Laura “Hey, honey, wake up before we lose our leaves,” said a voice as I felt my shoulder being shaken. I slowly opened my eyes, only to have Richard's face very close to mine. I moved away from him, using all the strength I had, but he grabbed me tightly and pulled me into his arms. “Cheer yoursel
I staggered helplessly, almost falling to the ground, but he caught me and held me steady. "Are you well? Maybe this can help you”, he said, taking another pill from his pocket and putting it in my mouth. “No…” I denied it, turning my face away even though I was powerless, but clearly, he forced m
Laura “She's alive; although Laura believes her daughter is dead, she is alive,” said Richard's voice while he was talking to someone on his cell phone. I could see from the clock on the bedside table that it was 3 am and everything was still pitch black outside. There in the apartment room, Richar
Laura Filled with adrenaline and fury for having just learned that that bastard hid the truth about my daughter still being alive all this time just so he could manipulate me, I hit him in the back of the head with the bat, using all my strength in a scream. Richard grunted, leaning his body forwar
Suzy “Are you doing this because of our child?” I asked calmly, and I saw Terrence sighing slowly. “I just want you to get out of here as quickly as possible, and you will. As you saw, the lawyer I hired is the best for this type of case, and the defense was excellent. He used your heroic act of
I laid my body on my back on the bed and stared at the roof of my saddle. It's incredible how people were so opportunistic and only thought about themselves. I thought about Annie and that dangerous night when I almost sacrificed my life to save her. I hadn't seen her since that morning, as I was tr
Suzy The coffee and cupcakes I had ordered were still untouched on the table. I was drumming my fingers on the table a little apprehensively to talk to the person who had made an appointment with me at this coffee shop in downtown Manhattan. That would be my last action before I left this city fore
“I'm pregnant too, Suzy. That’s why I’m here,” she confessed. I opened my eyes wide, giving a comical laugh. “Woah! So that means our dear Terrence scored two goals from different beacon,” I said with a laugh. So she's pregnant too? So that must be why Terrence never hesitates in wanting to get ri
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
