Betrayal.

Chapter 1Alison’s PovTwo months earlier“I’m telling you, Ally, if Mr. Lucis asks me to rewrite that quarterly marketing report one more time, I’m going to lose my mind,” Julie groaned. Her heels clicked loudly against the concrete floor of the apartment complex hallway.She shifted a heavy stack of folders to her left arm and sighed as we walked toward the elevator.“He acts like we don’t have lives outside of the agency. He asked me to redo the proposal four times already. I’ve been staring at spreadsheets since eight this morning.”I offered her a half-hearted smile, adjusting the strap of my purse on my shoulder.“Look on the bright side,” I said. “The weekend is finally here, the campaign has been approved, and we actually managed to leave the office before dark for once.”Julie muttered something under her breath as the elevator came to a halt. The doors opened, and we stepped out into the hallway.“Barely,” Julie countered, though the tension in her shoulders eased slightly.

Not Enough For You

Chapter 2Allison POVI stared at Jake, searching for any shred of the man I knew, but all I could find in his eyes was a toxic mixture of loathing and resentment.A sickening realization settled in my chest. How long had he been harbouring these feelings? Had our entire relationship been a lie? Was I simply the punchline to his cruel joke?I stood frozen, my mind racing as I replayed every moment we had shared.Julie reached out, her hand light on my shoulder as she tried to pull me away.“They aren’t worth your breath, Ally. Let’s just leave.”But I couldn’t move. Not yet. I needed the truth, no matter how much it burned. I opened my mouth to demand an explanation, but he beat me to it.“You want the truth? Fine. Ruth and I have been seeing each other for over a year.”A year. The words echoed in my mind like a tolling bell of doom, drowning out everything else until the harsh reality of his voice dragged me back.“And don’t you dare start,” he snapped. I could feel my nails digging

Oh Sh*t

Chapter 3Allison POV“Are you sure about this, Ally?” Julie asked, brow furrowed with a flicker of genuine concern as she leaned across the table toward me. “I know you’re desperate to escape, but you and your mother aren’t exactly on the best of terms. Last I recalled, you two barely talk.”“I’m not certain, Julie,” I admitted, tracing circles on the table, trying to distract myself from my aching heart. “All I know is that I need a distraction.” My voice softened. “Maybe a change of scenery will be good for me.”Julie sighed, leaning back against the booth. “Isn’t she still on her honeymoon with her new CEO husband?”“She was,” I nodded. My mom, Sarah, recently remarried a wealthy man she met on Raya. They had just returned from a European honeymoon. I knew little about him, except that he was wealthy and he had a son. I planned to visit her during a week off to clear my head. Julie’s eyes twinkled as she demanded all the details about the new husband and son, and eventually decide

Stranger From The Bar

Chapter 4 Allison POV—-----MY stepson julian The name left my mom's mouth with a bright smile, completely unaware of the devastating weight those words carried. I tried to say something, but the words were cut off in my throat. A buzzing sound filled my ear. I could hear my heart beating in my chest. I stood there, not able to move, my fingers locking tightly around the strap of my purse.Julian The man that I had been dreaming about for months was standing right there looking at me. I echo his name in my mind, a cold sweat breaking out on my skin. That wasn’t the name I remembered. The name his friends had called him at the bar. He didn’t move; he simply stood there, his massive frame radiating a suffocating, arrogant aura that filled the entire room. In the light, intricate trails of the butterfly tattoo on the side of his neck looked stark, dark, and intimately familiar.Slowly, his amber eyes slid away from my mom and locked directly onto mine.The lazy, detached expression he

Caught RED Handed.

Chapter 5Julian (Simeon) PovAllison.Or, as I had known her for one unforgettable night: Red.Seeing her downstairs in the foyer, standing next to Sarah, had felt like a sudden, violent jolt to my system. I had spent the last two months trying to track down the sharp-tongued, captivating woman who had vanished from my bed before I woke up, leaving nothing behind but lingering scents of vanilla and cherry—a deadly combination—and a bruise on my ego.To find out she was the daughter my new stepmother wouldn’t stop raving about was a twist I hadn’t expected, but one I was absolutely going to exploreAllison choked out, her voice trembling as she tried to find her footing. She stepped slightly in front of her friend, a pathetic attempt at a shield. “What do you think you’re doing? “Sarah is on a call with my father, completely occupied,” I said, walking slowly into her space. The room was shrinking with every inch I closed between us. “And downstairs, I was playing by her rules. Up her

We Need To Talk

Chapter 6Julian POVThe knock on the door froze us both in place. Sarah’s cheerful voice filtered through the wood, light and completely unaware of the storm happening on the other side.“Ally? Darling, are you in there? I just wanted to check on you before I head down to the office with your stepdad!”Allison’s breath hitched sharply against my chest. Her hands were still fisted in my shirt, her body pressed tight between me and the door. I could feel her heart slamming against her ribs, matching the wild beat of my own. For a second, neither of us moved. The risk of getting caught made everything sharper, hotter, more dangerous.I leaned down, my lips brushing her ear. “Don’t make a sound,” I whispered, my voice low and rough.She nodded quickly, her beautiful blue eyes wide with panic. I kept one hand firmly on her waist, holding her steady, while the other stayed flat against the door. Sarah tried the handle once. Then twice. The seconds stretched out, agonizing and thick with ten

The New Guest

Chapter 7Ally POVMy feet felt heavy as I walked toward the dining room, my mind spinning as I replayed everything that had just happened upstairs. The heat of Julian’s hands on my waist, the rough urgency in his voice, and the terrifying sound of my mother trying the doorknob—it was all looping in my head like a nightmare I couldn't wake up from.When I stepped into the room, I immediately made eye contact with my mom. She smiled warmly the moment she saw me."Ally, sweetie! I came to check on you upstairs, but the door was locked," she said, her voice laced with gentle concern.My heart did a nervous flutter, but I forced my expression to remain completely blank. "Sorry, Mom. I was in the shower and didn't hear you," I lied smoothly, smoothing down the fabric of my dress.Before she could say anything else, Richard walked into the dining room. He went straight over to my mom, calling out her name with a smile before leaning down to give her a soft kiss. Turning his attention to me,

Under The Same Roof

Chapter 8Julian POVIf looks could kill, I would have been dead by now. And perhaps I already was, judging from the situation I had found myself in.Allison kept her face pinned to her plate, using her fork to play with her food. Now and then, she would lift her head and steal a glance at me when she thought no one was looking. I noticed her eyes flashing with a mixture of confusion, betrayal, and anger — the same person who had just denied me a few minutes ago.When her eyes finally met mine, embarrassment washed over her face. Her gaze practically begged me to look away.I didn’t.I couldn’t.I watched her as she tried to process everything that had just happened — the reality of me introducing Hollie as my fiancée. Although she was trying her absolute best to hide it so as not to ruin her perfect mask of the polite stepdaughter, I could see she was hurt. Which, in a way, made me a bit happy, because now I knew for a fact that she felt something for me.I let out a low chuckle, fina

Not Just Fun

Chapter 9Ally POVThe rest of dinner was a blur of survival. I managed to choke down a few bites of food, nod at the appropriate times, and force out a fragile laugh whenever Hollie made a joke about high-society wedding planning. Every second felt like a drop of hot wax on my skin, I couldn't stay here any longer. "I'm going to head up, Mom," I said, already on my feet before the words fully registered with her. "The headache I had earlier is coming back.""Oh, sweetie, go rest. I'll bring you some tea later," my mother said softly, her eyes full of maternal concern that made the guilt in my stomach twist into a tight knot.I didn't wait. I practically bolted from the dining room, my heels clicking frantically against the marble floor of the grand foyer. I took the stairs two at a time, needing to get behind the safety of my bedroom door before I completely lost my mind.Fiancée.The word was a physical weight crushing my lungs. How could he? How could he look at me like that upsta

Hmm..

Allison POVThe morning sun shone through the tall windows of the grand dining room like a physical assault. It was too bright, too cheerful, not at all daunted by the sensation of my chest being hollowed out with a rusty knife. I was so focused on the fine pattern of flowers on my teacup that I didn't notice the aroma or the taste of the hot tea. I was so absorbed in the intricate design of the flower pattern on my porcelain cup that I failed to smell the hot tea or taste it, even when I shook my fingers with a tiny tremor.I was drowning. A whirl of smells overtook me in the room, a sensory overload of freshly brewed espresso, luxurious pastries, and the sad, sinister weight of reality.Fiancée.I had been tossing it around in my head all night and had been unable to sleep. I had been tossing and turning, feeling the ghost of Julian’s touch as my sheets became a mess and my skin still tingled, the feeling of having his lawless, hungry mouth pressing against my lips as if he had alrea
