YULIA

“I really messed up, Adeline.” I stopped beside my bed and pressed my phone tighter against my ear.

I had walked the length of my bedroom so many times that I was beginning to memorize every little detail of the carpet beneath my feet.

The cream curtains were half-drawn, allowing the morning light to spill across the room, but I barely noticed it. My mind was still stuck at dinner the night before.

My father's proud smile.

My mother's questions.

Kendrick's silence. And then the sound of t

  • The Wrong Kind Of Love   CHAPTER 87: Paradise With y Girl

    KENDRICKWith my latest project underway, I knew more was bound to hit the fan, but before it did, I wanted to do something nice and private for my girl.So when Yulia told me she wanted to go on vacation, I decided there was only one way to do it—give her an experience so unforgettable that every other trip would pale in comparison. Admittedly, I didn’t like vacation like that. Anytime I left the country, it was for business. I saw no value in taking time off just to look at the fucking water or be by my lonesome. All I did was be swallowed up by my thoughts, and whether I was around Europe or on other continents, the shit didn’t feel good.I also hadn’t met a woman that I felt comfortable enough with to fly out of the country. The majority of the time, when you spent too much fucking time with a woman, she justifiably began to expect more from the relationship.I wasn’t on that before Yulia. Just gifts and a couple of sex-filled nights together were all I was willing to proffe

  • The Wrong Kind Of Love   CHAPTER 85: A Little Peace, A Lot of Love

    YULIA“That was quite a show.”I froze so suddenly that I swear my heart stopped.Every muscle in my body locked in place, and for several seconds, I couldn't bring myself to turn around. I knew that voice. I had heard it enough times to recognize it anywhere, and right now, hearing it was probably the most embarrassing thing that could have happened.Oh, God.I slowly looked toward the doorway and found her standing there with the most amused expression I had ever seen on her face. “Shit,” Kendrick muttered under his breath.I wanted to disappear.“Don't move,” Kendrick said to me and looked toward his cousin. “Celeste. Face the wall and give us a minute to get dressed.”Celeste immediately burst into laughter. “Okay, okay. I'm facing the wall. You two carry on with whatever professional activities you were apparently conducting in here.”“Celeste,” Kendrick warned.“I'm quiet!”I covered my face with both hands, feeling the heat spread all the way to my ears. There was no way I wa

  • The Wrong Kind Of Love   CHAPTER 85: A Beautiful Mistake

    KENDRICKI stared at Yulia from across my office, unable to decide which emotion deserved to win. Anger, relief, hurt, or the overwhelming urge to cross the space between us and pull her into my arms.She stood there quietly, her fingers intertwined in front of her. For the first time since she'd walked through my door, the confidence I'd always seen in her seemed to have disappeared.I leaned back against the window and arched a brow. “Well?”She gulped, holding tight onto her purse. “I uh… I came to apologize.”I said nothing. Just stood there, arms crossed, taking in her sad expression.Her eyes dropped to the floor before she forced herself to look at me again. “I should have come sooner, but I didn't know what to say. Every time I thought about calling you, I remembered what I said at dinner.”“You mean when you told me loving me is going to cost you everyone else?”She nodded slowly. “Yes.”My hands curled into fists on the desk as I glared at her. “The last time Sophie came bet

    YULIA“I really messed up, Adeline.” I stopped beside my bed and pressed my phone tighter against my ear.I had walked the length of my bedroom so many times that I was beginning to memorize every little detail of the carpet beneath my feet.The cream curtains were half-drawn, allowing the morning light to spill across the room, but I barely noticed it. My mind was still stuck at dinner the night before.My father's proud smile.My mother's questions.Kendrick's silence. And then the sound of that glass breaking in his hand.“You think?” she replied immediately.I winced at her tone. “Adeline.”“No, Yulia. I'm serious. What were you thinking?”I resumed pacing, rubbing my forehead. “I wasn't thinking clearly.”“You obviously weren't.”“I know.”I could hear her sigh through the phone.“I don’t understand. What are you really scared of, Yulia?”“Of the future.” I peeped through my window, but was lost in thought. “I’ve been thinking about that lately. And I said that to him.”“Yulia…”

  • The Wrong Kind Of Love   CHAPTER 83: The Consequences of Anger

    KENDRICKBy the time I left the penthouse, I was furious. Not the kind of anger that made me want to break something. This was worse.It sat beneath my skin, hot and restless, replaying every word Yulia had said until I could barely think straight.Maybe I'm scared that one day you'll get tired of fighting.My hands tightened around the steering wheel.How could she think I would get tired? After everything we'd been through? After everything I'd done to prove that I wasn't going anywhere?I pressed harder on the accelerator, my jaw clenched. The city lights blurred past the windshield.I loved her. That was the problem. If I didn't love her, none of this would hurt so fucking much.My phone rang through the car speakers.Victor.I stared at the screen for a second before answering. “What’s up?”“Damn, bro,” Victor said with a laugh. “You chose the exact moment I'm out of the country to go to the club without me?”Despite myself, I let out a bitter chuckle. “Trust me. I'm not having a

  • The Wrong Kind Of Love   CHAPTER 82: The Price Of Loving You

    KENDRICKThe cut on my palm started throbbing. I had barely noticed it at dinner.Not with Yulia sitting across from me, refusing to meet my eyes while her father happily talked about her supposed boyfriend.Justin.The lie she'd told her mother had been sitting at that table like a ticking bomb, and I'd been stupid enough to think we could keep hiding forever.The moment I stepped into the small sitting room, my mother followed behind me with a first-aid kit.“Kendrick, sit down before you make that wound worse,” she ordered, gesturing to the couch.“I’m fine, Mom.”“You're bleeding on the floor.”I glanced down. She was right. A thin line of blood had run from my palm toward my wrist.With a frustrated sigh, I dropped into one of the chairs in the sitting room while she sat beside me, examining the wound. “This isn't too deep,” she murmured.“I know.”She sat beside me, taking my hand. “This might sting.”“Right.”She carefully cleaned the small cuts, and the moment the antiseptic t

    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

    KENDRICK“What were they thinking, letting her live with you?” Victor asked, leaning back lazily in the chair across from my desk like he owned the space.“Safety.” I shrugged, flipping through the folder in front of me without bothering to look up. “Apparently, her father thinks London will collap
