the passing minute.Despite shifting my weight from one leg to the other, the pain only worsened.Jaxon was acting ridiculous. Was he seriously going to leave me standing here all day?There was only one way to find out, and to do that, I needed to swallow the lump of pride in my throat.Heaving a sigh, I moved closer to the door, placing a gentle knock on it. "Mr. Ryder... I'm still out here." I said loudly, informing him of my presence.Silence was the res

  • His To Ruin Again   Can I escape this man?

    LOU"I got a promotion."Those words relentlessly taunted my memories, even as I sat beside the airplane window, watching the clouds pass in what seemed like an endless field of white.My mind replayed that moment in Mark’s office over and over again. The way he smiled at me was an honest and unguarded smile. The way his eyes glistened with happiness, before worry.A knot tightened painfully in my chest, recalling how brutally I had chosen to lie.A promotion? Is that what I would call this, being in a plane with my ex and flying to another city to what? Be his plaything?Mark didn't deserve the lies I told. I should have told the truth and made him understand that Jaxon will never come between our families.I closed my eyes, pressing my forehead against the cool window.*I'm sorry.*The apology echoed inside my head, but there was no use for it, as long as I wasn't saying it to Mark. And the realization hurt more than I cared to admit.Deep in the pool of guilt and regret, everything

  • His To Ruin Again   Don't mess with my head

    LOUTwo days had passed since I left Jaxon's house, and I had spent every waking moment trying to figure out how I was supposed to talk to Mark about everything.I avoided the club like a plague, even though there's literally nothing waiting there for me, except an encounter with Jaxon, and that was the last thing I needed in my life right now.Once again, that bastard had taken my peace, filling my life with distress.How could I tell the man who has loved Riley and me without hesitation for the past two years, that I have been spending time with the one person I swore I would never let back into my life?*But I am just doing my job.*Yeah, my job is my ex-boyfriend’s private stripper. If I were in Mark's shoes, even I would not understand.Yet none of this is my fault, it's all on Jaxon trying to force his way into my life. This was supposed to be simple: dance at the club for money, raise enough money for my Grandma's medical bills, take care of my son, and cherish Mark.Not become

  • His To Ruin Again   Why did I lie to him?

    LOULike a heavy stone landing on my foot, I winced at Jaxon's question. Speculations spammed my mind, as fear of letting my biggest secret slip out to the one person who could never know, filled my bones.I spun around quickly, lowering my gaze to my phone lying on the polished floor.“Shit!” I cursed, reaching down to grab it, but the call had already disconnected.“Who were you talking to?”My head snapped in Jaxon's direction, awestruck by his audacity to pry into my personal business.“Mind your business, I came here to dance, not fill you in on my personal matters.”Jaxon's brows raised, “I was just curious, if you have to leave for your grandma, then I won't stop you.”I scoffed, feeling irritated by the switch up. A few minutes ago, he was making me dance until my feet couldn't take it anymore, and now suddenly he cares. Classic Jaxon, what exactly do I expect from a monster like him?“My family needs me, they always do. So if you don't mind, I want to leave.” I started, “I be

  • His To Ruin Again   Oh No!

    LOU“You are late.”My entire body stiffened at the sound of Jaxon’s voice.I turned slowly, my face turning blank. Jaxon stood at the foot of the staircase, one hand tucked casually into the pocket of his black trousers, the other holding a glass of amber liquor.His dark shirt was rolled up to his elbows, exposing strong forearms I once traced my fingers over like they were something sacred.I rolled my eyes at the thought, replying coldly, “I’m five minutes early.”Jaxon’s lips curved faintly. “Well, that's not good enough for me.”I let out a scoff, yeah, of course it wasn't, only a psychopath like him would think that way.Jaxon’s gaze slowly moved over me, from my shoes to the loose cream sweater I wore, then finally to my face, something unreadable flickering in his eyes.“You look tired,” he said.I almost laughed. “You dragged me here to comment on how I look or feel?”“Do not hate me for being concerned about my employee,” he said, smiling, but I had no time for his bullshit

    LOUFor a second, I honestly thought I misheard him.“Excuse me?” My brows furrowed even further, “That isn't possible.” I argued, but Jaxon's smile simply brightened.“It is indeed possible. You are now my personal stripper, you belong to me alone, and no one else.” He said, sounding weirdly posse

    LOUI pushed through the glass doors of the hospital just before the sun began to dip.My grip tightened around the strap of my bag as I headed toward the elevators, knowing the exact floor to find her.

  • His To Ruin Again   My Nemesis

    Lou’s POVThe moment I clicked the door shut behind me, every instinct in my body screamed at me to run down the hallway, past the stairs, through the back exit, out into the cold night air, and to just keep going until New York became a blur behind me.But I didn't, because running is what the old

    Jaxon’s POVThe bass in The Gilded Lily didn’t just play, no, it breathed. It was a living, pulsing beast of engineered acoustics designed to make people feel expensive and untethered. But as I sat in the center of the owner’s suite, the king of a kingdom built on neon and sin, all I felt was a hol
