Ava There was a garden there in the clinic's courtyard where he and I could talk. Terrence took me there and then stood in front of me with his hands in his pockets; he still couldn't look me in the eyes. "How did this happen?" He asked himself more than me, perhaps still wanting to understand whe
Laura When I woke up, it was like waking up from a deep dream—a delirium that made me believe in a complete illusion. I hadn't forgotten anything that had happened to me; I still remembered every detail of what I had experienced, so much so that I couldn't even feel happy about my return. When th
“You have to know how much I sacrificed trying to find you and how much I worked. I gave myself completely to be able to find you, and even though I didn't find you directly, I helped you a lot indirectly because otherwise that bastard Richard could get you out of the United States,” he said, making
Laura Annie asked to spend some time with Suzy, and then Suzy suggested that they play on the porch of my room at the private clinic where I was. I let them go there, but I always kept an eye on Annie. I looked at Ava, knowing that neither Annie nor Suzy were so close that they could hear our con
Laura "Oh, my love. I was so worried when Jason told me what was happening. I'm so happy that you're here with us safely now,” said Rosanne as she hugged me as she entered the clinic room where I was admitted. “Thank you for coming, Rosanne. I'm fine now; you don't need to worry so much,” I said t
“Okay, but if she wanted to date, there are a lot of gentlemen her age who would love to meet her. She doesn't need to be getting involved with a kid who's barely out of diapers,” he said, sounding exasperated. “Why is it so easy to accept when an older man gets involved with a younger woman than w
Laura “Are you saying our love is wrong, Laura?” He asked, looking offended. “What am I really to you, Jason? Be honest,” I responded with a question. “What do you mean, what are you to me? You are my wife,” he said, but I quickly corrected him. "Ex-wife. In case you've forgotten that, I'm st
I sighed, resting my head on the pillow and looking at the ceiling. “Maybe it wasn't Richard I should protect myself from, but rather you,” I commented. “I definitely had to turn down your marriage proposal when I had the chance,” I commented with distant thoughts, thinking about how my life had gon
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
