“Really?” Michael asked in surprise. “Yes, if you don’t mind the coffee shop across the King’s Medical Center,” Renee proposed. “It’s more convenient for me.”“That is perfect,” Michael said. He winked at Renee and then grinned at Anthony. ***Later that night, Renee was preparing to sleep when sh
At first, Anthony simply felt sorry for Renee and what she had been through. She was often left out because of her condition, unable to join Riley and Adrian in their quest for the truth about Raelyn.While living under Adrian’s roof, he got to know Renee’s personality. Her motherly qualities shone,
Being with Renee had become second nature to Anthony, and he cherished every moment. Their bond felt effortless and deeply comforting. He admired her but was also uneasy about his feelings—after all, she was Riley’s aunt, which complicated things socially.All Anthony wanted was to enjoy her presenc
Anthony was in his bed, back at the old mansion. He was sleeping, yet smiling. He was in a dream, and in that dream, he saw Freya chasing after butterflies. Freya loved butterflies. Then, Anthony’s dream shifted to a scene when Freya was still pregnant with Adrian. In the garden, Freya found a ca
“Renee,” Anthony said after taking a deep breath. “This is for you.”Renee gasped, abandoning her walking stick since there was only a meter of distance between them. She graciously accepted the flowers with a warm smile.“Thank you, they are beautiful,” Renee answered. All of a sudden, Anthony for
Her words were cut off because Anthony immediately crashed his lips into hers. He nibbled lightly on her lips but quickly deepened the kiss. Their soft tongues intertwined, their breaths mingled, expressing unstated emotions that words could never capture.The intense kiss ignited an electrifying se
The soft hum of a piano echoed inside the Grand Cathedral of Dowel City, and Raelyn thought the melodies immediately brought her to a dreamlike state. Smoke machines quickly sent delicate clouds of mist across the floor, partly concealing her from the eager crowd of guests. As the piano’s melody de

‘Tiffany? No wonder the name sounded familiar.’ Charlie thought. ‘So this was the girl Taylor had mentioned before. She was his first?’Honestly, she could not help but feel a bit jealous, but Taylor had been honest with her about this from the start. There was no use dwelling on his first sexual ex
“Bro, are you her boyfriend or her FBI agent?” Drew commented. “Let the girl breathe, Taylor.”Laughter erupted again before Taylor muttered, “I just know you too well, Drew. Better safe than sorry.”Aside from the banter, Charlie learned a lot about Taylor that night, like how loyal of a friend he
Guardian Angel: ‘What? Kissing is now some sort of punishment?’Inner Devil: ‘Oh, shut up! Can’t you see? Our Charlie is being punished! She’s fighting for her life with her tongue!’Guardian Angel: ‘Do I still have a job here?’The heat was on!Charlie had no idea how things had escalated so quickl
“Um…” Mia hesitated before handing it over. “Here. Everything okay?”“No, it’s not okay.” Taylor grabbed the bag. “Since you’re going to be friends with Charlie, know this—I don’t want her wearing barely-there anything, like that swimsuit.”“Um… why?” Mia asked.Pointing back at the pool, Taylor sco
‘Charlie, how could you?!’Taylor wanted to crush the bottle in his hand, but he could not. Instead, he let it drop to the floor. His head snapped in every direction, fiercely scanning his surroundings. The closest material he could use was right under his nose!He and his friends were standing in f
