"Oh, there you are!" I heard him start to walk. I then looked around even though there was still some doubt that he was really here. However, when I finally found a spot that seemed to be the brightest among the others, I smothered my mouth with the palm of my hand. "You must be joking."There was a chuckle on the other side of the line, while his grin I could already see from this far away. "Hello, love."My eyes widened when I saw him in the crowd walking towards us, I couldn't help but smile."Oh God, what are you doing here?" I asked, overjoyed and slightly confused.River had just shut off the call when we were only one step apart. He smiled. “Are you surprised?" he asked."Of course!" I replied, glancing at the turtle-neck knit sweater he was wearing. "I didn't expect you to come here in the middle of the snow.""Neither did I," he replied, chuckling.Until then Cody approached us with a face that was both bright and confused. "What is this that I've been missing?" He looked at
Revenge in Silk Chapter 48. I feel like I need you right now
River's eyes widened at my words, and for a moment, then a quiet chuckle escaped River's lips until he finally burst out laughing loudly.“Shut up,” I said as I punched his arm and then couldn't help but join him in the laughter, feeling a sense of relief wash over me."Well, I'm glad we cleared that up." River wiped the tears from his eyes.There was a knock on the door and River got out of bed. She walked to the door with a short, lingering giggle. A woman appeared when the door opened. They made small talk until River turned and closed the door with his foot while carrying a tray with two mugs that seemed to be steaming."Hot cocoa to raise your body temperature," River said while handing me a mug.I said thank you when I received it, feeling the heat in my palm which instantly made me more comfortable. "So, now that that's settled, can we talk about why you're here, in the middle of this snowstorm?" I asked when he rejoined me on the bed. One sip of the drink made me close my eyes

Rory gave me and Cody a break today, she allowed us to go home earlier than the others because of our hard work in Philadelphia last night."It's been a long day, huh?" Cody asked, rubbing his eyes."Yeah, I could use a hot shower and a good night's sleep," I replied, packing up my things. "Let's get out of here."While cleaning up, I took the time to send River a text message. (I left the office early. See you at home!)"I'm so jealous!" Emma, from behind her desk, exclaimed.I chuckled as I looked at her. "Well, it's worth working late into the night yesterday.""You're right," she said grimly. "Come to think of it, I feel guilty for cuddling up with my husband under the covers last night while you guys were fighting the snow at night.""Oh! No need to feel bad for her, Em! Mia's situation last night wasn't much different anyway!" Cody commented sarcastically, I threw him a murderous glare.Emma frowned, watching us in turn. "What does that mean?""It's nothing! Cody's just talking

"How did you guys get here? I thought River never gave his password to anyone else."Indeed,” Evan replied, his smile growing, “but it's easy to guess whose birthday date is the password River used.”My breath caught when I saw Evan glance at Alison with a proud, triumphant smile. And he suddenly changed his expression to one of surprise and concern when he looked at me. "Jeez, Mia, you really don't know anything, do you?""Evan, honey, don't talk to Mia like that. She'll get confused." Alison said softly, like a mother to her five-year-old son. Gosh, Alison wasn't even around when Evan was five! They probably never even met before. Evan should be upset at Alison for abandoning him. Or at the very least, their relationship should have been awkward, instead of being so close and sweet like this, as if nothing bad ever happened to them.Evan shrugged indifferently, then grinned. "Sorry to have confused you, Mia."Putting aside the fact that had just pierced my heart, I let out a long si

Lost in my thoughts, I didn't hear the soft knock on the door at first. It was only when River's voice called out gently, "Mia, can I come in?" that I snapped back to reality. I hesitated for a moment, still feeling raw from the confrontation with Evan and Alison. But I knew I couldn't avoid River forever, so I took a deep breath and decided the crazy things in my brain.I grabbed my coat and bag before unlocking the bedroom door.His eyes held concern as he looked at me, his brows furrowed with worry. “Where are you going, Mia?"Anger had engulfed me. "Don't get in my way." Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision as I pushed past River and made my way out of the bedroom. I couldn't bear to look at him, not when my heart felt like it was being torn apart. The sound of his footsteps following me only fueled my anger further.“Mia, please. Talk to me,” he pleaded, reaching out a hand as if to stop me. But I was beyond listening, consumed by a whirlwind of emotions that threatened
Revenge in Silk Chapter 52. Merry Christmas
When the lift opened on my unit floor, a familiar face was the first thing I saw. "Mia?" The girl was startled when she saw me, either because of why I was suddenly in this building, or perhaps because of the condition I was in. I couldn't be sure which.My face pained at the sight of those blue eyes and blonde hair. Geez, Cailin, I can't if I have to face you again at this time.I tried to ignore her and walk through, but suddenly my steps staggered and Cailin managed to catch me."Mia, are you okay?" Cailin's face showed concern.I couldn't refuse when Cailin insisted on walking me to my unit. My head was too dizzy to press the keys on the padsword so I told Cailin my door code for her to open it for me. Let me replace it with a new code later.After the door successfully opened, Cailin fumbled around the wall for the light switch, perhaps she had visited Addy's unit a few times so she knew where it was, since the layout of my room and Addy's-and probably all the units in this build
Revenge in Silk Chapter 53. What do you wish for?
Addy took me out for Christmas Eve, visiting Rockefeller Center to see the sparkling lights and the gigantic Christmas tree. The cold winter air nipped at our cheeks as we walked arm in arm, the bustling crowd around us adding to the festive atmosphere. Addy's infectious laughter filled the air, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth in my heart.As we walked around, sipping hot chocolate to keep warm in the winter chill, Addy nudged me with her elbow. "Do you want to make a wish under the tree?"I raised an eyebrow at her mischievous grin. “Are you seven?”Addy laughed, her eyes twinkling with excitement. "Come on, Mia! It's Christmas Eve. Let's make a wish just for fun."I couldn’t help but smile at her infectious enthusiasm. "Fine, let's do it."We made our way through the crowd towards the towering Christmas tree, its colorful lights illuminating the night sky. Standing beneath its branches, surrounded by other cheerful visitors, I closed my eyes and silently made a wish i

"I'm going to terminate my pregnancy," I said as I stared blankly at the road ahead. How did I get pregnant? I always take my pills on time. I never failed to take them, even when I wasn't sexually active anymore due to the transition between my relationship with Evan and River."No, you can't," Addy, sitting next to me driving, replied firmly. She then let out a long sigh. “I mean, think it through first, once your mind is calm, once you're able to put your thoughts in order.”I shook my head. "I can't do that.” My shoulders trembled as I clutched my own face. “Why would I get pregnant when things are so messed up like this?”Addy reached out and took my hand, her grip firm and comforting. “Mia, I think you should talk to River. After all, he's the father of your baby. He has a right to know and a duty to take responsibility.”I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. "I just can't go through with it, Addy. I do love him, but I don't know if we can make things work. And I d
