Unlikely Duo Novels & Stories

No gap around it. Her pulse did something she ignored. “Why?” “Because you don’t agree with me until I’ve earned it.” He set his pen down. “Most people fold. They agree because it’s easier, because I’m a senior, because disagreeing with someone who seems certain feels risky. You don’t do that. You make me prove it first.” A beat. “That’s rarer than it should be.” She stared at him. “That’s a strange thing to value in a project partner,” she said.

He clicked his tongue. "I envy useless guys like you. You can survive anywhere. I can't, though. I can't even sleep if my bed's not made of velvet." I had nothing but a freezing glare for him. "Get out." That only made his smile bigger. However, the dark cruelty in his eyes shone in contrast against his grin. "It's not your fault you couldn't get Yvonne pregnant." My heart sank. "What do you mean?"

An unspoken understanding hung in the air—that this wasn’t the end. With one last lingering glance, Alex turned and walked toward the door, his hand on the handle. But before he left, he cast a look over his shoulder, his gaze filled with something unreadable, perhaps curiosity, or perhaps something darker. As the door clicked shut behind him, I exhaled slowly, the silence filling the room once again. But I knew one thing for sure—this was far from over. It was just the beginning of a dangerous, twisted alliance.

Trailing off, I searched for the right word. I finally found it, but so did he, and somehow, we ended up saying it in unison. “Electric.” “Right,” I said, feeling like I’d just been zapped by something electric. Kaden laughed and took another sip of his water, which made the sudden awkwardness I felt disappear. “It feels like there’s possibility around every corner.” “It’s been a long time since I’ve thought of it that way,” he admitted, a wicked gleam entering his eyes. “Just be careful. A lot of those possibilities have diseases or will ghost you the second they pull out.”

Leonid tilted his head with an arched brow, almost challenging me to back off. His pepper grey hair did wonders to him in this age and the perfect shade of medium green orbs and cupid lips. I could see why Nikita had heart shaped emojis in her dark brown orbs whenever she eyed him. "Leo, isn't this too much? Your friendship with the Italians could be at stake." Nikita murmured for only him to listen but, nothing saved her little comment. We all had heard it. The friendship could get discontinued however it won't end over me, because even if I tried to justify myself through this way, they'd forget about it sooner or later.

Her mother was a teacher and her father was part of the border protection team. “Was?” Mary interrupted. “Was.” Damon said sadly. “They were on a trip and were attacked by rouges.” “Rouges?” Mary interrupted again. “Rouges are wolves with no pack, outcasts, criminals. The longer they are on their own the crazier they go. We are meant to be part of a pack and do not do well alone.” “Humm.” Mary said sarcastically.” I have been alone my whole life and I do just fine, I am not crazy!”

"If you're single by the next time we meet then you have to give me your number. Deal?" I almost burst out in a maniacal laugh. He needed brain surgery done if he actually believed the crap he had just said. There was no way my relationship with Jack was going to end anytime soon and as for a second meeting, that was unlikely. Possible but unlikely as fuck. Sure that his deal was faulty in every way, I smiled and then said, "Sure. Deal."

“Mr. Sinclair , I advise to say nothing but the truth. Trevor cursed inwardly "She's Rachel Fae.. My ex wife" “Good, now are you aware that she would be married into the Blackwood family?” Trevor eyes widened in surprise. “That bitch divorced me and now she's plans on marrying some rich guy, that gold digger.” he spat out with disgust. “Haha, gold diggers please. That woman is nothing less than a child playing love…” the woman mocked. She stood up and walked up to the light. Her confident figure stood proud and tall. “If there’s any gold digger, it’s us, Mr. Sinclair.. Deliah Dennis ” she smirked.

Josh sounded so serious which was something that happened once in a while. "I'm listening." "Please consider what I am about to say seriously and do it for the sake of your twins, okay." "Spill," I replied, sounding impatient and irritated. "I want you to consider your in-law's offer and go live with them." "Never," I shouted, drawing attention to us. "The Badmus are powerful people, they have nothing to lose as Elena is easily controlled by them. If you continue this way you might not see your child even after their birth." I looked straight into my friend's eyes, and somehow understood where he was coming from.
