Morning crept in quietly.

He didn't need an alarm, he didn't need noise. He didn't need rushing footsteps or distant traffic to wake him up. Just a soft wash of light slipping through the curtains was enough to stir him awake.

The slow awareness pulled him out of his sleep, and he just laid there like nothing in the world had gone wrong the night before.

Then the memory hit him sharp and unforgiving.

Barbie, the shouting, the broken things, and Derek, the author of the confusion.

Lewis’s eye

    Derek stood by the window of his study, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a glass. His mind was everything, especially with Paulo, who just called him to tell him about Raine's husband. He knew a day like that would come. He knew sooner or later, Raine's husband would come for her. He wasn't just expecting him to go crazy in public. Derek didn't want to get involved. He had a lot on his plate. From Alonso and his useless sons, to the election for the new CEO, to his goods that were about to arrive. However, he had ordered Paulo to start a thorough background check on Raine's husband. He needed everything, both legal and illegal, public and private, family and business… everything. And he wasn't even surprised when Paulo said he had started working on it. The door opened but Derek didn't turn to know who it was. Maybe because Lewis was the only one in the house or because he was already used to Lewis presence. “I was wondering how long it would take,” he said calmly.Lewis

    Raine walked around the mall with confidence. Someone might mistake her as the owner of the place or a celebrity. Paulo, on the other hand, looked like he would rather be anywhere else.“Remind me again why I’m here,” he muttered, walking a step behind her.Raine didn’t even turn as she responded. “Because you agreed to take me shopping.”“I didn’t agree,” Paulo corrected. “You forced it.”“Same difference.”“It’s not.”Raine finally glanced back at him, smiling.“You’re still here, aren’t you?”“Unfortunately,” Paulo exhaled sharply.She laughed. “You complain too much.”“And you talk too much.”“Yet here we are,” she said lightly, pushing open the glass door of a high-end clothing store.Reluctantly, Paulo followed.Raine’s eyes lit up as she saw the collection of dresses. She moved through the racks with ease, her fingers brushing against fabrics, pulling out pieces, holding them up against herself, judging, selecting.Paulo stood by the entrance for a moment, watching her.Then s

The slow awareness pulled him out of his sleep, and he just laid there like nothing in the world had gone wrong the night before.Then the memory hit him sharp and unforgiving. Barbie, the shouting, the broken things, and Derek, the author of the confusion. Lewis’s eyes snapped open.He sat up slightly, running a hand over his face, already feeling the weight of it all pressing down on him again.“What a good morning,” he muttered under his breath.He swung his legs off the bed, still half-dazed, his mind trying to catch up with his body. But then, he noticed someone was already in the room, leaning casually against the wall, watching him. Derek.Lewis froze, thinking he was still dreaming. He closed his eyes, and opened it again, but Derek was still there,

    “She'll lead you to your room,” Paulo said, gesturing towards the housekeeper in the background. Lewis didn't bother to argue anymore. He just wanted to be done with everything that connected him to Derek. But the more he tried to break loose, the more he got intertwined with him. The hallway was quiet as he moved. He didn’t speak. He didn’t ask questions. He just walked. The housekeeper moved ahead of him at a steady pace. She didn’t look back, didn’t try to start a conversation. It was as if she understood that silence was exactly what he needed.Finally, they stopped in front of a door.“This will be your room for the night, sir,” she said politely, stepping aside.Lewis nodded faintly. “Thank you.”She opened the door and gestured for him to enter.Lewis stepped into the perfect room. Everything inside was displayed as if it was just prepared for him. “Dinner will be brought to you if you need it,” the housekeeper said. “I’m fine,” he replied quietly.She nodded once and left

    Lewis didn’t remember the drive. All he knew was that his hands had been tight on the steering wheel, his jaw was clenched, and his thoughts ran in circles that all led back to one name.Derek.By the time he pulled up in front of the mansion, his anger hadn’t cooled. If anything, it became hotter. The gate opened without question. That alone irritated him more because it felt like they had expected him to show up… Like he was already part of something he never agreed to.He parked roughly, stepping out of the car, barely containing his frustration. His steps were quick and uneven, driven more by his anger. The door opened before he could knock, and the staff stepped aside silently, letting him in.That annoyed him too. Everything about this place annoyed him. He thought he wouldn't have a reason to come back there. He thought he was done with everything that concerned Derek. But Derek clearly didn't get it. And his house?It was too quiet and calm for someone who had just cause

    For days, Lewis had buried himself in work. He did everything to occupy his mind from thinking about Barbie. From calling, texting or visiting her. Despite his ever present self at work, he was asked to go home. They actually begged him to take a leave from work. Reluctantly, he went home and forced himself to sleep. Even in sleep, his body didn’t fully relax, like it was waiting for something to go wrong.And it did.A loud bang shattered the quiet, jerking him awake. For a moment, he didn’t know where he was. His eyes struggled to adjust, his mind slow and foggy as the sound echoed again. Instantly, his heart began to race.Was he about to be robbed? He wondered as he struggled to push himself out of bed. But before he could successfully get out, the door burst open with a loud slam. Faster than his mind could work, he sprinted toward the door. And there she was with eyes blazing with fury, standing there, breathing hard as if she had just lifted a heavy load. Lewis rubbed hi

    “Get him,” Derek ordered. Paulo left without saying a word. There was no time to waste in situations like that. They've never gotten themselves into something like this before. While Paulo was gone, Derek thought of all possible ways to get rid of Lewis without drawing attention from the public.

    Derek’s eyes stay on Lewis for only a moment before his expression changes. He doesn't have to say much before Lewis can understand that he was in trouble. “Paulo.” Derek calls. Paulo entered immediately. “What did I say about this young man? He asked. Derek got no response from Paulo but his e

    Lewis jumped out of the bed the moment his mind fully caught up with what was happening.“You kidnapped me!” he shouted again, pointing wildly between Derek and Paulo. “This is illegal! Do you hear me? Completely illegal!” His voice echoed through the room.Derek was already sitting on the edge of

    Lewis woke to pain.A sharp, pounding headache throbbed behind his eyes, each beat echoing through his skull like someone was hammering from the inside. He groaned and pressed a hand against his forehead, squeezing his eyes shut.“What the actual hell…” His voice came out hoarse.As he opened his e
