Chapter 7

There were things happening behind the scenes that Vanessa knew nothing about. I was preparing. Planning. And waiting for the perfect time. But Vanessa didn't understand patience.

She wanted expensive clothes, jewelry, vacations, parties, and access to the kind of life she saw other women living.

The more I gave her, the more she wanted.

And then I began noticing changes. She became protective of her phone. She started coming home late. She suddenly had meetings that I had never heard

    Chapter 13I studied him.“Then why are you looking at me like that?”He didn't answer immediately.His eyes moved over my face, and for the first time, I saw something in them that had nothing to do with revenge.“I don't know,” he finally admitted.My heart gave an uncomfortable little twist.Neither of us spoke for a while.Then I smiled, trying to lighten the moment, “Well, if we're going to continue this game, we need rules.”Alex raised an eyebrow.“Rules?”“Yes.”“What kind?”I counted them on my fingers.“First, we don't fall in love.”His expression became unreadable.“Agreed.”“Second, Adrian and Vanessa can never know what we're actually planning until we're ready.”“Agreed.”“Third, we don't allow them to control us.”Alex nodded.“And fourth?”I hesitated.Then I looked directly into his eyes.“We don't regret anything.”He smiled.“That one I can agree with.”Then he said, “Enough of the rules, let’s get to business.”Something flashed in Alex's eyes—irritation mixed wit

    Chapter 12He took another step toward me, “So am I.”Something shifted in the atmosphere. The laughter faded.I suddenly became aware of how close he was. His eyes moved over my face, lingering there for a moment before meeting mine again.I swallowed, “What?” I asked.“I'm enjoying the game,” he repeated.His voice was lower this time. There was something in it that made my heartbeat quicken.I looked away briefly, pretending to be interested in the room.Then I felt his presence move closer, “So,” he said quietly, “about earlier.”I turned back, “Earlier?”His eyebrow lifted, “Our little arrangement.”I knew exactly what he meant. I smiled innocently, “What about it?”He studied my face, “Did you enjoy yourself?”I tried not to smile. I knew the answer.Of course I had.Alex had been attentive, confident, and unexpectedly gentle despite everything that had happened between us. But something mischievous stirred inside me.I tilted my head, “It ended rather quickly.”His expression c

    Chapter 11SerenaI had barely stepped through the hidden doorway when I realized that Alex's secret wasn't limited to one wall.The passage opened into another living space, and for several seconds, I simply stood there, unable to move.The villa on the other side was breathtaking.If the first villa had been luxurious, this place was something else entirely. It felt less like a private room and more like an entire world hidden beneath the surface of the resort. The walls were decorated with elegant dark wood and subtle gold accents, while warm lights glowed from recessed panels in the ceiling. A massive glass window stretched across one side of the room, revealing a private view of the ocean that somehow looked even more beautiful from here.There was a sunken lounge in the middle of the room, surrounded by soft cream-colored sofas. A bar stood against the opposite wall, fully stocked with bottles I couldn't even pronounce, and beside it was a dining area that looked as though it b

    Chapter 10“And I want to see for myself.”I stared at him, “You want to see for yourself?”“Yes.” He replied without hesitation.His tone had become arrogant. The same arrogance I had seen in men who believed money gave them permission to cross boundaries.I folded my arms, “Adrian, why would Serena be in my villa?”He looked at me suspiciously, “I don't know. That's what I'm trying to find out.”I gave a small shrug, “Then perhaps you should ask whoever gave you the information.”“I did.”“And?”“They said she came here.” He paused the contined, “ And that too with a man.”I looked behind him at the staff. Nobody moved. Nobody spoke.Then I looked back at him, “So what exactly do you expect me to do?”“Let me search.”For a moment, silence settled between us.I couldn't believe he had actually said it, “You want to search my villa?”“Yes.”I stepped away from the doorway.“Go ahead.”Adrian hesitated. He clearly hadn't expected me to agree so easily.I gestured toward the villa, “Se

  • TIT FOR TAT   Chapter 9

    Chapter 9A hidden door opened seamlessly, revealing a passage concealed behind it.I stepped aside but Serena……Serena didn't move. She simply stared.Her mouth had fallen slightly open, and her eyes moved from the hidden doorway to me and then back again.I almost smiled, “What?” I asked.She blinked, “You're an accountant.”I raised an eyebrow, “Yes????”She pointed toward the hidden passage, “Accountants don't have secret doors inside villas.”I laughed quietly, “Apparently this one does.”She continued staring at me. I could almost see the questions forming in her mind.Who exactly was I?How could someone with an ordinary accountant's salary own a villa like this?Why was there a hidden entrance behind a wall?And, perhaps most importantly, what kind of life had I lived before Vanessa?I didn't have time to answer any of them. Not yet.I reached for Serena's hand, “Come on.”She finally moved.We hurried toward the hidden doorway, but before she could enter, I pulled her gently

    CHAPTER 8AlexThe knocking came again. Three hard blows against the door.Bang. Bang. Bang.“Serena! Open the door!”My entire body went still.For a few seconds, I simply stared at the woman standing before me, and I watched the color drain from her face as the reality of those words settled between us.Adrian knew she was here. Or at least, he believed she was.Either way, that was enough to turn the situation from complicated to dangerous.Serena quickly pulled herself together. She reached for her clothes and began dressing, her movements hurried but controlled. There was no screaming, no panic, no frantic questioning. She simply moved, her jaw clenched tightly as she slipped into her clothes.I admired that about her.She was afraid of what this discovery could mean, but she wasn't afraid of Adrian. There was a difference.I dressed just as quickly, pulling on my shirt and fastening the buttons one after another. Outside, Adrian continued knocking.“Serena!” he shouted. “I know
