Lost in Thy Arms EX BOYFRIEND
Chapter 26EX BOYFRIEND Maria turned and was surprised to see Gabriel, her ex boyfriend standing before her.“What are you doing here, Maria? It's been a while.“ He said with a smug smile.“Let go of my hand.“ Maria said looking at anywhere but his face.He let go and placed his hands in his pockets.“You are a bit overdressed for this kind of place, don't you think?“ He said looking at her dress.Maria stared at her dress, it was below her knee not too long and not short.“How is that any of your business, Mr Turner.““We are being formal now, are we?““We have no reason to be otherwise and I hope we both respect our boundaries.““Fine, what do you say we sit down and chat over a couple of drinks for old times sake.““Mr Turner, I didn't come here for fun. I came here for business.““At a club? Try better Maria that lie is….““Miss Brooks,” she cut him short.“Whatever,” he shrugged “Let's go over to that free table.“ he reached out to take her hand.Then Francis came in between him
Lost in Thy Arms MOTHERLY ADVICE
Chapter 26 MOTHERLY ADVICE Sunday arrived wrapped in pale autumn sunlight, the kind that filtered through curtains and warmed floors without quite chasing away the chill. Maria woke late, lay in bed for a long while staring at the ceiling, and finally rose when the smell of cooking drifted up from downstairs.Aunt May was in the kitchen, as she always was on Sundays, her hands dusted with flour and her gray hair pulled back in a loose bun. The radio played softly from the windowsill—old jazz, the kind Maria had become used to."There she is," May said without turning around. "I was beginning to think you'd sleep the day away.""I was tired," Maria said, sliding onto a stool at the counter."More reason for you to eat something." May slid a plate across the counter—eggs, toast, a thick slice of tomato, all arranged with the careful precision she applied to everything. "Eat."Maria ate. The food was good, familiar, settling something in her stomach that she hadn't realized was unsettl
Lost in Thy Arms A DECISION SHE NEEDED TO MAKE
Chapter 24 A DECISION SHE NEEDED TO MAKE Maria woke to pale sunlight filtering through unfamiliar curtains. For a moment, panic seized her—the instinctive jolt of not knowing where she was, her limbs tangled in sheets that smelled wrong, too soft, too expensive. Her heart hammered against her ribs as fragments of the previous night rushed back: the storm, Sophia's insistence, the tea, the fire. The fire. She had fallen asleep on the sofa. She was certain of it. But she was in a bed now, cocooned in silk sheets that pooled like liquid around her legs. Her shoes had been removed and placed neatly beside the nightstand. Her coat hung on the back of a nearby chair, draped carefully, as though someone had taken care to let it dry. Someone had. Maria pushed herself upright, the sheets slipping to her waist. Morning light poured through tall windows, illuminating dust motes that drifted lazily in the air. The room was beautiful—pale walls, fresh flowers on the vanity, a painti
Lost in Thy Arms THE VISIT TO HIS MAISON
Chapter 23THE VISIT TO HIS MANSIONThe cab slowed to a halt before the tall iron gates of Francis’s estate. Rain drizzled lightly, misting the air, and Maria came down and paid the driver. She walked forward, clutching the file tightly against her chest. The guards approached, stern-faced, their uniforms crisp despite the damp weather. “Name?” one demanded. “Maria,” she replied, voice steady though her heart raced. “I’m here to deliver a file to Mr. Francis.” The guard exchanged a glance with his partner, then pulled out a phone. Maria stood awkwardly in the drizzle, her shoes damp, as he dialed. A brief conversation followed, clipped and efficient. Finally, the guard nodded. “You may enter. He confirmed.” The gates swung open with mechanical precision, and the she walked cautiously into the estate. Maria’s breath caught as the mansion came into view. ---It was breathtaking. Elegant fountains arched water into the air, their droplets catching the faint glow of garden lig
Lost in Thy Arms THE CALL
Chapter 22THE CALLShe felt his hand at the waistband of her jeans, and something inside her—some small, distant voice that had been drowned out by the heat of his touch—suddenly surged forward.Her hand closed over his, stilling him.He froze immediately, lifting his head from where it had been buried in the curve of her neck. His breathing was heavy, his lips parted, but his eyes—those eyes that had been dark with wanting just moments before—sharpened with immediate attention.She didn't know how to explain the sudden knot in her chest. It wasn't that she didn't want him—God, she did, so much it scared her. "I—" she started, then stopped. Her hands were trembling slightly, and she hated that he could probably feel it.He didn't wait for her to find the words. He saw it—the hesitation, the tension in her shoulders, the way her fingers had wrapped around his wrist like a quiet plea. And he let go.Not just her hand. He let go of everything. He sat back, creating a careful, deliberat
Lost in Thy Arms SHADOWS AND SECRETS
Chapter 21SHADOWS AND SECRETSFrancis moved quietly toward the corner shelf, his silhouette barely visible in the storm-lit room. Maria watched, tense and uncertain, wondering what he was doing. A moment later, the sharp click of a lighter broke the silence, followed by the soft glow of flame. He lit one candle, then another, until five flickered across the lounge, placed at strategic points that pushed back the darkness in trembling circles of light.When he returned to the couch, Maria was trembling, her hands shaking as she whispered, “Let me out, please… I’ll behave. Just let me out. I can’t see anything.” Tears brimmed at her eyes, her voice cracking under the weight of fear. Francis sat beside her, pulling her gently into his arms. He said nothing, but his jaw tightened, his thoughts dark—silently wishing death, or plotting vengeance, for whoever had planted this terror inside her. Gradually, her sobs subsided. She pulled away, embarrassed, wiping her face. “Thank you… Sir…
