Nathan
I walked into my parents’ house after dropping Lyra at her house a little after 9.
I texted my brother Luke on the way, telling him to meet me here urgently as certain things needed to be done tonight. Didn’t know that things would take a turn after Brian walked into my office. I was myself. When I was, his eyes were fizzling with anger that gave me a demonic pleasure. I was messing with his head and business for a long time now, did everything in my power to ruin his reputation and the company that he built with his blood, sweat, and tears. And trust me, I was having a crap load of fun by messing with him.
I was ready to fight, but something told me from the inside to play cool the situation to see where provocation took Brian, as expected, this hot-headed man was a failure. I wanted to give him the good news about Lyra being here, in the bathroom exactly a door away from us, but it was already full of spitefulness. The reason behind

The day was restless, while the night was getting hard to pass. Tonight I barely slept. I was turning left and right all night after coming home from my parents’ house. The smell of Lyra’s shampoo was on my pillow, and that was turning me on and making things worse for me. The sweet coconut and vanilla aroma of her hair took me back to the time when I was standing close to her in the living room and her perfume hit my nose.The way she was in bed a few hours ago. Peaceful, deep in sleep, just like a kid, it was a delight to watch. I saw her when she inhaled oxygen, her chest raised, the rhythm of her even breath, her auburn, long hair all over my pillow. It was hard sleeping on that bed of mine without imagining her. She was everywhere and was messing with my head.So, I gave up the bed around 2:30 and went on to sleep on the couch in my living room.Lyra was the reason for the pain in my neck, which made my neck stiff and my f

Tonight was the longest and most nerve-racking night I had ever spent in my life. I couldn’t fathom the lie I told yesterday to Brian at Nathan’s office, and here we were finalizing the date of our engagement.After Brian left, Nathan’s office suddenly without saying anything to me, I was a mess. My heart got flustered and was on the edge all night. I couldn’t think of anything straight. All of a sudden, my world swirled, and the ground touched me with a thud. Everything in front of my eyes turned black as I lost my vision of horror.“You betrayed your family just as your mother did.” My brain screamed at me. A cruel laugh tinkled in my ears. The ugly noise of the laugh was excruciating. I covered my ears with both of my hands to block the buzzing sound that was getting louder, shut my eyes closed tightly, tears fell on my cheeks, and my body started trembling painfully.I hated to see myself in this sta

I did not know what I was going to do with the information that Viola provided me just now. Why would she do that? The answer was forthright. That was what she had done since childhood. She took away things that I liked. If anything or a person made me happy, she did her best to snatch that away from me, and right at this moment, that was what she was doing.The way she fixed her eyes on Nathan, the sultry smile, slow, lazy talk, she was flirting with my future husband right in front of me, and like a fool, I was watching all this.For as long as I remembered, Viola only said bad things about Nathan. Whenever she opened her mouth regarding Nathan, she said dreadful stuff about him to Owen, Brian, and dada, or whoever she talked to. If anything, she never mentioned this childhood kiss or any of her memories regarding Nathan that she was talking about now. The way she judged Nathan, and the Halls, was enough to confirm that she didn’t see him

“Are you okay?” Luke asked me after our morning meeting with the marketing team.“Yeah.” I picked up the file and left the conference room, Luke following.“You don’t look okay.” He came in front of me and stopped me from running away from his interrogation, which I intended to do.I wasn’t in the mood for anything. After last night’s dispute between me and Lyra, I was frustrated. I was a patient man; had no idea waiting for her or gave her the time she needed for adjusting to all this. I was okay with everything, but when she bought her brother, I didn’t get that.If it were about us, then she and I would be the ones making decisions. It was our personal stuff that we dealt with the way we wanted or preferred. Why were we involved in a third person here? She was an adult, independent, educated woman, enough capable to do what her heart says.I got everything—s

This man was impossible to understand. His unpredictable mouth was another delinquent. He spoke his mind that was rare in a man, or maybe the kind of man I saw in my twenty-three years of life. He was different from all of them.My family’s men were mostly quiet. They only opened their mouths if that was important or needed, if not, they loved to stay mute. Brian, Owen, dada, uncle Josh all are like this, the serious kind of human being, although that may be wrong about Owen. He was the Joker of our family, but in the end, he was a McCoy, so, yeah; he had that curtain of seriousness in his prankster nature.Other few whom I dated over the years or ago, all of them were quite vigilant around me, even Brad, too. They tried too hard to be a gentleman, kept their guard high all the time, and that was frustrating. Sometimes I wondered if what I was doing with those men was romantic in nature, or was it just for a show?I didn’t get

I tried to move the upper part of my body to sleep, strangely; it didn’t move a finger, tried again, and failed. It was outlandish, but when I took the third attempt, a heavyweight rock pulled me in. I frowned, and my finger found its way to the rock naturally as I gently poked the unpliable or something like that. Something moved a little, and that shot my eyes open in fear.The ray of the sun came into my eyes directly, and it all felt wrong. If this were my bedroom, then the curtain should have covered the window. No one came into my room early in the morning, it was a rule that I liked to follow. In the morning I liked to spend at least half an hour by myself quietly, otherwise, I would stay cranky the rest of the day.In this one hour I do all my personal stuff, yoga, dancing to music, writing a j

Nathan put the ring on my finger at the lavish engagement party that was arranged by our families. Owen and Luke were busy all week for this party. They were constantly in touch with calls and texts, even met outside for coffee and dinner. It was a delight to see both of them friendly and not after their lives. I knew my brother was happy to go any further for my happiness, and that he did, which I was thankful for.We organized the party in a VIP hotel; booked the entire place, and invited all the people around Chicago to this party tonight. Luke and Owen went overboard with the invitation. Business associates, politicians, celebrities graced their presence at our party. There were at least thousands of guests whom I didn’t recognize, but Nathan was familiar with everyone. Every time someone came to congratulate him, he shook his hand with them and talked to them, smiling, and all of them had a story with him. Every single one I came across in th

Something distracted Lyra during the entire party after she came back from the bathroom. Penelope and she were together when they were gone, and now she lingered around Lyra almost all the time as the evening continued, but there was a noticeable change in both of them. The way they both were gazing at one another from the corner of their eyes every few seconds, the shaky smile, frequent lips licking was weird and suspicious. It was clear they were hiding something important which I wanted to know but didn’t pressure.Every time our bare skin came into contact, she went stiff or removed my hand from her body skillfully. She was uncomfortable, which didn’t sit well with me, given the fact a few hours ago we were in one another’s arms on the dance floor. Sometimes she would nudge a little, so my hands would fall from her hand, or sometimes simply she would discard her from my touch.I had yet to understand this sudden change of be
