เข้าสู่ระบบ[Alma]"I don't mind if you have it all, Princess."Goodness.My fingers curled tightly around the files as I lowered my lashes, trying to find somewhere else to look besides his face.Why did he have to say things like that?Why did he have to make it so damn difficult for me to keep my distance?I bit the inside of my cheek, fighting the ridiculous urge to close the distance between us and slam my lips against his. My eyes flickered towards his mouth for the briefest second before I forced them away.I wanted him so bad.I wanted him so bad that it fucking hurt.It had been over a week, maybe even longer, since I'd felt those lips against mine. Since I'd had his hand wrapped around my waist, pulling me close enough to feel the warmth of his body. And all because I'd been so determined to avoid him. All because I wanted every single feeling I was beginning to develop for this man to disappear before it consumed me completely.But, of course, with every passing day, he made that so fu
[Alma]"What?" Sienna yelled. "Alma, what did you do?""I said I already have the papers signed, and I'll be resuming work on Monday as the new CEO.""You..." Sienna gasped.Whatever else she'd intended to say seemed to catch in her throat. I waited, holding the phone firmly against my ear, but nothing came. The silence stretched for several seconds, so long that I eventually pulled the phone away and glanced at the screen to make sure the call hadn't disconnected.It hadn't.I brought it back to my ear just as her voice came through."Oh, okay," she finally said.My brows creased.That was it? Wasn't she practically yelling at me just a moment ago? I stared at the phone, almost expecting her to continue arguing or remind me again why accepting the company was a terrible idea. Instead, her tone had suddenly changed, and I couldn't quite understand what to make of it."Since that's what you want, then that's okay. Remember, my birthday is in three days... We have to celebrate this new
[Alma]"Okay, I did it." I swallowed, my gaze shifting towards the closed door.Zevyn was downstairs. I'd asked him to hand me the papers so I could go through everything carefully before signing. Not exactly because I needed to... but because I would do just about anything to avoid being in his presence for longer than necessary.I didn't understand myself anymore. No matter how much I tried to pretend otherwise, no matter how many excuses I came up with or how desperately I tried to keep my distance, the truth remained the same.Deep down, I knew I was in love with that man.And knowing there was no way in hell he would ever reciprocate my feelings still hurt like hell.I gathered the files and carefully placed them back inside the folder, aligning the edges before closing it. My fingers tightened around the folder as I prepared to stand, but before I could even push my chair back, the loud ringtone of my phone suddenly pierced the silence of the room.I paused, my gaze dropping to
[Alma]One week later...I swallowed hard as I stared at the papers spread out in front of me, my name written boldly across them. My eyes lingered on the ownership documents for several seconds before shifting to the signature at the bottom. My signature. The very one that had taken me over two weeks to finally put down because Zevyn had been so damn insistent about handing the company over to me.And now, it was officially mine.Aside from that, it had been one week of trying so hard to suppress every single thing I felt for Zevyn. Of constantly reminding myself that whatever was happening between us meant nothing, that I needed to get my head straight before I allowed my feelings to drag me somewhere I had no business going.He had hardly been home this past week. Most mornings, all I found was a note left beside my bed, usually telling me he'd gone out and would be back later. And by the time he returned at night, I was either already asleep or pretending to be. Sometimes, I caugh
[Zevyn]"Zevyn..." she whispered, her voice thick with sleep. I lowered my face towards her hair. "Is that you?"I almost smiled."Who the hell else would it be, baby?"Her fingers tightened around the back of my neck, and she pressed her cheek more firmly against my chest. I adjusted my hold on her, making sure her weight was properly supported before glancing down at her face again."Why were you sleeping out here in the cold?" I asked quietly, brushing a loose strand of hair away from her cheek. "You should be upstairs in bed, baby.""I was worried."My steps faltered for a fraction of a second.She lifted her face slightly, though her eyes were still barely open. Her voice came out soft and sleepy, but there was a faint note of hurt beneath it."You were so bad. Not even a call or text... You didn't even care about me."I stared at her.For a moment, I couldn't think of anything to say. Her words were barely more than a sleepy complaint, yet they landed somewhere I hadn't expected
[Zevyn]My hand tightened around the steering wheel as I stared at the screen of my phone.Henry hadn't said a fucking word since that call. Not a message, not another call, not even a pathetic attempt to acknowledge the two weeks I'd given him to crawl out of whatever hole he'd been hiding in.Two weeks.That was all the time he had before I'd...My jaw tightened, and I swallowed the rest of the thought, my tongue refusing to form the next word.I would never hurt her. I knew that much. I fucking knew it. Whatever happened between Henry and me, Alma had nothing to do with the blood I'd been waiting all these years to spill. I needed that bastard exactly where I wanted him, and I knew he would eventually crawl out when he realised I wasn't bluffing. He had already made the mistake of reaching out to me. Now he knew I was watching, and he knew exactly what I was capable of.The thought brought a grim satisfaction to my face, but it disappeared almost immediately when I glanced at my ph
[Zevyn]I don’t lose control. But something about this green-eyed woman...The way she looked at me— like she already knew exactly what I was capable of—I let her stand there.Let her think. Let her try to piece it together—why she was here, what I really wanted, what she’d just broken.She was s
[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..
