“Does the guy at least know that we’re coming to see him?” Damian asked Gerald as they sat in the car on their way to see the investigator, whose name they had discovered was Matamoros.When Gerald didn’t respond, Damian’s eyes widened. “He doesn’t know? Gerald, all we know about this guy is that he
Gerald braced himself for the sound of gunshots. To his relief, nothing like that happened, but minutes later, he was beginning to grow anxious again. Skarr hadn’t come out yet or called to inform him about what the situation was inside.“Uhhh, isn’t your PI taking too long to come out?” Damian sai
The past two days had been some of the most torturous days Desiree had experienced. Aside from constantly being checked on by Liam’s chauffeur, Renzo, which prevented her and Gerald from seeing each other as they wanted, she’d also had to deal with the constant blows of Gerald calling to inform her
Desiree's heart pounded inside her chest. What had her father been trying to tell her? Why would he mention his study room and a camera at that crucial moment?Automatically, her eyes flew around the four corners of the room. There were no cameras in sight, so what had her father been referring to?
Desiree's heart thumped inside her chest, her breath quickening as she stared at the camera device in Sasha's hand. It consisted of a micro-camera on top of a long tube connected to a black unit below. "How do we even access this?" Sasha wondered out loud, rotating the device in her hand to examine
"You are not going to stain your hands with that bastard's blood, Des.” Sasha said fiercely. “He's not worth it. He's going to get what's coming to him. I'm sure the fact that he purposely deprived your father of his pills is enough to get him on manslaughter charges. Not to talk about the fact that
Before Matamoros could pull the trigger, Gerald quickly said, “Since you already know that Michael is dead, don’t you find it suspicious that it happened exactly on the same day you brought that report to him?” Taking his finger off the trigger, Matamoros paused, as if what Gerald said had finally
Damian’s eyes moved warily across the places in the living room where the dead bodies of the men had been lying. “Where are all the bodies?” Matamoros looked at him like he’d just asked a very moronic question. “You didn’t expect me to leave them there as decorations in my living room, did you? I
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
