Aiden’s POV

My hands tremble as i runs a hand over my face—I can’t express the type of raw pain I’m feeling .I pick up my phone, scrolling through my recent calls with shaking fingers.My breathing is ragged now, rage and fear building inside me with every moment of silence.

I quickly tap on Tiana’s name,bringing the phone to my ear,mind tense as i wait for Jorge to pick up. It seems to take forever for him to answer...

The phone rings—once, twice
 then silence. Jorge isn’t picking up.I grip the phone so hard the screen cracks under my fingers.

Silence. Then—click.

Jorge:”Ohhh, look who finally grew a spine.Miss me already”

I’m barely fighting to keep my anger in check.

“Cut the crap, Jorge. You know what I want. I'm sick of your goddamn games.Let. Her. Go.”

“I can’t have my wife back can I? She’s gone forever all because of you and now,you’re gonna suffer the same pain I suffer”.

“You want me to suffer? Fine. But she has nothing to do with this. You hurt her—touch her again—and I sw

  • Possessive gentleman    Sweet surrender

    Chapter 15Leila immediately perks up at the sound of my voice, her eyes zeroing in on the ice cream like she's a damn bloodhound. She practically vaults over the couch to get to me, snatching it out of my hands before I can even blink. “You’re a literal angel.I was this close to going to his house and burning all his suits.“I laugh.“How were you coping without me?”She sighs, collapsing in a dramatic heap on the counter—still eating the ice cream straight out of the bucket. “Lonely. And bored. Soooo bored.You took forever.Also I wanted ice cream.Thought I was gonna die.Why were you late anyways?”“Aiden obviously”.“Alright,start spilling every thing.IN DETAILS!”“Okay okay.So when he picked me up,the whole drive was kinda
 awkward.Well,I think he was just nervous,and me too”.She squeals as she grabs my arm, shaking me slightly like she's trying to get the details to come out faster.“You were both nervous?? God, I can just picture you guys all quiet and awkward like two idiot

  • Possessive gentleman    Rekindled

    Chapter 14“Rise and shine sleeping beauty,you’ve got a dumbass to see today.” Leila nudges me.“I’m not gonna go this early”,i groan at her.She grabs a pillow and smacks me with it playfully. “It’s not that early. You can’t spend all day in bed. And I know you. I give you two hours tops before you start getting antsy.“She pulls the covers off me as I slowly get out of bed.I pinch her before going to the kitchen.“What the hell?! That’s assault!“She rubs the offended area dramatically—still scowling playfully.“I will not be bullied in this damn house, Tiana! I’m gonna get you back for that.”“Yeah yeah.Hey,i don’t wanna go alone to meet Aiden.I want you to come with me.”“Hell no. Sorry, but I am not getting dragged into some weird third wheel situation. Besides, you and Aiden need to talk things through.But maybe I’ll just tag along to make sure he doesn’t do anything stupid.But I swear to God if you two kiss or anything while I’m there
”I burst out laughing.“We won’t kiss.

  • Possessive gentleman    Fresh start

    Chapter 13“Tiana
 just walk. Don’t look back. Keep moving.Ignore him.“ Leila persuades me.But seeing him just lights something in me,i don’t know why.“Just hold on Tiana
” He speaks.I falter—Leila's words forgotten in the face of that voice. Against every instinct in my body,I hesitate—my heart pounding in my ears, my stomach twisting into a million different knots.I want to keep walking. I want to just
 pretend i never heard him,move away, keep my life safe and simple, like i did before. He takes a careful step forward—“Tiana
 please
 I wanna talk.”Aiden exhales sharply—His expression is carefully guarded, but his voice cracks with something uncharacteristically raw when he speaks. “I want you to hear me out. That’s all. Just
 five minutes.Five minutes and then if you tell me to go
 I’ll never bother you again.“I take a quick look at Leila.She hesitates—looking between us carefully,probably weighing the situation for a moment.I can see the desperation in Aiden's eyes, the

  • Possessive gentleman    Lost trust

    My eyes open slowly and I see myself laying on Aiden’s bed.I try to recall what happened but my brain seemed to have gone blank.Aiden is sitting on the edge of the bed,his elbows resting on his knees,fingers threaded together and pressed against his mouth like he’s been waiting—watching.“Hey
 you with me? How do you feel?”“What—happened?”His hand settles gently against my cheek,thumb brush under my eye with a touch so careful,it’s almost reverent.His voice is softer than I’ve ever heard it.“You passed out on us.Scared the hell out of me
. Jorge’s dead,you’re safe.”“What? Where’s—Lei-Leila?” I say tiredly.“In the living room.Robin and Jamie are there too.Nyx is probably getting spoiled by her now.You sure you’re okay? No dizziness? Headache?”“I’m fine.”My memory kicking back in.I remember everything.His fingers tighten over mine for a moment.“Babe I’m sorry okay? I never meant to lie to you.”“But yet,you did.You put me and my friend in danger Aiden”. I sit up,anger washing

  • Possessive gentleman    Reckoning in the shadows

    Chapter 11I move away from that room,my hands shaking with the gun in it.My steps are silent as I navigate the dim corridors, heart hammering against my ribs. Every shadow feels like a potential threat, every distant sound a possible enemy.“Keep moving
 don’t stop.Just find an exit.”I I whisper to myself.The gun weighs heavy in my hand—untested, unfamiliar—but still better than nothing.A door creaks somewhere ahead.I freeze,pressing myself flat against the nearest wall before slipping into another room unseen.I crouch behind a stack of crates, listening for footsteps. The warehouse is eerily quiet, but I know better than to let my guard down.I grip the gun tighter—even if I don’t know how to use it, the weight in my hand feels like some kind of safety.“Think
 think
 there has to be a way out.“I mutter in a shaky exhale.My eyes dart toward the far end of the room—a faint glow under what looks like an exit door.“Just get there.“I steel myself,moving low and fast toward it.I caref
