GREEN-EYED FIRE

‎Silas‎‎I arrived at the office with one clear goal in mind to make Sarah feel the sting of jealousy.‎She had been pushing me away, hiding behind her fear about Alexander, and fighting every step of the way. It was time she understood what it felt like when my attention shifted even if only for show.‎I spotted Victoria near the reception area and called her over loud enough for nearby ears to hear.‎“Victoria,” I said with a warm, charming smile I rarely gave anyone. “You look lovely this morning. I’ve noticed how well you’ve been handling the reports lately. Walk with me.”‎Victoria’s eyes brightened instantly, though she kept her tone perfectly respectful. “Thank you, Mr. Crowley. I’m happy to help in any way.”‎We walked down the hallway slowly, stopping right in front of Sarah’s slightly open office door. I placed a light, professional hand on Victoria’s shoulder nothing overt, but enough to look intimate from a distance.‎“You have a sharp eye for detail,” I continued. “I may

DOUBT AND DESIRE

‎‎Sarah‎‎I stood in front of the full-length mirror in my bedroom, smoothing the red dress over my hips. It hugged my curves perfectly elegant and professional. My hair fell in soft waves, my makeup was flawless.‎I looked beautiful and strong. Ready for a business dinner with the Miami investor.‎But the moment I thought about sitting beside Silas Crowley again, my stomach twisted.‎How could I do this?‎How could I sit next to the man who had secretly investigated me? The man who somehow knew about Alexander the one secret I had guarded with my life? The itch in my brain wouldn’t stop. How the hell did he even find out? It had only been me and Diane with no records or traces.‎And then there was Marcus’s message on Silas’s phone that night in Miami. That single notification had started everything spiraling. What if Marcus knew about my son too? What if he and Silas were working together in some twisted way? What if this whole “partnership” was just a setup to destroy me completel

DINNER AND DANGER

‎‎Silas‎‎The private dining room at Le Jardin was quiet and elegant, soft lighting casting warm shadows over the crisp white tablecloth. The Miami investor, Richard Harlan, sat across from us, talking numbers and expansion plans.‎But my attention wasn’t really on him.‎It was on Sarah.‎She looked stunning in that red dress. Her posture was perfect, professional smile in place, but I could see the tension in her shoulders. The way her fingers occasionally tightened around her wine glass. The subtle flush on her cheeks whenever our eyes met.‎She was still fighting the jealousy from this morning. Still wrestling with the doubt about how I knew about Alexander and sitting so close to me, our thighs brushing under the table, was making it worse.‎I let my hand rest lightly on her knee under the tablecloth, fingers tracing slow, lazy circles up her thigh. She stiffened but didn’t pull away.‎“...and that’s why we’re very interested in partnering with Bennett & Associates,” Harlan was

Deceit

‎‎‎Sarah‎‎The moment I saw the message on Silas’s phone, everything inside me went still.‎Unknown Number: Tell Sarah I know about the boy. We need to talk. — M‎Marcus.‎My stomach dropped and the heat that had been building between my legs disappeared instantly, replaced by pure ice-cold fear and anger.‎I stared at the screen, then slowly looked up at Silas. My voice came out weak and shaking.‎“How the hell does Marcus know about Alexander?”‎Silas opened his mouth, "I didn’t… I didn’t know he knew.”‎“Don’t you dare lie to me,” I said, stepping back from him. “You knew. You’ve known about my son and now suddenly Marcus knows about my son the one secret I kept from everyone?” How? How the hell did he find out?”‎“Sarah, listen to me...”‎“No!” I cut him off, my voice rising. “You listen, I kept Alexander a secret for a reason. I didn’t want Marcus anywhere near him because that man is weak, greedy, and dangerous and now he knows because of you.”‎“Sarah, just hear me out first
