"Don't you think you're dressed a little inappropriately for work?"

The words left my mouth before my brain had a chance to stop them.

The second they were out...

I regretted them.

I knew exactly how they sounded.

Petty.

Immature.

Controlling.

But ever since Dad walked in on us that morning...

I'd realized something.

This divorce was going to happen definitely.

But It needed to be clean.

No lingering feelings.

No false hope.

No blurred lines.

If Genesis hated me...

Then maybe leaving would hurt

    "Don't you think you're dressed a little inappropriately for work?"The words left my mouth before my brain had a chance to stop them.The second they were out...I regretted them.I knew exactly how they sounded.Petty.Immature.Controlling.But ever since Dad walked in on us that morning...I'd realized something.This divorce was going to happen definitely.But It needed to be clean.No lingering feelings.No false hope.No blurred lines.If Genesis hated me...Then maybe leaving would hurt her a little less.It was a pathetic strategy.I knew that.But it was the only one I had.And if I was being completely honest...Her outfit wasn't really the problem.It was the fact that I'd noticed it.The moment she'd walked into the meeting room, my eyes had gone straight to her.She'd left one... maybe two extra buttons undone.Something she'd never done before.I got a clear view of her cleavage.It wasn't as revealing.Not really.But it was enough.Enough to catch my attention.Enough

    By the time Matt dropped me off...Every bit of confidence I'd forced myself to have that morning had completely disappeared.The anger.The determination.The Game on.All gone.I hadn't stepped into the office since the launch party.Since Violet.Since Richard.Since everything had blown up.The only updates I'd gotten were from social media.Public opinion was still vicious.Some people called me a gold digger.Others called me a homewrecker.More than a few defended me.While the rest gushed over my looks.But I'd learned something about the internet.Support could turn into hatred in a heartbeat.I stood across the street in the café opposite the company building for nearly thirty minutes, staring at the revolving glass doors.Just go.It's only work.They're only people.I took one deep breath.Then another.I turned on my playlist, slipped my earphones in, straightened my top, and crossed the road.Straightened my shirt.And crossed the road.The security guards greeted me.I

    Every single time.Every single time I tried to be nice.Every time I forgot my place.Forgot that I wasn't supposed to.Forgot that this was simply a game of charades...Life always found the most dramatic way possible to remind me why that was a terrible idea.I understood why he was acting strange.His father had walked in on us sleeping together on the couch.I had been there too.I knew how awkward it must've looked.But still...Did he really have to take it out on me?I replayed everything that had happened downstairs.His cold voice.His expression.The way he'd dismissed me.I sighed before pouring the untouched tea down the sink.The warm liquid disappeared down the drain.Just like my mood."Fine."I muttered."I get it."I climbed the stairs, each step heavier than the last.Halfway up...I remembered the look Richard had given me.That look.Like I was dirt beneath his shoes.Like simply because I hadn't been born into wealth...I wasn't worthy of standing in the same roo

    "Dad, why the hell didn't you tell me you were coming over?" I asked after he entered the study and closed the door."So..."Dad glanced around the study."I need to start making appointments before visiting my own son's house now?"I pinched the bridge of my nose.Perfect.The one peaceful morning I'd had in what felt like forever...Ruined.Last night had been a blur.The fever.The whiskey.Genesis.I remembered waking sometime before dawn.She'd been sitting on the floor beside the couch, her head resting against the cushion.Still holding the damp cloth she'd been using to bring my fever down.She must've fallen asleep taking care of me.I couldn't leave her there.So I'd carried her as carefully as I could and settled her properly on the couch.I should've gone upstairs afterwards.I knew that.Instead...I stayed.Something about sleeping and waking beside her reminded me of the cabin.Maybe it was the fever.Maybe it was the dream I'd had.Or maybe...It wasn't a dream anymore

    I lowered myself onto the floor beside him.Neither of us spoke.The kitchen was strangely quiet now.The broken glass was gone.The whiskey had been cleaned up.Only the faint smell of alcohol still lingered in the air.August sat with his head lowered, one knee drawn up, his injured hand resting loosely against it.His eyes were closed.For a moment...I simply looked at him.His long legs stretched carelessly across the floor.A few damp strands of hair had escaped onto his forehead.His jaw was impossibly sharp.His nose...His lips...Everything about him looked unfairly perfect.My gaze lingered longer than it should have.He's going to have beautiful children one day.The thought appeared out of nowhere.I immediately shut my eyes.What on earth are you thinking, Genesis?I let out a quiet laugh at myself.I should leave.I slowly stood.He still hadn't moved.Maybe...Maybe he'd fallen asleep.I took a cautious step closer."August..."No response.I crouched in front of him.

    I was reluctant to come back home that night.Every part of me wanted to stay back at the orphanage.It felt... safer there. Not because of the building... but because of what I was beginning to feel whenever I was around August.But I had work the next morning, and commuting from the orphanage wasn't realistic.Then there was the fact that Dad... Richard was out.I didn't want him hovering around the orphanage because I was there.Besides...I knew August would throw a fit if I disappeared without telling him.So I came home.Changed into my pajamas.Lay in bed.And stared at the ceiling.Sleep refused to come.My mind wouldn't stop running.Richard.The mall.The feeling that someone had been watching me.I knew it had been him.I was almost certain.But if it really was...Why hadn't he approached me?Why follow me instead?What was he waiting for?Should I report it?Would anyone even believe me without proof?I turned onto my side and pulled the blanket closer.Eventually...My t

    I had always been careful, so waking up naked beside my boss that morning, my boss who wasn’t even my type, felt like the beginning of a disaster I wouldn’t survive.After everything that followed, I convinced myself I could forget him. Forget Vegas. Forget that night ever happened.Now it was all

    Then silence after I knocked stretched painfully long. Then, a second later, the door creaked open. I froze. There she was, Genesis Michaelson, the very woman I’d spent over twenty-four hours trying to find, while finding out things about her I never thought off. For a moment, neither of us spok

    THREE MONTHS AGO. LAS VEGAS... “It was good doing business with you, August.” “The pleasure is all mine,” I replied, shaking his hand. “And I assure you your continuous patronage of TAG vehicles will never be a mistake.” Baron Russo chuckled as he smoothed the crease in his jacket. “That was nev

    “I’m sorry, Mr. Thorne, but our records indicate that you are already legally married.”For a second, I thought I had misheard him.The officiant sat across from me, his fingers hovering uncertainly over his keyboard, his expression caught somewhere between discomfort and confusion, the later match
