I was fairly certain that Diana was on the verge of passing out.And to be completely honest, I wasn’t feeling that much further behind her. The second James had made the harsh announcement of my pregnancy, I felt myself sway and roll back on the heels of my feet. A nauseating fog filled my head, ca
[Third Person’s POV]While, of course, many people were glad to hear the joyous news of Mia and James’ sudden marriage...There were also those, much like Diana Derek, who was less than pleased with the idea.Currently residing in the next city over, was David Durent. A man who ran his business with
Over the last two days, I was happy to discover that James’ sisters were in no great rush to return back home. Granted, Kristen and Lana had their own work to deal with; however, they seemed much more interested in getting to know me—especially, my interest in baking.After my ice cream cake fiasco,
Dinner was absolutely perfect and by the end of the night, we were headed back to the house with a better perspective of one another. I wasn’t able to actually form the words to express how happy I was.James, like the gentleman he was, escorted me through the hallways till we reached the bedroom. H
‘Have the two of you always loved each other even though he was already engaged and married to someone else?’Okay, maybe I wasn’t ready to answer ‘every’ question these people were willing to throw at me. I opened my mouth in an attempt to answer at least one of their questions but was hastily inte
Ever since Chris called, informing me about our mysterious Uncle’s sudden interest in my personal life, I haven’t been able to properly focus. It was like there was this ongoing gnawing in the back of my mind that I couldn’t get rid of.The more I replayed the conversation in my head, the more anxio
“Relax for me,” James said roughly.His deep, honeyed voice rolled over me while his hands came to rest over the tops of my thighs. Slowly, he spread my legs open, causing my whole body to flush red.The tips of his fingers brushed against the silken waistband of my underwear. My breath caught in my
I couldn’t say how much time had passed since I heard what Diana just said to me. In fact, I was fairly certain that I felt the impact of her words before really having a chance to comprehend any of them.“...I’m prepared to offer you three million dollars to leave him...”Good God. It was like rece
[James’ POV]James was at a loss for words. Impossible. Completely impossible.He couldn’t believe what the screen was showing them all.“Edward,” he snarled.“That can’t be true,” Kristen hissed. “He’s supposed to be dead!”“Mm, perhaps not,” Lana said. “Remember, he didn’t take the Moon Tear direc
I couldn’t believe it. The day of the wedding was finally here. From what I could see upon my first arrival at the vineyard, everything looked perfect. Thanks to Diana, Lana, and Kristen, the place was decorated beautifully. Even though James was busy getting ready in his own room, I could tell th
Life had become fast and furious the moment I was cleared to return home with the babies. With the help of James, we returned to the house and were greeted by a very excited staff. Lily was absolutely losing herself when she first saw the twins bundled up in their swaddles.“Oh my goodness! Just loo
A Month Later...It seemed like many things had changed since the night Edward had vanished from all our lives. There was no longer that pending, dreadful sense of worrying looming over our heads. Many of James’ relatives had, undoubtedly, changed their outlook on me since that Crescent Moon Annual
Tonight was the Crescent Moon Annual Dinner event...and my anxiety was clearly on the rise.‘Get it together, Mia,’ I thought briskly to myself. ‘It’s just one evening, nothing you can’t handle.’My brother was awake and on the mend and I had been taking an excessive amount of honey supplements for
James and I had rushed back to the hospital as fast as when we first heard about the incident. By the time we reached the main desk, I was wheezing and out of breath.“Mia, for the love of God, please calm down,” James huffed.Honestly, had I not been pregnant, I would have gotten there faster...Non
I was thankful for the brief distraction my baby shower had offered. I hadn’t realized just how much stress and aggravation my body was undergoing until I took that much-needed break for myself.Although I was able to put my thoughts about my brother and his condition at ease for the time being, my
[James’ POV]James knew, deep down, that he was taking a huge risk being where he was. Hell, if anyone had told him that he would be back in David Durant’s home, sitting in front of the man himself, James would have broken out in excessive laughter.He fought for not only his life but the life of Mi
I felt utterly beside myself.For the past few days, I felt as though I’d been running on autopilot. Every morning I would get up and try to be functional in some way, but it was terribly difficult. The nursery was all but completed. What I needed was a distraction, something to occupy my time to ge
