YULIA

My phone rang just as I was descending the stairs.

I glanced at the unfamiliar number on the screen and almost ignored it.

But it was a Russian line.

I answered. “Hello?”

“Good morning. May I speak with Miss Yulia Adley?”

“Yes, this is Yulia.”

“I'm calling from Belov & Associates. You submitted an application for the junior legal position two weeks ago.”

My heart immediately started beating faster.

“Yes. Yes.”

There was a brief pause before the woman continued.

“I’m pleased to inform you

    YULIAMy phone rang just as I was descending the stairs.I glanced at the unfamiliar number on the screen and almost ignored it. But it was a Russian line.I answered. “Hello?”“Good morning. May I speak with Miss Yulia Adley?”“Yes, this is Yulia.”“I'm calling from Belov & Associates. You submitted an application for the junior legal position two weeks ago.”My heart immediately started beating faster.“Yes. Yes.”There was a brief pause before the woman continued.“I’m pleased to inform you that your application has been successful. The partners reviewed your academic credentials and interview assessment, and we would like you to join our firm.”My body went still.For a split second, I wasn't sure I'd heard her correctly.“You accepted me?”“Yes. We'd like you to begin next Monday.”My mouth fell open. “Monday?”“Yes. If that works for you.”“Yes!” I answered far too quickly.The woman laughed softly. “Excellent. I'll send the employment documents and your onboarding details to y

  • The Wrong Kind Of Love   CHAPTER 105: Still Hoping

    KENDRICKThe envelope had been sitting on my desk for more than twenty minutes, and I still hadn't opened it.I stared at it as though it had personally offended me.The Cromwell Hospital logo was stamped across the front of the envelope; beneath it were my name and the reference number for the DNA test. Everything about it looked painfully official. There was no room for interpretation, no room for excuses, and certainly no room for the kind of miracle I had been hoping for.I finally reached for it.My fingers felt heavier than they should have as I tore the envelope open and pulled out the report.I scanned the first few lines. Then I saw it.Probability of Paternity: 99.99%.I stopped breathing for a second.I slouched back slowly in my chair, the report still between my fingers.Positive.I was the father.For weeks now, I'd told myself I was prepared for this.Seems I was a liar.A part of me had been praying for the opposite result. I'd imagined opening this report and seeing

    YULIA“So,” Adeline said, narrowing her eyes at me. “How is Russia?”I smiled faintly. “It's going well.”Three weeks in Russia, and I was beginning to understand why people said distance could change a person.I’ve been better at carrying the love without letting it dictate what I did next.I stood on the balcony outside my bedroom, one shoulder resting against the stone railing as I held my phone up for the FaceTime call. I watched the men near the entrance exchange a few words while they patrolled around the place.My mother's mansion was enormous.“That was suspiciously quick,” Adeline muttered, drawing my attention back to our call.“What do you mean?”She raised an eyebrow. “You're telling me you've been in Russia for three weeks and absolutely nothing dramatic has happened?”“Nothing that concerns you.”“Yulia.”I laughed softly. “I mean it. I'm okay, girl.”“Hmm.” She studied me through the screen for several seconds. “So what have you been doing?” she asked.“Mostly staying

    KENDRICKMy project manager was still talking, but I had stopped hearing him several minutes ago.My eyes remained fixed on the documents spread across my desk, though I hadn't absorbed a single word on the page. Numbers, timelines, deliverables, projections—they all blurred together. Normally, I could spend hours dissecting a project down to its smallest detail, but today my mind refused to cooperate.Yulia.Her name had lived in my head for days.I had lost count of how many times I'd called her. Forty? Fifty? Maybe more. Every call ended the same way, straight to voicemail, and every message remained unanswered. I had tried giving her space, convincing myself that she needed time to process everything, but the silence was slowly driving me insane.“Sir!”I blinked and glanced up.My project manager shifted uncomfortably in his chair. “I'm sorry for shouting, but you weren't listening.”I dragged a hand down my face before loosening my tie. “You're right. I'm sorry.”He cleared

    YULIA“Are you sure about this?”My father's question hung in the room, and for a moment, nobody said anything.I sat between my mother and Daphne, my hands folded tightly in my lap while I tried to keep my emotions under control.I had already made my decision, but hearing my father ask me again made the weight of it settle over me.“Yes, Dad,” I said quietly. “I'm sure.”He studied me, his expression filled with concern. “You told your mother about this when she came to visit you two days ago?”“Yes. I told her I want to go to Russia with her. I've made up my mind.”My father leaned back in his chair and exhaled slowly. He looked at my mother, then back at me.“If you've decided, I can't stop you.” His voice softened. “I'll be honest with you, baby girl. I'm a little paranoid about having you so far away, but you're going with your mother. I trust her to keep you safe.”My mother reached over and squeezed my hand. “I'll protect her with my life, William.”“I know you will,” he said.

  • The Wrong Kind Of Love   CHAPTER 101: The Choice

    YULIAI had spent most of the morning curled beneath my blankets, staring at the same spot on the wall as if it could somehow give me an answer. My room was quiet except for the occasional sound of movement downstairs, but I had no desire to leave my bed. A soft knock sounded against my bedroom door before it opened.Adeline stepped inside and halted when she saw me. She marched toward my bed and placed her hands on her hips.“Girl, get up. You're not going to let Kendrick be the reason you lose your spark.”I managed a weak laugh that disappeared almost instantly. “It hurts so much, Adeline.”She sat beside me and studied my face. “I get it.”“No, you don't.” My voice wavered. “I don't even know what I'm supposed to feel anymore. One minute I thought we were finally going to have a future together, and the next I'm standing there listening to his mother announce that he's having a baby with someone else.”Adeline sighed and glanced around the room. Her eyes landed on the tray of f

    YULIA“So you’re telling me that you’re living with the Kendrick Fernsby?” Adeline asked dramatically, raising both hands to make quotation marks in the air. I laughed, taking another sip of my pineapple smoothie. I had decided to meet her at The Good Life Eatery because their smoothies were ridic

    KENDRICKI shouldn’t have kissed her. It wasn’t even a kiss worth overthinking—just her cheek, a brief moment of contact that should’ve meant nothing.But it did, and that was the problem.I ruffled my hair, staring blankly at the surveillance analytics displayed across my MacBook’s screen while ab

    YULIA“This is it?” I asked, glancing around the parking lot filled with cars. “Yes.” Kendrick parked his car and turned to me. “Ever been to a street race?”I shook my head wildly, speechless all of a sudden. His expression barely changed, but his eyes said otherwise . “Then prepare yourself. Yo

    YULIA“We’re almost there, baby girl.” My father watched me as I angled towards the side window, lost in my thoughts.“I still can’t believe you eloped and got married.” I glanced at him, and he was smiling.“Well… I can’t be single forever. I’m ready to settle down and spend the rest of my life wi
