Dahlia's POV I should have been listening. Someone was talking about projections, something about overseas collaborations but the words sounded gibberish in my ears. Instead, I was trying to hide how wet I was under the boardroom table. Matthew sat beside me at the edge of the table, his shoulder barely inches away from mine. Close enough to remind me of the parts of me he didn't touch last night. I stared at the polished surface of the table and I kept wondering how this morning might have played out if he'd actually wanted me. I thought about how it might feel to stop aching for him and just sink into my own needs. I used to be good at that, taking care of myself, not begging for attention. What if he'd just reached for me when I rolled towards him in bed, instead of mumbling about some call? "I have an important call. We'll talk later." He always said that. But 'later' was a lie, and it never showed up. I wanted something more real. I wanted to feel him make me matter

Dahlia's POV What could this man want from me? I asked myself again, taking a careful sip of the water he’d handed me. But that wasn’t the thought that I focused on. My eyes drifted over to his tux.

I didn't want to give him the impression that I was attracted to him. The moment we had a small introduction, everything else went smoothly. Time became a blur. And for the first ti

Dahlia's POV Everyone in the boardroom stood as they noticed his presence. It seemed like Matthew shrank into dust and became invisible to everyone in the room. “Dad!” Matthew said, opening his arms for a hug. “What a pleasant surprise…” “Save all that chit chat for later,” Dominic said, waving his hand towards Matthew. “We weren't given prior notice of your arrival Sir,” one of the board members said. “We were in the middle of announcing the new COO. Now you're here, we'll have to take the vote again.” It was only after they mentioned the appointment for the new role that he noticed me. Dominic stared at me and I stared right back. I couldn't tell if last night was just a coincidence or if he had known who I was before he touched me. “Um, Dad,” Matthew said, turning to his father. “We’ve already concluded the vote, and the lady on the right, Miss Aliyah Soretti, is our new COO. She delivered an impeccable…” “Hold on, Matthew.” Dominic’s voice cut through the room.
