The Perfect Wife’s Affair How many others?
~SERENA POV~"Don't touch me!" I shrieked, swinging the plastic container at his face. "Don't you ever fucking touch me again!""Serena, please! Just stop for one second and listen to me!" Cassian shouted, his fingers tightening around my wrists as he tried to pin me in place. "She is just a business contact! She’s an old friend who’s been helping me look into Ryker’s federal investigation… there is absolutely nothing going on between us!"Liar! I thought. What friend kisses you on the lips like that?! I wanted to yell that out and challenge him, but I was scared that if I said that… I would start crying. And I would not let him see me cry for him!So I snarled instead--"I don't care! Let go of me!" I screamed, my voice raw and cracking with agonizing fury.His touch, which had felt so warm and protective only a few hours ago, now burned my skin like pure acid. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. All I could see was the memory of that stunning woman in the burgundy dress pressing
The Perfect Wife’s Affair Always a Player
~SERENA POV~When I opened my eyes, bright morning sunlight was streaming through the living room curtains.For a second, I was disoriented. I wasn't in my cold, massive bed. I was lying on the leather couch in the living room, wrapped tightly in a blanket. I lifted the collar of the oversized shirt I was wearing and took a deep breath.The woodsy, rich scent of Cassian hit my nose, and my chest instantly tightened.I sat up quickly, reaching for my phone on the coffee table. I unlocked the screen, expecting to see a missed call or at least a text message from Cassian. He had promised he was going to look into the corporate leak and keep me updated. He had promised he would protect me.My screen was completely empty. No texts. No calls.I pressed his contact name and dialed his number. The phone rang four times before going straight to his automated voicemail."Call me back, please," I whispered to the recording, hanging up with a small frown.I stood up and walked to the kitchen, m
The Perfect Wife’s Affair This was not the plan
~SERENA POV~"Did you do this?!" I demanded, my voice shaking with rage.Cassian didn't flinch. "Serena—""Don't 'Serena' me!" I yelled, stepping right into his personal space. "This was not the plan, Cassian! We never agreed to do something like this! We promised we wouldn't take any big steps without each other knowing!"My hands balled into tight fists at my sides. "If you leaked those vault documents behind my back, you just deliberately put a giant target right on my head! Ryker just told me that I am the only other person in the world with access to those files! If he suspects a leak from home, he's going to come straight for me! Did you fucking do this?!"Cassian took a slow step toward me. He didn't look panicked, nor did he look angry. His dark eyes were steady, calm, and completely focused on me."I didn't do it, Serena," Cassian said, his voice deep and smooth."How can I believe you?!" I choked out, tears of frustration stinging the corners of my eyes. "You hate him! Yo
The Perfect Wife’s Affair Ryker in panic
~SERENA POV~The sharp, terrifying sound of Ryker’s ringtone echoed through the kitchen, shattering the air like broken glass.I reacted instinctively, shoving my hands against Cassian’s chest and pushing him away. My heart was slamming against my ribs so hard I could barely breathe."Mute the TV! Mute it now!" I hissed in a frantic whisper.Cassian quickly grabbed the remote from the island and silenced the blaring news broadcast.I scrambled across the slick hardwood floor, looking around the room in a total panic. Cassian’s penthouse had distinct luxury finishes, the imported marble, the modern brass fixtures, the high-end cabinetry. If Ryker saw any of it on the camera, I was dead.I backed myself into a plain, blank corner of the kitchen wall where there were no details, no cabinets, and no artwork, just a completely neutral white backdrop. I took two deep, ragged breaths, slapping my cheeks with my cold hands to force the color back into my face. I squeezed my eyes shut for
The Perfect Wife’s Affair Don’t get used to it
~SERENA POV~"Serena... look at me," Lora said quietly.I swallowed hard, forcing myself to meet her eyes."Then what happens when you start loving him?" Lora asked softly. "What then?"My entire body went completely numb, and the noise of the restaurant completely dissolved into silence. But I refused to let myself cower at the face of this challenging question. I had to answer and stand my ground.So I looked back at Lora in the eyes… "I could never fall in love with him, Lora," I said, my voice stiff and rigid. "It's impossible. It's purely physical. That's all it will ever be."The words tasted like complete poison on my tongue. I was lying to Lora, but worse than that, I was lying to myself. Every single beat of my racing heart proved how deeply I was already falling for Cassian.Lora opened her mouth to argue, her eyes filled with obvious doubt, but before a single word could escape her lips, my phone vibrated loudly on the marble table.My eyes darted down to the screen.Cass

~SERENA POV~"Hey, Lora," I said, forcing my voice to sound as steady as possible as I pressed the phone against my ear."Serena! Finally!" Lora’s energetic voice exploded through the speaker. "Where have you been? I feel like I haven't seen your face in a month!""I've just been... busy," I lied softly, staring at the empty silk sheets of my bed."Well, you're not allowed to be busy today," Lora insisted. "We haven't hung out in forever. Come get lunch with me downtown. There's a new Italian spot I've been dying to try."I hesitated for a second. My mind was still reeling from Ryker's terrifying FaceTime call. My pulse was hammering, and my stomach was twisted into knots. I still couldn't stop wondering if Ryker knew something about Cassian.Part of me wanted to call Cassian immediately to ask him what was going on, but I knew that was a bad idea. Every time I was around Cassian, my judgment melted away. I couldn't think clearly when it came to him.I needed a distraction. I needed
