JADEN."This looks exactly like Bellamy's project. You could come up with yours. Something authentic, you know?" Charles Barron, SA to the president, said as he gently threw my files onto the table."Trust me. I've been working on this project for over two years now. It was meant to be discreet. Bellamy is the one whose project isn't authentic, I promise." I tried to defend, even though it sounded stupid.Charles and Scott threw each other an amused glance, and both chuckled."But from where we're sitting, yours is coming in two days after Bellamy's. And from what we gathered, he has been working on this project for over four years now, taking notes of the security lapses and systemic failures across federal agencies for years,” Scott finished, steepling his fingers. “Which makes his proposal feel… informed and intentional.”I leaned forward before they could close the door completely. “Studying lapses isn’t the same thing as building a solution. Bellamy documented problems. I enginee

CRYSTAL."What are you doing here?" I asked with venom in my voice.He didn’t answer immediately. He just stood there, both hands tucked into his pockets, eyes dragging over me slowly, like I was something filthy he hadn’t decided whether to discard or redeem.“Is this how desperate you’ve become?” he asked finally. “Letting him touch you like that. In public.”My spine stiffened. “You don’t get to speak to me like that.”He scoffed and stepped closer.I stepped back."You're truly now with him, huh?" He asked and took another step forward.I swallowed and steadied my voice, "Yes. I am. And it's none of your business, Jaden." I straightened my gown and attempted to leave, "Excuse me...""Why the rush?" He said harshly, and then his hand closed around my arm before I could walk past him.“Let. Me. Go.” I pulled against his grip, but it didn’t budge. Instead, he yanked me back hard enough that I stumbled, my body colliding with his chest.A gasp tore out of me before I could stop it.“B

CRYSTAL.Jaden froze for just a second before slowly continuing to slide in and out of me."Jesus, Jaden!" I whispered harshly, "There is someone at the door!"He smirked, one hand sliding to my waist, pinning me in place when I tried to pull back. “Does it look like I care, baby?”The knock came again, and my body jolted on instinct, but Jaden didn’t even blink. His eyes were dark and unreadable, and something ugly sat in them—something that made my chest tighten with real fear.“Jaden, stop,” I hissed. “It could be your wife. Or Noah. Or anyone—”I tried to push him away, but he only picked up his pace, driving into me with long, hard thrusts that knocked the breath right out of my lungs.“I don’t give a fuck, Crystal,” he said flatly. “Maybe it’s time we finally get caught. Ever think of that?”He pulled out and slammed back in harshly, watching my face for a reaction.My head fell back as a sound tore out of me before I could stop it.He repeated the motion over and over again in

JADEN.“You didn’t have to be that dramatic out there,” I said when Valerie finally walked into the bedroom almost an hour after the last guest had left.She didn’t even look at me at first. She dropped her phone on the vanity and began removing her earrings as if we were discussing the success of the event.“What do you mean, honey?” she asked, fake innocence dripping from every syllable.“Crystal,” I said, closing the book in my hand and setting it aside. “She was talking to Jeremy. That’s all. You escalated it for no reason.”Valerie let out a quiet laugh and slipped the zipper of her dress down slowly."You're still stuck in that moment? Grow out of it, Jaden. It's behind us now," She rolled her eyes, taking off her dress."You did that on purpose, right? The extra drama to make her look bad," I sat up, my palms balled into fists as I did all I could to tame the wild rage burning through me."Wait," She turned to face me, lifting a brow, "Are you..." She scoffed, "I thought we wer

CRYSTAL."Mummy? Where would we stay if we leave?" Jason asked, his little face crumpled in sadness."We'll stay with Noah," I replied, zipping up our suitcase."But... Is Uncle Noah's house as big and as beautiful as this one?" He asked again.“Mummy? Where would we stay if we leave?” Jason asked quietly, his small fingers twisting the edge of the blanket as he watched me close the suitcase.I forced the zipper up with more strength than necessary. “We’ll stay with Noah for a while,” I said, keeping my tone steady.He hesitated. “Is Uncle Noah’s house as big as this one?”I paused for half a second before answering. “It’s… nice. And comfortable.”“But this one is really big,” he continued, glancing around the room like he was trying to memorize it. “And the garden is so pretty. And Marilyn said we could feed the birds sometime.”My chest tightened."I have never seen Grandpa. And I have only seen Grandma once," He pointed.“They’ve been busy,” I said automatically, folding one of his
