I stormed downstairs, the memory of that woman’s lips still burning against mine, but my mind was no longer on her. Marcus. It had to be him. That conniving bastard.

The crowd of bodies swarmed the bar, their laughter and chatter blending into a dull, static buzz in my head. My fists clenched as I scanned the room, blood boiling. Where is he?

I spotted a bartender stacking glasses and grabbed his arm. “Where’s Marcus?”

The bartender blinked at me, startled. “Uh, he left a while ago. Said he was going home.”

Home. The word twisted in my gut. I hadn’t stepped foot in that house since Yasmin…since everything fell apart.

The thought of walking through those halls again, where her laughter once echoed, made my chest ache. Her laughter.

It hadn’t been genuine - I’d known that - but it still cut through me like a dull blade.

It didn’t matter. Tonight, I needed answers.

I slammed my car door shut and tore through the streets, the engine roaring as I approached the mansion. Its grandeur l

    Liam“Kiss me...”I opened my eyes and groaned. Edward’s medication still wasn’t doing a damn thing for me, no matter how religiously I stuck to the prescription.It would’ve been a perfect dream if it didn’t always end the same way—her being yanked from my arms the moment I opened the door.And the worst part? I always woke up with an unbearably hard dick.I glanced down at the eager monster beneath me, straining against the confines of my pants, demanding attention. Scoffing, I shoved the blanket off my body and checked the time. Barely 4 a.m.“If they don’t meet your royal standards, maybe you should be more specific next time.”A low, throaty laugh escaped me as Arlene’s voice wormed its way back into my thoughts. I had fallen asleep thinking of her, and now she was haunting me in the most sinful way possible.God. If only she knew how much my body reacted to the slightest touch from her.Before I realized it, my hand had drifted down, gripping my cock. I cursed under my breath as

    ArleneI stared at the unbelievably arrogant son of a bitch, his lips twitching into an annoyingly smug smirk as he held the jackets by their collars with just his index finger.“Care to explain what you expected me to do with these cheap jackets?” His voice was calm, yet each word hit hard, an indication of how extremely mocking the jackets were to his status.He thrust the garment into my hands, his gaze colder, yet extremely calm than I’d ever seen. My fingers trembled slightly as I gripped the fabric, my face flushing with equal parts of disdain and fury.He wasn’t done. “I expected better from you, Arlene. Judging by how you bragged about getting a hundred of these and how you so proudly shoved that note into my hand.”“They’re just jackets,” I snapped, refusing to let him have the upper hand. “If they don’t meet your royal standards, maybe you should be more specific next time.”Liam let out a low, humorless chuckle. “Just jackets?” His eyes bore into mine, daring me to look awa

    Arlene“Dad?” My voice trembled as the word slipped out. My chest tightened, and disbelief must have been etched on my face as I turned my eyes toward Mirela. Her triumphant smirk was like a knife twisting in my gut.She did this. It was extremely evident.She must have whispered something vile, poisoned his mind against Liam. I didn’t know what she said, but it had worked, and now I was left to clean up the mess she’d made.I knew for a fact that my argument with him was definitely not the reason he’s opposing this.I should’ve felt relief. A part of me should’ve been glad that this charade with Liam might be nearing its end. I wouldn’t have to drag him further into this lie.Yet, a deeper fear lodged itself in my heart. If Mirela had orchestrated this, it wasn’t to protect me. It was to destroy me.I couldn’t, for a fact, place my hand on why she was doing this, but the least I’d do was let her win. I’d never let her get to me ever again!My father’s declaration wasn’t just a declar

    Liam“We’re here,” Alex announced as he stepped out of the car, opening the door for me.I hadn’t asked him to play chauffeur or take on these menial duties, but it seemed he thought this was the best way to apologize for vomiting on me last night.Ever since he remembered his actions, he had been overcompensating with tasks he believed I’d appreciate. It only made me angrier.Stepping out of the car, I adjusted my jacket and surveyed the grand Gomez estate before me.It was just another stage for Arlene and me to put on the show we’d agreed to - a performance in the elaborate charade of our engagement.My eyes found her immediately. She stood waiting on the porch, her wide smile as fake as it was dazzling.I couldn’t deny it, though. She looked stunning. The blue dress she wore clung to her figure in a way that demanded attention, perfectly complementing her oceanic eyes. It wasn’t fair how effortlessly she could steal the spotlight.As I approached, her smile wavered. “Are you going

    ColeThe kiss was everything I had never expected, yet everything I secretly craved. My lips collided with hers, the softness of her mouth a strange yet familiar sensation, like a puzzle piece clicking into place.There was something intoxicating about it, something I hadn’t felt since... Yasmin.Yasmin. The thought barely registered before I drowned it in the woman before me. Her lips parted against mine, her breath shallow, as if she, too, was searching for something in this kiss.Some fleeting moment of connection that could fill the empty void left by everything that had been lost. Her scent, faintly sweet, filled my senses, and I couldn’t help but lose myself in the sensation.For a moment, I forgot that it wasn’t Yasmin. It was as if I was kissing the very ghost of her. A ghost that I couldn’t seem to shake.When she finally broke the kiss, we both gasped for breath, our chests heaving. Her eyes flickered, dark blue and intense, studying me as if she could see into my very soul.
