Yvonne sat cross-legged on her bed, phone in hand, brows furrowed in quiet frustration. Her thumb hovered over the screen. For three days now, she had tried to reach Zach through calls and messages but to no avail. Just silence.She sighed and typed, "You still owe me a meal."Her thumb hit send before she could change her mind. She clutched the phone tightly, biting her lower lip. Her feet shuffled on the wooden floor as she paced."Maybe this time he'll reply," she whispered.But doubt crawled in like a shadow. She dropped back on the bed, arms sprawled, eyes staring up at the ceiling."He didn’t answer my calls or responded to my previous messages. I'm sure it'll be the same case with this message now," she scoffed, shaking her head slowly. "Why is this happening? It’s like he’s dodging me. Three days. Three unbearable days."Her forehead creased, lips pursed in worry. Then her phone beeped. She shot up like lightning, her heart pounding.Her eyes lit up when she saw the name on th

The strike hadn’t done much.Despite aiming right, the jack handle had slipped from Maya’s sweaty grip and clattered to the floor. Panic surged through her veins.Zic jerked in confusion, and Maya, thinking fast, masked her failure with a sultry shift.She tilted her head and gave a forced laugh. “Oops,” she murmured, as if she’d dropped it playfully.Before he could react, she quickly repositioned herself, pushing him back against the seat. Her knees pinned his sides as she straddled him, breath warm against his cheek.Zic let out a low, confused groan. His pupils widened in surprise, then narrowed with suspicion.“Maya… what the hell are you doing?” he growled, trying to push her off.But she had come prepared.With one swift motion, her right hand flew up and those long, sharp prosthetic nails, glistening like the fangs of a viper – dug deep into his eyes.“AHHH—!”He screamed. Loud. Violent. Wild. His body thrashed under her, arms flailing, trying to grab her hair, but he was alre

Around 10pm, the hotel club throbbed with wild music, neon lights slicing through the hazy air.Maya swayed to the beat like she owned the night. Her red strapless nylon bustier and skimpy skirt clung to every curve, her hair wild and free. The music, a thumping hip-hop track, pushed through her veins like electricity. She threw her hands up, letting herself fall into the rhythm, hips rolling, back arching, moving like no one was watching. But someone was.Wilson.He sat back in the private VIP lounge he had booked just for the two of them, sipping from a glass of scotch, his eyes gleaming with something between awe and desire. A lazy smile curved his lips. He watched her like a man watching a fire – dangerous, untouchable, and too tempting to resist.Finally, the beat got to him.He stood, tossed the half-empty glass aside, and took one last drag from his cigar before stepping onto the dance floor. The smoke curled around him as he walked, and Maya turned, catching the hunger in his

In a well-lit hotel room lined with warm amber lights, Maya straddled Wilson on the bed. Her body moved in rhythm, drawing quiet groans from his throat as her hands roamed his chest, leaving trails of warmth on his skin. His fingers dug into the covers, helpless beneath the spell she cast.Her head fell back slightly as she felt the intensity of their connection grow. The air was heavy with heat and indulgence, their silhouettes dancing against the golden walls. Wilson managed to sit up halfway, hands gripping her waist as he began to guide her movements, slow at first, then faster, more desperate."You feel amazing, Maya," he murmured, voice thick with desire.Maya smirked as she swept her damp hair to one side, locking eyes with him. Then she twisted her hips deliberately, pulling a sharp gasp from his lips."Fuck – where did you learn that?"She leaned forward, lips brushing his ear. “I’ll do anything to please the Mayor’s son…”That made him grin, his arms pulling her down for a

Later that evening, the sky outside was bruised with the colors of sunset, fading into navy blue as city lights flickered on. Inside the spacious penthouse, silence ruled until the door dinged softly and Barbara stepped in, heels clicking faintly on the marble floor.Her shoulders slumped with exhaustion. Her long coat dangled in one hand while her designer bag nearly slipped from the other. Her lipstick was faint, her blouse slightly rumpled, and her entire expression wore the fatigue of a long, emotionally loaded day.She dropped everything without grace and crashed face-first onto the plush white couch. A groan escaped her lips.Phoebe, seated already with one leg tucked beneath her, turned her head slowly and arched a brow. Her eyes widened slightly as she took in the sight before her.“So… what happened?” Phoebe leaned forward, curiosity flashing like a light in her eyes.Barbara buried her face in a throw pillow. “What do you mean?” came her muffled voice.“Oh, come on,” Phoebe

Later in the evening, Maya trudged into the house, her steps slow and unsteady. The dim light from the hallway chandelier flickered against her face, revealing swollen eyes, smudged makeup, and the lingering smell of cheap alcohol clinging to her clothes. She dropped her bag by the door and slumped onto the living room couch like her bones could no longer hold her together.Sarah stepped out from the kitchen, apron still tied around her waist, her eyes immediately catching the change in Maya. "Where have you been all day?" she asked, voice gentle but layered with concern.Maya leaned her head back and exhaled. "I went to see him... then a bar after that. I needed to cool off my head."Sarah walked over and sat beside her, close enough to show she cared but not too close to smother. "Cool off? Maya, you shouldn't be drinking."Maya let out a dry laugh and rolled her eyes. "Oh, please, spare me, mother. It's not like I have a car to wreck or anyone to answer to."Sarah's expression tig
