"Hmm," she moaned, moving closer, resting her head on something she could not easily place her mind on. It felt comfortable, and she did not wish to wake up anymore. She just wanted to remain there, maybe forever. She felt protected as his arms wrapped around her tiny waist, and for a moment, she felt at peace. He, too, felt as though he had never had any good sleep in his life, until today. It was so unlike him to sleep this long, as he was usually awake in the early hours of the morning. Slowly, her eyes flickered open, and the first thing they caught was the work of art that was similar to that of a Greek god. She wondered if this was a dream or if it was really a reality. As she stared at his face, and how peaceful he slept, she could not help but feel lost. Suddenly, like a flash, all the memories from yesterday began to play in her mind. She looked at him well and realized that it was not a dream and that she was sleeping on the same bed as Harrison. Not only did they slee
FROM STREETS TO SUITES A Night With Eva.
"Hey, if you are not busy tonight, how about you come over?" Eva texted, biting her lips.It had been three days since Ivan arrived in Spain, and she had not seen him. He was occupied with work, as he tried to catch up with the recent happenings.His phone dinged while at lunch in the company, and she smiled. He had tried hard to finish up everything so that he could have some time with her, and luckily, she texted on the right day.He picked up his phone and texted back, "Sure. I will be there by 8 pm.""Aww, Senor is blushing! Tell me, who is that woman that is making you smile so much?" One of his colleagues asked, eager to hear from him.Ivan chuckled, "It's my woman. She is cooking for me. Too bad you are too single to relate," he said and got up, taking his leave.The guy just stood there, shocked at his reply. He didn't even know what to say.Ivan managed to clear up all that he had to do, meaning that while he would be with Eva, there would be no cause for an emergency call or
FROM STREETS TO SUITES It's Not Over, Yet.
Quinn's expression immediately turned sour as soon as she saw the person standing in front of her.She had not expected him to come down to Florida just to see her, and of course, not for any good purpose."Uh, I will see you later, Quinn," Vera voiced out, taking her leave.Quinn sighed, leaning on the table and crossing her arms over her chest."What do you want?" She asked, getting straight to the point."That's such a bad way to welcome your cousin. I mean, should you not, at least, ask me to have a seat,, and the, you serve me wine or somethin?. Look at me; I am George Kendrick, your dear cousin, not your ex-boyfriend or employee," he said, looking around the office."You really think you have won, don't you? Just look at the way you furnished the office to your taste like you are going to remain here permanently.""Did you come all the way from Texas just to see how you lost to me? That's interesting, I mean, I have never seen anyone return to what he or she had lost. You really

Her eyes bore a tinge of surprise as he made that confession. She never thought that her high school big-time crush was actually in love with her as well.She could not tell how she was feeling. If she were to choose between Greg and Harrison now, she would immediately choose Greg, especially after what Harrison did to her."What? Are you surprised?" He asked, chuckling.Before she could reply, her phone rang. She looked away, taking her bag to remove her phone.It was Harrison.She frowned, wondering why he was calling her now. However, she answered the call."Sorry, excuse me," she whispered to Greg and got up.She took a few steps away and placed the phone on her ear."You are only allowed to call me during work hours. What do you want?"He sighed, "Can you not be like this, please?"There was no response, so he continued."I just called to check up on you, and maybe if you could hang out.""Please, let's maintain the business formalities. We cannot hang out, because I have work to
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Greg, My First Love.
There was a huge grin on her face as she thought of the person that sent her flowers. The day was only starting out, and she felt overworked, that she thought she would have a bad day.The bouquet meant so much to her, as she read the note over again. It was how the person knew that her favorite flower was a daisy was what made her feel elated.She thought that person was so caring, and she wanted to really appreciate him for his caring and kind gestures, but below the note was written in italics, "Anonymous"."Why are you so lost in it? Do you like it?" Vera finally voiced out, after a century of remaining silent.She turned to her, "like? Heck, I love it! You don't know how much this means to me, and I just wished that I could jump on to the person, and hug him tightly for making my day beautiful. It takes a person who knows me very well to remember my favorite flower."Vera smiled in satisfaction, "that's great. The person must really love you to get you a bouquet of daisies. I mea
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Greg's True Intentions.
Harrison froze to the spot. He had asked Vera what time Quinn would arrive at the office, and it was definitely not at the time that she had arrived.He stopped for a moment and then turned around to face her. He looked down, before facing her."You are here," he muttered.She did not say anything; rather, she crossed her arms over her chest and took steady strides closer to him.She took a halt in front of him, her eyes burning with fury for him."What is your problem? Why can't you just give up, and understand that I don't want you? You had to use Vera to execute your plans, why?" She mouthed.He cleared his throat, "Why can't you see it? I love you, Quinn. I know I messed up in the past, but I am here now to ask for your forgiveness. Just give me a chance, please, I promise to make things right," he replied, taking a step closer to her.He held her arms, looking into her eyes. He studied her expression and added."I can see it in your eyes that you love me. Quinn, I know you are st
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Harrison Saves Quinn.
Quinn could not believe her ears. She looked at him in horror mixed with surprise. She did not even know what to say to him.Before she could comprehend whether or not it was a joke, he picked her up immediately and threw her on the bed.She began to struggle with him, but his grip was so tight that she almost gave up trying to break free.She recalled Harrison's words to her, remembering that he told her to be careful around Greg.Wishing that she could go back in time to refuse his invitation, she let out a scream, but the room was soundproof, so her scream could hardly go past the next room.A tear ran down her cheek, as she wondered if she would end up getting raped and deceived by someone she thought was in love with her.Regret filled her heart as she considered herself foolish for falling for his tricks. He did not notice her back in high school, so how could he have fallen in love with her?"Greg, stop, please!" She begged, struggling with all her might to break free from his
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Peaceful Sleep.
Harrison turned to her, giving her a deep stare. He looked down at her hand that held him.Her eyes were communicating fear and deep emotions he could not explain. He took her in a bridal style, and her arms wrapped around his neck immediately, burying her face in him.He took her to the car and placed her gently inside. He sat in the driver's seat and ignited the engine.As he rode the car, he kept glancing at her, making sure she was okay. She, on the other hand, had her face to the window.Her mind was occupied with a whole lot of thoughts, especially about what happened that day.She never thought Greg would have such intentions towards her. She let a tear flow down, as she thought of how her life was.Was she born to be hurt? Did she come into the world to be toyed with?She took a glance at Harrison. Did he love her? Did she love him too? Her mind was jumbled up with different thoughts and emotions that she could barely be certain about anything.They finally got to his house,

Yours, Forever.
Harrison stood outside the hospital. The air was filled with the scent of freedom and relief, at last.It had been some depressing and stressful months. But tonight was different. Tonight, he felt lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.The glass doors of the hospital slid open, and Harrison walked out, his tall frame silhouetted against the bright lights of the lobby. Harrison took a deep breath and stepped forward to Ivan. For a moment, neither of them spoke, the silence was eerie. Then, Harrison broke it."Ivan," he began, his voice steady, "I know I hurt Quinn. I know I messed up in ways I can't even begin to describe. But... I’m truly sorry."Ivan’s gaze was hard as he studied Harrison, his eyes searching for sincerity. Then, with a slow, deliberate nod, he replied, "I believe you, Harrison. And I can see how much you love my sister. Just... don’t make me regret this."Relief flooded through Harrison, and without thinking, he extended his hand. After a b
Death.
The night air was thick with tension. Harrison stood firm, his gaze locked with Jacob’s as they faced off under the dim glow of the moonlight. Jacob’s eyes gleamed with a dangerous glint, a crazed smile twitching at the corners of his lips.“So, you want one of us to die, huh?” Harrison’s voice was steady, though his heart raced wildly in his chest. “You think that’s the only way this ends?”Jacob nodded slowly, his smile widening. “Oh, I know it is. One must die for the other to live, Harrison. No way out of that. And you, Harrison, will die.”Quinn stood behind Harrison, her entire body shaking as she watched the two men. The man she loved and the man who had traumatized her in the past.Tears streamed down her cheeks as fear coiled in her stomach like a venomous snake.“Please, stop this,” she begged, her voice breaking. “Both of you, just—”Jacob laughed, a hollow, chilling sound that cut through her plea like a blade. “No more running, no more hiding. Let’s settle this once and
Back Door And Race.
The aftermath of the explosion left a thick cloud of smoke and dust settling in the air just outside the house. Harrison grabbed Quinn's hand, pulling her close as they stumbled backwards, away from the shattered window. He looked at Quinn, panic etched into his face as the sound of the phone ringing pierced through the chaos. It was Jacob again.Quinn’s eyes widened with fear as she realized how serious Jacob was. Her body trembled, and she screamed, covering her ears, trying to block out the shackles collapsing around her. Harrison watched her, his heart aching at her terror. He pulled her close, whispering reassurances, but his own fear was evident.Jacob’s voice on the other end was disturbingly calm, a contrast to the chaos he had just unleashed. “I’m warning you. Involve the police, and you’ll face more than just an explosion.”Harrison’s jaw tightened as he gripped the phone. “What do you want, Jacob?” he demanded.“I only want Quinn,” Jacob replied coolly. “And I’m giving y
Truth And Explosion.
Harrison’s voice was calm, yet filled with remorse as he recounted the painful memories that had tormented him for years. He hesitated before speaking again, his gaze fixed on the floor, avoiding Quinn’s eyes.“I’ve been carrying this guilt for a long time,” he began quietly, “ever since Stella… I wasn’t ready to be a father. I didn’t know how to deal with the situation or how to support her the way she deserved. I was reckless, neglectful even, and I regret every moment of it.”Quinn remained silent, her expression unreadable. Despite her efforts to maintain her composure, her heart tightened with sympathy and confusion.Harrison took a deep breath, exhaling slowly as if releasing a burden that had been suffocating him. “I remember that day like it was yesterday,” he continued, his voice trembling slightly. “Stella and I had an argument that morning. It wasn’t anything serious, just about trivial things and then she left the house. I didn’t think much of it. I saw her hurry up, head
Tell Me.
The drive to Quinn’s secluded apartment was silent. Ivan’s eyes stayed locked on the road, his knuckles white against the steering wheel. Beside him, Eva cradled baby Eric, her gaze drifting between the passing scenery and her husband’s hardened profile. Harrison, unbeknownst to Ivan, had followed secretly from a distance. He trailed their car cautiously, never letting it out of his sight.Quinn’s apartment was a small cottage, nestled in a deserted outskirt of the city. It was the perfect hideaway, but the isolation only made her feel more hurt. It had been almost a week since she had spoken to anyone other than her doctor and Ivan.See was not ready to see anyone, especially not her brother, but she knew they would come sooner or later.When she saw Ivan’s car pull up outside, she took a deep breath, bracing herself for what was sure to be an emotional encounter.“Quinn,” Eva greeted softly as she stepped inside, carrying baby Eric in her arms. She smiled gently, trying to mask h
Only Hope.
Harrison paced back and forth in his apartment, his phone gripped tightly in his hand. He had tried calling Quinn multiple times, only to be met with silence. Each unanswered call, each unread message fueled his frustration. He couldn’t get through to Ivan either. Everyone seemed to have locked him out. The only person he could think of now, the only one who might listen was Eva.His finger moved over her number. He knew calling her was risky. She was, after all, Ivan’s wife. But he was desperate. He needed someone to hear him out before everything goes out of control.Taking a deep breath, he pressed the call button. The phone rang twice before he heard her soft voice on the other end.“Harrison?” Eva sounded surprised. “Is everything okay?”“Eva, please—I need to see you,” he blurted out, his voice laced with desperation. “Just for a few minutes. It’s important.”She hesitated, her silence making him worried. “I don’t know, Harrison. Ivan wouldn’t like it if he found out we met.”
My Turn.
Harrison sat in the dark, his hands buried in his hair as he stared at the blinking phone screen. Quinn’s voice replayed in his mind, cold and distant.“Never call me again.”The four words had shattered him, and now he felt the pang of every secret he had kept from her. Jasmine stood beside him, her expression torn between anger and pity.“It’s not the end of the world, Harrison,” Jasmine murmured, reaching out to place a hand on his shoulder. “Quinn is angry, but if you explain—”“Explain?” Harrison cut her off, his voice laced with a bitterness that surprised even himself. “Explain what, Jasmine? That I’m a coward who let Jacob control me? That I was too scared to tell the woman I love about something that could destroy her trust in me forever?”Jasmine’s gaze softened. “It wasn’t your fault, Harrison. What happened to Stella and the baby was an accident. You know that. She knows that.”“But she doesn’t know!” Harrison exclaimed, his frustration spilling over. He stood abruptly, kn

Running Away.
Quinn’s heart felt like it had been shattered into a thousand pieces as she sped away from Harrison’s office. The images, the recordings, Jacob’s smug grin...everything played on repeat in her mind. Harrison’s face as she confronted him was burned into her memory, and it only deepened her pain. How could he have kept something like this from her? How could he have betrayed her trust so completely?When she finally pulled into Ivan’s house, she barely had the strength to get out of the car. She didn’t even need to knock before the door flew open, revealing Ivan’s concerned face. He must have known something was wrong the moment she locked herself up all night.“Princess,” he mouthed, his eyes scanning her tear-streaked face. “What happened?”Quinn’s composure broke as she launched herself into his arms, sobs racking her body. Ivan held her tight, his jaw clenched in silent fury. Whatever had caused this, he knew it had something to do with Harrison. His mind raced, imagining a hund
