The chandeliers blurred. My father’s words sank their claws in deeper.

I barely made it back to the room before my knees threatened to give out. Then I spotted him in the corner, phone pressed to his ear, and my stomach plummeted.

I shoved through the crowd, ignoring the curious stares, and burst through the heavy double doors. Cool night air slapped my face as I stepped outside.

“Ryder…Ryder!”

Melissa's heels clicked sharply behind me. She caught my arm, her nails digging in hard enough to

    “God, you look terrible. When was the last time you slept more than an hour?” Melissa asked as we pulled away from the kiss. “Work’s been…. You know how it is.” I tried to shrug it off, but my shoulders felt like lead.“Why don’t I take the stress off you for a few hours at least.” She leaned in and whispered against my ear, her full breasts pressing and dragging across my chest. Her hand slid down and worked my belt open. She pushed me onto the couch and straddled my lap, grinding slow. She kissed me again, took my hand, and pressed it to her breast.I yanked her closer, crushing her mouth against mine. Her lips parted under the insistent press of my own, as I devoured the taste of her. My tongue swept in, tangling with hers as my hands roamed down the curve of her hips. But this still couldnt stop my mind from spiraling. I broke the kiss with a sharp inhale, my grip sliding up to her shoulders. “I need you, baby,” she moaned as she tugged at my belt and slipped her hand inside m

    Ryder The overhead lights drilled into my skull. I squinted, forcing my eyes back to the page while rubbing them for the third time in ten minutes, but the words on the marriage contract still swam across the page in blurry black waves. Eight straight hours at this desk and my body was done. I scratched my signature across the bottom line without reading another word. It did not matter anyway. The announcement had already been made. Signing or not signing would not erase the cage I had just locked myself into.“Mr. Callahan?”I looked up. My assistant hovered in the doorway.“The car is here. Miss Melissa is waiting downstairs.”I checked my watch and nodded, dropping the file into the drawer while my hand supported my head. I was not sure I was ready for another round of paparazzi. As I stood up, I stretched my waist and rolled my shoulders to shake off the stiffness. My fingers drummed lightly on the wood as I lingered at the desk a moment longer, before I finally adjusted my suit

  • Our Dirty Little Secret    Chapter Forty Seven

    The days blurred into this suffocating haze of darkness and despair. I hadn’t left Hazel’s bed in what felt like forever. Time just… dissolved in the dim room, curtains pulled tight against the afternoon light that kept trying to sneak in anyway. I stayed curled up in the same ratty sweatpants, my hair clumping into greasy, matted strands that stuck to my neck whenever I shifted.Alcohol was the only thing that even came close to dulling the knife twisting in my chest. Each swallow burned down my throat, blurring the sharp edges of memories I couldn’t outrun. My savings were bleeding out with every delivery order, but the numbness… fuck, it felt like mercy. I drifted in and out of sleep, jerking awake only to press my face into the pillow and cry until my eyes burned, or to fumble blindly for the bottle on the nightstand. The days melted together in a fog I didn’t want to climb out of.The door creaked open. I didn’t bother lifting my head.Hazel pushed inside, the tray in her hands r

    I forced one foot in front of the other, the weight of my own body turning my thighs into dead weight that refused to cooperate. I dried my eyes desperate to look normal but fresh tears kept slipping down my cheeks no matter how hard I tried to stop them. I kept my head slightly down, wiping at my face with the back of my hand, forcing shallow breaths between the sobs I fought to contain. My chest felt like it was caving in, but I couldn’t fall apart here, not when people now post everything online.How had I let myself become such a fool?I had abandoned my job just to make sure he was safe. I lied to my boss, ignored every warning, and traded my last shred of stability for stupid love.Everything my parents ever said about me is true. I wish I had died instead of Allie. At least then the world would have lost the disappointment instead of the one who actually mattered.The memories of the future I had foolishly built in my heart taunted each step. A fresh wave of pain slammed into

    I couldn’t believe my legs still carried me away from Ryder. How could he be so cruel? What the hell changed in two nights? I could hear the sound of my heart breaking into pieces i didn’t know how to pick up. I held the wall for balance and stood on his porch, my hands shaking so hard I couldn't find the railing. The garden stretched out before me, I couldn't breathe, couldn't think, or do anything except stand there and feel the words he had spoken settle into my bones like poison.I heard the glass shattered inside the house, my hands trembled as I searched for my phone in my bag. I found my phone, my fingers hovered over Jax number tempting to spill everything. Memories of how Ryder would pick me on his shoulder, how we dance and drink and joke about everything. All that and he never loved me? The door opened behind me, I didn’t turn to look at him.“I’m leaving,” I whispered, pushing off the wall and swiping at my tears.“Dallas…..Dally,” he called then paused like he was thi

    RyderI wished there were other ways I could save her from all this. I wished there were other things I could do to put a long-lasting smile on her face, but there wasn’t. And it broke my heart to see how my words and actions had already carved lines of pain across her features.“What did you say?” Dallas asked in disbelief, her eyes blinked fast, too fast, the way they did when she was trying not to cry, trying to process something her brain refused to accept.“We shouldn’t be doing this,” I repeated, the words scraping out of my throat like broken glass. I set the wine glass down on the table with a dull clink, my fingers lingering on the stem a second too long, anything to keep from reaching for her. Her arms slumped against the kitchen island as she leaned into it for support, her shoulders curling inward like the fight was already draining out of her.My stomach twisted into knots so tight I could barely draw a full breath. If you love something, set it free. The old saying echoe

    “Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes?” My stomach dropped hard, a rush of heat and panic flooding my veins. I spun around slowly, heart slamming against my ribs, and there he was. Ryder. His dark eyes dragged slowly down my body, lingering on the plunging neckline of my tiny black satin dress, the cur

    Hazel leaned against the counter beside me, popping her gum with a loud, playful snap. Her hip cocked to one side, eyes dancing with knowing amusement as she studied me. “You’re staring at your phone as if it insulted you.” I looked up from behind the bar and shot her a sharp glare, jaw tightening

    DALLAS I woke up confused. For one horrible second, I didn’t know where I was. Then memory slammed into me all at once. I remembered the bar. I remembered Ryder waiting for my shift to be over, and I remembered falling asleep in his car. Crap. I sat up too fast and instantly regretted it when m

  • Our Dirty Little Secret    Chapter Fifteen

    I ignored Melissa’s text and returned to the bedroom with a blanket for Dally. She barely stirred as I pulled it over. She sighed softly and curled deeper into the mattress. My chest tightened painfully. She always looked different whenever she’s asleep, softer and younger, as if the world hadn’t c
