When Loved Ones Turn

Cleopatra’s eyes widened for a split second just a flicker before she ripped her hands away as though burned.“Did Calvin put you up to this?”She shot to her feet, her chair scraping harshly against the floor.“Let’s not have this discussion again.”Katie stood up too, panic rising in her chest.“This isn’t about Calvin! What if Anthony hurts you?”Cleopatra let out a sharp, bitter laugh.“I’m not surprised this is coming from you.” Her lips curled into a smirk that didn’t reach her eyes. “The sister of a man who can’t even get over his own feelings.” Her voice dripped with venom. “It’s so irritating. He’s becoming a nuisance. Tell him to stop.”The words hadn’t even finished leaving her mouth—Smack.The sound cut through the air like a blade.Cleopatra’s head snapped to the side, her hand instinctively rising to her cheek, eyes wide with shock.Katie stood frozen, her chest heaving, her hand still suspended in the air trembling.She lowered it slowly.“He’s just concerned about you

Debt of the Dead

Cleopatra’s gaze flickered between them, tears threatening to spill. “Mrs. Emilia… I’m sorry… I’ll be careful with my words…”“What the hell are you still standing here for? Hop! Hop! Shoo! Shoo! Leave now!” Emilia barked.With trembling hands, Cleopatra lifted her luggage. Anthony reached for her, but Emilia shook her head, voice firm despite the quiver.“Anthony leave her be,” Emilia yelled.And just like that, Cleopatra was out of the house. She sank onto the curb by the bus stand, her luggage beside her, every heartbeat a drum of betrayal.She dialed Guinevere’s number, her fingers trembling, only to be met with a storm.“How dare you use words like that against my cousin! So you plan to send him to jail? Cleo, are you serious? Is this how you repay me? Don’t ever call me again!” Guinevere’s voice was sharp, unforgiving.The line went dead.Cleopatra’s chest ached, a hollow emptiness stretching through her. In a single day, the people she trusted the most had turned into strange

Holding On to Fragility

“This.” Cleopatra gestured vaguely. “Sitting here. Talking to a stranger like it’s supposed to fix anything.”“Maybe it won’t fix everything,” Julia replied. “But it might help you understand why it hurts.”That struck something.Cleopatra’s fingers tightened.“I’m not here because I want to understand anything,” she said, her voice sharpening. “I’m here because I made a promise.”“To Calvin?” Julia asked.Silence.Her gaze dropped for a split second before she scoffed. “He just doesn’t know when to stop.”“Yet you came.”Cleopatra didn’t respond.Julia leaned forward slightly, her tone still soft, but more focused now. “Tell me something, Cleopatra… When was the last time you slept peacefully?”A simple question.Too simple.Her throat tightened unexpectedly.“I sleep,” she replied quickly.“That’s not what I asked.”Her fingers dug into the armrest.Images flashed fragments she never wanted to see again. Voices. Fear. That suffocating, helpless feeling clawing its way back up her ch

A Love That Never Left

Cleopatra’s lips curved into a cheerful smile, and she squeezed his hand lightly. “I’m good, Cal.”A relieved breath escaped him, and Katie nodded, smiling faintly. “Great, then. I guess the medication and therapy are working.”“Yeah… ouch,” Cleopatra muttered suddenly, a small grimace crossing her face.Calvin’s eyes widened immediately, still holding her hands firmly, his concern sharpening. “What is it?” he asked, voice quick, almost panicked.Cleopatra gave a small, embarrassed shrug. “I… I want to use the restroom,” she said, trying to keep her tone casual.The moment the words left her lips, Calvin’s grip softened, but his eyes lingered on her with protective insistence. “Sure… go ahead,” he murmured, making sure she could move safely before releasing her.Even as she stepped away, he stayed close, his presence a silent shield ready to catch, support, or guard at a moment’s notice. In that instant, Cleopatra realized just how fiercely he cared, and a small warmth spread throug

The Chef and the Companion

Her fingers curled into his tie, tightening as she pulled him back to her. This time, she kissed him slowly and deliberately. The urgency softened into something deeper, something that lingered.Her lips traced his bottom of his lips to the top with a lingering finality, with quiet intensity, unhurried yet certain, as if sealing something neither of them could deny. When they finally stilled, their faces remained inches apart.Breaths mingled.Eyes locked.“I didn’t know you were such a good kisser,” Calvin teased, a sly smile tugging at his lips as he glanced sideways at her.Cleopatra froze.And then like a switch had been flipped her composure crumbled.Color rushed to her cheeks in an instant, spreading all the way to her ears as she turned sharply toward the window, refusing to say a single word.Calvin leaned back into his seat, completely at ease, one arm resting lazily as his grin widened. “Oh? Getting shy all of a sudden after that bold kiss you gave me?”“Stop saying it lik

Moments Too Intimate to Forget

Calvin dug in first, tasting it himself, and let out a small, amused breath that made the corners of his lips twitch.He watched her take the first bite, his gaze soft, almost searching, as if trying to read her thoughts. She chewed thoughtfully, and a faint crease appeared between her brows too salty for her taste.Her lips parted in surprise, and she looked at him with a mix of disbelief and amusement. “Ah… how come you ate it so naturally? It’s salty!”“It’s delicious because you made it,” he admitted softly, a small, honest smile tugging at his lips.She nudged him lightly, rolling her eyes with playful exasperation. “Is it that bad? Don’t eat it, I should make you instant noodles instead?”Calvin shook his head, his eyes warm as they met hers. “I’m happy to eat everything you make. If my stomach is full, I can save some for later but if you can’t eat it, I’ll have the maid make you another pasta.” He glanced down at his plate, smiling. “I can’t miss out on something so precious a

A Race Against Time

Inside the room, Anthony sat like a man who owned the air in the room, his posture relaxed yet commanding. The thin fabric of his singlet clung to his frame, revealing the sharp lines of his chest and the dark ink of his tattoo that trailed along his skin like a silent warning. The table before him was bare, no drinks, no distractions. Just him, waiting.Cleopatra stepped inside, her eyes darting immediately toward the table.“Is it the usual? Let me go get your tray ready,” Cleopatra said, her tone flat, already turning.“No,” he said, his voice low and decisive, cutting through the space. “Don’t stress yourself.” His fingers tapped the empty spot beside him on the sofa, slow and deliberate. “You won’t be serving today, just come sit here.”Before she could respond, the door swung open.Cleopatra’s gaze shifted as the soft roll of wheels filled the room. Ana stepped in, expertly guiding the tray inside.“Hi, Cleopatra,” Ana greeted lightly as she passed.“Hi, Ana.”The clink of glass

Control, Chaos, and Comfort

Instantly, Cleopatra’s hand shot toward the car door handle, yanking it but it didn’t budge. Her pulse hammered in her ears as she turned sharply to Anthony, eyes blazing with a mix of fear and fury.“What… what is the meaning of this?” she demanded, her voice trembling yet edged with steel, every word dripping with accusation.Anthony leaned casually against the steering wheel, but his eyes burned into her like they were reading every hidden thought, every hesitation. “So… you don’t want me visiting your apartment today,” he said slowly, deliberately, “What about another time?”Cleopatra’s jaw tightened, every instinct screaming. Her gaze darted to Calvin’s parked car. ‘Locked,maybe he’s upstairs.’Then she forced her eyes back to Anthony, trying to anchor herself.“You agreed a few minutes ago. You won’t force your way into my apartment. Let me out now,” she said sharply, trying to wrest back control of the moment.Anthony chuckled softly, a sound that slid under her skin. “Why so t

An Empire at Her Feet

“You aren’t doing anything at the company today?” Calvin asked, leaning casually against the doorway, a playful smirk tugging at his lips.Cleopatra rolled her eyes, a small laugh escaping her. “Cal, don’t remind me of my foolishness. I wasn’t supposed to come to work like regular workers.”“Of course… I didn’t know,” he said, feigning shock. “I was honestly surprised to see you here all week, and you only had that one photoshoot. Did that monkey not tell you?”“Leave Joss out of this!” Cleopatra shot back, laughter dancing in her voice.Calvin’s brow furrowed slightly, mock-serious. “Damn… what is he even managing? Should I replace him?”“No!” she yelled, then giggled.Calvin’s face contorted, his voice dropping a touch. “You… like him more than me?”Her laughter softened, warm and teasing. “Aww, my jealous big boy. You’re irreplaceable,” she whispered, leaning closer as if to seal her words with the sincerity in her eyes.Calvin inhaled deeply, then exhaled, a small smile breaking t

This Time, I Choose You

A transfer notification.One million Baymarks.Her grip tightened slightly. Slowly, she lifted her gaze to him.“What’s this for?”Calvin didn’t hesitate.“You said I was throwing money away,” he replied calmly, almost lazily. “Wouldn’t it be worse to throw it at strangers and not even spend a cent on you?”Her lips parted.But before she could speak.“I don’t want people’s gazes on you,” he cut in, his voice lower now, more serious. “I don’t want anyone looking at you and making you feel like you’re not good enough to stand beside me.”His hand moved across the table.Warm.Steady.He took hers in his.“I don’t want anything,” he continued softly, “that could make you doubt yourself.”For a moment—Cleopatra said nothing.The sharpness in her eyes faded, replaced by something gentler, something almost vulnerable.“Cal…” she called, her voice quieter now, slower.Then a small smile tugged at her lips.“Aww… you’re actually sweet,” she teased lightly, though her fingers curled around h
