[Vivienne]

I rush into his arms, feeling the tension melt away as he holds me tightly. “I missed you, Harvey.”

“I missed you too, kiddo,” he replies, giving me a reassuring squeeze before stepping back to look at me. “Are you okay? That must have been pretty stressful. I’m so sorry that you have to go through that.”

“I’m fine now,” I smile up at him, feeling truly blessed to have a big brother like him. “But what are you doing here? I thought you were busy. At least, that’s what the receptionis

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 14

    The ride to my apartment is a complete blur of screeching tires, flashing red lights, and me praying to every deity I can think of that my mother doesn’t have a stopwatch.“We’re here,” Sweet Poison murmurs, smoothly pulling the beautiful beast of a car right up to the curb of my building. He doesn’t even look out of breath. Meanwhile, I look and feel like I just survived a hurricane.“You are a lifesaver,” I say, meaning it like hell, frantically unbuckling the seatbelt. I throw open the door, but before I can slip out, I stop and glance back at him.Under the dim streetlights, his dark eyes are watching me with that same quiet, utterly devastating charm. “I owe you. Big time. Like, name-my-firstborn-child-after-you kind of owe you.”He lets out a soft, low chuckle. “I’ll hold you to that, sweetheart. Now go. Run.”I don’t need to be told twice. I sprint out of the car, burst through the lobby doors, and practically throw myself into the elevator. Come on, come on, come on! The numbe

    Oh, I’m not complaining either.How could I? The man standing in front of me is everything a woman could ever want. At least, physically speaking. Not only is he drop-dead gorgeous, but that body... that body is literally fire.You know the kind you see in movies? The kind where the female lead gets to run her fingers through those very edible, perfectly sculpted abs, and just watching it makes something inside you instantly want to grab onto something tight?Yup. That exact one.However, before I can even think of a smart comeback to his charming little line, he closes the space between us.He leans down slowly, giving me plenty of time to back out. But I don't. I close my eyes as his fingers gently rest against my jaw. His touch is so light it makes my breath catch. This isn’t like the wild, messy kiss inside the club meant to break Luca's brain. This feels real. Almost too real.However, our lips are a second away from touching when the universe decides it's not the right time yet.

    He absolutely did.And the absolute best part? He said it with the calm, serene confidence of a preschool teacher explaining to a toddler why we don’t eat the crayons.Luca looks seconds away from exploding. His chest rises and falls with sharp breaths, and his gaze darts around the room as he realizes his own friends are enjoying every second of this humiliation. His wrist is still trapped in Sweet Poison’s grip, and judging by the strain on Luca’s face, the hold is a lot stronger than Sweet Poison’s relaxed posture suggests.“I am not saying please to you,” Luca spits out, though it loses a bit of its bite when his voice cracks on the last word.“Suit yourself,” Sweet Poison says smoothly. He gives a casual, effortless shrug, which unfortunately forces his bicep to flex right against my arm. Focus, Arianna. Petty drama first, drooling over the stranger later. “We can stand here all night. I don’t mind. I have excellent stamina.”My traitorous brain immediately latches onto that comm

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 11

    It happens too fast.One minute, I’m clinging to this dark and handsome guy whose lips taste like stars and moonlight, and the next minute, I’m being ripped away from his arms—away from his lips—forcing me to scowl."What the heck, Arianna!?"It takes my brain a second too long to realize that the angry-looking man roaring right in my face is none other than Luca, my recently dumped ex-boyfriend.And when I say he looks angry, I’m clearly underselling it. With the lights back on and the music practically dead, I can see and hear much better now.And wow. He looks furious. Absolutely furious. His face has turned bright red, and his eyes have gone so wide they look like they might pop right out of his head.I flash him an adorable grin. "Nothing much. Just having some fun. What about you? Did you like my surprise? I worked really hard on it."For a second, his anger shifts into confusion before his expression twists like he wants to rip his own hair out."You call this a surprise? More

    The music begins, loud and heavy, filling every corner of the room, and the girls start dancing. I do too. I may not be a professional, but Lorraine taught me this at a sleepover once. She’s also a freelance choreographer—if I forgot to mention that before.The beat drops, low and heavy, vibrating through the floor and up my legs, and for a second, I let it take over.No thinking. No second-guessing.Just movement.I roll my shoulders, let my hips follow, my body slipping into the rhythm like it’s second nature. The girls behind me fall into sync, their movements sharp and confident, their laughter soft and practiced.And me?I’m smiling.Not because I’m enjoying this. Not really.But because every pair of eyes in this room is exactly where I want them to be.On me.Especially Luca’s.He would have never guessed that I could move like this—that I could do anything e

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 9

    [Benjamin]Stand there and look pretty, she said.And she said it with so much confidence that I almost gave in and said, “Why, thank you!”Which, to say the least, is worlds apart from what I should be saying to a stranger who thinks dragging me out here for God knows what is the most normal thing to do.It isn’t—just in case you’re wondering.I just had an ugly argument with an asshole assistant who, for lack of a better word, completely screwed up my entire business trip with his incompetence.You would think someone who’s trained for months would know how to handle simple tasks—like not booking the wrong flight, not scheduling meetings at impossible times, and definitely not losing my confidential files. But no. Instead of doing what he was supposed to do, he decided to act like he was doing me a favor by showing up late and expecting me to clean up after his mess.So no, I’m not in the mood to be dragged into some random club by a woman who thinks she can hire me for some vague j

    [Vivienne]Not sure if I should believe Kim or not, but I let it go for the time being.If she genuinely felt threatened by me because she has feelings for my brother, maybe I shouldn’t judge her too harshly for acting on impulse.I mean, nothing she says could ever justify what she did, but if anyone

    [Vivienne]When I get home, I check my emails and find Lola’s right in the middle of all the others I still need to read. She must have sent me the list of customers who are returning the pieces they bought, claiming they were sold fakes.What a ridiculous scheme. Did they really think we wouldn’t sus

    [Vivienne]The very next morning, I go to see my brother at his office.But the moment I tell him the reason for my visit, he frowns, hard.“You want to resign?” he asks, not quite able to believe it—well, probably.Maybe because this whole “working as a normal employee under him” was my idea in the fir

    [Vivienne]“What the hell just happened?”Anna says, once we leave the police station and wait for Marcus to bring out the car.I chuckle. This girl is so damn innocent and adorable. I can’t believe she has been going through so much for so long and I didn’t even have a clue.I stuff my hands into the p
