"Johnny?" I hiccuped, squinting through my blurry vision to make sense of the broad, bare chest standing across the room.

Freaking Amethyst. She set me up.

I was supposed to leave—or maybe jump off the balcony—but instead, I was being pulled closer to him.

Was my head playing tricks on me? Or was it just the alcohol? Or... was it because I was ovulating?

"What—what are you doing... in here?" I stammered, fumbling for my words as I stumbled toward him like a confused toddler on a tightrope.

"I live here, Cass. What are 'you' doing here? How—how did you even get in?" His brows furrowed, eyes full of confusion and surprise.

"Magic..." I giggled, feeling the alcohol swirl from my stomach straight to my head. "Oh, Johnny," I breathed, reaching for his face.

His tousled hair. Those addictive doe eyes looking at me like I'm a wonder. And his lips—damn, those lips—I wanted to make them redder.

He looked... unfairly handsome. Especially when flushed like this.

"Wait... have you been drinking?"

    Tamara.She stood there in her usual formal attire. She looked exactly how I remember her. Her hair was perfectly styled, her tailored feminine suit crisp and elegant, and she wore that same unshakable confidence like a crown.But something had changed. The look on her face that was usually bright and ready to sweetly manipulate anyone, now it seemed gloomy."I..." she began, her voice already trembling. There was a wariness in her eyes, subtle but present. "I ran past Amy, and she told me I would find you here," she said, her gaze locked on me."Me?" I pointed to myself."...with my son," she added, her red-painted lips curling into a weak, quivering smile. "I'm here to apologize, Cassidy. To both of you."Apologize... the word echoed in my head. I'd waited so long to hear that from her.And even though she had tossed me aside after using me, deep down I knew—I always carried a forgiving heart.Still, I had to remind myself: she wasn't the only one to blame. I let her use me.She ste

    I woke up to the refreshing scent of mint and soap invading my senses. My head ached from the hangover, and the moment I opened my eyes, a flood of questions rushed in.Then I heard someone exit the bathroom.My whole body froze. I slowly pulled the blanket down to see who it was.I caught my breath.A man's back. A beautiful, familiar back.He was fresh from the shower, droplets falling from the tip of his hair and trailing down his glistening skin. The only thing keeping me from completely panicking was the white towel wrapped around his waist.Oh, shit... last night wasn't a dream. It was real?Goddamn Amethyst. That kid—this is all her fault!I wasn't even planning on seeing him again, even if deep down I wished he’d come see me. But no, I barged into his place, and God knows what kind of shit I pulled last night. All I could remember was how he claimed me like I was precious."Hah..." Johnny exhaled softly, long, and sexy. He dried his hair with a small towel while standing in fr

    I called it a night earlier—per Julie’s advice. Besides, I didn’t want to show my face back in there and become the center of unwanted attention. Plus, she told me that "the" Heidi came back with a sour mood.Bless me.I smelled like wine and felt sticky as hell.What’s worse? I didn’t even bring an extra change of clothes.“Fuck me…” I mumbled, heading toward my car.“My uncle would gladly do so,” a voice chimed from the dark, making me jump out of my skin and accidentally fling my keys to the ground.I slowly spun around, my shoulders raised.There she was—Amethyst… or “Amy,” as she so casually called herself. Leaning against a sleek black BMW, still in full glam like she hadn’t just witnessed a circus of an event.Not a single eyelash is out of place. Is that how rich people act like aside from being hypocrites?She looked fresh, young, expensive.It wouldn’t surprise me if Johnny was sleeping with her. Or if she was someone special to him.Fresh.But why was I even thinking about

    All the chandeliers were lit, the soft melody from the saxophone played by our hired musician carpeting every corner of the venue.The event had been going on for—I don't even know how long. All I knew was that I had to rush to manage a little crisis on the guest list because I accidentally shuffled the names from the other day’s event into today's.Aside from that, we had to call security when some drunk, uninvited individual barged in, begging for one of the guest's love or whatever frustrated romantic nonsense he was on about.A fire almost broke out because of some troublemaking teenagers. Luckily, the team put it out before it could cause serious damage.There was even an almost-holocaust happening outside the venue thanks to the press and two rival groups of celebrity fans nearly coming to blows.And plenty more chaos that my brain could barely process.But out of everything I had to focus on, my mind was half somewhere else."Oh, you've got to be shitting me," I grumbled when I

    The world has never been kind to me. I believed that before—but I never expected that the things I thought were the worst couldn’t even compare to the kind of pain I’m feeling now.I tried to bury my past after I lost my child.But Johnny dug it all up… and threw it back right in front of me.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I denied, even though it hurt so bad.I turned my back on him and opened the car door, but he slammed it shut.He stood close behind me. I could feel my spine stiffen from the heat coming off his body. My chest tightened as I tried to fight the urge to break down and cry.“Cassidy… I know I was never a responsible man. And you’re right when you said there’s no future with me. I’m not father material—or someone you can rely on.”My lips thinned. Anger boiled in my chest—not at him, but at myself. Because I couldn’t face it.I couldn’t face him.Back then, I was so sure I’d be ready if he ever showed up again. I thought I could give him a cold shoulder, act
