I quickly cleaned up the office, tidying up every stray piece of paper, aligning pens, and ensuring the files were perfectly organized. A soft smile tugged at my lips, the satisfaction of a job well done warming me from the inside. I knew he would appreciate the effort, or at least I hoped he would.

I carried myself over to my small desk, the familiar click of my shoes against the polished floor accompanying my thoughts. Settling down, I checked through the files, ensuring everything was in ord

  • IT STARTED WITH A LIE AND ENDED WITH US.   Chapter 55

    Everything else in the room seems to have disappeared the moment Bianca's gaze held Justin's. Her heart drummed in a rhythm only Justin could lead, and every second counting was a moment away from disaster.She wanted to run to him, hug him, kiss him and tell him how much she missed him. She wanted to tell him all the good things that happened to her within their five years of being apart and maybe tell him about her greatest joy.But she couldn't, because he's not the same man she knew back then. Everything changed that night, and it would be a miracle if he still feels something for her.Bianca was pulled out of her trance by Grandpa Josh's gentle tug on her arm. With a forced smile, she moved and let Grandpa Josh lead her further into the room."Isn't that Mr Josh McKenzie?" Arian asked from the side, her eyes all over Bianca and she walked away."Yes, that's him....the well number one world-class businessman" Mrs Miller added, clearly knowledgeable about McKenzie."I didn't know

    That evening, Bianca, Monica and Kiara spent their time playing. Not like the duo wanted to play children's play but Kiara made them do it anyways.As the night grew older, Kiara's bed time approached. Bianca as always, tugged her into her bed and sang her a lullaby. As gentle and soothing as ever, Kiara found herself drowning in her world of princesses and Prince charming. And with a good night kiss from Bianca, nothing felt better than having the sweetest dreams.Monica finally beats her good-byes, and Bianca gets herself ready for bed. But sleep was far from her so she decided to make some coffee.Downstairs, Grandpa Josh was busy working on his phone.

    I woke to a bright morning. My body ached, but my chest was warm with the memory of last night.We did it. We finally gave our love a name.Smiling, I turned, eyes half-closed, reaching for him—only to fall into cold sheets.My heart stopped. I blinked fast, the bed beside me empty.Panic clawed at my throat as I sat up, searching—until I saw him.He was sitting on the couch near the window, shoulders tense, eyes fixed somewhere beyond the glass.Those eyes weren’t the ones that had looked at me with love hours ago. They were ice now—distant, unreadable.“Sit,” he said.It wasn’t a request.My knees hit the edge of the bed, and I sank down before I even realized I’d obeyed. My palms were slick with sweat.“Why?” His voice was quiet, but it sliced through me. His gaze didn’t waver.I opened my mouth, but nothing came. The words caught, useless, on my tongue.“I… I’m sorry,” I managed. My voice cracked. Tears blurred my vision.The next sound was the crash of glass. He’d hurled the flow

    Amidst the noisy room, all my senses were focused on the man seated before me. The way he moved to the sound of the music, how peaceful and happy he was. This was my first time seeing this carefree nature of his.I felt my heart twist inside, not of pain but of excessive joy that came with the thought of having to do things with him.I was all focused on him when he suddenly grabbed my wrist and yanked me out of my seat and into the dancing floor."W-what are you doing?""Let dance" He let go of my hand and began turning round and round, a scattered way of dancing.I couldn't believe he was the same calm, composed and elegant looking man I knew before. He's changed so much, I changed him but in a good way.My vision blurred with tears, I quickly blinked it away. I want to have this moment and let it stick to my memory as much as I can.It was all loud and wild until the music died down. Then a slow sound began playing.As if it knew what I wanted. Justin was standing there, a few f

    Unwillingly, I stepped outside, my feet dragging against the tiled floor as if every movement was being weighed down by my own hesitation. I stood at the door, torn between choices, unsure if I should walk away or stay and wait for him. The silence around me was loud—louder than my thoughts.Every

    I stepped out of the bath, my skin still tingling from the warmth of the water, wrapped snugly in a towel—his towel. It was soft, still carrying the faintest trace of his scent, though clean enough to use. Luckily for me, I had found it folded neatly in one of his drawers. I didn’t ask for permissi

    The car drove away, swerving into a road I had never set foot—or wheels—on before. It stretched ahead like a forgotten path, one swallowed by trees and shadows. I had no idea where we were headed, and worse, I doubted I’d ever be able to retrace my steps if things took a turn for the worst. If the

    We walked through the crowded club, bodies pressed against one another in wild rhythm, the air thick with the scent of alcohol, sweat, and perfume.
