Surprisingly, the brothers wrapped up their signatures without any hesitation. My lawyer reviewed the final details, I offered them a few polite words, and just like that, it was done. Sara had secured two buildings and a couple of plots of land; I now held ownership of two buildings, including the
How had Sara ended up hiring Emma's beloved Jason? And more importantly—"Why did he refuse to work for you again?" I asked Emma, my curiosity laced with skepticism.Emma's face twisted with a hint of pain."He said he didn't want me ruining what little he'd managed to build for himself after workin
Lawrence Lewis's P.O.V.A month of medical leave? Whatever happened to Sara was no small matter. As I drove to her apartment with my heart lodged in my throat, my mind replayed our last encounter. The redness in her eyes, the bandage on her hand—I had dismissed it all, too consumed by my own nerves,
Today was one of those rare chances. I led her to the kitchen and helped her sit at the dining table. As I stepped away from her, I rummaged through her fridge and pantry. Luckily, she had all the ingredients. I got to work, focusing on every detail, and I even took the time to wash the dishes piled
What if it's more than just Victoria's threats? And what about the Whites? They had a vested interest in ensuring this marriage went through. Still... targeting Sara would be taking things way too far. She was a Brown. They wouldn't dare, would they?"Are you doubting it too?" I heard her sigh. "It'
Jason Aldrich's P.O.V.Love was both the source of life and the root of destruction. No one could take away the bitter certainty I carried since the moment I set my eyes where I shouldn't have—on a forbidden woman. Life had a way of putting you in your place, stripping away fantasies and cheap lies,
Jason Aldrich's P.O.V.After so many years of silence and working tirelessly to erase the bitter memories of Emma from my mind, she had appeared before me out of nowhere. It was as if she had materialized from thin air—a vision I would have preferred never to see again.I was working as a cashier at
During Sara's recovery, my workload had shifted. For the three weeks she spent confined to her parents' home—where there was more staff than actual residents—it was the easiest money I'd ever earned. The week I spent assisting her at her own apartment wasn't much different.But one thing cast a shad
I glanced briefly toward my brothers. One was drowning in tears, and the other stared blankly into the distance, looking more lost than I'd ever seen him. They were like children, paralyzed, waiting for a call from their father that would never come."Richard and Julian are here too," I informed him
The chaotic shuffle of medical staff filled my father's room, mingling with the sound of Richard's quiet sobs as he clung to the side of the bed. Julian stood beside him, murmuring words of comfort, one hand resting on his shoulder. But none of that could drown out the piercing cries of Victoria."W
The infamous Jason must have something special. It was the only explanation I could fathom for Emma's state and why Sara had come to trust him so much. My grip tightened involuntarily on the steering wheel. Realizing it, I forced myself to ease up and focus on the present."Don't dwell on those thou
Lawrence Lewis's P.O.V.It was hard to imagine my marriage to Emma getting any worse. The circumstances surrounding it were already enough to guarantee emotional disaster for both of us. Still, nothing could've prepared me for how dire her condition truly was.I wasn't just talking about the convers
I arrived at my parents' house, greeted immediately by the warm, savory aroma of roasting chicken wafting from the kitchen. Mom was there, dutifully watching over the oven like it held the secrets of the universe. I dropped my briefcase on the couch and made my way to her, barely stepping into the k
I gave up. There was no point in denying what was painfully obvious at this stage. Instead of arguing, I just looked at Amber with a defeated expression, and she sighed."Of all people," she began, "I never thought Lawrence would be the most calculating and ambitious of the group." She raised a fing
His lips were on mine, his hands gripped my hips, and his strength guided the rhythm of his movements inside me. The pleasure coursing through my body was undeniable—until an irritating, insistent noise shattered everything, yanking me out of my bliss.I opened my eyes, greeted by the harsh assault
"We could do it without clothes," my friend suggested slyly.I glanced at his face—handsome, exactly the type that would usually ignite something in me. But here's the catch: I couldn't even remember his name, I wasn't as into him as I should've been for a suggestion like that, and I definitely knew
My love life was an absolute mess. That much was certain. But one of the few things that kept me going was the tiny glimmer of hope that Lawrence's wedding wouldn't actually happen. If, however, Lawrence and Emma were in love—or worse, if she was pregnant—that hope would vanish entirely.And so, her
