Chapter Eleven - Unexpected Visit

Both of them turned toward the wall monitor near the doorway. The camera display showed an elegant woman standing outside the door. Devian turned slightly to glance at the screen, his attention momentarily distracted. 'Mom?' Seeing he was off guard, Vanessa seized the opportunity. She ducked beneath his arm, snatched her phone off the side table, and quickly slipped it into her bra, hoping he hadn't noticed. He had. The corner of Devian's lips twitched in dark amusement. Vanessa looked away instantly, her cheeks burning with intense embarrassment. She desperately wanted to sprint out of the suite, but her job was on the line, she hadn't even finished cleaning his room yet. Devian straightened to his full height, pushing himself away from the table. He turned back and took a slow, deliberate step toward her. "Really?" he murmured, a low smirk spreading across his handsome face. "And you think I won't just take it back?" Vanessa’s eyes widened in sheer shock. 'He wouldn't

Chapter Twelve - Slept Together

Having finished her cleaning duties, Vanessa found herself hopelessly trapped inside Devian’s master bedroom. She couldn't leave, not with the muffled sound of heated arguments echoing from the living room. 'It sounds like he and his mom are quarreling...' Even though every instinct screamed at her to still leave, she didn't dare risk it. She had heard rumors about Victoria Ashford—a woman just as strict, commanding, and intimidating as her son. "If I try to sneak out, I might get fired for disobeying him. But if I stay out there, I'll run straight into his mother," Vanessa muttered, letting out a frustrated sigh. "What am I supposed to do?!" Unable to risk losing her job, she gathered her cleaning supplies and set them neatly by the bedroom door, deciding to wait for Devian to return. She paced around the grand suite, looking to get herself busy. Her eyes landed on the massive king-sized bed. She walked over and carefully sank onto the edge of the mattress. Her eyes close

Chapter Thirteen - Flashback

"Vanessa," he called her name again. Still nothing. He gently shook her shoulder, but she didn't even stir. Devian let out a low sigh. "That exhausted?" For a moment, he considered waking her again to send her back. Instead, he reached down, carefully slipped off her shoes, and pulled the plush duvet over her small frame. As he went to stand up, he suddenly lost his balance. Trying to pull back, he found himself falling lightly over her. Looking down at her hand, he realized she had already reached out and taken a tight hold of his shirt in her sleep without him noticing. He tried to push himself up, but her grip on his fabric was surprisingly unyielding for a girl her size. "Please... don't.." Vanessa whimpered softly in her sleep, tears silently leaking from the corners of her closed eyes. Her eyes fluttered. He gently reached out, his thumb catching a stray tear before cupping her chin. "I'd love nothing more than to sweep you away from all of this right now, but you'r

Chapter Fourteen - The Kiss

Chapter 14 She held breath as her eyes slowly shifted downward. A thick, muscular arm was wrapped securely around her waist, pinning her to the mattress. Her heart instantly hammered against her ribs. 'Who is this? Where am I?!' She inhaled a sharp, quiet breath. As she took in her surrounding. Memory flooded back in a rush, she remembered waiting for her boss to return before deciding to take a five minutes nap. 'He must be furious with me. I'm so fired' On the other side of the bed, Devian was lying quietly, wondering what Vanessa was doing. He knew she was awake, but she hadn't made a sound or movement yet. 'Hold on' Suddenly, the terrifying truth hit her. 'This is my boss's suite... but whose arm is holding me?!' Her heart skipped a beat. 'No. It can't be. Then who could it be?' Sucking her bottom lip between her teeth, she closed her eyes and began to turn over slowly, praying she wouldn't wake whoever was lying behind her. But the moment she turned fully and her eye

Chapter Fifteen - He's so shameless

[ The Brown Residence ] The sprawling house was unusually quiet. With everyone away, Mira had the entire place to herself. She was out in the backyard, enjoying the peace of the swimming pool. The warm afternoon sun reflected across the surface of the water as she swam effortlessly from one end to the other, completely lost in her own world. Surfacing at the edge, she pushed her wet hair away from her face, took a deep breath, and dove back under. She had been swimming for over an hour, completely unaware of a particular presence, watching her intently. Ethan stood just inside the glass patio doors, his arms folded across his chest. His gaze remained fixed on Mira, admiring her, though his mind was miles away. He hadn't originally planned on coming over, but he hadn't been able to help himself. He had tried every approach to get close to her lately, but she refused to yield. His thoughts kept returning to how cold she had been, the deliberate distance, the constant avoidance. He

Chapter Sixteen - The Project

Vanessa gave a reluctant nod. Releasing her hands, Devian slowly stood up, walked around the couch, and settled onto the cushion right beside her. Vanessa instantly sat up straight and turned her face away while massaging her numb wrists, desperately hiding the blush burning across her cheeks. Devian’s smile widened, fully aware of the effect he had on her. Panicking, she scrambled to her feet. "I'll... I'll go get your dinner ready!" He shook his head smoothly. "There’s no need for that. It's already been taken care of. Let's go." Standing up, he walked around to face her and held out his hand. Vanessa hesitated for a brief second before gently placing her palm in his. He closed his fingers around hers and led her out of the room. As they walked down the quiet hallway, Vanessa's mind raced with anxious thoughts. 'I am so fired.' Then another thought crossed her mind, leaving her even more confused. 'Why is he being so cool about all of this? And why... why is he still holding my

Chapter Seventeen - Hiding me From His Mom

They had both started eating, though, of course, not without Devian practically forcing Vanessa to sit down and take a plate. She sat directly across from him, eating slowly while looking thoroughly uncomfortable with the entire situation. She wasn't used to sitting down for a proper dinner at home, let alone sharing a meal with a man like him, especially when she was supposed to be working. "Where's your phone?" he asked casually. Vanessa immediately shot him a sharp, guarded look that practically screamed, I don't trust you. Devian couldn't help but let out a low laugh. "I don't bite." He paused, seeing that she still refused to answer. "It's fine if you don't want to hand it over." She simply nodded, no longer bothered by the question, and turned her attention back to her plate. She had to admit, this was the best food she had eaten in days... or maybe years. She stayed focused on her meal, savoring every bite and the rare feeling of being full. For a while, silence settled ove

Chapter Eighteen - Her Father's Return

Chapter 18 Vanessa paused, holding her breath and silently praying she wasn't the one being addressed. She stood frozen near the foyer, awkwardly caught between sprinting out the front door or turning back to pretend she hadn't heard a thing. Her heart hammered wildly against her ribs as she slowly turned her gaze toward Mrs. Ashford. "I'm talking to you," Mrs. Ashford stated, her voice sharp as glass. "And when I do, you answer." Mrs. Ashford turned to face her fully. Vanessa swallowed hard. Victoria's face was completely void of emotion—no warmth, no pity, only a chilling, analytical glare as her eyes traveled slowly over Vanessa from head to toe. "Who are you, and what are you doing here?" "Umm..." Vanessa attempted to speak, but her vocal cords completely locked up. She opened her mouth again, but no sound came out. It was as if her brain had shut down under Mrs. Ashford's overwhelming gaze. Desperate, her eyes flicked toward Devian, silently pleading for help. "Madam, I...

Chapter Nineteen - His Kourtney

[That Same Night — Devian’s Penthouse] After dropping Vanessa off at her home, Devian returned to his suite. He had spent most of the drive thinking about everything that had happened. This time, he wasn't going to stay quiet. The elevator doors slowly opened, and Devian stepped out. His eyes immediately fell on his mother, who was still sitting comfortably in the living room with her phone in her hand. She looked completely relaxed, as though nothing unusual had happened earlier. Devian didn't stop. He simply walked past her. “Devian.” Her voice followed him. He stopped. For a moment, he remained with his back towards. His mother lowered her phone and studied him carefully. “Let's get straight to the point."she paused." I've known you for years,” she said. She placed her phone beside her and stood up. “Actually, crap that.” She began walking towards him. “I gave birth to you. I raised you. I know exactly what kind of person you are.” She stopped a few steps away from him.

Chapter Twenty - Lost in thoughts

[University of Sydney — Library]Mira remained inside the library long after lunchtime had passed. She had spent almost her entire break sitting at one of the study desks, staring blankly at the open book in front of her barely turning the pages. Finally, she sat up with a heavy sigh, her fingers running through her hair as her thoughts drifted back to the disaster from earlier that morning. As the leader of her group, Mira was responsible for managing their project. Their assignment was to build a secure web application—one that featured user authentication, ballot casting, and real-time result tabulation.Everything had been going perfectly. In fact, they were already ninety-five percent done with the project. Then her sister just had to ruin it.Her laptop had been destroyed when she returned home one afternoon, and because she had forgotten to back up the files, weeks of hard work had vanished in an instant.She could still remember the look on her teammates' faces when she confe
