Friends

Before she could respond, the door swung open, and Vinni strode in, her presence commanding the room. “Sorry I’m late,” she said, her tone breezy but her eyes sharp as they landed on Hunter. “Traffic was a nightmare.” Hunter’s smirk faltered for a moment, his eyes narrowing as he recognized Vinni. “Vinni. What a pleasant surprise.” Vinni flashed him a saccharine smile as she took a seat next to Evelyn. “Likewise, Hunter. It’s been a while. Still causing trouble, I see?” Hunter’s jaw tightened, but he quickly recovered, his smirk returning. “Just doing business, Vinni. Nothing personal.” Vinni leaned forward, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Of course not. Because you’re all about helping others, aren’t you?” Evelyn placed a hand on Vinni’s arm, a silent plea to keep the peace. She turned back to Hunter, her tone firm. “Hunter, while we appreciate your offer, we’ll need time to review the terms of your investment. StarLink is in a delicate position, and we need to ensure that any p

Dirty secrets

Sophia sat in her lavish house, surrounded by wedding magazines, fabric swatches, and a mountain of invitations. The wedding preparations were in full swing, and she was determined to make it the most extravagant event of the year. Hunter might not be the most affectionate fiancé, but he was wealthy, powerful, and exactly the kind of man she needed to secure her future. She had worked too hard to let anything—or anyone—ruin this for her.As she flipped through a catalog of designer gowns, her phone buzzed on the table. She glanced at the screen, her heart sinking as she saw the name: Jake. Her ex-boyfriend. The man she had tried so hard to leave behind. She hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone, her fingers trembling slightly as she opened the text."Sophia, we need to talk. Meet me at the old warehouse on 5th Street. Bring $50,000 in cash. If you don’t show up, I’ll pay a visit to your new rich boyfriend and tell him all about us. You don’t want that, do you?"Sophia’s s

Plannings of wedding

Evelyn sat in her office, the proposal from Blackwood Enterprises spread out on her desk. Vinni stood beside her, arms crossed, her sharp eyes scanning the document with a critical gaze. The two women had been poring over the details for hours, dissecting every clause and condition. While the investment offer was substantial, there were several terms that didn’t sit well with them—terms that felt overly controlling or invasive, as if Hunter were trying to insert himself into every aspect of StarLink’s operations.“This is ridiculous,” Vinni said, tapping a finger on one of the clauses. “He wants a seat on the board? And veto power over major decisions? Who does he think he is?”Evelyn sighed, leaning back in her chair. “He’s trying to assert control, Vinni. That’s what Hunter does. He doesn’t just invest—he takes over.”Vinni snorted, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Yeah, because that worked out so well for him last time. Didn’t he learn his lesson after what happened with your fath

He only wants to see you

Evelyn and Vinni stepped into the sleek, modern lobby of Blackwood Enterprises, the towering glass building a stark reminder of Hunter’s wealth and influence. The sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows reflected off the polished marble floors, casting a cold, sterile glow. Evelyn’s heels clicked sharply against the surface, each step echoing her growing unease. Vinni, walking beside her, adjusted the strap of her leather bag, her dark eyes scanning the room with a mix of curiosity and suspicion. The air was thick with the scent of expensive cologne and freshly brewed coffee, but it did little to ease the tension building in Evelyn’s chest.The receptionist, a polished young woman with a practiced smile, greeted them politely. Her perfectly manicured nails tapped lightly on the keyboard as she looked up, her expression as smooth and unreadable as the glass walls surrounding them.“Good morning. How may I assist you?” she asked, her tone professional but devoid of warmt

Miss CEO is alluring

Evelyn forced a polite nod, her tone cool and professional, though her pulse quickened at the sound of his voice. “Hunter. Let’s get straight to the point, shall we? We’ve reviewed your proposal, and there are a few terms we’d like to discuss.”Hunter leaned back in his chair, his smirk widening as he studied her with an intensity that made her skin crawl. “Of course. But before we get into that, I have to say—I’m impressed. CEO of StarLink. You’ve come a long way since the last time we saw each other.”Evelyn’s jaw tightened, but she refused to rise to his bait. She could feel the weight of his gaze, the way his eyes lingered on her face, her clothes, her posture. It was as if he were trying to dissect her, to find the cracks in her armor. She wouldn’t give him the satisfaction.“Thank you,” she said, her voice steady despite the storm of emotions raging inside her. “Now, about the proposal—”Hunter cut her off, his tone casual but with an edge of challenge. “Why the rush, Evelyn? We

His condition

Evelyn stood in Hunter’s office, her arms crossed and her expression a mix of frustration and disbelief. She had just finished explaining the changes she wanted to make to the proposal, and now Hunter was throwing a curveball at her. His condition was outrageous, and she couldn’t believe he had the audacity to even suggest it.“Let me get this straight,” Evelyn said, her voice sharp and incredulous. “Your condition for agreeing to the changes is that I have to visit your grandmother and pretend we’re still married? Are you serious?”Hunter leaned back in his chair, his expression calm but with a hint of smugness. “Dead serious. Grandma just got out of the hospital, and it’s because of you.”Evelyn’s eyes widened, her anger momentarily replaced by guilt. “What are you talking about? How is it because of me?”Hunter’s tone softened slightly, though his gaze remained steady. “When she found out about the divorce, she was devastated. She had a stroke, Evelyn. She’s been in and out of the

He's playing you

As they walked out of the building, Evelyn’s mind was already racing with plans. She had a role to play, and she wasn’t about to let Hunter Blackwood stand in her way. No matter what it took, she would protect StarLink—and herself—from his games.Evelyn and Vinni walked back to their apartment, the weight of the day’s events still heavy on Evelyn’s shoulders. As they approached the building, they were surprised to see Edwin standing outside, leaning casually against his car. He was dressed impeccably, as always, in a tailored suit that screamed sophistication. His presence was both a comfort and a complication, given the whirlwind of emotions Evelyn was already dealing with.“Edwin?” Evelyn said, her voice tinged with surprise. “What are you doing here?”Edwin straightened up, a warm smile spreading across his face as he approached them. “Evelyn, Vinni. I was in the area for an event and thought I’d stop by. It’s been a while since we caught up.”Vinni raised an eyebrow, her tone teas

Relax, its just one night

Chapter 28The sound of a car horn outside made Evelyn’s stomach clench. She took a deep breath, smoothing down the fabric of her dress before grabbing her purse. As she stepped outside, Hunter Blackwood leaned against the sleek black car, his expression unreadable beneath the glow of the streetlights. “Right on time,” he said, his voice laced with amusement. Evelyn rolled her eyes as she approached. “I didn’t want to give you the satisfaction of thinking I was dreading this.” Hunter smirked, opening the car door for her. “You wound me, darling. I was hoping you’d be at least a little excited.” “Let’s just get this over with,” she muttered, sliding into the passenger seat. As Hunter started driving, the tension between them filled the space. Evelyn kept her gaze fixed on the road ahead, ignoring the way he stole glances at her. “I can’t believe we’re doing this,” she finally muttered. “You’re the one who agreed,” Hunter shot back. “I agreed for your grandmother’s sake,

One more night?

Evelyn barely slept.Every time she drifted off, she’d wake to the weight of memories pressing down on her. The familiar scent of Hunter’s cologne mixed with the warm cedarwood of his skin made her chest feel tight.She hated that even now—after everything—his presence still had an effect on her.When the soft glow of dawn filtered through the lace curtains, Evelyn decided she had had enough. Carefully, she slipped out of bed, making sure not to disturb Hunter. He lay on his back, one arm flung across the pillow, his bare chest rising and falling steadily.For a moment, she just looked at him.It wasn’t fair. That he could sleep so soundly while she was drowning in emotions she didn’t want to feel.Shaking off the thought, she grabbed a robe and tiptoed out of the room.The kitchen was warm, filled with the scent of freshly brewed coffee and something sweet. Evelyn found Grandma Blackwood at the stove, humming softly as she flipped pancakes.“Good morning, sweetheart,” she said, smili

Lets share a bed

Evelyn lay stiffly on the couch, staring at the ceiling. The dim glow of the moon cast soft shadows across the room, but it did nothing to ease the restlessness buzzing under her skin. Her mind was a whirlwind of emotions—anger, frustration, and something else she couldn’t quite name. Something that made her chest ache and her throat tighten.She could still hear Hunter moving around in the bedroom, could picture him sprawled across the bed like he belonged there, like he owned the space—like he owned her. The thought made her jaw clench. *No. He doesn’t get to affect me anymore.* But that was a lie, wasn’t it? Because no matter how much she wanted to deny it, the past still lingered between them, thick and suffocating. It was in the way he looked at her, the way his voice carried that familiar teasing edge, the way his presence seemed to fill every room he entered. It was in the memories she couldn’t escape, no matter how hard she tried.She turned onto her side, pressing the pillow
