DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU NOW CHAPTER 33
“‘You seem his stalker, not his mother, Tora. Let him be. He’s not a baby anymore,’” his father countered.“‘Harald Gunnar Karlsen, shame on you for saying such an awful thing. I’m his mother. I must keep an eye on him… or call him… as often as I see fit,’” his mother replied. Magnus grinned, listening to his parents’ banter back and forth while he dug through his freezer.“‘You’re right, my sweet wife. I’m sorry for saying that. I’ll leave you two alone. Bye, son. See you tomorrow night.’”“Bye, Dad!” Tora and Harald Karlsen were unique. They’ve had their ups and downs but their love was as strong as ever. And their marriage… Even if it was far from perfect, it was the type of marriage Magnus wanted, and he’d thought he would have with Charlotte until she used him and dumped him. As for Sunny… She was definitely different. Still, until he knew for sure what was going on with her, what she was hiding, he would have to take it a

By mid-morning, Sunny knew Magnus was suspicious that she was up to something, and despite her best acting abilities, she couldn’t muster enough fake happiness to make him think otherwise. He didn’t outright ask her, which was the worst part. Instead, Magnus was quiet, barely smiling when she talked to him or when she asked what they were going to do for the day. He told her he had some paperwork to catch up on and spread his work out on the dining table.“I really need to take care of this,” Magnus said. “So, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep you much company until dinner. I’m sure you won’t mind.” His tone was so cold, that she almost lost it, but Sunny caught herself at the last second and shook her head brightly.“Of course not. I’ll just play ‘Halo 3’ all by my lonesome self,” she teased. But Magnus barely glanced at her. Her heart broke a little each time he gave her the easy brush off, but she told herself it was for his own go

Sunny looked at the outfits lying on the bed. Both seemed pretty elegant for a dinner with her fake in-laws. Normally, she wouldn’t care that much but the guests were Tora and Harald and she wanted to impress them.“One last time… Tomorrow, the fairytale will be over…” She was feeling so nervous… Like never before. There were so many things going on in her mind right now. The debt, Alec’s situation, the fact that her mother disappeared from the face of the Earth. And it didn’t help that Magnus started acting like she was a simple guest in his house. Like, suddenly, he didn’t know her. Like he didn’t have feelings for

“What? Magnus, please, calm down,” Sunny begged, but the hatred in his eyes froze her words in her mouth.“No! No, I won’t! You know why? Here’s why. I fell in love with all my soul with this woman for real!” he yelled, standing from the table to glare at her. “But you want to know the irony of the situation? She’s just another gold-digger… Just like Charlotte, the bitch, all Miss Makkena wants is my money. Fuck feelings! Fuck love!” Sunny’s mouth fell open in disbelief. How did he find out about Tony?“You… You did overhear me on the phone…” This wasn’t the way she wanted him to find out, even though she could explain it all!“Magnus, you didn’t hear everything…&
DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU NOW CHAPTER 37
All through the night, Sunny tossed and turned, trying not to cry, trying not to think of Magnus, trying to forget what happened that evening, in his penthouse, the way he humiliated her in front of his parents. After she returned to her little apartment, the moment she closed the door behind her, Sunny took off the clothes and shoes she chose to wear for the dinner and threw everything into the trash bin. She didn’t want to see them or wear them ever again. She took a quick shower and got in bed, determined to get some sleep.“Don’t you dare cry now!” she scolded herself. “Don’t you fucking dare! You’ll do it later. Right now, Alec needs you!” Nonetheless, there was no sleep to be found. Alec was still in Tony’s hands and she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to bring him home, to safety.“Oh, Alec, I told you to leave this apartment… If only you’d listen to me. You wouldn’t be at this critical point… fighting to stay alive.” Extremely early, she

Neither said a word until they were far away from the bar and Sunny’s knees gave out completely. She leaned her back against a wall, but her strength was inexistent and she slowly slid down, finishing on the pavement.“This is not even my fault…” she murmured and started to cry silently. “So, why am I being punished?” After passing his fingers through his black hair, Alec threw out a frustrated sigh and sat down on the pavement next to her. He put his head on her shoulder, ignoring the curious stares of people passing them by. Sunny covered her face with her hands and they stayed like this, in silence, for a few long minutes. At one point, Alec put his arm around her shoulder and Sunny stopped crying.“Schatz, thanks for getting me out of there… No one has ever done something like this for me. You are the most amazing human being I’ve ever met,” Alec told her slowly and kissed her temple. “Really.”“You shouldn’t have been there in the first place,” Sunny

Magnus glanced over his shoulder to find the brunette still standing there so he took the hand the man offered him.“Pleasure to meet you… Mister…?”“Amato. My name is Antonio Amato,” the man replied as his eyes narrowed on Magnus’s face. “But you can call me Tony. All my friends do.” Not impressed by the man, Magnus prepared to say his name.“Wait, wait… Don’t tell me. I think I know who you are! Your name is Magnus Karlsen.” Quite perplexed, Magnus nodded. Who was this guy? How come he knew him?“I’m surprised to see such a fine businessman like yourself here

Tora was in her living room, taking care of some things, before joining her husband on a short trip to Martha’s Vineyard when her cell phone rang. Maybe Magnus changed his mind and decided to call his mother finally… But when she looked at the ID, Tora froze.“Harald, darling… I’ll be right there,” she announced to her husband. He nodded, taking their luggage to the car. Tora answered the call.“Good morning, Yanis,” she replied.“‘Good morning, ma’am,’” the man said politely but seemed quite worried. “‘I’m sorry for bothering you…’”“Is Magnus alright, Yanis?” she asked quite anxious.“‘He is… Physically, at least, he is.’” His answer didn’t satisfy Tora, but she tried to maintain her composure.“Yanis, what is going on with my son?”“‘Ma’am, he is in love and he is suffering a great deal. It’s been over a week now since he’s spending every single day and night in his office.’”“He’s doing what? Why?”“‘It’s about Miss Makkena. He refuses to go to his pe

DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU NOW EPILOGUE
A FEW WEEKS LATER Sunny paced around the backstage area, cracking her knuckles until Alec rolled his eyes and told her to sit still so he could finish her makeup.“Oh, Alec… I can’t sit… I’m too nervous… This is the biggest day of my life! What if I forget my lines? What if I trip and fall? What if something bad happens?” Laughing, Alec guided her back to her chair and touched up her face.“You won’t, Mein Schatz! You are having a little panic attack, so, take a few deep breaths and calm down. Everything is going to be absolutely perfect. I promise you.”“You can’t promise, Alec… How do you know?” she asked, desperate.“Listen, sweetie, I am your best friend and best friends know these things,” he told her. “There… What do you think? Be brutally honest, please.” He stepped to the side, and Sunny gasped at her face.“There’s a thing I never understood… Why are you always better at putting makeup on than me?” Sunny asked, admiring his artwork. “You did an a

The clock hit nine, and Magnus waited for a knock at the door. Sunny stood in the doorway to her bedroom, ready to duck out of sight the second Tony arrived. Magnus was not going to have her anywhere near the man who thought he could control or take the woman he loved. She was his, and he’d prove it tonight.“Mag, maybe we should call Tony and ask him to meet somewhere else…”“Kitten, it’s too late now,” Magnus pointed out. “Besides, this is the right place to make that asshole understand that he played his last hand and lost. He could keep the money, but he would never again touch my woman.”“Baby…”“Sunshine, it won’t take long and it’s going to be alright. Trust me, okay?” The briefcase filled with the payoff sat on the kitchen counter, and Magnus smirked. It was definitely more than the measly eighty grand plus ever-growing interest she owed the man. The minutes ticked by and finally, at ten after, a fist pounded on the door. Magnus waved Sunny into h

Magnus shut off the shower spray and flattened his palms on the slick tile wall. Cold water ran down his face and chest, tightening his skin. The shower hadn’t helped his aroused state… not in the least bit. One night was never enough with Sunny. God, he was still hungry for her. He got up from her bed still horny as a red deer. His ‘rigid’ situation was not helped by the fact that no matter where he paced in the apartment, her naked, slumbering form seemed to be visible. Magnus flipped the cold water back on, wincing at the icy blast. He stuck his head directly beneath the shower spray and attempted to focus on something else but Sunny’s naked body. “Think of how you’re going to take care of that asshole!” he murmured and his hand curled into a fist on the shower wall. When the bathroom door creaked open outside the shower, Magnus stopped breathing. His right hand lifted on his own to shut off the cold water, bathing the

She nodded once, unsure what to do… unsure what to say. Magnus set the broken pieces down and took a step towards her, but she backed away quickly.“No… What are you doing here? How…?” she asked almost in a whisper.“Sunshine… Please, stop…”“Oh, hell no! You don’t get to do this,” Sunny snapped, holding up her hand. “Who the hell do you think you are? Who gives you the right to be here? You can’t just walk into my place, break my things, and expect me to… What? I don’t even know what the hell you want! Just get out of my house! Go back to your penthouse and… Just get out of here and leave me the fuck alone!”“Wait, please,” he said, but she shook her head.“No! You threw me out, you, jackass! You pushed me aside as if I was a nobody!”&nb

“My son had trust issues with women for a long time. They’re always after his money but with our girl… Well, with our sweet Sunshine, it was different. I have a feeling that before that phone call, Magnus was ready to propose to her for real,” Tora said, leaning back on the couch.“Well, my dear Tora, we’ll never know now…”“Listen, Alec, I came here to tell Sunshine that my son is being the biggest idiot in the world. He’s walking around like a corpse, pissed at himself and the world for what happened, but he’s hurt, and by the look on your face, I’d say he’s not alone.”“No, Tora, he’s not,” Alec told her. “During the last few days, ‘Mein Schatz’ hasn’t smiled once, and working at the bar under the man she owes money to… I’m absolutely sure it’s going to kill her slowly. I’d be damned if I’ll stay and watch that.”“This is what I wanted to hear from you, my dear boy! Alrighty, then,” she said and slapped her hands against her thighs as she stood. “Even though I know the answer, I’ll
