The News

Serena POV I worked at my desk, trying to keep my attention on what was in front of me, but my eyes kept drifting toward my phone and I glanced at it a couple of times, hoping to see a message from my man because that was what he was to me, my man.I would call him that without hesitation, even if I was still trying not to be too obvious about just how deep my feelings for him had become.I hadn’t heard from him yesterday, and because I was trying not to come on too strong, I had been doing my best to keep my distance.I didn’t want to smother him with my obsession or make him feel like I was constantly hovering around him but if I had things my way, I’d be at his place every single night.I hated my mattress not because it was old or lumpy, but because he wasn’t lying beside me.I had become addicted to his presence in a way I hadn’t expected and I only slept so much better whenever that strong man was beside me.There was something about having him there that made it easier to comp

The breakup

Serena POVAdrian knocked even though the door was unlocked.“It’s open.” I sat on the couch, feeling more uneasy now that he hadn’t just walked in like he usually did.He stepped inside, wearing a long-sleeved maroon shirt that was nice over his muscles. His black jeans were low on his hips, and he wore one of his nice watches on his wrist. He shut the door behind him quietly then stared at me.Something was wrong and I could feel it.I got to my feet and walked up to him, my lips aching for his even though he wasn’t in the best mood, I rose on my tiptoes and kissed him anyway.He kissed me back....but it was cold.I leaned back and stared at him, feeling my heart start to pound with fear. This man had only been back in my life for a few months, but he became an extension of me, a part of my soul. When I was confronted with the real possibility of losing him, it made me so fucking scared. “What’s wrong?”He continued to stare at me with those dreamy eyes, his jawline covered with a

Breakdown

Serena POV I called in sick for a few days because I was so distraught.I felt like a high school girl who’d had her heart broken for the first time. It was the end of the world.I cried on the couch then in bed. Tissues were piled up everywhere. I ditched the makeup because I would just ruin it. After I let all the sadness pour out of my chest, I finally went back to work.I worked at my desk and took care of the emails I’d ignored the last few days. I caught up on my paperwork. I normally listened to the radio in my office, but now every song made me feel worse.If I could write a song, it would be the saddest of all breakup songs.Aurora stepped into my office, and she probably already knew Adrian dumped me. “Feeling better?”I stared at her blankly, surprised she would ask me that like it was no big deal.She must have read the horrified expression on my face. “Because you were sick…”I totally forgot I’d ever said that. “Oh…yeah. I’m getting there.” It was hard to look at her an

My confession

Adrian POV Draven and I were friends again, and the pain that had been haunting me for so long had disappeared. He was my family again, a piece of me that had been restored but I was also miserable.I made the right decision when I went to her apartment and ended our relationship. It wasn’t easy to cut out something so good, but it was the best option. What kind of man would I be if I didn’t?Selfish especially because not only her will be affected but Noah.I thought about her a lot, especially when I was in bed alone. I missed her beside me, and there were times when I reached for her in the middle of the night. When I didn’t feel her, I shot up in bed…devastated.Draven stepped into my office. “How about the four of us get dinner tonight?”“The four of us?” I turned away from my computer and stared at him as he stood in my doorway.“My woman and yours.”I hadn’t told him what happened because I didn’t want to talk about it but I couldn’t keep it a secret forever. I was surprised S

Rylan visit

Serena POV It was a rough couple of weeks. After I had cried until I had no tears left, I eventually became numb and I didn’t feel angry anymore.I didn’t feel sad or even feel like crying, I just felt…nothing.It was almost worse than the tears because at least when I was crying, I knew what I was feeling. Now, there was just this emptiness inside me that I couldn’t seem to shake.Noah was with his nanny, and thankfully, he didn’t seem to worry about me. He was taken care of, which meant I didn’t have to force myself to put on a brave face for him. I didn’t have to pretend that everything was fine when it wasn’t and honestly, I was glad.I didn’t think I could handle pretending, I tried to convince myself that Adrian didn’t mean anything to me.I repeated it over and over in my head, hoping that if I said it enough times, I would eventually believe it, maybe it had only been lust or I had confused attraction with love because everything between us had felt so intense and I hadn’t kn

I miss you

Serena POV Rylan eyes narrowed in offense. “I’m in love with you, aren’t I? A real man isn’t afraid to feel shit. Your guy is a pussy and he’d rather waste his time on women who will never mean anything than actually have the real thing.”Rylan intense gaze burrowed into mine. “I want to take care of you and I want to provide for you. I want you to live in that big-ass house with me. I want you to take my money and buy pretty things. Why waste your time out here when I can give you everything you want?”Adrian broke my heart so much that settling actually sounded nice. I knew Rylan words was sincere, and he would probably help me move on from Adrian and he didn't mind that I have a child.Being single sucked and most of the guys I met were losers, and the one I actually liked was a player who ripped me to pieces. Could I ever put myself out there again?Rylan studied my expression like he hoped I would finally give him what he wanted but I picked up my clutch and fished out the cash

Her Message

Adrian POV “I can do half a billion by noon tomorrow.” I rested against the leather seat of the booth, a new client sitting slightly across from me.Draven was there too, positioned on the other side of the round booth. “Really?” the client asked. “By tomorrow?”I nodded. “If that’s the truth,” He said, “you boys got yourselves a deal.”My phone vibrated on the table, and I quickly glanced at it in case it was something important but it was from Serena. 'I miss you."I stared at it for a long time, blood draining from my face. “Can you do more?” The client asked but I didn’t even notice he’d spoken.Draven interceded on my behalf. “Let’s start small and work our way up then meet us in the office tomorrow.”“You know I don’t like to show my face in public,” The client said.“We’ll work something out over the phone, then.” Draven shook his hand before he nudged me in the side and I snapped out of it then shook his hand before he slipped out of the booth.I let my phone screen go dark a

Stay Calm

Adrian POV I descended into the lair where the crown syndicate operated in plain sight.Pedestrians walked past the building, assuming it was an old factory that may or may not be in operation. The police knew where it was and always avoided the streets surrounding it but with a few men, I got past security and descended to the bottom floor, where the crown syndicate preferred to linger with their booze and women.All the men at the tables glanced at me when I entered, their laughter dying away when they recognized who I was. Women sat on the laps of the generous tippers, their tits hanging out in their barely there clothing.Ivan sat on the wooden throne, skulls carved into the black wood, his knees far apart and his slouched frame sunk into the large chair. His elbow was on one armrest, and he stared at me with a sense of boredom.I dropped my bag of money on the ground and my men did the same.It was dead silent as Ivan stared at me, all the men holding their breaths to see what

Rylan appearance again

Serena POV A week had passed since I’d stupidly texted Adrian and God, I seemed desperate but I was desperate…for one man. I could go back to find someone else, but that wasn’t what I wanted.I wanted Adrian....like always, I sat at my desk and let my thoughts drift into the past, when we’d made love on the couch while the fire burned in the hearth.I was on his lap, slowly riding his bare length as I looked into those intense eyes and I wanted to do that every night.“Sere?” Aurora stood on the other side of my desk, slowly waving her hand in front of my face.“Oh, sorry.” I snapped out of it, missing the heat of the flames the second I was pulled from the memory. “Where were you?”“You know…thinking about my grocery list.”Shry didn’t seem to believe me, but she didn’t call me out on it. “How have you been?”“Good…good.”She lowered herself into the chair. “Honestly, you look just as pale as you did three weeks ago.”It’d been three weeks? It felt like a day. It felt like he’d just

The Dinner

Serena POVI got to pick the restaurant, so I chose somewhere casual....a small bistro a few minutes from my apartment.I didn't want anything fancy or overly romantic.I just wanted somewhere comfortable where we could sit, eat, talk, and hopefully get through the evening without making things more complicated than they already were.We sat across from each other at a small table near the window, sharing my favorite bottle of wine while we both ordered salads.The atmosphere was relaxed enough, and for a while, Rylan actually managed to keep the conversation light.He asked about work, complained about a few things of his own, and even asked what I'd been watching on TV lately. I played along, answering his questions and occasionally laughing at something he said but I knew it was coming.Eventually, he was going to ask about Adrian.I could feel the question waiting between us, even before he finally said it. "Did he text you back?"There it was and I lowered my eyes to my wineglass
