Prologue - Just Roommates

  Leah Henderson was petite in every sense of the word. At twenty-four, she was slim, weighing just eighty-three pounds (83 lbs), and stood at five feet three inches (5’3”). She wasn’t as busty as her best friend, Mary Anna, but she wasn’t flat either—her curves were subtle but present. Her eyes were a mesmerizing mix of blue and green, though the exact shade was hard to pin down. Were they bluish-green or greenish-blue? Cyanic or aqua? It depended on the day, but one thing was certain—they leaned more toward blue when she was moody. Large and round, her eyes were easily one of her most striking features. With a heart-shaped face, ever-smiling lips, and a button nose, Leah had a beauty that turned heads. Though she sometimes envied her best friend’s curvier figure, she never felt ashamed of her own body. She wouldn’t flaunt it, but that didn’t stop her from admiring her reflection in the full-length mirror from time to time. Her blonde hair was naturally curly, but for reasons only...

Chapter One - Just Roommates

Chapter Three - Just Roommates

Leah As soon as the elevator doors slid open, I froze. A man stood outside, surrounded by a few IT staff. Not just any man—an unreasonably handsome one. Tall, confident, with an air of quiet authority that made him stand out instantly. "Oh! Isn't that Leah?" one of the IT staff said. "We were just about to come down to your floor." I barely registered his words. My brain was too busy processing the sight in front of me. "This is Peter O’Brien, the CEO of Cybernetics," he continued, gesturing toward the man. "He’ll be leading the investigation and working on a solution to the cyberattack." Peter O’Brien. The name sounded familiar, but I couldn’t quite place it. A sudden tap on my shoulder made me jolt. "Earth to Leah," the IT guy said, raising an eyebrow. "Oh! Sorry, I zoned out," I admitted, embarrassed. I mentally smacked myself. Not only had I been caught staring, but I had been standing there like an idiot. I cleared my...
