SHE SET MY HOUSE ON FIRE.

Chapter 41Endora's POVThe knock on my door made a smile bloom on my face as I moved toward it and pulled it open.The moment my eyes landed on who stood before me, my smile vanished."Hi, can I come in?" Celine asked, her smile never quite reaching her eyes.I gave a small nod and stepped aside enough to let her in.Her gaze swept across the room before settling on me. "To think this used to be my favorite room whenever I visited Dylan," she said, and my lips pressed into a thin line."Is there something you're here for?" I cut to the chase. For a fleeting moment, I'd almost hoped it was Dylan at the door instead.She brushed her fingers through her hair, smugly. "I thought you'd have figured out what I actually want," she said with a short laugh.My brow furrowed. "I don't understand," I murmured. Oh, who was I kidding—I understood perfectly well what she was getting at.She arched an eyebrow. "I believe we women are smart. It saddens me to know Dylan's found a woman, but since I d

TODAY, I'M NOT ACTING LIKE THE HERO.

Chapter 42Endora’s POV I stormed into the mansion. “What are you doing...” The maids tried to restrain me, but I shoved one aside until I finally reached the living room. My aunt, Mia, and even Jace sat sipping tea as though they hadn’t just shattered my life into fragments. My fists clenched into a tight fist. “Well, look who we have here. Come, have a seat,” my aunt mocked, gesturing at the floor."I don't have any reason for a pointless conversation. I want the documents of my grandma and my parents’ gravestone handed over, and I will pay you the money,” I said with a straight face. My aunt’s eyes widened briefly, but she quickly masked it before rising to her feet. “Must feel good to be wealthy now, right?” Mia countered, glaring at me. My sharp gaze pinned her. “I believe I haven’t addressed you yet, so keep your pathetic words to yourself,” I spat. Her mouth gaped. She moved closer, ready to pounce. “Are you speaking to me like that?” Jace held her back, and I his

I LIKE BEING INTIMATE WITH YOU.

Chapter 43Endora's POVI bit my lip while staring at him. "You really don't have to—" His finger pressed against my lips, silencing me.I blinked hard as he leaned closer. "You aren't going to tell me what to do, Dora. Today, I won't stand by and watch my woman get bullied," he said with a straight face.My heart skipped at his words. "I know, but Dylan…" I paused, my throat working. "This is fake, isn't it? What happens when the contract ends? I don't want to—" The rest of the words lodged in my throat like stones.At that moment, he pulled me into his embrace, his fingers brushing through my hair."What if we make it real?" His words made my head snap up to meet his.Our gazes locked. "What do you mean?" I asked, hoping he would say I had misheard him.A small smile tugged at his lips. "What if we stop this from being fake?" he repeated. My toes curled, and I chuckled dryly."Umm… couples are meant to love each other, and I don't think we have such feelings," I blurted before I cou

I DON'T WANT TO MISUNDERSTAND HIS FEELINGS.

Chapter 44Endora’s POV “I don't think I have any reason to be involved in your relationship with him. If he wants you, then it's fine by me,“ I said, my fingers curling into a tight fist. She smirked. “Okay then,” she murmured. Without a second glance, she turned and walked out. As soon as the door slammed shut, a sharp breath escaped my lips. I stared into the emptiness until the shrill sound of my phone snapped me back to reality. Moving to grab my phone, my gaze froze on the name flashing on the screen. Dylan. I didn’t take the call until it dropped and a message appeared. “I have a business trip. Would you like to come with me?” The message twisted my stomach. Without sending a response, I dropped my phone. I walked into the shower, changed into fresh clothes, and made my way downstairs. I had barely gotten down when I heard the familiar voice. Danny. He rushed towards the stairs, his steps faltered as he breathed heavily. "What the heck is going on with yo

DITCH ME TO BRING YOUR WOMAN ALONG.

Chapter 45Endora's POVMy lips pressed together. "Not interested." Dylan's voice cut through the silence, making me furrow my brow as I wondered what they were talking about."Would you come with me?" His voice echoed again, snapping me back.The corners of my lips lifted slightly. "Yeah, I will," I murmured in a low voice. The other end fell quiet before he hummed."Why? You'd ditch your friends for a woman? Sometimes I can't believe you're the same person, Dylan." This time, a male voice vibrated through the line.My face flushed as a tiny sigh of relief washed over me. It seemed they were not alone.Then a thought slipped into my mind, just before he could end the call. "Umm, Dylan," I whispered, and he still caught my words."Is there a problem? Don't worry, I'll be home—""Aren't you going out to have fun with your friends?" I asked, swallowing hard."It's just dinner, nothing important," he replied calmly.Damn me, I felt foolish about the words on my tongue, but they escaped a

MY SAVAGE COMEBACK

Chapter 46Endora's POVDylan slowly poured juice into a glass. "Last I checked, I never told you guys not to bring your lovers. Did I, Celine?" he asked, extending the glass toward me.I gave a small smile and accepted the glass with a quiet thank you. Suddenly, Julian cleared his throat."Not now, please. You're both adults, and Celine is just stirring the pot, as always," Julian said with a low chuckle."But I don't want anyone doing such around my woman," Dylan cut in with a straight face.I shifted awkwardly. At that moment, my eyes met Celine's, and she hurled daggers at me with hers.The last man clapped his hands. "Well, let's drop the subject. I'm Zeke," he said, offering his hand for a handshake.I set the glass down and was about to shake his hand when Dylan drew my hand back. "No need for formality, Zeke.” He said flatly.Zeke gasped, glaring at him. "So possessive, huh? Anyway, I'm Celine's brother, so I hope you don't mind this awkward gathering. Trust me, it's not alway
