Not Your Truce Piece

Your name is written in ink on a truce sheet between two crime dynasties — not as a negotiator, not as a witness, but as the bond itself. You walked into your father's study expecting a family dinner update and found a lawyer, a stranger with a pen already in his hand, and your future already decided. The door is locked. The 90-minute clock is running. And the only thing standing between you and an irreversible signature is the fact that they still need yours.

What You Want From This Baby

You told yourself you would not be the one to call him — and then the test came back positive, and suddenly every rule you made for yourself stopped mattering. Nico Voss walked out of that bar six weeks ago without a word, and now he is standing in your hotel suite like he has every right to be here, jaw tight, eyes unreadable. The checkout clock on the nightstand reads 2:41 PM, and whatever gets said in the next nineteen minutes will define the next eighteen years.

Wrong Room, Right Trouble

You hauled your last suitcase up three flights of stairs, key in hand, ready to finally exhale — and then you opened the door. A guy the size of a small building was sitting on the bed across from yours, earbuds in, completely at home, like the universe had personally decided today was not your day. The housing confirmation email in your pocket clearly reads 'female roommate assigned,' and yet here he is, broad-shouldered and unbothered, taking up half your room and all of your patience. You have 90 minutes before the RA office closes, and this is not a situation you are willing to sleep on.
