HE WOULD DO ANYTHING TO PROVE TO HER THAT HE CHANGED... Andrea Vamcap has done everything to leave her high school life behind. Now, she is a successful lawyer and can help the defenseless, just as she once was. The past, however, seems terribly willing to continue to bother her using her teenage bully, Gabriel Ferrars. As in the past, he is influential and powerful enough to continue to torment her even though he's not present, but Andy doesn't care about that. Now, she is able to defend herself. However, in a sadistic stroke of fate, she is forced to look for him to try to save her family... And the only thing he seems to want is for Andy to stay by his side, although she doesn't understand why. The past has haunted Gabriel Ferrars since the day the girl he used to bully saved his life, making him realize the gravity of the mistakes he made. People might think that the only reason he's still so obsessed with her even after ten years is because he wants her forgiveness, but Gabriel knows better. He knew the name of what he felt in the past and knows it now, even though there will never be an opportunity for him to redeem himself with Andy. Or at least, that's what he thought, until she shows up at his office. And, even though he knows he shouldn't, Gabriel can't help but use that gift fate has given him to keep her by his side, just long enough for him to prove how sorry he is... Although, deep down, he knows her forgiveness won't be enough. This book is connected with“How to Divorce a Grumpy Billionaire", but the two stories can be read separately.
View MoreAndy's mother used to say that kindness was more powerful than any kind of brute force. However, the truth was that since she was a child, and even today, at the age of 15, Andy suspected the veracity of that sentence since, apparently, it was because of her mother's thinking that she had spent so many years suffering from her husband's betrayals and contempt, only having managed to break free of it through a divorce that was barely a year old. Not that Andy had ever dared question Imogen about that because, well, she was her mother and the best person she knew, so there had to be some truth to that.
But at that moment, as she tried unsuccessfully to free herself from the grasp of the hands of the two boys who were dragging her by the arms along the Ferrars' country house, Andy could not believe more than ever that kindness was a cure for anything.“Let me go!” she screamed again, eagerly trying to kick one of their legs, but the boys just laughed and held her even higher, making her arms ache.“The cow is worth quite a fight, huh?” Mark Ferrars, who was walking ahead, chuckled and looked at her out of the corner of his eye, clearly enjoying the vision.“Fuck that.” Gabriel Ferrars, Mark's cousin and the responsible for Andy being in that situation, growled, furious as he always was when he got close to her “She knew she shouldn't have agreed to come to my house! And much less daring to be near me! Now, I'm going to teach her the lesson she deserves, to learn to never chase and piss me off again!"“I wasn't chasing you…” Andy gasped, horrified “I was going to my room and you guys happened to be in the hallway! It was an accident..."But her sentence was interrupted when the boys stopped in front of a door and, after Gabriel opened it, revealing a very small closet full of brooms and other cleaning items, Andy was flung inside, painfully scraping her back against the rough wooden floor.“So…” Mark started to ask, very casually “What are we going to do with her, exactly?” he licked his lips as he looked at her, making Andy's stomach sink in dread.Gabriel, however, did not answer. He just turned and gave his cousin a dark look, as if the deep, meaningless hatred he felt applied to everyone around him, though he only seemed to take it out on Andy. Then, finally, he elbowed Mark violently, knocking him to the side, and took a step forward towards Andy, making her shiver, barely able to imagine why he had made his henchmen drag her there. “Please…” she stammered, cringing until her back touched the bottom of the tiny closet."Screw this." he growled once more and, with a bang, closed the door, leaving her alone inside that dark place, but Andy's relief only lasted until the second she heard a click come from outside, very similar to a key locking a lock..."Hey!" in a panic, Andy stumbled to the door, feeling his blood run cold as he turned the knob and realized that they really had locked it in there “Open that door! You can't leave me here...!"“Shut up, you fat cow!” Gabriel growled and kicked the door hard, making Andy flinch again, out of pure instinct “Let's see if being locked in there you learn your place! Fucking idiot!”“So… If we're done with that part of today's fun…” Mark spoke, with a clear smile on his face “What do you say we go swimming? The river is always much more fun at this time of year...”“Fuck what we’re going to do!” Gabriel grumbled and even from behind the door Andy could hear the other boys gulping, intimidated by his anger "I'll go anywhere that's far away from that pile of lard!"“You can't leave me here!” Andy tried the doorknob again, this time with tears streaming from her eyes "Please!"The way she was pleading, however, was completely ignored by the boys, whose snorting snorts and Gabriel's furious snarls drifted down the hall until Andy could hear nothing but the sound of her own sobs and the metal of the doorknob, it didn't give any sign that it would open even after she moved it in every possible direction.With her throat choking and crying shaking her body, Andy's trembling legs were no longer able to support her and she ended up sliding to the floor of the broom closet, barely able to move properly in that small space, while hugging her knees, bitterly regretting the moment she had chosen not to be candid with her mother and brother about why she didn't want to come on that school field trip to the Ferrars' country house. But, her mom had been going through so much lately, with increasingly strong sessions of chemotherapy... It seemed so selfish to bother her by telling that Gabriel and his cronies had spent that entire school year cursing her, putting trash in her locker, and tripping her down the hall...Andy might be young, but she was well aware that the Ferrars had as much money and influence as her family, the Vamcaps. Otherwise, her grandmother wouldn't be so close to Gabriel's mother. So Andy knew she could say whatever she wanted to her mother and worry Imogen to the max, but still Gabriel would get away with it and the bullying he was doing to her would get even worse... Even though it got worse anyway, even that she always tried to avoid him as much as possible and pretend he didn't exist inside the school they both attended...Yet, here she was, alone and locked inside that closet, without any possibility of when someone would show up to help her.Like always.Through a tear-blurred vision, Andy watched her own hand curl around the doorknob, hating how easy it seemed to get out of there, but even so she would have to wait for someone's good will, only to crawl pathetically out of there to the first hole to hide, as she had during every second of that last year, when suddenly Gabriel had gone from being a kind and handsome classmate to be her executioner.But for the first time since Gabriel's dark blue eyes had looked at her with hatred and this whole nightmare had begun, Andy felt neither fear nor pity for herself.She felt angry.
Angry that she wasn't as strong as he was, that she hadn't had the courage to face him until now and, mainly, angry that all her attempts to avoid that situation had led her to this point. And, it was feeling all that accumulation of anger and revolt that she got back to her feet, gripping the doorknob tightly, while she started hitting her own shoulder against the wood of the door, over and over again.
Her shoulder hurt, making it very clear that the biggest and most painful bruise of her life was forming, but still Andy didn't stop, keeping the lock moving the entire time, until the latch was almost vibrating. That effort, however, caused the handle's slightly sharp corners, which had probably been done just to make the design more elegant and modern, dig into the skin of her hand, coming very close to grazing her palm and fingers.But, even as she felt her hand grow wet and hot, as a drop of blood fell to the floor, Andy kept throwing herself fiercely against the door, hearing the latch and the wood creak and scream, until, with one last blow that made her hand slip particularly painfully on the handle, Andy suddenly slammed forward, along with the now slightly crooked door, landing face down on the floor outside.
With the same bloody hands and shoulder throbbing with pain, Andy shakily got to her feet, sitting on the floor just to breathe for a second and enjoy the feeling of being free of that closet.And, no matter what she had to do, Andy was determined to be free of Gabriel Ferrars too, after that day.In the Calibur Pack, no one was satisfied with the Alpha's wedding, especially himself. Hunter had spent the last few years being told by everyone that he should find a woman, even if she wasn't his fated mate, and produce an heir for the pack as soon as possible. And now, as he stood at the altar, wearing a suit so old it seemed to be squeezing even his soul, he could hear the agitated murmurs of his wolves, scattered around the small chapel honoring the Moon God, but not quiet enough to his Alpha's keen hearing could not hear. “Oh, our poor Alpha…” one of the older women in the pack whispered “We prayed so hard for the God to send him a good Luna and now this… What did Hunter do to deserve a woman like that?” “I heard she once had a maid cut off her own finger so she could eat it.” one of the teens said to his friends, as if telling a horror story. "This is ridiculous. But the rumor that she has a collection of whips and names them all, so she knows what punishment to give to tho
“And lastly, the case Miller vs. Jones will be under the responsibility of Miss Matthewson.” Andy announced to his colleagues, turning off the tablet screen that was under the meeting room table, “Any questions? Well, they're dismissed. Have a good weekend, everybody.” she wished with a smile, causing all the lawyers to stand up, starting to get out of their chairs and take their folders and cases with them, but one person approached her chair before Andy could turn around to talk to Harriet “Is there a problem, Miss Matthewson?” she asked, looking at the young woman with short blonde hair and blue eyes that looked almost scared. “It’s not that, Mrs. Ferrars, it’s just…” she swallowed hard “Are you sure it wouldn’t be better to put this case in the hands of a more experienced lawyer?” “You did well being my support in the last trial.” Andy explained “I think
“Ian!” Harriet stopped her scream from spreading throughout her parents' entire house when she buried her face into the pillow, the only thing she could do as she felt Ian's body moving against her, making the pleasure all that was in her mind. “Harriet…” he growled against her ear, still holding her shoulders in front with one arm and using the other to pinch her nipples, keeping her where he wanted as he continued slamming that thick, long cock into her mercilessly, making her pussy leaking everywhere onto the white sheets “My angel…” Ian called her nickname, with his accent appearing between the syllables in a way that always warmed her heart, even when she wasn't able to realize it “That tight pussy is even better than I imagined…” “Ian…” she whined, rubbing her cheek against the sheet as her entire body swayed from his fierce thrusts.
“You don’t have to go in if you don’t want to.” Nathan muttered, although his attention was still fully focused on the car window, where he could see the main door of McCoy's mansion, just a few meters away from where they were parked. "I can get the things you want."Lynn didn't even know why that behavior bothered her so much. It was always like that between them. When she was still married to Henry, Lynn remembered wishing that something could happen to break the awkward tension that always existed between them, that made them smile awkwardly and avoid contact as much as possible, just so that an accident would never happen that would force them to to admit how attracted they were to each other. And now, she was officially divorced and had said out loud, and in the middle of an entire nightclub, that she wanted to sleep with him... But in the end, as much as they had agreed to be
“Grandma, I don’t think we have to put up the crests of the spouses of everyone who married into the family.” Alec sighed, discreetly moving his shoulders as if to push his grandmother away from his computer screen.“You’re already twelve, kid. It’s time to get to know the roots that form your family, even if it’s through school work.” Adele grumbled, again trying to reach her notebook, even though she probably had no idea how she could insert an image into the document.“I'm eleven years old, Grandma…” Alec snorted “Besides, this job doesn't need anything too special… This family tree thing doesn't even matter anyway…” he muttered and, even from where they were, sitting with Andy on a sofa a little away from the table where Alec was writing his work in the Vamcap libra
“Are you sure it wouldn’t be better to wear a suit?” Gabriel asked, looking at his sweater “I loved your gift, but I don't want your brother to think I'm being too casual…” “Gabriel, it’s a family-only Christmas dinner.” Andy laughed, hugging his arm even more tightly, while guiding Luca by the collar with his other hand and pulling them both into the Vamcap mansion, still seeming extremely familiar with that place even though it hadn't been her home for four months to be casual "And don't worry about Aaron's ugly face. He growls but doesn't bite. Only I can do this with you.” She released Luca, who ran free through the house in the direction where the food was coming from, and discreetly squeezed his ass, causing Gabriel to stop on the way just so he could hold her ass too and kiss her, moving his tongue in her mouth like his dick was doing in her pussy, just a few moments earlier, in the car.
“And then, as you can imagine, the doctor said everything was fine with me. I just need to ice the bruises and take some painkillers every now and then. Nothing that surprises me, since it's literally the fifth doctor to tell me this, but my family and Ian keep insisting... Mom, I'm talking to Andy! Will you stop doing that?!” Harriet snorted on the other end of the line, making Andy laugh softly. “You have to take care of that swelling in your ankle! You don’t want to be limping in your wedding day, do you?” Ms. Bloom complained and the cell phone started to sound strange and squeaky, as if it was being passed quickly from hand to hand. “How many times do I have to repeat it, mom? Ian and I being together now doesn’t mean we’re getting married tomorrow, no matter how much you and him insist on it!” Harriet complained, “Sorry, Andy, the people in this house are all crazy about marrying people off without their consent. Even when their own daughter was kidnapped less than a week ago.”
The sound of the shot hurt her ears, but even so, Andy forced herself to keep her eyes open, watching Mark's shoulder explode with blood, throwing him backwards, as the bullet she had been waiting for finally was fired.“Harriet!” Andy shouted, running towards where Mark had fallen, dropping the gun in one direction and Harriet in the other. “Run!”With her hands tied, her best friend rolled over on the floor, anxiously trying to get up even with her legs clearly wobbly, while Mark grunted in pain and anger on the floor, holding his injured shoulder as he screamed and tried to reach the gun that had slid away.“You fucking bitch! You’re all going to die now!”While he finally managed to reach Harriet and managed to help her try t
"Breathe deeply." Gabriel told her, when he finally parked the car in front of the abandoned gas station in the middle of the dark night, with only a streetlight in the distance illuminating the entire highway very poorly “It's going to be okay, I promise.”“Let's get out of the car slowly and without making any sudden movements…” Andy advised, reaching for his hand one last time, trying in vain to control her racing heart “And, please… Promise me that you won't put yourself in danger. No matter what he says, make sure you don’t get hurt, will you?” she begged, making him smile that smile she loved so much.“The same goes for you, my love.” he reminded, before, clearly unwillingly, taking his hand from hers “Now, let's go.”“Slowly
