“How is she now?” I asked, fear flooding my voice when I answered the call.

“How is who?” Carter asked, I moved the phone away and confirmed that it was Carter, I had just been too distraught to check the caller Id “is everything fine?” He asked again.

A strangled sound left my lips. “No. It’s not fine. I’m sorry, but I can’t make it to our date tonight, an emergency came up.”

“What is it?”

“My mum had an accident.”

“Give me the address, I’ll meet you there.” He answered grimly.

“No, you don’t have to-“

“I want to, Myra. Just turn your location on and I’ll track it.” I nodded frantically even though he could not see, and ended the call, turning my location on before I tossed my phone in my lap and stared out at the road in front of us. God let her be okay, I prayed.

“She’ll be fine, Myra.” Hannah tried to soothe, but her foot never left the gas pedal.

Hannah’s car slowed to a halt at the hospital and I rushed to the reception area.

“Where is she?” The man behind

    Had I misheard in my panic?“Oh dear.” Hannah whispered as I felt Carter tense around me. I pulled away from him and followed Hannah’s line of sight and behold, a Blackwood. And not just any Blackwood, the most infuriating of them. Pierce’s were not on me per se, but on Carter’s arms around me. I stepped away from Carter, confusion written on my face. I didn’t know he had a family member in Peaceful Pines. What was he doing here?“I’m sorry, we would’ve called you earlier but everything has been crazy since her fall.” The doctor said apologetically, as she stepped towards him.Drawn by a sudden wail, he glanced past her, concern on his face. “Is that her? How is she?How is who? My mother?The doctor looked my way briefly. “We’re having trouble calming her down we were hoping miss Myra could attempt calming her down but she doesn’t-““Excuse me, what’s going on here?” I asked loudly. Why was my mum’s doctor giving a recount of her health to HIM.She looked between us. “I’ll leave yo

    “The chances of that happening were slim.” He answered, rubbing the back of his head. “How would you know that?”“Because she's your mum and she loves you.”“And how would you know that?” He let out an exasperated breath. “What if it didn’t go the way it did.”“Then we would’ve added that to the list of things in your life I’ve ruined.”“Pierce?” I stepped out of Hannah’s hold to fully look at him. “I want the truth.” Even if he dropped a donation, it didn’t mean they would call him when she was sick. Lots of random people left donations to buildings all the time, it didn’t warrant this level of special treatment,“Can we not talk about this?”“Why?”“You forcing me into that room just saved my mother, which is why I want to hear what is going on from you. I gonna find out anyway but I’m giving you the opportunity to do the right thing here.” Please don’t lie to me, I begged in my head. Don’t give me a bullshit excuse like ‘it’s not important’ or ‘I won’t understand’. Please.He let

    He blinked like he didn’t hear right, and then his eyes widened and he reached for me again.“No!” I yelled, my voice trembling. “No.” I could not let him do this to me. I had just gotten free. I was trying to get over him!“Myra, I didn’t know-““You did, you had to have known. You knew.” I accused, and sucked in air. “Nobody can be that blind. You just ignored it because it was easier for you. Easier for your big life as a Blackwood heir. And now you’re here with a new tagline. What do you want? What is it, you feel sorry for me? Or did your grandfather give you another condition with my name in it? You can tell him I’m not interested. So you can leave me the hell alone.” He was that willing to dangle something I’ve always wanted right in my face, just so he could keep me as his little pet. It wouldn’t work on me.“Jesus christ.” He cursed under his breath. “I didn't know, I swear. How long?”“How long?” I laughed bitterly, “when have I not? I loved you through every demeaning comm

    “I’m gonna go to the restroom.” Lily announced the second we entered the hospital I rolled my eyes but said nothing. Mum had been recovering for a week now and everytime we came here, she would find a reason to slink away and lessen the time she spent around her. Now that she was staying with me, I finally understood what Hannah meant when she said Lily had withdrawn. There were no snappy retorts or even petty fights. She’d been with me nearly a week and not one surface was covered in glitter. I could tell Angie was trying to coax her out of her shell with food but that was not working, which meant I had a lot more to eat and that was a suitable arrangement for me as stress eating had become my new favorite past time. Everytime I caught myself thinking about him, I would shove my face with cookies, enchiladas, gelato or whatever meal Angie had prepared. Even at work. What that meant was that I was eating ALOT,I hadn’t heard from him in a week. I suppose I should be happy about i

    “I’m sorry.” “You’ve said that several times already. I don’t care. So go back in there, tell mum good bye, feel free to add an elaborate excuse why you have to leave and don’t come back.” I crossed my arms on my chest and kept my eyes on a nurse as she passed by the both of us with a small smile, nodding to Pierce briefly.He bought a whole ass hospital, and there I was thinking he just gave a donation. Did he buy it because I was going to have his child or he loved me a at that time. No more thoughts about it. Dwelling on it was bad. It didn’t matter what he did to Pierce went into the room and I waited out, tension emanating from my shoulders as I waited for him to come back out.“So this is it, you’re leaving?” I asked when he came back out. “Yeah, you’re getting what you want.”I sigh of relief escaped my lips. “Good.”He turned to go but stopped, facing me again. “When you say loved, how long ago, when do you think you stopped loving me?”I shrugged, “does it matter?”Pierce

    My eyes looked like they would pop out of my head with the way I was glaring, and infuriating, he gave in and grinned at me. “How do you manage to make anger look so fucking sexy?” He asked, stepping close to me, “go on a date with me…” “Are you sane?!” I backed away from him, not bothering with subtlety. “Did you perhaps hit your head on your way here?” “I’m perfectly fine, Honestly I’ve never been better.” “And you think you’ll ask me on a date and I’ll say yes?” “With a little more convincing, yes.” So fucking cocky, I-I can’t. I blew air out of my system and turned my angry eyes at him. “If I wasn’t clear enough the last time, I will be clear now. Stay away from my mother, stay away from me, I. Don’t. Want. To SEE YOU…” “AND I completely understand that.” I eyed him suspiciously, “but,” there it was, “you’re a famous actress Myra, you will get invited to a lot of events I get invited to, which means one way or another, we’ll always meet.” Ignoring the space I had put bet

    Lily said nothing to me the rest of our stay in the hospital, only shooting me glances when she thought I wouldn’t notice. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs to her that there was nothing going on between me and Pierce! That he had a big mouth, yes, but I wasn’t stupid enough to go back to him. No matter what new love confession he came up with. He likes to watch me…a blush crept on my face and my hands froze over the flowers I was arranging. Every single word he utter flooded into my memory, feeling me with a giddy joy. I could just picture him pacing the office, or looking out the window. He ended a meeting to watch me! I wanted to squeal like a cheerleader! A small object hit the top of my head, drawing me out of my thoughts. “Lily!” Mum scolded. My sister shrugged and flattened another piece of paper she had rolled into a ball, ready to aim at me again. “Mum’s been calling you for hours.” “A couple seconds at best. Are you alright?” No. I was not. I had loved

    My alarm went off beside my bed and I groaned, stretching out my arm to turn it off. I would’ve had at least three more hours of sleep if I was going to visit mum, but O’Malley wanted us on set today. There were in post production stages and he had a couple scenes that he wanted us to redo, so we had to get in early. Finally my hand connected with the off button and I clicked it, rolled to the edge of the bed before I swung my feet down and walked to the bathroom. I was a lot more awake after my shower. With my hair held up by a claw clip and body clad in simple jeans and a sweater, I entered the living room. Two bodies lay under the covers in the dark. Lily and…I squinted and moved closer to them. Donna. Makes sense, they were both still watching Tv when I returned by two in the morning. I ran my hand through Lily’s hair affectionately before I left the house. Yawning, I raised my hand to cover my mouth. In hindsight I should not have stayed out that long with Carter, knowing I

    “Uhh…I’m still waiting.” Pierce said after a minute hafd passed and I was still standing.“Right.” I took a steadying breath and moved closer before starting my task, removing my thoughts from how my hand brushed acroos his face.“Have you done this before?” He asked.I snorted, “I grow body hair Pierce, I know how to shave.” My cheeks flamed as my words hinted to a private part of myself. This was going wonderful. We stayed silent till I had finshed applying the shaving cream. “You want everything off right?”He nodded. Sad. I started at the top moving in gentle strokes so I would not nick him. When I rinsed the blade off in the sink. He spoke. “So uhh, since you’re here? Can you give me a run down of what’s been going on? In your life and generally”“You’re not supposed to talk, what if I cut you?”“I won’t be talking. You will.”I sighed, resigned.

  • He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady   Day no 2

    Angie had come down with a fever by morning. The first sign that something was wrong was the factvthat she had not gotten up earlier than me and Heidi. After a dose of painkillers, I left her to sleep and got Heidi ready for school. I knew that if her symptoms persisted, there was no way in hell I would be going to Pierce’s house. Not alone. I would’ve called Trevor but I felt like seeing him, would cause Pierce to withdraw further. Like a reminder of all his responsibilities. That could come when he was ready. With one last check on Angie, I and Heidi piled into the car and went to her school, only to return an hour later. Angie had woken up and was in the kitchen buttering a piece of bread when we found her. She looked at us in surprise. “I thought you were off to school, and you on your way to his house?”I shook my head. “I mean we did go to school, but classes are canceled.” I opened the fridge and took out a sealed plate of gelato.“Lice.” Heidi volunteered. “yup. So till th

    I pushed other papers out of the way, revealing more photographs. With them in my hands I sat back on my knees, and tried to comit every photo to my memory. “You shouldn’t have these.” I said, my voice shaking. “Myra-““Why do you have them, when did you take them?” That last question was irrelevant. He had taken them at the hospital, while I was holding Yvette. One of the photos was a close replica to the portrait he had given me. I didn’t even hear a camera click. In one photo, Yvette’s face was scrunched up, she looked like she was winking at the camera. My hand brushed her downy hair, my throat closing up with emotion.“Hey sweet pea.” I whispered, and looked at another photograph. “They’re all I have of both of you.” He said and I turned. He had lowered himself to the floor, not very close to me. New clothes clverred his body and water dripped down feom his wet hair. “I…wanted to give them to you. But, you took all of Yvette’s ashes and I…I just needed something to remind me

  • He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady   Cleanup crew

    I made quick work of cleaning the kitchen while Angie worked on the living room. Pierce stayed in the kitchen with me, with the excuse that he was eating. I could feel his eyes burning into my back as I cleaned the fridge. God, I could barely believe my eyes when I turned in the living room. For a second I wondered if Pierce’s house had been broken into, and the long haired, bearded, hunched man in front of me was a hobo. It took a while for me to wrap my head around the fact that it was Pierce. He had lost so much weight. I could feel all his ribs when I went to help him, but that didn’t change how strong he was…My body lit up at the memory of how he held me, his hands skating delicately across my skin. Even now, I could not deny my body’s reaction to him. There are somethings you make peace with. This was one of them for me. But being attracted to him, did not mean I would be disloyal to Carter. I came here for one thing and as soon as that was completed, I would leave. “You’re

  • He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady   Spectre

    I stood outside the gates of Pierce’s house willing for something to happen. Anything that would make me say ‘Pierce was fine’, climb back in our car and get the fuck out of here. “Ready?” Angie asked me, adjusting the bag of food and cleaning supplies we had brought with us. “Yeah.” I rooted in my bag for the key Trevor had given to me. We had passed two different security personnel so far, but here, there was no one. My heart beat frantically in my chest as I fixed the key in the lock and twisted, bracing myself for what we were going to see before I pushed it open. The outside of the bouse didnt look bad. Sure, a few blades of grass had managed to make a home in different parts of the concrete but that was about it. Save for it looking completely abandoned, nothing seemed amiss. It made me wonder if he had even stepped out of the house all this time. When we entered the house, Angie sneezed, dropping her bags on the floor to grab a kerchief. A sheen of dust covered every su

    Saturdays were our stay-at-home day. We would all pile into the kitchen to help, or bother Angie while she made food, or we would both do personal things; like me reading a book and Heidi doing her homework, but all in the kitchen. Today Heidi sat across from me on the counter, while Angie chopped carrots for her latest creation. I glanced up from my laptop and watched her, hair in pigtails, crossed legged and face scrunched in concentration as she moved her colored pencils over her current project. Peaceful.And yet, I didn’t feel that way deep down. My eyes moved to my phone again and I looked away for the dozenth time. I had made several calls to Carter, all of which he rejected. I got that he was upset but I really had good intentions when I wanted to visit Pierce. Of course that was off the table now. I would not jeopardize the relationship I was building with Carter to check on him. No matter how bad I thought he was doing. Because it wasn’t my problem. I told myself. Angie

  • He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady   Pile of mush

    I scoffed, raising my feet off the soft rug and hugging it to myself. “So he’s done stalking me all over the city and now wants to guilt trip me into coming to him?” “Do you think that’s what this is?” Angie asked calmly. I blew out a breath, avoiding her gaze. “No.” She smiled, “what do you think it is then?” “I don’t know.” I shrugged “he’s having a mid life crisis? it doesn’t matter what he’s doing, he just has to stop it. I might not love him anymore but I don’t want him to hurt himself.” She made no comment on the “don’t love him” part. Thank God. “So you’re gonna pay a visit to him?” I chewed on my bottom lip and leaned back in my chair. If I was going to his house, it had nothing to do with his mother’s request, like I said, I didn’t want anything horrible to happen to him. I had moved on from us, and it was time he did too. If he needed a little push from me then I would give him that. As a thank you for everything he had done for me. “I’m gonna have to tell Carter

    Lost his mind?Elizabeth stared me down while I processed her words. Pierce lost his mind? This was the part where I should tell her I still didn’t care, check on Heidi and get the hell out of here.I swallowed, my feet rooted to the spot. “Go on.” I said finally, forcing my expression to stay blank. “Two months ago, I wanted to reach out to him for some…personal reasons. He was not in his office. And that secretary of his told me he was home, and that whatever thing that needed handling, he or the COO would take of it. Obviously I wanted to talk to my son directly. So I tried home, and the guards wouldn’t even let me through the gate. I’m his mother, and they blatantly refused.” “Is this the part where I feel sorry for you.” I asked pointedly, why was she blabbering about unimportant things anyway. She should be telling me about Pierce. Annoyance flickered across her face. And I could see the goody act for what it was. She tucked it behind a mask again. “When I questioned his s

    Not a bold smile, like I would expect, but one that conveyed vulnerability. Which seemed even scarier. I blinked rapidly hoping this specter from my past would disappear, but she persisted, and then began walking towards me. She was trying to cross the small street when I whirled around and climbed into my car, cringing at the force with which I slammed the door. “You slammed the door.” A very helpful Heidi pointed out. “Sorry doll.” I said quickly and paused. I had not heard that nickname in a while nor thought of ever saying it out-loud but here I was. Few seconds with his mother in sight and I was wigging out. “I’m not a doll, I’m a girl.” I didn’t turn back but I knew her nose and brows were scrunched up in a disgusted frown. I started the car and glanced behind, before slipping out of my parking space. I gripped the steering wheel tightly to stop my hands from shaking. What was it? Fear? I was scared. Not of Elizabeth but of what she signified. Pierce. What was
