Daniel’s Pov

My mind raced in the car driving to the crack house to meet up Jake who’s waiting there for me.

Maya was my younger sister, who’d turned to drugs after my mom died from cancer. She said she’d felt all alone and needed to quiet the noise in her head.

I’ve tried everything to get her clean but she kept going back. I hit the steering wheel out of frustration. She was the only family I had, and I wasn’t going to let her die.

I drove as fast as I could to get there in time, and didn't

  • I Can’t Love You In The Dark   Chapter 22

    Daniel’s PovThe bright lights of the rehab place hummed. It was a big change from the sunny Miami outside. I watched Maya walk through the doors. Her shoulders were a bit slumped, but she walked steady. I gave her a thumbs-up. I tried to look strong, but my stomach twisted. She looked back, a small, scared smile on her face. Then she was gone.I stood there for a bit. The doors closed with a soft sound. My little sister. Always my little sister. Since Mom died, it was just us, suddenly I was the man of the house, even though I was still a kid. I remembered trying to make her breakfast, burning the toast, but she ate it anyway, smiling through the smoke. I remembered helping her with homework I barely understood. Tucking her in at night. Checking her fever. It was always me, making sure she was okay, trying to fill the big hole Mom left."Do you really think this time will be different, Danny?" Maya had asked me earlier. Her voice was small, her eyes on the hospital gown on the bed.

  • I Can’t Love You In The Dark   Chapter 21

    SIENNA’S POVWhen Evan and I first got married, I thought it would last forever. He was charming, of course, that's how they get you. He promised a perfect life. I was young and wanted to build something good. I put his job first, his needs, his wants. My own dreams, my art, slowly disappeared. The twins came almost immediately, so being a wife and a mom became my primary goals. I told myself his little put-downs were just stress, I missed the small changes, how he stopped giving compliments, how his touch became boring, sex life got boring. I said it was normal for a long marriage.Then came the bigger house, more work trips, and more distance. He stopped asking about my day. He barely looked at my paintings, he'd say I was too clingy. The hints became clear: a different perfume, a hotel receipt, vague answers about work dinners. I chose to believe his lies, to hold onto our perfect family, even as it fell apart. I thought I was doing it for the kids, so they'd have a stable home.

    Sienna's PoVThe kitchen smelled like bacon and coffee. Sunlight poured in as I flipped pancakes, my hips swaying to Madonna's Material Girl. The music thumped through me, my bare feet tapping on the floor. My loose tank top kept slipping off my shoulder, and my shorts rode up my thighs. I felt alive. I still remembered Daniel's touch, his lips, his body making me forget everything. But the newspapers calling me a gold-digger, those creepy notes, and Zoe's anger, they kept trying to ruin my happiness. The twins stomped downstairs. Zoe's sneakers were loud, Leo's socks shuffled. I turned, smiling, but Zoe's eyes narrowed, and her lips curled. "Material Girl, huh?" she sneered, dropping her backpack on the counter. "Fits you, Mom. Chasing that rich guy's money, right?" Her voice was sharp and teasing, like she wanted to hurt me.My pancake spatula froze in mid-air. My heart sank. Her words hit me like a slap. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. My throat was tight— I was t

    Daniel's povMy office was quiet, the Miami city lights shining outside, but my mind was a total mess. I sat at my desk, staring at the scary photo Sienna found under her door. It was a blurry newspaper picture of us kissing, with "Leave him" written on it in red. My stomach twisted. I felt angry and guilty for dragging her into this mess. I wanted to be the guy who kept her safe, who made her feel secure, but someone was trying to scare her, and I had no idea who. My heart ached for her. I still remembered how warm she felt last night; her soft sounds, her body shaking—but her fear was stronger, and it was tearing me apart. Could I protect her, or was I the one putting her in danger?Jake leaned against my desk, wearing a loose hoodie. His laptop was open, and his fingers moved quickly. "The phone that sent the photo is a burner phone," he said, his voice sharp and business-like. "No name, no way to track it, just a signal near downtown." His eyes looked at me, like he knew I was ba

    Sienna’s PovHe gently put me on the bed and kept kissing me. His hands moved all over my body, like he was learning it. He took off my shirt, and my nipples were hard."God, you're perfect!" he groaned.He immediately started sucking and biting one of my nipples while his hand played with the other. He switched between them, and I almost fainted from how good it felt. I knew then that this was what I had been missing.He moved his mouth and kissed me from my neck down to my belly button, then back up to my neck. He licked and bit me, leaving marks to show I was his.I made soft noises as he left marks all over my body. He kissed his way to my waist line and knelt down, slowly pulling off my shorts to show my clean-shaved pussy"Looks like you planned this, Si," he joked.He took his time to pleasure me, using his tongue slowly on my pussy, and I started to moan. This went on for a while before he used his hand to open it up and saw how beautiful it was inside.He went back in, and hi

    Daniel's POVLila's footsteps faded, and the door softly closed, leaving me and Sienna in her living room. The air felt heavy, like a fight was about to happen. Her apartment smelled like paint and coffee, and a half-finished painting in the corner seemed to show how much she hurt. She stood by the couch, arms crossed, her dark eyes fixed on me. They looked sharp with anger but also soft with pain. My chest felt heavy, filled with guilt for hiding Maya's problems and for letting the news tear Sienna apart. I wanted to hold her, feel her close, and hear her voice be gentle again, but the memory of her slamming the door in my face was still fresh. Could I make her trust me again, or was this my last chance?She broke the silence, her voice sharp. "What do you want, Daniel?" She leaned against the couch, her sweater loose but clinging to her. Her lips were tight, like she was holding back a scream.I stepped closer, holding my hands out. "I'm sorry, Sienna. I messed up badly. I didn't m
