Silence hangs between them like clear smoke.

Cecelia and Raees sit across from each other at the small round table tucked into the café’s upper level. The light filtering through the almost invincible windows casts light on the tablecloth, the sun starting to show signs of early retirement.

Neither of them speaks for the first few minutes, although it is quite far from being a comfortable one.

Cecelia sits awkwardly, her fingers twitching against her lap, eyes flicking around the room like someone searching for an escape route. Raees, by contrast, is perfectly still. One leg crossed over the other, elbow resting lightly on the armrest, her fingers tracing the rim of her glass with precision.

She only glances at Cecelia every so often through the rim of her glass whenever she takes those long sips, but those glances sting like paper cuts. It’s as though she’s measuring and studying Cecelia.

Finally, a waiter arrives to break the awkward quiet.

“Anything for you, ma’am?” he asks Cecelia

  • My Husband asked Me to Seduce Another Man!   The Puppetmaster's String.

    Alec Steele had poured himself a glass of Glenlivet twenty-one, a bottle he reserved only for celebrations or poetic ironies. He raised the glass slowly, watching the amber liquid catch the refracted glint of the city lights beyond his penthouse.In a matter of minutes, the performance would reach its crescendo. Suite 906 was live. The cameras were rolling. The seduction had gone smoothly, almost too smoothly. Annalise had been every bit the siren he hired her to be.Reid Caddel was in the room.Raees Graham had received the package and was on her way.Elena Flanagan was en route as well.Everything was falling into place like a set of finely arranged dominoes.And yet.As Alec leaned closer to the massive monitor in his study, his brows began to draw together. There was a delay. Not in the footage. In their reactions.Raees had entered.Yes, her face had fallen at the start. Shock had bloomed beautifully across her features like the first burst of flame in dry grass. But then...Laug

  • My Husband asked Me to Seduce Another Man!   Caught in Bed with another Woman... Oopsie.

    The hotel lobby was the same as Raees Graham stepped inside, her heels clacking against the pristine floors as if they had a score of their own. Her red curls were gathered up into a high, elegant twist, her emerald green dress hugging every inch of her curves with the kind of effortlessness that took three hours of careful prep to pull off.The concierge gave her a practiced, warm smile.She didn’t know what exactly she was walking into, but she had a sinking feeling in her gut that whatever it was, it wouldn’t be good, especially as it had been Elena that warned her about it. Either she knows something she doesn’t or she’s about to find out on her own.The receptionist offered her a plastic smile. "Good afternoon, Miss Graham. You’ve been left a key card for Suite 906."Raees blinked, caught off guard. "By who?"The receptionist tilted her head politely. "It was prepared anonymously for you today, but the instructions were very clear. You’re expected."Raees's brows furrowed. Her he

  • My Husband asked Me to Seduce Another Man!   Come for the Card... In my Cleavage.

    The hotel was too quiet for a Tuesday afternoon.The lobby of the Dunsmere Grand Hotel was a quiet kind of opulence. Dimmed chandeliers flickered lazily above velvet-cushioned lounges and marble floors polished to a gleam. A few guests milled around the front desk, unaware of the script that was quietly being set in motion upstairs.A woman entered through the side entrance, an elegant figure cloaked in an oversized trench coat that brushed against her calves. Her heels clicked a steady rhythm across the floor, and her red lips curved in a smile only she knew the meaning of.In her hand, she held a keycard embossed with the number 906.She didn’t pause. Her pace was deliberate, her presence unassuming but magnetic. Her coat, a long cream trench cinched tightly at the waist, concealed the curves that already turned heads at the concierge desk. She didn’t stop to greet anyone. She didn’t need to. The receptionist looked up, gave a polite smile, and returned to her screen.She’d been ins

  • My Husband asked Me to Seduce Another Man!   Let the Odds be Ever in My Favor.

    CHAPTER 60“He’s been released sir.”Alec Steele barely raises his head, nodding absentmindedly. “Reid Caddel released him, but on what grounds did he do so?”“We have yet to figure it out but he’s been on the move since he was returned to the intersection of his home. He went home, met with that woman and they left together. A man is currently tailing them and gives updates every five minutes.”Alec nods again, the nail cutter snapping as he sears away another toenail. They aren’t grown yet but whatever will be a nuisance will show its signs from early stages, such as these danged nails.“Keep me updated then.”“Yes sir.” He bows and proceeds to leave before he changes his mind.“Come back, I have a special assignment for you.”He turns around to face Alec, and this time, he puts down his feet, this one is more important.As soon as all of these small issues around them, especially with Daniel blows over, Alec claims to have to make sure that the red-head discovers the kind of man sh

  • My Husband asked Me to Seduce Another Man!   Cold War

    Later That Day…Reid stood in front of the glass wall in his office, arms folded, eyes on the distant skyline, but his mind wasn't seeing the view.His cheek still tingled from Rowland’s slap, and his knuckles throbbed from catching that cursed hand midair. His chest was tight, not with fear, but something worse, the memory of the past.The way his father had cried behind closed doors. The way the family had always whispered "ungrateful," "weak," "disappointment" every time Reid tried to speak up about what they were doing to him, and then the way it mysteriously ended, one that Rowland was never tired of calling Karma even though Reid knew it had to do with him, no doubt but he’d never been able to find how or pin it on him.Today… today, he’d spoken loud enough even to earn him a slap, but it felt so dang worth it. He won’t go down silently.There was a knock on the door.He didn’t turn around. “Come in.”George stepped in, hesitant. “Should I cancel your afternoon meetings?”“No,”

  • My Husband asked Me to Seduce Another Man!   Intruder in SKY

    The tall building stood before him like a monument to betrayal, just as his daughter just looked at the same one that belongs to Raees, they really are a family after all.Rowland Flanagan tilted his head back, taking in the steel and glass marvel that was Sky Group’s company building. It’s sleek, state-of-the-art, and clearly thriving, so much so that it sent a bitter taste crawling down his throat. He hadn’t expected this.Reid?This well off? Living large while Daniel was wasting away in a cold, metal cage? One that could have been entirely avoided if they had not wanted to take the company off his hands? Someone is clearly playing games here, and it’s not any of the ‘current’ Flanagans.No one in the family knew, though, that Reid built such an empire for himself. No one had suspected it, they knew he was doing okay but they, oddly, thought that he had only a small thing for himself, just to stay comfortable and afloat, but this just totally rivals their thoughts for all these yea
