“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
I look at myself in the mirror, happy with how I look. My hair was in a low bun, with curled tendrils framing my face. Tonight I wanted something different since it was my first ever date with Rowan, so I decided on a subtle but sexy, smoky eyeshadow and red lipstick. As for my dress, I picked a bl
The drive wasn’t that long, and apart from having a small chat here and there, we remained silent. For the first time since I can remember, the silence between us was comfortable. On the rare occasions that we drove together, Rowan would do his best to ignore me, while I tried my best to engage him

“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
Rowan. The date was nothing but perfect. If I had my way, it wouldn’t have ended. Every moment I spent with her was heaven, and I wish I’d done this sooner. I honestly don’t know why I never gave myself a chance to be happy with Ava. It bugs me that we could have been happy all these years if only
