“Ready to see what I got you?” he asked. We were now seated in his living room. I sat on his lap while he reached into a leather bag resting beside the couch. His hands disappeared inside for a few moments before he pulled out a large brown envelope.

He held it up proudly. “Here you go.” I frowned. “A document?” I said taking it out of his hands. “A copy of a document.” he responded, Puzzled, I took it from him. “A document of what?” His smile widened. “Open it.”

    “Ready to see what I got you?” he asked. We were now seated in his living room. I sat on his lap while he reached into a leather bag resting beside the couch. His hands disappeared inside for a few moments before he pulled out a large brown envelope.He held it up proudly. “Here you go.” I frowned. “A document?” I said taking it out of his hands. “A copy of a document.” he responded, Puzzled, I took it from him. “A document of what?” His smile widened. “Open it.”I narrowed my eyes suspiciously. “You look way too excited.” “Just open it.” he pressed . Carefully, I slid the papers from the envelope. The first thing I noticed was the Aurex Media letterhead.My curiosity immediately intensified. Then I looked lower. My name. My eyes widened. I began reading.Dear Emma,You are hereby offered shares in Aurex Media…For a moment, I genuinely thought I was reading it wrong. I blinked. Then read it again. And again. My heart skipped.“What?!” I said as I shot up from Adrian’s lap so quickly

    And that was when the strange phone rang again. The sound immediately sent a jolt through my body. I recognized the ringtone instantly.Without thinking, I stepped away from Adrian and the workers, moving toward the far side of the storage building. Far enough that nobody could overhear me.My heart was already pounding before I answered. “Hello,” I said quickly. I didn’t even give her a chance to speak.“I need answers.” I said , But the woman spoke over me. “I need you to lure Adrian to a specific location tonight.” The words hit me like a bucket of ice water.“What?” I responded “I’ll send the details shortly.”“No.” I said as I stopped walking. “No, absolutely not.” My voice came out firmer than I intended. “I’ve been expecting a briefing on everything that’s been going on.”I lowered my voice and glanced behind me. Adrian was still helping direct some of the workers. Thankfully, he was too far away to hear. “I am owed an explanation for this.” I added For a moment, the woman di

    “You’ve packed all of your stuff already?” Adrian’s voice was filled with disbelief as he stepped out of his car.His black SUV was parked directly behind the moving truck that contained almost everything I owned. We were in front of his house . The surprise he’d supposedly brought me was long forgotten. The moment he’d arrived at the office and realized I’d disappeared, he’d called repeatedly until I finally told him where I was.“Yes,” I responded. “That was why I had to leave the office.” Adrian stood there for a moment, looking between me and the truck. His eyebrows slowly rose.“You weren’t joking.” “About what?”“Moving.”I folded my arms. “Why would I joke about moving?”“I don’t know.” He looked back at the truck. He took a deep breath and rubbed the back of his neck. The reality of the situation was clearly sinking in for him now. One of the loaders approached us.“Ma’am?”I turned toward him. “Are we unpacking them out here?” The men had been waiting for instructions for n

    I stood at the front porch and watched as the movers carried the last few boxes out of the house. Back and forth they went. Boxes. Suitcases. Storage containers.Garment bags. Every trip seemed to take another piece of my life with it. The moving truck was almost full now. Its doors remained open as the men carefully arranged everything inside.I had taken everything that belonged to me. Everything. Not just my clothes and personal belongings. The things that had made the house feel like home. The things I’d spent years choosing. The table vases. The decorative pieces. The scented diffusers. The framed artwork.The throw blankets. The candles.The little details nobody noticed until they disappeared. One by one, they had all been packed away. Now the house looked Like a luxury property waiting for a buyer rather than a place where someone had built a life.The movers were taking everything to Adrian’s house. A thought that still felt surreal every time it crossed my mind. The distincti

    The room suddenly felt quieter. Even with the music still playing downstairs. I picked it up carefully.The metal felt cool against my skin. Lighter than I remembered. For a long moment, I simply stared at it resting in my palm.Such a small thing. Yet it had once meant everything. I laughed softly to myself. Not because anything was funny. Because it was unbelievable how much could change.Once upon a time, I couldn’t imagine taking that ring off. Now it spent most of its time forgotten inside a drawer.I turned it between my fingers. The diamond still caught the light beautifully. Untouched by everything that had happened. The ring survived better than the marriage did.The thought made me smile sadly. After another moment, I carefully placed it back inside its velvet box.Then after some hesitation, I set the box inside a separate container from the rest of the jewelry. I closed the drawer and opened the next one. More jewelry. More accessories. More pieces collected over the years

    One section at a time. I reached for the first hanger. Then paused. The dress hanging there was one I hadn’t worn in almost two years. A dark blue evening dress. I remembered exactly where I’d worn it. Daniel’s company gala.The year Skybound won the campaign. The year everything still felt normal. For a moment, I simply stared at it. Then I sighed and folded it into the box.Keep. Next. A white blazer. One of my favorites.Keep. Another dress. Keep. Another. Keep. Ten minutes later, I realized I wasn’t actually packing.I was reminiscing. Every piece of clothing seemed attached to a memory. A vacation. A dinner. A celebration. An argument. A version of myself I barely recognized anymore.I sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at the growing pile. This was going to take forever. The music from the living room drifted softly into the bedroom.At least the silence wasn’t haunting me anymore. I stood again and resumed sorting. This time faster. Piece after piece.Soon one box became

    THE DREAM The sheets were cool beneath my palms, soft in that expensive room, which smelled faintly of him: clean, masculine, restrained. Power wrapped in silence. His arm was draped across my waist, heavy, anchoring, like it had every right to be there. Daniel.His breath brushed the back of my

    SHE KNOWS Clara’s knuckles hit the wooden door so loudly that both Adrian and I flinched. “Who is it ?” Adrian asked , he walked up to the door and opened it . “Emma, I need to speak to you” she said patiently waiting for me to get off the table. “Is everything okay Clara ?” Adrian asked . “Uhmm ,

    TOO MANY EYESI woke up in Adrian’s arms,Warm, Heavy, Possessive. His hand rested low on my waist, fingers splayed across my hip like he had claimed the entire night and still wasn’t done. My cheek was against his chest, rising and falling gently beneath me, his heartbeat steady… too steady for the

    UNRAVELING “Ready to go home?” he asked gently.Adrian came to get me. His face appeared in the doorway first. Warm. Bright. A little tired. But smiling,smiling like the sun had finally stopped hiding.He helped me sit up, supporting my back with a palm that felt steady and warm. His touch always fe
