Terrence That morning I woke up with an immeasurable headache, and then I remembered having drunk my shit last night. I was so frustrated yesterday that I ended up fighting with Ava, and then I went to a bar to drink to see if I could forget about my damn problems, and now I was having this annoyin
"That's enough?" I asked, wanting her to leave me alone. “Hm, that's enough for now,” she said after counting the money and putting it in her handbag. “What do you mean when you say for now?” I asked, but she surprised me with a quick kiss that I didn't even have time to pull away from and then
Ava As expected, Terry didn't sleep at home the night before. He went out drinking because he was angry with me and left me alone at home, worried. He deserved me to be very angry with him, but at that moment I could only be worried. I barely slept at all the whole night waiting for him to arrive;
Laura That morning, I woke up to my daughter's voice calling me. We had already returned to New York, and Jason couldn't sleep at my house the night before because he had a lot of things to resolve in Manhattan. Since he had stayed in Chicago for almost a month, he had to go back and resolve his pe
Laura “Are you going to do an artificial insemination procedure?” I asked, looking at my friend. She and I were shopping at a clothing store. Jason had invited me to a romantic dinner tonight, so I wanted to surprise him with a new dress. "Yes, we are going. Terry is looking for a good clinic for
Laura“Are you going to tell me why your thoughts are so far away, or are you still going to continue pretending that it’s not important?” Jason asked, hugging me from behind and sniffing my neck. After dinner, he took me to his flat to enjoy the rest of the night. It was already early in the morni
“I don't deny that, but he always respected me and was on my side even though I said no. He always knew how to wait for my time and respected my decisions,” I explained. Jason grunted as if he didn't like that. “The guy does this and already becomes a hero?” He ridiculed him. I lifted my head and
Laura We had a long discussion that night because we had a lot to put on the table, so sometimes the discussion became heated and other times it became calm. Having me now be an argument woman might have scared Jason, but I wanted to make it clear to him what my point of view was on several issues
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
