Chapter 51: Abigail’s Father

Lila's POVThe next morning came too fast. I stood in front of the address Abigail had sent me, my heart beating fast. It was 9:30 a.m., and I had arrived early. The house was big but not overly flashy — modern with clean white walls, large windows, and a simple garden in front.I felt nervous, my hands cold even though the sun was warm. Last night with Jax kept playing in my mind — the way he touched me, the things he whispered, how good it felt to be close to him. Just thinking about it made my cheeks burn. I shook my head, trying to push the memories away.This wasn’t the time to think about that.I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. A moment later, an older woman in a neat housekeeper uniform opened the door. She looked at me with a polite smile.“Hello,” I said, my voice a little nervous. “I’m Lila. Abigail asked me to come here to work as a maid.”The housekeeper nodded and stepped aside. “Come in. I was told you would be arriving today.”I followed her inside. The house

Chapter 52 - The European Team

Miles’s POV I pushed open the front door of our house, the familiar smell of dinner hitting me as I stepped inside. My shoulders were still tight from practice, my muscles aching from pushing myself harder than usual in the pool. But no matter how hard I swam, I couldn’t get Lila out of my head. Her shy smile when she thought no one was looking. The way her voice got soft and hesitant when she was nervous. The way she tried so hard to be strong even when the world was unfair to her. It wasn’t just her body, though God knows I loved every soft curve. It was the way she cared so deeply about her mom. The way she’d blush and look down when we complimented her, like no one had ever told her she was beautiful before. The way she trusted us enough to let us close, even when she was scared. I missed her voice. I missed the little sounds she made when she felt safe with us. I missed how she made everything feel warmer, like the world wasn’t so heavy when she was around. I missed her. M

Chapter 53: TRAP

Jax's POVI tried calling Miles again. The phone rang and rang, but there was still no answer. I stared at the screen, my thumb hovering over the call button for the third time in the last ten minutes. It wasn’t like him to disappear like this. Miles was the reliable one — the calm, steady guy who always answered, even if it was just a quick text saying he was okay.Theo walked out of the bathroom, towel around his neck, and saw me pacing near the window.“Still no answer?” he asked, dropping onto the couch.I shook my head. “Nothing. He hasn’t come home since last night. I checked his room — bed’s untouched. This isn’t like him.”Theo leaned back, trying to look casual, but I could see the worry in his eyes too. “Come on, Jax, don’t worry too much. Miles probably went home to his parents or something. You know how his dad gets about the swim meets. Maybe they’re having one of those long strategy dinners.”I stopped pacing and leaned against the wall, arms crossed. “Yeah, it’s just… t

Chapter 54: An Unexpected Dinner

Lila’s POVI stood in the kitchen, stirring the soup on the stove while Mom chopped vegetables beside me. The smell of garlic and ginger filled the small space, warm and comforting. I stayed home, helping Mom with chores and trying to pretend everything was normal.Mom glanced at me as she slid the vegetables into the pot. “You’ve been home all day. Don’t you have class today?”I kept stirring, avoiding her eyes. “Ah, yes… I don’t have class today. And actually, there’s something I need to tell you, Mom.”She wiped her hands on her apron and looked at me with that gentle, worried expression she always had when she sensed something was off. “What is it?”I forced a small smile. “We can discuss it over dinner. It’ll be ready soon. Let’s just eat first, okay?”Mom nodded, though I could tell she wasn’t fully convinced. We finished cooking together in a quieter rhythm than usual. When everything was ready, we sat down at the small dining table. The soup smelled good, but my appetite was

Chapter 55: Quiet in the Living Room

Lila’s POV After dinner, Mom looked tired but happy. She hugged Theo and Jax goodbye, thanking them for the food and the company. “It was wonderful having you boys here,” she said with a warm smile. “Come back anytime.” “We will, Ma’am,” Theo replied, grinning. “Thank you for the best home-cooked meal I’ve had in months.” Mom went to her room shortly after, closing the door softly. The house grew quiet. I stood in the living room, the TV on low in the background, but none of us were really watching it. Jax and Theo were on either side of me on the couch, their presence making the air feel thicker. Jax leaned in first, his hand gently cupping my cheek. “I’ve been wanting to do this all night,” he whispered, then kissed me slowly. His lips were warm and sure, moving against mine in that deep, confident way that always made my knees weak. Theo’s hand rested on my thigh, squeezing gently. “You look so cute when you’re trying to be quiet,” he murmured, his voice playful. “But I bet
