“Yeah, sure” After that, he hangs up. I breathed out, feeling disappointed that he didn’t offer a solution. At this point, I think either I take Corrine up on her offer, or we just go with Iris, which will be a huge headache. Shopping with a baby usually is. Taking the phone with me, I head downst
“Take this,” he commands, giving me his black card. I stared at the card with uncertainty. “Rowan…” “Take it, Ava. You’re now mine, meaning everything I have is yours. You may have money, but as long as we’re together, you don’t get to use it.” Frowning in confusion, my eyes shift from the card t

“It’s settled then; we are going to change things around here,” Rowan says as I just stare at him. I was shocked, but happy at the same time. I’ve wanted for a long time to change most things, but I just knew that he wouldn’t agree. I don’t know; for some reason, I feel that this is just another p
