MICHEAL'S POV

The numbers on my screen blurred together. I blinked once. Twice. Still nothing. I'd been staring at the same email for fifteen minutes, maybe even more. I couldn’t even remember what it was about anymore. My fingers hovered over the keyboard like they forgot how to type.

I leaned back in my chair, rubbing the back of my head.

Ashley.

I couldn't stop thinking about her. She'd been off lately. Not cold exactly, just…distant. Her smile didn't reach her eyes anymore. Her laugh, the one that used to hit me right in the chest, now felt forced. Too quick, like she was trying to convince herself that it was real.

And ever since she ran into him, Ryan, she hadn't been the same. I hated that name. Hated that I even know it now. Could she possibly still have feelings for him? I shook off the thought as soon as it came to mind.

I used to think Ashley was an open book, but now? It was like someone glued the pages shut. Each time I asked, She said she was fine. Tired, distracted, w

  • TWISTED AFFAIR   CHAPTER 106

    MICHEAL'S POV She heard me.I knew it the second I went back into the bedroom. Ashley’s body was turned away from me, but her shoulders were too still. Her breathing was too even. She wasn't asleep.And I hated myself for letting her hear.It wasn't supposed to go this way. The plan—if you could call it that—was to deal with the threat quietly without bringing her into it. But now, everything was out. The worry in her voice this morning was still ringing in my ears.God, I could lie to a room full of investors, convince an entire boardroom to agree with me, but with her, I had nothing. No defence. One look into her eyes, and the truth unravelled faster than I could control it.Now she knows. She knew enough to be scared. I stood by the window of my office with my arms crossed and jaw locked tight. The city glittered beneath me. People down there were going about their lives like nothing was wrong.Like mine wasn't sitting on a line of thread.The knock on my office door pulled me ou

  • TWISTED AFFAIR   CHAPTER 105

    ASHLEY'S POV The anniversary was over, but Micheal's mood had changed. He was still smiling, still charming, still the powerful man everyone knows. But I noticed the shift. The second that man in a Navy suit followed right after him earlier, Michael’s entire energy had changed the minute he came out. He went stiff, his jaw tightened, and for a second, I saw something I hadn't seen in him before…. Fear.When I walked up to him right after, he smiled at me like nothing happened, kissed my temple, and asked if I was okay. He even cracked a joke to lighten the mood. But I knew I knew something had rattled him.But I had no idea what it could be.After making sure my father had left, we went back to his penthouse just past ten. He poured us both glasses of wine but barely took a sip of his. He'd unbuttoned the top of his shirt, but he hadn't changed out of the rest of his formal wear. He just sat there on the edge of the couch, his eyes locked on the city skyline like it had answers.I

  • TWISTED AFFAIR   CHAPTER 104

    MICHEAL'S POVMy penthouse was quiet when I walked in, just the soft sound of the theatre and the low rhythm of rain tapping against the windows. I closed the door and kicked off my shoes, loosening the tie I hadn’t even realized I still had on. My eyes scanned the living room, and there she was.My baby.She sat curled up on the edge of the couch, her knees drawn to her chest, wearing one of my hoodies that swallowed her whole. Her eyes were puffy, skin pale, and even from where I stood, I could see the exhaustion hanging off her.“Baby,” I called softly, stepping close to her.Her head turned to me slowly, she said no word, just her eyes meeting mine and they said everything. “Come here,” I told her, opening my arms.She didn't hesitate. She stood, shuffled over, and melted into me the moment she settled on my lap. Her body shook against mine as the tears came again. Silent at first, then soon turned to soft sobs that cracked my chest open.“Talk to me, sweetheart. I'm here now.”

    MICHEAL'S POV “Make sure the champagne is from the Montebello reserve, not the regular batch,” I said, walking towards the glass wall of my office with my phone pressed to my ear. “And double check the sitting arrangements. I don't want the Carsons anywhere near the Pierres.”“Got it, sir. I'll handle it.”I ended the call and let out a slow breath, rubbing the back of my neck. The company's anniversary event was less than twenty-four hours away. Twenty years of Kingston technology. Twenty years of clawing my way out of bankruptcy and rebuilding everything from scratch, and proving to the world—and myself—that it wasn't just a failed legacy. My phone buzzed again. A message from Ashley.Ashley: Hi baby, I'm meeting up with Dad later today. Might be late getting to the penthouse.Not seeing her today felt strange. After everything we'd shared over the last week, going back to our separate routines left a chill in the air. I hadn't even heard her voice today.Before I could overthink

  • TWISTED AFFAIR   CHAPTER 102

    ASHLEY'S POV If I could bottle the last one week and leave it in forever, I would.The moment Micheal's jet touched down in New York, reality hit me like cold air on a bare skin. I was wrapped in Micheal's arms when the seatbelt sign dinged off. He kissed the side of my head and whispered, “Back to New York's craziness.” with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. I know he doesn't wanna come back either. He'd been getting constant calls from my dad since last night, reminding him of the company's anniversary that's coming up in a few days. Micheal tried to ignore the buzz of his phone while we packed up this morning, but I could see the shift in his eyes—reluctance, tension, and responsibility.I got it. I had responsibility too.My phone rang before we even stepped into the car that was waiting for us.“Sophie,” I answered with a soft laugh. “Can I breathe first?” “Girl, we let you breathe all week. Time's up.”She fired back. “I know you're back. Jade and I are heading to yo

  • TWISTED AFFAIR   CHAPTER 101

    MICHEAL'S POV Her laugh still echoed in my ears when I backed her against the cold balcony railing, her pink robe slipping open. The city lights glittered below, but all I could see was her—bare, soft, and all mine.“You think you can just tease me and walk away,” I growled, gripping her thighs and lifting her onto the rail.She's been doing this for hours, teasing me with soft touch and kisses. As if that wasn't enough, Ashley grabbed my full length, dipped it in her mouth, and now she thinks she can just get away with it.“Micheal..” She breathed, but it came out as a moan as I spread her legs, dipping my fingers between her slick folds.She was already dripping for me. Perfect.“I want you to scream,” I whispered, dragging the tip of my cock against her wet clit. “Out here. Let the world know who you belong to.”Then I grabbed my cock and slid into her hole with ease.She whimpered, nails digging into my shoulders. I thrust deep, fast. Her cries tore into the night, raw and needy
