Fiona Hand in hand, Ethan and I exit the airport. A sort of sadness settles over me that our trip is over, and I can’t help but wonder if things will change now that we’re home. Yes, I agreed to move back in with Ethan. Yes, I’m sure we’ll keep having sex. But what if things take a turn for the w
Fiona “Wh-what?” The words tumble from my mouth before I can stop them. There’s no way he just said Jack, right? Did I hear him wrong? I glance at Ethan who doesn’t look at me. He keeps his eyes on the rearview mirror as Ryan clarifies, “Goldman, the main partner, explained that he and the two ot
Ryan nods and picks up a large envelope that looks like the type you would put important papers in. He doesn’t offer it to Ethan, which I find strange. Instead, he just says, “Goldman listed off several other offenses against Jack Aldridge. Among the list he has been missing deadlines, fails to comm
Ethan “What the hell was he thinking?” I growl, frustrated with the unethical and stupid work that Fiona’s ex-husband had done in my company. I may not have my full attention on the law firm, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t aware he’d been promoted for his work. It didn’t bother me, since I gave t
“Ah, yes, sir. Mr. Aldridge broke attorney-client confidentiality.” I hum, “I understand, and I agree that he should be punished, but Mr. Aldridge does not represent Silverclaw Law Firm, so I would like to request that the lawsuit be directed solely at Mr. Aldridge. I have emailed you a list of ob
Fiona I take my time making my way upstairs after Ethan leaves for his meeting. Sophia stopped me, asking about how our trip was, and she was much more enthusiastic about it than I thought she would be. I guess not everyone is upset about mine and Ethan’s relationship like his parents are. It giv
“Did you see who sent it?” I ask, but I can guess her answer. She hadn’t seen the sender the first time. I pull the paper from the corner down, tearing a long line off until I can see the black box inside. Like I thought, she shakes her head, saying, “No. This one was just in the mail room, and th
Fiona “Friday at one o’clock. Yes sir,” I confirm, entering the new meeting on Ethan’s schedule. I glance through the glass of Ethan’s office which is still empty. He’s been in a development meeting for the last hour with Chris’s company to discuss the equipment for the new wing at the hospital.
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
