WHERE ARE YOU HIDING HER?

I groaned, my forehead pressing against my desk as I stared at the mountain of paperwork still left to do."Why is this happening to me?" I mumbled into the wooden surface. "Why am I suffering? What did I ever do to deserve this?"I peeked up at the pile, hoping it had magically shrunk while I was wallowing in self-pity.It had reduced—a lot, actually. I was almost halfway through. But was that supposed to be comforting? No. No, it was not. Because it was 5:58 PM, and I was still here.The office was getting quieter. People were packing up. Going home. Living their best lives. Meanwhile, I was stuck here, drowning in mind-numbing reports.I sighed and leaned back in my chair, running a hand through my hair.There was no way I could keep going.Lily always left by 3 PM, which meant I needed to get home to check on Grandpa and Suzu. I had responsibilities. A life. A three-legged puppy waiting for me.If I left now and came back really early tomorrow, Creed wouldn’t notice, right?I mean

A NEON HAZE

Creed’s POVI leaned back in my chair, fingers pinching the bridge of my nose as I replayed the events of the day.That ridiculous outfit. That obnoxious energy. That mouth.She was a walking migraine wrapped in neon fabric, and no matter how hard I tried to ignore her, she had a way of forcing herself into my line of sight—into my thoughts.It pissed me off.I didn’t like being aware of people.I liked order. I liked predictability. I liked a well-oiled machine where everyone knew their place and did what they were supposed to do.And then she happened.Yuyu Roman wasn’t just a distraction—she was an eyesore, a glitch, a misplaced splash of color in a world that ran on monochrome efficiency.So, I did what any rational boss would do.I buried her in work.Ten months’ worth of files dumped onto her desk with a deadline that was impossible to meet.4 PM.That should’ve broken her.Or at least made her shut up for a few hours.Instead, she had the audacity to smile at me.Like I was som

EARLY MORNINGS AND UNWANTED QUESTIONS

(Yuki’s POV)Mornings sucked.Especially after the emotional wreckage that had been last night.But I wasn’t about to let that ruin my work ethic, so I dragged myself back to the office before sunrise.The only person around was Carl, the cleaner, mopping the lobby with his usual slow, methodical swipes.“Ah, look who’s here before the cock crows,” Carl mused, side-eyeing me as I strolled in. “What’s got you out of bed this early, Yuyu?”I gave him a dramatic sigh. “Oh, you know. Just my boss being the devil incarnate. He gave me ten months’ worth of files to finish in a single day.”Carl whistled. “Damn. That’s rough.”“You have no idea.”I leaned against the reception desk, waiting for the maintenance guy to finish up with the elevator. Carl continued mopping, occasionally glancing at me with amusement.“Not gonna lie, kid. You dress fancier than anyone I’ve seen at this place.”I grinned, doing a little spin to show off my outfit. “Flattery will get you everywhere, my dear Carl.”T

FIX IT WITH ROSES

Creed’s POVI watched in growing horror as Yu-Yu slumped into the chair opposite me, burying her face in her hands, and let out a heartbreaking sob. My body tensed. What the hell was I supposed to do now?I wasn’t used to this. I had no problem dealing with a screaming client or firing an incompetent employee on the spot, but a crying woman? That was a whole different battlefield—one I had never won.I opened my mouth, then closed it. I rubbed my jaw, exhaled sharply, and finally pinched the bridge of my nose. Why did I say that?I hadn’t meant to be cruel. I was just… curious. I had a habit of speaking without a filter, especially when something intrigued me. And Yu-Yu Roman intrigued me in ways I didn’t want to admit.I was about to tell her to stop crying—that it wasn’t that serious—when I suddenly remembered Lucy.My sister, Lucy, had been the toughest girl I knew. Smart. Determined. The kind of person who would argue until her face turned blue just to prove a point. But then ther

LOVING HIM BLINDLY

Yuki's pov Eric leaned back against my bedroom door, arms crossed, that same cocky smirk plastered on his annoyingly perfect face. "I don't understand why you're so angry with me. You should be happy, rolling on the ground, barking like my little puppy, happy to see its owner."I rolled my eyes so hard I was surprised they didn’t fall out of my head. "Right, I should be really glad and happy to see my boyfriend—who went on a trip I couldn’t afford anyway, knowing how much I wanted to go there—and despite all of that, managed not to give me a single fucking phone call over the two weeks he was there. And when I finally called you, you were apparently busy. That’s really fucked up, Eric, even for you."Eric let out an exaggerated sigh, stepping forward, hands finding my shoulders. He started kneading the tension there, his touch irritatingly familiar. "Okay, baby, look, I’m sorry. Let Daddy make it up to you."I jerked away, swatting his hands off. "I don’t want you to touch me. Get of

TRAFFIC LIGHTS STATEMENT

Yuki's POVFriday arrived, and I was ecstatic.I strutted into the office with the confidence of a deity descending upon mere mortals. My bright yellow pantsuit shines like the sun itself, paired perfectly with my black turtleneck. My mother’s old bra—stuffed just enough to give the illusion of a feminine figure—rests snugly beneath my top. I had debated wearing it for a good twenty minutes this morning, staring at my reflection, wondering if it was too much. But the turtleneck made my chest look impossibly flat, and any woman, no matter how small, would at least have something.“I never thought you’d still be saving me in your sleep, Mama,” I whisper, adjusting the fit one last time before leaving. “But just so you know, you slay regardless.”Suzu barks, cocking his head at me in confusion.“Don’t worry, Suu-doll, it’s still your pops, Yuki. I just look a little more like a god than I usually do.”When I step into the office, heads turn. Compliments rain down on me from every angle li

DON'T SAY PLEASE

Creed’s POVZara stormed into my office like a hurricane, her eyes red-rimmed, her mismatched buttons a clear sign of how hastily she had dressed. My entire body tensed. I had seen her like this before—too many times to count. And it never ended well.“You—You complete and utter bastard,” she spat, her voice thick with emotion, trembling with fury.I barely had a second to register her words before she was on me, shoving her hands against my chest, fists clenched like she was moments away from breaking apart. Her body shook as she hit me, over and over, with nothing more than weak, desperate strikes.“Why, Creed? Why don’t you love me?”“Zara—”“Why are you letting him do this to me?” she choked out, her voice cracking mid-sentence.My stomach twisted. I grabbed her wrists, gently, trying to still her trembling hands. “Zara, are you taking Molly again?”Her breath hitched, and for a split second, a flicker of guilt crossed her face before she masked it with anger. She yanked her arms

THE THORN IN HIS SLIDE

Yuki’s POVI practically drag my feet into Creed X Technologies, leaving behind a trail of pure misery.No one—literally no one—should be forced to come to work this early on a weekend. It’s inhumane.But, of course, here I am. The universe’s favorite punching bag.Maybe that’s why I didn’t even bother dressing up today—just a cropped hoodie, sweatpants, and my busted old Nikes. I looked like I had given up on life. And honestly? I had.When I push open the glass doors, the silence is deafening.The normally chaotic office is completely empty.Lucky bastards.I stomp straight to my desk and boot up my computer, forcing myself to focus. If I have to be here, I might as well crush my workload and get ahead.For the first two hours, I’m actually productive.And then—Boredom sets in.I slump back in my chair with a dramatic groan, glaring at my screen like it just personally betrayed me. My fingers ache from typing. My brain aches from thinking. I check my phone, praying hours have passe

THE DEVIL AND THE DATE

Yuki’s POVBy the time I make it home, I feel like I’ve been dragged through the depths of hell.The cold night air does little to soothe me—if anything, it just reminds me how exhausted I am. My feet ache, my body feels drained, and my brain?Fried.I unlock the door and step inside, already craving my bed—but the sight before me makes me perk up instantly."LILY!" I shriek, sprinting toward her.She barely has time to react before I launch myself at her, wrapping her in a tight bear hug and squishing her tiny frame against me."Oh my God, Yuki—" she wheezes. "You’re going to kill me!""Let me enjoy human contact a little bit," I whine, nuzzling into her shoulder. "I have never been more drained in my entire life. Good call on telling me to wear the wig today—I would’ve definitely gotten busted for sure."Lily pries herself out of my grip, rubbing her ribs dramatically. "Yuyu, I keep telling you, one day you're gonna crush me to death and my ghost will haunt your overly dramatic ass.

THE SLAY-DAY

Yuki’s POVI wake up feeling invincible.Maybe it’s the leftover endorphins from the weekend. Maybe it’s the fact that I had an amazing time and got thoroughly wrecked. Maybe it’s the sheer joy of being alive, of waking up and choosing violence (in the form of a rhinestone-covered dress).Whatever it is, today feels like a slay-day.I stretch out, limbs loose, body light, and roll over to find Suzu still curled up on my bed. My little three-legged princess is snoring softly, her tiny belly rising and falling with each breath.“Hey, Suu,” I murmur, stroking her fur, I'm going to get ready,are you going to miss me?”She stirs, letting out a tiny yawn before opening her eyes and barking excitedly.I laugh, lifting her up and pressing a loud, smacking kiss to the top of her head.“Yeah, I bet you are,” I say, setting her down before stretching again.Time to get ready.---My outfit is a statement.Rhinestone-covered short dress, chunky boots, and a shimmering aura of confidence. My wig i
