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

PART 2 Rowan “Sir? Is there anything you need me to get for you from the restaurant?” My secretary asks, but I continue staring outside my office window. The view was really great. It was one of the reasons why I chose it, but today it didn’t offer me the tranquility it usually does. “No. Not to
Ava My brain cells were totally fried. I’ve been sitting here since Calvin left about an hour ago. I asked him if Noah could stay the night at his house today and he agreed. I was still trying to grasp all that I learnt today. It was too much information all at once. I didn’t know how to handle a
“Dad, where is mom? I asked Cal why he was picking me up instead of mom, but he said, You’ll explain everything,” he says, a mask of concern firmly on his face. Damn this was hard. I had time to come up with a way of delivering the news, but words fail me. “Is she having the baby? Is that why we a
