46. Tugging at Loose Threads

Author: Priyal Dessai
last update Last Updated: 2024-11-29 00:22:06
The next few weeks are a whirlwind. Meera and Anya morph into an unstoppable force, each in their own way. Meera, with her relentless optimism, ensures I show up, ready to work, while Anya’s sharp efficiency slices through any lingering hesitation I might have — and we’re careful to never touch back on the topic we discussed. Together, they completely monopolize my waking hours, filling every second with preparations for the promotional lineup for Choose Me, Choose You.

I’m told by my father’s assistant that the meeting for Turning Point Industries is pushed forward a couple of weeks, and I’m grateful for that delay. Anything to not think of Ric. Anything at all.

Meetings with the production company’s PR team become my new normal. I’m trained to stick to the key promotional messages, avoid spoilers, and, most importantly, handle tricky or personal questions — a section that feels tailor-made for my current situation. My reputation is, let’s say, delicate at the moment.

Aura and Hugo,
Priyal Dessai

    The nightmare grips me like a vice, dragging me under its suffocating weight. I see Neil, standing precariously at the edge of the under-construction building. He wavers, his arms flailing, and before I can scream, he falls. The sickening thud of his skull hitting the concrete below reverberates in my chest, sharp and deafening.One moment, I’m standing on the floor where he slipped, staring down in horror. The next, I’m on the ground, gazing up at the unfinished structure. Ric stands there, shrouded in shadow, his posture casual but his expression anything but. The smirk on his face is cruel, chilling, and it twists my stomach into knots.I jolt awake, gasping for air. My hands clutch the sheets, damp with sweat, my body trembling uncontrollably. I can’t shake the image of him standing at the edge of that building, watching Neil fall with that look of triumph. It wasn’t real, I remind myself. Just a dream. But it felt so vivid, so wrong, that my stomach churns violently.Stumbling to

    The disappointment is immediate, a ripple that passes through the room. A few people exchange glances, their expressions ranging from subtle irritation to barely masked frustration.“Not ideal,” someone murmurs under their breath, just loud enough for me to hear.My cheeks burn, but I refuse to let it show. Straightening in my seat, I force a smile, plastering on the kind of fake confidence that’s gotten me through countless red carpets and press interviews.“Don’t worry,” I say, my tone breezy, as if this was all part of the plan. “We’ve got this. The deal’s as good as sealed.”There’s a pause, the room teetering between disbelief and begrudging acceptance. A few nods follow, hesitant but hopeful, and I latch onto them like a lifeline.“Let’s pivot,” I add quickly, gesturing toward the charts on the screen. “These projections are strong. They speak for themselves. What matters now is how we present the vision, the story behind the numbers. That’s what clients want to buy into.”It’s a

    Chris approaches with a wide grin, a look of surprise in his blue eyes. “I didn’t expect to see you here,” he expresses happily. “But you seem happy to see me,” I counter. Chris gives a smirk before he turns his attention momentarily to the duo with me. “Hugo, my man,” he greets, patting Hugo on his back. “Aura, you look fabulous.”“You don’t look too bad yourself,” she answers, winking as she takes another sip from her wine glass. Chris guides me away, slipping his hand around my waist in a way that’s still friendly. His voice drops to a whisper. “So what have you been up to since the last time we met?” “Well, I thought my life was being featured in the tabloids everyday since,” I remark sarcastically. Chris nods knowingly. “They all love you. And they love keeping up with you. So the media’s just doing what they need to. Feeding them details that aren’t true. Throwing in scandalous rumours here and there. Right now it’s about you. In some months, it could be about Aura. Or me.”

    The words hits me like a physical blow, sucking the air from my lungs.“She’s what?” I whisper, barely able to hear myself over the blood pounding in my ears.Meera nods numbly, her face pale and drawn. “They just found out. Apparently, it happened earlier this evening. Details are sketchy, but…” She trails off, her voice cracking slightly.I release her shoulders and stumble back a step, my thoughts scrambling for purchase. Dead? Hayley? The same Hayley who messaged me last night, cryptic and urgent, asking to meet?“Are you sure it’s her?” My voice is trembling, but I don’t care.Meera hesitates, her lips pressing into a tight line. “It’s on the news. They haven’t released full details yet, but her name’s been confirmed. Natalie, this isn’t good. Not for anyone.”My stomach churns violently, and for a moment, I fear I’ll be sick again. Hayley Murphy is dead. The woman who in the last few weeks had been tangled in my life — and Mike’s — gone all of a sudden.“What… what happened?” I m

    The moment I wake up, I reach for my phone, desperate to prove to myself that it was just a dream. Ric hadn’t really called me in the middle of the night, stayed silent for what felt like an eternity, whispered a single, strained “hello,” and then abruptly hung up.But there it is.In my call log: Incoming Call — Ric, 3:02 AM.My thumb hovers over the screen for less than a second before I hit call back, the urge overpowering every ounce of restraint. The phone rings, once, twice... and then declines.I stare at the screen in disbelief before I try again. This time, the call doesn’t even connect. His number is blocked.Blocked.Groaning, I throw the phone across the room, the dull thud as it lands on the plush carpet doing little to calm my racing thoughts. Pathetic. That’s what I feel. And so, so out of control.Everything in my life is a mess that I can’t seem to grasp, let alone stop. Events crash down around me like waves, and all I can do is react before the next one pulls me unde

    I can’t confront Anya right away because Chris and I are called in for the chemistry read.The read itself goes… smoothly. Better than I expected, honestly. There’s always been an effortless comfort between Chris and me. He was my first co-actor, my first on-screen partner, and a friend despite the detachment over the years. Sliding into our roles together feels natural, as if we’ve done this a hundred times before.The scene is heavy — raw emotions, unresolved tension, a life-or-death moment between our characters — but somehow, we make it work. When the final lines are spoken, the room is still, save for a few murmurs of approval. From the looks on everyone’s faces, it’s clear they enjoyed watching us. That sense of accomplishment washes over me, momentarily lifting the weight I’ve been carrying.Afterward, Chris’s casting is officially confirmed.“I just found out,” he says, his grin wide as he approaches me.“Congratulations!” I beam, pulling him into a brief hug. “You’ll be amazin

    You may not have even realised.Those words follow me for the rest of the evening, haunting my every waking moment. I didn’t realise, no. Not until just a few hours ago when it seemed like a possibility. The possibility of being pregnant with Ric’s child. I don’t know what I was expecting to hear, until the very last second before the doctor reentered with the results. But miscarriage had never struck my mind. It seems so bizarre now. A cruel joke, almost. Here’s a problem, but wait there’s a solution. And I’m not satisfied with either. The doctor said there had to be some more tests that needed to be done because she found something suspicious. I was too dazed to be concerned, but Meera stepped forward and asked if it was something to worry about. A lost child.I don’t think anything can take your attention away from that. A child you didn’t even realise you were carrying. On the way back, Meera tries to uplift my sullen mood by saying that it wasn’t quite a baby — just a bunch

    I can’t tell if it’s the adrenaline coursing through me or the way his dark eyes hold mine, as if he’s searching for something he’s terrified to find.“Try,” I say again, my voice shaky. It’s a plea, a desperate attempt to save this. Save us. Whatever we are, I know it’s worth saving. I don’t know what thoughts are swirling behind those dark eyes, what decisions they’re weighing, what explanation he’s trying to weave into coherent words. All I know is that — whatever it is, I’ll take it. God, I hate him for making me feel like this — so exposed, so vulnerable. But I hate myself more for still wanting him, for needing him, even now.And when his eyes return to me it’s all I can do to not run to him and wrap my arms around him. A part of my brain tries to remind me of the way he dismissed me, disregarding all the time we spent together, all the kisses. But he did just say that he couldn’t keep pretending I didn’t matter, right? “Ric,” I prompt, unable to keep my patience any longer. “I

  • The Man I Shouldn't Want: A Game of Seduction & Lies   Epilogue

    [Two years later]My body is slick with sweat, every nerve ending alive and tingling as Ric’s hands explore my skin. His touch still feels new, still ignites a thirst in me that has no desire to quench anytime soon. His lips trail down my neck, making me heave, making me almost lose my mind. I arch into him, my fingers digging into the muscles of his back, urging him closer. His hands roam over my body, tracing the curves of my hips, the softness of my thighs, and the sensitive spots that make me gasp with pleasure. He knows exactly how to touch me—he has mastered the art of how to make me feel alive and desired every breathing moment. His fingers find their way between my legs, teasing and stroking until I'm writhing beneath him, desperate for more.“Fuck, Ric. I love you,” I breathe, squealing. “I love you. I love you. I love you.”“You're so beautiful,” he murmurs against my wet folds before his lips capture mine in kiss so deep, I can’t tell where he ends and where I begin. He

Today is the day he falls, and now, he can see it with his own eyes—his empire crumbling. The delusion is gone. Mike’s voice echoes through the courtroom. “I was threatened,” he says, eyes darting nervously toward Elliot. “I kept silent because I feared for my life.”I sit beside Ric in the rows reserved for the trial attendees, my heart pounding. Ric leans in, his voice low and teasing, “I can’t believe this is happening. How did you manage to pull that off?”I give him a sly smile, keeping my eyes on Mike.

    Getting into Mike's office is surprisingly easy. I thought it would be the most difficult task of all, but now, standing here, I realize just how wrong I was. Maybe it’s because I made it happen—my own actions leading to the lack of staff and security. With investors pulling out, his new business flopping instantly, and even his car gone, I wonder just how deep in debt Mike really is.I look around the office, taking in the bare walls and the lack of personal touches. It’s a cold place. It gives me a sense of satisfaction, knowing how little work must happen here. The only thing I find remotely appealing is the fireplace—if you can even call it that. It’s more of a decorative piece than anything else.The door creaks open, and Mike steps in, freezing as his hand remains on the doorknob. His eyes widen when he sees me, and I can almost hear the gears turning in his head.“Relax,” I say softly. “No need to be on alert. I have a proposition for you.”He doesn't move, his eyes darting aro

And with only Meera by my side who is still recovering from the traumatic event that occurred at the lakehouse, I find myself sitting in therapy sessions after experiencing several panic attacks. My days are s

    The rain-soaked air clings to my skin as the police car disappears down the road, taking Ric with it. My heart feels like it's been wrenched from my chest, leaving an empty, aching void. I can barely breathe as the reality of what just happened crashes down on me.We can’t stay here. The lakehouse is now a crime scene, and the officers made it clear we need to leave. The words still echo in my head: “This area is now under investigation. You’ll need to find somewhere else to stay.”Meera stands beside me, her face pale, clutching her phone like it’s a lifeline. Matt paces back and forth, still carrying the guilt on his face. I don’t think any of us had the slightest hint of something like this going down on a trip that was supposed to heal us. If anything, it has traumatised all of us beyond repair. But, the truth is out. Dad killed Neil. And he was so close to killing me and Ric…“We need to find a place,” I croak. Even if we could stay here, I wouldn’t, not with the memories of wh

    Another gunshot goes off, a millisecond later. My eyes fly open, but there’s no sensation of pain anywhere in my body. Instead, Dad crumples to the ground with a cry of pain. Panic envelopes me, muddling my mind. I can barely understand what’s going on around me. “Natalie, are you okay?” someone seems to ask, but my gaze is fixed on Dad, watching him struggle as he clutches his leg that is now bleeding with the gunshot. Then that someone shakes me by the shoulders, drawing me back to reality. It’s Meera. “Nat, please say something!” she urges, tears streaming down her cheeks. “W-What happened?” I blurt out, sounding hysterical, my chest heaving dangerously. Meera points out at the door. Matt stands there with a gun in his hand. When his eyes meet mine, his hand drops, and he falls to his knees, breathing hard. Shaking my head, I yell, “What the fuck just happened?” Meera seems to still be in her senses. She kicks the gun out of Dad’s reach. He continues to squirm, his blood st

    I don’t know if I ever thought of the words I’d say to him when I saw him again after what Mike told me. But watching him stand there right now, looking smug, I know that no words will ever justify the pure rage I feel. There’s an overwhelming need to hurt him. Badly. A throbbing pain in my hand pulls me from my rage. As I unclench my fist, I see the bloody marks my nails have left in my palm.“What are you doing here, Natalie? Why come to the lake house?” Dad asks in a calm voice that has a dangerous edge to it. I feign innocence. “Why, Dad? Can’t I come take a vacation here? Considering I had a man try to nearly kill me, after I've been subject to public humiliation by my cheater husband who you’ve always welcomed with open arms?” Pausing, I draw in a breath, afraid that the anger I feel will crush my lungs. “I should be the one asking that question. Why are you here? You never cared to visit when Mom brought Neil and me here. Why come now? And why do you have my phone?”He shakes

    The search of Neil’s room leaves us both drained and disheartened. I scrutinize every nook and cranny, explore every possible hiding spot. The floorboards groan under our weight as I lift the mattress, revealing nothing but dust and a few forgotten coins. Beneath the bed, there’s only a stray sock and a cobweb. The closet holds nothing but old clothes and a pair of worn-out shoes. Even the old dresser, heavy and reluctant, is moved away from the wall, revealing nothing more than a few dust bunnies and a forgotten book.We find nothing out of the ordinary—no hidden notes or mysterious objects. The futility and exhaustion overwhelm me. I glance at Ric and see disappointment etched on his face, a mirror of my own feelings. The room is a mess. Neil’s old clothes are strewn about, furniture askew, and the air thick with dust.I slump onto the edge of the bed, raking my fingers through my hair in frustration. The coolness of the room does little to soothe the heat of my irritation. “There ha

    “What are you saying, Chris?” I ask, my voice trembling slightly.He sighs, shaking his head. When he speaks again, his voice is low, almost embarrassed. “I should’ve known.”I press him further. “When did they say that?”“When Anya came to me with the fake dating idea,” he explains, running a hand through his hair. “She said it was… but that was a lie too. You never wanted this.”“What exactly did she tell you?” I ask, my heart pounding.He exhales sharply. “That you liked me but were too shy to act on it. And Meera, it was her who asked me to show up at your penthouse that night—before you left for the lakehouse.”I feel the ground shift beneath me. “Chris, I didn’t know they said that,” I mumble, the weight of his words sinking in.He shakes his head, disappointment evident in his eyes. “I can’t believe this. I thought I knew what was going on, but now…”The sting of his disappointment cuts deep. “I’m sorry, Chris. I never wanted to hurt you.”There’s a long pause before he finally
