"Find out which cemetery Raelyn Becket is buried in," Adrian instructed Clint. "Leave some of our men to keep monitoring Fredrick and Tonet, but put more focus on Ramona. Find out why Renee is acting strange. Ask the guys -""I already asked, Sir. Renee did not get any visitors at the hospital," Cli
When Krista entered Adrian's office, her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but be in awe of how handsome he looked. Yes, he is in a wheelchair, but it did not reduce his good looks and appeal. He was still a King!Her heart sank when Adrian let out a sigh of irritation, but it did not matter.
The weekend came. While Riley was preparing breakfast for her mother, Adrian took the opportunity to speak with Renee. He entered the guest room and asked the nurse to give them a private time. "I don't want to talk to you," Renee said, averting Adrian's gaze. "I'm sorry, but you don't have a cho
Renee was afraid to speak. She reached out to Riley and suddenly embraced her. She said, "Trust me, in the long run, I only wanted the best for you and Raelyn. Please, don't hate me, Riley."She initially felt Riley's resistance but eventually gave her a loose hold and begged, "Please, tell me. I ca

### FLASHBACK CONTINUATION ###"We need to find a way to contact Charles. He has to know," Raelyn proposed. "No!" Renee objected. "He abandoned you, remember?""But I need him, Margaret. This is our child. He at least has the right to know," Raelyn said. "And let his family come down here to Hines
“I had minor injuries from the accident, but I had to run. Whoever was inside that car that came after us could wake up from unconsciousness, or maybe there were more of Calvin’s people lurking around,” Renee said before she cried another bucket of tears. “It was so hard for me to do - to leave my s
Dawn shook her head. “Let’s start with the good news.”“We have actual clothes. I found two of your shorts in here. They probably got mixed in with mine,” Maxwell said. “But the only shirts we have are these.”He pulled out one extra-large T-shirt with a print that read: [I Put the ‘Max’ in Maximum
Dawn felt the pain, but as soon as Maxwell pinned his bare body against her, the pleasure returned. The fact that they were skin-to-skin gave her a different level of happiness.“Max,” Dawn shut her eyes, noting how it felt to have something long and big inside her.It honestly scared her at first,
“Mmmm.” He heard Dawn react.He continued to kiss her jaw, then her neck. He gave her soft bites, licking a few parts of her skin while slowly moving down.“You smell so good, Noodle,” he said softly.When he stared at her breasts, his breathing hitched. He had been looking forward to getting his mo
Standing in front of Maxwell was a very slender Dawn wearing sexy, soft pink silk nightwear that flowed a few inches below her hip.And Dawn? She was covering herself with her hands. Her fair skin was on full display—from her chest, arms, and long legs. Her face was red, and she averted his gaze. Sh

Yes, they welcomed Thomas into the house, but no, he wasn’t comfortable in any way.He was standing before Dawn while she was seated on the couch.And the entire time, Maxwell paced around the living room, repeatedly thrusting his fist into his palm as a warning. Mina stood behind them, throwing dag
“Thank you, Mrs. Hamilton. I’m really glad we talked,” Dawn said.But, it wasn’t just Mrs. Hamilton. At 10 a.m., Andi walked up to her desk.“Wow, I saw you and Maxwell Turner kissing outside. I—” she gulped, “I’m sorry. He’s hot, by the way. You’re so lucky.”Dawn just stared at her, then calmly re
Luxford Iron Pulse was taking a one-week break. So, many of the players were in their hometowns, resting and spending time with family.Since Maxwell was free, he brought Dawn to work on his motorbike.Dawn was fixing her hair after removing her helmet in the parking area. She was about to head into
Maxwell was so confused. When did they kiss before?“I was twelve, and your mom invited us over for her birthday. We were hanging out in your room when you fell asleep,” Dawn began.“You didn’t,” Maxwell reacted, his heart swelling. “Fuck.”She pouted and admitted, “I did.”“That barely counts, but
