THE TRAP

~CLAIRE'S POV~

Alexander's hand was fire against my thigh.

His fingers traced lazy circles on my bare skin as our limousine soared through Manhattan traffic, the city lights casting shadows across his sharp jawline.

He looked devastatingly handsome in his black tuxedo, every inch the billionaire prince who had come to my rescue.

"Tell me something you've missed about New York," he murmured, bringing my knuckles to his lips.

The kiss sent electricity shooting up my arm, and I had to concentrate to keep my voice steady.

"The energy. The way the city never sleeps, never apologizes for being too much."

"Like you." His green eyes burned as they met mine. "Too beautiful, too intelligent, too perfect to be real."

Heat pooled low in my belly at the raw hunger in his voice.

Alexander's control was legendary in business circles, but I could see it fraying at the edges whenever he looked at me.

His free hand clenched and unclenched against his thigh, his breathing slightly

    BEG ~MONICA’S POV~The drive to Richard’s office was very quiet, making me aware of every thought I tried to ignore. I focused on the road, but my mind was racing. Thoughts of him, the hospital, and all the times he made me feel unimportant kept bothering me.He thought he could get away from me. He thought I wouldn’t see him getting worse. But I wasn’t going to lose Richard….not to himself, not to another woman, not to anyone. He was mine, even if he did not say it.As I saw his company’s tall building in the distance, I whispered, “You’re not getting away from this easily, Richard.”By the time I stepped through the revolving doors, I had smoothed every trace of fury from my face, wearing a calm disguise that could pass for a wife’s dutiful concern. The Security looked up, startled, but I did not bother with pleasantries. I moved down the hallway, my heels clicking against the shiny floor like a ticking clock.At his door, I hesitated for just a second, one hand gripping the han

    HALF TRUTH~ANNETTE’S POV~ It took me longer than it should have to gather myself after that kiss with Claire. My lips were still tingling, my head spinning like I had been dunked into a vat of champagne. I could still feel the ghost of her mouth pressed against mine, softer than I had expected, but firm enough that it left a trademark.‘What the hell just happened?’ I thought, shifting on my cushion and pretending to be interested in the half-empty bowl of popcorn. My cheeks burned hotter than the surface of the sun, and I could not decide if I wanted to hide under a blanket or jump up and scream.Claire, of course, looked perfectly fine. She was laughing, tossing gummy bears at Darla, her voice light and easy like the kiss had been nothing more than a dumb party dare. She was a good sport about it. She always was. Meanwhile, I felt like the floor had cracked open beneath me.I dared a glance at Darla, only to find her eyes locked on me with an expression I could not read. It was

    FREAKING NIGHT~DARLA’S POV~Finally. The night I had been waiting for all week. Sleepover night. And not just any sleepover….it was at Claire’s new place, which meant new floors to spill chips on and new walls to hear us screaming with laughter through. I came armed with energy, sass, and an empty stomach. Tonight was not about restraint; tonight was about devouring junk food until our bodies begged for mercy.The second I stepped inside, I was greeted with a smell so good I almost cried. Butter. Sugar. Chocolate. The holy trinity of cheat-day heaven.“Hey, Claire! What’s cooking?” I shouted, kicking off my shoes and throwing my bag onto the couch like I owned the place.Her head popped out from the kitchen, hair tied up in a messy bun, cheeks flushed from running around. “Popcorn, chips, and candy. The essentials.”“Bless you,” I said, pressing a hand to my chest dramatically. “I would die for you.”We set up together, lining the coffee table with bowls of gummies and chocolate bar

    THREESOME~RICHARD POV~The air in my office still smelled like costly whiskey and disappointment. Claire’s unkind words and Monica’s rejection felt like a fresh hurt, and the only way to heal it was to have a woman who accepted her role. Diana was already almost there, lying on my desk like a gift.“Take off your jacket,” I commanded, my voice a low pebble.Her dark, eager eyes stayed on me as she took off the fur. The dress underneath was very revealing. It was black and thin enough to show the shape of her breasts, and had a slit that would show more if she moved a certain way. Her breasts were beautiful, big and round, lifted for me to see.I didn’t ask. I just reached out and closed my hand over one breast, the soft, warm weight filling my palm. She didn’t jump, didn’t flinch. She just let out a soft, knowing sigh. Good. This wasn’t her first corporate rodeo.My grip tightened, testing her. A quick little gasp escaped her lips, her eyes fluttering for a bit of a second. That t

    IN CONTROL~MONICA’S POV~The walls of my bedroom felt too close, making it hard to breathe, as if they were hearing my thoughts for a long time. I stared at a spot on the wall, hoping it would give me answers, but it did not. I kept seeing Richard’s face in my mind…his anger, the way he looked at me like I was not important to him anymore. That look hurt more than any mean words he could say.I pressed my hands into my eyes and whispered into the stale air, “What is happening to me?” My voice broke at the end, and I felt a sense of shame.I was not supposed to feel powerless. I was supposed to be the one pulling the strings. That was the deal, the way it had always been. Richard had been mine to manipulate, mine to handle, mine to keep wrapped up in the neat little bow I tied around him. But now? That bow was cracking, and every loose thread slipped through my fingers no matter how tight I tried to grip it.If I messed this up now, if I let him drift any further from me, I knew I

    STANDING MY GROUND ~ANNETTE’S POV~The café was warm with soft afternoon light, making the city feel a bit nicer. The glass windows glowed, keeping the smell of coffee and fresh bread inside —a scent that almost made me think life was easy. Almost.I sat with Mia and Kelly, two cheerful friends enjoying the sun, not noticing the darkness that always seemed to be around me. They laughed easily, and for a little while, I pretended to be like them…just a girl with too much coffee and not enough patience for salads that never satisfied.“You have got to try this sandwich, Annette! It’s life-changing!” Mia announced, waving a half-eaten mess of bread and cheese right under my nose.I wrinkled it away with a laugh. “I am already married to this salad, Mimi. Stop trying to tempt me into adultery.”Kelly nearly snorted her coffee out of her nose, and the three of us broke out into light giggles, a sound I had almost forgotten my voice could make. For a fleeting moment, I felt…normal.My p
