We drive to the Lawrence mansion in silence. I didn't know what to say, how to make Pierre's mood improve. It was clearly obvious to me that Andreas was too close to Pierre's heart, he loved him like a son. And Andreas only had two months to live from now on. Would that be the best thing for the poor boy? Could it be that it means you have to prepare for the sadness that is about to enter your life? Could it be that the fact that someone close to your heart will die, but will have peace, makes it anything but painful?

I looked out the window, lost in my thoughts. A feeling of warmth washed over me and I turned to see Pierre squeezing my hand over the car console. And he didn't even seem to notice it. A small blush covered my cheeks, but I just shrugged. I really liked that Pierre sought me out for comfort. Somehow, in some fucked up way, it made me feel almost special to him.

“I never told anyone about Andreas. Pierre spoke after a while. “Not my mother. Not my father. Not even Adria

    Pierre looked at me, concern evident in his eyes. - What happened? I shook my head, looking down. They were here. They were having sex here. Frederich and Shelly were my worst nightmare. They could do anything and they'd said it a million times. I knew what they wanted, but I wasn't stupid. I wasn't willing to sign my own death certificate. — Jennifer. Pierre said firmly, making me look at him. “We need to leave. I muttered. “I don't know where. Frederich and Shelly... "Frederich and Shelly?" Who are they? Pierre asked, frowning. He picked up the phone and pressed a few buttons. I watched numbly as he pressed the phone to his ear. “Adrian, what did you say to her? Pierre asked with anger leaking from his voice. "What the fuck is this?... Okay, well... I'll take you to my hotel... But you better explain this to me tomorrow." Pierre looked at me worriedly and said, "Let's finish the food, shall we?" I nodded, getting up, or trying anyway. Pierre tugged on my hand, making it impos

    There are some things in life that no matter how hard you try, you don't want to accept. We know it's true, but apprehension doesn't let us believe it. The possibility of it being something so horrible, that just thinking it might be real is unacceptable, scares us. And now, looking at Pierre, I knew he was barely digesting this news. It's not every day that the simple owner of a small cafe says she's the heiress to a billion-dollar company. Pierre looked at me as if I had just spoken Aramaic. I looked at Adrian, who looked as nervous as I felt. He walked around the room and I just stared at the floor, wishing a hole would open up and swallow me. Suddenly, the idea of ​​running away from here didn't seem so bad. "Are you the daughter of Frederich and Shelly Harrison?" Pierre finally snapped, an underlying accusation in his voice. - Yea. I replied, almost patting myself on the back because my voice came out strong. - He is sure? Pierre asked and I raised my eyebrows at him. He quick

    - It is clear. he said, a little forcefully. “I had business, so I stayed at the hotel. I don't know where Adrian is…Jennifer too, mama…Yes, I'll call him and let him know if I know…Yes, mama…" Then his expression changed to horrified, which seemed a little comical. — I love you troppo, mama. As soon as Pierre cut the call, Adrian started laughing. Pierre looked at him, and I bit my lip and cheeks to keep from laughing too. The horrified look on Pierre's face was very funny. A laugh burst from my lips unintentionally and Pierre turned his penetrating gaze on me. His face went from stoic to smooth in a millisecond, taking me by surprise. “What happened then? - Pierre asked. Jenny asked her parents. Adrian answered for me. “Actually, she confronted them. And her parents told her that everything Frederich was saying was true. They were unable to have children and most of the adoptions they tried failed. When they were about to give up hope, the Harrisons entered the game. They just wan

    “Take a deep breath, man. Pierre muttered when we arrived at Lawrence Manor. Our hands were clasped over the console, and I looked up at him, fear evident in my eyes. Pierre's dark eyes bored into mine. - I will be with you. And my idiot brother too. I managed a small smile, unbuckling my seat belt and getting out of the car. Pierre grimaced, but soon replaced it with a blank look I already recognized. And he hated it. As we walked to the house, a scene that looked like something out of a movie greeted us. Marta and Shelly were laughing and drinking wine, and a part of me wondered who in their right mind would drink wine at 11 am. They were all fake laughs, no doubt, sizing each other up. A high-pitched laugh snapped me out of my reverie. I wanted to run out the door I'd just walked through. — Ciao, mama. Pierre greeted and the eyes of the two women went up to us. Shelly assessed Pierre and under her icy gaze I squirmed. I had to admit, she looked fine. She was impeccably dressed i

    Pierre's past? I looked at Adrian curiously, waiting for him to say something. Anything. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious about Pierre's past. I was wondering. - AND? “I requested when he refused to say anything. We got in the car and Adrian started driving while I waited for answers. Adrian shot me an irritated look at my insistence. “I can't tell you, Jenny. Pierre would kill me if he knew. I shook my head. We drove in silence until Adrian spoke again. "So... You know Dylan, right?" I raised my eyebrows. “Yes, he works across from my cafe. What about him? - He is gay. - Adrian stated. - I know. I replied quickly, not knowing where this was going. “And…” Adrian stopped before continuing. “He asked me out. He finished quietly. - Which? Adrian took a deep breath before repeating the phrase. Louder this time. “He asked me out. Oh my. Other? - Which?! I exclaimed, surprised. 'How did he know?' Since Adrian said he was gay, he was the one who usually asked guys out. T

    Adrian shook his head at me, taking my hand and pulling me with him. The house was locked and Adrian went around, taking the key from under a rock. I raised my eyebrows as he opened the door. The smell of dust greeted us. This place looked like it hadn't been used in years. All the furniture was covered in dust and only a few pictures remained on the wall. I immediately made my way to them. Adrian started to say something about the construction, but I didn't have an ear for him. I was ashamed to admit it, but I was more interested in finding out what Pierre was like when he was young. I looked at a family photo that was taken outside the house, overlooking the lake. Mr. Lawrence looked proudly at the family as Pierre and Adrian dropped to their knees for Marie. I felt Adrian stand beside me, then a laugh escaped his lips. “Oh, I remember that. He laughed softly, as if reliving the memory. I turned to look at him. - AND? “Pierre and I were fighting over Mom. We always did. So my f

    Insomnia? I looked at Pierre in shock, swallowing. I was speechless. What do you say when someone tells you they have insomnia? Laughing at him wasn't really an option, nor was asking if he was okay, I guess. “Uh…” I stuttered. - I need to go. Without waiting for him to respond, I fled to the bedroom. I was a coward, I know that, but I wouldn't be able to say anything. And I was an expert at getting away. The first thing I did when I got to mine was grab my laptop and type insomnia into the search box. “Insomnia is a sleep disorder where there is an inability to fall asleep or stay asleep for a long time. While the term is sometimes used to describe a disorder demonstrated by polysomnographic evidence of disturbed sleep, this sleep disorder is often practically defined as a positive response..." “You could have just asked me to tell you what insomnia is. I jumped when I heard Pierre's voice behind me. I turned around with my hand over my heart, and looked at him, stunned. Damn i

    I moaned as his tongue found mine, dominating me. I wasn't an easily dominated person, but somehow with Pierre I liked to lose control. He made me want to lose control. He made me want him like I've never wanted anyone in my life. — Oh… Pierre. I said as his lips descended to my neck, making me arch my back, wanting him to take me completely. He nibbled my neck, sucking on it, making me lose the last shreds of self-control I had. My hands worked to unbutton his shirt, and I spread my palm across his chest, feeling the contours of his muscles. I traced a finger around his nipple, eliciting a moan from him. He flipped me over, causing my laptop to fall to the floor. I looked up in surprise, wanting to yell at Pierre. My notebook! Pierre didn't give me a chance to talk as his lips found mine again. “I'll buy you a new one. he whispered against my lips, and before I could protest, he kissed me in a punishing rhythm. I sucked in a breath as he left my mouth, making him smile at me. Pi

    Calm down, Jennifer. Remember to breathe. You have time. I repeated to myself all the time. The problem is, it's hard to focus on these things when you're in excruciating pain that feels like it's going to rip a part of your body off. “I'm here, man. Pierre's calm, reassuring voice wasn't helping either. I knew it was meant to be comforting, but if he said it one more time, I'd throw the first thing my hand could reach at his head. Adrian was driving like a madman down the street and I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted to get into the operating room right away. I had been stubborn and waited until the last minute, apparently. If I'd decided to go to the hospital the night before, we wouldn't be swearing at slow drivers or running through traffic lights at noon. “Adrian, go faster. She's crushing my hand. - Pierre said in a pained voice. I had taken her hand by the time I got in the car and she must have been white from my blood pressure. "Pierre, I'm not going to... aaaaaaaah!"

    The next day the cyclone was still raging, which meant me and him stuck together in the villa. And after last night, I really don’t want to see Pierre at all, or his smirk. I walked to the huge study and started browsing books. The only good thing about my husband was that he had huge collections of books. I smiled at books from my favourite author. I took one and curled up on the recliner.As I opened the book, the smell wafted through my noise. I always found the smell of old book…amazing. “I wonder why I am seeing you everywhere” I heard his voice and turned towards the door. He was standing there, walking towards the desk. Unlike other days, he was wearing faded jeans and black t-shirt. He looked almost human but for the anger in his eyes. However, his face looked weird.I frowned. “What’s wrong?”“Why do you assume something is wrong?” he looked quite surprised by my question.“If everything was fine you would have a scowl on your face and your taunts would have

    “Hey wake up” I heard his voice. Did I hear concern in his voice? Why was everything blank anyways?I felt cold hands on my arms, shaking me. I slowly opened my eyes to see a very angry Pierre. He sighed. “The next time you run off, its over.” He said and helped me up. I looked down and saw the bloody hole I fell into. Who digs a hole in the middle of a path?We walked all the way to the house with him grumpy and mumbling how stupid I was. The sky went from sunny morning to a grey dark. “Shit” my husband stopped in front of me and I bumped right on his back. He was looking up “It’s going to rain” he said and turned to me.“I trust you have enough energy to run?” he asked and I nodded. By the time we reached the house however, we were both soaked. I walked immediately to my room and headed for a warm bath. It was nice to soak in bubbly warm water after being in the dirt and running though my feet hurt like hell after my fall.I stared at the ceiling, wondering again,

    It feels great when what one thinks actually happens. Two days since we arrived on the island and Pierre was still stuck in his study with his laptop and phone. I on the other hand, had the privilege to tour the beautiful island. On the north was an amazing sandy beach with a myriad of clear blue water and the sunny sky. The south of the island however, there was this gorgeous cliff with huge waves crashing onto them. This island was amazing. I was only able to tour the north and south in the two days. “You are free to do whatever you want to. There is only us and the house staff on the island, so you should be safe from paparazzi as well” Pierre had said before disappearing into the study. Well at least that put my mind to rest. I was able to enjoy this holiday. “Breakfast!” I heard the familiar voice call. Ever since we came, I had not seen him at all. When I turned, it was to find the business magnate Pierre gone, and a very tired looking one instead. However, unlike the usual b

    I glanced at Adrian as he reached my side at the altar. Fucking asshole. “If you weren't my brother, you have no idea what I would do to you, you idiot. I muttered. Adrian smiled shamelessly. - But I am. “Thank heavens for that. I looked at him. Then smile. “The best thing our parents did was give me a brother. Before he could answer anything, the wedding march started playing, and my girl came on the scene. My breath caught, and once again I was reminded of what a lucky bastard I was that this wonderful woman wanted to marry me. She had a charming smile on her face, and walked down the aisle with both parents, one on each arm. One thing that could only come from Jennifer Kingsley Harrison. It only made me love her more. When she reached me, she bit her bottom lip and gave me a smile that was as beautiful as it was intimate. That smile was just for me. - Hey. she whispered as she threaded her fingers through mine. “You're a cat. “You're not bad either. I whispered back, a smile

    - Are you going to marry. Adrian's voice was stunned. As if he didn't know beforehand, or as if he'd just heard about it. I raised my eyebrows. “That's why we're here, and I'm in a wedding dress. — Shit. You are indeed getting married. he repeated. I frowned and was about to ask if he still had a hangover, but then he spoke again. “You should remain a spinster full of cats. “I hate cats, Adrian. I laughed at him. - Even so. Who's stupid enough to marry you? - His brother. Stop playing the repressed bitch at my marriage. “I'm not being repressed. Adrian smiled at me and then hugged me. - You look beautiful. My brother won't know what hit him. But I admit I'm a little jealous that you're getting married and I'm not. “Maybe you can drag Dylan to a little chapel here in Vegas. Has he rested from the trip? Dylan didn't come to Vegas with us, he had some errands to do before he left England, but he got on a plane a few hours later so he arrived just as Adrian and I were back from

    Pierre stared at me expectantly. I was teary-eyed and my words stuck in my throat. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't say no. Honestly, when I met Pierre I never imagined, not even in my wildest dreams, that he would be my husband. And here he was now, waiting for an answer that was sure to be clear on my face like the moon outside. - Yea. He let out an audible sigh. I laughed and brushed the tears away with the back of my hands, then he walked over to the little table, opened the box and knelt down. “Jennifer Kingsley Harrison, it's a great honor to make you my bride. Thank you for accepting to make my life a happier life. He put the ring on my finger, stood up and pulled me to him. We pressed our lips together and walked over to the bed. "Why don't you let me put that rack's lingerie over there?" I asked against his mouth as he kissed me. “We can skip that part. He slipped his hands behind my back and unbuttoned my bra. “And go straight to the end of the night. I smile

    “Wake up, sleepyhead. I heard a noise in the distance. — Hey. Wake up. I felt soft kisses on my back. "Are you really going to want to stay in bed with the day I've prepared for us?" Teeth started playing with my ear. Hands cupped my ass and then my breasts. Okay, now I was wide awake. — Hmm. “Finally, an answer. And then, the hands were gone. “You weren't supposed to stop. I grumbled. “I'd love to start the day with sex, but we're going to have a full day. Pierre laughed, a low, husky sound. "But what about postponing it to the end of the day and the beginning of the night?" If all goes well, I hope to be inside you before nine. I turned my head back and saw a small mischievous smile on his lips. "Pierre Lawrence, what are you up to?" - Stand up. he just replied. He kissed my forehead and got out of bed. I stretched out still under the sheets and decided to find out what he was doing. I took a quick shower and went to meet him on the bedroom balcony. The view

    “If I didn't want you all wet, we wouldn't have come here. Then he raised a naughty eyebrow. The next second I was in the icy water and felt it taking over my whole body. — Pierre Lawrence. I coughed and cursed him a thousand different things. The cretin just laughed. I splashed water on him, making him cough too. He did the same, instantly making me feel colder. This went on for some time, until the temperature of the water no longer mattered. “Shall we go swimming?” he suggested, and I nodded. He was pretty sure we looked like crazy people, swimming and playing in the water in the middle of the night like we were kids, but we didn't care. - Cum! — When he suddenly screamed, I swam to his side. - What happened? “Just a damn crab. he muttered, and I started to laugh. - It's not funny. He grumbled, sounding like a child. “Oh, yes it is. He took my hand, pulling me to him. - Come here. You are so beautiful. Normally, I would have shied away, especially since I was
