Once Discarded, I Married His Dearest Daddy Arousing Echoes
The clock on the dashboard of his car was glowing a harsh blue. It said 3:42 AM. The heavy leather folder sitting on the passenger seat next to him felt like it weighed fifty pounds. Marcus dragged a shaking hand down his face. His eyes were burning like someone had poured sand directly under his eyelids. He had spent the last seven unbroken hours cross-referencing the new Vandermeer routing codes just like she demanded. Every single number was perfectly aligned. Every column checked twice. He had skipped dinner. He hadn't even had a glass of water since 2 o'clock.Damien wanted the finalized manifests on his desk before the early morning executive meetings. He didn't have a choice. He had to deliver them tonight.The security gates of the estate hummed open with a low mechanical whine. Marcus drove his car up the winding path. The gravel driveway crunched loudly under his tires. It sounded way too loud in the dead of the night. The massive villa was mostly dark. Just the low secu

Once Discarded, I Married His Dearest Daddy The Broken Frame
The air conditioner in the corner of the ceiling was rattling. It was a stupid, rhythmic clicking sound that Marcus usually never noticed but tonight it was drilling straight into his skull.It was almost one in the morning. He was sitting in the dark of his harbor apartment. The only light was the ugly yellow glow bleeding in through the blinds from the streetlamps down on the docks.He hadn't turned on a single lamp since he got back. He just couldn't bring himself to hit the switch.His suit jacket was in a crumpled heap on the floor somewhere near the entryway. The tie was probably next to it. He was just in his undershirt and trousers now. He held a glass in his hand, the ice completely melted, watering down the two fingers of bourbon he had poured an hour ago.He brought it to his lips anyway. It tasted like metallic water and cheap wood. He swallowed it and let his head fall back against the leather sofa.He was so tired. His eyes felt like they were full of hot sand. But ever
Once Discarded, I Married His Dearest Daddy A Meeting at the Port
The diesel fumes from the massive straddle carriers were thick today, mixing with the heavy, greasy smell of low-tide salt water and wet concrete. The primary container terminal at Nice was a total labyrinth of rusted corrugated iron and massive steel boxes stacked four high against the blue sky. The heat was unforgiving by midday. It came down off the corrugated roofs in waves, cooking the pavement until the tar felt soft and sticky under a man's shoes.Diane walked along the edge of Section B with a slow, systematic stride that completely ignored the dust blowing off the gravel yard.She looked entirely untouched by the port, her eyes hidden behind those oversized sunglasses. A young terminal intern from the transit office walked half a step behind her, desperately trying to hold a massive white canvas sun umbrella over her head to shield her pale skin from the Mediterranean glare. She stayed entirely in the shade, looking cool, almost chillingly detached from the grit of the yar
Once Discarded, I Married His Dearest Daddy Creeping Paranoia
Sophia was beginning to hate it in London. It just wouldn't stop raining. Sophia didn't look up when the delivery courier buzzed the gate. She waited, her pulse jumping against the skin of her throat, until she heard the heavy drop of the mail through the brass slot on the front door.She didn't use a knife to open the heavy cardboard envelope. She tore at the thick paper with her fingernails, her thumbs ripping through the tracking labels until the card split wide open. Inside was a single, unlabelled thumb drive and a stack of glossy, high-contrast eight-by-ten prints. They smelled of cheap chemical ink and cold paper.She dumped them straight onto the unmade duvet, her knees knocking together as she dropped to her shins to sort through them.The first five were useless. They were just long-distance shots of the Voss Group garage entrance in Nice, the grain too heavy, the license plates blurred by the gray midday glare of the French coast. There was a photo of the company Mercede
Once Discarded, I Married His Dearest Daddy He Had No Say
Two days had passed since the gala. Two days of Marcus staring at that faded snapshot in his dark apartment, but today, the reality of the Voss Group tower hit him like a cold bucket of water.The main conference room on the forty-fifth floor smelled of expensive leather, ozone from the high-end projector systems, and freshly brewed espresso that nobody was actually drinking. The morning sun was cutting straight through the glass, hitting the long, polished mahogany table. It looked like a runway.Diane was already at her station, right at Damien's right hand. She wasn't wearing silk today. She was in a charcoal grey structured suit, the shoulders sharp, her hair pulled back into a tight, flawless knot at the base of her neck. She looked like an institution. Damien sat next to her, looking slightly distracted, his fingers tapping against his heavy gold signet ring while he reviewed a thick folder of maritime charts.Marcus was back at the far end of the table, his unpadded clerk’s c
