ALINA

The first face that greeted me the moment I opened the door was David’s, and he looked very, very pissed.

“What the hell, Alina?” he hissed at me as I walked past him with an eye roll. “Spending the night with him already?”

Chucking my bag onto the sofa, I walked over to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. “I spend the night with clients all the time.” Why is he t

    VINCENTMy eyes followed the medical staff in panic as she rushed past us with the pint of blood. “What’s going on?” I blurted out, turning to Jonah. “Why is she rushing in there with blood like that? What is happening?”“Calm down, Vincent.”David wiped his face with both hands before slowly rising to his feet. He turned towards us, his expression dark and grim as his gaze shifted from Jonah to me. The anger in his eyes was unmistakable, and the way he clenched his jaw made it clear that whatever he had to say was not going to be pleasant.“Are you even sorry that she got stabbed?” he growled, taking a step towards me.Jonah immediately moved in front of me, blocking his path before he could get any closer.“If you don’t get out of my way, I’m going to slam my fist into your jaw so hard that you’ll need a replacement,” David warned, glaring at Jonah.“I need both of you to calm the fuck down,” Jonah snapped. “Alina doesn’t need either of you fighting right now, not when she’s in ther

    VINCENTUnable to sleep and with work piling up, I reached for the document on the left side of the table and opened it. I might as well review the project since sleep seemed determined to elude me tonight.Halfway through the document, I felt an inexplicable urge to call Alina. I ignored it at first, forcing my attention back to the pages in my hand. However, less than ten seconds after picking up the document again, my gaze drifted towards my cellphone.Fuck.With a sigh, I reached for my phone, ready to call her. But the moment I glanced at the screen and saw that it was past three in the morning, I changed my mind. As much as I wanted to hear her voice, waking her up at this hour isn’t right.I could always stop by her place in the morning. Her pop-up event was tomorrow, and she needed all the rest she could get before the busy day ahead.Setting the phone facedown on the desk, I turned my attention back to the file and my MacBook, determined to get some work done.An hour later,

    ALINAI couldn’t, for the life of me, fall asleep.Thousands of thoughts raced through my head, and the sudden nervousness over tomorrow’s pop-up wasn’t helping. Despite being a hundred percent ready, I couldn’t seem to shake off the anxiety creeping up on me.The worst part? The one man I would normally run to whenever I needed to talk through my fears was currently one of the reasons I was so anxious. So much for finding comfort in him.With a frustrated sigh, I pushed the covers aside and got out of bed. I walked out onto the balcony, hoping a little fresh air would help calm the storm of thoughts raging inside my head.It didn’t.Thirty minutes later, I was still standing outside, and if anything, my mind felt even more crowded than before. I rested my hands on the railing and stared into the quiet night, wondering why I was suddenly acting like I had never done this before. So why was I panicking?Apparently, my brain had decided that sleep was overrated and worrying was a much

    VINCENTRubbing my jaw in frustration, I climbed back into the car and slammed the door shut behind me.“What the hell happened between her and Elena?”Jonah glanced at me briefly through the rear-view mirror before pulling out of the driveway. “I’m not entirely sure what they discussed, but I didn’t intervene because Ms. Voss seemed to have everything under control.”“I don’t give a damn whether she has it under control or not,” I snapped, my fingers tightening against my thigh. “In the future, if she looks uncomfortable around anyone, I want you to fucking intervene. Don’t stand there watching and wait until she gets so frustrated that she breaks a goddamn glass with her bare hands before you decide to do something.”“Yes, boss.”“Take me to Elena’s house.”Jonah nodded, and silence settled over the car as we drove through the streets. I turned towards the window, watching the passing buildings without paying much attention to them.After a few minutes, Jonah spoke again.“I think w

    VINCENTHer breath caught, but she didn’t look away.Slowly, I leaned closer, brushing my lips over hers without quite kissing her. My gaze slipped past her shoulder, settling on David.The bastard stood frozen, his face flushed and his jaw so tightly clenched that I could practically see the muscles twitching beneath his skin.The sight brought a slow, satisfied smirk to my face.That’s right. Keep watching.Then I finally captured Alina’s lower lip between mine, sucking gently before teasing it with my teeth.For someone who had been threatening to tear me apart seconds ago, Alina seemed to have forgotten what she wanted to say.Her hands, which had been resting against my chest, slowly travelled upwards until they circled my neck. She tugged me closer, pulling my head down as she rose slightly on her toes to meet my mouth.My fingers tightened around her waist, drawing her closer as I explored the familiar curves of her body. Her tiny waist fit beneath my hands, a striking contrast

    VINCENTWatching her pull away from my hold, only to walk straight into another man’s arms, made me see fucking red.It was the kind of rage that made my blood boil and my fingers itch to do something reckless.Hell, the anger I felt right now didn’t even compare to what I had felt when that bastard shoved Vera in high school. Back then, I had nearly beaten the guy to a pulp for daring to lay a hand on her. But this?This was different.This was Alina willingly walking into another man’s arms, allowing him to hold her as though he had every right to touch her.And the worst part?She looked comfortable there.My jaw tightened so hard I felt a dull ache shoot through it, and I curled my fingers into fists at my sides.“I think he likes her,” Jonah muttered from the driver’s seat, glancing at me through the rear-view mirror.I slowly turned my head towards him. “Do you want to shut the fuck up before I shut it for you?”He raised his brows, looking entirely too amused for a man who valu
