DAVE.
"I already informed you, Dave! I did everything I could. It's not my fucking fault she doesn't believe me!" Quinn snaps, pacing ahead of me, her hands snagged in her hair.
"She wasn't at the party. " I remind her, and she comes to a halt, glaring at me.
"I did, in fact, invite her. You can ask her if you don't believe me. I've done so many terrible things to her, Dave. You can't possibly expect her to reckon when I say I regret everything. " She chuckles and spreads her arms.
"Perhaps you are not making it plausible enough. " I shrug, pushing my body from the door and prowling towards her. "You should have never done everything you did, Quinn. She deserved none of those. " I shake my head and she sneers, folding her arms against her chest.
"Please! You're not a saint yourself. What you did was far worse than mine. You dumped her

VINCENT. My eyes move across the room filled with people who are more than eager to forget about their dreary lives and it effortlessly lands on the girl sitting at the bar side of the room. Striding towards her, I grab a seat next to her and she turns at the intermission; a smile on her face as her eyes meet my gaze. "You're here. " She says and I nod, my eyes moving to the glass she has in hand. "Why are you here? I thought you were gonna stay with Sinclair. " I question and she shrugs, taking a big gulp of her drink before setting the glass before her. "Sinclair isn't precisely in the right mood to see me, and I thought I would have some fun. I hope I'm not bothering you, though. " She raises her brows and I shake my head, signalling to the bartender. "Can I get a glass of what she's having?" I request and the odd-
VINCENT. Goddamn this woman! Goddamn her games and her ways of playing them. I tried. I tried to hold back sticking my cock in her wet, pulsing pussy, but there's only an amount a man can hold back when a pussy is literally jabbed to his face. Heather is drilling me. She knows exactly what she's doing. She knows what she wants and she's not holding back on it, so why the hell should I? "Vince," she calls, staring at me from under her lashes. Her eyes twinkle dazzlingly with an unusual gleam to them as she continues to taunt me. "Shut the fuck up, Heather. " I growl, snatching her hand from my cock and pushing her against the door. A low gasp slips through her parted lips as I brush my hips against hers, wrapping a hand around her throat and leaning forward. "You are truly making me do this. " I
ASHLEY. My eyes open to convening the beautiful sight before me. I can't help the smile on my face as I move further into his embrace; my eyes hauling along every inch of his face. Reaching out, I let my finger trail over his brows before dragging it down his nose and letting it hover over his lips. The urge to take them in mine spurts through me, but I hold back with a soft sigh. I still can't believe I'm here. Right in the arms of this man. His arms are draped around my waist in a possessive grip that leaves my heart fluttering and my body throbbing negligibly with warmth. I let my finger fall to the small cut on his cheek– one that was undoubtedly given by his asshole of a father. I have so many questions about him, but Sinclair doesn't want to speak about the man and I completely understand why, even when I'm dying to know the history behind the issue.
ASHLEY."You sure you don't want to come in? You could use the same lame excuse you used last time. " I tease Sinclair with a soft smile and he scowls at me before shaking his head, saying, "No, not really. I need to get back home and get my hands on some stuff. " He sighs and I nod, not moving."I'll see you soon. " Sin assures, his hand on my thighs scampering over the skin and I slump further into my seat. I can't find it in me to leave here, yet I know I have to."How soon though?" I mumble under my breath, staring at his hand on my lap; too embarrassed to meet the man's eyes.Sinclair lifts me from my seat, and moves me to his lap – the abrupt movement causing me to screech.He taps my chin with a finger before lifting it to meet his eyes, his other hand around my waist. The fierce gaze of his has me adjusting on his laps and Sinclair chuc
ASHLEY. My eyes are drawn to slits as I stare at the girl before me who's staring at me with beseeching eyes. A laugh falls from my mouth as I say, "What are you talking about? Get you back with Dave? What's that got to do with me?" Quinn jiggles her head stubbornly, saying, "It's got everything to do with you, Greene. Don't you get it, or you're just pretending not to?" She lifts her brows in questioning. "The fact that you're speaking out of line? Yeah, I don't get it. " I shrug and she sighs, slapping a hand against her forehead. She looks almost frustrated, knowing nothing to do. "Don't do this, Ashley. Please. " She whispers, stepping closer and I crease my brows saying, "Don't do what? I don't understand what you're talking about, Quinn. Do you want to get back to Dave? Fine, let him know. I don't see anything stopping you? You never needed
SINCLAIR. I had plans. Reasonable intends to spend the rest of the night in the arms of Little Greene yet here I am, on the way to a person, I'll rather not see because he fucking crossed a line. Again. Shutting the car door, I scowl as I stand before the mansion. I make my way towards the door and walk in without a word, ignoring the woman's greeting behind me. "Where's he?" I question Kelvin who stares at me with a stunned expression, obviously not expecting me to be here. Yes, I didn't expect to be here either. "Where's your fucking boss, Kelvin?" I growl. "That's no way to barge into my house, kid. " I snap my head to the voice's direction and truly, the mam is walking down the stairs dressed in his fúcking formal suit with yet another woman hanging in his arm. I march towards him and grab him by the collar
DAVE."What are you doing here?" My eyes are widened as I take in the figure before me. I didn't expect her to be here, and so late."You weren't responding to my texts and calls. Thought you'd at least talk to me if I see you. " She mumbles in a low tone and I shake my head, glancing over my shoulder to make sure my father is focused on the screen before him.Taking my gaze back to Quinn, I shut the door behind me and step out, crossing my arms against my chest, and saying, "You should know I didn't want to talk to you when I gave no response, Quinn. Can't you take a damn cue or something?" I snap and she shakes her head, biting down on her lips and staring at her shoes.Letting out a sigh, I say, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. My dad is around and you know how I get with him around. " I apologize and she lifts her head, a smile etched on her face.&nb
ASHLEY. My eyes are drawn to slits as mom's gaze moves to my legs and Sinclair remains still; staring at me with a stupefied expression and furrowed brows. "Ashley, what the... What the hell are you doing?" She raises her voice, the basket in her hand dropping before her in a loud thud, and I shut my eyes for a brief moment, fear streaming through me. God, this is bad! This is so fucking bad! This is not how I imagined my fucking morning to go! "Move. " I whisper to Sinclair, who hasn't moved, pushing at his shoulders and pulling the duvet over my body with my gaze on my leg; too scared to meet the woman's eyes. "This is what you've been doing? You had a guy in here? I knew something was suspicious when you wouldn't let me in here, but I never thought it was something like this! What is wrong with you, Ashley? Why will you..." She pauses, her eye
RALPH. "You're here. " I smile, moving from my seat to give Ashley a hug before she slides into the seat across from me, while I settle back on mine. "Hey, Ralph. How are you?" She smiles, removing her glasses and leaning forward. "I haven't heard from you in a while. A surprise you called. " "Yeah. We've all been busy, haven't we?" I say and she nods, keeping that gentle smile on her face. "Do you want to order anything before—" I start and she shakes her head. "No. I'm good. Are you?" "Sure, I am. " I respond and she hums, narrowing her eyes at me when I say no other word. "You wanted to meet?" "Yes. " I nod, linking my fingers and dropping them in front of me. "I want to talk to you about something important, and I don't know if you've heard it from Lucy or—" "What's it?" She asks and I take a breath before I continue, "You know she's pregnant, don't you?" Her eyes widen. "She is?" I push my head back. "You don't? I thought she'd tell you about that. " "No, she didn't.
Hey, Sweethearts! While wait for Lucy and Ralph's chapter that I'll be releasing this evening, which will be the last bonus chapter that'll close SIN entirely; I just want to let you know that Arabella's story is out!! I know some of you wanted to see her development, and now you have it. Her book is out, and it's titled CRAVE. You can go under my author's icon to see it or simply search for it.

DAVE. ✓THREE MONTHS AGO. ASHLEY'S WEDDING. ~ "Hey, I thought Ashley said you weren't in town. " I turn to see Lucy approaching me and I smile at her as she stands in front of me. "I wasn't, but I am now. " "Just for the wedding?" She teases and I laugh, "I couldn't afford to miss it now, could I?" "Definitely not. " She agrees and we both laugh before I open my arms and she gives me a tight hug before she pulls away. "It's nice to see you again, Dave. " "You too, Lucinda. You have..." I trail off, my eyes moving down her body before I meet her gaze again. "You're looking more beautiful. " "When have I ever not?" She replies cockily and I shake my head before I turn my head from her, taking a sip of the drink. "I'll talk to you later, yeah? I need to be on my way. " "See you later. " I say with a raise of the glass and she smiles before she starts to walk away. A sigh leaves my lips as I look around the room filled with people who are here to celebrate the big day of Sincl
VINCENT. My chest falls as I stride inside the house, and shut the door behind me. "And why do you have a frown on your face?" I flinch a bit at the sudden sound and relax when I look to my side to see Heather leaning against the wall with her hands crossed to her chest and a tiny smile on her face. Her blonde hair is pulled in a messy bun, and she's in one of those transparent lace with her bra and her lace panties peeking out from beneath. "Hey, angel. " I smile at her, and she strolls to my front, locking her hands around my neck while I use my free hand around her waist. She kisses the side of my face before she pulls back and whispers, "Hey. ""How long have you been waiting there?" I ask her, referring to her little hide and seek, and she says, "Since I heard the sound of your car. What's wrong? Why did you have a frown on?""Just a stressful day at work. Things didn't exactly go as we thought they would. " I tell her and she looks down at her other hand. She grabs my suitcas
ASHLEY. "Are you nervous?" Heather chuckles as she places a hand on my shoulder and I shake my head despite my trembling hands fisted in my gown. "You do look nervous, " she says playfully. "More happy than nervous?"Lillian turns to me this time with her six-year-old daughter placed on her hip. She's dressed in a simple gown that stays fitted to her body and brings out her perfect features. The woman is still looking as beautiful as ever. "I can remember your words from years ago, Ashley. You promised you'll be more happy than nervous when your big day comes. " I did say that. I said that because I wasn't the one dressed in a heavy gown with a groom waiting to finally lay the final claim on his bride. But now that I am, it'll be a lie to say I'm not nervous. I'm fucking nervous, but that also equals happiness. This is really happening: I'm getting married to that man. After years full of ups and downs, fights and amends, learning and understanding each other better – we're gettin
SIX YEARS AND A FEW MONTHS LATER. √WASHINGTON. DC. ASHLEY. "So you're back and the first person you thought to meet is your man?" Lucy's loud whining voice echoes through my ears, and a chuckle leaves my mouth as I move the phone away a bit before glueing it back to my ear. "I remember you doing the same thing months ago, backstabber. " I remind her of her playful betrayal as I walk inside the company. A company that's managed by Vincent, Sinclair along with one other friend of theirs. It's been three years since they graduated college, and decided to pursue the world of business and exchange side by side, and I'm so fucking proud of how far those men have come, and how fast they continue to grow. When Sinclair first told me about the idea, I was shocked because I wasn't expecting him to go along that line. I would have never imagined Sinclair to go with business despi
SINCLAIR. "What are you getting her?" I ask Vincent as he looks through the set of chocolates on the top rows. He looks back at me and furrows his brows, "Isn't that obvious?" "Just chocolates?" I raise my brows and he sighs, dropping the chocolate box with other things he bought before turning back to me. "Okay, what's it? Don't fucking tell me it's nothing because I know it's fucking something. You've been acting this way since we came in. " "I don't know, man, " I tell him and sigh when he narrows his eyes at me. "I just don't know what to get Little Greene. " "I told you not to call her that name around me. " He frowns and I chuckle. "You should have gotten used to it by now. She's the little one, isn't she?" He rolls his eyes and moves to the other end, and I follow behind him closely, my eyes moving across the set of gifts on the rows but nothing comes close
ASHLEY. A smile remains on my face as I stare at mine and Sinclair's last message. ME: I'm not sure I'll be able to make it. Lectures are hard on me these days. I'm so sorry, babe, you know how much I wish I could be there truly. SINCLAIR: I understand, Little Greene. My first wish was from you so that's alright. At the end of his message is a smiley face. Though I know he can put up with me not showing up on his day because of school, I also know he isn't okay like he claims to be. It's been two months since we last saw each other. Two months since we left Washington. Two months since that heartening night in the snow that's come to become one of my favourite moments with the man I love. Two months since I got an advance proposal from Sinclair Leovough, as weird as that sounds. "You honestly are a tease, " Lucy
