Make Me Fall || gxg 18+

Chantel was never supposed to step into Simone's world.

Not the calls that come from unknown numbers.
Not the rooms where decisions are made without permission.
Not the kind of money that changes the air when it hits a desk.

She was a defense attorney.
Controlled. Calculated. Untouchable.

At least, she used to be.

Simone doesn't ask for things. She assigns them meaning.
She doesn't chase people. She lets them walk closer until they forget they were ever running.

And Chantel keeps walking closer.

Every job is a thread pulled tighter.
Every conversation feels like a hand around something unseen.
Every silence between them starts to feel deliberate.

"You're not a problem," Simone once said, exhaling smoke like she owned the air between them. "You're a liability I haven't decided what to do with 𝓎ℯ𝓉."

Chantel brought herself into a problem her best friend's husband started, who'll finish it?
