Synopsis
“Teach me” I said drunkenly “Teach me how to be a bad girl” “Are you sure about Tiny, there’s a tiny addiction that comes with that” he said, looking at me through the hood of his eyes. “What am I getting addicted to?” I echoed back, trying to keep my focus on his face, and not down his chest and his muscular arms. “Me” *** Cheryl Taylor had just recently divorced her cheating husband and decided to move back to her childhood town. Desperate for a room, she finds one with some weird rules and a roommate who seemed to busy to meet with her – everything comes to a shocking pause when she finds out it’s Aiden Scott – the town’s bad boy, and in fact her high school bully. Aiden Scott is now a made man and a billionaire but he’s stepped on a few toes to get there and now they’re out for his blood and he has to lay low in the town he grew up – the town that only saw him as a good for nothing bastard. He decides to get a roommate to appear normal, he takes the first one he got and only because it’s Cheryl Taylor – the one girl he had harbored a secret crush for years.

The Roomie Complex 174 - MY FAMILY
Aiden’s POVSome days, I still wake up in disbelief. Not because of the guilt that used to sit on my chest like a brick, but because I can’t believe how much joy fits into something as small as a morning.Like today.The sound of soft giggles filters into the bedroom, sunlight sneaking through the curtains and dancing across the sheets. I crack one eye open and see Cheryl’s side of the bed is empty. Again. And just like clockwork, the next sound is tiny feet pattering down the hallway, followed by—“Daddyyy!”Marissa.I smile, just as she climbs up the side of the bed like a determined little warrior in a pink pajama set.“Hey, Rissy Bear,” I mumble, pulling her into the covers with me. “What time is it?”“Mama said no clocks on Saturdays!” she declares, face serious like it’s some universal law. “We make pancakes now!”She was the smartest little thing with eyes like her mother, in fact she was a splitting image of her and it filled me with so much joy every time I looked at her - a

Cheryl’s POV – Two Years LaterIt’s strange how life finds a way to settle into something resembling peace after chaos. Two years ago, I didn’t think I’d ever know happiness again—not after the betrayal, the heartbreak, the distance between Aiden and me that felt like an entire galaxy. But here I was now, standing on the balcony of our home, barefoot with a cup of warm chamomile tea in my hand, listening to the laughter of my daughter echoing from the garden below.Marissa.She was the most beautiful thing I’d ever created. A tiny bundle of sass and joy with my curls and Aiden’s mischievous grin. She was the light of our home—the heartbeat of our family.“Aiden, don’t let her eat the dirt!” I called out, trying not to laugh as I watched my husband and our daughter outside, kneeling in the flower beds together.Aiden turned, looking up at me with mock exasperation. “You said let her explore! I’m just letting her explore her inner gardener-slash-dirt connoisseur!”Marissa squealed in de

AIDEN'S POVI woke up in the guest room, my body stiff from the awful mattress and my heart heavier than the day before. But for the first time in weeks, maybe months, I had a sense of clarity. I needed to fix this. Not just for Cheryl—but for myself. I couldn’t keep running from the mess I’d made, and I was done letting my past dictate the future.I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and dragged myself out of bed. The house was quiet—eerily so—but I didn’t check if Cheryl was awake. I had a routine, and I wasn’t going to break it now.The early morning air was crisp as I hit the pavement. The city was slowly coming to life—cars rolling by, joggers nodding in passing acknowledgment. But my mind was miles away. Each footfall on the concrete was a reminder of how badly I’d messed up, of how I had someone amazing—someone loyal, beautiful, and mine—and I let ghosts of the past threaten it all.Bianca. The name alone made my jaw clench. Not because I hated her. I didn’t. I hated the part of mys

CHERYL'S POVI didn’t speak as I walked through the front door.The silence in the house greeted me like an old enemy — cold, familiar, and waiting. Everything still looked the same. The same polished floors, the same stupid bowl of fake fruit on the dining table, the same scent of his cologne woven into the air like it owned the walls.But it didn’t feel like my home anymore.Not really.Not after everything.I walked in ahead of him, ignoring the way he lingered at the door like he half-expected me to bolt. I didn’t give him that satisfaction. I was too tired to run. Too tired to argue. Too tired to feel anything but numb.“You can sleep in the guest room,” he said, voice low but not unkind.I didn’t answer. I just kept walking.The stairs felt heavier than I remembered. Maybe it was the weight of everything I was dragging behind me — the baby, the memories, the months of silence and shame. Or maybe it was just him. His presence. His eyes on my back like he was trying to read my tho

(Aiden’s POV)She was still asleep when I woke up.For a moment, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, listening to her soft breathing beside me — steady, calm. The storm of last night had passed, but the wreckage it left behind lingered in the space between us. I could feel it in the way her

Cheryl’s POVThe retching started before I could even sit up. One second I was asleep, the next, I was racing to the bathroom, barely making it in time. My knees hit the cold tile floor with a graceless thud as my stomach turned inside out for what felt like the hundredth time this week. The mornin
