They were both staring at me like I'd just told them I'd committed murder.

"You went to his house," Mila said. Her voice was flat. Dangerous.

"I didn't know," I said quickly. "I swear to God, I didn't know it was him."

"You went to his house," Jayson repeated. He was standing by the window, his jaw clenched so tight I thought his teeth might crack.

"I know how it looks—"

"Do you?" Mila asked. She was standing up now, pacing. "Do you actually know how this looks? You told me you deleted his cont

  • One Year With Mr.Kingland   The Judge

    The judge adjusted his glasses and began reading the standard lines. I listened with half my brain while the other half was already thinking about the photos. We would need good ones for the announcement. Official. Polished. The kind that would make it convincing if anyone actually cared. "Do you, Matthew Kingland, take Selena Jesus to be your lawful wedded wife?" Matthew didn't hesitate. "I do." His voice was flat. Businesslike. Like he was confirming a transaction rather than making a vow. Which, honestly, was what this was. "And do you, Selena Jesus, take Matthew Kingland to be your lawful wedded husband?" I said "I do" with a steady voice and a small smirk playing on my lips. I could feel Matthew's eyes flick toward me, probably registering the smirk. Good. Let him know I wasn't taking it seriously enough to be nervous. The judge didn't seem to notice or care. He just continued with the practiced words, moving through the ceremony like we were the hundredth couple he'd joinw

  • One Year With Mr.Kingland   Perfect girl

    He'd stopped having dreams about that night years ago. The mind had a way of moving past things if you were disciplined about it. If you didn't let yourself revisit the details, and kept yourself occupied with enough lesson planning and student conferences that there wasn't even a space in your head for the past.It had worked remarkably well, until the third period on a random Tuesday in October, when Fl walked in late, something she never did—and he felt the ground shift beneath his feet.She looked like Madison. thankfulky not enough that anyone else would notice. But there was something in the shape of her face. The way she carried her shoulders. The watchfulness in her eyes. That quality of observing rather than simply existing.Madison had watched him too. He remembered that. The way her eyes would follow him around the classroom. The way she would stay after class to ask questions that seemed carefully constructed to circle around something else entirely.He'd made a mistake wi

    "Hey, can you stop flexing your chest all around the house? It's fucking disgusting. I'm sure you think you look cool, but sorry—you just look ridiculous."The words left my mouth before I could stop them. Kelvin stood in the doorway of the living room, fresh from the gym, still in his tank top with sweat glistening down his arms. He just looked at me, that soft expression on his face making it worse.He's nothing but a sweet soul. That's the problem.Yeah, he's got muscles that make you lose your mind a little. Yeah, his face is unfairly handsome in a way that pisses me off. But it's the niceness that gets me. That gentle, apologetic thing he does with everything. People like that are fake as hell—hiding behind all that "good guy" bullshit."I'm sorry, Helen. I never meant to bother you."His voice was so low, so fucking *innocent*. I wanted to scream.I'd done everything to get him to snap at me. To yell. To show some edge. But Kelvin just apologizes and takes it like he deserves it

  • One Year With Mr.Kingland   Normal Living

    [Vivian's POV]I didn't sleep.I lay in the guest room—the one with the pale blue walls and the view of the oak trees—and I stared at the ceiling. My phone was in my hand. I could have texted him. I could have called her. I could have done a thousand things that would have made this real.Instead, I just lay there and watched the hours pass on my phone screen. 2:47 AM. 3:15 AM. 4:33 AM. The numbers blurred together.By 6 AM, I got up. I showered. I made myself into the version of Vivian that goes downstairs for breakfast. Composed. Functional. The kind of woman who slept well and didn't spend the night on her knees in the kitchen.I could lie with my whole body now.---They were both at breakfast.Of course they were. Why wouldn't they be? They thought they'd gotten away with it. They thought I was at work, completely unaware, completely stupid.They thought I didn't know.Bryan was making eggs. Again. Like yesterday. Like nothing had changed. He was humming—actually *humming*—while

  • One Year With Mr.Kingland   Four Blocks Away

    "Bryan, sweetheart, could you come help me with this zipper?"I heard my mother's voice from the bedroom—high and bright, the way it gets when she's performing happiness. I heard his footsteps pad across the hardwood floor. I didn't hear any hesitation. That's the thing I couldn't forgive later: there was no hesitation at all.I was awake. Not fully, but enough. Enough to understand, on some level, what that eagerness meant.I didn't do anything about it.Instead, I rolled over and waited. Waited for him to come back. Waited to hear his footsteps, which never came. That's when I started to understand. Not the specifics—not yet—but the shape of something wrong.By the time I got downstairs, they'd already cleared their little scene. The kitchen smelled like coffee and normalcy. Mother sat at the island in her lavender silk robe, the one she saves for days when she wants to look effortlessly beautiful. The robe was buttoned all the way up.People don't realize how much you can see in wh

    Matthew walked into the Kingland Holdings office building and felt eighteen months of distance collapse.Everything was familiar. The lobby design hadn't changed. The elevator banks were the same. The executive floor layout was identical.But everything was also completely different. Because eighte

  • One Year With Mr.Kingland   The Weeding

    The mansion gardens had been transformed without becoming unrecognizable.Simple white flowers hung from strings between trees. Chairs arranged in two sections facing a stone arch. No stage, no grand performance space. Just a place where two people could stand and say things they actually meant.Se

    Selena woke slowly to the pale morning light slipping through the curtains. Her body still felt weak, but the fever had finally broken. For a few quiet seconds, she simply lay there listening to the soft sound of rain tapping against the windows.Then her eyes shifted toward the armchair beside the

  • One Year With Mr.Kingland   The Heart Is Too Strong

    Selena didn't sleep. She lay in the dark listening to the mansion settle—pipes shifting, the distant hum of the AC, the weight of what happened on the terrace pressing down on her like something physical. Every time she closed her eyes, she felt it: the heat of his mouth on hers. The way he'd tilted
