LOGINELIJAH
I was pacing the hall outside my room when I spotted her. Mila, walking down the hallway, her face tight, eyes sharp, the kind of anger you couldn’t ignore. I quickened my pace, following her before she disappeared into some corner of the house. “Hey,” I called, trying to keep my voice calm. “Mila, wait.” She didn’t turn, just kept walking, jaw clenched. I caught up, matching her pace. “Talk to me. What’s going on?” She finally glanced at me, eyes flashing. “What’s going on?” she repeated, voice low but tense. “My mother decided she’s getting married. Without asking anyone. Do you have any idea how maddening that is?” “I…Mila, I get it. I understand. But you’re letting it eat you alive. Just… breathe. Come on, let’s sit.” She finally stopped at her room, swinging the door open. She didn’t say a word, just walked inside. I followed, closing the door behind me. I sat on the edge of her bed, watching her pace. She looked… small. Vulnerable. Angry, yes, but I could feel the weight pressing down on her. “I hate this,” she muttered, curling her fists. “Everything is so messed up.” I reached out, touching her arm lightly. “Hey. It’s okay. I’m here. You’re not alone.” She looked at me, and for a second, all the anger and tension in her body softened. Then, without warning, she pressed her lips to mine. It was quick, urgent, but soft in a way that made my chest tighten. “I needed a distraction,” she whispered. “Good,” I said, a grin breaking through despite everything. “I’m more than happy to be your distraction.” Her fingers tangled in my hair, pulling me closer. I kissed her back, deeper, letting the frustration and fear of the day melt away, even if only for a moment. She pushed me back into bed, pulling down my pants. Her cold mouth wrapped around my hard cock. The motion was swift and practiced. She was sucking the life out of me. I could feel my ghost slowly leave me body. “I want to fuck you.” I whispered,y voice laced with hunger and desperation. I flipped her over on the bed, Mila happily arched her ass up in the air. Her cute butthole stared back at me. My thumb instinctively rubbed it, in a way she loved and that earned me moan. I bent to briefly to eat her out before I thrust into her, tapping that butthole once or twice. I could feel my body shake from pleasure. I tried to fuck her as long as I could, holding back as much a so could. But I was already cumming. Exhaustion washed over me. There's no way I can keep going. But even as I tried, she pulled back halfway, a sigh escaping her lips. “I’m not satisfied,” she said suddenly. I froze, pulling out. “I tried to…” “I know,” she muttered. “I just… sometimes this, us, it’s never enough. I need more.” My chest tightened, anger and hurt mixing into one. “More? What do you mean I’m never enough for you? I’m here, Mila. I’m giving you everything I have…I'm trying, aren't I?” She shrugged, looking away. “I don’t know. You can’t… satisfy me like I need.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “So what, now? You’re just going to go find someone else?” She turned toward me, calm but cold. “If I need to, yes. I don’t want to, but sometimes… I have to do what I need.” My jaw clenched. “Do what you need? Mila, you can’t just walk out and leave me here every time you’re frustrated!” She didn’t answer. She just stood, grabbing her clothes and slipping them on. “I need space. I’ll be back later.” And then she left. Just like that. Leaving me burning with anger, betrayal, and frustration. I stayed in the room for a while, letting the fury and hurt settle, before finally dragging myself back toward my own room. I had just barely shut the door when there was a knock. I froze. “Elijah, sir?” a voice said timidly. It was prolly a servant. Sir? “What?” I snapped and regretted it immediately. “The coffee… Andrade’s coffee. He doesn’t like it late,” the servant said, fidgeting nervously. He held a tray in his hands. I cursed under my breath. Shit. I forgot. “I’ll handle it.” I barked, grabbing the tray. The hallway to Andrade’s room felt longer than usual. Every step made my pulse jump, my nerves fraying. I rounded the corner and stopped at his door, taking a breath. I knocked more than thrice. No response. I decided to push the doors and they swung freely making me take a step back. The mini bar was stocked with top-shelf whiskey and glasses lined perfectly. A leather armchair sat facing the window. A glorious king size bed that looked so soft. I stepped in, walking to the table to set the tray, trying not to make a sound. And then I felt a movement behind me. “Shit,” I whispered. Andrade’s shadow fell across the room before I could turn. The man was quiet, impossibly still, watching me. I froze. My heart was hammering. I jumped back instinctively, spilling coffee across the floor. The cup toppled from my hands, crashing against the wood with a loud crack. My stomach dropped. “Careless.” Andrade said, voice calm, controlled, but sharp as a blade. I froze. The room felt suddenly smaller, the air heavier. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn't think.ANDRADE I didn’t knock. I didn’t slow down. I didn’t pretend to care about politeness or timing or anything that resembled calm. I shoved the door open so hard it banged against the wall, and the moment I stepped inside, she already knew why I was there. My mother looked up from her desk with that infuriating, satisfied little smile she always wore when she was three steps ahead of everyone else. Like she was expecting me. Like she’d been waiting for this exact moment. I slammed the door shut behind me. “Don’t,” I snapped. “Don’t give me that goddamn smile.” She widened her smile just to piss me off. “Hello to you too.” My jaw clenched. I walked straight toward her desk, pacing like a bomb ready to blow. “Why did you do it?” She leaned back in her chair, relaxed, composed, enjoying every second of my anger. “You’ll need to be specific, Andrade. I do many things.” “You know exactly what I’m talking about. Why did you give him your shares?” She folded her arms, her expressi
ELIJAH I stood outside Andrade’s office, staring at the tall double doors like they were the last barrier before war. I forced myself to breathe, slow and even. No slipups. No shaking. No hesitation. I had to keep the mask on—nothing could crack this façade. I adjusted the collar of the suit I was wearing. Not my old style. Sleek charcoal gray, sharp shoulders, a cut that mirrored Andrade’s own preferred look. It wasn’t an accident. Every detail mattered. I wanted him to see how much had changed—and how much he had created. I pushed the door open. He didn’t look surprised. Not even a blink. It was like he’d been waiting for me, sitting there in that overly expensive black leather chair behind his glass desk, as if the universe had warned him beforehand. His office looked different, my desk, the one that used to be in the corner, was gone. Not moved. Erased. Like I’d never existed here. Fine. I’d carve a new place out of this building myself. I walked in confidently, contro
CAMILA I don’t even remember how I got to my mother's door. But I just had to see him. Everything from the moment Eli walked away from me at the altar feels like a blur—like my brain just shut down and left the rest of me to move on autopilot. My mascara has dried on my cheeks in thick black streaks, but fresh tears keep spilling, cutting through the mess. I can taste the salt. I can feel the ugly tightness in my throat. I can hear my heartbeat pounding so loud it makes me feel sick. And it’s his fault. All of this is Cristian’s fault. His door isn’t even locked so I push it open and stumble inside, barely able to breathe. The room is dim, the curtains half-open, and the place smells like liquor and sweat. Cristian is sitting on the edge of the bed with a bottle dangling from his hand, shirt half-unbuttoned, eyes unfocused like he’s been drinking for hours. When he saw me, he jerks upright so fast he almost drops the bottle. “Camila…what the hell…?” he says, voice r
ELIJAH Camila reached the altar. She stood in front of me, looking like she’d just stepped out of a dream. I returned the same smile. Happy, in love, the perfect husband-to-be. She had no idea that I was looking past the surface, that I could see the girl behind the pain, the manipulative little piece of herself she tried to hide behind sweetness. And I could feel it—I could feel her fear, even as she smiled. She didn’t know how close she was to losing everything. The priest’s voice echoed, drawing attention back to the ceremony. “We are gathered here today…” he began, but I barely listened. Camila's hands trembled slightly as she held her bouquet. Her eyes found mine, and for a second, I almost flinched, almost let myself feel. But I didn’t. I squared my shoulders. I smiled wider. She had to believe I was hers completely. The priest continued, “If anyone here knows any reason why these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace.” The murmurs of the
ELIJAH I stood at the altar, my palms slightly damp even though the hall was air-conditioned to near freezing. The sound of murmurs filled the cathedral—people whispering, waiting, watching. They were all dressed like royalty, pretending this was a day of love, unity, celebration. But I knew better. This wasn’t a wedding—it was an execution. I adjusted my tie, forcing a calm I didn’t feel. Every second felt like a countdown. Every beat of my heart echoed louder than the priest’s voice rehearsing the lines in his head. Marisol sat in the front row, her face expressionless as ever, but her eyes… those sharp, assessing eyes followed my every move. Beside her sat Cristian, stiff, trying too hard to look composed. And then there was Andrade. Andrade, in his perfectly tailored suit, sitting with his hands clasped, his face unreadable. He hadn’t looked at me once since I walked in, not directly, but I could feel him—his presence like a silent force pressing against my skin. I wa
ELIJAH I straightened my suit once before I walked into Marisol's office. I didn’t wait for a welcome. I pushed the door open and stepped into the room that had always been off limits to me. The furniture smelled like lemon polish and old decisions. Portraits of the family lined the wall. Marisol sat behind the desk, everything about her perfectly folded into posture and control. Her eyes flicked up. For a second I saw the surprise cross her face, then the mask slid into place. “Elijah,” she smiled, keeping the tone polite. “Is there something…” I set my phone on the desk and hit play before she could finish. I slid it across the wood and then I watched her watch. The footage played. I watched what it did to a woman who had built a life on appearances. She didn’t gasp or yell. She simply watched every frame as if the evidence was a personal insult and a financial threat at once. Her jaw tightened. Her fingers pressed on the desk until the knuckles whitened. When the cl
