Don’t get me wrong; I’m glad she’s making the effort to call me, even though I haven’t been doing the same. I stare at the phone, wondering if I should pick it up.

She’s stuck around for so long. She came to our office for training and stayed with me even after she went back to Canada.

The phone suddenly stopped ringing, and I pulled my eyes away from it, trying to gather my thoughts. The phone started ringing again.

I knew I had to answer because she wouldn’t stop calling until she heard from me. So, I swiped the phone and answered the call.

“Nadine,” she breathed out in relief, “you got me so worried.”

I could hear the concern in her voice, and it made me feel a bit better. But my voice choked with tears as I realized how she cared for me, even though I hadn't been there for her.

“Nadine, are you alright?” she asked as tears started flowing down my cheeks.

I didn’t want to say anything because I didn’t want her to know I’d been crying and make her even more worried.

“Nadine?” she c

I know I promised him I wouldn't, I wonder how my life would have been different if I hadn't caught my sister in bed with Jake. Would I have gotten my happily ever after with him?I also think about my strained relationship with Nathalie. More than anything, I wish we could have a healthy relationship as sisters.I also think about my dad. He never showed me love as a child, always taking Nathalie’s side in everything. My mom suffered because of his behavior, especially when he didn’t care for her during her illness, even though he could have easily paid for her hospital bills.My mother’s illness is what pushed me to accept the contract marriage with Logan, and that turned out to be the worst decision I’ve ever made.And t

    When I got to my room, I placed my hand on my chest, feeling a rollercoaster of emotions just from seeing this stranger. It felt strange and wrong at the same time. Trying to shake off the feelings, I unpacked my bag. I noticed there were some beauty essentials and toiletries I needed, so I bought them earlier.I took them out and arranged them where they should be. I also bought a new SIM card so I could communicate more easily.Feeling hungry, I went back downstairs, relieved to see that the handsome stranger had left.“Syd,” I called out.“I’m here,” as I followed her voice to a room and knocked on the door.“Come in.”I walked in and was in awe of her luxurious bedroom.The room was stunning, with a large, plush bed draped in soft, expensive-looking linens. “Wow, you’re living a princess kind of life,” as I took it all in. “How come I haven’t met your parents?”“Oh, my parents,” they’re on vacation. They were once divorced, but then my dad realized he couldn’t live without my m

    I looked at her, stunned, wondering how she knew I was pregnant. I didn’t want her to see me as a burden because of it.She sensed my hesitation and moved closer, holding my hand. “Nadine, I’m not trying to push you to tell me. I just want you to be comfortable around me.”“Or have I given you any reason to?” I shook my head vigorously. “No, no, and then hugged her tightly, becoming emotional again. “Oh Sydney, you’re just too good to be true.”Sydney hugged me back gently. “I’m glad you feel that way. We’re friends, and I want you to know that you can trust me with anything.”I pulled back slightly, wiping away a tear. “It means so much to me to hear that. I’ve been so worried about how to handle everything.”“I’m here with you every step of the way,” Sydney said. “And that baby is my godson. I won’t let any harm come to him, not even from that guy—what’s his name again?”Through a mix of laughter and tears, I said, “Logan.”“Yes, Logan. And we’re going to make sure he knows he can’

    Thankfully, Lily called my attention, giving me a reason to tear my gaze away from him. I quickly made my way to the back to meet her, trying to shake off the unease. Just before I moved completely away from the front counter, I turned back and saw that they were talking to Zoey.Lily handed me another form, apologizing for forgetting to give it to me earlier. "This one is for your account details," she explained.I filled out the form, glad for the distraction. “Thank you,” I said, handing it back to Lily.When I stepped back into the shop, I noticed the two men were still there, chatting casually with Zoey. I tried to focus on my work, arranging flowers and making sure everything looked perfect. Zoey glanced over at me with a small smile as if she could tell I was still a bit uneasy. I smiled back and kept working.Zoey came over to where I was standing, and I couldn’t hold back my curiosity any longer. “Who are those men?” “Ethan and Mason,” Zoey said with a grin. “They’re th

    The day at the flower shop went by in a blur, and I was surprised at how easily I seemed to fit in. Ethan and Mason were still hanging around the shop, and I wondered what their deal was. I tried my best to avoid them to keep my first day from getting any more awkward than it already had been.Lily soon came outside and said, “You can leave once it’s five. Someone else will take over from where you left off.” Then she headed towards Ethan and Mason.“Thank you, Lily,” I said as I picked up my bag. My hands were already aching from cutting and arranging flowers. During lunch, I had ordered food to be delivered since I wasn’t familiar with the area. I didn’t want any trouble finding my way back to the shop because, honestly, I’m terrible at remembering directions.As I was about to step out the door, Mason walked closer to me. I took a moment to check him out. He was wearing black jeans and a black T-shirt, with perfectly styled blonde hair. His chiseled jaw and inviting smile, comp

    I arrived at work earlier than usual, even though I hadn’t slept well the night before. I could figure out why I was so restless. After Sydney and I had our fun back-and-forth about guys and their body parts, I was laughing so hard. I didn’t know she had such a cheeky side.As I settled into my work, I tried to shake off the tiredness. The office was quiet, so I used the early hours to catch up on tasks and organize my space.Sydney is managing her father's business and doing well. She never ceases to amaze me. She’s decided to avoid serious relationships because of past heartache. Now, she prefers no-strings-attached friendships with men, just to satisfy her lady bit. She has an active sex life.Today, I woke up from a terrifying dream that made my heart race. In the dream, Logan stabbed Asher multiple times while I just stood there, doing nothing. I cried my eyes out in the dream, and when I woke up, I could still feel the tears rolling down my face. It was so unsettling.I tried

    Did he have to follow me to work again after I made it clear I didn’t want anything to do with him? It’s starting to get on my nerves. I had to buy a new dress I hadn’t planned and spend extra cash on coffee.Sure, he agreed to pay, but I said no.But I didn’t want to deal with any man right now, no matter what their intentions were. I just want to avoid the whole mess.I needed to stay focused on my work and not let Ethan’s presence throw me off balance. I glanced over at the counter and saw him still examining the flowers, looking deeply focused.But I couldn’t hold back any longer. I walked up to him, and as soon as I approached, he looked up and met my gaze. “Can I help you, Ms. Witte?” he asked.I was taken aback that he even knew my last name. Why did he have to insert himself where he wasn’t wanted? What was his deal?I tried to steady my voice and not let my irritation show. “I just wanted to know why you’re here,” I said. “I made it clear earlier that I don’t want to have an

    I froze when I heard the voice behind me. I turned around and saw that it was Ethan. I wasn’t sure how to feel, should I be happy that he stood up for me, or should I just roll my eyes? This was something I had under control, and now it looks like he was a superhero who saved me from a bully. But I could feel the small thrill that ran through me. “Get a grip,” I scolded myself.The guy looked up and saw that Ethan wasn’t pleased. He gave Ethan a disdainful look, his hand forming into a fist. "You think because you own half the town you can intimidate me? Hell no. You know what, get a life," he sneered.Ethan wasn’t bothered at all. He stepped closer, and everyone watched to see what would happen. "I’m not going to let you cause trouble here, and I don’t appreciate you talking down to one of my employees. So get out, just like she told you earlier," Ethan said, his voice low while pointing towards the door.The man’s eyes looked around the room, looking for support, but I could te

My heart leaps with joy, pounding so hard I feel it might burst from my chest. “I’m right where I should be,” she whispers.It feels surreal. “Say that again, Nadine,” I urged, my face lighting up with happiness.“Oh, stop, Logan,” she replies, covering her face with her hands.Unable to contain my excitement, I scoop her up in a bridal carry and head up the stairs.“Drop me! I can walk by myself!” she laughs, but I can’t help my joy as I carry her with happiness.“Where are you taking me?” she asks, laughing.“To my bathroom.

    He moves his hand down, sliding my pants aside, and finds my clit with his fingers. I shudder, arching my back as he continues to press deeper. He adds another finger, fucking me with it, but it doesn’t come close to satisfying the longing that’s consumed me for years. No amount of self-control can hold back the desire that surges through me.His fingers alone can’t quench my thirst. All I want is his dick inside me, filling me, while my clit clench around him.He slams into me with all the raw power I remember from our first night together, igniting a fire deep in me.That night is etched in my memory, and each time I use my toy, I picture him, as I thrust in and out reliving the raw connection I feel that reckless night.As he drives deeper, sensations flood back, every gasp, every moan, every brush of his skin against mine.

He swings into action immediately, without hesitation, as if he’s been waiting for this moment. What does this man do to me?

I know it sounds cliché, but it’s the damn truth. He owns me, and I’m sure he feels the same. My encounter with Chris is a wake-up call, reminding me to hold on tight to what I have. Rosa’s words echo in my mind, even if she thinks I didn’t hear: I shouldn’t let a good man slip away.“Oh, Nad,” he whispers, his hands roaming over my body, cupping my butt. I wrap my legs around him, keeping our lips locked.He carries me to the couch, laying me down gently before finally pulling away.“What the hell, Logan?” I snap, frustration bubbling up like a child denied th
