Rejected by One, Wanted by Another The Fitting Room
Lucy walked back to the dorm with her head down. The interaction with the professor kept playing in her head. When she entered the room, it was empty. Zoe was out, likely already preparing for the shopping trip or meeting her new boyfriend. Lucy dropped her bag on the floor and climbed into bed without changing her clothes.She pulled out her phone and opened the hidden folder. She called Jonathan."Hey," he answered on the second ring. His voice was warm and calm. "How was the test?""Awful," Lucy whispered, a tear escaping and hitting her pillow. "I fell asleep at my desk last night and missed the last three chapters. I barely finished half the questions. The professor pulled me aside afterward.""Lucy, hey, listen to me," Jonathan said firmly but gently. "One test does not define you. You’ve been through a lot this week. Anyone else would have collapsed days ago. You’re human, not a machine."They talked for a long time. Jonathan told her about a project he was working on. As he sp

Lucy groaned as she woke up, her neck stiff and her back aching. As she blinked her eyes open, she realized she wasn't in her bed. She was still sitting at her desk, her forehead resting on the open pages of her art history textbook. She sat up slowly, rubbing her sore neck. Across the room, Zoe was standing in front of the full-length mirror, blotting her lipstick with a tissue. She was already fully dressed in a stylish knit dress and tall boots."Zoe?" Lucy’s voice was thick with sleep. She glanced at the clock on the wall and her heart stopped. It was 8:15 AM. Her test started at nine. "Why didn't you wake me up? "Zoe didn't turn around. She adjusted her hair in the mirror, her expression neutral. "I saw you passed out pretty hard, Lucy. Honestly, you looked like you really needed the sleep. I figured ten more minutes wouldn't hurt, and then I got distracted getting ready. I thought your alarm would go off eventually.""My alarm was set for six," Lucy said, grabbing her phone. T
Rejected by One, Wanted by Another Two Worlds
## Chapter Fifty-Five: The Two WorldsJonathan sat at the head of the table surrounded by six senior executives at the Blake Holdings building. He was no longer wearing a worn-out hoodie or carrying a backpack. He wore a charcoal-grey suit tailored to his frame, a crisp white shirt, and a silk tie. His hair was brushed back, revealing the sharp expression he usually hid from the world.His Uncle Marcus sat to his right, leaning back with his arms crossed. Marcus didn't speak; he was there to watch his nephew take the lead."The Matthews Global quarterly report was released this morning," Jonathan said. He didn't look at his notes. He kept his eyes on the executives. "At first, they look like they are doing well. But if you look closely at their debts, you see the truth. They owe way too much money.""They have the Quinn merger to stabilize them, Mr. Blake," one of the older executives said. "Once that contract is signed, their valuation will jump. It will be much harder to move agains
Rejected by One, Wanted by Another Can I Kiss You?
The library was almost silent, the few remaining students were huddled at the far end of the floor, their backs turned. They were completely hidden in their shadow-drenched corner.Jonathan turned his gaze back to Lucy. His hand was still resting on her arm, his thumb tracing small circles against her skin. He didn't just lean in. He stopped, his face inches from hers, his eyes searching hers with a raw, quiet sincerity."Can I kiss you?" he asked. His voice was so low. Lucy didn't reply with words. She couldn't have found them if she tried. Instead, she leaned in, closing the small gap between them. When his lips finally met hers, the rest of the world simply evaporated.Jonathan’s mouth claimed hers slowly. His hand slid from her arm to the back of her neck, fingers threading into her hair as he tilted her head just enough to deepen the kiss. His lips were warm, soft yet insistent, moving against hers with a deliberate rhythm that made her stomach tighten and her toes curl.Lucy g
Rejected by One, Wanted by Another Terrible Jokes
Lucy’s mother stood by the window, clutching her phone as if it were a lifeline. She looked at Lucy, her eyes red from crying, then dialed a number."Adrian? It’s Martha Quinn," her mother said, her voice trembling. "I am so sorry I didn't thank you properly at the hospital before you rushed off. Things were so chaotic, and I was in such a state... I just wanted to tell you that you are a godsend. We would be lost without you."Lucy sat stiffly in the plastic chair, her skin crawling. Adrian’s voice came through the speaker, it was completely different from the cold, threatening man who had just whispered in Lucy’s ear that he owned her."Please, Martha, don't apologize," Adrian said, his tone dripping with fake sincerity. "I understand completely. Family looks out for family. I’ve already arranged for a private nurse to arrive this evening so you can go home and be with Leo. You shouldn't have to handle this alone.""You are so kind, Adrian. Truly," Martha sobbed."I’ll check in toni
Rejected by One, Wanted by Another The Price of a Life
The lilies Adrian had given her were still sitting on the desk when Lucy returned to her room, their white petals beginning to curl at the edges. She walked to her bed and lay down, staring at the shadows moving across the ceiling.Her mind was far away from the flowers and the campus gossip. She was thinking about Jonathan. She imagined what it would feel like to walk into the university ballroom with him. In her mind, there were no cameras and no grand speeches. There was just the way he looked at her in the library and the steady warmth of his hand. She imagined dancing with him in a corner where no one could see them,she smiled slowly as she drifted into the fantasy.Her phone rang and shattered the silence.Lucy stood up and picked up the phone. "Lucy!" Her mother’s voice was a high, broken scream. "You have to come back! Your father—he was talking to me, and then his face just... he couldn't speak. He collapsed. They’ve taken him to emergency.""I’m coming, Mom. I’m coming righ
Rejected by One, Wanted by Another The Breaking Point
The atmosphere in the small apartment remained tense, despite the cool rain outside. Jonathan seemed to realize he had pushed too far. He saw the way her lip trembled, the way her eyes searched his for a lie she couldn't find. He sighed in frustration and ran a hand through his damp hair."I’m goin

The ride ended in a narrow alleyway behind a row of old brick buildings. Jonathan put off the engine. "We’re here," he said, his voice raspy.Lucy came down with shaky legs, her knees nearly buckling. Jonathan caught her by the elbow, steadying her as he led her toward a heavy steel door. He fumbl

Lucy barely felt the cold morning air, as Adrian dragged her to the administrative courtyard. His grip on her upper arm was extremely tight, his fingers digging into the soft skin just above where her bruise was starting to turn yellow. Zoe followed a few paces behind, pretending to be worried. "A

The ride home from the Matthews estate was quiet. Adrian was already tipsy from drinking too much wine. He kept his hand on Lucy’s thigh, his thumb stroking the red silk of the dress Zoe had picked out. Lucy sat still staring out at the blurred streetlights, feeling the cold night air from the wind
