The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 29: Crossed A Line
KENDRICKOne moment, Yulia was smiling, curled against my side in front of the fireplace. Next, her brows drew together, and a small frown appeared on her face.I sat up slightly. “What's wrong?”Before she could answer, the phone lit up again. This time, she went still. I watched her face go into shock as she stared at the screen.Something tightened in my chest. “What is it?” “I think…” Her voice came out small. “I think you should see this.” Slowly, she turned the phone toward me. I took the phone from her hand.The sender was an unknown number. First, it was a text: Enjoying your weekend? Then, another text. This time, a photograph.My jaw clenched instantly.It was a photo of her in a dimly lit restaurant, leaning in toward me. The angle was off, making it look more intimate than it actually was. Close enough to be dangerous if someone wanted it to be.Yulia looked up at me fast, like she was searching for my reaction more than the image itself.“What if they post it?” she whisp
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 28: The Message
YULIA“You’ve missed me that much, huh?” I teased as Kendrick closed the door behind us and immediately started kissing my face.“So much,” he grunted, trailing kisses along my jaw.“I missed you too.” I smiled when he finally pulled back enough to look at me. “But I’m hungry, so feed me. Now.” I pointed a warning finger at him as I pulled him toward the dining room.He laughed. “Alright, let me feed you.” Before I could take another step, he tugged me back against him and settled his hands on my waist. “Then I can have you for dessert.”His gaze swept slowly over me, hunger flickering in his eyes. “You look beautiful, Peaches.”Heat rushed to my cheeks. “Thank you,” I murmured.A satisfied smile tugged at his lips as he guided me toward the dining room. The weekend already felt better just because I was with him. After dinner, we settled in the living room, on the floor as we got comfortable. Kendrick pulled my shirt over my head and I pulled his off, and then his hands were on my w
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 27: Lines In The Dark
UNKNOWN POVShe gets away with everything. She gets to have everything.That’s what I kept coming back to. Not just him. Not what he does for her or how he looks at her or the way his whole body shifts when she’s in the room. All of that burns, yes. But what really ate at me was her. Just her. The way she moved through the world was so carefree and unbothered.I’d watched her go to school and settle on the first day, and go to class and back to her apartment and live this little life she’s built for herself, and all I can think is how unfair it is.How does she get to have him, and I don’t? How does she get to be loved, and I don’t?How she gets to walk into rooms full of people who care about her while I sit in the dark and count the ways she’s stolen from me.And she doesn’t even know I exist. Not really. Not in the way that matters. She has no idea that someone is keeping score. That every good thing that happens to her is a debt she owes me. That every smile on her face is borrow
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 26: The Only Thing on My Mind
KENDRICK“Our cybersecurity division is up twelve percent from last quarter, and we're currently negotiating four major contracts, including one with a government agency,” Daniel, my Chief Operations Officer, informed the room.Quarterly review meetings weren't exactly my favorite way to spend a morning, but they were necessary. Around the long conference table sat my executive team, department directors, legal advisors, and senior managers—the people responsible for keeping Fernsby Technologies operating at the level I'd built it to.As I listened, my gaze drifted briefly across the room. A lot had changed since the early days. Fernsby Technologies had started as a small cybersecurity consultancy with a handful of clients and a rented office space. Back then, I handled almost everything myself—security audits, penetration testing, client meetings, and endless nights writing code.Now, things were different. Over the years, the company has expanded into software development, cloud sec
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 25: The Distance Between Us
YULIAMoving day felt strange, not because I was going back to university, but because I was leaving my father’s house for school. Again.The last few weeks had become a rhythm I never expected to settle into so easily. Living with Kendrick and then coming home to familiar voices in the background had somehow become normal. Small moments that quietly stitched themselves into my routine without permission.Now I stood in my room, surrounded by packed suitcases, watching reality settle in slowly. School was reopening, and as always, life was moving forward.A knock sounded against my bedroom door.“Come in!” I called out, glancing toward the door as I smoothed down the last of my packed suitcase.The door opened, and my breath caught.Kendrick stepped inside, dressed in a charcoal suit, looking unfairly attractive for someone who had been awake since six.I wasn’t expecting him to come here today. I blinked once. Then twice. “What are you doing here?”He looked entirely too calm for som
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 24: Our Luck Won't Last
YULIA“Kendrick—” I began to speak, but he placed a finger over my lips, silencing me immediately.“Shhh,” he whispered, his face still buried against my neck, his breath warm and maddening.My heart stuttered. Oh my God. Daphne was right behind the door.“Yulia, are you okay?” she called again, her voice closer now. Too close.My throat went dry. I glanced toward the door like it might save me.“Answer her,” Kendrick whispered, like this was normal. Like we weren’t seconds away from disaster.“I… ye—yeah, Miss Daphne, I’m coming,” I called out quickly, my voice slightly unsteady despite my effort to sound normal.Kendrick smirked like the situation amused him, like we weren’t standing on the edge of getting caught. He finally shifted off me and lay back on the bed as if there wasn’t danger outside about to close in on our affair.I gawked at him with a look: Are you serious?“Go before she enters, Peaches. The door isn’t locked.”“Shit!” I muttered under my breath.I scrambled off th
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 10: Too Far Gone
YULIAThe room stayed quiet for exactly three seconds after Kendrick spoke. Three.Then Damon lost his mind. “Oh, this is insane,” he whistled, looking between us like he was witnessing live television. “He said that with his full chest too.”“Damon,” Victor warned, already laughing.“No, because w
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 9: I'm Choosing
KENDRICK“You say things like that too easily,” she muttered under her breath, arms folded like she was protecting herself from something she couldn’t name.I knew what she meant. I also knew she was right, but I didn’t care enough to stop.“I think plenty,” I told her. “I just don’t always stop my
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 6: The Look On His Face
YULIAMy breath caught somewhere in my throat. The room suddenly felt too small. I should’ve told him to stop. I should’ve reminded him that this was wrong. That our parents were married. That we were living under the same roof now. That he was my stepbrother.Instead, I sat there staring at him wh
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 5: Feeling The Moment
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
