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

“Wife?” Milly repeats the words as if she just can’t comprehend them.“Did I stutter?” Gabriel asks with an edge to his tone.The whole room was now silent. Everyone who had been murmuring and pointing at me was now staring at the ground.I really didn’t need Gabriel fighting my battles for me. I’ve
Chapter 27He begins walking again and I follow behind him.“This is Rowan’s office” he says after we stop in front of a door.It had his brother’s name on it. I nod my head, not really sure why I needed to know that. Sure, I’m going to work for him, but will I really need to engage with the other h
Rowan seemed happy right now, so like I said, I’m assuming he got back together with Emma. That was the only possible scenario. From what Gabriel used to tell me, Rowan had hated Ava with a passion, just like Gabriel hated me.My eyes move to the little girl. She looked a bit familiar, but I couldn’
