SECOND SIN CHAPTER 25
Nathan pushed open the door to his apartment and stepped inside, the faint scent of takeout still lingering in the air. He turned the lock with a deliberate click, double-checking it out of habit, then let the heavy plastic bags slip from his fingers. They hit the floor with a soft rustle and a muffled thud. Without pausing he crossed the small living room and collapsed onto the couch, his head falling back against the cushions as a long, exhausted sigh escaped him.Today had not gone the way he’d planned. Not even close. Everything felt unbelievable like he’d stepped into someone else’s life for a few hours. Noah had actually apologized. The words had come out of his mouth, quiet and cracked, right there across the table. Nathan didn’t need to question whether it happened, because he’d watched it unfold with his own eyes, felt the weight of every syllable land in his chest.After that, silence had swallowed the rest of the meal. Nathan hadn’t spoken, he couldn’t speak, even when No
SECOND SIN CHAPTER 24: APOLOGY
Nathan walked back to his department like his legs had turned to lead. The file Noah had given him felt heavier in his hand than it should have—thicker, somehow, even though it was only a few pages. He kept his eyes on the floor the whole way, passing desks and quiet conversations without really seeing them. When he finally reached his office door he paused, fingers tightening around the folder, then pushed inside slowly.He closed the door behind him with a soft click and leaned against it for a second, breathing out. Everything felt unplanned and uncalled for. What was Noah actually planning?Was this another manipulation trick—some elaborate way to pull him back in, make him dependent again? Or was Noah… for real? The bruises, the calm offer, the project details—it didn’t line up with the Noah he remembered. None of it did.He dropped into his chair and laid the file flat on the desk. Opened it carefully. The pages were crisp, professional, it's a joint high-visibility initiative
SECOND SIN CHAPTER 23: AN OFFER YOU CAN'T REJECT.
Monday MorningElle practically flew up the stairs, hrr breath coming in short bursts as she hurried toward Nathan, who was already leaning against the balcony railing waiting for her. The second she reached him she stopped dead, hands on her hips, eyes wide with mock outrage.“Oh you bitch, I will never trust you again!”Nathan only grinned, cheeks already warming despite himself. “No, no… it’s actually not like that.”“What! Why didn’t you tell me you guys went on a date? Twice!” Elle’s voice climbed with delighted disbelief.“Well… I did tell you,” Nathan said, chuckling softly as he rested his jaw in his palm, trying to play it cool even though excitement bubbled under his skin.Elle was too overjoyed to care about technicalities. “Oh my God, that was fast and I’m so happy for you both! How was it? Details—now!”Nathan scratched behind his ear, a nervous little habit, cheeks flushing deeper. “Actually… on Saturday we went to that Chinese place downtown first, then ended up at this
SECOND SIN CHAPTER 22
The next day was Friday, the end of the work week, and the weekend stretched ahead like a quiet promise. As usual, Nathan arrived early with one clear purpose burning in his chest—to see Noah again that morning. He stepped into the building with his heart already racing a little faster than normal, palms slightly damp against the strap of his bag. The elevator ride up felt longer than usual, and when the doors opened on his floor he scanned the hallway instinctively. But the office felt different today. Quieter. Emptier.He set his things down at his desk and tried to focus on booting up his computer, yet his mind kept drifting. After a few minutes of restless typing, he caught snippets of conversation from the break room—casual talk about schedules and meetings. That was when he finally pieced it together, the CEO was not coming in today. He was going to be absent the entire day.That’s weird, Nathan thought, a strange little twist of disappointment settling in his stomach. Of cours
SECOND SIN CHAPTER 21
Nathan blinked rapidly, fingers trembling as he reached out to take the small folded card from Michael’s hand. “W-what… how did you get this?”“His secretary—Catherine—brought it down earlier,” Michael explained quietly, keeping his voice low so the rest of the team wouldn’t overhear. “She said to give it to you the second you clocked in. Since you were late, I held onto it.”“Oh fuck,” Nathan muttered under his breath, barely audible. He glanced sideways at Elle, who met his eyes for one long, loaded second before turning on her heel and walking away fast—her expression screaming 'You’re on your own now'. Nathan swallowed hard. “Okay… thank you.”He forced his legs to move, heading straight for his small office corner. The door clicked shut behind him louder than it should have. He stood there, bag still slung over his shoulder, staring blankly at his desk like it might give him answers. Thoughts crashed through his head in waves—too many, too fast.Should he go up right now? Or wa
SECOND SIN CHAPTER 20
The restaurant door swung shut behind Nathan with a soft, final click. The moment the cool night air hit his face, his knees buckled. He crouched right there on the sidewalk, his back pressed against the rough brick wall, hands flying up to cover his face as hot tears spilled between his fingers.He couldn’t stop.Quiet, choking sobs shook his shoulders. He pressed harder, trying to muffle the sound, but it kept coming—raw, unstoppable. He had failed again. Let his emotions roar right over every promise he’d made to Elle, every fragile plan he’d tried to hold together. How could he have sat across from Noah at that table, pretending everything was fine? How could he have smiled, ordered food, made small talk with the man who’d once made his high-school days feel like a war zone?It didn’t make sense. None of it did. And now everything was ruined. He hadn’t heard what Noah actually wanted to say. He hadn’t asked about the apology letter. He hadn’t even found out if he still had a job
SECOND SIN CHAPTER 8: UNSETTLED MORNINGS
After the brief conversation with Elle, Nathan felt a small breath of relief wash over him, even if it was temporary. He decided to push the chaos aside for now and focus on work because it was early Monday morning, and he couldn’t afford to fall behind. Not with the team depending on him, not with

Same Day – Late Afternoon.Catherine knocked once on the heavy oak door of Noah’s office before stepping inside. She carried herself with the quiet efficiency that had kept her in the role for three years. Calm, observant, never dramatic—but today her usual composure had a small crack. Her lips wer

Immediately Nathan rounded the corner, he crouched down fast, his back pressing against the rough brick wall as his chest rose and fell in sharp, uneven bursts. He pressed one hand to his sternum, trying to force his breathing to slow, to make sense of the frantic pounding inside. What had just h

Noah leaned against the cool marble pillar in the lobby, his arms crossed, eyes fixed on the bank of elevators. The digital clock above the security desk ticked past the twenty-minute mark he’d promised himself. Then twenty-five, and then thirty.But still Nathan was no where to be found.He let o
