Tom N Friend

It was my first time going to my boyfriend’s home for the New Year. In the middle of dinner, his childhood friend suddenly slammed her spoon on the table. “Cole, how could you bring a bar girl to our New Year’s Eve dinner?” The room fell silent. Everyone thought she simply had too much to drink. But she spoke with complete confidence. “One of my friends works on the vice squad. He arrested her himself. There’s no way he got the wrong person.” She threw a police penalty notice onto the table. My name was clearly printed on it. I was stunned. Last month, the city’s vice squad had arrested dozens of people. I was the one who approved and signed those cases. I had just taken office as bureau chief.

"แล้วเราจะอยู่กันแบบนี้เหรอ คือมึงตั้งใจจะเอากูไปเรื่อย ๆ แบบที่เป็นเพื่อนกันยังงี้เหรอ" "แล้วจะให้กูทำไง พี่มึงมันไม่ได้เพิ่งพูดหรอกนะ แต่มันพูดมาตลอดว่าไม่ให้ใครในกลุ่มยุ่งกับมึง!"

At our bachelor party, Harry Cole, my fiance and I played Truth or Dare with his friends. We spun the bottle, and it stopped in front of Joanna, a woman he had known since childhood. The dare was to do the deed with the person placed right next to you, and Harry had been sitting beside her the entire evening. Feeling uncomfortable, I quickly said, “Why don’t you just pick Truth instead of Dare?” Joanna, however, did not back down. She sent me a look full of contempt and replied, “Don’t be such a prude, Suzie. It’s not that big of a deal. If I don’t mind, why should you?” She then looked at Harry. “Do you mind, Harry?” Everyone around us started cheering them on. Someone said, “Suzie can’t have fun to save her own life. If Harry doesn’t want to, I will gladly do it. Pick me, Joanna!” I grabbed Harry’s hand and turned to leave, but he flung my hand off. “What about Joanna? She has no one to help her if I leave. We’re about to get married, Suzie. Can’t I have one last night of freedom?” After saying that, he pinned Joanna under him, and his friends just cheered even more. I stared at him and Joanna. At that moment, I no longer saw a future for us.

But after he graduated, when I was eight months pregnant, he divorced with me and married my best friend, Sarah. On their wedding day, I didn't cry or make a scene. Instead, I went to work as their housekeeper. Tom thought my love made me easy to control. Sarah treated me like dirt, thinking I was born to serve. I never complained – I just prepared a surprise for them. But when their daughter was admitted to Harvard, they opened the surprise and went crazy.

"Why did you leave the party in such a hurry earlier?" Ignoring her sarcasm, Kaleb changed the subject. He just had to ask! The audacity he had! Sasha smirked. "Did you want to enjoy seeing the girl you just a few minutes ago making a friendly chat with your girlfriend?" she snapped, her wound reopened. "Oh, so you left because of Claire?" Again, Kaleb's voice was mocking. "No, I left because of me," Sasha recoiled, and it was her stupidity sending him a text. "And what about you and Samson? I see the way he looked at you at the party. He seems to really like you and the both of you seem really familiar with each other. What do I make out of that?" Kaleb sounded different, odd even. —---------- When Kaleb Luthor decides to move back to the town he grew up in, Sasha Sullivan is bombarded with a lot of emotions.

"I just want to ask you one question before you walk away Hailey. How loud do you think you'll scream when I fuck you”? My name is Hailey King, and I’m living a lie. I’ve hidden the truth from everyone including my own brothers just to keep what I do and who I really am a secret. It’s not that I want to lie, it's just that I don't have a choice. I thought I was holding it all together, thought I was strong until I saw Jayden Knight last New Year’s Eve. He stripped me bare—emotionally and physically. Jayden is everything I want but everything I know I can’t have. We’ve known each other most of our lives, but I’ve kept my distance since I turned eighteen, because I knew deep down he was dangerous to my carefully built façade. And I was right. After that night we spent together, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about him or how completely he ignited something in me I didn’t know still existed. Now, I crave Jayden like he’s a drug I can’t quit… and that one unforgettable night still haunts me. But I'm in for a surprise the next morning.

Elle avait cru qu'elle finirait par s'habituer. À la solitude, au silence, à l'absence. Cinq ans à défendre un rôle qu'on ne lui avait jamais vraiment offert. Valeria De Santis traversait le mariage comme une ombre : deux nuits par mois, deux devoirs conjugaux expédiés sans une parole, sans une once de chaleur. Lui, Lorenzo Fontana, ne s'était jamais soucié de qui elle était. Il avait son obsession ailleurs : Bianca Rinaldi. Valeria l'avait toujours su. Elle avait choisi de se taire. La vérité ne lui parvint que lorsqu'elle était déjà hors d'atteinte. Valeria n'était pas restée par hasard. Quand le contrat arriva à son terme, Lorenzo s'empressa de rejoindre Bianca. Mais ce jour-là, Valeria ne se retourna pas. Elle referma la porte d'une voix lasse : « Lorenzo, je te rends ta liberté. » Elle ne lui demanda rien. Elle avait déjà fait le deuil de ce foyer sans âme, repris sa carrière, retrouvé son éclat. Elle remonta les pentes qu'on lui avait laissées gravir seule. Et quand elle atteignit le sommet, il n'y avait plus personne à ses côtés. Lorenzo, lui, se mit à la regarder. Son talent le fascinait. Il la voyait briller de loin, sans comprendre comment il avait pu passer à côté d'elle pendant cinq ans. Il ne savait pas qu'elle avait pleuré toutes ces années sans qu'il ne s'en aperçoive. Le regret vint trop tard. Valeria De Santis était devenue une femme que plus personne n'osait approcher. Inaccessible. Inégalable. Intouchable. Lorenzo tenta de revenir, de reconquérir ce qu'il avait négligé. Mais elle refusa, sans haine ni triomphe. Juste une immense fatigue. Il ne saura jamais qu'elle l'avait aimé, silencieusement, jusqu'à ce que le silence finisse par tout engloutir. Juste une porte définitivement fermée.
