Hailey's POV

I pushed through the gym door to look for Aiden. Even though he said I should go back, I really really want to have lunch with him.

My heart was still fluttering from the way he had defended me in class—and I wonder if, maybe he's finally feeling a spark between us too?

I've accepted that I'm crushing on him. It's not hard to like someone like him.

He's just so... perfect. Insanely smart, funny, and so handsome.

I mean, sure, he's a little quiet sometimes, and he did say he's in a relationship but I can wait for him.

What can his girlfriend possibly have that I don't?

During the presentation, he kept glancing my way, that must mean he's into me. There's no other logical explanation.

But as the door swung shut behind me, I froze. What the hell?

There, in the middle of the empty space, was Aiden. On his knees. In front of a guy—

Oh my God. The guy had his pants open, his hand fisted in Aiden's hair, and Aiden... Aiden was... sucking him off. Right there. Like it was th

  • RUIN MY 4.0   CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN: BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

    Aiden's POV I toss and turn in my bed, my sheets twisting around my legs like they're trying to strangle me.Sleep's been impossible these past few days—because every time I close my eyes, it's Nikolai's face I see, his smirk, his hands on me, him owning every inch of my body. And then the familiar ache hits, a frustrating, throbbing need that won't let up.I groan into my pillow, flipping onto my back and staring at the ceiling. The room's pitch black except for the faint glow from my phone on the nightstand.I reach for it, squinting at the screen. Midnight. Exactly midnight. Shit, it's officially Lily's birthday.I push myself up, rubbing my eyes. I can't just lie here feeling sorry for myself. I swing my legs over the edge of the bed, the cool floorboards creaking under my feet as I pad across the room in my boxers.The house is dead quiet.I slip out into the dark hallway, the dim nightlight from Lily's room guiding me.Her door's cracked open a bit and I push it wider, step

  • RUIN MY 4.0   CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX: GOING BACK

    Nikolai's POV I groaned, my eyelids fluttering open to the harsh reality of cold, hard tile pressing against my cheek. What the fuck? My entire body screamed in protest—every muscle felt like it'd been run through a meat grinder, aches radiating from my shoulders down to my goddamn toes.I must've passed out here last night, or early this morning, whatever the hell time that workout was. "Son of a bitch," I muttered, my voice gravelly and thick with sleep. I pushed myself up on one elbow, wincing as my ribs protested. "Fuck me, that hurts."Just as I was coming to my senses, my phone started buzzing on the floor beside me. The screen lit up, an unknown number flashing across it. I snatched it up, thumbing the answer button without thinking twice. "Yeah?" I barked, rubbing the back of my neck where a cramp had started."Hello, this is Sweet Delights Bakery," a perky woman's voice chirped on the other end, way too cheerful for whatever hour this was. "We're just following up on y

  • RUIN MY 4.0   CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE: WHY?

    Aiden's POVThe sun's dipping low, casting long shadows across the cracked sidewalk, and my body's aching from my busy day.That meeting with Dr. Halvorsen this morning should've had me floating on cloud nine, but instead, it's like there's a weight pressing down on my chest, making every breath feel heavy. I swing off the bike, kicking the stand down and chaining it to the rickety fence post.My helmet comes off next, and I run a hand through my sweat-damp hair. Suddenly, I spot Lily huddled on the front doorstep of mom's house with her knees drawn up to her chest. She's staring at the ground, picking at a loose thread on her jeans, her mind lost in thought.I sigh, the sound escaping before I can stop it. With the way Lily's been withdrawn since we left Nikolai's house, you'd think he's her brother and not me. I approach her slowly, my boots scuffing against the pavement, not wanting to startle her. "Hey, Lil," I say, keeping my voice light. "What's wrong? You look like you lost

  • RUIN MY 4.0   CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR: A HOLLOW FEELING

    Aiden's POVTHREE DAYS LATER...I stand under the scalding spray, steam curling thick around me like smoke, my hand locked tight around my cock. It’s throbbing so hard it almost hurts, slick with water and pre-cum, and for the first few strokes it feels fucking incredible.I press my back to the cool tile, my legs spreading wider as my other hand slips between my ass cheeks. Two fingers push in easily because I’m already so loose from thinking about him all morning.“Ahhh… Nikolai…” The moan rips out of me, shamelessly bouncing off the walls but I can’t stop myself even if I wanted to.His name is the only thing that makes sense right now. “Fuck… Nikolai, yes… right there, baby…” I pump my fist faster, my hips snapping forward into my grip while my fingers curl inside me, stroking that spot that makes my knees shake.I don't care that water splashes everywhere.“Oh God—Nikolai, harder… please, fuck my ass…” My voice cracks. I’m so loud, praying the walls of my room are thick enoug

  • RUIN MY 4.0   CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE: SADNESS

    Nikolai's POVI stared at the manila folder while Mom's eyes bored into me. I let out a scoff, rolling my eyes as I reached for it. Why the hell did she do a background check on Aiden anyway? Whatever. I'll just glance at whatever it is, tell her to fuck off politely, and then crawl back under the covers to nurse my misery in peace.I flipped the folder open, scanning the top sheet. It was a lab report—bla bla bla. I ignored everything I saw until I came across: "Paternity Test Results"I blinked at the words, my brain lagging behind. It was a test on Roman Serrano... and Aiden Cross. DNA markers listed in neat columns, percentages, probabilities.The conclusion at the bottom was: "Probability of Paternity: 99.999%."What the actual fuck?A harsh scoff bubbled up from my chest before I could stop it.I slapped the folder shut and tossed it back toward her, shaking my head. "Mom, this is... this is a joke, right? A really shitty one. If you're trying to keep us apart, this is a horrib

    Nikolai's POV TWO DAYS LATER...The world was a hazy, throbbing mess when the door to my penthouse beeped open.Who the hell was that?I didn't even bother lifting my head from the cold marble floor—hell, I couldn't if I tried. My body felt like it'd been run over by a freight train.Fuck, I shouldn't have drank that much alcohol. That had been my brilliant idea to numb the heartache that wouldn't leave my chest.One glass turned into the whole damn bottle, and now here I was, sprawled out like a pathetic drunk in my own living room, the empty glass container mocking me from inches away.Viktor's voice cut through the fog in my head. "Boss, I've been calling you for days. You haven't seen picki—Holy shit!"I could hear the panic in his voice. "Nikolai, what the hell?" His boots thudded closer, and then he was kneeling beside me, his hands rough but careful as they gripped my shoulders."Tell me you didn't drink this entire bottle of alcohol. Fuck, your injuries—look at you! You're
