“Ava, you didn’t have to do any of that; I would never leave you just for it. I didn’t marry you because of the children; I married you because I love you and I always will,” he said, holding my hand. But I withdrew. “But even so, I still felt useless as a woman, Terrence. It's like I failed at so
Laura Weeks later “What do you think of the color green for a baby shower?” asked Ava to me while we were talking on the cell phone. “Uh, I think it’s pretty conceptual. It’ll be a bit different from the usual pink and blue,” I replied, looking out the car window. I was going to the Williams Com
Laura The meeting assistant showed me the seat where I was going to sit, which I did immediately, after greeting everyone present, who were friendly to me, except for the blond man who was sitting next to Max. He just gave a slight nod when I introduced myself to him. “I managed to get Gid out of
Laura “Oh, Laura. What's your damn problem?" I asked myself, standing outside the bathroom, seeing that I had entered the men's bathroom. Well, I hadn't paid attention; my mind was occupied with the issue with Ava that I would have to deal with. Good heavens! Now Gideon Bathory must surely be thi
A cool breeze blew past me, so I straightened my coat. Would she leave me freezing out here until I gave up and left? She must have been really upset with me. Luckily, the door opened, and it was Terrence. He was looking at me a little apprehensively, so just by looking at him, I could tell that A
Laura “Laura! Wait!" I heard someone calling me from across the street, so I turned to see Jason running up to me. I was at the entrance of the building where I lived and had just gotten out of my car. Apparently, Jason had been waiting for me all this time. I sighed resignedly. What did he want no
“Look at this glutton who seems like Daddy,” I said, tickling her belly, and making her laugh horribly. "Let's go then? There’s an ice cream shop across the street,” Laura said, pointing. So she, Annie and I went to that place, where we ordered some ice cream and ate it while we talked, clearly
Laura I was lying in my bed feeling incredibly bored. I had just gotten back from work, and today had been quite exciting. “You know it’s not necessary for you to be here, right? Gid? We're just checking in,” I remembered Max saying that to his brother when he, his brother, a few other designers,
Laura POV “So are you going to help Gideon or not?” I asked him while we were still lying in our bed, looking at each other. Jason sighed as he threw his head back on the pillow and stared at the ceiling of our room. “I don’t know, to tell you the truth,” he replied. “May Lindsay forgive me, but I
Laura POV “Do you want to talk about what happened at the party earlier?” Jason asked me as the driver took us back home. I gave a resigned sigh and rubbed the numb area behind my neck. “No need to talk about it, honey. I'm tired, all I want now is my bed,” I told him. That party had really been l
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
