Ties That Bind QUEEN OF CELL
ALEXA’S POVThe cell was cold, damp, and smelled like sweat and old iron. The walls were scratched with names and marks, proof that others had been here before me, counting days, scratching lines just to keep track of time.I sat on the hard bunk with my back against the wall, staring at the small barred window. The sun outside was bright, but in here, it felt like night never left.Ten days. That was all. Ten more days and I would be out of here. I had made the right calls, whispered the right words, pulled strings with people outside. I wasn’t just some weak woman that the world thought they could lock away.Ten days. And then I would show them all.My lips curved into a smile. A wicked, sharp smile.Because all this time, only one face burned in my mind. Piper.That girl. That low-class nobody who somehow ended up as Mrs. Archer. That woman who dared to step into my place, take what was mine, and make Rowan look at her like she was his world.I let out a bitter laugh and whispered,
Ties That Bind ANOTHER COMPANION
PIPER’S POVThe flight felt so long. I sat by the window and kept staring outside, watching the clouds. My thoughts kept going back to Rowan even when I tried not to. His face, his voice, the way he lied. I shook my head.Don’t think about him, Piper. Just stop.I told myself that over and over, but my chest still hurt.When the plane landed, Ruben walked in front. The airport was private, and we didn’t have to pass the normal crowd. Outside, the weather was warm, and I could smell the sea in the air. Palm trees lined the road, and the sun was setting, giving the sky an orange glow.The drive to the hotel was silent. Ruben was busy on his tablet, making calls, checking mails. I looked out of the window, watching cars, shops, and people rush past. Everything felt alive, but inside, I felt empty.The hotel was not like anything I had seen before. It was shining, beautiful, like something from a dream. The doors were tall glass, the lobby huge with marble floors and a giant chandelier. P
Ties That Bind A STEP TOO FAR
ROWAN’S POVMy mind was a storm I couldn’t quiet. Thoughts darted back and forth, crashing into each other like waves against rocks. Piper. Where was she? What was she doing? Was she safe? Or worse—was she already planning her life without me?I couldn’t focus on work, couldn’t even eat properly. Every time my phone buzzed, my heart leapt, only to crash when it wasn’t her. And deep down, I knew why—she had blocked me. She had cut me off completely.I sat in my office, tapping my fingers restlessly against the desk, until finally, I decided I couldn’t keep spiraling like this. I needed advice. Someone who could see things clearer than me.So, I went to see my lawyer. At least, I needed to talk to someone before I ran mad. I thought she would be at Diana’s place but she didn’t sound like Piper was with her at all.He was an older man with sharp eyes behind square glasses, always calm even when chaos ruled. I sat across from him, wringing my hands like a child.“You look troubled, Rowan
Ties That Bind ECHOES OF HEARTACHE
PIPER’S POVMorning sunlight spilled across the edge of the curtains, painting streaks of gold across the polished wooden floor. I stood in front of the mirror, brushing my hair with more force than necessary, as though tugging the strands could pull away the storm in my chest. Today was the day. The flight to South Africa. A so-called business vacation with Ruben.I should have felt excitement. Or maybe relief. But what I felt was a weight pressing against my ribs, heavy and sharp.As I adjusted the collar of my blouse, my phone buzzed on the dresser. A name I hadn’t expected lit up the screen: the guy I’d met at the restaurant. I hesitated before answering, biting down on my lower lip.“Hello?” I said, cautious.“Hey, Piper,” his voice came smooth, cheerful, oblivious to the wreckage of my life. “I was wondering if you’d like to meet up again. Maybe a late lunch or dinner? You seemed… well, interesting.”I closed my eyes, sighing through my nose. “I can’t. I’m not available. I’m ac
Ties That Bind MIDNIGHT PRESENCE
PIPER’S POVThe corridor outside my room felt oddly familiar…lamps casting soft pools of light, the faint scent of lemon oil that always meant Ruben’s staff had been through, smoothing and arranging. I closed the door softly behind me and let out a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding. For a moment I just stood there, forehead resting against the cool wood, listening to the house settle. It sounded deceptively peaceful.My phone buzzed before I could even set my bag down. Diana. I thumbed it open with a small, tired smile. She’d calmed down a lot since the old days—less frantic, more practical—so I answered right away.“Pip! Are you okay? Rowan called looking for you like a lunatic. He said—he said he was worried.” Diana’s voice was all tinged with panic and concern in a way that made me want to laugh and cry at the same time.I hid a strand of hair behind my ear. “He called?” I kept my tone even. If I let it crack, Diana would get nervous and pester me all night. “Yes. He ca
Ties That Bind TANGLED SHADOWS
PIPER’S POVI jolted awake with a start. My heart was pounding, my hands clammy as I looked around the room. The light still glowed faintly from the nightstand where I had turned it on hours ago. No figure stood there now, no presence lurked in the shadows. Has it been a dream? My mind still wrestled with the possibility, but the exhaustion from yesterday had swallowed me whole.I rubbed my face, trying to shake off the fog. The clock on the bedside table blinked at 9:12 AM. My phone buzzed, dragging my eyes toward it. Ten missed calls. All from Rowan. A lump formed in my throat. I wasn’t ready to face him. Not after what I’d seen. Not after the chip had burned holes into my trust.My thumb hovered over the screen, tempted to call him back, but the knock on my door interrupted my thoughts about Rowan and I was glad it did.“Piper?” Ruben’s voice came, calm, steady, the way it always was.“Yes?” I forced my voice not to shake to act like it was all good.He opened the door slightly, h
