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…"
"It was wonderful, Terry," I said, smiling like a fool. "We kissed, and it was a kiss that will go down in history." "Woah, so it was that kiss, right?" Terrence seemed excited too. "That kiss, friend. That kiss," I stammered, laying my head on the couch and staring at the ceiling while my though
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
Jason "Can you come over for Christmas this year, please?" My mother invited me, wanting me to attend Christmas with her and Grandma at their mansion in Chicago. "I'll probably be full of work, so don't count on me," I said, without much emotion, still looking at the computer screen. "For God's
Jason I was beginning to feel overwhelmed as the revelation of truth dawned on me and the infinite possibilities began to open up in my mind. Did Laura have a daughter who looked like me? Why? I tried to dig in my mind to see if I had ever seen Laura's daughter before, but I only remembered seeing
Gideon POV I was there, lying on the luxurious apartment couch, with Lindsay beside me, as I had always dreamed. My body was relaxed as if all the tension from recent times had left my shoulders, and my mind was so light that only happy thoughts passed through it. That was the power she had over me
Gideon POV I was there in the car, and I still couldn't believe that Lindsay was kissing me. After so long yearning for this moment, and suddenly, with a piece of advice from Jason and a day of practicing that advice, there she was, surrendering to me, kissing me with a passion that consumed me fro
Lindsay's POV I didn't know what to expect when I returned to work knowing that Gideon would be my new boss, but I certainly didn't imagine the day would be a whirlwind of emotions. The idea of working alongside my ex-husband didn't seem easy, but I was determined to show that I am professional, ca
Lindsay POV I was in the women's bathroom, watching my reflection in the mirror as I tried to compose myself to face Gideon once again. Seeing him there at the company had already been a surreal surprise, but finding out that he would be my new boss? It had completely disarmed me. I had even yelled
Laura POV I was lying on the dark blue sofa in my office, feeling every nerve in my body tense as if it were about to snap. Sunlight streamed through the windows, but it couldn't dispel the darkness of the day unfolding. The morning had started with Zoey's dismissal, leaving a bitter taste of betra
Lindsay POV I was boiling with anger. Each step I took in Laura's office seemed to echo my frustration. How could she have done this to me? "What the hell was that? What is Gideon Bathory doing here?" It was true that I was screaming somewhat hysterically, but no one could blame me for anything si
Lindsay's POV Seeing my ex-husband there in front of me, as the new director of Hextec, and not only that, but assigning me to be his assistant, was a shock. My heart almost stopped when I realized that my new boss would be Gideon. He had a look that seemed to apologize, but there was also a deter
"I really feel sorry for this unsettling situation," I commented, not knowing what to think. Laura nodded and then rubbed her face as if trying to shake off that bad feeling. "But enough of that. I have something for you." She handed me a stack of documents with trembling hands. "We have a new dire
Lindsay POV "Mommy, are you going to bring me chocolate when you get off work today?" my boy asked me over the phone. I gave a little laugh, loving to hear his voice on the other end of the line. "Yes, my love. Mommy will bring you a giant chocolate," I replied. "Yay! That way I can save some for
