Alyssa's screams pierced through the garden, shattering the evening calm and drawing a crowd of startled guests to the poolside. The hum of chatter turned to gasps as they took in the scene. Without hesitation, Dillon tore off his jacket and leapt into the pool, the loud splash sending ripples across the water. He swam swiftly toward Alyssa, his movements decisive and frantic.

When he reached her, he scooped her into his arms, cradling her protectively as he brought her to the edge of the pool. Water streamed from her soaking gown, pooling around them as she trembled against his chest.

"Alyssa! Alyssa, are you okay?" Dillon's voice was thick with concern, his hands gripping her shoulders as if to anchor her. His eyes darted over her face, searching for any sign of injury. Alyssa clung to him, shivering dramatically, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.

She cast a fleeting glance at me and the hurt in her gaze was unmistakable. "Sis, if I did something to upset you, you could have

    I shook my head softly. “I’m fine. You should have the soup first.” Brian looked momentarily puzzled but obediently lifted the thermos, finishing the soup in one go. His amber eyes gleamed with a mixture of warmth and urgency and his lips, flushed pink from the warm broth, glistened in the soft light. He held up the empty container with a boyish grin and said, “Finished it.” Taking my hand, Brian led me into the balcony. His voice was tender, almost reverent. “Thank you for the meal. Why don’t you take a little rest?” He coaxed me onto the large bed in the room, tucking me under the thick, luxurious comforter. Then he settled in beside me, pulling me into his arms. His chin rested lightly on the top of my head, his embrace firm and reassuring. “Still cold?” he murmured against my hair. I gave a faint hum of acknowledgment, closing my eyes to the comforting sound of his heartbeat. Time seemed to blur as I lay there, cocooned in his warmth. But soon, the soft, steady rhythm of his

    Zaynah Rahimi sipped her espresso like it was a weapon. bitter, hot, and controlled. Everything she needed to survive another Monday morning at Liron Media. The office café was her sanctuary, a place where she could regroup before the whirlwind of meetings and deadlines began.She'd claimed the corner table like a throne, laptop open, brows furrowed in concentration. A subtle warning to anyone who might approach: do not disturb unless bleeding or on fire. She didn’t have the patience for small talk, not today. Not after the long weekend she’d just endured. Her focus was broken only by the click of her heels against the floor, the hum of the air conditioning, and the occasional murmur of her colleagues.Her peace lasted exactly three minutes. “Mon Dieu, they weren’t lying, you do look like you’d bite someone.”She didn’t look up. “Try me. I haven’t had breakfast.”"Dante Moreau Sinclair" He said but she already knew who he was, she'ddone a thorough background check. He slid into the s

    The sunlight burns my eyes through the window and it almost seemed like I'd been set on fire. I remember everything. I remember Alpha Maverick hitting me and pushing me against the walls. I remember how I almost died. I must've woken up because of the sunlight on my eyes or because of the inaudible whispers coming from the hallway. "We cannot have her here, Celeste!" A man's voice speaks "we are in a hideout damn it!" He's upset because of me. "She's pregnant for fuck's sake, Alerik! Have some pity on her! She has been through too much." She's sympathetic for me. I think I'm forgetting the part where she said that I'm pregnant? How can I be? This cannot be. I tried to get off the bed but I find myself falling back, my head nearly falling off. When I finally manage to get off the bed, I'm facing a mirror by the side. I've had change of clothes and I fee

    The inaudible voice I was hearing beside me felt distant. But the words were coming from no other but doctor Ashmar who was standing and hovering over me. "Can you hear me?" She calls again, to be sure. I nod this time, tears brimming at my eyes. I can't believe I can finally hear, after having to live with a damaged ear for so long. I let out a shaky laugh, goosebumps rippling across my entire body. "Congratulations, Layla." Doctor Ashmar says with a big smile. All my attention was on how much I wished Dillon was here to share this good news. Dillion has been more than a partner to me, he was a confidant when I struggled with my hearing and he loved me, showed me reasons to believe in love again. All I wanted right now was tell him this good news and fall into his arms. I make my way out of the hospital swiftly and have a cab take me directly to Dillon's office. Dillion was the CEO of the Titan aeronautics.

    ROSELLE. There were times when life felt excruciatingly overwhelming for me. Times when I've had to be alone because my father was always away. Times when I have no one to turn to. There had been happy moments too of course. I still remember like it was yesterday, my mom's beautiful face when we first moved into our home in California. She had been so happy, she thought she could die. I remember playing on the lawn and she would stand on the porch, watching me with a big grin on her face like I was all that mattered to her. My father was always gone. Now the older I got, the more I understood that she wasn't watching me because I was the only thing that mattered to her. She was keeping an eye on me because I wasn't safe. How did that work out for me? How? She didn't do all that, just to give her life for me in the end did she? And most importantly, she didn't give her life so I could live and e
