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
Laura Suddenly, my breathing was heavy, and my chest hurt. Panic was building inside me. Where did those people come from? What were they doing? Why were they asking questions about such intimate topics in my life? “Do you think it’s right to destroy a home, Mrs. Thompson?” “You got back togethe
“The only thing I want is a divorce, but he refuses to give me even that; he doesn't want me to get rid of his evil clutches. But today I'm here to beg you to give me a divorce and set me free, so I can pick up the pieces of my broken heart in peace, Jason Davies. Please, set me free,” she said, end
Laura “Did you slap him in the face?” Ava asked, eyes wide with amazement, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. “That was really strong,” I said with a chuckle, stroking the palm of my right hand as I thought about it. “You should have seen his face. He was more in shock than in pain, not bel
I ended up putting my hand on her belly. “Is my nephew or niece growing up well?” I asked with a smile. She giggled. “The doctor said that everything is fine with my pregnancy; it’s been ten weeks now,” she said, excitedly. “How cute! The baby will soon be jumping in your belly; Annie loved doin
Max POV“You were the one behind those two's divorce, Ms. Williams-Davies,” I told her. “For Lindsay, you are the other woman. And you still think you have the right to say that wanting to bring them together is not your business?”Laura was blinking, visibly impacted by my words. It was obvious tha
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
