I WAS NEVER YOURS CHAPTER 8: ELENA'S WARNING
I barely heard anything Adrian said after the elevator doors closed. His mouth moved, words came. But my mind was still upstairs, still in that office, still caught in Julian’s kiss and the words he said. I hated that he still had power over me. I hated that Julian could stand there, say almost nothing, refuse me the truth, and still leave me shaken to the bone.Beside me, Adrian watched me quietly. “You’re not listening,” he said at last.I blinked, pulling myself back.“I’m listening,” I said hurriedly.“You’re not.”The elevator doors slid open into the lobby. Adrian stepped out first, then slowed when he realized I hadn’t moved right away.“Amara.”I exhaled slowly and followed him out. The lobby was quieter now. Evening had deepened into night. The building glowed with expensive silence, all polished marble and hidden tension.“I need air,” I said.Adrian studied my face for a second, then nodded.“Fine. But don’t go back up there tonight.” The words were simple, but the tone ben
I WAS NEVER YOURS CHAPTER 7: THE POSSESIVE BOSS
The office was quiet, almost too quiet for my liking.The city skyline glowed faintly through the glass walls, but the hum of fluorescent lights and the soft clicking of keyboards was the only soundtrack to the late evening.I looked up from my laptop, rubbing my eyes. I had been at it for hours. The Valeron project was complicated, even by my standards, and Julian had personally insisted I oversee the financial aspect of every section involved.And he hadn’t just assigned it to me. He had insisted on working late with me. That was something I could not say no to because obviously, he is my boss.I exhaled slowly, realizing I had been staring at the same spreadsheet for the last ten minutes without actually interpreting a single number. Elena’s words, “But men like him rarely want something without a reason,” lingered in my heart rent-free. I kept asking myself, “What did she mean?”A few minutes later, the office door clicked open, and Julian entered without knocking.“Still here?”
I WAS NEVER YOURS Chapter 6: ADRIAN MAKES HIS MOVE
Monday morning at Ardent Holdings began like any other. Sharp suits everywhere, clean, polished floors. The entire building was filled with people who had quiet ambition hiding behind polite smiles.I walked into the building calmly in a burgundy jacket and a short corporate skirt. I carried my white handbag in my left hand, and my laptop was in my right hand.The entire twenty-first floor was buzzing, and I knew why before anyone said a word, because when I stepped out of the elevator, I saw it. A massive bouquet of deep red roses was sitting on my desk. Also sitting by it was a bouquet of dollars, and a very expensive bottle of wine. It was not a small arrangement, not a polite office bouquet.No. This was the kind of arrangement that looked like it belonged at a wedding.The bouquet had at least fifty roses, or maybe more. And every single pair of eyes in the department was staring at it.I froze as I stepped into my office. “Oh my God,” someone whispered nearby. “Who sent those?
I WAS NEVER YOURS Chapter 5: POWER LOOKS DIFFERENT
Amara's POV----Adrian chose a restaurant that suited my taste. The ambience was calm and aesthetically pleasing. It was hidden on the top floor of a tower overlooking the entire city. The lightening was dim with a touch of golden lights to give it a glow. The restaurant was a place only the rich and mighty came to dine it. Each table had champagne glasses with a bottle of champagne on it. The waiters were all dressed in jet black suits. The menu was so exquisite, and it had any type of dish you could think of. I walked out of the elevator in a black shiny dinner dress, gold heels, and a gold statement purse to match. My skin glowed like sunlight, and my scent immediately filled the room as I came in. I walked in confidently with my hips strutting up and down. I immediately saw Adrian in the VIP section of the restaurant. Dressed in a well-tailored ash suit, Adrian looked confident and Relaxed. He looked like he belonged here. A bit dangerous in a way, powerful men often were.
I WAS NEVER YOURS CHAPTER 4:
AMARA'S POV" Amara, it was just a kiss, and that was a mistake, nothing more." That was what I told myself as I stepped into Ardent Holdings that morning.I was so lost in my thoughts that I barely slept last night because of Julian’s kiss. I didn’t expect it at all, and worst of all, it had awakened feelings I had spent years trying to bury. By morning, I was irritated with myself for even thinking about it.The executive floor was already busy. Workers moved quickly between offices, and elevator doors were being opened and closed every few seconds. I expected the day to feel normal, but it didn’t, because I felt him immediately as I walked toward my office.Julian stood in his office, watching me through the glass wall as if he had been waiting for me to arrive. His sleeves were rolled slightly. His tie loosened just enough to make him look less corporate and more dangerous. Our eyes met briefly, but he didn’t look away. I did and continued to my desk."He had the nerve to look comp
I WAS NEVER YOURS CHAPTER 3
AMARA'S POV--- Work usually helped me clear my head. But not today. Three offices away sat the man who had walked out of my life without a single explanation. Now he watched me like I was a problem he couldn't solve. I hated that it still got to me. The soft knock on my desk broke my concentration. “Ms. Cole?” The voice said as I looked up. The man standing there was unfamiliar, tall, confident, and dressed in an expensive cream suit. His smile was easy, warm in a way that felt natural. “I’m Adrian Cross,” he said, extending a hand. “Investment consultant. I’m working with the executive strategy division on the foreign expansion proposal.” He explained further. I shook his hand politely. “Amara Cole,” I said with a warm smile. “I know,” he said lightly. “Your risk report from yesterday? Impressive. I’ve been trying to convince the board that someone on the team actually understands market volatility.” “Careful. Someone might hear you.” I said as I laughed softly. “Someone
I WAS NEVER YOURS CHAPTER 2: THE GIRL HE USED TO KNOW
Julian----Julian Vale did not believe in coincidences. He believed in timing. Strategy. Control.Which is why when his assistant walked into his office that morning with a slim black folder and said, “The new senior analyst you approved has resumed,” he barely looked up.“Good,” he replied calmly.
I WAS NEVER YOURS CHAPTER 1: THE SILENCE AFTER LOVE
AMARA'S POV----- "Ju-Julian.. I'm cumming, Julian fasterrr." Silence does not arrive loudly. I learned that night Julian stopped calling my name. A few hours before were some moments of intense love. Julian and I just had one of the best sex sessions we have ever had in our entire situationship.
