Moving On Isn't The Same Thing As Letting Go

ANTON "You're still in love with her." I nearly choked on my coffee. Across the table, Arthur looked completely unbothered as he took another leisurely sip from his cup. I lowered mine slowly. "Excuse me?" Arthur lifted a brow. "You heard me." I stared at him. He stared right back. Neither of us blinked. Finally, I dragged a hand down my face and sighed. "You're unbelievable." Arthur smiled into his coffee. "And you're obvious." I shook my head and set my cup down with a soft clink. "No. I'm handling this pretty well." "Are you?" His gaze flicked toward the restroom door before returning to me. "Because you've been staring at that door for the last ten minutes." I followed his gaze before immediately looking away. "That's..." I gestured vaguely with one hand. "She's been gone a while. I'm just being a concerned colleague." Arthur pressed his lips together. Said nothing. Which somehow felt far more judgmental than if he

Home

ANTON / SELENE The first thing I noticed was that Selene wasn't drinking. The glass sat untouched in front of her. Tiny droplets of condensation slid slowly down the side, gathering at the base before disappearing into the coaster beneath it. Every few seconds, her gaze drifted toward it as though the answer to whatever was weighing on her mind might somehow be floating inside. I looked away before she caught me watching. The bar was crowded enough to fill the silence between us. Soft music drifted through the speakers overhead. Laughter rose from a nearby table. A waiter weaved through the room carrying a tray of colorful cocktails. Conversations overlapped into a steady hum of background noise. Yet somehow, the tension at our table felt louder than all of it. I wrapped my fingers around my glass and took a slow sip. Selene glanced at the amber liquid. "So?" I looked up. "So what?" "Is it good?" A smile tugged at the corner of

I Just Don't Know Who I Am Without Hoping Anymore

ASHLEY The doorbell rang at exactly 8:47 p.m.I knew because I'd checked the clock three times in the last ten minutes while pretending I wasn't waiting for anyone.Or more specifically, pretending I wasn't waiting for Jordan. It was ridiculous. I had spent the last hour curled up on my couch with a book open in my lap, rereading the same paragraph six times because my attention kept wandering toward the front door.Not that I was expecting him.At least, that's what I kept telling myself.So when the bell rang again, I immediately set my book aside and got to my feet.The anticipation lasted exactly three seconds.Right until I opened the door.Then it vanished.Because Jordan wasn't standing there.Anton was.I blinked.His cheeks were slightly flushed.His curls looked thoroughly abused, as if he'd spent the entire drive dragging frustrated hands through them.And there was something off about his expression.Not devastated.Not exactly.Just... tired.The kind of tired th

What She Adds To My Life

JORDAN By the time I pulled into my father's driveway, I was already in a bad mood. Which was unfortunate. Because spending time with my father usually made it worse. I killed the engine and sat there for a moment, staring at the sprawling mansion illuminated by warm exterior lights. The house looked exactly the same as it always had. Perfect. Imposing. And suffocating. With a quiet exhale, I stepped out of the car and headed toward the front door. The door swung open before I could ring the bell. "Jordan." My mother's face immediately brightened. She pulled me into a hug before I could say a word. "Good to see you home." I wrapped an arm around her and hugged her back. "How have you been?" "I've been good." She smiled warmly. "Just busy. Your father's birthday is coming up, so the house has been chaotic." "Right." I nodded. "Where is he?" "Still in his study." She rubbed my arm affectionately. "You'll stay the night, won't you? It's alread

Please Trust Me

ASHLEY I checked my phone again. Nothing. No messages. No missed calls. No notifications. Exactly the same result I'd gotten the last five times. With a frustrated sigh, I dropped the phone onto the kitchen counter and reached for my wineglass. This was ridiculous. I'd stormed out of Jordan's office. I'd told him I was done waiting for him. And yet here I was. Still glancing at my phone every few minutes like some lovesick teenager hoping he'd call, text, or at least send a half-decent apology. I took a long sip of wine. God, I felt pathetic. Lately, I'd been breaking every promise I'd made to myself. The worst part was that I knew it. "Are you expecting a call?" I nearly jumped. "What?" I looked across the counter at Anton. He pointed lazily toward my phone. "You've checked that thing so many times that I'm starting to think you're waiting for the president to contact you." A reluctant snort escaped me. "I was chec

A Quiet Morning Together

SELENEThe morning light filtered softly through the sheer curtains, painting warm golden stripes across the heavy duvet.I stirred beneath the covers, a slow, contented sigh escaping me as I rolled onto my side.My hand brushed against cool, empty sheets.Sebastian was already awake.A lazy smile curved my lips anyway.The faint scent of his cedarwood cologne still lingered on the pillow beside me, and instantly my thoughts drifted back to the previous night.Heat crept into my cheeks.Sebastian truly hadn't been joking when he warned me that his therapy session would come with a fee.Apparently, he had been very serious about collecting payment.Every muscle in my body seemed determined to remind me of that fact.I groaned softly and buried my face in the pillow for a second."Unbelievable."The muffled sound of running water drifted from the bathroom.My smile widened.Pushing the duvet aside, I slipped out of bed and brushed my tangled hair away from my face before padding barefo

Lobby. Five Minutes

ASHLEY With my phone, notepad, and pen in hand, I stepped out of my office and headed toward the conference room. I had barely made it halfway down the corridor when Anton appeared, a steaming mug of coffee balanced in one hand. I couldn't help the amused shake of my head. When he'd woken up this morning, his first complaint had been that his head felt like it was being split open. What exactly had he expected after finishing nearly an entire bottle of wine? "How are you feeling now?" I asked as we fell into step beside each other. Anton brushed a hand through his messy curls. "Still feel like shit," he admitted. "Just not as much as I did this morning." I pressed my lips together, patting his shoulder sympathetically. "Recovery. We love to see it." Before he could respond, a voice called out from behind us. "I see you guys came in together." Anton and I turned simultaneously. Sarah stood there with Daniella beside her. Both women wore matching express

The Rule We Broke

JORDAN / ASHLEY/ MIRA JORDAN I picked up my car keys from the desk and turned toward the door. Before I could leave, the door opened and Mira stepped inside carrying her tablet. "Should I make a reservation for lunch, sir?" she asked. I paused. "No." "Oh." She blinked. "Do you already have an appointment?" I tilted my head slightly. "Should I be reporting my whereabouts to you now?" The color instantly drained from her face. "No." She shook her head quickly. "T-that's not what I meant. I'm sorry." For a second, I tried to maintain a serious expression. Then I failed. A laugh slipped out. "I'm joking, Mira." She stared at me. Then, realizing I wasn't serious, let out an awkward laugh of her own. "Oh." For someone who had worked for me for years, she still occasionally reacted as if I might fire her for breathing incorrectly. "Go have lunch," I said, moving toward the door. "Yes, sir." She stepped aside to let m

I Bet He Didn't Tell You

SELENE I was spending my lunch break shopping with Sebastian for something to wear to my father's birthday party.The boutique was quiet, filled with soft music and the faint scent of expensive perfume. A rack of evening gowns stood before me, but my attention kept drifting elsewhere. More specifically, to Ashley. A smile tugged at my lips as Ashley's flustered expression replayed in my mind. "Thought of something funny?" Sebastian's voice pulled me from my thoughts. I glanced up to find him watching me with mild curiosity. I shook my head, running my fingers over the sleeve of a dress. "I think Ashley is seeing someone." One of his brows lifted. "You think?" I nodded. "She's keeping it a secret, but I'm sure she'll tell me when she's ready." I pulled a navy-blue gown from the rack and held it against myself, studying my reflection in the mirror. "Hmm." Sebastian slipped his hands into his pockets. "And her love life makes you laugh?" I lowered the dres

The Idea Didn't Seem Quite As Ridiculous

SEBASTIAN There was something wrong with Selene. And I didn't believe for a second that she was simply tired. She had been perfectly fine before she disappeared into the changing room. Then she'd come out different, like something had crawled into her head and refused to leave.Even during the drive back, I'd asked her twice if she was okay. Both times, she'd given me the same answer. I'm just tired. A lie.Or at the very least, an excuse. I sighed as the elevator doors slid open. Stepping out, I headed toward my office, only to find Vincent standing outside my door. The moment he saw me, his shoulders visibly relaxed. "Finally." I frowned. "Why didn't you answer your phone?" "My phone?" I pulled it from my coat pocket and immediately spotted the five missed calls.Right. I'd put it on silent earlier and forgotten about it. I glanced up. "What's going on?" Vincent rubbed the back of his neck. "Your father and brother are waiting insid
