ANMELDENEdwin's POV The sterile fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, casting a harsh, unflattering pallor over the plain, gray walls. I sat stiffly in the metal chair, feeling the cold bite of the unyielding surface through my clothes. Every breath I took was measured, deliberate, trying to mask the tremor in my hands, trying to seem calm, in control. But inside, my mind was racing.Two security officers entered silently, their movements precise and practiced. They wore plain black suits, faces unreadable, like masks carved from stone. I recognized the woman first, her sharp features, cold eyes that seemed to pierce straight through me. She carried a folder, thick and well-worn, as if it contained all the secrets they’d ever need. The other, a man whose gaze was just as calculating, hovered slightly behind her.She slid the folder across the cold table with deliberate care. My eyes flicked to the photograph on the top page, grainy, but unmistakably me, caught in a candid moment in the copy ro
Edwin's POV The silence in the room was oppressive, thick enough to suffocate. Daniel’s hand lingered just inches from mine, trembling slightly as if he was fighting an internal battle he couldn’t quite win. The heat of his body pressed against me, a reminder of how close we had become in those frantic moments, and yet it also felt like a chasm separating us, an unspoken truth hanging heavy in the air.I stared at him, my mind trying to process everything, the raw vulnerability in his eyes, the desperate need to protect me, and the undeniable love that shone through beneath all the fury and fear. It was a dangerous thing, falling in love with someone so deeply entangled in shadows. I knew that. But in that moment, it was all I could focus on.His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but no words came. Instead, he leaned in, brushing his forehead against mine, a gesture so fragile and intimate it cut through the chaos like a knife. I closed my eyes for a moment, fee
Edwin's POV The quiet hum of the office was almost deafening now, a stark contrast to the chaos raging inside me. I sat at my desk, the Meridian deck spread out before me like a battlefield I wasn’t ready to face. The papers bore the weight of secrets and lies, and every glance I cast toward my screen felt like a gamble, one that could reveal too much or nothing at all.I kept telling myself I had to stay calm, had to focus on the task at hand. But the truth was, my mind kept drifting back to Daniel. The look in his eyes when he’d confessed, to himself, or maybe even to me, about how he’d used me. That raw, vulnerable admission haunted me more than the threats, the rumors, the whispers. It was a mirror I hadn’t been prepared to see.The past few days had been a whirlwind of deception, betrayal, and raw emotion. Daniel’s words from the previous night kept echoing in my head: *I love you*. I’d never doubted his feelings, but now, amid the fallout, those words felt like both a balm and
Edwin’s POVThe London trip had felt like a bubble , a brief, suspended moment where the world outside the jet and the hotel suite didn’t exist. Daniel had fucked me slow and deep in the private bedroom, whispering "I love you" against my skin like it was the only truth left. I’d cried in his arms when the grief for Mom hit me in waves, and he’d held me through every one, promising *no more hiding* after this trip. For forty-eight hours, it had felt possible. Real. Like we could actually win.Then we landed back in New York, and the bubble popped.The first crack appeared the moment we stepped off the jet. Daniel’s phone had buzzed nonstop , board members, legal, security. Victor had already started the next wave: leaked contracts, missing files from the Meridian project, anonymous tips to internal auditors suggesting I’d been given preferential treatment because of “personal involvement.” The photo leak had been scrubbed, but the rumors had mutated into something uglier. People weren
Edwin’s POVThe jet’s descent into London felt like falling into a new kind of gravity , not the physical pull of the earth, but the weight of everything we’d left behind in New York. Mom’s funeral was only six days ago. The photo leak was nine. Victor’s contract had been terminated, but the damage was still spreading like cracks in glass. Daniel sat beside me in the cream leather seat, his hand resting on my thigh, thumb stroking slow, absent circles over the fabric of my trousers. He hadn’t spoken much since we’d collapsed together in the private bedroom an hour earlier, bodies slick and trembling, the make-up sex leaving us both raw and quiet.I shifted in my seat, the ache between my legs a constant reminder of how desperately we’d needed each other. The way he’d fucked me slow and deep, whispering *I love you* against my skin like it was the only truth left in the world. The way I’d cried into his neck when the pleasure crashed through the grief. The way he’d held me afterward un
Edwin’s POVThe jet’s engines hummed steadily beneath us as we began our descent into London. The private bedroom at the back of the cabin still carried the faint scent of sweat, lube, and the unmistakable musk of sex. The sheets were rumpled, the pillows askew, and my body still ached in the best and most intimate ways from what Daniel had done to me only an hour earlier.I lay on my back, one arm draped over my eyes, the other hand resting on Daniel’s bare chest where he lay beside me. His breathing was slow and even, but I knew he wasn’t asleep. His fingers traced lazy, possessive circles on my hip, occasionally dipping lower to brush the sensitive skin where he’d gripped me hard during the make-up sex that had started as anger and ended as something raw and healing.Neither of us had spoken since we’d collapsed together, bodies slick and trembling. The silence wasn’t uncomfortable. It felt necessary , like we were both letting the weight of the last few weeks settle before we trie
