ログイン[Alma]The drive was silent except for the low hum of the engine and the tires screeching against the asphalt whenever Zevyn took a turn.My gaze shifted to my phone, and I opened our group chat almost without thinking. Sienna's message was still sitting at the bottom.Sienna: movie date tonight after work, who is in?I stared at it for a moment.Elara had reacted to the message with a laughing emoji, and I'd responded with a heart. That was it. Such a simple conversation. A normal plan between three best friends who had no idea that in a few minutes, everything between us would be completely fucking different.I'd actually been excited about the movie. I needed something to take my mind off the man sitting beside me, something loud enough and distracting enough to keep me from thinking about him for a few hours.I just hadn't known the tables were about to turn so violently.My thumb lingered over the screen before I finally locked it.I could still see their faces.Sienna's eyes, fi
[Alma]"Don't keep your mouth shut, and I'll smack your ass right here and give them something worthy to watch."My lips snapped shut immediately. My heart slammed so hard against my chest that I could hear it pounding in both ears."You disgust me.""This friendship is over.""I'm out of here before I vomit every single thing I just had."Sienna's voice rang in my ears over and over again, each word making more tears roll down my cheeks.Zevyn pulled the car door open, helped me in, and strapped my seatbelt, but none of it registered; all I could see were my friends' faces.I didn't care if anyone else had said those words to me... If any of my colleagues had looked me in the eyes and called me disgusting and shameless, none of it... I mean, not even a single word, would have ever mattered to me.But not my best friends. Not the two women who meant the world to me.This was exactly what I was afraid of... I didn't mean to lie to either of them, but I was afraid of the judgment, afrai
[Zevyn]I didn't want to stay away from her for this long. I needed her more than I cared to admit, but I couldn't push aside the sudden, fucking rage that had taken over me these past few days.Because every fucking time her call lit up my phone, all I could see in that moment was him.Not her.Him.The man who made me an orphan at fifteen. The man who turned me into a fucking beast overnight.Nineteen fucking years later, I still couldn't close my eyes without pills.Until her.The one woman I'd walked into that club with only one mission in mind. Only for everything to become even more fucked up than I'd ever imagined.My eyes shifted back to the tablet in my hand, landing on the headline again. My phone was already buzzing with calls from different shareholders, one after another. My stocks were dropping with every passing second, all because one bastard had decided to bite off more than he could chew.I turned toward the doorway where Zed was still standing, his hand resting on e
[Alma]"Of course you won't understand, will you?" Sienna scoffed. She swiped through her phone and shoved it into my face; I had to reach out and grab it before it slipped from her hand. "Then explain what is going on right here, Alma... Fucking explain!"I didn't stare at the phone; instead, my eyes stayed on my best friend's. "Why are you girls acting like this?"Elara scoffed, shaking her head slowly, the disappointment on her face impossible to miss."Are you scared to look at the damn phone?" Sienna snapped. "Or you already know what you did?"Sweat formed at the corner of my brows; I could already feel my temples throbbing.I didn't want to. A fucking part of me could already tell what was in here. I should throw this phone as far as I can and explain everything to my friends, but instead, because another part of me was hoping it had nothing to do with what I'm thinking, I finally shifted my gaze to the screen.And the moment I did, I wished I'd done the first thing that came t
[Alma]I stared at the screen and swiped the green button immediately."Sienna, I'm coming right down... You're going to run my battery down." I said, and just like that, the phone went dead, and that alone made my brow crease even more.And just like the elevator could ready minds, it finally slowed to a stop. The door slid open, and I stepped into the hallway, already heading to the first floor.Two girls walked past me. One barely looked up from her phone, completely absorbed in whatever was on the screen, while the other kept her eyes fixed directly on me as she passed."That's her." The one staring at me said, and the other one raised her head, and the moment her eyes met mine, her jaw clenched. "Disgusting." That was the exact word I heard before they walked past me.I halted on my steps immediately. I turned, looking at them like maybe I'd somehow heard wrong, but they both turned their heads at the same time, that ugly look still plastered on their faces, before they finally
[Alma]"Who froze his account?" Sienna asked, her brows knitting together with every word. "What does he mean by you made him kidnap Tessy?" She paused, her eyes fixed on me. "Who's he?" My hands went cold. I opened my mouth, but not even a single word made it out. My throat tightened hard as I struggled to push down the lump already rising, but it wouldn't bulge."You're not saying anything.""Because I'm as confused as you are." The lie slipped out so easily, it made my skin prickle, but I didn't stop. "It's Mason we're talking about here; that man is a psycho. So I don't know what he's talking about."Sienna's eyes narrowed, that same look she'd give me if she couldn't make out if I were lying or telling the truth.I bit the inside of my cheek, keeping my face as serious as I could, fucking hoping my eyes weren't giving me away.She finally sighed, and just when I thought she was ready to drop it, her gaze moved past me and then back to me again. "Alma, I'd hate to doubt my instin
[Zevyn]My jaw clenched so hard I knew my teeth would crack if I didn't let go."Urghh." The woman on her knees moaned, her head bumping harder against my cock to impress me— or perhaps make me increase her pay, I couldn't care less.I was getting bored, but I needed her to keep going, I needed to
[Alma] "It happens on my terms." I blinked. Hard. My heartbeat thudded loudly in my chest as I stared at the man in front of me, struggling to focus on what he just said. My breath came out thinner than I wanted as I held it together, forcing my shoulders to stay relaxed even when everything in
[Alma]"Be there in an hour." That was all I heard before the line went dead. My heart thumped so loudly in my chest, I'm sure the cab driver could hear it.My hand trembled as I gripped my phone like a lifeline, my eyes fixed directly on the screen.If he said he'll send an address, then he will..
[Alma]Wrong.Wrong.Wrong.The words echoed in my head relentlessly as I knelt there—shameless—staring up at a stranger’s cock like I wasn’t fucking married.I should leave.Stand up and run as far as I could.This was wrong.I can’t be doing this—But my body wouldn’t listen.It felt like my mind
