The Night Before I Knew Him Freeze!
>*GRANDE ESTATE*After the maids serve dinner, I sit across from Hermes and watch him cut his steak in silence. He doesn’t look at me, doesn’t speak — just moves the knife and fork with that same calm precision he’s always had.I can’t tell if he remembers anything. The way he sits there, so composed, it’s impossible to know what’s behind those cold brooding eyes. Does he remember this morning? Does he remember her?I pray he hasn’t told June about his condition. That would ruin everything."Is the steak good?" I ask, forcing warmth into my voice, my lips curving into something that feels like a smile but isn’t.He nods once, then — to my surprise — slides his own plate across to me, taking mine in exchange.My hand freezes halfway to my fork. He’s never done that before. Not even when we were still… something.For a fleeting second, I wonder if he thinks I’m her. Maybe he’s confusing faces now, or maybe this is how short-term memory lapses work. I make a mental note to stu
The Night Before I Knew Him Fix the crack
>I sit in the waiting room, legs crossed, scrolling lazily through my phone. The hum of the air conditioner fills the silence, and I find myself smiling—actually smiling—for the first time in weeks.How strange, finding comfort in torment.Tormenting Hermes.Tormenting her.I hum softly, pretending to read the news, but really, I’m savoring the memory of June’s face this afternoon—how she froze when I told her she’d be handling my gala dresses. Watching her bite down her discomfort like a good little intern. That’s the only thing that soothes me these days.Because the truth is, I'm extremely upset. Hermes doesn’t even look at me anymore. He hasn't still forgiven me, and I see the way he looks at her.He could burn the world for that girl.Damnit. To hell with them.I will now burn him, and her.I press my lips together, laugh under my breath. "Blackmailing is fun," I whisper to myself.The receptionist glances my way— polite—and says, "Miss Voss? The doctor will see you no
The Night Before I Knew Him Going Slowly
~Hermes~I watch Gavin shrug like it’s nothing. "Well, it’s no big deal. She was there for work, I guess."I frown, the crease between my brows deepening. "I don’t understand, Gavin. Why didn’t you tell me this?"Gavin scoffs, a corner of his mouth twitching. "Why didn’t you tell me you had another plan with fixing your father’s issues?"I groan, dragging my hands over my face, wishing I could just stop talking. I can’t tell him. I cannot tell him that my father has woken up, that the decision was made by him and that I’ve been carrying it alone."See," Gavin continues, standing to pour us both coffee, "I got to know when she called me asking for legal advice."Curiosity spikes, sharp and unwelcome. "On what? Did she hit anyone? Kill anyone?"Gavin freezes, then laughs nervously, raising his hands. "Woah… woah… slow down. No. She didn’t do anything of that nature, okay? Just… some legal stuff about starting a business. God, Hermes, what’s wrong with you?" He hands me the cup of coffee
The Night Before I Knew Him Find something juicy
~Hermes~I’m just finishing the last note on the sticky pad—one of the personal reminders I have to write down before another memory lapse hits. My handwriting looks rushed, almost angry, but I can’t afford to forget again. Not today.I glance at my watch, waiting for an update on the request I’d sent earlier. My thoughts are a haze of noise until—"Mr. Grande?"Vanessa’s voice cuts through as she pushes the door open slightly. "There seems to be some… commotion on the lower floor. At the CCO’s office."My brows knit together. "What?"She hesitates, scratching the side of her head. "Uhm—I think Miss Voss is… scolding June. I know it’s not exactly your concern but—""Do other employees know about this?" I interrupt, already standing.Vanessa looks uneasy. "A few of them probably heard. It’s getting loud."My pulse spikes. Natalya’s threat from last night flashes in my mind, and a curse slips through my teeth.Did I even warn June about her? Or did I forget again?I click my tongue hard
The Night Before I Knew Him You Whore!
June"What do you mean you’re pregnant — and the father is Tobias?" I blink hard, sure I misheard her. My eyes go wide as I grab Leila’s wrist and pull her closer. "You’re joking, right? This is some kind of prank? Where’s Kayla? Is she filming this?"Leila shakes her head, her expression drained. "No prank." She bends down, drops the trash bag she was holding, and slowly walks over to the couch.I trail after her, heart racing."It was… a one-night thing," she says quietly, biting her nail. "We were drinking, talking — and then, it just… happened."I sit beside her, gripping her cold hands. "Oh my God. Is that why you asked me if I was dating Tobias? Leila, we are—""Forget that," she cuts in quickly, voice trembling. "I was being stupid. After that night, we hung out for a while. He… he asked me out."I blink, confused. "And you said yes?"She shakes her head. "No. I said no. I didn’t know if I loved him enough to start something serious. My life’s already a mess as it is."I study
The Night Before I Knew Him Blackmail
~Hermes~Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.I can feel my heart shatter into a thousand jagged pieces as I sit against the door she just closed, back pressed hard against the wood. I want to scream, but all that comes out is a hollow silence. I hope she can somehow hear the internal chaos, the reason I can’t choose her.I’d let the company burn for her… but at what cost?Her words echo in my head, sharper than any blade."I hate you, Hermes, and I pray that in my next life, I never cross paths with you again."They twist in me like a dull knife, relentless, unforgiving. She hates me… and I deserve it.I don’t even know how to protect her. I say I love her, but I can’t love her the way she deserves. I can’t shield her from Natalya, from this mess I’ve built around us. It’s better… she hates me.I’ll carry her words to my grave. And if, by some impossible chance, life gives me another shot, I pray I’m not the man I am now. That I can love her properly — without dragging her into the chaos of my complica
