He must’ve gotten our information from Ethan beforehand, which will make this a bit easier since we don’t have to start from scratch.“I’ve found that you have a five-million-dollar inheritance, an older house that she was gifted by her parents, and a small house she retained from a charity auction,
Fiona“You have no right to tell me which woman I can choose,” Ethan growls, the anger in his voice making me shiver.His secretary wipes at her tears. She had to know this was coming. There are so many women around Ethan. I mean, he’s momentarily interested in me, but she should remember he’s a bil
We were happy at one point, I thought, but seeing Jack so heated makes me wonder. Was our happy life ever real?“Step back, Jack,” my father warns as I stand at his side. The protective tone makes my heart squeeze when I remember how much time he used to spend with me and my mother. We were a happy
FionaShock rockets through me as Ethan lifts my stepmother into the air with a growl. He moves between us and drops her, sending her to the ground in a crumpled heap.“I don’t hurt women,” Ethan says, “But if I see you harming Fiona again, I may not be so polite again.”The threat sits heavy in the
“That’s just like Isla not to say,” he mutters, “But I was so glad to hear your name when it popped up in conversation. I can’t believe it’s been so long since we’ve seen each other. Come on, take a seat.”I follow him to a small table that already has a coffee cup waiting.Excitedly, Chris dives in
Fiona“You would be entering data, filing papers, scheduling appointments, maintaining records, and helping everything run smoothly,” Chris explains. “At my company we work with charity organizations as well, so you may work some weekends or nights to help with events. In fact, we’re currently worki
“Are you in contact with him now?” He asks again.“Now?” I ask, glancing down at my phone. “Not at the moment, but I saw him two hours ago.”Mr. Adair narrows his eyes a bit, rests his elbows on his desk, and steeples his fingers. His stare settles on me and sends a wave of discomfort through me. Ha
FionaShock jolts through me.“I’m alone, Ethan. What’s going on?” I ask, biting back on my irritation. Why is he yelling at me? I didn’t do anything to make him angry… did I?“Come to Silverclaw, now,” he orders then hangs up. I stare at my black screen for a minute, a terrible twisting feeling tak
EthanI fucked up.“You did. Now she’s going to keep ignoring us,” Zev growls, pacing in my mind. He wants out, wants to go to our mate, but the door between us may as well be a canyon. The cold shoulder she gave me even after I told her about Angela was more than icy. It was almost emotionless.So,
Turning on my heel, I march toward the stairs, ignoring his calls and making my way down to the kitchen. I leave him behind to stew on my words, and when I get to the kitchen, I find the staff in full swing.“Breakfast is ready if you would like to sit at the dining table, Ms. Fiona,” a young woman
I hate that it’s so easy for him to control me.I hate that I can’t fight back.I hate it.“Please let me go,” I beg. Maybe if I beg hard enough, he’ll feel bad and let me go. He doesn’t stop, though. I wiggle and try to get out of his hold, my irritation pooling within me, as he continues to march
FionaThe soft yellow morning sunlight shines off the glass as I push it open. This is my only chance, my only option, for escape. Or that’s what I tell myself as I look over the ledge. If I try to go out the front, Ethan or the staff will stop me, but if I go out this way…The drop shouldn’t be tha
“Zev, is that you? Are you making Ethan do this or is he in control?” I ask, leaning up between the seats. Ethan’s eyes flash gold, but just as soon as they turn, they go back to their original green.During the times Zev was in control, his eyes were always gold and shining, but right now, Ethan is
FionaEthan’s hopeful gaze makes my heart ache, like something is pressing down on my chest in an attempt to crush my ribcage.Nevertheless, I know what my next step is. No matter how I badly want this relationship to happen, I can’t be with him knowing it could end in pain. There are so many unknow
There’s nothing good about having two men, who you thought loved you, betray you.“I’ve apologized, and I’ll apologize a million more times if it stops you from hating me, Fiona. I don’t want to keep you at a distance anymore,” he all but pleads. The serious tone claws at my insides, and I wish I co
Fiona I stare at Ethan, trying to process what he’d just said.“Playing it safe? What about our relationship has ever been safe, Ethan?” He opens his mouth to answer, but I raise a hand to stop him. “You know what, no. That’s not fair. I’m just a human and can’t understand everything going on in yo
FionaDid he just say that?After all the back and forth, getting close to me then going away, and the relationship struggles we’ve had, he goes and tells a bunch of reporters that we’re dating.AND that I’m the only woman he wants to be with?I shake my head and let hit fall back against the door w
