Nothing Personal

The car doors closed with a soft thud.For a moment, neither of them spoke.The city moved past them, distant voices along with the steady hum of traffic, but inside, everything felt quieter. Gabriella shifted slightly.They had done it. They had secured the deal.And yet…Her fingers stilled.Beside her, Alexander sat back, with one arm resting against the door. His expression hadn't changed since they stepped out of the building.Calm and unreadable.Gabriella glanced at him briefly. Then again.“Do you think…” she started, then paused for a second.Alexander didn't turn, but she knew he was listening.“Do you think Mr Patrick would give Dennis a chance as well?” she asked.The question settled between them.“Highly unlikely,” he said. His tone was even.“He doesn't partner with a lot of companies. He prefers to center his focus.”Gabriella nodded slowly, her gaze dropping briefly to her hands.That made sense.Still…“Would Dennis be offended?” she asked quietly.This time, Alex

Echoes In The Quiet

The water was still, catching the moonlight in soft fragments as it stretched beneath the night sky.Gabriella leaned back slightly in her chair, her legs crossed at the ankle, one hand resting loosely against the armrest. The air was cooler out here. Cleaner. It carried none of the weight the office did. No expectations. No urgency.For the first time all day… she let herself breathe.The house was quiet behind her. Lights dimmed. Staff had retreated. Everything had settled.But her mind hadn't. Not completely, at least.Mr Patrick’s voice still lingered somewhere at the edge of her thoughts.‘Family doesn't screw each other over.’Her fingers tapped lightly against the armrest, then stilled.What if he found out their engagement was a facade?Or worse.What if there was another crisis at the company and Mr Patrick suffers losses because of it?She exhaled slowly, her gaze drifting back to the water.“You look like you’re thinking too much.”His voice came from behind her.Gabriella

The Name On Her Screen

When Friday morning came, Gabriella sat up slowly, brushing her hair away from her face as sunlight filtered softly through the curtains.She reached for her phone almost instinctively.Dennis’ message was still there.Her thumb hovered briefly above the keyboard.Then stopped.What exactly was she supposed to say?Sorry, we closed a deal, and you didn’t?She locked the screen again and placed the phone down on the bed beside her.She couldn’t reply.At least not yet.By the time Gabriella and Alexander arrived at the office, the company was already in full swing.People moved faster.Phones rang constantly.Assistants walked in and out of offices carrying documents.The partnership with Marvins LTD was a huge deal. It could determine whether Kingston Enterprises remained relevant or sank.They had gotten hold of a life jacket, that being Mr Patrick. Now it was up to them to take advantage and survive long enough for the storm to pass.Gabriella sat at her desk, deep in her work.Mira

How Long?

Gabriella woke slowly the next morning, the warmth of sunlight spilling faintly across the bed.For a few seconds, she stayed still, staring blankly at the ceiling as sleep slowly left her body.Then her mind caught up.Alexander.Last night.The shift in his expression before he left her room. Her brows pulled together slightly.Something had been off.She couldn’t fully explain it, but she had noticed it.The thoughts lingered in her mind as she reached for her phone. The screen lit up instantly.Several unread notifications filled the screen. She had been too exhausted to attend to them after Alexander left her room last night.Her attention settled immediately on one name.Dennis.He had texted her again last night.Her thumb hovered briefly before she opened the message.Dennis: Am I being ignored?She exhaled softly.Gabriella: I just didn't know what to say.The reply came faster than she expected.Dennis: You could have started with Hello?A faint smile tugged at her lips.Gab

It Felt Personal

“How long have you and Dennis been texting?”Her fingers remained still against the stack of sample cards in her hands as Alexander’s question settled heavily between them.His tone was calm. Too calm.That somehow made the question feel heavier.His expression remained composed, almost unreadable.Almost.Now that she knew what to look for, she could see it.The slight tightness in his jaw.The stillness in his posture.The way his eyes stayed fixed on her without wavering.He had seen the notification last night.And he had remembered it. It stayed in his mind all day.“Not long,” she answered carefully.Silence followed.Alexander’s gaze didn’t leave her face.“How did you get his number?” he asked.Gabriella blinked slightly at the question.“Miranda invited me to have lunch with her near the office, and he was there.”It was a lie. She already had Dennis’ number long before then, but she couldn't tell him that. Dennis had told her it was better this way.Alexander studied her car

I Said It First

Gabriella woke later than usual.Sunlight spilled softly through the curtains and stretched across the room in pale streaks. For a few seconds, she remained still beneath the sheets, staring blankly ahead while her thoughts slowly caught up with her.‘You keep defending him.’Her brows pulled together faintly.The conversation with Alexander had followed her into sleep somehow. Every pause. Every look. Every answer that didn’t feel entirely truthful.Especially his.That was the frustrating part.He kept insisting nothing was wrong while acting like something was.Gabriella closed her eyes briefly.She really owed Miranda one. If she hadn't backed up her story, she would have been caught in a lie.Why did it matter to him who she texted anyway?Dennis was his brother.That should have settled it.For some reason, it didn't.A knock sounded softly against the door.“Miss Gabriella?” one of the staff called politely from outside. “Breakfast is ready.”“I’ll be down soon,” she replied.A

Two Weeks

The moment they got home, Gabriella didn’t even make it past the living room.She kicked off her shoes near the entrance and let out a slow breath, as if the entire weight of the day had finally caught up with her at once.Her feet ached more than she expected.Too much walking. Too many decisions. Too many conversations that somehow required more energy than they should have.Without thinking, she walked straight to the couch and sank into it completely.Her head tilted back slightly as she closed her eyes for a second.“I’m not moving again today,” she muttered under her breath.From behind her, Alexander shut the door.His gaze immediately landed on her.“You’ve been on your feet all day,” he said simply.Gabriella didn’t open her eyes.“Observant.”He shook his head at her sarcasm, then turned and walked toward the kitchen.She opened one eye slightly and found she was alone, then shut it again.Gabriella shifted slightly on the couch, stretching her legs carefully. The ache in he

Better Brother

Gabriella woke slowly to the faint warmth of sunlight brushing against her face.For a few seconds, she stayed still, blinking tiredly at the unfamiliar angle of the ceiling above her.Then confusion slowly faded into realization.The couch.Her eyes widened slightly.She had fallen asleep in the living room.Gabriella pushed herself upright too quickly, the blanket sliding slightly from her shoulders before she froze.Her fingers tightened around the soft fabric.A memory surfaced faintly through the exhaustion.Invitation samples scattered across the table.Alexander sitting beside her.Her eyes drifted slowly around the empty living room.The folder still sat neatly on the table exactly where they had left it. Some of the invitation samples had been stacked together properly instead of spread around carelessly.And suddenly she knew.Alexander.He had covered her with the blanket.Something shifted quietly in her chest.Gabriella looked down at the blanket again before quickly shak

Second Place

The words lingered heavily in the office long after Dennis said them.“You’ve always been the better brother.”Silence followed immediately after.A thick silence that settled into every corner of the room.Gabriella stood frozen beside Alexander, painfully aware of his arm still wrapped firmly around her waist.Dennis held Alexander’s gaze for another second before finally exhaling quietly.Then, just like that, some of the tension left his expression.Almost like he regretted saying it at all.“Well,” he said lightly, forcing a faint smile back onto his face. “That got dramatic fast.”Nobody laughed.Gabriella’s heartbeat still felt uneven.Dennis glanced toward her briefly this time.The look wasn’t flirtatious.If anything, it almost looked apologetic.Then he straightened fully.“Anyway,” he continued casually, “congratulations on the deal.”Alexander’s expression remained unreadable.Dennis shoved one hand into his pocket.“And congratulations on the wedding, too.”His eyes flic

Sweet Agreement

Gabriella stood in front of the mirror as she pulled her hair into a tight ponytail. Her mind wasn’t on her appearance. It kept drifting to the strange reality of the day ahead.Alexander and Gabriella were going cake tasting for the wedding.That alone felt strange to think about.The driver pulled to a stop at a private studio tucked away from the city’s noise. Gabriella stepped out first, smoothing her dress unconsciously.Then Alexander came up beside her.It wasn’t a bakery in the casual sense. It looked more like a curated experience space. Soft lighting, marble counters, and glass cases displaying carefully designed cakes like art pieces instead of food.“Good morning, Mr Kingston. Miss Whyte,” the planner, greeted them warmly. “We’ve prepared everything for your tasting session.”Gabriella nodded politely, still adjusting to the idea that this was actually happening.Alexander gave a brief acknowledgment.They were led to an aisle of cakes and pastries.At the table, samples
