A grin slowly tugged at the corners of his lips. “You’re acting like…”

Monica clamped her mouth shut, cheeks burning. Her gaze betrayed her though—it dipped to his lips, lingering just a second too long. Like they had betrayed her. Like she wanted to erase the memory of Adriana’s kiss with her own.

Monica didn’t answer. She turned away, but not before he caught the ghost of a smile playing at her lips.

“Good,” the Coach called out, nodding with approval as the male model strutted confidently from one end of the hall to the other, sharp and composed.

Lake stepped aside, wiping sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. He grabbed a water bottle, took a long sip, and exhaled. The air inside the studio was thick with heat and tension—everyone was pushing to be flawless.

After a brief moment, he tossed the bottle aside and rejoined the line, slipping seamlessly into place.

Practice stretched on for another thirty minutes. The room echoed with the clack of shoes, the barked

    “It’s been over four goddamn hours and you’re telling me she’s vanished into thin air? Not a single camera caught anything?” Spencer’s voice thundered through the office like a storm, slamming against the walls as the two uniformed officers stiffened under the pressure.“We’re doing everything we can, Mr. McKenzie,” one of them said cautiously. “But the details you gave us are limited. We need more time.”Spencer’s jaw clenched, veins tightening at his temples. “Time?” he spat. “She was taken from under our noses. You had one job—track her. You can’t even do that?”“Sir,” the second officer stepped in, trying to keep things civil. “We understand your concern, but your tone—”“Don’t lecture me on tone,” Spencer cut in, eyes blazing. “Just get out. Both of you.”The first officer’s lips thinned. “Out of respect for your situation, we’ll overlook the disrespect this time. But be mindful, Mr. McKenzie. You’re not above the law.”They turned and left stiffly, closing the office door behind

    “But we need to talk about Anthony,” Max said gently, voice dipping low as his eyes searched Lake’s face.“I don’t want to.” Lake stepped back, trying to shake off the weight in his chest—and Max’s touch.Max didn’t let go so easily.He grabbed Lake’s wrists and pinned them softly but firmly above his head, stepping into his space. “You don’t want to?” Max murmured, leaning in.His lips brushed Lake’s neck—warm, hungry. He pressed wet, open-mouthed kisses along the sensitive curve, dragging his tongue down to the hollow of Lake’s collarbone.Lake let out a breathy moan, twisting slightly beneath his grip. “Max…”“Are you turned on?” Max teased, lips brushing over the quickening beat in Lake’s throat.Lake’s mouth parted, but instead of words, he lunged forward, desperate for another kiss. Max pulled back just an inch—just enough to deny him.He grinned.“That’s all for now,” he said, voice low and wicked. “You want more…” His thumb skimmed Lake’s bottom lip. “Then talk to me.”“Bastar

    Max guided Lake carefully toward the car, one arm wrapped securely around his waist. He reached out and pulled the passenger door open with one hand, the other steadying Lake."Slowly, Lake," Max mumbled, voice low with concern.Lake didn’t respond, but the way his body leaned heavier told Max he wasn’t doing as fine as he claimed. Once seated, Lake let out a shaky breath and immediately closed his eyes, head resting back against the seat. Max watched him for a beat longer, worry pinching the corners of his brows, then gently shut the door.As Max rounded the front of the car, his eyes landed on Leo, who stood by the curb with his hands in his pockets and an unreadable look on his face."You can find your way back, right?" Max asked, his tone cool and unconcerned.Leo scoffed, one brow rising. “You can actually ask that like you mean it, you know.”Max didn’t offer a response. He had already turned away, sliding into the driver’s seat without another word."Jerk," Leo muttered under h

    “Sir, you need to step out and allow the patient to rest,” a female nurse said gently as she stepped into the room, clipboard in hand and concern in her eyes.Max didn’t move immediately. He was seated at the edge of the hospital bed, holding Lake’s mother’s hand, his brows drawn tight with worry. Her breathing was uneven, her eyes glassy with exhaustion, but she still held onto him like a lifeline.“Please,” she whispered, gripping his wrist, her voice hoarse with emotion. “Protect Lake. He might come off as cold… he acts like he doesn’t need anyone, but that’s just him trying not to get hurt again. Anthony—he abused him. I didn’t see it early enough. I didn’t stop it in time.”Max's heart clenched. His jaw tightened as the weight of her words sank in.The nurse approached, her tone firmer now but still kind. “Sir, I understand. But please, don’t stimulate the patient any further. She needs rest. We’ve already adjusted her IV and blood pressure medication. Please…”Max nodded slowly,

    Monica blinked against the pale morning light filtering through the curtains. Her arm stretched across the bed instinctively—but all she found was cold sheets. She sat up slowly, pushing her hair out of her face with a sigh. Gone. Of course. She glanced around, her eyes narrowing slightly—until they landed on the tray near the nightstand. A plate of toast, fruit, and a cup of coffee sat neatly arranged. She rolled her eyes but couldn’t hide the small tug at the corner of her lips. Next to the coffee was a folded note. She picked it up, unfolded it without ceremony. “Didn’t want to wake you. You looked like you hadn’t slept in weeks.” “Went to the company—Diane’s on the verge of mutiny.” “Eat something. Don’t starve yourself out of spite.” “I’ll be back.” —Spencer. Monica stared at the note for a beat, then scoffed under her breath. “Of course he signed it like a damn villain.” But her chest clenched in that familiar, annoying way it always did with him. She dr

    The door slammed open with a bang that echoed through the house. Spencer jolted awake, arm instinctively tightening around Monica, who lay curled beside him, asleep and unaware. Bootsteps thundered down the hall. Spencer didn’t need to guess—it could only be one person. He sat up quickly, pulling the sheet around Monica protectively. “Dad,” he said sharply as Charles appeared in the doorway, eyes blazing. “Keep your voice down. You’ll wake her.” Charles stopped short, frozen in the threshold like the sight had knocked the wind from him. His gaze swept over them—his youngest son half-naked in bed, tangled with Monica, his other son’s wife. “You…” Charles’s voice shook with restrained rage. “You’ve lost your goddamn mind.” “Lower your voice,” Spencer warned again, eyes steady. “She’s sleeping.” “Sleeping?!” Charles hissed, fists clenched. “You’re in bed with your brother’s wife, and you want me to whisper?” “She’s not his wife anymore,” Spencer said coolly, slipping out
