Laura Jason ordered breakfast for us, and he was eating and talking to Annie as if they had known each other for a long time, it was incredible how well they two got along. "Yes, Ava. Annie was with Jason this whole time," I said, explaining to my friend on the phone while watching Annie and Jaso
Laura "You are jealous?" I asked him while we were still looking deeply at each other, so close to each other. "Of course I am," he replied curtly, and I couldn't stop the corners of my lips from turning up in a smile. "That never happened," I said to him. Jason had never been jealous of me bef
Laura "What? W-what are you talking about…?" I stammered, feeling my throat dry as I felt terribly judged by Richard and Ava's scrutinizing gazes, it was as if they were reading my soul in search of the truth. "Good heavens, what's all the fuss about? Even Annie could sense that something wasn't
When Richard left and it was just me and my daughter, as night had already fallen, I received a call from the number I recognized as Jason's. What did he want now? "Laura speaking," I said as soon as I answered. "Hello. You've had a pretty busy house today, haven't you?" He said with a light and
Laura"Why are you saying these things? Just to piss me off? Stop doing that," Jason said from the other side of the phone, and I ended up laughing, enjoying seeing him so jealous. "I'm just telling the truth, my dear. You're the one hurting over nothing, I never said we were a couple or anything,"
Jason The next morning, I had woken up first and was looking at Laura's cell phone. She was sleeping peacefully next to me, wrapped in the sheets so lazily, that I felt invited to lie down next to her, but I was doing something more interesting at the moment. "I'm using my woman's cell phone to t
Jason "Richard," I heard Laura whispering in astonishment, she definitely didn't expect the guy to appear out of nowhere at her house and find me there. "Daddy Ricky!" She shouted, and Annie ran to Richard, hugging him happily and innocently. "Good to see you, Daddy!" "I'm glad to see you too, g
Laura As expected, my daughter and I flew to Chicago on one of Jason's private jets, which made the trip much smoother. Although Annie was nervous and nauseous because it was her first time flying, I put her on my lap and caressed her to make her understand that she was safe. "It won't be long, i
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
