Scorn Of A Jealous Woman

Inés had just gotten home from campus when her mother stopped her in the foyer, her expression tight with disapproval."There's a woman here to see you," Carmen said, her voice low. "I told her you weren't available, but she insisted on waiting."Inés frowned. "Who?""Maria from the company." Carmen's lips pressed into a thin line. "She seems... upset."Inés's stomach dropped. Of course Maria would come. Of course she wouldn't just accept being fired and disappear quietly."Where is she?""The guest parlour." Carmen hesitated. "Inés, do you want me to call Miguel or stay with you? Why is a woman from the company here?""No." Inés straightened her shoulders, lifting her chin. "I can handle this mother. She didn't come for Miguel."Carmen didn't look convinced. "Why will she come looking for you looking that upset? You've only been to the office once.""I have this under control, Mother. Please no interruptions. Trust me to handle this." Ines begged "Okay..." Carmen agreed still not co

Jealous Lover or Big Brother

Carlos walked into Miguel's office without knocking, dropping a stack of documents on the desk with more force than necessary."Boss," he said, his voice dripping with exaggerated respect. "Your files, boss. Anything else you need, boss?"Miguel didn't look up from his computer. "Drop the sarcasm, Carlos.""Oh, I'm sorry." Carlos leaned against the desk, arms crossed. "I thought that's what you wanted this morning. You know... when you were exercising your power. Ordering me around in front of everyone. Making it very clear who's in charge."Miguel's jaw tightened, but he kept his eyes on the screen. "I was surprised to see you at the house. You didn't tell me you were coming.""Right. You were surprised." Carlos laughed, but there was no humor in it. "Is that what we're calling it? Because from where I was standing, it looked a lot more like a pissing contest. And I wasn't even the one you were pissed at.""Carlos.""The least you could have done was give me five minutes alone with

Like Mother, Like Daughter

José was still buttoning his shirt when Carmen's hand trailed down his bare back, her nails scratching lightly against his skin."Stay a little longer," she murmured, her voice husky from their exercise.José glanced at her over his shoulder, his jaw tight. She was sprawled across the bed, the sheets tangled around her legs, her dark hair wild against the pillows. Even now... sweaty, disheveled, thoroughly satisfied... she was beautiful.And dangerous."I need to go," he said, reaching for his pants. "Before someone sees me."Carmen sat up, letting the sheet fall away completely. "No one comes to this wing of the house. We're safe here."José's eyes tracked over her body. The curve of her breasts, the dip of her waist, the way the afternoon light painted gold across her brown skin. His throat went dry."Carmen," he said, his voice rough. "You're playing a dangerous game.""We both are." She tilted her head, watching him with those dark, knowing eyes. "You knew the stakes from the begi

Ghosts

Miguel pushed through the velvet curtains of P-Valley like a man possessed, his eyes scanning the dim interior with barely controlled desperation.Blue and purple lights painting shadows across the stages where women moved with slow sensuality. But none of them were her. None of them were Red.He made a move for the bar where Uncle Clifford sat on a stool, the club's owner watching him approach with knowing eyes behind his heavily applied makeup."Well, well," Clifford drawled, setting down the glass he'd been nursing. "If it isn't my favorite obsessed customer. Back again so soon?""Where is she?" Miguel demanded, his hands bracing on the bar."Who, baby?""Don't play games with me, Clifford. Where the fuck is Red?"Clifford's expression shifted, losing some of it's amusement. "Miguel, honey, you need to calm down.""I am calm." Miguel's voice was hard. "I'm also paying you a big fortune for exclusive access to one of your dancers. So I'll ask again, where is she?""She hasn't been h

Threats

"Inés smoothed down her dress for the third time, her palms sweating despite the restaurant's air conditioning.This was her first real date.Carlos sat across from her, looking effortlessly handsome in a casual button-down that brought out the warm brown of his eyes. He smiled at her over the menu, genuine and kind, and Inés felt a pang of guilt for how distracted she was."You look nervous," Carlos said gently."I am nervous." Inés laughed. "This is actually my first time doing this. The whole... date thing."Carlos's smile widened. "Really?""Really.""Well, then I'm honored." He reached across the table, taking her hand. "And I promise to make it memorable. In a good way."Inés felt her cheeks warm. "Thank you. And thank you for the flowers, too. At this rate, my bedroom's going to turn into a flower shop."Carlos laughed, the sound rich and warm. "That's the intention. Among other things."The way he said it... low and meaningful... made Inés flush deeper. She looked down at the

Gasoline On Fire

Carlos's car pulled into the compound at the exact moment Miguel's jeep rolled through the gates. The timing was so perfect it felt like fate was playing a cruel joke.Inés's stomach dropped as she watched Miguel's headlights cut through the darkness."Shit," Carlos muttered under his breath, gripping the steering wheel."It's fine," Inés said quickly, though her heart was racing. "Just... act normal."Carlos put the car in park and looked at her. "After what just happened at the restaurant, I don't even know what normal is anymore."Before she could respond, he was already out of the car, moving around to open her door. Inés stepped out, the cool night air hitting her flushed skin, and immediately Carlos's hand found hers."Are you okay?" His voice was low, urgent, his fingers squeezing hers. "Like really okay?""I'm fine." The lie came easier than it should have. "You don't need to worry about what happened earlier.""How can I not worry?" Carlos's eyes searched hers, genuine concer

Corporate War

Carlos stared at Miguel, his eyebrows raised. "You really want to discuss business right now? At nine PM? Outside the office, off work hours?" He shook his head, exhaustion evident in every line of his body. "Can't it wait until tomorrow?"Miguel didn't answer immediately. Instead, he started unbuttoning his shirt collar, his fingers working the button with sharp, jerky movements. He took a deep breath trying to keep his control from shattering completely.Then he started pacing back and forth in front of his car."Miguel?" Carlos prompted, concern replacing his irritation. "What's going on?"Miguel stopped pacing and turned to face him. "I got information today from a credible source.""What kind of information?""Maria has joined Morrison Homes."Carlos went still. "What?""She signed with them this afternoon." Miguel's voice was tight, controlled in that way that meant he was barely holding it together. "Our biggest competitor. And according to my source, she's planning to leak eve

Everything Exposed

Inés walked into the kitchen just after eleven, her nerves threatening breaking, desperately needing water. She stopped short when she saw José sitting at the small breakfast table, eating what looked like leftover roasted chicken and rice.The moment their eyes met, he froze mid-bite. Then he stood abruptly, grabbing his plate like he'd been caught doing something illegal."Don't let me interrupt," Inés said coolly, walking to the refrigerator. "I'm just getting water."José moved toward the sink, keeping his eyes down. "I was just finishing.""Stay and finish your food," Inés said, pulling out a bottle of water. "I won't be long. I just need water and then I'll be out of your way."José set his plate down on the counter but didn't sit. He stood there awkwardly, practically vibrating with the need to escape.Inés twisted the cap off her water bottle, watching him. "Why have you been avoiding me, José?"He didn't answer, still not meeting her eyes."Is your conscience eating at you?"

One Breath Away

Miguel stood at the kitchen entrance, his silhouette dark against the hallway light, his expression was unreadable. It looked like he'd been in the middle of undressing when something had drawn him downstairs.How long had he been standing there? How much had he heard?José recovered first, setting down the plate he'd been holding with hands that weren't quite steady. "Boss, I didn't hear you come in.""Clearly." Miguel's voice was flat, his eyes moving between them. "What's this about someone owing money?"José's jaw tightened. "I was just... it was nothing.""I asked a simple question." Miguel stepped into the kitchen, and the space suddenly felt smaller. "Who owes who?""It's nothing, Boss." José's voice was carefully neutral. "Just a personal matter I was discussing with miss Inés. I came down because I was hungry and couldn't sleep. I'll head back to my quarters now."He moved toward the door, but Miguel's voice stopped him."I asked you a question, José."The tension went up, In

The Last Goodbye

"Is that..?" Miguel's voice cut through the chaos of the moment, sharp and urgent.Inés nodded, her face draining of color. "That's my mother."Whatever had been building between them in the kitchen evaporated instantly. They moved as one, running out of the kitchen and toward the stairs.The screaming continued, desperate and raw."PLEASE! SOMEBODY HELP!"Inés's heart hammered against her ribs as they took the stairs two at a time, Miguel slightly ahead of her, his longer legs eating up the distance. The hallway on the second floor was dark except for the light spilling from one open doorway.Santiago's room.They reached the doorway and found Carmen collapsed against the frame, her body shaking with violent sobs. Her silk nightgown was twisted around her legs, her hair wild, her face streaked with tears and mascara."Mother!" Inés grabbed her shoulders, shaking her gently. "What happened? What's wrong?"Carmen couldn't speak. She just pointed into the room with a trembling hand, her
