A stranger from his past

~JESSICA~The next morning came too quickly.I hadn’t slept well…not because the bed was uncomfortable, but because he was there. Just inches away. Breathing. Existing. Making my heart do gymnastics in the dark.When I finally dragged myself out of bed, Daniel was gone. The space beside me was cold, the sheets untouched except for the place he laid before we both turned away from each other like teenagers scared of their feelings.A small note was left on the nightstand."Went for a quick meeting with the board directors. Will be back by noon. Don’t cause trouble. – Daniel."I smiled, rolling my eyes. Typical Daniel. Even in notes, he was a walking contradiction….distant, sarcastic, yet oddly thoughtful.I grabbed my phone and texted Clara back like I promised. Me: “Your nightwear almost killed a man last night. Hope you’re happy.”She replied instantly.Clara: “ONLY ALMOST? You’re slacking.”I rolled my eyes, then stood up from the bed to dress the bed.After

Daniel fell sick

~JESSICA~Daniel tossed around restlessly on the bed. We're about to sleep but he kept tossing around restlessly on the bed.I could tell he was worrying about something. And I knew it was because of the call he had received earlier.“Daniel, are you okay?” I asked.“Yeah. I'm fine” he replied. “I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you from sleeping.”And with that, he stood up, walked to the table and poured himself a drink from the alcoholic wine on the table and went to sit on the couch in the room.I stared at him for a long while before I finally closed my eyes, forcing myself to sleep.Whenever he feels fine, he would come back to the bed.****I woke up to silence and an empty bed. That was the first sign something was wrong.No faint sound of running water. No sarcastic one-liner from Daniel. No soft buzz of his phone.Just… silence.I sat up and rubbed my eyes, expecting him to be out for another early morning meeting. But then I heard it…a soft, guttural sound.

An intimate moment

~JESSICA~Did Daniel Sutherland just kiss me??My breath hitched.His lips were soft…warm, tentative, lingering just long enough to send my heart crashing against my ribcage like it was trying to escape.By the time my senses caught up with the moment, he was already pulling back.Our eyes met. And for the first time since I’d met him, Daniel looked… scared.Not the kind of fear you show when you’re caught doing something wrong. No. This was deeper. Raw. Vulnerable.“I'm sorry,” he whispered, his voice rough but no longer fever-weak. “I shouldn’t have done that.”I couldn’t speak at first.I just… stared at him, processing everything.The kiss. The fever. The broken past he barely let me glimpse. The truth behind his walls.And now this….his lips on mine and the frantic beat of my heart that had no intention of slowing down.“You kissed me,” I finally said, more to ground myself than accuse.“I know,” he said, brushing a hand through his messy hair. “I just

Passionate love making

~JESSICA~“Say no more. Do whatever you want to do with me. I'm all yours now” I declared.He sealed my declaration with a fiery kiss.I fumbly unbuttoned the buttons on his shirt and removed the shirt from him. He's now bare chested and I was finally able to run my fingers up and down his sexy, muscular chest.Something I've always wanted to do since I discovered my feelings for him.I played with the few hairs on his chest, traced everything in his chest with my fingers, traced his neck, shoulders, arms, ribs, stomach. I was registering the structure of his upper body with my fingers and saving it in my head.And when I played with his nipples with my fingers, he moaned softly for the first time.His fingers trailed down my stomach and down to the lower part of my body.He pulled my jeans down and pulled it off my legs and threw it to the floor.My sexy black panties were visible to his eyes and I inwardly thanked myself for putting on sexy black pants. I

Still a Virgin

~JESSICA~ “I'm still a virgin!!!” I shrieked and quickly sat up on the bed, watching the surprised, shocked, bewildered look on his face.“What…. what did you just say??” He stammered, still staring at me in shock.“I said I'm still a virgin” I repeated shyly.“The fuck! You never told me” he swore loudly.“You never asked. It's not something I go around saying because I'm not proud that I'm still a virgin at this age” I replied.“How old are you??” he asked.I looked down, suddenly shy.“I'm twenty four”“Twenty four and you're still a virgin? Woww!” He exclaimed.“You're the first man to ever touch me. The first man I ever kissed. The first man to see me fully naked. No man has seen me fully naked before. You're the first” I confided in him.Now, the look on his face changed from surprise and shock to pride.“I never knew about this,” he said. “Why did you make me the first?”“I don't even know why. I'm still surprised. Maybe because this whole wife t

Back to his cold mean self

~DANIEL~I watched her sleep, tucked into my arms like she belonged there.Her lashes rested gently on her flushed cheeks, her lips slightly parted, still swollen from our kisses. She looked peaceful…too peaceful for someone who had just given away something so important.I should’ve felt triumphant. Men like me usually do. But all I felt was a gnawing ache in my chest.I wasn’t supposed to care this much.I wasn’t supposed to hold her like this… after.I wasn’t supposed to feel this much.But I did.And that scared the hell out of me.I reached over to brush a strand of hair from her face, my fingers lingering longer than necessary. She stirred slightly, and I froze, half-hoping she’d open her eyes and half-hoping she wouldn’t.What the fuck am I doing?This was supposed to be fake. A contract. An arrangement. A show for the public, for the board, for everyone who wanted to see me tied down.But last night? That wasn’t fake.That was real. Too real.And I could already feel the con

Arrival at Middlesbrough

~DANIEL~The rain was already falling by the time the driver turned off the A66 and entered the heart of Middlesbrough.The company had sent me off in a sleek black BMW, the kind that whispered wealth even when parked. And they had given me a driver. One that's familiar with Middlesbrough. I sat at the back seat with Jessica, while watching the driver behind the wheel, one hand resting casually at twelve o'clock, the other gripping the leather gearshift like it grounded him. I watched as he drove us toward the apartment they’d arranged…a three-bedroom flat not far from the development site.As the driver drove through the streets, and because Jessica was so quiet beside me, I couldn't help but take in my surroundings.The sky over Middlesbrough was a flat grey sheet, the kind that made even noon feel like early dusk. A cold wind blew in from the River Tees, biting through clothes, sharp with the metallic tang of distant industry. The chemical works and

Another wife???

~JESSICA~ Daniel stood there, hands in his pockets, his shirt damp at the shoulders from earlier rain.He's still staring at me and I stared back, making a mental resolve not to say a word to him first.And when I was tired of staring for long, I looked away.“You okay?” he finally said.I looked up, trying not to show the weight sitting behind my ribs. “You keep asking me that.”His lips twitched. “Because you keep looking like you’re about to bolt.”I forced a small smile, dropping my gaze. “I’m just… adjusting. One moment I’m dodging corporate lawsuits and avoiding your glares in America, next I’m living in a river-view penthouse in the North of England pretending to be your wife” I said.Daniel leaned against the frame, arms crossed. “Not quite how I pictured my career shift either.”“Is this how you normally start new postings? With a cook, a driver, and a maid and a fake bride?” I asked.His brows lifted, but he didn’t answer.Kareem’s voice floated in fr

The other wife

~DANIEL~ The beep of my phone made my eyes flutter open immediately.I was about to sleep with disturbing thoughts of Jessica on my mind when my phone beeped.I checked and saw a text message notification.Could it be from Jessica??I have been ignoring her after that night at the hotel and she's aware about it.I was trying to protect myself….and her.I opened the text message and froze when I read the contents of the text.“Heard you're at Middlesbrough. Since you don't want to come to me, I'll come to you instead. Expect me as soon as possible, love.” It was from Crystal.How did she know my exact location??Was she tracking me down??If she's really at Middlesbrough then she'll really come to see me.I got off my bed, suddenly panicking.I didn't want to see her.I didn't trust myself enough to see her again.I don't think I've healed enough to meet with her again.I picked up my phone and replied her text.“I don't want to see you, Crysta

Ghosts of the past

~DANIEL~I stood there in the silence Jessica left behind, her footsteps echoing like thunder in my ears.She was crying. I knew it.And I let her walk away.“Nice work,” I muttered under my breath, turning to Crystal.She didn’t even flinch. She was too busy inspecting her perfect nails like she hadn’t just dropped a bomb in the middle of my life.“I didn’t come here to be your enemy, Daniel,” she said softly, brushing a blonde curl behind her ear. “I came here because I missed you. Because… you still matter to me.”“Bullshit,” I snapped, my voice rising despite myself. “You came here because you hate losing. You saw me moving on, and suddenly, you remembered you ‘miss me’?”Her lips curved into a smirk. “So, you admit you’re moving on?”I exhaled harshly. “I’m trying to. But you…God, Crystal….you don’t care who you destroy as long as you get what you want.”She stepped closer again, and this time, I didn’t step back. I was done playing the polite card.“I
