CHAPTER 10

Lexi's POV

The sunlight slipped through the blinds, stabbing straight into my eyes. I blinked, groggy and aching as if I had fought a storm and lost.

My face felt tight. Puffy. Salt-streaked. As expected, I spent the night half tossing and turning and half crying; it’s the only time I get to do that. The sound of cars and buses passing outside was already giving me a headache, while the world continued moving along as if nothing had changed.

But something had.

I sat up slowly, every muscle in my body heavy, as if even gravity didn’t want me to get out of bed today.

I turned toward Aria’s bed, expecting to see her still curled beneath the covers, like she always was. But the blanket was neatly folded. It was empty.

A flicker of panic raced through my chest until I noticed a note on the nightstand. Her handwriting, loopy and artistic as always, brought me a moment of comfort.

“Had to meet someone—nothing serious! I made you coffee. Drink it before you turn into a grump. Love

  • It's Just Business    Fault lines

    Lexi's POV “You...Fucker...”The word slipped out before I could stop myself, they were sharp and venomous, but the moment it left my lips, I knew I’d hit a nerve.Brandon’s head snapped toward me like a whip,his cold, steel-gray eyes narrowing, pinning me in place with the kind of intensity that made the hairs on my whole body stand up.“Watch your mouth,” he said, low and dangerous. Not a shout, not even close. But the weight behind it made my chest tighten.I didn’t flinch. I refused to. My anger burned too hot for that. “Or what? You going to sue me for slander now, Mr. Wilson, or no no, you’ll call security on me? Oh, I know, I know, the worst…you'll add a morality clause to your precious contract?” I said adding air quotes.The muscles in his jaw ticked. He looked like he was reining himself in, like one more wrong word from me would set him off completely. “Maybe we should finish this conversation in private.”I laughed, it was ugly but small. “Why? What’s the point? There’s n

  • It's Just Business    Ambushed

    Lexi's POV I thought I would finally feel at peace again at the hospital.After everything, the endless nights by Aria’s bedside, the constant hum of monitors, the aching fear that she might not open her eyes, today had a fragile kind of peace. She was awake. Weak, yes, but awake. Talking. Smiling.That should have been enough.But my mind kept on going back to him.It was the morning after I sent Brandon away, and I told myself I’d won a small victory. I had drawn a line in the sand, made it clear that I wouldn’t be dragged like a pawn across his polished chessboard. But here I was again, sitting in Aria’s hospital room with the sunlight spilling weakly through the blinds, and my stomach knotted tighter with every tick of the clock.I'm the one who sent him away, so why was I feeling this way?"Aria," I said, pulling her off the magazine she was reading. She looked at me with those brown eyes of hers, although tired, she still smiled. "Yes, Lexi." "I'm going to get some coffee. Is

  • It's Just Business    Fractured Control

    Brandon's POV The office was silent, apart from the low hum of the city below bleeding through the floor-to-ceiling windows. I should’ve been satisfied, things were moving as planned. The photo leak, although catching me off guard, had turned a liability into an advantage. When I got the news earlier, I was livid until Melinda had suggested it was a good thing, and now the world believed in the engagement and story more than ever; they believed in us. That was the point of all of this. The plan was going better than ever. And work should be what consumed every second of my thoughts and the way forward since it was already out there. But all I could hear, replaying in my head, over and over again was her voice when she told me to leave. Her voice...sharp, clipped, trembling with rage, it lingered like a splinter under my skin."You used my pain for your game. Get out."She was angry. Really angry.Her hazel eyes had burned into me like I was the very enemy she’d sworn off letting cl

  • It's Just Business    "Get Out"

    Lexi's POV I hadn’t expected silence to feel this loud.The morning sun cut weakly through the hospital blinds, glinting off Aria's bed. I opened my eyes from the couch I had laid on yesterday. I proceeded to stand up and feel the blanket slowly come off me. I couldn't remember sleeping off yesterday. I remember sitting down and watching Aria. When had Brandon left, and was he the one who put the blanket on me? He was gone again, just like that. No explanation, no note, just the faint lingering scent of his cologne and the half-heat of his presence pressed into the chair he had occupied all night.My chest tightened. Don’t think about it. Don’t think about him.It had been a full day since Aria finally opened her eyes, her smile faint but there, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I could breathe again. She was still weak, still tethered to machines, but she was here. She was fighting. That should’ve been enough to keep me calm.But my phone wouldn’t stop buzzing. I pi

  • It's Just Business    Cracks in the Cold

    Lexi's POV The hum of machines was the first thing I heard when my eyes flickered open. For a moment, I thought I was still in that dreamlike haze…where my body had collapsed into his, where I’d let myself be weak in the arms of a man I shouldn’t trust nor stand. But reality settled quickly and I quickly came back to my senses.I immediately scanned the room and the chair at the corner of the room he sat on was empty. The weight that had grounded me last night was gone. Only a lukewarm cup of coffee sat on the table beside me, the temperature marking it had been waiting for me for a while. I couldn’t bring myself to let go of the cup. It was the only proof he’d been here, that he hadn’t just dissolved into the shadows like some image or memory my imagination or mind conjured in the long hours of waiting. But the fact was...Brandon was gone.Of course he was.I told myself I should be relieved, that his absence was easier and safer. But a small, shameful part of me twisted at the em

  • It's Just Business    A weight I didn't expect

    Brandon's POV The weight of her had stayed with me long after she pulled away. And long after we left the hallway.Her body had folded into mine in the hallway, raw, shaking, her sobs tearing through the silence like glass shattering on the floor. I should never have followed her out; I hadn’t known what to do. I didn't know what to say. And that was the most infuriating part—me, the man who had spent years solving impossible problems with ruthless precision, standing there with a woman in my arms and not a single answer in reach.Now, hours later, I still felt her trembling body imprinted against me. My shirt clung to her tears; I hadn’t bothered to change out of it yet. It should have disgusted me. It should have reminded me of weakness. I shouldn't even still be here.Instead, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.Her.Alexis Torres.It was chaos. I hated chaos.I leaned back in the chair I’d taken in the corner of Aria’s recovery room. She was still unconscious, machines keeping track
