Chapter 107: Youâre joking, right?
Johnny stared at Lydia like she had just spoken a different language. For a moment, the words did not land. They hovered in the air between them, light and unreal, as if they could still be laughed off. Darius Kingâs fiancĂŠe. That made no sense. None at all. Johnny let out a short breath, almost a laugh, but it died halfway. âThatâs not funny,â he said. âYouâre joking, right?â Lydia did not smile this time. She only watched him, calm and patient, like someone waiting for another person to catch up. As she breathed, the fabric stretched tight over her heavy breasts, a faint outline teasing through. Johnny ran a hand through his hair and took a step back. His mind started racing, trying to rearrange facts that no longer fit. Darius. That man. Arrogant, slimy, bully, always pretending to be bigger than he was. The same man who had begged, sweated, and cried at Johnnyâs feet earlier. And this woman was engaged to him? âHow is that even possible?â Johnny muttered, more to himself
Chapter 106
Johnny stared.Of all the people who could have been standing there, this was the one his mind hadnât prepared for.âLydia Silver?âShe smiled like she had been expecting that exact reaction. Her dress clung to her hourglass curves, the thin fabric hugging her full hips and dipping low enough to tease the swell of her ample chest with every breath.âYes,â she said easily. âGood evening, Johnny Steele.âHer voice was calm. Not nervous. Not rushed. Like this was a normal visit. As she shifted, the dress's silky hem rode up her smooth thigh just a bit, drawing his eyes before he caught himself.Johnny stayed where he was for a second too long. His hand was still on the door handle.Lydia glanced past him. âMay I?âHe stepped aside without thinking.She walked in, her hips swaying with a natural rhythm that made the dress flutter against her legs.Not hurried. Not cautious. She moved like someone who was used to being let into places without asking twice. The door closed softly behind he
Chapter 105
Johnny stepped into the Nebula Hotel lobby like he owned the place. Which he did. Heads turned right away. Staff fixed their uniforms quick. Guests paused, eyes flicking over him. Sophie, the hotel manager was already waiting by the desk with her tablet in hand. Her clean suit fit tight around her curvy hips and full chest, and a few strands of hair had escaped her ponytail to brush against her soft neck. "Welcome back, sir," she said with a small smile as her eyes flicked over his strong arms. Johnny nodded quick. âHow long was I goneâ âJust under six hours,â she replied. He blinked. "...That long?" Johnny checked the time on his phone. 4:30PM. Almost six hours gone. He had spent over five hours at the Silvercrest Hotel. Didn't feel like it. It was all so fast paced and felt like it all happened under an hour. "Your Sky Sovereign suite is ready," Sophie said, leaning in a tad. The move made her cleavage peek just enough to tease. Johnny nodded. "Thanks." As he passed
Chapter 104: Ultimatium
Darius stood frozen in the middle of the room. His mouth was open at first. Then it closed. Then opened again. Nothing came out.âJohnny, I mean Sir I donâtâ I donât understand.âJohnny tilted his head.âDid I stutter.â Johnny questioned.âI am going to fuck your fiancĂŠe to the Nebula HotelâŚ. Johnny said. âOr youâll walk out of this building unemployed.âThe words stayed where Johnny left them.Hanging.Not echoing. Not fading. Just sitting there, ugly and heavy, like smoke that refused to clear.Darius shook his head.Santiago Silver, the now former owner of Silvercrest Holdings stepped forward half a pace.âSir,â he said. His voice was careful. Old-school. The voice of a man who had negotiated his way out of worse situations than this. âPlease. I think you should reconsider your terms.âJohnny turned his head slowly.Looked at him.âThank you for your adviceâ he said politely, âbut I donât think I willâThe old manâs posture, always straight, always careful, sagged just a little. Eve
Chapter 103
Chapter 103Darius couldnât stop staring at Johnnyâs face.Not because it was different.Because it wasnât.Same calm eyes. Same straight posture. Same voice he remembered from years ago, back when it was easy to bark orders at him. Back when Johnny kept his head down and said yes to everything.Now the room felt smaller.The air felt thicker.sound that felt too loud.Johnny didnât rush it. He stood there like he had all the time in the world. He let the silence hang where it was.Darius swallowed. His throat made a dry sound that felt too loud.He stood there, stiff, eyes locked forward like that might help. Like if he didnât move, didnât breathe too loud, this would pass.It didnât.The room stayed quiet.Too quiet.And Darius stood there, knowingâreally knowingâthat whatever came next wasnât something he could talk his way out of.Johnny tilted his head, just slightly.âDariusâŚ. My old boss,â he said. Calm. Almost curious. âTell me something.âDariusâs fingers twitched at his sid
Chapter 102: Look at you
The word sorry still hung in the air.It didnât fade. It didnât soften.It just stayed there, heavy, unfinished.Darren was still on his knees.His back straight. Too straight. Like he was holding himself together with tension alone.Johnny didnât react right away.That was the worst part.The pause stretched long enough for people to start counting breaths without meaning to.One.Two.Three.Johnny stepped forward.Just one step.The sound of his shoe against the floor echoed louder than it should have.Darrenâs eyes followed the movement without lifting his head. Another step.Johnny stopped right in front of him.Close.Close enough that Darren noticed things he shouldnât have been noticing. Things he couldnât even explain or understand himself.Johnny leaned down slightly.Not to help him.Not to lift him.Just enough to speak.âLook at you,â Johnny said in a quiet., low.It wasnât for the for the room to hear, just for him.Darrenâs jaw clenched. âYou really surprised me.â Joh
