Meetings
~Cali~
As the meeting commenced, my phone lit up, grabbing my gaze from Chase - the finance manager - presenting the third-quarter budget allocation for Reed Shipping.
A message from Evan popped up, instantly stretching my lips to a grin.
From Evan - I love you, Princess.
I know he meant what he said. The muscles of my heart stopped beating when he said the magical L-word. Even now, seeing his message is turning my insides all over the place. It’s as if my organs want to explode from happiness.
I just want my response to be a bit romantic, probably over dinner, candlelight, that’s why I haven’t said it back yet.
The timing is off, but who the hell cares? We are finally getti

EVAN Best Laid Plan
~Cali~ Seeing those files left a foul taste in my mouth. I hope I hadn’t taken that Tylenol Rylee gave me. I prefer migraines more than this unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach. The place is as good as empty, calming, and inviting. However majestically incorporated the natural elements in creating a rustic, yet warm ambiance, I still despise being here. Michael Bublé and Kelly Rowland’s beautiful euphony of How Deep is Your Love filled the thick air around me. How Ironic is it that I’m walking towards the man who’s testing how deep my love is for Evan? I love him so fucking much, more than I’m willing to admit to myself, and this is me acting on that love. On the end of the vast sea of vacant tables, in a s
EVAN My Light
~Cali~ It’s a wonder how I arrived at Evan’s place without stumbling upon an accident. I should’ve taken a cab or had Felix drive me, but it’s a risk I’m not willing to take. “Hey.” Evan pulled me for a hug as soon as I parked my car. Worry clouds his beautiful face. “Tell me what happened? Is everything okay?” His hands, on instinct, wounded around my waist, supporting me as I perched on shaky legs. I nodded, needing to have him. I stood on the tip of my toes, hands glided on his arms up to the back of his neck. “Kiss me,” I demanded, and as always, he complied with a beam on his lips. Evan bent a little, accommodating our height difference, capturing my lips in a gentle kiss. Each caress, each stroke of his lips against mine is heaven. A safe place where I don’t ha
EVAN Dark Tunnel
~Cali~Nate is a man of wits. Never once have I doubted his intelligence. It’s a pity that a man as smart as him is using his ability to hurt people for his own benefit.It’s clear that he doesn’t care about what the outcome would be once these files are out in public. All he cares about is how this will hurt Evan, even at the expense of ruining people’s lives.Klaus confirmed everything. I had to confide in my cousin even though I’m not fond of his lifestyle - the mafia life.My talk with Klaus opened my mind to how much he cares for his friends, for his family, for me. With no one’s knowledge, he’s already working on stopping Nate’s wicked plans on hurting Evan.Nate hol
EVAN Forewarn
~Cali~Each day that passes by towards Sunday is a knife that’s slowly piercing my chest. Nails that are being hammered to penetrate the walls of my heart.“Princess,” Evan came behind me on the morning of Saturday while I was making breakfast. His arms wounded around my waist, lips planting gentle kisses on the junction of my neck and shoulder.I giggled, his stubble tickling my skin as I tossed each pancake on the serving plate.“Evan,” I groaned, his hands wandering from my belly to my chest. “We’ll eat dark pancakes again.”He can’t keep his hands off of me and I have to say, the feeling is mutual.“You smell so good,
EVAN Breathe
~Cali~ When I was little, mom used to write poems and read them to me before I went to sleep. One of her poems says, ‘choose to be the bad man, if it’ll be for the better of your loved one.’ I never thought that the fruit of wisdom would leave a foul taste in my mouth. As I turned around after heaving deep breaths, calming my nerves from the raging fear inside my chest, my eyes wandered to where I left Evan. He’s still talking to Shena, a decent distance between them. As if he could feel my gaze, Evan’s eyes darted to where I was. His brows furrowed, probably seeing my distraught bearing. I quickly masked it with an apologetic smile, raising my phone, gesturing that I have to make another call. He nodded, turning to Shena again.
EVAN Marked
~Cali~I reached the cabin where Evan and I are supposed to meet at around three in the morning, worn out as the tires of the cab. The bumps we rode over, the curves we took are means to a meaningful destination.My coat draped languidly on the couch, each shoe I had on earlier now nowhere in sight. The thousand-dollar dress I flaunted on the fundraiser ripped in two, and so were my undergarments.The kitchen worktop is cold against my front, our mingled sweat dampening the chilly surface. My hand grasping the edge of the counter, holding on for each pound he made in me, is pushing my body to slide further.He’s mad. Each intrusion of his member is a punishment for the choice I made.Evan had never been this rough with
EVAN Answer
~Evan~I was wrong. She isn’t the light that glows at the end of the tunnel. Cali is not the spectrum of light that appears after the rain to create a beautiful rainbow. No, she’s not the sun that rises in the crack of dawn. I used to compare her to those spectacular phenomena in this darkness surrounding me, but I am rendered stunned by these turns of events.I had no idea about what Nathan did, not until three days ago when Shena visited me on the site.I had no time for her drama and honestly; I don’t even remember why I slept with her. Her face is too colorful for my liking. Lips that are too pouty, ass, and breasts that are unnaturally round… I could go on and on about the things that made me grimace as if I ate some spoiled meal for lunch.
EVAN Distance
~Cali~The hours we spent in the cabin flew by so fast. It was so hard to let him go, even though I knew this was only temporary… even if I’m the one who wanted this.Reed Industries’ California office became an unfamiliar reality to me as the days went by. I love working, I still do, but the corners of my office are appearing like a modern prison. My life in particular is.I can’t call or message anyone without the fear of Nate intercepting it. Even with my employees, we had to make sure everyone was clean of bugs every time they came near me… and guns or bombs at worst. Klaus doubled the security in my place, and he even insisted on instilling one or two of his people in the company in secrecy. Devin’s family is also at risk because of this situation. To make sure his family i
