In From The Cold Review Novels & Stories

Kelvin. But the moment I opened the door, I froze. Two large men in sleek black suits and dark sunglasses stood there. They were built like security guards or something worse. Their presence filled the small corridor like a looming shadow. "Good morning," one of them said, his deep voice echoing in the hallway. I instinctively took a step back. "Wrong address," I mumbled, starting to close the door. "Are you Miss Kayla Matthews?" the taller one asked. My hand froze on the doorknob. "Y-Yes," I replied cautiously.

Lucas was puzzled he couldn't believe he had slept with a total stranger, with his personality and all he found it strang and funny all together. Lucas has a cold personality, he is especially cold mainly to the female gender , thinking back in time, his father Mr Isaac lost his precious wife during childbirth while Lucas lost his mother at a very young age of five . Because of the experience he had to go through and also watching how his father was devastated at that period of time , that was when he said to himself that he wasn't going to have anything to do with the female gender because of fear losing something dear to him.

I say while he gestures for me to join him in bed. I get into bed and he instantly engulfs me in his embrace... Oh my Goddess, he's shirtless! How had I not seen that before? "Honestly April even I had not noticed it too, we were too worried about our mate." Snow says sadly. "Although, damn ! Our mate is one hot sexy male!" "And he's all ours." I say to her dreamily. The room is filled with his scent and I can't help but sniff him. I put my nose on the crook of his neck and then inhale his scent...

Two assistants followed behind him as he strode in with unmistakable urgency. The Cole family of New York high society. That name alone was enough to make every businessperson in the room rethink the balance of power. Ethan walked up to me. He did not look at Damian. He did not look at Evelyn. He only looked at me. Then he took off his jacket and draped it over my shoulders. The gesture was gentle, but everyone saw it. “Let’s go.” Only two words. I nodded. Before turning around, I looked at Evelyn. “Evelyn, I’ll remember every kindness you’ve shown me.

She replied and gave a small nod. I understood her answer is towards me not them. Is this coldness just because of me? I thought frowning. “Well looks like these both are perfect match indeed.” Dinesh said and they all laughed. After they all left I went inside my room to see her bags missing. I looked around and saw even the crib is missing. I heard a knock on the door and turned to see her standing folding her hands. She just glared at me but it has no affect on me. Like Dinesh said we really are perfect match indeed.

She sensed Kane’s influence in every decision, every whispered instruction, and yet she felt an unfamiliar thrill—this was the first real challenge in years. Lunch brought another test. The cafeteria, though modern and clean, was a subtle battlefield of hierarchy. Elena chose a table slightly apart from the clusters of employees, observing interactions, listening, and learning. A colleague attempted small talk, probing for weaknesses, but Elena navigated each question with ease, redirecting the conversation back to professional topics. Her reputation—already whispered among a few—began to solidify: smart, composed, unflappable.

“Don't you ever call out my name again you double timing bitch!” I scoff at her. “Darlene I'm sorry, I know I messed up big time.” She says, her eyes scrutinising and studying the five strange men in the office closely. “Geoffrey? Is that you?” She instantly freezes, eyeing from George to Geoffrey. She seems to recognise the three guys who presented the divorce papers to her but she remains mum. “Unfortunately for you and your husband, I survived.” Jeff growls as he advances towards her.. “It was his idea. Don't hurt me please.”

“Aaron, if you wanted proper protection, you should’ve come to me directly instead of picking someone from my team on your own. You know better than to handle this yourself.” Aaron pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaling slowly to keep his voice steady. “I didn’t have time to play middleman, Dad. Lily could’ve died today.” His father’s sigh crackled through the line. "Fine. I’ll send you the contact information for someone reliable. He’s an ex-Navy agent-highly trained, highly disciplined. If anyone can handle this, it’s him." His voice softened slightly with concern. "Aaron… what exactly happened? How bad was it? Is she okay? and why are you having Lily followed?"

“Purewater! Come now, don’t you want to sell me purewater, I want everything.” He said to her and she frowned before she walked slowly to his store, business was slow that day and she had not even sold much since morning and the cold sachet water was no longer cold. “It is not cold ooo.” She said to him.

Suddenly, Nicholas appeared amid the confrontation between Kimberly and Mario. Mario gave Nicholas a cold smile. "You don't need to know the details of our conversation, Mr. Delano." "Oh, really? But I'm sorry; you're bothering my woman tonight, so I have every right to interfere in anything concerning Kimberly!" Kimberly was taken aback by Nicholas's words. She never expected the Ice King to speak so warmly to Mario, especially considering they were practically strangers. Similarly, Mario felt a stark difference from their previous encounter at a restaurant where Nicholas had remained mostly silent, observing.
