Annoyed at Myself.

Morning light filtered through the curtains. The smell of breakfast pulled me awake, warm rice, eggs, miso, the faint salt of grilled fish. Samantha had already ordered for both of us. She sat at the small table near the window, posture careful, watching me the way someone checks if it’s safe to approach.The memory of turning my back on her last night hit immediately. Annoyance at myself rose hot and sharp. I pushed the covers aside, walked straight to her, and pulled her up from the chair into my arms.“I’m sorry about last night,” I said against her hair. “I lost my temper. That was on me.”Samantha shook her head, hands resting lightly on my back.“You didn’t do anything wrong. I know you meant well.”I held her tighter and let out a long breath.“I’ll do my best not to overstep. But if I’m left with no choice and have to decide on my own, I will.”She leaned back just enough to look at me. A small smile appeared.“That’s something I can

Something's Wrong.

The flight back to New York was quiet. By the time the car pulled into the underground garage at Sutton, the sky was already fully dark. The house lights came on automatically as we stepped inside. We dropped our bags in the hallway and went upstairs to get ready for bed, exhausted from the trip.Samantha’s phone buzzed on the nightstand.I watched her pick it up. The color drained from her face so fast that my stomach tightened. Her hands started shaking. She stared at the screen for another second, then stood.“I need the bathroom,” she said, already moving.I followed. The door locked from the inside just as I reached it. I turned the knob anyway.“Baby? What’s wrong?”Her voice came through the wood, thin and cracking.“I… I’m not feeling well…. Can you… pass me some napkin?”I stayed still for a moment, then softened my tone.“Baby, are you sure? Are you on your period?”I was already crossing to the drawer, pulling out a p

Opticon Evo's Opening.

Samantha and I spent the following days buried in preparations for the opening of her company. We checked every detail of the event, the guest list, the layout, the product launch sequence, the catering, the flow of the evening. The venue still smelled faintly of fresh paint and polished wood. I let her make the final calls on almost everything. My role was to use my contacts and make sure the pieces she chose actually arrived on time and in the right condition.The days moved faster than either of us expected. By the afternoon before the opening I still wasn’t fully satisfied. The lighting felt a little too cold. The floral arrangements looked sparse against the wide windows.“Baby, you sure that’s enough? We can buy more flowers, order more desserts and wine,” I said, frowning at the half-finished interior of the venue.Samantha signed off on the last delivery form, the pen scratching softly against the paper, and looked up with a calm smile.“That’s

Uninvited Guests Always Disrupt Everything.

The uninvited guests stopped at the center of the venue. They knew exactly how to draw every eye in the room. Conversations stuttered. Glasses paused halfway to mouths. The soft background music suddenly felt too quiet against the shift in the air.The moment I recognized them, I moved. Samantha stayed close behind me as I put myself between her and the group.“The audacity of showing up in a place you’re not invited,” I said, voice cold and clear.Victor, Leona, Sebastian, and Kylie stood there as if the launch belonged to them. Victor stepped forward with a practiced smile, the scent of his cologne cutting through the warmer air of the room.“Now, now, my dear. It’s my daughter’s company launch. We’re here to support her.”He tried to walk toward Samantha. I blocked him without raising my voice. The space between us felt tight.“Daughter? Didn’t you just disown her? Want me to play the video of you doing it?”Victor’s face tightened for a seco

She's Jealous.

Despite the brief disturbance from the Xaviers, the launch of Opticon Evo ended as a clear success. Guests stayed, conversations about the chip continued, and by the time the evening closed the company had already drawn serious interest from several potential partners.Samantha stood as the owner and Chief Chip Architect. The CEO position went to Luis Newforth, the man I had personally recommended, experienced enough to run the company day to day and steady enough to train Samantha while she grew into the broader side of leadership.The first formal meeting with the shareholders, board members, and executive team took place two days later in the main conference room. The long table filled quickly. The low scrape of chairs and the soft rustle of folders settled into silence. Cool air drifted from the vents. I sat slightly to Samantha’s right in the role of strategic advisor while Luis took the seat on her left. The polished surface of the table reflected t

She's Back to How she Usually Crave me.

I brushed a strand of hair from Samantha’s face and kept my voice low.“Tell me what you want.”She looked at me for a moment, cheeks already warming.“I want to try something else.”I reached into the drawer beside the bed and took out the soft black blindfold. Samantha watched me tie it carefully over her eyes, the fabric settling snug enough to block every bit of light. Next I guided her arms up and secured her wrists to the headboard with the silk ties we kept for nights like this. She lay naked against the sheets, breathing a little faster, completely open to me.I picked up the long, light feather.Starting at her collarbone, I dragged it slowly downward. The tip traced the soft inner curve of one breast, circled the nipple without quite touching it, then crossed to the other side. Samantha’s breath hitched. A faint shiver ran through her stomach. I continued lower, letting the feather skim the sensitive skin just above her navel, then along t

News After News.

Morning light spilled across the city in clean, bright streaks. Traffic already hummed along the avenues, horns short and distant, the usual weekday rhythm settling over New York. Inside Opticon Evo’s lab offices the air smelled faintly of coffee and warm electronics.I spent the first half of the day beside Samantha, sitting in on brief meetings, quietly steering a few conversations, making sure the new executives understood what she needed without overcrowding her. When the afternoon block opened I left her with Alicia and Luis and went out to lock down two more potential clients who had shown real interest since the launch.One particular day the calendar turned heavier.Caroline and I walked into the final divorce meeting together. Sebastian was already seated with his legal team. Kylie was absent, she had given birth only days earlier, and the lack of a third party kept the room focused. I took the chair farthest from him and kept my posture stra

Albert Wanted it Badly, He Gets it.

My heels cut through the silence of the SOT executive floor, each step sharp against the marble, and the sound seemed to travel farther than usual. Three days after the contract-breach headlines, the air inside the building felt heavier, almost stale, as if the whole place was holding its breath.I didn’t knock.Albert’s office looked like it had been through a storm. Papers littered the floor in uneven drifts. A glass lay on its side near the desk, the last of its contents already dried into a faint ring. Albert sat behind the desk looking older than I had ever seen him, dark circles under his eyes, tie loosened and crooked, shoulders slumped forward. Dennis stood to the side in the same state, jaw tight, eyes bloodshot, one hand flexing open and closed as if he needed something to break.I walked in, sat on the couch, crossed one leg over the other, and leaned back. Chin slightly lifted, I stared at Albert while the leather cushion settled under me.

Samantha's Hiding Something.

From SOT, I drove straight to Brooklyn. The Chinese place on the way still had the lunch rush going. The windows were fogged from the heat inside, and the smell of broth and sesame oil spilled out onto the sidewalk when the door opened. I ordered noodles, dumplings, and Samantha’s favorite milk tea, then carried the warm bags the rest of the way.When I stepped into the lab, she saw me through the glass wall, set down whatever tool she had been using, and came straight over. The smile on her face was immediate and bright enough to ease the last of the tension I had carried from SOT.“What did you bring me this time?” she asked, already leaning in for a quick kiss. Her lips were soft and familiar.“Passed by a Chinese restaurant. Noodles, dumplings, and your milk tea.”I unpacked everything on the coffee table. The warm smell of broth and ginger filled the small office space, chasing out the usual faint scent of electronics.“That smells amazing.” S

Kylie Knows Something.

In the days that followed I noticed how often Samantha left for meetings outside the company. The calendar blocks were vague, the locations always off-site. Part of me wanted to ask. Instead I chose to trust her and kept the questions to myself.At the same time Lawrence contacted me about MagentaX’s expansion in New York. Everything was already in place, a 26-floor building near Fifth Avenue, purchased and cleared for occupancy, renovation plans waiting only for my final approval. I went to inspect it myself. The lobby smelled of new sealant and dust. The structure was solid, the floor plates clean, the location strong enough to carry the name. For now the expansion would stay quiet; no public announcement, no press.Afterward I walked along Fifth Avenue with no real destination. The sidewalk was warm under the sun, crowded with the usual mix of tourists and locals. That was when I saw her.Kylie moved down the street as if it belonged to her. A
