Chapter 39Damian PriestPOVOn my tenth birthday my father told me, I had to make sure I acted differently from my brother in public. We needed to be distinctive. Even though we were identical twins my parents never dressed us the same. My brother was older by a couple of minutes and for that he was crowned King. Rowan grew up with a lot of responsibility whereas I was treated as secondary. Rowan shouldered everyone’s burdens whether it was because he cared or out of duty he’d always be there when you needed him.Why am I thinking about that now? While my brother was in surgery? I knew what it meant for my future… My father would have me replace my brother in meetings, travelling in front of the media.My father and mother walks in hand in hand. He looks at me. My mother runs to me. I hug her.“Any word yet?” My mother asks.I shake my head.Andre is sitting not far away. His head in his hands.“Rossi.” My father calls out to him.Andre stands up straight. His hair was a mess, blood

Chapter 40 – Nightmare Rowan’s dream… “Angie, I’m telling you don’t do this…” I sigh raking my fingers through my hair. I was so frustrated having the same argument over and over again. Angie rolls her eyes. “You can’t stop love and she’s in love. Why would you stand in her way. I thought you loved her. you sure as hell don’t seem like it now.” “Of course, I love her. It doesn’t make what she’s doing right. Stay away from here Angie.” I warn her. Angie shakes her head before storming out of the house. Frustrated with my wife I storm toward the gym. I was going to work out all of this pent-up anger I have building within me. I’m set to take over from my father in just a few years, yet no one trusts me to do a good job. They say I’m too soft for this business. Yet I’d killed a rat when I was just ten years old like they wanted. I’d passed all the tests they set out in front of me, yet I was too fucking soft because I allowed Angie to speak back to me at the meeting last mont

To be honest I have no idea how my big brother listens to any of this shit. It sounds like they are talking out of their asses half the time.I look at Rayna beside me. She meets my eye and nods.“Mr. Reyes what are the projected sales for the plan?” she asks.He looks startled. He looks at us wide eyed… “Mr. Priest… My team is working on…”Rayna cuts him off. “You presented us an incomplete proposal?” She asks.He stutters.I shake my head getting up. I tie the two buttons on my suit jacket. I leave the room.The only reason I haven’t said a word during the meeting is. Because my voice is deeper than Rowan’s and I haven’t gotten Rowan’s voice down perfectly yet.“That’s went well…” Rayna says.I roll my eyes. “Wanna get naked in my office?” I wink at her.She looks over at me and pulls a face. “Fuck it’s creepy fucking someone with my bosses’ fa

There’s no way Rowan would just throw me away for her. What happened to the video I sent her before they got married, did Rowan get it before it could get to her?

Chapter 44 – Rowan wakes up.Rowan Priest (Dream)POVI stand in front of the mirror getting ready for my wedding day… I remember the first time I saw Grace, seeing her shivering from the cold, the fear yet determination in her eyes, was admiring. Grace isn’t like any woman I’ve ever come across, she’s weak yet strong at the same time. She’s maintained her smile even through the good, the bad and the ugly. She’s seen the worst of the world, yet she’s maintained her innocence and naivety, it’s one of the many things I admire about her.When she’s over talking, I don’t have to talk myself out of putting a bullet in her head, the way I have to with Gunner. The way I have to with almost everyone in my life. When Grace and I got married in Vegas I saw her in a new light. I’ve wanted to do nothing more than protect her, keep her innocence. I almost went back on everything and let her go free, yet a selfish part of me wanted to hold onto her. Let some of her light brighten up my darkness.

He looks embarrassed, his face is slightly blushed. “I couldn’t shake the feeling that she might be my father’s illegitimate child. She looks so much similar to Angelica, I just had to be sure…” he says softly."This is accurate?” I ask.He nods. “She’s not my little sister…” he sounds disappointed.I look over at him. “Did you wan

You look like someone stole your favorite toy.” I tease him.“I’m just thinking about what would have happened if we had lost your brother. What would have happened if you didn’t arrive on time. We’d be mourning your brother right now.” He sighs messing his hair up by running his fingers through his hair.“But we didn’t lose him.
