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
The corridor outside my suite is quiet. It's designed to soothe but it does nothing to quiet the noise in my head.I head toward the elevator, my thoughts drifting where they shouldn’t. To Sierra.I don’t know why the twins asking about her unsettled me so much. Maybe because they’ve grown used to h

I shrug “Sure, if that’s how you want to take it” “One word from me and Rowan will be on your ass…we’ve danced this game before Ava. You know all I have to tell Rowan is that you’ve been rude to me and he will blow up on you” Before, that would have made me bow down. I desperately didn’t want to h
Today was a chilled day. I didn’t have much to do. Noah was already at school, and I was here at home just relaxing. After my mental breakdown, I decided to take some much needed break from work. My students weren’t happy about it, but they understood that I hadn’t been myself the last couple of we
Ethan When I put my plan in motion, I never expected to fall in love with her. That was the biggest hindsight known that has ever happened to me. I thought it would be easy. Just kill her and I would have everything I’ve worked for. I didn’t know that it would turn out to be harder than anything I
I can’t afford to be weak right now. It would cost me more than I’m willing to bargain. I had already reached my breaking point. I wasn’t going to risk going back to the darkness that almost claimed my soul. I get on my bed and lie down. Refusing to let the tears flow. I’ve cried enough for these p
