"Try to stay upright long enough to fall onto another couch." "I'll try not to push you on your way down."

The new intern had a habit of calling my husband "Daddy." "Daddy, I am having the worst luck today. Could you please go buy me some feminine products?" "Daddy, I cannot get the zipper on my dress unstuck. Can you help me?" "Daddy, why do you not have my hair tie around your wrist? I think you deserve a punishment. Wear two. Pink ones, okay?" I frowned as irritation simmered beneath the surface. My husband waved it off with a casual smile. "She is just being playful. Do not take it seriously. She is young and enjoying the novelty. She will get over it soon enough." I said nothing. I waited until the night of the company’s annual gala. She suddenly stumbled in front of everyone and fe

The stone floor loomed closer, an unforgiving surface that promised nothing but pain. As she fell, Hara’s mind raced with a frantic clarity, each moment stretching into an agonizing eternity. Her legs, weakened by shock and fear, gave way entirely, and she was propelled backward through the chilling air. The fall seemed endless, a nightmarish journey that culminated in a bone-shattering impact. The collision with the floor was brutal and immediate. Hara’s body hit the stone with a jarring force that sent a violent tremor through her entire frame. The sickening crack of her head striking the ground reverberated through the cold night, leaving her dazed and disoriented.

Her eyes red. Exhausted. Heartbroken. "He fell." Jessica stared. "What?" The answer sounded ridiculous. Impossible. Henri wasn't climbing mountains. He wasn't skydiving. He wasn't doing anything remotely dangerous. "He fell down the stairs." The explanation felt wrong. Not because it couldn't happen. Because it didn't fit. Nothing about it fit.

But even as I fall I hear myself speak. Not clearly. Not fully conscious. Just one word.

"Zachary really fell for you at first sight, huh? You must have some crazy charm. "He fell in love instantly, and you believe love grows with time. You two are perfect for each other. But now I know— his love at first sight had long since faded. Time had worn it down to nothing but indifference.

My mind was so full of him—his presence, his power, the way everything had changed because of him, the way he was effortlessly arousing me—that I forgot to watch my step. Bad luck struck at the worst moment. The janitors had just cleaned the floor. It was wet, if not full of water, and slippery. The moment my foot touched the edge of the staircase, I lost my balance. My body tilted forward. I slipped, crashing down the steps. My limbs flailed, my clothes soaked in the soapy water as I tumbled down, swimming through the watery stairway all the way down. The world blurred. Pain exploded through me with each hard impact against the staircase.

Harden immediately turned to her while Adele quickly stood up. “What are you guys doing?” She asked for Adele to quickly shake her head. “Nothing honey,” Harden said for Zia to sigh. “Zayn fell and he peeled his knee,” she said with no emotions. “Fell?” Adele quickly rushed out while Harden looked at his daughter. “You don’t look sad your brother fell and peeled his knee.” He said for Zia to shake her head. “It’s an accident, it’s called a domestic accident.
