Box of diamonds

AdrianIf there was anything I didn’t want right now, it was ending my time with Emma abruptly. And it wasn’t just because of how much I wanted to take her right on that table, or because of how much I knew she was aching for me. Something in me just still wanted her around.And whatever it was, it made me speak before I could even think about it or stop myself. I was serious about it. I wanted her to come with me.She let out a loud chuckle, shaking her head. “You didn’t mean that, did you?”“The flight leaves in two hours,” I said, keeping my voice confident.“Wait…” She paused, her smile fading into confusion as she pushed my hand gently away from her jaw and placed it on her own hip instead. “Why would I come with you? There’s no way I’m doing that.”“Why not?” I asked, leaning a bit closer.“What would I be doing there? You’re going for a business meeting”“The same thing you came to do here. It’s not like I don’t have apartments in Dubai. We can fly over there together and it'll

Stuck with him.

EmmaI was curled up on the couch with Olivia in my living room back in San Francisco. She was sitting beside me, her eyes wide with excitement as she talked a mile a minute, recounting everything that happened after I left Spain.And when I say everything, I meant Hunter.“You sound like you’re in love with him now?”Olivia’s cheeks lit up with that pretty, rosy red color that seems to appear every time she hears Hunter’s name. She let out a small, nervous laugh and hid her face behind a couch pillow for a second before looking back at me.“To be for real, no. I like him but I’m not in love with him.”I narrowed my eyes at her and she let out a dramatic huff, tossing the pillow playfully at me.“I’m not joking around here honey. I can’t afford to love now. We only had a great time together.”“So that’s it?” I asked.Olivia shrugged, but she couldn't hide the smile tugging at her lips. “We promised to stay in touch, you know? Texting, calls, that kind of stuff. He’s back to his normal

Not Getting My Hopes Up.

EmmaI waddled toward the kitchen counter, my arms swaying to the sides from the weight of the two large grocery bags in my hands. With a small grunt, I dropped them onto the counter, letting out a deep breath. If there was something I hated the most, it was grocery shopping. I nearly cried this morning when I discovered I was down to the very last crumbs of food. Olivia had left my place a day ago to resume work, and now I was back to being on my own. The silence in the apartment was almost too loud. Just then, a soft chime came from my coat pocket. I pulled my phone out, a smile instantly tugged at the corner of my lips when I saw Adrian’s text on the screen. He had told me earlier he had a meeting to attend, was he done already?“Just left the meeting. It was so exhausting and I would give anything for a nice meal right now. Especially the kind only you can offer.” He ended it with a wink emoji.My cheeks burned up at his words and just as I was typing a reply, the doorbell ran

He belongs to someone else now

EmmaI gave a small, embarrassed nod, my face heating up even more than it already had. “Yeah. It started today.”I had walked through the whole grocery store earlier without feeling any pinch of pain. Talk about bad timing.Trevor’s eyes filled with deep concern. He immediately pushed the table aside and stood up. “Don’t move. Where do you keep your heating pad? Is it still in your bedroom closet?”“Trevor, it’s fine, you don't have to….”“Em, I know how bad your cramps get, especially the first two days,” he interrupted, already walking toward the stairs to go to my bedroom. “Just sit still, I’ll be right back.”I took off my coat and leaned back against the couch cushions, pulling my knees up to my chest as a dull ache spread across my lower belly.A rush of old memories flooded my mind as I watched him climb the stairs. When we were together, Trevor always took such great care of me every time I was on my period. He would drive to the store in the middle of the night just to get

Weekend Plans.

Trevor Allysia sat opposite me, leaning forward and holding her phone up to find the perfect angle as she snapped a few photos of the expensive dishes beautifully plated in front of her, while I sat back and watched her with a smile on my face.She looked so stunning tonight in an off-shoulder burgundy dress that showed off her smooth, flawless skin. Her blonde hair fell over her shoulders in soft waves, making her look perfect under the warm restaurant lights. We had been here for less than thirty minutes, and she had already ordered a twenty-five hundred dollar meal. She hadn't even liked the first two dishes that cost fifteen hundred dollars; she simply took a few pictures for her social media page and asked the waiter to take them away. I didn't mind at all. As long as it made her happy, the money didn't matter to me. Her happiness did.Allysia turned her phone toward me, a proud smile on her lips as she showed me her screen. “Honey, isn’t this perfect?”I was cutting into my

The Apology.

EmmaTrevor had been calling me every single day, and he had already come to see me three times this week. I just couldn’t seem to escape him. Except for that first surprise visit, he always asked if it was okay to come over before showing up. I could have easily lied to him and said I wasn’t home, but I never did. How could I, when I now found myself looking forward to seeing him every chance I got?A perfect example was today.It was finally Friday evening, and I stood in front of the full-length mirror, checking the fifth dress I’d picked from my wardrobe. It was a short pink dress with a bright flowery design all over it, but as I turned around, it didn’t look good enough to me. I wanted to look simple but pretty for our night out.Actually, I wanted to look perfect. After a few more minutes of pacing around my room, I finally settled for a white tank top and a pair of high-waist black boyfriend jeans.I had packed my hair into a messy ponytail earlier, but then I changed my mind.

A man who I enjoy sleeping with.

Emma“You know, we hanging out together,” I clarified, taking a small sip of my soda. “If Allysia finds out about this, she’s going to lose her mind, and I really don't want any more drama with her.”Trevor’s expression softened, and he stepped a little closer to me, shrinking the distance between us. “Don’t worry about Allysia. She doesn't have to know about everything I do. Besides, I'm just spending time with an old friend. There is nothing wrong with that, right?”I looked down at my soda can, my fingers tracing the cold metal. Old friend? He made it sound so simple and innocent, but the way he was looking at me felt like anything but a simple friendship. Or maybe I was just imagining it.“If you say so,” I murmured, looking back up at him with a small smile.“Come on, let’s go get some food,” Trevor said, his playful mood returning instantly. “Bowling always gets me starving, and I know a great spot nearby.”We left the bowling alley and drove to a small, cozy diner down the st

Allysia is cheating on Trevor?

EmmaIt was seven in the evening, and I had just finished the last bit of the heavy workload assigned to me for the week. I leaned back and yawned for what felt like the thousandth time today, my body aching from sitting in the same spot for hours. My stomach let out a loud rumble, reminding me I hadn’t eaten a thing since noon, and if there was one thing I was craving badly right now, it was a bowl of spicy Thai noodles and a chilled, large Dr Pepper.I let out a slow sigh and closed my laptop, lifting it off my lap and settling it on the coffee table in front of me. I reached for my phone on the table and checked my notifications, but there was nothing new.I had expected Trevor to be the first person to call me today, considering how attentive he had been all week, especially after our night out yesterday. But I hadn't called or texted him all day, and he hadn't reached out either. I couldn't help but wonder what was going on with him.I opened my messages and tapped on his name, m

The only way

Emma“She’s fucking cheating with a younger guy? I always knew she’s a slut. I always knew,” Olivia ranted, her voice laced with deep satisfaction. “Oh, karma is beautiful. I swear, it’s so beautiful.”“I’m still in shock. I mean, I knew she was a terrible person, but to do that to Trevor? Right out in the open? That's ew. It’s a shameless act and now I don’t know what to do.”“Who cares about that scum? He chose his path when he married her,” Olivia scoffed loudly. “But wait, tell me you took a picture. Please tell me you have a video of them eating each other's faces in public.”I bit my lip. “I didn't. I was so stunned it didn’t even cross my mind at all. By the time I realized I should have pulled out my phone, the cab she got into was already moving, and the guy was already driving off too.”“Emma!” Olivia groaned on the other end, sounding seriously pained. “Are you kidding me? That was your golden ticket! You could have ruined her life in five seconds!”“I know, okay? I know,”

The reveal.

EmmaTuesday had all my emotions in place because after good three days of going to that hotel area every day, I finally had solid and undeniable proof that would expose Allysia. I felt like the universe was on my side this time around.I had managed to see her with the guy the previous evening, which was the reason why I’d barely slept all night. He happened to be someone I knew. It was also someone Trevor knew too.It was Tom.Tom was a couple of years below us when we were in high school. Back then, Allysia was a nightmare to him. She never missed an opportunity to torment him, mock his clothes, or make his life miserable in the hallways. Seeing them together last night made my head spin. It was too much to take in at once. Not only did she cheat on Trevor, she cheated with a guy she hated the most back in high school.I looked down at the clear photos on my phone screen again, watching the way her hands rested against his chest while they laughed together. After everything she put
