JENNA’S POV

"I said get off me!" I shoved both hands flat against his chest, but he didn't budge an inch.

"I tried to call you," Alec rasped. He gripped my wrist tighter, pressing my palm flush against his chest so I could feel his jagged, uneven breathing. "I called you twenty fucking times, Jenna. You ignored every single one."

"Because you were sleeping in Kylie's bed!" The words spilled out of me, bitterly. "You kept me waiting in that apartment for a whole week, Alec. I thought you were co

    “I don’t know what Roman was thinking, sending you here” I paused when I saw his jaw tightened. “And I don’t know what you were thinking, agreeing to it. You coming here is the worst thing to happen this week…gosh I was having a good week” I sighed muttering the last part but I knew he heard it.He clenched his fist and I almost jumped in excitement. He’s still a good boy, still responsive as I remembered.I waited for his comeback response but it never came, instead he walked into the living room, dropped his bag beside the couch and sat down.“I’m here because I can’t say no to my friend, you’d have to deal with that sweetheart” he smirked, resting on my couch like a king.I snorted “ I could tell Dad—““And Roman will lose his Job, are you that wicked”“Well as cruel as it sounds, it’s the only way to get freedom from being stalked and monitored”He laughed “You really don’t know your father do you?”I rolled my eyes.He might be right.“I’m going back to bed” I didn’t wait for his

    JENNA’S POV"I said get off me!" I shoved both hands flat against his chest, but he didn't budge an inch."I tried to call you," Alec rasped. He gripped my wrist tighter, pressing my palm flush against his chest so I could feel his jagged, uneven breathing. "I called you twenty fucking times, Jenna. You ignored every single one.""Because you were sleeping in Kylie's bed!" The words spilled out of me, bitterly. "You kept me waiting in that apartment for a whole week, Alec. I thought you were coming to see me. I thought that key meant something. But you were with her!"Alec winced, a flicker of pain crossing his bloodshot eyes. He leaned in closer, his dark stubble grazing my cheek as he lowered his head to my eye level."Look at me," he commanded softly, his tone shifting to desperation. "Look at my face, Jenna."I pulled back as far as the brick wall allowed, but I couldn't stop my eyes from scanning him. Up close, I could see the faint yellowing bruise along his jawline and the smal

    “Fuck!” I groaned, grabbing my pounding head as if it could stop the pain.I didn’t know how long I slept but I knew that immediately Grace and Liza left I crashed. I dragged myself out of bed so I could get medicine and water from the kitchen and end this little misery the effect of alcohol had put me.But as I opened my bedroom door, the smell of warm French toast and cinnamon hit me from the kitchen.“Good fucking morning” I mumbled under my breath and walked right past the island toward the bathroom without looking at Roman standing by the stove.I left the door open last night because I couldn’t be wicked enough to let him sleep in the lobby.I took my time getting ready. I showered, brushed my teeth, threw on a dark sweater and jeans, and grabbed my bag.When I walked out toward the front door, Roman stepped into my path. He held out a plate loaded with French toast, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with fresh strawberries. My absolute favorite.My stomach let out a traito

    JENNA’S POVA whole week had passed.Every single day, I unlocked that back metal door and left it sitting slightly open. Waiting for him to just walk in.But It never happened.Every time I brought it up with Roman, he’d just shrug and say he didn’t know why Alec hadn't shown up either.Even now, as he was driving me to campus, I knew Roman could feel my eyes burning into the side of his face. He knew exactly what was running through my mind.Before I could even open my mouth to ask the same damn question for the hundredth time, Roman spoke up.“Have you texted him, Jenna?”I squeezed my phone tight in my hand, staring down at the dark screen before shaking my head. “No.”My pride wouldn’t let me. There was no way in hell I was going to look desperate like I was the only one obsessed with whatever mess was going on between us.“I think you should just ask him yourself.”“I’m not doing that,” I snapped, looking back out the passenger window. “He’s the one who promised he’d come. I did

    JENNA’S POVWe walked down the hallway until we reached the double doors marked 4B at the very end. Roman swiped the master keycard over the digital sensor, and the lock clicked open with a quiet beep.He pushed the door inward and carried my heavy suitcases inside, setting them neatly by the entryway.I stepped in after him, looking around the space. The apartment was way bigger than I expected. Floor-to-ceiling windows lined the living room wall, showing a view of the city skyline, and the whole place was already fully furnished with sleek leather couches, modern light, and a modern kitchen.My dad really threw money at this just to keep me away from Alec. The irony made me want to laugh."Everything's set up," Roman said, turning back toward the front door. "The pantry's stocked, Wi-Fi password is on the counter, and I'll be stationed downstairs in the lobby or right outside this door."I frowned ‘’Ohh..Why don`t you stay in here with me?’’“I’m sure you will need your privacy, don

    JENNA’S POVHours passed, and he still hadn’t opened my messages. I closed my text app and spent the next hour mindlessly scrolling through TikTok, hoping that by the time I checked my phone again, he’d have read them and replied.When I finally reopened our chat, the read receipt was there and the little typing bubble popped up. It stayed on the screen for a long, agonizing moment, vanished, and didn't come back.I let out a heavy sigh, tossing my phone onto the bed.Then my phone dinged with a fresh notification. I grabbed it off the duvet, my heart doing a quick flutter as I opened his text.You should go, it read.I stared at the screen, my brow furrowing as I quickly typed back: He hired Roman to stop us from seeing each other, Alec. I can’t go.His reply came back almost instantly.Listen to him.A bitter scoff escaped my lips. Fine. If he wanted me gone, I’d leave. But he needed to understand that once I walked out that door, he was never going to see me again.I grabbed my two

    I dressed up and went downstairs for dinner. Anna was placing some plates on the table, so I joined her, helping arrange them.“Is Dad having dinner with us? He’s not back, is he?” I asked, adjusting the forks.“No, he’ll have his when he’s back,” she replied.“Then who is the extra plate for?” I a

    His body froze, mid-thrust. The girl beneath him whimpered, confused by the sudden halt.For a beat, a long, agonizing beat, he simply stared. Then, a slow, chilling smirk spread across his lips. His eyes, still locked on mine, held a malicious glint. The girl cried out a gasp of pleasure as he sla

It rang then went str
