Jason I almost couldn't move as I watched Laura practically run out of the mansion, running away from me. My chest rose and fell with pressure, and my heart beat wildly. I staggered across the room, holding on to the sofa, and threw myself onto the floor, lying on my back. "What was that? Fuck…"

LauraThe sound of my cell phone ringing scared me so much that I woke up scared, and then I grimaced, feeling the headache and massaging my temples. I had slept with my dress on and everything. I grumbled, picking up my cell phone, which was still calling, and then answered, stretching my neck beca
Laura"My God, what a huge hickey! You guys enjoyed the kiss yesterday, didn't you?" Ava said it mischievously as she looked at the photo of my neck that I had sent her, and I rolled my eyes with a sigh. "It wasn't like that at all, it was just a simple kiss," I lied, shrugging my shoulders to all
Laura To my delight or chagrin, Jason didn't show up at the launch of Nemesis' new clothing line that day. This partly made me relieved because I wasn't going to be all apprehensive about his presence in that place, but that didn't mean that I didn't miss him. We received many important people, c
Laura What's wrong with you, Jason? What are you doing? You're so close to me, so why don't you kiss me? Why are you avoiding me? Who said I wanted to talk about work? I want you to kiss me. I need you to grab me and kiss me passionately. Furthermore, I need to feel you again. Can't you see I'm fee

Lindsay POV We arrived at the hotel after a night that still echoed in me like a good dream. Wyatt was exhausted, which wasn’t surprising after such an eventful day at the Weiss house. He fell asleep almost immediately after I put him to bed, a slight smile on his face that made me feel that, despi
Lindsay POV The dinner was a marvel, an experience that felt like a warm hug in the form of food and company. Emma Weiss insisted that I try every dish she had prepared with such care, and I couldn’t deny how much it made me feel welcomed. "My lasagna recipe is famous," she said with a proud smile,

As we walked, I thought about what Abby had said. It wasn't Caleb who mattered; it was the betrayal of a friendship I thought would last forever. The pain of losing that trust was still fresh, and perhaps that was why I didn't want to think about Caleb at all. But at the same time, there was a part
Annie POV I watched my parents' car drive away with a sense of sadness; part of me wanted to go with them and give up on everything, but I was also excited to start a new life at Oxwell. The sound of the engine fading into the distance seemed to carry away a piece of my childhood, leaving me with a
