Cold yoghurt runs down my hair and drips onto my shoulders.

I just sit there for a second, blinking, completely frozen. The sticky liquid slides down my forehead into my eyes. I wipe at my face with both hands, still not really understanding what just happened.

When I finally look up, Victoria is standing right in front of my desk. One hand is covering her mouth like she’s shocked.

“Oops,” she says again, all sweet. “My bad.”

The office is almost empty. It’s lunchtime. Most people are downstair

    “About the contract…” Damien hesitates again, running a quick hand down his dark hair.My stomach tightens even more and it’s now obvious to him that I’ve become a nervous mess while waiting to hear what he has to say. I think I know what he’s about to say so I’ll just help him out. Before he can say another word, I let out a nervous laugh and raise both hands.“Um, wait. Before you say anything else, I have something to say. You know, I’m a woman of my word, so yes, I’ll pay the one million dollars penalty fee,” I say quickly while avoiding his eyes. “I know an agreement is an agreement but you’ll have to allow me pay in installments though”Damien blinks at me. Then his lips slowly twitch into a genuine laugh.He shakes his head and looks into my eyes, still laughing, his eyes crinkle at the corners despite the little bruise on his cheek. “You shouldn’t be this adorable, Aria. I’m sure it’s illegal”“What’s funny?,” I reply playfully, I feel heat rush to my cheeks.“That clause abo

    For a second I see hesitation in his eyes, like he’s about to pull away. Without thinking, I lean in and press a soft peck against his slightly busted lip.He freezes.When I pull back, he’s staring at me wide-eyed, clearly caught off guard. Heat rushes to my face and I suddenly find the floor extremely interesting.Then he laughs.Not a short breath or a quiet chuckle — a full, genuine laugh that fills the room and warms something deep in my chest. It takes him a moment to calm down.“What’s funny?” I ask, still a little embarrassed.He finally eases, eyes soft as they settle on me.“You’re truly adorable, Aria.”My cheeks burn hotter. I look away again, but this time he doesn’t let me. He slips his fingers under my chin and gently tilts my face back toward his until our eyes meet. His gaze is warm in a way that makes it hard to breathe properly.“I would have kissed you properly,” he murmurs, “but I don’t want to ruin the moment by making you taste blood.”I roll my eyes. “Or maybe

    ARIA’S POVThe car is quiet in a way that feels heavy.I tried to stop him from driving. I told him his hands were still trembling, that his eye was swelling, that he shouldn’t be behind the wheel after a fight like that. Damien only looked at me with that stubborn, unreadable expression and said he was fine.So now I sit in the passenger seat, watching the city lights blur past the window while the silence between us stretches. The smell of blood still clings to him. Every few seconds I glance at his hands on the steering wheel — the knuckles split open, the skin raw. He doesn’t flinch when he shifts gears, but I know it has to hurt.“You’re going the wrong way,” I say eventually.“I’m taking you home.”“No.” I turn to face him fully. “We’re going to the hospital.”His jaw tightens. “I don’t need a hospital.”“Damien—”“I said I’m fine.”The stubbornness in his voice is familiar, but tonight it only frustrates me more. I lean back against the seat and cross my arms.“I’m not getting

    George reacts faster than I do.“Uncle!” he shouts, rising from where he’s kneeling beside Ethan. He starts toward Sebastian, but the older man raises one hand sharply and stops him cold.I stand frozen behind Damien, feeling completely out of place. The parking lot suddenly feels too open, too exposed. What was I thinking coming here tonight? That I could just walk in, confess my feelings, and somehow everything would fall into place? I should have known better by now. Nothing in my life ever works that cleanly.Damien is still turned slightly from the force of Sebastian’s punch. His fists are clenched so tightly that the blood on his knuckles looks almost black under the dim lights. A thin cut has opened near his eyebrow, and a fresh drop of blood trails down the side of his face. He doesn’t speak. He barely even seems to breathe. The muscle in his jaw keeps ticking, the only clear sign of how hard he’s holding himself back.Sebastian turns his cold gaze on George.“You always do th

    When I wake up, the office is almost dark. The sun has already started setting outside the windows.I sit up slowly on Gideon’s sofa and notice a folded note on his desk.[6pm… I already made a reservation for you. Don’t worry about locking up. Ivy will handle it.]I shake my head, half in disbelief and half in relief. Gideon is too easygoing for his own good. I had been worried that things between us would stay awkward after everything that happened, but it seems I was overthinking it. That matters more than I want to admit. Elena doesn’t say it out loud, but I know Gideon is different from the other men she’s been with. The last thing I want is to come between them.Ethan.I mentally palm my forehead. I was supposed to meet him at six.I pick up my phone to text him and see that he’s already messaged me.[I won’t be able to make it. Tomorrow.]A small breath of relief leaves me. At least that’s one less thing to deal with right now. I check the time — twenty minutes to six. I grab m

    I don’t remember when or how I fell asleep, but when I wake up I’m still in my wet clothes, slumped against the front door.I try to stand, and a sharp ache in my ribs immediately tells me I’ve made a stupid mistake. My breathing is rough, and my nose feels runny. Great. Now I’m actually sick.I press a hand to my forehead. Mild fever. I curse under my breath. Who’s going to believe I’m genuinely sick after calling in yesterday?I drag myself to the bedroom to get ready for work, my mind stuck on Damien’s words from last night.…the person I love…Me. Damien said he loves me.I try to bite back the smile that wants to form as I step into the shower and let the hot water run over me. I never expected things between us to reach this point. The idea that he actually has feelings for me still feels surreal.Then the rest of the night comes back, and the smile fades. Knowing Damien, he’s already decided to keep his distance while he “fixes” everything.I groan — partly from how awful I fee
