LOGIN“Anyway,” Lilly drawls, stretching, “where were you headed just now?”“Breakfast.”“Oh good,” she claps her hands. “I’m starving, but we’re not going downstairs. We’ll just have our meal here.”I don’t argue. Just seeing Noah earlier feels like it drained every ounce of energy from my soul.After br
Sierra.“Uhm… hello?” I say, leaning back against the wall.The scene unfolding in front of me is eerily similar to yesterday except this time, Lilly is here. She’d told me before she left that she was heading to the meeting and would be back before I woke up so we could plan something to do.Appare
The words are right there on my tongue. Every reason why I would never, not in this lifetime, give her a chance... But then everything inside me freezes.I try to fight the thoughts. Try to bury them, to forget them, but they keep resurfacing like an unwanted fucking rash.My hand clenches. My heart
I clench my teeth, my hands fisting at my sides. My stare bores into her, but it does nothing to wipe the fucking smile off Juliett’s face. If anything, it only seems to encourage her because it widens.“If it isn’t the Ashthorne heiress,” Lilly drawls, folding her arms across her chest.Juliett’s s

“Noah, are you done with your homework?” I call, but I don't get an answer.It was Friday afternoon and I was dead tired on my feet. I had forgotten when you’re pregnant how easily you get tired. Every single thing tired me out. The only thing I’m grateful for is that I never experienced morning si
I watch my lawyer nervously as he goes through the business proposal Corrine sent me. I have to hand it to her. The woman worked fast. It hasn’t even been a day since we discussed the idea and already she had the proposal ready. It was either that or she had already worked on it beforehand and she
“Ava can we please talk?” mother pleads when I move to leave. I stare at her, not sure what she wanted. What was there to talk about? Hasn’t everything already been said and done? “There isn’t anything for us to talk about, Mother” I insist. Looking back, I see now how I made a distinction when i
“You forget I know you better than you know yourself brother” he takes a seat opposite me. “Ava” her name slips out of my mouth in an anguished tone. “You care about her” “Of course I fucking care about her.
