I stared hard at the pale woman before me and I was sure my face resembled that of a frozen stone because of how frequently she was biting her lips in worry.

I was also confused. Why would she be worried? If she was behind everything that has happened, then shouldn’t her expression be hard as well, so as not to give anything away?

“Have anything to say? And don’t even think about bolting, you wouldn’t want to mess with the NYPD,” Ethan said after a few minutes of silence.

“I can’t say anything. No, I shouldn’t say anything,” she mumbled quietly, but we could still hear her. Her tone sounded really stressed and I was starting to worry.

“Why can’t you say anything? Are you the one behind all the threatening gifts?” my tone was hard, but enough to make her gaze snap at mine, and she shook her head furiously, making me arch a brow in confusion.

What the heck is going on?

“This is evidence that you are either the culprit or an accomplice and you can very well go to jail, so I suggest you s

    Catching a suspect was a bit more difficult than I anticipated. The detectives made it clear that since she didn’t have a direct hand in everything that happened, we only had circumstantial evidence and we needed to ascertain if she really does have white hair or a tattoo on the back of her neck.I sighed before placing my head in my hands.“Miss Dare, is something wrong?” my head shot up at the intrusion. I had forgotten that I was in a meeting. I huffed and sat upright allowing the wrinkles on my white chiffon shirt to straighten out.“No, please continue,” I said and gestured to the man standing behind the wooden podium to keep talking.I tried to continue listening but I just couldn’t get the thoughts out of my head. The person who wanted me out of the company was in the room and I just needed a way to get them. Even if we managed to get her, she would only be charged with assault because according to the detectives, the suspect hasn’t tried to physically hurt me. My eyes found th

    “Are you ready?” Funke asked me, as she sat down on the other side of my office table. I sighed, ran a hand through my un-made hair and plopped on my office chair. I stared at Funke who was discharged from the hospital two days ago, and was even more determined to do this. “I think so. I would be so relieved when all this is over,” I replied and packed my bags before pressing the intercom. “Brook, can you please come in for a minute?” I said it through the intercom and cut it off when I heard her reply. I stared at Funke for a bit and she was already looking at me with a sly smile. I rolled my eyes and cleared my throat as Brooklyn walked in. “Yes, ma’am?” Brooklyn said in her firm voice that I had gotten so used to it. She was wearing a black pencil skirt and flower-patterned shirt. Her hair was combed down like usual. “I was thinking, my wedding is in almost two months and I haven’t had a break in forever. So, Funke and I wanted to go out for a nice relaxing day and since you h

    “I don’t understand,”“You kept your job. I made you, my friend. You were so effective, Heck, I trusted you. So, cut the bullshit and answer me. Why are you trying to sabotage me?” I asked in a very calm voice and I watched as she took a step back. Luckily, Antonio stood behind her.“Like I said ma’am. I don’t understand,” I sighed and smacked my lips.“You know, I thought about it a lot and thought the white hair was a wig but seeing as your brown hair was dyed, it means you stopped seeing him when we got a wind of you. I just want to understand, what did I ever do to make you hate me?” I said and stepped closer to her.“It was almost perfect, you know? Three weeks is almost up and I almost had a heart attack just thinking of more ways the psycho after me would attack one of my family. You have no idea how sad and shocked I felt when I found out it was you,”“Spit it out, Brooklyn. I always knew something was odd about you. You almost killed me,” Funke snapped and I realized she was

    "To the mall!" I told the driver excitedly. He drove us there, and I quickly got out, rushing to the kids’ section while dragging Funke, who was laughing at my excited face.I bought a small onesie that said "I love Daddy," paid for it, and went to the grocery store. I bought all the ingredients needed to make our favorite food, paid, and left. I checked the time, and it was past 4 p.m., so I decided to go straight home so I could cook."Will you come with me?" I asked Funke, and she shook her head."No, I have something to do in the office; besides, this is something you need to do yourself. I'm happy for you, babe," she hugged me again, and we dropped her off at the office before I left for home.We pulled up at the house. Ethan had surprised me again with this house; he said he wanted us to have a huge family, so he built a mansion with 8 rooms, one for each of our six kids, even though I protested.

Daphne, my assistant, snapped me out of my daydreaming about my husband."Send it to everyone that ordered," she nodded."You have a meeting by 4 p.m. with Candler Inc." I nodded, not being able to speak because I felt sick in my stomach. I rushed to the bathroom to throw up. I had been throwing up since morning, not to mention the way I've been feeling sick these past few weeks, when we came home.

    We were about to enter the cart when I saw the little boy who gave me a coin helping out his mother in a food stand. He was wearing worn out clothes and I immediately felt bad for him. I pulled Ethan with me and walked towards them. The little boy smiled at me making his entire chocolate eyes sparkle. "Two tacos please," I told the woman who looked so tired while she placed the tacos. She handed it over to me."5euro," the woman said in a tired voice and I took out a hundred and gave it to her."You can keep the change," I said immediately and her eyes widened. I had my assistant change some money into Euro for me last night. "Thank you so much" the woman held my hand with tears in her eyes and I smiled at her. I bent down to the little boy’s level and brought out a fifty and handed it to him despite his protest."Thank you for your coin" I whispered softly making his eyes widen. I ruffled his long brown hair and took Ethan's hand in mine."Have I ever told you how amazing you are?"

His thick black hair was rumpled, his head was once again on my bare chest with his hands wrapped around me. He looked like a hot mess. I moved his hands gently so I could stand up. Thankfully, he didn't wake up. I wrapped the second duvet around my body and went to press the button and ordered breakfast silently. I was on my honeymoon in Rome, staying in a suit, I was going to enjoy it and even though there was a stocked up kitchen, I didn't feel like cooking. I moved carefully to the bathroom to pee. I brushed my teeth, had a hot shower, and came out wearing a white silk bathrobe when I heard the knock. I rushed to the door careful not to wake him and collected the tray of food from the bellman, tipping him from my purse, he thanked me and left. I sat down by the bed with the tray on my lap and gently removed hi

"Hmm... I really think I would love to get used to this" I whispered softly. "Good morning Ífé mi" I blushed at his endearment, letting a yawn escape my lips. "Good morning indeed, babe," I said back making him smile wildly. I don’t think I would get tired of his smile. It simply made his beautiful blue eyes sparkle. "Let's go shower," I let out a squeal as he carried me from the soft bed in the private plane. I should have expected he had other plans, and so after the rough love making, I was really sore. He placed me down with him behind me, switching on the shower he helped me bath. Once we were done, we stepped out and we got dressed when we heard the pilot telling us to take our seats sinc
