"What's up?" Zara Lane cut in from the couch, chewing on a Clif Bar.

"What are you doing here? Where's Lylah?" Jess Vaughn asked.

Zara laughed and stood up. "Rude much?"

"You know I didn't?"

"I know," she smiled. "I just finished working out at The Nexus Fitness Center and had to shower before I went all the way home to my apartment. I might have let myself in right before Lylah left to meet some guy."

"Well."

Jess left her sentence hanging.

Zara reached for her water bottle on the counter, looking Jess up and down. "You radiate like you're glowing on the inside."

"I lost my virginity," Jess blurted out.

"You what?" Zara asked.

"I lost my virginity," Jess replied, her heart racing in her chest.

"To who?!"

She snorted. "To maybe. an older dude?"

"Like someone who's eighty?"

"No!" Jess exclaimed. "Who do you think I am?"

Zara laughed.

"Like someone who's twice my age, not eighty. He's my dad's best friend."

Mouth hanging open, Zara stared at Jess with wide eyes. "He's your what?!"

"Dang, Zara, do you need a hearing aid from all that music you blast when you work out?" Jess rolled her eyes good-naturedly, her cheeks burning hotter by the second because it was so bad to say this out loud. "He's my dad's best friend."

"Oh my God," Zara said. "We need all the deets tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Jess repeated. "Where are you going?"

"It's movie night with Caspian Black."

"Movie night again?" Jess hummed.

Zara smiled softly. "Yes."

"When are you going to finally admit that you love him?"

Zara rolled her eyes. "I do not love him. We're friends."

"Friends who fuck?"

Her eyes popped wide. "We do not."

Jess laughed. "But you want to."

Waving her hand away, Zara made a move for the door. "I'll see you later."

Before she could make it out the door, Jess grabbed her wrist. "Please."

"I have to go," Zara said to him. "Caspian's waiting for me."

Shrugging Jess off, she smiled warmly and pushed out of the apartment. Jess sighed and closed the door behind her, pouting back to the couch. She flopped onto it, surrounded by only her own thoughts.

Within a couple of minutes, there was a banging on the front door. Jess sprang from the couch and went towards it, searching for Zara's keys since she'd forgotten them more times than she could count.

"Don't tell me you forgot your keys this time. You always do?"

At her door instead of Zara stood Kai Rylan with his furrowed brows in an angry scowl and a rope in his hand.

Hunched over his desk overlooking Ashwood City, Kai Rylan stared out the window and let out a stiff breath. He'd not been able to look Gideon Vaughn, Jess's dad, in the eye all day, and if he didn't get about it, he'd start to notice.

"Are you okay?" Gideon asked.

"I'm fine," Kai replied quickly, yanking his attention away. "Just stressed."

"What's going on?" Gideon asked.

"No, I'm good." Kai rubbed his face.

Gideon waved the folder Adelaide Grey held to her body. "What's this report?"

Adelaide handed him the folder.

"Just some figures from last year. The firm has grown about twenty-four percent since last quarter, mostly because of Adelaide's efforts. Nothing bad," Gideon clarified. "I just like to get you riled every now and then."

Kai rolled his eyes since Gideon had been doing this since they started the business five years ago, and he should have known better. But he couldn't shake his head. All day long, he'd kept thinking of her.

His phone was on the desk, and he picked it up an inch in his direction to see the notification. His face recognition system wasn't having any issues unlocking the phone, and a message from Jess Vaughn appeared on the screen. It was not a standard message, but a naked picture with the caption, Bet you can't guess what I'm doing without your permission.

Pulling his pants tight, he turned the phone off in a rush and jammed it into his pocket. He glanced across at Gideon, who had no idea that his own innocent daughter's naked would be in front of him if he were to turn it back on.

She was going to be getting him so much fucking trouble. But she wasn't going to get away with it. No fucking way.

"By the way," Adelaide cleared her throat, "I'm happy to work underneath you."

"Yes, me too," Kai lied. "Make sure you're in the office by six every morning."

"Yes, sir."

"Address me by Kai," he clarified, glancing down at his phone. Because Sir and Master were reserved for someone else.

"They totally fucked," Lylah Kim giggled at Jess, her gaze lingering on Zara at the counter of The Daily Grind.

Zara hadn't responded to them since the previous night, and this'd only made it stronger that the running joke that she and Caspian Black were hooking up was actually true.

Zara grabbed her Ashley's Egg Sandwich and headed towards them, her complexion glowing and a huge smile on her face. She slowed down her walk, noticing Lylah's naughty expression, and then stopped dead in her tracks. "What?"

"Is he good?" Lylah cocked an eyebrow.

"Is who good?"

"Caspian."

Rolling her eyes dramatically, Zara sat down next to Jess and grasped her sandwich. "If we ever get together-and we won't because we're totally friends-you'll be the first to hear it, okay?"

"Sort of," Lylah tapped her chin, "I think that's a lie."

"Get real," Zara hummed. "You think I could ever keep it from you? Jess couldn't."

Lylah tore her focus to Jess, her eyes erupting. "You what?"

Snip on her phone, impatiently waiting for Kai to reply, Jess sealed her lips, her face reddening. "Oh, well, I might or might not have gotten busy with my dad's best friend last night and-"

Lylah slammed her hands on the table and stood up. "And you didn't warn me?!"

"Anyway, you were with Professor Orion Welles last night."

Zara shook her head as if she was enjoying the melodrama. "Jess hooking up with her dad's best friend. Lylah sleeping with her sex ed professor. And always me who is the butt of everyone's slutty rumors."

"Because clearly you and Caspian Black are banging," someone muttered behind them.

Mei-Ling Wong came over to their table and placed her backpack on the floor beside Lylah.

As Mei-Ling ordered a coffee, Jess reclined in her chair and opened up her messages to Kai. She had been firing off some sassy ones to him this morning when he was at work and she was lounging around at home.

Continue to next part

She loved him until she lost herself. Now, behind locked doors and shattered glass, she must learn to breathe again. When she first met Lloyd, he was magnetic and intoxicating. The kind of man who turned every head when he entered a room, who spoke in promises sweet enough to taste. With him, she felt chosen, cherished, and safe. But safety was an illusion, and love became a weapon. And slowly, piece by piece, he dismantled her until nothing of the woman she once was remained. Now institutionalized after a breakdown, she begins to piece together the brutal truth of what really happened in the shadows of their love story. Memories sting like open wounds: the manipulation disguised as tenderness, the apologies that blurred into threats, the desperate hope that tomorrow he'd be the man she fell for again. Yet beneath the grief and the shame, a quiet rebellion stirs, a vow to reclaim her voice, her freedom, and her life. Because this is not just a story of how she fell apart. It is a story of how she rises. Haunting, raw, and achingly intimate, Boys like him peels back the glittering mask of a toxic love affair to reveal the kind of darkness that hides in plain sight, and the unbreakable strength it takes to escape it.

Love is separated by mountains and seas, and long separation does not bring sorrow

8.3

Everyone in Northwood knew Maria as the woman who had betrayed William. Though she was the family’s adopted daughter, she had seduced her own nephew, William, dragging him to bed and shattering the goodwill between their families. Then, just as both sides were reluctantly coming to terms with the situation, she accidentally caused the death of William’s father, stole a fortune, and vanished. The once-glorious family lay in ruins because of her. Five years later, the woman who had once driven William to the brink of tearing Northwood apart was now draped over some stranger’s chest, planning her own funeral. “Buy the plot next to my sister’s. The urn has to be Barbie pink. And don’t forget to stud it with diamonds.” As her friend, Scott couldn’t take it. “Maria, it’s early-stage lung cancer. It’s treatable. It’s just money, isn’t it? William has plenty. If you just… apologized, he’d forgive you.” He never understood these two stubborn souls. “It was all a misunderstanding. If you just explained, wouldn’t that settle it?” Maria took a slow drag of her cigarette and said nothing. Inside, everything was bitterness. How could she explain? Back then, Samuel had been working undercover in the Syndicate. Drugged, hooked, he’d betrayed the operation and sold out his own wife—Kimberly, another undercover agent. In the end, Maria had been the one to pull the trigger. She had seized that moment, taken over their mission, and used the stolen money as her ticket to stay embedded in the Syndicate. Forget that Samuel had always been William’s hero. She was the one who had killed his father. How could she, his father’s killer, ever be with him? Samuel’s last words still echoed in her mind: *Take these secrets to the grave. My son could never accept his hero father was a traitor.* She could still see his face, hear his voice. She couldn’t do it. She couldn’t tell William. Bitterness churned inside her. Maria exhaled a cloud of smoke. “It’s all in the past.” Too much stood between them. Loving each other was a luxury she could no longer afford. “The past? Then why are you still by his side?” Maria didn’t answer. Because the Syndicate had William in its sights. Even though the organization was mostly dismantled, the remnants were thirsty for revenge. William, as family to undercover agents, was the perfect target. She had to protect him. Swallowing the bitterness, Maria forced a smile. “Because I’m a bad woman. Bad women survive by conning men out of their money.” “So I send you for medicine, and you come here to pick up a man? Auntie, am I not giving you enough?” William’s voice cut through the air behind her, cold as steel. Before she could react, he seized her arm and dragged her back to the villa. The moment they were inside, he slammed her against the wall. “Do you know what you are? Slipping behind your patron’s back?” Maria offered a faint, joyless smile. “Done entertaining your precious Diane?” “Jealous?” William’s voice was icy. “Maria, know your place. You’re a kept woman. Don’t get ideas above your station.” She shot back, “For all I know, you don’t even work anymore. Diane’s nightly performances are pure bad theater. Who’d be jealous of that?” In an instant, William snapped. He scooped her up, carried her upstairs to a guest room, and threw her onto the bed. Her head cracked against the headboard. Pain bloomed—and then he was on her. His eyes were bloodshot, his grip on her arms bruising. Maria cried out, instinctively trying to shove him off, but he pinned her, immobile. He was like a starved beast, biting, claiming. His hands were branding irons, mapping her skin. A film of tears blurred Maria’s vision. She bit her lip hard, refusing to make another sound. Then William stopped. A sneer twisted his lips. “How depraved, Auntie. Getting turned on by your own nephew.” Maria mirrored his mockery. “Takes one to know one. Groping your father’s killer? That’s a new low.” The next second, a sharp crack echoed through the room. His palm struck her cheek, hard enough to split her lip. William stared down at her, hatred burning in his eyes. “Don’t you dare talk about him!” He snatched up his clothes and stormed into the next room. Only when the sounds of William and her niece’s intimacy began to drift through the wall did Maria finally go limp, her body sliding down to rest against the cold plaster. Their ragged breaths filled her ears. William’s hate-filled eyes filled her mind. A pressure built in her chest, sharp and suffocating. Then her face went deathly pale. A spray of crimson hit the floor. She wiped the blood from her mouth with the back of her hand. Her eyes were dull, her smile a ghostly, bitter thing. Hate her. Good. That was the point. Once she caught the last of the criminals, she would vanish from his life for good. That night, the sounds of passion lasted until dawn. Maria smoked until dawn. She’d thought she was numb to it. But hearing the man she loved
