Cole

The music was loud. Laughter and chatter filled the club. Everyone around me seemed to be enjoying themselves. But me? I sat there in the VIP box, my thoughts far away from the stage in front of me.

I was looking at the performance below, but I wasn't really seeing anything.

Marcus sat beside me, clearly excited.

"Isn't this place great?" Marcus leaned in, grinning. “I told you you'd like this place.”

I looked at him, but I didn’t answer. He kept talking, excitedly chattering about how he looked forward to Scarlet Veil's performance tonight.

“Man, I’ve been waiting to see her perform live,” he said. “The whole city’s obsessed with her lately. This is going to be good.”

Marcus kept talking, but his voice slowly faded in my ears. It was like someone had turned down the volume of the world around me.

My thoughts were elsewhere.

Skylar.

I was thinking of her.

Even here, she was still the only thing on my mind. I’d already started mapping out the plan in my head. After the show, I’d

    ColeI turned off the engine and leaned back in the driver’s seat, staring blankly through the windshield at the small restaurant ahead. For a moment, I just sat there, gripping the steering wheel, trying to steady the rush of thoughts in my head. My pulse hadn’t stopped racing since I received that message.I honestly didn’t know what I was doing here.What if it was a setup?A trap from a rival company?Or maybe some kind of prank?I’d considered all of that on my way here, and yet, here I was… alone.I exhaled sharply and shook my head, trying to get a grip. “Get it together, Cole,” I muttered under my breath. Maybe it was just curiosity, or maybe it was something deeper—something that made me feel like I needed to see this through myself.I stepped out of the car and walked into the restaurant. The soft chime above the door rang as I entered, and almost immediately, a waiter appeared. He was tall, acted polite, and strangely expectant, as if he had been waiting just for me.“Mr. B

    ColeI leaned back in my office chair and sighed, setting aside one of the files. It had been a long morning… meetings, calls, reports. I was halfway through reading a report when a firm knock sounded at the door.“Come in,” I said, not looking up.“Cole.”I looked up and nodded. “Xavier. What is it?”He closed the door behind him and walked toward my desk.“There’s a little issue at the new construction site in Riverdale,” he began. “The indigenes living near the site are protesting again. They’re saying our work is affecting their water source and farmland.”I frowned slightly. “Didn’t we settle that matter last month? I thought the environmental team already ran tests and cleared everything.”“They did,” he confirmed. “But this time, it’s not about the report. The people said some of their trees were cut down without proper notice. They’re demanding compensation, and a few of them blocked the trucks this morning.”I sighed, rubbing my temple. “Of course they did. There’s always som

    AmberThe smell of garlic and onions filled the kitchen as I stirred the creamy pasta sauce simmering on the stove. I had a song playing softly from the bluetooth speaker on the counter, and I couldn’t help swaying my hips to the rhythm.I was halfway through tasting the sauce when I suddenly felt a familiar arm snake around my waist.Before I could even turn, a soft kiss brushed against the side of my neck.I gasped lightly but smiled. “Xavier…”He hummed lowly against my skin, his breath warm on my neck. “Mmm, you have no idea how beautiful you look right now,” he murmured between kisses. “Just look at you… swaying those hips like that while you cook. You’re driving me insane.”I laughed softly as I turned my head slightly to glance at him. “You’re such a naughty man, Xavier. You sneak up on me just to say that?”“Well, you’re the one making it hard for me to behave. The way you move, baby, it’s impossible to resist.”I giggled, playfully swatting his arm. “Behave, mister. I don’t w

    Cole“Easy… breathe, Skylar,” I murmured softly, rubbing her back in slow, gentle circles. My other hand held her hair out of the way as she crouched over the toilet, her body trembling slightly as she retched again.The vomiting sound coming from the toilet was what woke up this morning. Realising it was Skylar, I had to rush to help her and find out what was going on.When she finally stopped, she stayed there for a moment, catching her breath, one hand resting on the toilet seat for support. I grabbed a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth before flushing the toilet quietly.“My love, I’m calling Dr. Evans. He should come check on you.”She shook her head weakly, her face pale and sweaty. “No. There’s no need for that,” she whispered. “I’m fine… I just need to rest a bit and maybe take something for the nausea.”I frowned. “Rest isn’t going to help if something’s wrong.”She looked up at me with a faint smile. “It’s probably what I ate last night. Remember the company’s biannua

    Amber“Mr. Lambert, I assure you this property is worth every penny. The location alone gives it an edge over others in the market. It’s only a fifteen-minute drive from the central business district, and the neighborhood has been developing rapidly these past few months. You’d be buying into potential growth, not just land.”I paused, waiting for a response. On the other end of the line, the client hummed thoughtfully.I leaned back slightly in my chair, adjusting my phone against my ear. “Trust me, Mr. Lambert, this isn’t just a smart purchase… it’s a strategic one. You could easily double your return in less than two years if the market continues at this pace.”He gave a small chuckle. “You’re persuasive, Miss Amber. I’ll think about it.”I grinned. “I’ll take that as a good sign, Mr. Lambert. I’ll send you the details by email shortly. Thank you for your time.”As I ended the call, a soft knock sounded on my office door, and Marcus walked in with his usual confident stride.I blin

    Skylar “Skylar, I swear if you don’t talk to him right now, I’m calling the police!” Amber’s voice blared through the phone. I pulled the phone slightly away from my ear, wincing at the volume. “Amber, calm down. What’s going on this time?” “What’s going on?” she repeated, her tone sharp. “What’s going on is that Xavier is in my apartment… again! He’s pacing around like some kind of bodyguard and won’t even let me leave because I said I was going on a date with Marcus! I can’t even breathe in my own house!” I sighed, rubbing my forehead. “Oh, not again.” Honestly, I was tired. Deep down, truly tired of the endless push-and-pull between those two. They acted this same way at my wedding. One minute, they were fighting. The next, they were acting like nothing happened. Then they’d fight again, and somehow, I was always the one stuck in the middle trying to fix things. Why couldn’t they just either break up for good or get back together already? “Skylar, are you listening to
