Chapter 71

Ezra’s POV The ride home was a blur of city lights and nausea. I could barely keep my eyes open, and when I did, all I saw were flashes of headlights cutting through the night and the blurry vision of Alex’s men sitting stiffly in the front seats. One of them kept glancing at me through the rearview mirror like I was some ticking bomb that might go off, maybe I was. I didn’t say a word though—I didn’t have the strength. My head leaned against the cold glass of the window, and every thud of my heart echoed like a drum in my skull. The whiskey burnt through my veins, numbing me yet somehow magnifying everything I wanted to forget. And then her face slipped into my mind. Ava. Like she always did. It was almost cruel, the way my drunk brain latched onto her. The way her smile could light up the darkest r

Chapter 72

Ava’s povWe sat in the living room in silence. No one made a move. Mostly because I was scared. Ezra had just confessed his feelings to me. I sat there reliving the incident over and over again. He laid on the couch, passed out. My eyes moved to his sleeping form. Damn! He was handsome. I should be the happiest person right now but why wasn't I happy. What was wrong? Did I feel the same as he did? Yes. so why was I not….Ezra moved a little with some words coming out of his lips. I leaned in close, to get ehatbhe was saying.“Ava, please…..” I pushed back. I couldn't believe this. Ezra was the playboy kind. He had constantly told me that there can be nothing between us, especially since he was my brother’s best friend.This scene was just giving me Deja vu. This wa

Chapter 73

Ezra’s POVHer lips were soft against mine, hesitant at first, but then she melted into me. That one kiss, God, it was everything I had been holding back for weeks. All the nights I told myself she was off-limits, all the moments I tried to pretend I didn’t want her, all the times I pushed her away just to keep my own damn conscience intact… it all came rushing out in that single, desperate kiss.When she kissed me back, it felt like the world finally tilted into place.I slid my hand up to her cheek, cupping it gently, terrified she’d pull away but she didn’t. She leaned closer, her fingers fisting in my shirt like she was afraid I’d vanish if she let go. My heart hammered so hard I was sure she could feel it.Her taste was sweet, intoxicating, and I wanted more but I forced myself to slow down, to savor the way her lips moved with mine. This wasn’t about lust, not this time. This was everything I

Chapter 74

Emily’s povIt was another Monday again. Another day to face the storm which I call life. I knew I was already hated at the fucking office but being painted as the jealous sister who has a boring life wasn't part of my plan.I guess it was their plan, anyway. As I stepped into the company, everyone froze. All eyes turned to me. Thank God I wore sunglasses.My black heels clicked on the floor, echoing loudly.“I told you she would come into work.”“If I had that power, I would not come.”“It's not like she could get fired.”I paused in front of the two girls who were giggling and making side notes. Taking off my glasses, my eyes landed on them. They returned the favor and glared right back at me.I guess the hate is mutual.I looked around and my eyes landed on Lydia. She stood at the far end of

Chapter 75

Emily’s povForgiveness.The word sat in my chest like a stone, heavy and unmovable.I wasn’t sure when Alex had become the kind of man who could make me cry at work, but here we were. I wiped at my damp cheeks again, pressing the handkerchief he had given me against my skin as if it could erase not just the tears, but the ache they came from.He was still crouched in front of me, close enough that I could see the faint shadow of stubble on his jaw and the small crease between his brows that appeared whenever he was serious. This was a version of Alex I had rarely seen, stripped of arrogance, stripped of smug confidence.I didn’t trust it but damn, I wanted to.“You’ve got a way of ruining Mondays,” I finally whispered, trying to lighten the weight in the room.His lips quivered, the ghost of a smirk threatening to return, but he swallowed it down. “I’ll take that as progress. At least you’re not tell

Chapter 76

Alex’s POVThe office was quiet long after the sun had set, the kind of quiet that pressed against your ears and made even the hum of the air conditioner sound loud. Everyone had gone home hours ago, but I stayed behind to do some work but now I just sat down, staring at the city lights through the glass. The city glittered in its usual arrogance, a thousand windows lit like stars, but tonight it all felt quiet.It was muted because of her.Emily.I dragged a hand over my face and leaned back in the leather chair, the weight of her voice still echoing in my head. “Forgiveness isn’t a one-time thing. It’s a process.”She had said it with that quiet, resolute strength I’d always admired but never admitted to myself. That strength was one of the first things that had caught my attention about her, back before everything spiraled, back before I let her down in ways I shouldn’t have.I apologi

Chapter 77

Alex Pov The quietness followed me to my penthouse. It always was quiet, but tonight the silence seemed sharper, like the echo of my own thoughts was bouncing off the walls. Usually, I loved the stillness of this place, the glass walls that gave me a view of the city stretched out below, the minimal lines of expensive furniture that no one else ever touched, the clean order of it all but tonight, the order didn’t soothe me. I had taken a shower, pulled on a fresh shirt, even poured myself another glass of scotch, but none of it helped. Sleep wasn’t coming easily, not with Emily running through my mind like she had been since the office. The whole forgiveness process had me on edge. Her words kept repeating, threading themselves into every thought until they formed something I couldn’t ignore.

Chapter 78

Emily’s povSleep didn’t come easily.Even after I placed my phone face down on the nightstand and whispered “goodnight” to Alex, my mind refused to rest. His words replayed in my head like a song on repeat, each one pushing against the threads of my thoughts until the silence of my apartment felt too loud, too heavy.I turned on my side, pulling the blanket up around my shoulders. My cat, Luna, was curled at my feet, her steady purr the only real comfort but even she couldn’t keep me from remembering the sharp twist in my chest when Alex asked if books felt “safer” than him.He hadn’t meant it lightly, I could tell and I hadn’t answered lightly either.Safer.Yes, books were safer. Stories never hurt you. They ended where they were supposed to. Characters didn’t betray you with broken promises or cold silences. Pages didn’t leave scars but Alex? He was the opposite of safe. He was chaos wrapped in control, temptation disguised as sharp suits and colder words.And yet…I rolled o

Chapter 79

Emily’s povBy the time evening rolled around, I was exhausted, but not from work, from him. I was tired of the constant battle between wanting to push him away and wanting to fall into the dangerous pull he seemed to have over me.When I finally returned home, the city lights were already twinkling against the dark sky. I set my bag down, kicked off my heels, and collapsed onto the couch. Luna jumped up beside me, curling into a warm ball, purring as if sensing my turmoil.Realizing I hadn't seen Ava around for a while now and reminding myself to check up on her. I stared at the ceiling, phone heavy in my hand. His message still sat open, the last words we exchanged glowing back at me.Alex: Have you thought about Me : I have.Alex: And?Me: I will let you know in the morning.Well, morning had come and gone, and I still hadn’t given him an answer.I bit my lip, nerves fluttering like restless wings in my chest. Dinner wasn’t just dinner. It was stepping closer to him instead o

Chapter 80

Alex’s PovThe dinner was going…..well. That’s one way to put it. I could see how she resisted putting in her all.She doesn't even want to be here.“And who am I?” I asked herShe hesitated, looking into my eyes. “A man who doesn’t take no for an answer.”I smirked. “Maybe I just don’t want your no.”She froze with her drink in her hands, her head bent, as she blushed hard.“When did you turn to a flirt?” “Am I?” I asked her, while she stirred her drink. Her eyes looked at me so seductively. She licked her lips and that action alone did a lot to me that she doesn't know. I wanted to be the one to do that.“Let’s order…..” she said, shying away from the question.“Yeah, let's order. Waiter!” The waiter came and we made our order. Emily ordered something simple, I also did. The waiter was gone and then came the quiet awkwardness. “So, what is going on with you? I haven't seen you and Ava around.” I tried to kill the tension.“Ava? Oh, yeah. She has been around but truly, I hadn't s
