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
I clench my teeth, my hands fisting at my sides. My stare bores into her, but it does nothing to wipe the fucking smile off Juliett’s face. If anything, it only seems to encourage her because it widens.“If it isn’t the Ashthorne heiress,” Lilly drawls, folding her arms across her chest.Juliett’s s

“The doctors aren’t sure, Bud. We’ll just have to wait and pray.” I decide to go with honesty. If lied and, God forbid, Ava never wakes up, he would end up hating me for lying that his mom was okay. He doesn’t say anything. Just looks at me before looking at the floor. After a few minutes of sile
I’d been scared, to say the least. I didn’t know how to be a father. For heaven’s sake, I’d never even been near any babies. It was overwhelming, but I knew I loved the baby already. “She wanted to get an abortion. I couldn’t let that happen, so I threatened her.” I take a deep breath, feeling my t
“I don’t think so” He was always tight-lipped about the mother of his son. I didn’t know anything. Were they married, then divorced? Were they just in a relationship? How long have they known each other? I doubt he will ever willingly give me the information I need to piece things together. Beside
I slowly turn in the direction of the sound to find Rowan seated next to me. It’s like I’d wished him into existence. That wasn’t all. For the first time since I’ve known him, Rowan wasn’t wearing a suit. He had a black V-neck t-shirt and blue jeans. “What are you doing here?” I stammer, still not
