I woke up the next day with a massive headache pounding behind my eyes. I groaned, shaking my head slowly as I tried to piece together the blurry fragments of last night.

The club, the drinks, Jesse calling someone. How did I even get back home? Did Jesse carry me? That seemed impossible. She could barely carry her own handbag when she was tired. There was no way she had carried my drunk self home.

    *Nia's POV*I woke up the next day with a massive headache pounding behind my eyes. I groaned, shaking my head slowly as I tried to piece together the blurry fragments of last night. The club, the drinks, Jesse calling someone. How did I even get back home? Did Jesse carry me? That seemed impossible. She could barely carry her own handbag when she was tired. There was no way she had carried my drunk self home.I frowned and sat up slowly, immediately regretting the decision when a wave of dizziness washed over me. I held onto the edge of the bed until the room stopped spinning. "God," I muttered. How much had I actually drunk last night?I looked down and realized I was wearing a large shirt that definitely belonged to Raymond. The fabric smelled like him, rich and masculine. I slipped out of the covers, wincing at the soreness in my body, and padded out of the room.The smell of bacon and pancakes hit me immediately. I walked into the kitchen and froze.Raymond stood there in my apr

    *Nia's POV*Within twenty minutes, Jesse arrived at my apartment. She didn’t say much at first. She just pulled me into a tight hug before heading straight to the kitchen. She made two cups of coffee and handed me one.We sat on the couch, the silence between us thick and awkward. Guilt gnawed at me. I had blocked her for months, yet here she was the moment I needed her.“Go ahead,” she said softly. I poured everything out. Daniel’s betrayal, the public humiliation, Lila’s slap, the way Raymond had stormed in like a dark savior, and the confusing pull I felt toward him despite everything. Jesse listened quietly, nodding at the right moments, her expression never judging.When I finally finished, she let out a long breath. “Nia, your life is a mess.”I managed a weak smile. “Tell me something I don’t know.”“So this Raymond guy… he’s Daniel’s father?” she asked.I nodded.“Dirty move,” she said with a small smile. “You went for your ex’s dad.” I stared at her, and her smile faded. “Don

    *Nia's POV*My phone buzzed on the nightstand again. I ignored it, just as I had ignored every call from him last night. Raymond had called me all night, but I didn’t pick up. I couldn’t. I was upset. Why would Raymond let that lady hold his neck and stand so close to him? Why is my life full of bad luck? First Daniel, now his father? Clearly, the universe hated me.A notification popped up on my phone. The message was from Raymond. Honestly, I didn’t want to open it. I wanted to show him I was upset, but curiosity got the better of me. I opened the message.Raymond: Bunny, I understand if you are upset. We can talk about it now. Pick up your damn call before you give me a heart attack.I stared at the message in disbelief. Was he seriously trying to guilt-trip me? A second message arrived before I could decide whether to laugh or be annoyed.Raymond: Don’t test my patience. If you don’t reply to this message or pick up my call, I will storm into your apartment, and God, you don’t wan

  • Ruined By His Father    Unwanted Interruption

    *Nia's POV* The woman stepped closer, the sharp click of her heels echoing across the training ground. Raymond didn't move. He just stared at her. A strange tension settled over the air as I glanced between them."Uhm... Raymond?" I asked carefully. He finally sighed and rubbed a hand over his face. "What are you doing here, Valentina?"The woman smiled slowly. "Well..." she drawled, "that's not exactly how you greet a fellow colleague." Her dark eyes shifted toward me, a calculating look appearing in them. "A certain source of mine told me about your new toy."My entire body stiffened. Toy? Did she just call me a toy? I frowned immediately, my fingers curling into fists. Before I could say anything, Raymond's expression darkened. "Watch your mouth.”The warning in his voice was sharp enough to cut glass. Valentina only smiled wider. She looked completely unfazed by him. "I want to talk to you." She paused deliberately. "Privately." Her gaze flickered toward me again.I suddenly felt

    Nia's POV When I woke up, sunlight was already streaming through the curtains. For a moment, I simply lay there, staring at the ceiling. Then I felt the strong arm draped over my waist. I shifted slightly and looked beside me. Raymond was still asleep. It was strange seeing him this calm and relaxed, not the feared mafia boss everyone knew. My gaze drifted to the scar running along his shoulder. His body carried the marks of a dangerous life. I wondered just how many stories were hidden behind them. As if sensing my stare, his eyes slowly opened. A small smirk appeared on his face. "Enjoying the view, little bunny?" Heat rushed to my cheeks. "No," I said, rolling my eyes. He chuckled, "What are you thinking about?" My playful embarrassment faded, and my expression grew serious. I swallowed hard, then looked directly at him. "Teach me how to use a gun." Raymond blinked. For a second, he simply stared at me; then he laughed. The sound caught me completely off guard. "What?

  • Ruined By His Father    Ghost Of The Past

    Raymond’s POV The ride back to her apartment was quiet. I kept my hand wrapped around hers the entire way, my thumb tracing slow circles over her knuckles. After everything she’d endured tonight, I needed the contact just as much as she did.When I pulled up in front of her building, she turned to me before I could even shift into the park. “Stay with me tonight.” Her voice was soft but insistent. I met her eyes, surprise flickering through me.“Nia…”“Please.” She squeezed my hand tighter, her fingers still trembling slightly. “I don’t want to be alone. Not after tonight. Just… stay.”I studied her for a long moment, clenching my jaw. Looking at her exhausted, vulnerable expression, I couldn’t refuse. “Alright,” I sighed. “I’ll stay.”Relief washed over her face. We walked inside together, my arm wrapped protectively around her waist. The moment the door closed behind us, she kicked off her shoes and pulled me straight toward the bedroom.I watched from the doorway as she chang
