Chapter 21: Fracture Lines

Victoria’s POV The drive to Alex’s penthouse felt longer than usual.Not because of traffic, this city always cramped up around this hour but because every red light felt like a mocking pause, dragging out the inevitable confrontation building up inside my chest.I shouldn’t be going there.I knew that.Alex hated unexpected visits. He hated unannounced anything. But knowing that didn’t stop me; if anything, it pushed me harder. The silence in my penthouse had felt suffocating, and every time I closed my eyes, all I saw was her—that meek little mouse answering his phone like she belonged there.I don't know why I feel so threatened by an assistant but I couldn’t sit with that.Not when everything I had built, everything Alex and I had planned, suddenly felt like it was slipping through my fingers.By the time the elevator opened to his private floor, my pulse was pounding. I adjusted my coat, straightened my shoulders, and reminded myself who I was.I am Victoria Sterling, not some

Chapter 22: More Fractured Lines

David’s POV The bar was loud enough to drown a man if he let it.Music sounded like a heartbeat through the dark room with heavy bass, clinking glasses, conversations layered over one another until everything blurred. And maybe that was why I was here again.Maybe that was why I kept coming back.“Another,” I muttered, tapping the empty glass against the counter.The bartender eyed me with the kind of judgment I was too exhausted to care about but he poured it anyway.They always did. A paying customer is a paying customer, and lately, I’d been paying enough to keep the lights on.I took the drink and downed half of it in one swallow. It burned in that familiar way, hot enough to make me feel alive for a moment. Alive, not numb or suffocating or thinking about her.But I failed, again.Because the second my eyes closed, Ariana’s face appeared in my mind, all soft and warm and furious all at once. The memory of her voice which was steady and sounded disappointed, cut deeper than th

Chapter 23: Shattered Truths

Jessica’s POV Getting David into his apartment took more strength than I cared to admit.He wasn’t heavy, just… limp. Limp the way people get when sorrow has seeped into their bones, replacing whatever dignity they once had. His arm draped over my shoulder as I half-carried, half-dragged him down the hallway.“Watch your step,” I muttered.He didn’t respond. Just stumbled over the threshold, collapsing onto the couch the second I let go.His breathing was uneven—tired, drunk, heartbroken in the most self-inflicted way possible.I stood there for a moment, staring at him. The guy I once thought I wanted. The guy who ruined everything with Ariana. The guy who still somehow managed to make himself the victim.“Pathetic,” I whispered, though the word tasted too bitter to feel satisfying.I covered him with a blanket, set a glass of water on the table next to him, and grabbed his phone so he wouldn’t drunk-text her again. I should have left it at that.Instead, something in me twisted, lo

Chapter 24: Clean Cuts

Ariana’s POVMorning came too quickly.The alarm rang like it had a personal vendetta, slicing through whatever thin layer of sleep I had managed after Jessica stormed out of the house. I groaned, dragging a hand down my face. My eyes felt gritty, my head heavy, and the emotional residue of last night clung to me like smoke.It was another work day.I needed to get Alex’s coffee, his schedule, respond to emails and set up his meetings.This was my normal little routine—the one thing in my life that made sense.I pulled myself out of bed, showered, and dressed in a black blouse and tailored pants which made me look professional and unbothered or at least pretending to be.I had just slipped on my shoes when a knock sounded at my door.It was Maya.I could tell by the impatience alone.I opened the door, and she stood there with her hair in a messy bun, still in pajamas, holding a cereal bowl like it doubled as emotional support.Her eyes were wide.“You,” she said, pointing the spoon a

Chapter 25: Fault Lines

Ariana’s POV The drive to Southbridge felt like a blur.Alex barely spoke the entire way which was nothing unusual but somehow the silence today felt heavier, stretched thin between us. He worked through emails on his phone while I pretended to review the project documents on my tablet. In reality, my mind kept replaying Jessica’s words like a stuck record.I hated that I still cared at all.By the time the car pulled into the construction site, dust clouding around the tires, I was grateful for the distraction.Southbridge was huge—an expanse of steel frames, excavators, temporary cabins, and workers in bright vests moving across the open grounds like pieces on a chessboard. The cold morning wind carried the scent of sand and diesel.Alex stepped out first, his presence somehow cutting through the chaos like a blade. I followed, clutching my iPad, reminding myself to look composed, steady, professional.“ALEX!”The shout boomed before I even found its source.A tall guy jogged tow

Chapter 26: Glass Edges

Ariana’s POV I didn’t speak to Alex for the rest of the walk back to the car.Mostly because I didn’t know what to say and partially because I wasn’t sure my voice would be steady if I tried. His words kept replaying in my head, looping like a glitch in my nervous system.He shouldn't get access to you.Access? Like I was a building with restricted floors and he held the only keycard.By the time we reached the car, my mind was a mess of irritation, confusion, and something alarmingly close to warmth.I slid into the back seat beside him. He stared out the window the whole drive back, jaw tight, hands clasped too neatly on his lap.He didn’t say a word and I didn’t either.But the silence was different this time.When the car slowed in front of Sterling Tower, I expected him to get out with his usual precision.Instead, Ethan’s voice rang out from behind us.“Hey! Good, you’re not escaping yet.”He jogged up to the car window, breath turning cloudy in the cold air. His hardhat was g

Chapter 27: Blurry Lines

Alex’s POV The cold air felt like a slap but not sharp enough to quiet the storm under my skin.Ariana stood in front of me on the sidewalk, cheeks flushed from the night air, eyes wide with concern. She shouldn’t look at me like that, not when everything inside me felt like it was shaking loose.“No,” I’d told her. And it was the truest thing I’d said in months.Before she could say anything else, my phone buzzed violently in my pocket.It was Ethan.Of course.Ariana let out a quiet exhale, wrapping her arms around herself. “You should… get that.”I didn’t want to. I wanted to deal with this—with her, with the words choking my throat, with the way something had shifted between us so sharply I could still feel the edges cutting into me.But Ethan only called repeatedly when something was urgent or when he was about to become a problem.I answered.“What?” I snapped.“Get back inside,” he said immediately. “Two minutes, alone.”“I don’t…”“Alex.” The way he said my name with no teas

Chapter 28: What The Hell

Ariana’s POV Alex didn’t speak after he answered that call.One second, his eyes were on mine—open, raw, like he was about to rip his entire chest open and hand me the truth.And then the phone buzzed.He looked down, saw the name and everything in him slammed shut.The air inside the car changed, like someone had opened a window in the middle of winter. I didn’t know what his grandfather said, or didn’t say, only that the Alex sitting beside me now wasn’t the same Alex from a minute ago.The ride to my house was quiet.I tried to look at him once or twice, but his jaw was clenched in that locked-steel way he had, like if he loosened even a fraction, everything would spill out.I didn’t push.I didn’t trust my voice not to tremble.So I stared out the window, watching streetlights smear across the glass like blurred gold paint. My palms were sweaty. My heart was a fluttering, frantic thing. Everything inside me felt suspended, mid-breath, mid-thought, mid-something dangerous.Becau

Chapter 29: Terms And Conditions

Ariana’s POV The elevator ride to the top floor felt too short and too long at the same time.My nerves buzzed like an unruly hive under my skin, and by the time the doors slid open with a soft chime, my heartbeat had already climbed into my throat. The entire top level was quiet, much quieter than usual. Even the air felt different. I walked to Alex’s office, my heels tapping a nervous rhythm against the polished floor. When I reached the large double doors, I forced myself to take one slow breath.Then I knocked.“Come in,” came his voice which was low.I pushed the door open.Alex was sitting behind his desk, jacket off, sleeves rolled up slightly. He looked like a man who hadn’t slept. His hair was slightly disheveled, his tie loosened, and the tension in his shoulders could’ve held up the building.He looked up at me the second I walked in.Something flickered across his face immediately he saw me.“You wanted to see me?” I asked, closing the door behind me.“Yes.” His voice w

Chapter 30: Smoke & Mirrors

Alex’s POV The moment Ariana stepped out of my office, the air shifted.Or maybe it was just me—my pulse still pounding from the words I’d just said, the vulnerability I’d let slip, the way she’d looked at me like I was something breakable and dangerous at the same time.I needed a minute.But the universe never gave me minutes. It liked ripping them away.Because ten seconds—maybe eleven—after the door shut behind her, the door burst open.“Alexander!”My mother’s voice ricocheted through the office like a gunshot.I closed my eyes for half a second.Of course.Why not?Perfect timing didn’t exist in my life.When I looked up, she was already storming across the room, her heels stabbing the carpet like they were personally offended by my existence.Her dark hair was twisted into the same immaculate curls she wore for board meetings and funerals. Her diamond earrings glinted like tiny threats.And she was furious.“Mother,” I said evenly, leaning back in my chair. “Good morning.”“Do
