I know itās been over two weeks since the last update, and I just wanted to say thank you for your patience. I havenāt abandoned this story ā Iāve been taking my time to make sure the next chapters come exactly the way they deserve to.

The update is coming very soon.
Thank you for staying. Thank you for believing in this story.
Twenty FourRedAt exactly 3 p.m., I ended the class. I didnāt get carried away discussing beautiful poems; I had something else in mind. Today, Iām going to make Michael some mutton soup.At the orphanage where I grew up, the matron would make us mutton soup once in a while. It always felt like Christmas when we had mutton soup. As I grew up, I learnt the recipe from her before I left the orphanage, and today Iām going to make it for Michael. Itās going to be a surprise.I had to do some crazy convincing before I was allowed to go back to my place. I told him I was going back to get some stuff. He asked what the stuff was and said he would buy me new ones, but I refused. I stood firm on my words that I was going back to my place, and he finally let me today.I hurried out of the class, absentmindedly responding to greetings in the hall. I made a beeline straight to my office, making sure not to be distracted. I grabbed my stuff and locked up my office. I had to hurry home and go groc
Michael I stepped out of the car with a wide grin on my face.āItās going to be a good day, Ilya,ā I said, patting my personal assistant on the shoulder as I walked into the company.āGood morning, Mr. Dew.ā I didnāt pay attention to the lady greeting me; I just kept walking. She matched my stride, step by step, walking beside me.āSir, Mr. Dove is not available right now,ā she said, trying to stop me from going into the office.āGet her out of my face, Ilya.ā Ilya grabbed her and pulled her away from me. I stepped into the office. My father and Anthony Dove were sitting there; their eyes immediately turned to me.āHello, Father,ā I smiled at him. His jaw clenched as we held eye contact. The little girl who had tried to stop me from entering the office soon barged in, Ilya in her tow.āIām sorry, sir. I tried to stop him.ā With a wave of his hand, Anthony dismissed her. I glanced at him before taking a seat.āI didnāt invite you to sit,ā his tone came out g

Red . The energy around him felt off, I found myself stepping backward something that obviously displease him , he stares at my leg for a second before looking back at me , something flashed in his eyes , a look , a vibe something I have never seen in him before or maybe just maybe it has always been there and he hid it perfectly well from me ā¦. The thought of that terrified meāCome here ā he says stretching his hand forward, his eyes cold as iceā I wanna go home ā I stated, I really do not want be with him right now especially not when he is in this kind of mood, nothing good will come out of itā Come here Red ā his voice dripped with authority, he isnāt taking no for an answerHe maintained eye contact with me watching, daring me to not take his hand, I took a shaky breath before slipping my hands into his cold ones , I really do not want to find out what heās gonna do if I donāt take his hand he held my hand firmly pulling me forwardāMichael we are on school groundsā I tri
Red .āAnd thatās all for today, class.āI packed my books and laptop, offering a polite smile before leaving the lecture hall. The whispers werenāt gone entirely, but they were no longer loud or shameless. Just fragments now. Glances. Half-looks. A few of my colleagues still avoided me, but I had decided those ones were insignificant.Something else occupied my thoughts anyway.Michael.He had been on edge lately. Ever since our trip to Italyāone I hadnāt even had the chance to enjoy before we were abruptly flown backāit felt like something was coming. Like he was bracing for impact. Preparing.It worried me.I wanted to help him, to ease whatever burden he was carrying, but he refused to tell me anything. So I decided that after work, Iād go to his place, cook him a proper homemade meal, open a bottle of wine. Weād sit together, talk, relax. Maybe it would take the edge off, even just a little.When I reached my office, the door was slightly ajar.That was strange. I always locked i
David.I stared at the photographs spread across the table.So my bastard son had finally learned how to pluck something beautiful.A rose like thisābright, untouchedādidnāt belong in his hands.I wanted her.And if I couldnāt have her, I would destroy her.I exhaled smoke slowly into the air. It curled above the pictures like a warning.It was time to visit my son.āDavid⦠youāre going to protect me, right?āHands slid over my chest, clinging. I looked down at the perfectly manicured fingers.Disgusting.āOf course, dearest Elizabeth.āI turned to her, lifting her chin just enough to make her look at me.She used to be sharp. Useful. Now she was patheticāhovering, begging. I preferred women when they still had resistance in them. When they belonged to the chase, not the reward.The only reason she was still breathing was simple:She was the only spy near Michael that he hadnāt eliminated yet.āYou promise?ā she whispered.āYouāll be safe,ā I said with a smile.She squeezed my hand. ā
REDMy life lately has been⦠good. Too good. So good that the nagging ache at the pit of my stomach refuses to leave. Something is coming. Something bad. I can feel it like a shadow crawling up my spine. Michael keeps telling me I have nothing to worry about, but I canāt shake the feeling.āAnd that
RED The sky is clear not a single cloud in sight, clear blue sky . I took a deep breath , itās gonna be a good day . Itās my off day besides , a day all for me . I settled into the sofa in a little short and a white tank top my hair packed into a messy pony tail , a bowl of popcorn and a bowl
REDI feel like a rat. A criminal.Itās been a week, and Iāve been dodging Michael like the plague. Itās exhausting and humiliating. I donāt know how to face him after that night. I donāt know what to say. I canāt even think straight without remembering his hands on me.āWatch where youāre going, Mi
REDThe music thumped through my veins, wild and heavy, and for once I didnāt fight it. I was drunkāvery drunk. Iāve always been a lightweight, so I usually avoid alcohol, but tonight?Tonight I was upset.Embarrassed.Horny.And desperately trying to stop dreaming about the dark-eyed boy with the s
