Lindsay You can call me crazy for opening up a way for my husband's ex to talk to him again like this, but I knew Gideon would only listen to me if Laura talked to him first. I needed to try again, I wasn't going to be defeated like this. “So, Laura. Would you do this for me?” I asked her with fe
Laura I watched Lindsay leave, and my heart broke. I couldn't say that he was my best friend, but after all the time we spent, working together and growing this company, of course I felt an emotional attachment to her, after all we were talking about Lindsay. Furthermore, I sighed resignedly, feel
Young Williams' story began years ago, when he still couldn't understand his father and the complicated life he led as an influential billionaire... When Albert woke up that autumn morning, he rolled around in his big bed lazily, already imagining how his day would go—boring as usual. He got up gru
"Can't you cancel the academy, Bathory?" “Again, Williams? Why don't you close the gym at once?" He replied sharply. "Wow, you're thick today, huh?" "Like my dick!" "Like what...?" That was the voice of Emily Rosebery Williams, Albert's mom, who looked at them curiously. They had just arrived in
The hard truth behind the scenes Albert liked to drive himself, so as soon as they were in the car, he started the machine, the wheels gliding smoothly along the well-maintained road in upscale Manhattan. Max was silently fiddling with his cell phone while Albert drove smoothly. "Why don't you jus
"Don't be naive; you know how dangerous this world is. Hell is paved with good intentions." "I'm full too, just not with good intentions." Albert got out of there in such a hurry that Max had no way of reaching him. Sometimes he couldn't stand Max and everyone else in the world; there were things
"Young Williams." One of the shareholders spoke. "I even understand your position, but what guarantees us that this radical change may not lead to the ruin of this firm?" Several shareholders expressed their agreement with that issue, a buzz began to form there. "I assure you, we've been studying t
Albert "Abby? Abby." He could hear Max's blurry voice calling him as if he were underwater. Albert had his head buried between his legs, having a mild crisis of despair. “Rick and the others are already worried. Are you going to come out of this toilette or not?" Max was still slamming the cabin do
“I really wish I didn't care, just like you don't care,” I said. “Are my grades at school terrible? Fuck them; I don't care. Who cares about social life or social issues? I want everyone to explode. I'm going to continue here in my room playing my shooting and death games until I feel accomplished.
Jake Gardner “Please tell me. Is he really out of danger?” My wife asked on the other end of the line. “Yes, he is,” I replied. “The bullet hit his shoulder. He’s going to be fine.” I heard her sighing on the other end of the line. "Thank God. I'm going to call Amber to let her know; she's so wo
Annie It was my parents there trying to get closer to me. My heart almost came out of my mouth, and I almost melted with relief and also anguish. “Dad… Mom,” I stammered, my eyes filling with tears. But Peter was quick; he put his arm around my shoulder, pulling me to his chest, and placed the bar
Laura Jason was driving the car while talking to me about something random. “Terry is coming home this Christmas,” he was saying. “He has done an incredible job at the Pretoria branch, but he misses his family.” It had been a few months since Terence had moved to South Africa for work; he was one
Warning: sensitive content Annie “Are you ready?” Peter asked me as he and I were about to storm the Mexican diner down the street. He and I had spent hours talking about it, and no matter how much I told him not to do that and go back home, he said he would only come back after I granted him that
Laura I woke up with a start when I woke up, suddenly remembering where I was and what I was doing. “Wake up, Jason…” I called him, while running my hand over my face. He was sleeping next to me and woke up too. “Hmm, what's wrong? Did something happen?” He asked, looking at me with a sleepy fa
Annie “I thought you were the only one who understood me. So now you can’t blame me for being attracted to the monster that I am.” Peter's words weighed on me. When I found out about his secret, it was as if the world around me woke up in its most naked and raw colors; it was as if I now realized
Annie “I can't believe it; it's not true. Peter would tell me something like that if it were true,” I said in denial, my voice breaking. The surrounding town took its course as I stood there at the payphone with the phone to my ear. Peter's psychologist had just told me something that was shaking a
Annie I was staring at the white ceiling of that hotel room as I lay on my back on the bed, the annoying noise of the fan disturbing my thoughts. I was bored. Peter had left a few hours ago, saying he needed to take care of something important, so I was left alone in that hotel room. I had already
