Jacob

The curtains held the sun at bay, but I was already dressed, shirt buttons mismatched, shoes lopsided.

My trembling hands managed to button my shirt, a futile attempt to compose myself. I stifled the scream trying to claw its way out.

He couldn't see my weakness. I would never let him see my weakness. Because if he did, then he would do anything in his power to exploit that… or try to walk all over me.

Daniel lay on the bed, bare-chested, his hair a wild tangle. He bore no resemblance to the demon from my past. His eyes searched mine.

"Don't even…," I warned, voice shakier than intended. "Don't you dare say a fucking word? This is nothing but a screw-up, okay?"

He stood up and stepped closer. I retraced my steps.

My heart hammered like a drum, desperate to jump out of my chest.

"It was a mistake," I murmured, gazing at the floorboards. "End of story."

His silence was a noose, tightening around my chest. But he knew better than to argue.

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 86

    Jacob Each lie piled on my chest, an anchor chaining my soul. It was suffocating. I didn’t know if I could keep it up, but I continued, deceiving everyone… especially myself. The weight of it pressed down on me with every breath, every forced smile, every carefully constructed excuse. I had become a stranger in my own skin, a liar wearing the face of the man Nathan thought he knew. And Nathan… God, Nathan. He didn’t deserve this. He had always been my rock, my sanctuary. His arms were the only place I ever truly felt safe, where the world outside couldn’t reach me. His love was steady, unwavering, a lighthouse in the storm of my own making. But the allure of Daniel’s touch was like a raging fire I couldn’t resist. What was love when I craved the heat of another’s touch? The question haunted me, gnawing at the edges of my conscience. I had spent nights tangled in Nathan’s arms, his heartbeat steady against my ear, only to wake with Daniel’s name burning on my lips.

    NathanI had to confront him. Not just for Jacob’s sake, but for my sanity. Daniel’s re surfacing into Jacob’s life was like a slap in the face, a reminder of the pain he’d left behind. The moment I heard his name whispered between Jacob’s lips again, something inside me twisted… a raw, festering wound that had never fully healed. High school had been years ago, but the scars remained, jagged and unrelenting. Now, here I was, standing outside the quaint café, the kind with soft jazz humming through the speakers and the scent of roasted coffee beans thick in the air. The very first place I’d seen them years ago. It was weirdly quiet, the kind of place where conversations were held in hushed tones, where secrets lingered in the spaces between words. I felt like a fish out of water. My fingers twitched at my sides as I walked inside, the bell above the door chiming softly. The few people there, barely glanced up from their books or laptops, lost in their own worlds. None of

    JacobI convinced myself it had ended. These slip-ups with Daniel. That I’d broken free. Yet, there I was, hand hovering over Daniel's door handle, heart thundering. I didn't want to leave. “Just one more time”. I told myself. The golden door knob was cold under my fingertips, yet my skin burned flames I couldn’t understand. Three days had passed since I'd last seen Daniel… three days of forcing myself to stay away, to focus on Nathan, on our upcoming wedding, on the life I was supposed to want. But here I was, like a fly drawn to the loo, knowing I’d get burned but unable to resist the pull. I was meant to be with Nathan. In a few weeks, I'd become his husband. He was the epitome of comfort, the reliable rock I yearned for in a partner. But doubt whispered through my veins. Nathan was safe. He was the kind of love that built homes and made families, not the kind that set them ablaze.When I was with him, I could almost convince myself that this was enough. That stability was

    DanielOnce, I craved to shatter him. Now, all I wanted was for him choose me. To love me just as much as I loved him.He'd claimed it wasn't meant to happen. That he loved someone else. And I'd known. He didn't need to say the name every time we got together… Nathan lurked omnipresently, a shadow between Jake and me.Yet, Jacob kept coming back to me, unforced. He'd walk through my door, and each time, I'd lie to myself… this was it. The end. I would tell myself that he would never return. And I yearned to believe it. To accept the fact that he would never be mine. But truth be told, I wasn't supposed to be the 'other man'. Not anymore.Not after everything that had happened.After all the back and forth, the unspoken pleas for forgiveness, the way he'd let me touch him as if I was more than a mere slip-up… it didn't feel right.He'd say it was wrong. Yet, when my hands traveled down his back and his breath hitched, he didn't stop me. Instead, he drew me closer, biting my shoulder

    Nathan The dinner with Jacob was meant to be a getaway. Just a moment of peace from the all chaos. From all the drama happening around us… around him. The night at the hotel had stuck with me ever since. Jacob had convinced me he’d just gone there to have a chat with Daniel, and like a fool, I’d believed him. Because what was our relationship without trust? And I trusted him. He might have gone to the hotel, but that didn’t mean he did something with Daniel. Jacob would never do something like that. Not to me. Not after all these years of being together. The drama with Daniel, was merely a fleeting moment of confusion, and with time he would come back to his senses. He would realize what matters.That was what I wanted to believe, what I wanted for us, so this dinner was going to be a reminder of everything we shared. Only it didn’t last long, because Jacob was too focused on his phone to even notice his surroundings, let alone me. We’d gone back home, as quickly as we left,
