“What’s got you drinking in the club alone instead of being at home with Ava?” Gabe asks as he takes a seat next to me. I was in a terrible mood, and the last thing I wanted was any form of company. That includes my brother’s. Ignoring him, I take another gulp of my whisky. I was in the VIP sectio
Chapter 166 Ava. “Is it okay if I come to visit tomorrow? There is something I wanted to talk to you about.” I was on a phone call with Nora, or should I say my biological mother. I’ve been thinking hard these past few days, and I decided that I was finally going to give them a chance. Both Nora
I wake up with Rowan spooning. Yesterday, for some reason, I couldn’t leave after he’d asked me to stay. I’d wanted to. I’d fought against it, but in the end, I’d lost. By the time I'd made the decision to share the bedroom with him, he’d already fallen back to sleep. His arms were tightly wrapped

“You can talk to us about anything that’s bothering you. We’ll listen,” Theo adds with a small smile on his face. I take a deep breath and then open my mouth. “It’s about Rowan.” Nora coos at Iris before turning to me. “I figured out that much.” “What do you guys think of him? He’s hurt me, but I
I stay at my parents' house a little longer. Iris is eating up the attention that is being given to her by her grandparents. Although she is small, she loves attention, especially if the attention comes in the form of belly kisses. Looking at her, I wish that my life was that simple. Was I the only
