A smirk spreads across Phoenix’s face when he notices me gawking at him. He’s wearing a black tuxedo and looks yummy enough to be my dessert for tonight after the Art exhibit Fundraising event hosted by Hughes Industries.
“Wanna have a quickie first before we go to the exhibit?” Phoenix asks, smirking, and I’m literally drooling over him.
“I spent half an hour just to like this,” I say, motioning to my floor-length off-shoulder black dress. “I’m not gonna ruin just for a quickie, and we’ll gonna be late anyway.”
“You’re right because quickie is not enough. I need to take my time making you feel good. Let’s go because if we stay here longer, I might shred off that gown from you and press you against this wall.” He presses his bulge against my rear, then kisses my exposed shoulder.
The venue of the event is not far from the King’s hotel we checked in. Phoenix grips my hand when our driver opens the door for me

PHOENIX “Mom!” I stride all the way to the table where mom is sitting as soon as she comes to view. She smiles and meets me halfway. “Phoenix! You are so rude by leaving your girlfriend alone just to give me a hug.” Then she walks toward Samantha who’s shyly sauntering to us. Mom doesn’t need an introduction. She launches into Samantha and squeezes her into a hug. “Good to finally meet you, Samantha. I heard a lot about you already. Does my son treat you well? Or should I teach him some lessons because I can still spank his butt,” Mom jokes while Samantha hasn’t found a word to say, but I can see the amazement in her eyes? She clears her throat, “Pleasure is mine, Mrs. Williams. Your son just treats me alright if I won’t count him being persistent and cocky. Otherwise, I can’t complain. Thanks for having me for your family lunch!” “Now you can finally talk, Samantha? Thought you lost your voice,” I tease her.

PHOENIX My mind goes back to the lunch I spent with my family. I can’t help but think about how Samantha’s dad died. What if? My stomach twists, and the longer I think about it, the more I feel I want to throw up. “Penny for the thoughts?” I look at her who’s lying in my arms after our wall-banging. I break into a grin. “Just thinking about the wall that almost collapsed. It actually shook.” She giggles. “And that’s what you’re thinking all this time?” I push the thought back into my head. “What else would I think about, princess?” I really don’t want to lie to her about what is bothering me because I hate being lied to, as well, but that night accident keeps flashing back to me. I still remember the face of that man when the EMT tried to take him out of the wrecked car. “I don’t wanna go back home yet, but I have classes and I have to attend them to graduate,” she says while tracing her fingers on my ch

SAM I call mom as soon as I land. Mike’s jet is luxurious and I am pampered by the attendant even just for two hours. I sit on one of the adjustable spacious plush chairs. The jet has cozy leather couches, and of course, a modern and spacious bathroom, and a lot bigger than the bathroom in my house. I wish I have more than a two-hour flight because I’d love to avail myself of one of the cabins and the master suite. As soon as I step down the jet’s stairways, I feel empty. I missed Phoenix, but I have to let him stay with his mom. I don’t want to be selfish to let him come with me when I know he needs to be there. “Sam!” Mom yells my name, carrying a placard with my name written in a black marker. I roll my eyes because I can’t believe she does that. “Hey, mom. You have time to do that.” I kiss her cheek. “Have a safe way home, Ms. Anderson,” Phil says who helps me with my luggage to Mom’s car com

PHOENIX Three days ago... I growl in irritation when I hear her calling my name behind me. How does she even know that I’m here in New York? I think I make it clear to her that I have nothing to do with her anymore, and she’s never going to have me back. I face her, clenching my jaw to avoid swearing at her where everyone around can hear it. “Are you stalking me now, Gabrielle?” Of course, she doesn’t care how angry I am. She’s a bitch for a reason—an insensitive and selfish bitch! She cups my face and kisses my lips so loudly. I cringe. I can taste the lipstick on my lips, but she doesn’t taste like my princess. I grab her in her arms and push her away from me. I’m done being nice. This woman won’t just stop ruining my life—she’s not satisfied once, she wants to ruin me again. I did everything for her—I was a loyal boyfriend, never cheated, but look at what she did to me

SAM Three months Post-Phoenix… “Babe, text me before you go down the lobby, okay?” Tyler says. Yes, you hear it right. After seeing that photo of Phoenix with Gabrielle all over the gossips sites and tabloids, I don’t need an explanation. It was clear that he cheated on me. Amy, Maya, and Garrett tried hard to explain that I should hear it from Phoenix, himself, but it was obvious that they were back together. I was expecting to see him at Garrett and Maya’s wedding, but he didn’t show up—he just sent a gift for them. I changed my phone number and I quitted my job at the coffee shop the same day I found out about his betrayal. We didn’t talk at all or bother to contact each other in any way possible. That was it, after our night together in the hotel that night, it ended there.

PHOENIX After I don’t know how fucking long… Life is a fucking bitch! Why if you may ask because my life is a bitch. And I fucked up pretty bad, but I don’t fucking care anymore. It doesn’t make any sense, I know. My brother, cousins, and friends loathed me. Mom ignored me. I was sure my Princess was cursing me to death. Who won’t? When I left them without a single word. But none of them understood why because none of them had guessed what I did was worse than the loathing they felt for me. None of them had guessed how I desperately needed to see just a glimpse of Samantha. No one else had guessed how deep the cut in my heart compared to my previous broken heart. But I did it for her own good before I could hurt her more, and I knew I would one day. I had no choice but to end what we’d just started before the cut would get too deep. Lucky me, I had been practicing to be numb years ago, and I was back to

SAM “A-Abby?” Stuttering, I swallow hard. They are the last people I want to see right now. This can’t be a coincidence. Did they happen to own this nightclub too? I’m such a stupid. Of course, they pretty own everything. “Sam!” Her face lights up like a Christmas tree. She launches on me that makes me stumble a few steps back and squeezes me so tight in a hug. “I can’t believe you’re here! You’re really here, and I’m not dreaming, am I, Sam?” she continues mumbling I missed you, good to see you again blah blah blah. I’m so shocked to even say a word. “God, you look gorgeous! Why won’t you come with me.” She grabs my hand, but I manage to pull it back. “Um, I'm sorry Abby, but I can’t. I have friends waiting for me. They’re probably wondering what took me so long,” I reply and feel bad at the same time. She’s really a good person, but I’m not yet ready to face his family. He and Abby are

SAM Shock is an understatement of what had just happened minutes ago. I just shouted another name while we were on the verge of our orgasms. My face heats with embarrassment. I feel so guilty, and I don’t know what had gotten into me. He pulled himself on top of me and went to the bathroom, and until now he doesn’t come back. I sit up from our bed, tie my hair in a loose bun, and walk to our adjacent bathroom. After taking a few huge breaths, my nerves are still all over my system. “Ty?” I knock on the door. I can’t hear any movements from inside, nor a sound of water. The door swiftly opens, then our eyes meet—I can see the hint of pain in his eyes. I swallow the lump blocking my throat. “Um, Ty. Let me explain.” My words are almost inaudible. I break my gaze wh
