KARIMA HEART

"Seems Romeo already figured out you’re here with me," Owain said, lips curled to the side like he was throwing a question I had no business answering.

"I hate you, Owain. I really, really hate you," I spat.

But deep down I knew hate wasn’t enough. I wanted to do more, maybe leap across the room, knock that smirk clean off his face, or maybe even grow some miracle kind of woman-superpower that’d send him flying through the roof. Anything to stop this ridiculous craving for him that still clawed at me. And there I was, standing naked, wishing for a miracle that wasn’t coming.

"I know you hate me," he murmured, maddeningly calm, "but don’t worry, that won’t last. Now, get dressed, you wouldn’t want your boyfriend catching you naked in my room, would you?" His smile deepened, smug, like this was some grand game only he knew the rules to.

What the hell was wrong with him? One second, he was protective, almost decent. The next, he was back to being unreadable, cocky, and infur

    MALCOM HEART“Trixie, this has nothing to do with you,” I said evenly, even as my throat tightened. “Please leave.”She stared at me like I’d just told a joke in the middle of a funeral. “Is that supposed to be funny, Malcom?” She scoffed, her gaze flicking to Keisha, then snapping back to me. “I saw it. She just slapped you, and you’re standing there acting like it’s nothing.”I straightened fully. “It’s still none of your business.”“She slapped my boss,” Trixie snapped. “That makes it my business.”“That’s exactly why it isn’t,” I shot back. “I’m the boss. And I’m telling you to leave. Now.”She went rigid. Shock crossed her face. I knew. she’d never heard that tone from me before.Then her voice dropped, quieter, almost like she was pleading. “It’s me, Malcom. Trixie.” She gestured sharply toward Keisha. “She’s just your secretary—”“My girlfriend.”The words came out before I could stop them. The room went dead silent.Even I wasn’t sure where they came from. My head was spinning

    MALCOM HEART“What?!” I blurted before I could even think.She glanced at me quickly, her lips pressed together nervously. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked,” she murmured, stepping back, but my hand caught her at the waist before she could move.My eyes locked on hers, and for a moment, I didn’t even care what I was doing. I just wanted to hold her and keep her close. “Listen to me,” I whispered. “I’m not marrying Yasmine. I swear, what happened between us… it was a mistake I still regret every day.”She swallowed, shifting her face away, but then met my gaze again. “I trust you, Malcom.”Relief hit me like a wave, and I exhaled sharply.“Thank goodness… I thought you wouldn’t—” but I didn’t get the words out finish.“I’m not making excuses for you,” she interrupted, biting her lower lip, her eyes flicking to the floor and back. “I’m just… I think we should forget this happened.”My brows furrowed. “What? Why?”Her hand slid to her waist pulling down mine. She held herself like she

    MALCOM HEARTKeisha hurried toward me, her palm landing gently on my cheek. Fear washed over her face like she’d just witnessed something violent, like a live horror show.“Are you okay?” she asked softly, her hand still warm against my skin.I nodded once. “I’m fine, Keisha. Can you give us a moment?” I mumbled.She clearly didn’t believe me. I didn’t even expect her to.She turned toward my mother. “Mrs. Heart…” Her voice wavered. “I’m sorry for coming in unannounced. I know this isn’t my place, but as your son’s secretary—”“It’s fine, Keisha,” I cut in quietly. “You can leave us alone for now. Please.”I hated the way she looked at me then. Like she’d seen a part of me that scared her. A side I never wanted her to witness. Pushing her away was the only shield I had left. I didn’t even look at her when I said it.Before she could move, my mother spoke. “No. It’s fine. I’ll leave.”She glanced at me once before turning and walking out. Keisha didn’t move until the door closed behind

    MALCOM HEARTI just stood there staring at the door, silently praying the ground would open up and swallow me whole.“Who the hell is that?”Trixie snapped beside me. For a second, I couldn’t even form a sentence... Of all people… of all days… she had to show up now?I hadn’t gone to see her at the hospital. I hadn’t even seen her since she came back to New York. And now she was standing outside my office like a ghost I never asked to return.She stood there rubbing her arm, terrified, like she didn’t even know if she had the right to walk in.I exhaled sharply and finally started moving toward the door, but of course, Trixie blocked me again.I fought the urge to yell at her. I really would have, if I hadn't held back myself.“Why did Keisha let a stranger in without calling you first? Shouldn’t you be mad at her?” She went on, her voice dripping with irritation.I turned and glared at her, gripping the last thread of my patience I had left. “Trixie, do me a favor. Leave my office.”

  • SUBMISSIVE TO MY BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND    FEAR

    OWAIN LUTHERThe moment I pulled into the driveway, I didn’t even wait for the engine to die.I jumped out, rounded the hood, and rushed straight to the backseat where Karima lay slumped against the cushions, too still, in a way that made somewhere in my chest twist.My heart was beating like it wanted to burst out of my chest.I didn’t even know I could feel this kind of fear… not for anyone. But for her? It tore right through me.I yanked the door open and bent into the car, sliding one arm under her knees and the other around her back.Her body leaned limp against me, her arm falling across my shoulder as I lifted her out carefully but urgently.Her skin was ice-cold.I slammed the door shut with my foot, then rushed inside the house, straight to my room.I laid her on the bed as gently as I could. Rainwater clung to her hair, her lashes, her skin. Her clothes were completely soaked, and a small shiver ran through her body.She never handled cold well. She knew that. Which meant sh

    KARIMA HEART“Well, I have all day to listen.” The words came out calm, but even I could hear how sharp they truly sounded.Mum shifted again, like the chair suddenly turned too hot for her.“I was going to tell you everything, sweetheart. But…” Her voice cracked. Tears gathered in the corners of her eyes and she dabbed at them with shaky fingers. “I just thought you weren’t ready yet. I mean—”“You thought on my behalf?” I cut in, struggling to keep my voice from shaking. “Mum, I’m not thirteen. I’m an adult. You don’t get to make that choice for me.”“I know. I’m sorry, Karry.” her breath trembled. “It’s not what you think. I was scared. I thought you’d hate me… which...” she swallowed “—you probably already do.”My heart raced. I dragged my eyes away for a second just to breathe, then met hers again.“So… it’s true.” The words scraped out of my throat. “I’m adopted? Malcom isn’t even my real brother? And Dad—” my voice cracked “—Dad pretended to love me when I wasn’t even his child
