NADIA

“I still can’t believe you were caught having sex in an open space, sis. You’re becoming wild, and I love it.”

I bury my face in the magazine I’m pretending to read, wishing the ground would open up and swallow me.

“Keep your voice down, Laura. We weren’t caught. He handled it before it escalated.”

She hums, eyes gleaming with mischief. “Attagirl.”

I roll my eyes and glance around the café, making sure no one’s close enough to overhear.

“So,” she leans in, lowering her voice, “have you guys actually talked? Like… do you even know his name now?”

“Nope.” The P pops louder than it should, echoing in my head like a siren.

Laura frowns. “I don’t get it. It’s been what—a month? What do you two even talk about, or…” she smirks, “…do you just spend all that time screwing each other’s brains out?”

I nearly choke on my drink. “Laura!”

She grins, lifting her glass for a slow, deliberate sip, trying to look refined when she’s anything but.

“It’s been a month and two weeks,” I correct, sett

    NADIAThe look on his face guts me. Shock. Hurt. It's a kind of disbelief that makes my stomach twist.For a second, I forget how to breathe. Regret rushes in before I can stop it, burning through every inch of me.I want to reach out, to take it back, to erase the words hanging between us like smoke. But I don’t move. I just stand there, watching him.His jaw tightens, and the silence stretches until it feels like it might split me open. I wish there was a way to fix this. Some magic phrases to make him see I can't help it, that I don't want this to end. Why can’t anything ever just be easy? Why does something real and good always have to hurt first?A car pulls up beside us, headlights washing over the curb in a blinding sweep. The doors burst open, and a small group tumbles out, laughing, singing off-key, one of them strumming a guitar like it’s some wild anthem. Their joy fills the night, loud and careless.Instinct kicks in. I shift slightly, ready to put some space between us i

    JORDANThe moment I swing the door open, three-year-old Zara barrels into me, her tiny arms flinging around my waist.“Uncle Jordan!”“Hey, bug!” I crouch down and let her bounce against me, her curls tickling my chin. “It’s so good to see you.”“Is it? Because you’ve been avoiding everyone.”I look up to find Sharon my ever-blunt older sister leaning casually against the counter of my mini bar, a half-empty wineglass in her hand.I sigh. “Nice to see you too, Sharon.”“Don’t deflect. We literally had to hunt your ass down.”“I’ve been busy. Work and stuff.” I stand and nod toward her drink. “And I see you’ve already made yourself comfortable.”She grins and tosses back the rest of her wine before crossing the room to hug me. “I missed you, little brother.”“Hmmp.”Zara’s already back on the rug, surrounded by dolls and toy cars. Her soft hum fills the space, easing the quiet that always feels too heavy in this house.I head to the bar and pour myself a glass of whiskey. The burn stea

    NADIAAt exactly six o’clock, Felix and I ring the doorbell to his parents’ house. I silently cross my fingers, praying that Maria, their housekeeper, is the one who answers.Maria is quiet, blissfully so, and won’t feel the need to fill every second with polite chatter. With her, I could just smile, nod, and coast through the evening, pretending everything between Felix and me is still perfect.But, of course, it’s Beatrice who swings open the door instead. Her face lights up the second she sees us. Before I can say a word, she pulls me into one of her signature hugs, tight, warm, and impossibly long while sighing as if she’s greeting a long-lost daughter.“My God, you look good! You’re practically glowing!” she exclaims, pulling back to study my face with motherly pride.I summon a smile, remembering the agreement Felix and I made on the drive here, keep up appearances, stay affectionate, and play the part. So I toss him a teasing wink and let out a light, practised giggle.“Felix h

    NADIAI have a hundred and one reasons to believe this man has been stalking me, but then again, his story sounds so convincing. And the figure I spotted in the car earlier had on a black shirt and a white face cap.Right now, I’m having an out-of-body experience, the kind where I want to feel something again, something reckless, something selfishly mine.But the fact that I’m choosing… scratch that, my body is choosing the same man makes me both nervous and bold.Maybe it’s the way he looks at me, the way his touch lingers as though he’s afraid I’ll vanish if he lets go. Or maybe it’s the quiet things, how he sometimes whispers something under his breath, words so low they blur into the sound of his breathing. And every time, my heart stumbles because I swear he says my name in that deep, rough voice of his.“What are you thinking so hard about?” he asks, his tongue darting out to tease my lips.A quiet laugh escapes me before I can stop it. I hide my face in the crook of his neck, h

    JORDANI slip on my detached, professional mask, the same one I reserve for clients who drain the colour from my days.Taylor sits across from me, eyes red and tired, twisting a tissue between her fingers. I’ve heard this story too many times, and I’m running out of patience.“You can’t be serious, Jordan. I can’t just walk away from my husband. We’ve been married for ten years!”I lean back, keeping my tone even. “And how long has he been abusing you?”Her eyes flicker, guilt and fear mixing in the silence that follows. She doesn’t answer. I check the file in front of me, flipping through photos and reports without looking up.“You hired me to assess threats, Taylor. I can’t do that if you keep pretending he isn’t one.”I close the file and meet her eyes. “You need to decide what you want, protection or sympathy. I only offer one.”“I love him. He’s a good man. I—” Her voice falters. “I feel he’s just overwhelmed with all the changes at work and losing that promotion.”I say nothing,
