Chapter 1. Old Debt

“Please don’t throw me out. I have nowhere else to go, Mr. Bradford.”Malikha heard the tremor in her own voice and despised it. She had spent years learning how to stand straight, even when the world pushed her down. She had learned to smile when customers looked at her as if she were something cheap. She had learned how to swallow humiliation until it tasted almost normal.But now, this was different. She must survive. Mr. Bradford kicked her hand away from his trousers as if she had dirtied him simply by touching him. “I gave you two extra months. The new owner wants this place. You’re leaving tonight.”Her chest tightened. The apartment was small. The paint peeled near the window. The heater barely worked. But it was the last place that had felt remotely stable, the last place where she could close the door and pretend she wasn’t constantly one step away from disaster.“Please. I have nowhere to go,” she whispered again, softer now, because begging loudly hadn’t worked. “Let me st

Chapter 2. Mean

The way he called her made her stomach drop. He left before she could respond. At the same time, Malikha stood frozen in the middle of the bar. Her pulse wouldn’t slow.There was a strange ache in her chest. Why did that man feel like a ghost from a life she tried to forget?Meanwhile, Aidan slammed the car door the moment he stepped outside. His breath came fast, sharp, as if the air itself couldn’t cool the rage burning inside him. His fingers curled into fists, tension running through every vein. The memory and nightmares flashed in his mind. The car pulled away from the bar, but his mind stayed behind. Malikha’s face lingered like a stain he couldn’t scrub away each time he rested his eyes or blinked.“Damn,” he muttered hoarsely. Even when his eyes opened, he could still remember how Malikha haunted him.“Let go of me!”Aidan’s scream tore through the darkness as his body thrashed violently against the sheets. Nights like this always came when he slept alone. It was as if invisib

Chapter 3. Another Tactic

Malikha forced a smile as she walked into her mom’s room, steadying her breath before anyone could notice the tension in her shoulders. The moment her eyes landed on the tall, handsome, mature man standing near the bed, her smile stretched wider.“Good afternoon, Mr. Caesar,” she greeted politely, lowering her gaze for a second before looking up again. Brandon Caesar smiled warmly at her, and she returned it with careful control.“How’s your day, Malikha?”She bit her lower lip lightly, a habit she had whenever she needed to lie without being obvious. Then she lifted her chin and smiled brighter, as if nothing had happened. “Everything’s great,” she answered smoothly.Malikha did not stare at Brandon for long because more eye contact invited questions, so he would not be curious. She didn’t have the energy to explain what had just turned her life upside down. Aidan had bought the bar and erased her job like it meant nothing. What she didn’t know, what twisted fate had hidden from her,

Chapter 4. Demanding

Malikha didn’t sleep that night. After Aidan left, she stared emptily, thinking about his apology—not because of the job offer. Aidan had changed in a click. The way he had looked at her before he left somehow made her blush, and she couldn’t stop. Her conscience told her to leave, but her heart asked her to wait. It was like he had already decided something she wasn’t part of, and she was only now being allowed to read it.By morning, the silence felt heavier than exhaustion. The bill couldn’t wait until her landlord came to her door to remind her.“You are one week late, Miss Swan.”Malikha nodded right away. “I understand—” she breathed, then bit her lip. “I will pay the rent next week…”The landlord shook his head. He did not want to hear it again. “Tomorrow is your last day; otherwise, you should leave.”He warned her by pointing at her, then turned to leave without waiting for her response. Malikha let out a deep sigh and went back inside. She leaned her back against the door wh

Chapter 5. Charmed Her

Malikha froze the moment she heard his voice.“Hey, babydoll!”Her heart skipped as she slowly turned around. Of all people… she hadn’t expected to see him here.Aidan flashed a charming grin, acting warm and friendly, almost like an old friend.He stepped out of his car like he had all the time in the world, his presence effortlessly commanding. A warm, easy smile curved on his lips—as if this meeting wasn’t a coincidence at all.“Hey,” Malikha replied, her voice quieter than she intended.“Done for the day?” he asked, his tone gentle, almost familiar. Too familiar.She nodded. “Yeah… I’m heading home.”“Good,” Aidan said smoothly. “You shouldn’t go home alone in this weather. Come with me. Let me drive you home.”Malikha blinked, caught off guard. “I—no, it’s okay…” Malikha parted her lips slightly, then let out an awkward chuckle.“No, I insist. Come on. It’s going to get dark soon, and it’s cold,” he added, referring to the winter night. There was no pressure in his tone—yet someh

Chapter 6. Tangled

Aidan smiled as he listened to Malikha’s reaction on the other end of the phone.He could already picture her expression—wide eyes, trembling lips, that soft, overwhelmed look she always had whenever something touched her heart. The thought alone was enough to satisfy him.“Do you like the surprise?” Aidan asked when he heard her breath hitch, as if she were on the verge of tears. There was no immediate answer. Malikha fell silent for a moment. For a moment, Aidan wondered if she had started crying because of what he had done.His grin widened. He could almost see it—her shock, her disbelief, the way her fragile heart was slowly melting because of him. If only he had done this twelve years ago. Back then, he might have been the happiest boy alive. But now, Aidan was no longer that boy.And yet, despite the bitterness he carried, he couldn’t deny the strange warmth spreading through his chest. Knowing that the girl he once liked was reacting exactly the way he wanted—it pleased him more

Chapter 7. The Door Has Opened

Aidan let out a quiet, almost ironic breath as he stirred his coffee, his gaze lowering slightly as if the surface of the cup could somehow hold the weight of memories he rarely allowed himself to revisit.“That’s the kind of thing people should have talked about when I was still in high school,” he said, his voice calm but edged with something sharper beneath it. “It would have helped more than they realise.”Across from him, Raphael gave a small chuckle. However, the amusement in his expression was quickly replaced by curiosity as he studied Aidan more closely, sensing that there was more behind that remark than simple commentary.“Did you go through something like that, too?” Raphael asked, his tone careful, not pressing, but not entirely casual either.Aidan nodded slowly, his fingers tightening almost imperceptibly around the cup as his gaze dropped further, avoiding eye contact. For a moment, he did not speak, as though he were weighing whether to let the past remain buried or a

Chapter 8. Be Mine

Aidan had moved far beyond his own expectations, and far beyond the careful boundaries of the plan he had once constructed. Even he hadn’t anticipated how something as simple as delivering Malikha’s long-lost diploma could unravel her defences so quickly, so completely. It had been almost effortless. The moment she saw it, the moment her eyes filled with tears, something inside her had given way—and Aidan had felt it.Now, he no longer needed to exhaust himself weaving elaborate charms or calculated gestures to draw her closer. The role he had chosen as a belated hero, the man who appeared just when she needed him most, had proven far more powerful than he had imagined. It wasn’t just effective. It was perfect. And he was enjoying it.Across the hospital room, Fiona Swan, whom Aidan had already recognised long before stepping inside, watched her daughter with growing warmth and smiles. The moment Malikha walked in, her presence seemed to brighten the sterile space, but it was the man

Chapter 9. Not Much Time

He slowly leaned closer, his fingers gently cradling Malikha’s cheek before pressing a soft kiss against her skin, lingering just enough to make her breath catch. His lips hovered near hers, inching closer as if drawn by something neither of them could resist, ready to brush against her beautiful lips in a moment that felt suspended in time.Aidan didn’t hold back anymore. The moment he finally kissed her, it was gentle yet filled with emotion, as if he was savoring her like something delicate and rare, like soft sorbet melting against his lips. There was no force, no urgency—only a quiet tenderness. For once, he allowed himself to simply feel, to indulge in what his heart had been holding back for far too long.It was the first kiss he had ever given Malikha, not just now but in all the time they had known each other—both in the past and in the present, where only he still remembered. He had never planned for this, never intended to go this far, yet in the end, his feelings betrayed

Chapter 10. Breaking Heart

The revenge and love raging inside him drove Aidan to his private gym. He trained in Aikido, trying to calm his mind. The Japanese martial art was something he had mastered over the years. Dressed in his Aikido uniform, he gripped a specialized bamboo stick and moved with practiced precision. Long before this, he had already earned his black belt in Taekwondo.Training always gave him a sense of control and safety. Usually, he had a coach to spar with, but tonight he chose solitude. After completing his final sequence, Aidan straightened, his chest rising and falling as sweat dripped down his face. He stood still for a moment, unmoving, until Glenn Matthews approached him.“You should get some rest, sir. It’s past your bedtime,” Glenn reminded gently.Aidan turned, lowering his gaze briefly before walking toward him and handing over the stick he had been using.Saying nothing, Aidan left the gym and headed to his room. Whether he could actually rest or not was another matter entirely.
