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
LauraI thought about his words while looking at him, somehow that statement was making me emotional. Rosanne held my daughter's little hand and led her inside while the two chatted happily. Jason and I were following them. "This place is still the same as it always was," I commented as I took a lo
Laura "Are you in Chicago?" Ava asked on the other end of the line, amazed at what I had just told her. "My God, Laura. How did this happen?" I sighed, running my hand through my hair. I was avoiding telling Ava about it because I was afraid of her judgment. Furthermore, it was clear as water that
The issue seemed serious; thankfully, Jason didn't live in Chicago, and his father and his friends seemed much more problematic than him. I couldn't explain why it seemed so difficult for men to stay faithful to their wives. "It seems like we're just going to sum up our lives with our unfaithful h
Jason We were all gathered at the dinner table while we talked and shared the Christmas tree. I liked that Laura was always by my side, still a little shy about joining the family again and talking openly. I liked having her close to me because I felt more in control and more stable. Furthermore, I
Jason I was standing on the balcony of the mansion next to the garden while smoking a cigarette to try and clear my mind, I wasn't much of a smoker, but I was so upset that this was the best option I had right now. Having met my father in such a spontaneous way affected me in a way I didn't expect.
Laura Jason was right when he said that there would be nothing interesting in New York for me and my daughter on New Year's Eve. I mean, I didn't want to spend another New Year's Eve alone watching fireworks and hustle and bustle everywhere while I was at the window of my house with my daughter in
Max POV “You want me to talk to my husband to help Gideon; is that what I heard?” Laura was asking me that with a look of shock on her face. “That's right, you heard very well,” I replied. “I want you to talk to your husband to help my brother.” Laura Williams Davies wanted to roll her eyes rig
Max POV“Could you give me a minute, please?” I asked as I approached Albert Williams. He was talking to Mel, his wife, and now that I had approached them, they had both turned to look at me.“Is it urgent?” Mel asked me, but it wasn't like I addressed her.“It has its urgency, I admit,” I replied h
Max I had left Lindsay alone with her new boyfriend in order to give them both privacy, especially because Matt Weiss might feel a little intimidated if I was around since he knew I was Lindsay's ex-husband's brother. I was going to find some fun at that party when I felt my shoulders being grabbed
Laura “I can really see your own secretary hitting on your husband and you can’t? Good God, you never change, don’t you, Laura?” Ava was rolling her eyes as she said that to me. I was really in shock as I saw that scene unfolding in front of me and at that moment I couldn't hold back, I immediate
Lindsay “Oh my Goodness, your brother doesn't stop staring at me like that. Is it because of my dress?” I asked, running my hand over my short, skin-tight dress that I had dared to wear for today. Why not, right? Max Bathory chuckled mischievously. “Maybe Gid is missing your feminine attributes, i
Laura I was in a corner of Albert's party with a glass of sparkling wine in my hand, sitting on one of the corners sofas in the company of Ava while she was telling me some gossip, and I was wandering around a little distracted, my gaze in the direction of Jason, who was chatting with some of his f
Zoey The party was in full swing. I didn't know what impressed me more: the undeniable luxury of the decoration or the people walking around, all of them looking like they came out of a movie. The atmosphere was vibrant, but in an elegant way—a play of soft lights and restrained laughter. The dres
Lindsay Melanie sent me the invitation, but I was so hesitant to confirm my presence at that party because, of course, it was her husband's party, who was Max's best friend, my ex-husband's brother, so I knew Gideon would be there. Zoey didn't need convincing; as soon as she received the invitatio
Zoey It was a cold night, but somehow, the anticipation I felt made the environment feel welcoming. Laura, always so generous and friendly, invited me to her brother Albert's birthday party. He was in his 30s, and from what I knew, he was always surrounded by a class of people I only saw in movies
