The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 54: Until Friday
YULIAThe scent of sweet soy, garlic, and fried rice filled the apartment before I even opened the paper bag.“I swear if this isn't my orange chicken…” Adeline muttered dramatically, snatching one of the containers.“It is,” I laughed, handing it over.We'd ordered from Four Seasons Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown. It wasn't too far from King's College, and after an entire afternoon buried beneath sociology and case law, neither of us had the energy to cook.Within minutes, cartons were scattered across the coffee table: Singapore noodles, Egg fried rice, Sweet and sour chicken, Crispy duck pancakes, Salt and pepper prawns.“This…” Adeline groaned after taking a bite. “This is why I don't believe in diets.”I laughed, settling comfortably on the rug. “You've never believed in diets.”“Exactly.”We ate in comfortable silence for a while, interrupted only by satisfied hums every now and then.She rested her chopsticks against the carton. “I can't believe we're almost done with our fina
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 53: Keeping Appearances
KENDRICKI barely looked up from the documents spread across my desk. “Move clause fourteen under the liability section,” I said, tapping the page with my pen. “It'll read better there.”Across from me, Daniel nodded as he made the correction on his tablet. “Done.”I skimmed through the updated draft, then gave a satisfied nod. “Much better.”Just as I was about to move on to the next file, there was a soft knock on the office door. A second later, my assistant stepped inside. “Sir?” I glanced up. “Your mother is here to see you.”I froze for half a second. “...Shit,” I muttered under my breath.Daniel glanced between us awkwardly before pretending he hadn't heard.I rubbed a hand over my face. “Let her in.”“Yes, sir.”As soon as Celia disappeared, I looked at Daniel. “We'll continue this later.”“Of course.” He said and immediately stood. He gathered his tablet and files before giving me a polite nod. “I'll email the revised contract.”I nodded. “Perfect.”The door closed behind him
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 52: Choosing Us
YULIAAfter what seemed like some minutes had passed, with Kendrick saying nothing but choosing to stare at me across the room, I opened my mouth to speak.“What—” I started, but Kendrick closed the distance between us before I could finish.His eyes searched mine. “You haven't answered my calls.” He murmured. “And you haven't replied to a single message.”I folded my arms across my chest. “Is that why you went through all this?”He frowned, shaking his head. “No. Celeste came up with this plan. I honestly didn't know she'd lure you here.”I stared at him. “You expect me to believe that?”“I do.” He sighed. “She only told me to come over because she had something important to discuss. I walked in and found you standing here.”I studied his face. He wasn't smiling or joking. He genuinely looked as surprised as I had been when he saw me.I peered at him. “You know why I stopped answering.”“I know why you think you had to.”His words made me exhale slowly. “Kendrick...”He took another
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 51: An Unexpected Reunion
YULIAAfter everything that happened with Sophie, I no longer trusted anything. I had learned the hard way that the people closest to you could sometimes be the ones hiding the darkest intentions.So when my phone rang that Saturday morning and an unknown number appeared on the screen, I stared at it for a long moment.I almost ignored it. Almost, but something made me answer.“Hello?”“Yulia?”I frowned slightly. The voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't immediately place it. “Yes?”“It’s Celeste.”I stayed quiet for a second, searching my memory. “Celeste?”She laughed softly. “Yes. Kendrick’s cousin. The one you met at his house.”The name finally clicked.“Oh.” I sat up straighter. “Yes, I remember you now.”“Good. I was worried you’d forgotten me.”A small smile appeared on my face. “I don’t forget people easily.”“I know.” Her voice softened. “Especially after everything that happened.”My smile disappeared slightly. There it was, the reason. I knew it.“You heard about it.”“E
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 50: The Silence Between Us
KENDRICKIt had been seven days. Seven days since everything had fallen apart, watching Yulia’s face break when she realized the person she trusted had been the one destroying her life.I stared at my phone sitting on my desk, still no new messages. No missed calls. Nothing. I picked it up again and dialed her number, straight to ringing. Once, twice, and continued, then voicemail.I exhaled sharply and ended the call before leaving another message: Call me, Peaches.I placed the phone back on the desk and leaned into my chair, dragging both hands through my hair.This was the one thing I never knew how to handle. Business? I could negotiate million-pound contracts without blinking. Threats? I knew exactly how to deal with them. Enemies? I knew how to destroy them.But Yulia? The woman I loved refusing to talk to me? That was something I couldn't fix with strategy.I looked toward the floor-to-ceiling windows of my office, watching London move beneath me.I hated that she was hurting a
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 49: The Missed Call
YULIAI was finally starting to settle into something that felt like a routine. School kept my mind busy, which was exactly what I needed.The second things slowed down, my thoughts had a habit of drifting back to what had happened a week earlier—the breakup between Kendrick and me, and the revelation that Sophie had been the stalker.That day no longer sat as heavily on my chest as it had before. I'd stopped blaming myself for putting so much trust in Sophie, even though a small part of me still wondered whether my dad and Daphne would have found out about my secret relationship with Kendrick if Sophie hadn't exposed us.Either way, it was over now. At least, that was what I kept telling myself.“Miss Yulia?”I blinked. My gaze snapped to the front of the lecture hall. Our lecturer was looking directly at me. A few students turned in my direction.Heat crept into my cheeks. “Yes, sir?”He smiled knowingly. “I asked whether you understood today's topic.”“Oh.” I glanced at the project
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 5: Feeling The Moment
YULIA“So you’re telling me that you’re living with the Kendrick Fernsby?” Adeline asked dramatically, raising both hands to make quotation marks in the air. I laughed, taking another sip of my pineapple smoothie. I had decided to meet her at The Good Life Eatery because their smoothies were ridic
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 4: Not Just Him Anymore
KENDRICKI shouldn’t have kissed her. It wasn’t even a kiss worth overthinking—just her cheek, a brief moment of contact that should’ve meant nothing.But it did, and that was the problem.I ruffled my hair, staring blankly at the surveillance analytics displayed across my MacBook’s screen while ab
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 3: The Kiss That Shouldn’t Have Happened
YULIA“This is it?” I asked, glancing around the parking lot filled with cars. “Yes.” Kendrick parked his car and turned to me. “Ever been to a street race?”I shook my head wildly, speechless all of a sudden. His expression barely changed, but his eyes said otherwise . “Then prepare yourself. Yo
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 2: She's Gonna Be A Problem
KENDRICK“What were they thinking, letting her live with you?” Victor asked, leaning back lazily in the chair across from my desk like he owned the space.“Safety.” I shrugged, flipping through the folder in front of me without bothering to look up. “Apparently, her father thinks London will collap
