Her gaze lifts.

I watch the way her eyes widen, the way color crawls up her neck and settles on her cheeks.

That look—God—that look alone is enough to rip the restraint out of me.

She shouldn’t look at me like that.

Not when I’m this close.

Not when I’m already fighting myself.

I brace both hands on the cabinet above her head, gripping the edges because I need something to hold onto before I reach for her instead.

“What?” she stutters, droppin

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   She's missing

    ♡ Leila ♡I twisted my head toward the front door the second it burst open, my heart slamming into my ribs so hard I thought it might crack them. For one frozen second, I was sure it was them—the same faceless men who’d dragged me out of New York in the dead of night, and dumped me back in Vegas without a single explanation.My mind raced ahead of reality: What if they’d come back? What if they’d changed their minds and decided I knew too much? What if they saw Kayla standing there, wide-eyed and innocent, and decided she was collateral?Oh God. Not her. Please, not her.“Leila! My God, where have you been?”June’s voice—sharp, familiar, laced with worry—cut through the panic like a knife. Relief hit me so fast it almost hurt. I wasn’t supposed to feel relieved to see her. June was the absolute last person I wanted in this house right now, the last person I wanted to face with the truth still rotting inside me. But compared to the alternative… I’d take June any day.I let out a shaky

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   It's thief!

    ♡Leila♡A sudden shout jolted me out of the heavy darkness.My eyes fluttered open halfway.Everything was blurry.Shapes moved around me, unfamiliar and hazy.“It’s a thief! It’s a thief!”The voice rang through the room.Too familiar.My eyes flew open.I jerked upright from the couch.“Kayla?” I whispered.My gaze darted around the room.My heart skipped.I was… home.Back in Las Vegas.Back in my house.For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.I thought I was going to die.I thought those men who captured me were taking me somewhere to kill me.So why—Why on God’s earth was I back here?Was this a dream?“Leila?” Kayla said slowly.The broom in her hand slipped and clattered loudly to the floor.Her eyes widened.“Leila!”Her voice rose sharply, and I shut my eyes for a moment, trying to steady my mind.Before I could say anything, she rushed forward and pulled me into a tight embrace.“Is it a dream?” she said breathlessly against my shoulder. “You came back. You’re so good at surprise

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   Grab her

    ♡Leila♡Everything sounded muffled.Like I was underwater.Voices overlapped in my ears, distant and distorted, as the men rushed around Cain. Someone shouted instructions while others lifted him from the ground. I watched them carry him away in a panic, their movements frantic, desperate.My hands hung uselessly at my sides, the gun already at the floor.My mind refused to process what had just happened.Then my eyes drifted across the room.José.He had already pulled his sister to her feet. Tracy clung to him while he dragged her toward the exit, using the chaos as cover.They were getting away.Before I could even react, a hand suddenly grabbed my arm.“Come here.”Xavi.The firm grip snapped me out of the fog that had swallowed my head.“Xavi—” My voice came out hoarse, my lips trembling as the words struggled to form. “What have I done?”For a moment, the anger burning in his eyes softened into something else.Confusion.He looked at me as if he didn’t know what to say.As if th

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   Because of a man

    ♡Leila ♡I moved forward, not minding their stares.The gun felt heavier than I expected when I snatched it from Cain’s hand.My fingers were shaking.My chest was burning.My eyes were hot, dry, bloodshot.I stepped forward anyway.One step.Two.Everyone went silent.I raised the gun and pointed it straight at her at the girl on the chair, but then I paused and really looked at her.And my breath hitched.No.No… I knew that face.That wasn’t Mary but it wasn’t some stranger.That was Tracy.José’s sister.The clingy girl from the party.The one who kept touching Cain’s arm and wanted to dance with him.Her.She… pushed me?Her?My hand trembled harder.My head spun.Why?“Cain!” José shouted, rushing forward.Before he could reach us, Cain’s men stepped in front of him, guns raised, blocking him.It hit me then.He came alone, just him and his sister.No army or backup.“No, no, no,” José yelled, panicking. “That’s not what we fucking discussed!”“Shut up, José,” Cain snapped.He s

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   I'll kill her myself

    ♡Leila’s POV♡Mia’s lips parted, her face paling.“Ma, I—I can’t…” she started, guilt flooding her features.Her voice broke off, and something inside me snapped.“Are you people being serious right now?” I whispered, then louder, my voice cracking as I stood up. “Are you actually doing this to me?”Mia flinched.“You better start talking, Mia,” I said, my chest rising and falling. “In fact—give me that.”Before she could react, I snatched the walkie-talkie from her hands.“M- Madam—”I ignored her and switched it on.Static crackled.Then a voice slipped through.“…They’re at the city gate… near the border…”My fingers tightened around the device.I sucked in a shaky breath, my heart slamming against my ribs.It felt like every dark emotion I had been suppressing—anger, grief, betrayal, pain—came crawling out of its cage all at once, wrapping itself around my lungs.So it was real.They knew.Everyone knew.And they kept it from me.I closed my eyes briefly, then opened them, my reso

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   Is it because it's her?

    ♤Leila♤I swatted weakly at the bug, my arm heavy, my body still tired, then turned to Cain, waiting for him to say something.He didn’t.He just stood there, staring into nothing, his jaw tightening like he was biting back words.“Cain?” I whispered.He blinked, like he was snapping out of a trance. “Leila… why don’t you go eat and get some rest?”I frowned slightly.Why was he acting like that?Distant, careful, and almost… guilty.Did he see through me?Through this fake calm I had been forcing on myself since I woke up from that dream.No matter how hard I tried to be this “new Leila” he talked about, I couldn’t just pretend nothing had happened. I couldn’t pretend I hadn’t crossed a line. I couldn’t pretend I hadn’t gone down on him, thinking he was Tobias, thinking it was all just some twisted dream.It was maddening.I kept telling myself it was a mistake.A grieving woman should be given some grace.Even if that “grace” came out in the most inappropriate way possible.Still…“

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   Take me with you

    ♡ Leila ♡“Are you going to keep holding that gun like that?”Cain’s voice drifts lazily behind me as he peels open another candy wrapper.I glance over my shoulder, biting my lip in frustration.It’s been days.Days since I started training so I could defend myself and my unborn child.Days of pre

    ♡Leila♡A minute passed.Then two.Then I heard a familiar sound through the bathroom door.Cain’s ringtone.Someone was calling him.My breath hitched as I pressed my ear closer to the door, straining to listen. His voice dropped into a low murmur. I couldn’t make out the words. Just fragments, it

    ♡Leila♡My heart tried to leap straight out of my chest as the silence dragged on for what felt like dreadful minutes.I didn’t dare turn around.I didn’t dare move.I didn’t even dare breathe properly.The tension in the room was nerve-wracking, thick enough to choke on.Cain still hadn’t moved hi

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   He remembers

    JuneWhat the fuck are you doing, June?I kept asking myself that—right up until his question drops between us, dark and heavy.“Did I ever tell you… what I did to Chris?”My hands freeze against his bare back. My eyes narrow before I can stop them.Another recovered memory. Chris. He remembers
