From the shadowed edge of the corridor, Guinevere had observed everything. The moment Cleopatra spoke of meeting Calvin, curiosity and a quiet, calculating interest stirred within her. She followed at a distance, footsteps light, patience carefully restrained.

When Calvin finally vanished from sight, Guinevere stepped forward.

“Cleo!” she called brightly, waving as she hurried closer. “I was just going to buy some bread when I saw you. Why were you with Calvin?”

Concern painted her voice, thin

    “Mmm…” She cleared her throat, forcing her expression into calm. “Katie mentioned her once she complimented the meal she prepared.”“Oh. I see.” Calvin’s reply was smooth, almost indifferent.His eyes shifted to Valerie. “You may excuse yourself.”“Yes, sir.” Valerie bowed quickly before retreating toward the kitchen, her steps measured, silent.The moment the girl disappeared, Cleopatra released a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.‘Oh, Cleo control that mouth of yours,’ she scolded herself inwardly, frustration curling softly in her chest.“Let me show you to the guest room,” Calvin cut in quickly.“Huh?” Cleopatra’s brows lifted, hurt flashing across her eyes. “Why the guest room? Can’t I stay in your room? Am I a stranger to you?” Her gaze dropped slowly. “Cal, really am I nothing but a guest to you?”The pain in her voice was quiet, but sharp enough to pierce.Calvin’s chest tightened.“No—no, I didn’t mean it that way.”“Then what do you mean?” Cleopatra’s voice rose sl

    Then his fingers rose.The back of his knuckles brushed beneath her chin barely there at first, a silent question. When she didn’t pull away, his touch settled, gently lifting her face toward his.Soft.Intimate.Intentional.Her breath caught.“Why do you always pretend you’re unaffected?” he murmured, his voice low, close enough that the words warmed her lips.His thumb traced slowly along the curve beneath her jaw.“You sit there like you don’t notice when someone’s watching you.”His gaze dipped to her mouth, lingered then returned to her eyes.“But I do.”His fingers curled slightly, holding her face just enough that the space between them narrowed. The air grew warmer.“The way you hold yourself back,” he continued, breath grazing her cheek, “like you’re afraid to let anyone see what’s underneath…”His thumb brushed her skin again, slower this time.“You’re dangerously beautiful when you play innocent and that makes me want to r*m you up” he said quietly, intensity darkening his

    The room buzzed with laughter and the sharp clink of glasses, the amber glow of a half-empty whiskey bottle at the center catching the light like a silent provocateur. Surrounding it, unopened bottles sprawled across the table like a promise of chaos yet to come. The atmosphere was electric, every corner vibrating with anticipation.Raj sprang to his feet, a grin lighting up his face as if he’d been counting down the days to this moment. “Tonight,” he declared, voice brimming with excitement, “I’ve got three games for us. You pick; Card, Truth or Dare, or Dice.”He fumbled into his bag and pulled out three boxes, placing them on the table with a flourish. “First,” he said, opening the card game box, “is the Card Color game.” Cards of every hue spilled into his hands. “Two green cards—black boxes mark their right edges. Two black cards—yellow boxes at the edges. Two yellow cards—white boxes waiting on the right. And two white cards—pink boxes gleaming at the edges.”He paused, glancin

    Katie had been flipping through the documents on her desk when she caught a subtle adjustment needed on Guinevere’s shot. Small, but critical. Without a second thought, she grabbed the file and made her way to the studio, intent on informing the photographer before the mistake cemented itself into permanence.But the instant she stepped inside, her breath faltered.There they were.Guinevere and Cleopatra stood far too close, their proximity almost intimate, their exchange smooth and razor-sharp. Words laced with challenge slipped between them effortlessly, drawing the attention of everyone in the room. No one pretended to work. Every gaze was fixed on the charged space they occupied.Something twisted tight in Katie’s chest.Clutching the documents a little harder, she ignored the curious stares and strode forward, heels striking against the polished floor in quick, decisive beats.“Stop it. Both of you come with me. Now.”Katie’s voice cracked through the studio like a whip. Convers

    “It’s… it’s almost too perfect to be a coincidence,” Katie muttered, voice trembling slightly, eyes darting nervously.Calvin’s tone cut through the air like a blade, venom dripping from every word. “So your lovely friend has reunited with the love of her life.”Katie’s brow furrowed, her pulse quickening. “What do you mean by that?”His words landed like a punch. “Ain’t they cozy together? She was enjoying his grip on her waist every inch of it.”Katie’s hands clenched instinctively. “Do you have someone stalking Cleo?” Her voice flared, sharp and defensive.Calvin’s gaze was cold, calculating, almost amused. “Why would I do that?”“Then how did you know all this?” Her question came out in a rush, a mixture of fear and disbelief.“Guinevere showed me a video,” he said simply, his voice calm but carrying a dangerous edge. “Not a long one just enough.”Katie’s shock ignited into outrage. “Arghhh! That chameleon she filmed that incident? What a… what a nasty friend!”Calvin leaned forw

    The words struck like sparks against dry fuel igniting everything in an instant.Cleopatra moved before reason could restrain her. Her hand cut through the air slap! landing hard against his face with a force that snapped his head to the side. The impact stung her palm, a sharp reminder of the heat surging through her veins.“Don’t you dare speak to me like that!” she snapped, her voice edged with steel, every word hitting like a blow of its own.In one swift motion, she seized the towel and unraveled it, her movements precise, controlled like a warrior readying her weapon. Then she struck again, the towel cracking across his chest with a sharp, whipping sound.The hit wasn’t just force, it carried weight.A jolt shot through both of them, raw and electric. Not just pain. Not just anger.For a heartbeat, the world narrowed to the heat between them, the unspoken memories, the forbidden pull they could no longer deny. She turned sharply and walked away, each step a statement of contro
