1. All along

✓✓✓Jordan"I can't believe this, Justin. I need to talk to Billy. I need to get exactly what the fuck is going on," I said, dragging my half-dead body off the bed. The words and evidence I just saw became a still image in my head. Something got to be wrong here, that document's certainly fake."Where are you going?" Justin, my friend yelled, but I didn’t answer. I grabbed my car keys. What? No! My head is buzzing, my own brother is the reason I've been bedridden for the past three fucking years?"Jordan, you are not doing great at the moment, get out of the car, we will sort it in the morning. You want to shorten the fucking time you have left?" Justin blurted holding the steering wheel to prevent me from driving out."Pfft!" I scoffed, "Dude, I'm still gonna die right? Whether now or 12 months time as the doctor said, but I want to see my brother to understand why the hell that shit brown paper says he's fed me organ damaging drugs instead of simple migraine drugs... Do you get me

2. Second chance

Jordan"There's no one in the building except the guy monitoring the CCTV," Billy's voice began to fade now as I felt a deep sleep pulling me into darkness. I tried to force my eyes open.No! I can't… I can't die just yet. I have to tell my lawyer to remove both of them from my Will.Fuck no! Ah, is there a way to turn back time? If that isn't possible, please just keep me alive... I begged and pleaded to whoever it was that was listening. I could make a deal with the devil at this point. I can't let them win. God, no!The thick darkness swallowed me whole, but then suddenly, a tiny light appeared at the end of it. Is that heaven? So I died?Haha! What was I thinking? That life was a movie… I could wish to be saved and someone would appear just in time?I felt a dry scratch in my throat. My hand flew to my chest, waiting for the terrible pain I was used to feeling whenever I coughed. My head throbbed so hard, like it always did when the migraine kicked in. I winced as I coughed, my ot

3. Divorce

6 months later✓✓"Jordan? What the fuck do you mean by divorce... After we've been married for three freaking years with a two-year-old son, you're asking for a divorce? Why... Why? What is the problem? We've never had any issues, I've been taking care of you."Ashley continues to rant and yell, her hands flying around like she’s physically trying to swat the word ‘divorce’ out of the air. She picks up the paper I handed her a few minutes ago and stares at it like it's a joke she can laugh away. But it’s not. I’d thought long and hard about this. If I want to avoid ending up back in the same situation, if I want to survive this second chance I’ve been given, I need to make sure she’s out of my life...for good.And Billy?I'll handle him in my own damn way.I sat there on the couch in the living room, pretending to scroll through my phone like her voice wasn’t ringing in my ears. I even tried to check tomorrow’s schedule like it wasn’t the weekend. Maybe if I ignored her long enough,

4. Drunk beauty

✓✓✓JaggerAfter meeting up with my client here, I should have gone home, but there was something about this guy I couldn’t ignore. First, those silver-blue eyes… they hit differently. They weren’t just pretty—they held weights of real pain hiding behind a face that was too beautiful for this world.We’ve been talking for hours. Okay, not really talking, he mostly just mumbles one or two words at a time, barely able to piece his story together. But the way his voice cracks sometimes… it says more than the words. And the more he speaks, the more it feels like his case is just the tip of the iceberg.His arms were stretched across the counter, head buried between them like he was trying to disappear. That dark, messy hair of his just flopped forward. Dude looked completely done. Gone. He’s cried so much his eyes are red and swollen. Said a whole lot of nasty shit about his brother and wife, and I didn’t even blink because from the way he looked, I could already tell... he wasn’t just hu

5. Who set me up

✓✓✓Jordan"Where the hell is he?" I heard someone's loud voice in my dream.My eyelids twitched. The voice doesn’t go away. It tore through my fogged-up head, sharp and pissed, dragging me out of whatever drunken void I’m stuck in.Fuck. My head is pounding like someone shoved a sledgehammer in there.I groaned, rolling to my side, trying to push the ache down. My arm hit something heavy and soft but didn’t feel like a pillow.My brows pinched as I squinted. There’s blonde hair resting all over my damn arm.My heart skipped, and my brain slammed to life."Jordan!" Ashley’s voice blasted through the room as the door crashed open, smacking the wall like she used her full body weight.I froze. My eyes shot to the woman next to me.She was blonde and naked, her face half-buried in the pillow, her bare back fully exposed."The fuck? It wasn’t a dream," I muttered. I thought I heard Ashley in my dream, but damn it...Ashley stormed in, eyes blazing like fire. "Hngg, so you were cheating on

✓✓✓JaggerClara jumped out of the bed the moment she saw me buttoning up my shirt. Her messy blonde hair fell over her face as she blinked at the clock, eyes widening. “I don’t get it, babe. You said that was your last case and you’d finally take over the family business like your grandfather wanted. What the hell are you wearing that goddamn suit for?”I stared at her through the mirror, fixing my tie. She always got dramatic before breakfast. “Right. I did say that,” I muttered, adjusting the knot until it sat straight. “But I still have JW Group to handle. Clients who need me. I thought I’d take some time before I throw myself into being a chairman and CEO all at once.”She frowned, crawling across the bed, sheets wrapped around her. “You realize our wedding is in a few months, right? My father won’t allow it if you’re still doing this lawyer thing. Please, Jagger…” Her voice softened. “You promised me.”I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck. “Yeah, I know. I’ll be back early toda

7. Nostalgia

✓✓✓JaggerThe moment our eyes met, I realized I wasn’t hallucinating. The man sitting in front of me…the one I’d been thinking about all week—was real, and he was here.He stood up as I walked in, straight-backed, his expression unreadable. His dark hair looked softer under the office light, a few strands falling forward when he turned. He wore a neat gray suit that looked like it had been ironed twice, and a pair of glasses that made him look both older and more fragile. His eyes… hell, those eyes were something else. Silver-blue, almost unnatural, like they didn’t belong in this world.“Mr. Walker,” he said, voice low but steady. “Jordan Blake.”I blinked, realizing he was introducing himself. “Jordan,” I repeated, his name settling awkwardly on my tongue. “Right. You—uh—came in without an appointment?”“Your assistant said you were available.” His tone was clipped, professional, not an ounce of warmth in it. “I won’t take much of your time.”He sat back down before I could say any

8. Manager 's office

Jordan The whole week drained me completely. I had been running around trying to fix too many things at once, sitting through meetings that felt longer than they should be, signing documents until my wrist ached, listening to people talk at me instead of to me. Even when I finally had a moment alone in my office, the silence didn’t help. My head was still loud. And somehow, in the middle of all that noise, my thoughts kept circling back to one thing I didn’t want to think about. Those looks in his eyes. Why did he look at me like that? Like he was seeing something fragile that I didn’t even know how to name myself. It irritated me more than it should have. I hated the idea of being looked at with pity, hated it deeply. I had worked too hard, survived too much, to be reduced to that. I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my temples, staring at the ceiling for a second longer than necessary, when the sudden creaking of the door snapped me out of my thoughts. Billy appeared in the door

9. Under the Same Roof

JordanBilly followed me back home from the office that evening. Not in the same car, but close enough that I noticed the familiar headlights behind me the entire drive. It felt deliberate, like he wanted me to be aware of his presence, like he was already settling into a space that wasn’t his yet.Dinner was already set when we walked in. The smell of food filled the dining room, warm and heavy, but instead of comfort, it pressed down on my chest. Ashley sat at the table like everything was normal, like the house wasn’t cracked right down the middle. She smiled when she saw us, a practiced smile, the kind that didn’t reach her eyes.We sat together. All of us.To anyone else, it would probably look stupid, sitting at the same table with the woman I was divorcing, acting like we were still a family. But Ashley had insisted. She said it was for Chris. That we shouldn’t change things too fast. That children needed routine.And stupidly, I didn’t argue.I focused on my plate, barely tast

10. The Invitation

JordanGo where exactly? I never made any friends aside from Justine, even until the end… how about making a difference this time, not everyone gets a second chance at life. I leaned back in the chair and dragged a hand down my face, feeling the tiredness settle into my bones. It was past ten. The house had gone quieter, but not peaceful. The kind of quiet that meant everyone had chosen their sides and gone to bed with them. Well, peace is one thing I've been unable to associate with at the moment.I reached for my phone.For a moment, I just stared at the screen, scrolling through contacts without really seeing any of the names. Contacts here are mostly business. Damn it Jordan, what kind of life did you really live in your past? That's why they easily hurt you. I needed somewhere not too loud, someone I could be comfortable with.My thumb slowed when I saw a familiar name, my mind riding back to the night at the bar, how it felt so natural around him.I frowned slightly, unsure whe
