MIA’S POVThe realization of how deeply Alexander has invaded my thoughts sends a feeling I can’t describe through my entire body. My skin feels hot and my chest tight. It’s as if just the thought of him has power over me, leaving me unsettled and distracted. I still haven’t answered James’s question about Alexander but that’s not what bothers me most. It’s the suffocating feeling of emotions I can’t control.It feels as if the walls are closing in on me and I have no idea why. I feel all heated up inside.I need to leave here, if only for a moment. I need to breathe“I’ll be back in a few minutes,” I say abruptly, standing from the table.James looks up at me in concern “Are you okay?”I force a small smile “Yeah, I just need a moment.”Without waiting for his response, I walk toward the restrooms. The air feels cooler here, but it’s not enough to clear my head. I push open the bathroom door and step inside, letting out a long, shaky breath as I lean against the sink.I stare at my

ALEXANDER’S POVEarlier this evening, I stop by a small flower shop on the way to Mia's office. The scent of roses and lilies fills the air as I pick out a bouquet of her favorite flowers—soft pink roses and white baby's breath. I’ve never bought her flowers before, but something about today feels different. Maybe it’s the constant ache in my chest every time I think of her. Or maybe it’s the way she’s always on my mind, no matter how hard I try to focus on anything else. I want to do something that makes her smile, something that tells her she’s special to me.By the time I reach her office building, the sun is beginning to set. I park my car and head inside with the bouquet clutched tightly in my hand. I’m nervous. It’s not like me to feel this way, but Mia has always had that effect on me. She makes me feel... alive even though I don’t like to show it.As I approach her office, I see her through the glass window. She’s moving quickly, like she’s in a hurry to grab something. Her h

MIA’S POVI start to feel hungry in my office and that’s when I remember that I skipped breakfast before stepping out of the house this morning. My schedule has been tight to the point that I didn’t have the time to get something to et. All I had was coffee, handed to me by one of the maids as I rushed out.I need to go out to eat but the idea of sitting alone at a restaurant doesn’t seem nice to me right now I grab my phone and scroll to Cynthia’s number.“Hey,” I say when she picks up.“Mia, I’m in the middle of something,” she says quickly and I can hear background noise.“I need lunch,” I say, skipping pleasantries. “Come with me?”Her pause lasts only a second before she blurts, “You should’ve started with that! Give me twenty minutes. I’ll meet you at your office!”I laugh. Food is the magic word with Cynthia.I settle back in my chair and try to focus on the notes from this morning’s meeting. But my mind keeps drifting to the kiss I had with Alexander last night. It was…unexpec

ALEXANDER’S POVI lean against the porch railing, waiting for Mia to come home. I’ve called her severally but she hasn’t picked up. She’s probably traumatized by what happened and I can’t blame her. My hands clenched into fists as I replay the driver’s earlier words in my mind. Mia was almost kidnapped. Almost.The thought alone makes my stomach twist with rage and fear. If it hadn’t been for James...I watch as James’ car pulls into the driveway. Mia steps out of the car and I sigh in relief. The fact that she’s alright is enough to stop me from going insane. Ever since the driver said those words, it felt like I had been holding my breath.The second she opens the door and steps inside, I can’t hold myself back.“Mia.” I say, walking towards her.She turns and her eyes widen with surprise as I pull her into a hug.. My arms tighten around her instinctively, and for a moment, she seems frozen before she relaxes into the embrace.“I was so worried,” I say softly “I’m so sorry that hap

MIA’S POVI spend the rest of the day with Wendy, trying to keep my mind off Alexander's coldness. When she and Alexander came home earlier, she threw her arms around me in an excited hug, babbling about her day. I smiled but my eyes wandered to Alexander. I greeted him softly, but his response is a dry cold "Hi," before he heads to his room without another word.I watch him leave. My chest tightens. No matter how much I try, I can’t shake how much his distance hurts. I like him—more than I should, probably but he doesn’t seem to feel the same way. I push the thought away. I refuse to dwell on something I can’t change.Wendy, oblivious to the hurt I’m feeling chatters excitedly about wanting ice cream."Alright," I say, ruffling her hair. "Ice cream it is."-The ice cream shop smells like heaven: sugar, vanilla, and the scent of freshly made waffle cones. Wendy practically bounces beside me. Her excitement is contagious. I laugh, watching as she looks the display case, pointing at eve
