“Your friend Clary called me; is it true that you are pregnant?” A voice nervously asked. “Did Clary call you?” I asked in response, shocked. Why had she called Terrence and told him that? “She said you need money and are willing to sell this child to me in exchange for good fortune,” he explain
Laura “If you want to hit someone, hit me and not her,” I challenged him with my eyes still in fury still holding his arm. I wasn't going to let anyone hurt my daughter, not when I was still breathing. “You bitch!” He yelled at me and slapped me hard across the face, so hard that he knocked me to
“I will give you anything you want, but please let me have my daughter,” I begged again. I couldn't bear to hear my daughter crying, not really. He clicked his tongue as if it wasn't relevant to him. “She's a tantrum child, soon she'll stop crying and go to sleep,” he said, dismissing my request.
Jason "What? Is Suzy pregnant?” I asked in surprise after hearing Terrence's speech. I was in my office while finishing the last appointments for today; I was thinking about calling Laura and inviting her and Annie out for dinner tonight, that would be nice, although I thought Laura would probably
“I don't know exactly; she's saying that she's already given up and that she thinks she should continue alone, she also said that she and Annie are going far away and that they'll never come back, and that I shouldn't look for them,” I said, suddenly starting to feel a bitter taste in my mouth. “W
Suzy Ignoring any kind of warning that my instinct was sending me, I remained there, squatting among the bushes. It had been some time since the elegant woman had entered the wooden house, and everything was as silent as death. As Richard had closed all the windows in the room, I couldn't see what
“Suzy? What do you think you are doing?” He asked aggressively, already raising the gun towards me. I had been caught; now I would be killed. “You had so many chances to escape, Suzy, you fool,” I fought with myself in my thoughts. “Now you’re going to die like an idiot!” “What do you mean? What
Laura I tried to free myself from my bonds again; I had to find a way to save my daughter. That's when I heard voices arguing loudly in the compartment where my daughter was, and then the sound of a gunshot made me freeze. "Annie? My God, my daughter," I screamed in shock. My eyes were wide as I
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
