“Sorry?” A chuckle left Liam's mouth. “This is a joke, right?”Desiree took in the hope in his eyes, her heart aching. “No Liam. It's not a joke.”He stared at her. “If it's not a joke, then surely you know that what you're saying is impossible, right? There's no way you can be pregnant.”Desiree sh
Pulling his phone out of his pocket, Liam dialed Winter’s number.“I want to see you now.”“Liam, I thought you said it would be better for us not to meet…”“Shut the fuck up. I said I want to see you, and that’s that,” he growled into the phone. “Don’t come to the usual place. Come to the address I
Liam glared at her. “That pregnancy doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to that stupid Gerald Butler! He managed to knock her up before she agreed to be with me, and it’s all your fault?”“My fault?”“Yes. Your fucking fault!” He sneered. “If only you managed to do what I got you out of here to do. You
Winter stumbled out of the brothel, wincing with every step she took. Liam had been so brutal with her that she couldn't walk without limping. Turning to look at the bouncers at the door, she found them snickering at her as they watched her limp away. Neither of them bothered to ask if she was alri
"Oh, yes... Oh God... Just like that... Don't stop," Sasha whimpered as Damian continued driving inside her, evoking sensations she thought she'd experienced before but still felt all too fresh.It was always like that. Every time she and Damian made love, it felt like the first time all over again.
"So he told you to leave? And that's it?" Sasha questioned Desiree the next morning, her lips twisted in disapproval. "You don't have to sound so cynical about it, Sasha. I don't blame him for that. He obviously needed time to think about things," Desiree said, her voice already sounding exhausted
Desiree's heart pounded inside her chest as both men pinned their eyes on her. Liam's eyes were filled with hope that she would lie for their relationship, while Gerald stared at her pleadingly, as if begging her not to take away the happiness he'd experienced so briefly. Remembering the sheer exci
“I’m sorry. No,” Desiree stepped back from Gerald, feeling that what he was asking her was too intimate.Gerald sulked, feeling disappointed, but he knew that he’d been pushing his luck with that one. He slowly got back to his feet.“I want to be able to do this every day, Desiree.” A dreamy smile t
What a journey this has been, no? Looking back from the time this book started to now, I'm like “Wow, these readers have a lot of patience.”I know it mustn't have been easy sticking with this book, especially with my inconsistent update schedule, and so I want to say a very big thank you to you tha
SIX YEARS LATER:“You should come one day, darling. The people here are so wonderful! Everyone is so kind. And they have such genuine gratitude for whoever helps them in any way.”Hearing the excitement in her mother's voice as they spoke over a video call, Desiree chuckled warmly. It truly amazed h
Four Months Later:“You may now kiss the bride,” the officiant announced.The guests rose to their feet, the whole chapel erupting into applause as Damian cupped his wife's face and delivered a passionate kiss. Afterwards, with beaming smiles on their faces, he went down on his knees and kissed his
“Gerald Butler, how many times must I tell you that it would be rude to just leave our own reception before it's over?”*“Ugh, but I'm dying to make love to you,”* Gerald groaned again. “I can't wait for our wedding night. The things I plan to do to you.”His eyes brightened with lust. “Do you want
A Month Later"The bride has arrived!" a female guest shouted.Immediately, all the guests who had been outside and not seated rushed into the chapel. The reporters, despite clear warnings to keep off, were not allowed into the church, but they were more than happy to capture the bride’s entrance.O
They hugged, and as her mother continued to cry, Desiree couldn't help her own tears.“Okay, let me call Hugo in now,” Desiree said after wiping her tears when they pulled back from the hug.Her mother smiled nervously as Desiree opened the door and ushered a now fully dressed Hugo into the room.“D
The clicking sound of the opening door jolted her mother and Hugo out of their passionate moment. They broke apart from each other, spinning to look at Desiree like two deer caught in the headlights.Staring at their appearance, her mother's hair tousled and her clothes creased, while Hugo was shirt
Moments after their lovemaking, once they'd caught their breath for a bit, Desiree burst out laughing, the sound vibrating through Gerald.Just like that, he also began laughing. He didn't know why she was laughing, but he couldn't help himself because her laughter was infectious.“Okay, so why are
“Desiree Hamilton, would you like to be my wife once again?" Desiree felt like her heart was going to explode. With tears burning her eyes, she answered, "No."Gerald’s eyes widened as panic flashed through them. “No? As in you don't want to marry me? But why? Did I do something wrong? I…”“I’m onl
