Never surrender to an arrogant playboy again Chapter 7
ViolaI watched Bryce move around my house so easily and naturally. He looked totally at home here. For a second, I felt like I was the stranger in my own place."What are you doing here?" I asked sharply.Shock washed over me first, then pure panic settled hard in my chest. My eyes darted all over the room. I was subconsciously looking for any way to escape this awkward, suffocating situation."Oh, hey, you're home early!"Lucas smiled warmly at Bryce before turning his gaze to me, completely unaware of how tense I was."I was just telling Bryce to make himself comfortable here.""He always feels so comfortable here." My voice came out high and tight.Bryce smirked and sat on the couch casually."He's staying with us for a little while. Just a few weeks. Until he sorts out a new place to stay." Lucas said.I stared at my brother in shock. I could barely process his words."He's staying with us. Here. In our house.""Yep," Lucas nodded simply. He had no clue how horrified and flustere

ViolaI stepped out of Greg's office. My fingertips were still tight. I took slow breaths to calm myself down, trying to push Bryce Mulholland right out of my head for just a second.But every single one of my coworkers was talking about Bryce Mulholland."Did you see the gala photos? Bryce showed up. He's nothing like the other guys there. Everyone else dressed up in fancy suits, but he just wore jeans and a button-down. Somehow he still looked better than all those polished, well-dressed men in the whole room." Sarah, the junior researcher, leaned over the cubicle wall. She could barely hold back how excited she was."Right? Oh my god, just look at his face and his body. He could walk into a party wrapped in a plastic bag and still outshine everyone." Kate, another reporter, jumped in."I heard he left really early. Probably a supermodel was waiting for him back in his hotel room. No one's seen him out in public for six months, and then he walks in looking exactly like James Bond."

ViolaI never went back to my hotel room. I hopped in a cab and headed home instead.The last thing I wanted was to stay in the same building with Bryce. I didn't want to run into him at all.This arrogant jerk! Liar! Cheater!I lived in a villa with my older brother Lucas. He was the perfect housemate. He was a surgeon and his schedule was brutal, so he was always away for work trips. Most days, the house was all mine.He was out of town tonight too, but I wished he wasn't. I would've given anything for him to ramble about nothing, just to pull my mind away from Bryce. But every thought kept circling back to Bryce, stuck on the image of him in nothing but a towel.It wouldn't leave my head. My skin burned hot just thinking about him.A cold shower did absolutely nothing to quiet the restless twist low in my stomach.I stood under the running water, my fingers brushing over my skin, and I couldn't stop imagining what it would feel like if those big broad hands of his were on me instea

BryceViola left. She didn't glance back at me as she marched toward the door.I never imagined our reunion could turn out this messy and dramatic.I actually spotted her at the gala a long time before this moment. When I walked into this room, I caught the smell of alcohol right away. At first, I thought some obsessed fan had snuck in to pry into my private life. Then I recognized her high heels under the bed.My heart tightened fast. Why was Viola inside my room? I had no clue what to say to her. I decided to act like nothing strange was going on and take a shower to calm myself down first.I never expected Vivian to show up out of nowhere. I had turned this woman down so many times already, but she still kept coming after me. I hoped Viola would not get the wrong idea.Yet the second I watched her storm out in anger, I knew she had misunderstood everything. She must have taken Anne for another one of my lovers.The room suddenly felt overwhelmingly empty.I should have tried to exp

ViolaMy blood turned out to be as cold as ice.How did he know it was me hiding under the bed? Did he have some kind of super power?My brain totally went blank."You can come out now," he added, taking one slow step toward the bed.Nowhere to hide. Game over. Done. Spectacularly, humiliatingly done. Ugh, why can't I be a pangolin? Then I could dig a hole and bolt in instantly.He knelt down, and our eyes locked. Those blue eyes were full of teasing. Oh god, his face. It was still perfect, even sharper with newfound confidence and swagger, and it made me burn with humiliation.He held out a hand toward me and said, "What? Planning to spend the night under my bed?"I took a deep, shaky breath and put my hands on the carpet. I was completely humiliated, but ten years of building myself up wasn't just going to vanish. If I was going down, I was going down swinging.I pushed his hand away and crawled out from under the bed. I hoped playing it cool could rescue the dignity I had left.I f

ViolaThe shower was so loud, and it should have drowned out my heartbeat. Instead, it just made the beat sound louder.Through the frosted shower glass which I could still see, steam rolled out into the room like fog. And in the middle of that steam, his silhouette moved.Don't think about his body, I told myself. Think about what a jerk he used to be. Think about how he humiliated you and crushed your heart. Think about how much you hated him.And I did hate him. At least, I'd been trying to for ten years.My brain dragged me back to a time I'd spent years trying to bury.Before he was the untouchable king of racing, before he was a billionaire playboy dating supermodels, he was just Bryce. The boy next door. My older brother's best friend. And my total dream guy as well as my nightmare.As for me, I was Viola. Plain Viola. If there was a prize for being aggressively average, I'd have won it without any doubt. I was the wallflower, not the movie kind with a secret genius hidden unde
