"And you..."

The words hung in the air like a cold gust of wind.

Allison stiffened in her seat. Her fingers stopped playing with the edge of her coat. She looked up slowly, meeting Maureen’s gaze. The other woman’s expression was blank, but her tone carried a strong weight of condescension.

Maureen crossed one leg over the other and tilted her head slightly. “What exactly is your job here?”

The question was sharp, direct, and completely unexpected. Allison’s mouth opened slightly, her thoughts scrambling for a response.

Allison blinked. “Excuse me?”

Maureen looked around the room, then back at Allison. She continued, not waiting for her to answer.

“You’ve been sitting here ever since I came in. Doing absolutely nothing. Just sitting and staring. Does this look like an art gallery to you?”

Allison’s eyes narrowed. Her first instinct was to snap back. Who was this girl to talk to her like that? But she held herself back. Maureen’s next words twisted the knife even deeper.

I never should have started an unfinished story. While I like it so far I feel like with the little updates we get it’ll be a long while until it’s finished.

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Silent Rivals

    After Emma slammed the door right at their faces, the tension between David and Christian didn’t ease. They stood there, locked in a glare, neither willing to be the first to look away.Neither of them said a word for several long seconds. Finally, David broke the silence.“Look,” he started. “I get it. You want to protect her. I do too. But this—” he gestured to the closed door, “—this isn’t helping. Fighting like this will only push Emma further away.”“Then maybe you should back off,” Christian said coldly. “Step aside so things can go back to normal. I'm capable of handling things here.”David raised an eyebrow, folding his arms. “Normal? And what does ‘normal’ mean to you, Christian? You being the only one by her side while I disappear? Is that what you think?”Christian’s eyes darkened. “Yes. I mean If you weren’t planning to stir up trouble, then why the hell did you rent an apartment in this building? Don’t give me that same

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   House Chaos

    Emma slowly stirred awake, her eyebrows slightly knitting together as faint, deep voices echoed from somewhere near the front door. It wasn’t too loud, but loud enough to pull her out of sleep.She had become a light sleeper these past few days, always half-alert, especially after everything that had happened. Slowly, she sat up, wincing slightly from the pull in her side. Her bandages still felt tight around her ribs. Her walking aid and wheelchair were placed right beside the bed, but she carefully reached for the walking aid, steadying herself before standing up.As she shuffled towards the door, the voices became clearer. They were familiar... too familiar.“Sophie?” she called softly as she approached.Reaching the small hallway, Emma saw Sophie standing by the door, arms crossed tightly over her chest. Her brows were furrowed, clearly frustrated. But what caught Emma’s attention more were the two voices—Christian and David.“I’ve al

    Dr. Allen stood by the hospital bed, speaking softly to Emma. "Emma, remember, you still have your bandages on, so try not to strain yourself. No heavy lifting, no bending too much, and make sure to rest often. Your stitches need time to heal."Emma nodded, listening carefully. "Alright, Dr. Allen. I understand."David stood at the foot of the bed, arms crossed, listening even more seriously than Emma herself. His brows were furrowed as if he was the one with the injuries. He suddenly spoke up, glancing between Emma and the doctor. "Dr. Allen, don't you think it would be better if she used a wheelchair for a while? So she doesn't strain herself too much?"Dr. Allen opened his mouth to answer but was quickly interrupted by a low chuckle from the other side of the room. Christian.Christian stood leaning against the wall, arms folded, with a slight smirk on his face. "Hmm... I think a wheelchair isn't necessary. A walking aid or maybe a light rollator would be better, right, Dr. Alle

    David stepped out of Emma's room, letting the door close quietly behind him. He pulled out his phone, glanced at the screen, and sighed. It was Oliver, his assistant, calling again."Yeah, Oliver," David answered, pinching the bridge of his nose as he started walking towards the quiet corner of the parking lot."Sir, the documents you were supposed to sign this afternoon are still pending. There’s also a contract that needs your review before tomorrow morning," Oliver reported.David let out a breath. "I know, Oliver. I’ll take care of it when I get to the office tomorrow. I’ve got something more important going on right now.""Okay, sir. Just letting you know the board is expecting your signature before tomorrow noon.”"Got it. I'll get everything done before noon... just remind me." David hung up and slipped the phone back into his pocket. He glanced at his wristwatch; he needed to go to the station to know the situation of th

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   An Awkward Visit

    Emma sat upright on her hospital bed, flipping through a magazine absentmindedly.The door suddenly opened, and Emma's face lit up as she saw Grandpa walking in."Grandpa!" she smiled warmly. "You came. How are you doing?"Grandpa chuckled softly, walking in with slow but steady steps. "I'm fine, my dear. Just a little tired, but I couldn't stay home without coming to see you."She grinned. "Thank you, Grandpa."Before Emma could say anything more, the door opened again, and David stepped in right behind Grandpa.Emma blinked, a bit surprised. She hadn't expected to see him here. He didn't show up last night, and even when she sent him a message, he didn't even reply.Her smile faltered just a little but quickly returned."Oh... David. Hi."David nodded slightly, clearing his throat as he walked over."Emma. How... how are you feeling?" His voice was gentle, and he offered a polite smile, but his body language seemed awkward and restrained… unlike the way they used to chat and gist be

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Wrong Timing

    Christian stayed by Emma’s side all through the night until she slowly drifted off to sleep. She breathed softly, and a gentle smile stayed on her lips. Christian quietly watched her, his own lips curling into a small smile.This was the woman who owned his heart, the reason he fought so hard to return to New York. No matter the pain, no matter the obstacles, everything was worth it—just to be with her.Carefully, he stood up from the chair, not wanting to wake her. He quietly walked into the restroom connected to the hospital room.The light flickered on as he turned on the light switch. Then, he went ahead to turn on the faucet.Christian leaned forward and splashed the cold water on his face, hoping it would ease the heavy thoughts swirling in his mind.As he wiped his face, his eyes caught his reflection in the large mirror. His gaze darkened. Slowly, he lifted his shirt, revealing a large white bandage pressed against his side. Beneath it was a gradually healing gunshot wound. He
