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
"I don't believe in this nonsense," I said exasperatedly, throwing the pregnancy test back into the sink. "Do you believe that our marriage will improve if you give me a child?" "A child always brightens a house, we could use a little more joy here," she said hopefully. "You want joy? Go to a cir
JasonI was drumming my fingers anxiously on the steering wheel of the car that I had prepared for me so that it would be available for me to use as soon as I arrived in Staten Island. It had been a few minutes since I had parked the car on the road opposite the daycare center. Saint Laurent and I w
"Fulfilling my requests? Only when it suits you, right?" I threw those words in his face. "I thought our friendship always came first.""What? What are you talking about?" He asked confused now. "I have to go, we'll talk later.""What? Wait, Jason…!" He tried to stop me, but I turned off my cell ph
LauraI was in my office at the Hextec offices while finishing my work that afternoon. In short, the time I had spent in Manhattan working with Nemesis had been such a success that nowadays what we mostly have here at Hextec is work, both small companies and large renowned firms sought out our marke
Laura "It's not like that, Richard. Charme caused me trauma that didn't necessarily have to do with my ex-husband," I told him, trying to hold on to that. I was swallowing hard, feeling cornered by his questions. I simply had no way of answering those questions. He was silent, sighing frustrated
Laura "Are you sure that no one in your family or close to you picked her up from daycare today, ma'am?" The police officer asked when I went to file a complaint at the nearest police station. It was already dark, and I was almost becoming a desperate madwoman, looking for my daughter everywhere.
Laura "Are you saying my daughter was kidnapped?" I asked fearfully. "I'm not saying anything, but that could be a possibility. There are a lot of criminals who trick children with sweets and stuff and then kidnap them," said Terence, and I put my hand on my chest in fear. I swallowed hard at t
Lindsay POV I woke up with a tumult of emotions, a weight on my chest that made me think of Wyatt even before I opened my eyes. The clock read 5 a.m., and there was Gideon, sleeping as if nothing had happened. But for me, everything had changed at that moment of weakness. "What the hell did I do?"
Max POV "Fuck! My couch... I'll never be able to look at it without feeling disgusted," I muttered to myself, still staring at the piece of furniture with repulsion. The night was somewhat rainy, and the sound of drops hitting the window seemed like a warning from fate. Gideon and Lindsay had just
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
