STELLA

I felt his lips on mine and it took me a lot of courage to not move my lips and kiss him back. Fuck it, his lips were softer than I remembered. But I didn't pull away, neither did I kiss him back.

I was pretending to be asleep so I wanted to know what he would do next. After a while, he pulled away, his thumb brushing over my bottom lip gently and I couldn't deny that I missed his lips on mine.

He finally pulled away and I could hear him suck in a sharp breath like he was contemplating his life decisions.

“Fuck it…” I heard him curse and I smiled to myself, knowing that I had such an effect on him. I couldn't lie that I didn't love it. It gave me this sense of power and satisfaction that I never felt before.

“Stella. We're home.” He called out but I didn't respond. I had to keep up the facade that I was deeply asleep so he wouldn't know that I knew he kissed me.

He gently shook me and I mumbled something incoherent as I turned to the other side, causing him to chuckle in amuse

    FREYA“Miss… Freya.”“Miss Freya!”The paparazzi kept following me, taking pictures, the camera lights blinding but I welcomed it. I was made to be the center of attraction.I waved briefly at the crowd before getting into the car, and within seconds, we were moving.I leaned back and let out a heavy breath.“Miss Freya, where am I taking you?” the driver asked, concentrating on the road.“Ford Consolidated.”Once we arrived, I made my way to the elevator. I couldn’t afford all the lower-class people who worked here wanting to talk to me.The elevator doors opened at the top floor, and I walked directly to my brother’s office.As I got close, I heard weird sounds coming from inside—moans. Ew.I cringed. Typical of Nick, I thought. He was always mixing business and pleasure and he was good at it because he always got what he wanted from women.I contemplated whether to knock or not. I lifted my hand to the door but hesitated.Screw it.I pushed it open without warning and walked in.An

    STELLA'S POVI contempteted going back to talk to him, but it would make me look like I gave a damn about him but I didn’t.But I couldn't stop thinking about it, and it hurt more than I wanted it to.Yes, he slept with Freya, who almost ruined him the first time, and she was doing it again but what do I care? I was only just his pretend girlfriend, after all, and even if I got paid, I wouldn't care about him.I bit one of my lips down. Stella, keep saying that till you believe it oh, who was I kidding?He doesn't belong to me in any way, so why did it bother me so much?I chewed down on my pen and got up. I walked to the door, contemplating on going to his office or not — but if I did, what the hell was I going to say?Without thinking, I just pushed the door to my office open, the smell of smoke hitting me. What the hell? I walked farther what was burning?I walked down the hallway. That was when I saw a trash can that smoke was coming out from.What the...I rushed forward and kick

    JAMES God... this was bad. It felt like I was having a memory relapse, only that it was just a glimpse, but I couldn't remember what exactly happened that night with Freya.And I couldn't explain it to Stella. God, I was such an idiot. I shouldn't have gone to her hotel room that night. I knew she was going to pull this kind of crap.I ran a hand through my hair, my mind a complete mess.A knock landed on my door."Come in," I said lazily.I couldn't handle anything that had to do with work anymore.I lifted my head and it was Stella. She just stood in front of my desk. I waited for her to start her questioning again, but she just quiet.I tilted my head slightly. She was way too quiet, but before I could say anything, she pushed her phone to my front.I picked it up. "What is this?"She didn't reply.It was a headline that read: James Hawthorne found cheating on his partner with famous model Freya.I scrolled down and it was me in bed, all cosied up to Freya.I clenched my jaw, my h

    STELLAI passed my office. I was so worried while trying to convince myself that I didn't care where he was or whatever crap he was doing with his life, but I was just deceiving myself, and I knew that.Why the hell did I care? I was his fake girlfriend, not his wife. But subconsciously, my hands were still calling his number.I never knew pretending to be my boss's fake girlfriend was this stressful. He wasn't paying for caring, and I wouldn't care about an ass like him. But right now, I really needed him to be alive and pay me. Then he could probably die or do whatever he wanted with his life. But deep down, I knew I was genuinely worried about him."Mr. James, please pick your fucking call," I muttered. But before I could try his number again, I saw him walking into his office."What the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled almost immediately as he stood in front of his door. He looked a mess, but that wasn’t my major concern."You left me in your penthouse by 2 a.m. You just vanished

    JAMESMy phone kept ringing non-stop, but I kept ignoring it.As I sped through town, I knew this was a bad idea. It wasn't just bad it was terrible. But if I didn’t go to see her, it would become worse, so I do what I have to, right?I kept trying to convince myself that I was doing the right thing going to see the woman that wants to ruin my life.I looked at the time. It was almost 3 a.m., and she’d already texted me the hotel address we were supposed to meet up at.Fraya had tried to ruin me once. Going to see her was a stupid move to make, but she threatened Stella, and well, I guess I was that stupid because there was no way in hell I would ever let her hurt Stella.And... the bright side was there would be no reporters waiting to take pictures of me by 2 a.m. in the morning.The city was asleep, streetlights casting shadows on the empty road. My hands gripped the steering wheel tighter once I was close to the hotel.Every part of me screamed to turn back to not walk into this t

    STELLAI tiptoed out of bed and walked out of my room. I couldn’t sleep. The text on my phone had disturbed me, and what his mother had said earlier wasn’t making any sense.God, I needed a drink… I navigated my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water maybe clear my head.I reached for the shelf and was trying to pick up a glass when I heard my name from behind me.“Stella.”I was so startled I almost dropped the glass. I turned to face him, and he just stood there staring at me like he’d just seen a ghost.“What…” I said, my pitch a bit higher than I intended.“Why are you not sleeping?” His voice was calm, and a hint of concern was evident.“Needed a glass of water. Couldn’t sleep.”I studied his position he looked somehow defensive.“Is… everything alright? Why the hell are you not sleeping, Mr. James?”The defense dropped immediately, replaced with a cocky grin. “Feeling lonely.”That signature smirk tugged at his lips.I rolled my eyes, clutching the glass a little tighter. “Of
