RIVER LAVERNEI was trying to leave the club discreetly, but then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see Caleb looking at me with those intense eyes. "Hey, where are you going?" he asked."I'm leaving," I replied, trying to hide my embarrassment.Caleb stepped closer, blocking my way. "Can we talk for a minute?"I sighed and nodded, knowing that there was no way I could escape him. We walked outside to the cool night air, and Caleb put his hands on my shoulders."Look, I know what just happened between us was unexpected, but I don't regret it," he said, looking at me intensely. "I think there's something between us, River. Something real."I shook my head, trying to clear my mind. "You don't understand, Caleb. I'm not over my ex-boyfriend. I shouldn't have even been here tonight."Caleb's expression softened, and he took a step back. "I'm sorry, I didn't know. But please, let me make it up to you. Let me take you out on a date. Just one date, and if you're still not inte

Raini LaverneThe time with Zavier in this mansion far away from the distraction of the outside world had been magical. I had always had an unusual flare for people who abandon civilization and decides to leave In the woods with polar bears and crazy wide animals.But the time I have spent with Zavier has been nothing short of magical.But sometimes I worry, I am getting way ahead of myself. Sometimes I worry, he doesn't even see me that way, yes we had shared intimate moments and yes those moments had brought us closer but, he had not done anything.I am a fucking overthinker, when we were headed down here I thought I would be faced with the problem of trying resist him and asking him to take things slow.Don't fucking judge me, who else doesn't thonks the reason a guy will drag you out of town to the middle of fucking no where if not to fuck you.I don't want to fuck him though, I truly don't.

Zavier Cross Fuck!Fuck!!Fuck!!!I can't believe I just did that. I almost kissed her. I can't help but feel this intense desire for her, but I know I need to hold back. She deserves more than a fling, more than just a physical attraction. I want something real with her, something meaningful. I need to control myself and not let my desires get the best of me.But damn, she's so gorgeous. Every time she's around me, it takes everything in me to resist her. Her curves, her eyes, her lips, they all call out to me, begging me to touch her. But I know I can't give in, not yet.I need to be patient, take my time and let our connection grow. She's worth it, and I know that deep down she feels the same. I can see the way she looks at me, the way her body reacts when I'm near her. But I need to be strong and resist, for both of our sakes.I just hope she understands why I'm holding back. I don't want to hurt her or lead her on, I want to give her everything she deserves. And if that means wai

RAINI LAVERNE The trip with Zavier was cut short for whatsoever reason but, I loved every moment of it, I loved that we ended the trip on a good note and I am so grateful of all the moment I spent with Zavier. I was still a bit sexually frustrated, as my body ached for him, it yearned for his touch, but at this point, I am done even trying. I would have wanted him to make advance on me so I could turn him down. Show him how it feels, I know I will still get fucI burst into Karla's room, practically bouncing with excitement. "Karla, you won't believe it! Zavier and I just got back from the most amazing trip!" I exclaimed.Karla grinned at me. "Tell me all about it, Raini.""Well, first off, we went ziplining through the jungle canopy! It was incredible! I felt like a superhero soaring through the air."Karla laughed. "That sounds amazing! Did you scream?"I rolled my eyes. "Of course I did! But Zavier was so calm and collected, like he was born to fly through the air."Karla nodded

RIVER LAVERNEAs I sit at home, trying to relax after a long day at work, my mind keeps wandering to the upcoming dinner with Raini, Zavier, and Caleb. I know Raini means well, but I can't help but feel a bit nervous about introducing Caleb to the family so soon.I like him, I really do, but it's only been a few weeks since we started seeing each other, and I don't want to come across as too serious. I don't want Caleb to think that I'm some desperate chick who's trying to lock him down.But then again, Raini is not one to take no for an answer. She's been pushing me to introduce Caleb to the family since the day I told her about him. And I know that if I don't do it, she'll just keep nagging me about it.Maybe I can just play it cool and not make a big deal out of it. I'll just tell Caleb that it's a casual dinner with my sister and her boyfriend, and we'll just see how it goes.But what if it goes well? What if Caleb gets along with the family and Raini starts planning our wedding i

ZAVIER CROSS A lot of things were on my mind right now and I needed to let some go.I was sitting in my office, going over some reports when Damon walked in. He asked me about my trip with Raini and I told him it was challenging. I couldn't help but think about how she looked in that red dress, and how badly I wanted to touch her. But I knew I had to keep myself in check."It was tough," I said. "I tried my best not to give in to my desires, but it was a constant battle."Damon chuckled. "You're a strong man, Zavier. I don't know if I could have resisted her.""It wasn't just about resisting her," I replied. "We also had to deal with a rogue wolf who was causing trouble in the area. I had to keep that secret from her, which was another challenge."Damon raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean, keep it a secret?""I mean, I couldn't tell her about the rogue wolf. I didn't want to worry her or put her in danger. But at the same time, I had to make sure she didn't stumble upon any evidence

Giselle POV Fucking incompetent fools I work here with, so unreliable.I was sitting in my office, staring at my computer screen, when my secretary Anita walked in. As soon as she started talking, I knew it was going to be one of those days."What is it?" I snapped, barely looking up from my screen."I just wanted to remind you about the meeting you have scheduled for this afternoon," she said, trying her best to sound cheerful."What meeting?" I barked, my frustration mounting. "I haven't received any invitation for a meeting."Anita's face fell. "I sent you an email about it yesterday. I thought you had seen it.""I don't have time to check every single email that comes into my inbox!" I shouted, standing up from my desk. "You should have made sure I received an invitation! This is unacceptable! If this ever happens again, I'll make sure you're out of a job."Anita looked like she was about to cry. "I'm so sorry, Giselle. I didn't mean to cause any problems.""Well, you did," I sna

RAINI LAVERNE This dinner was going to be epic and I damn well make sure about that. As I picked up the phone and saw Trinity's name, I knew something was up. She was always the first to cancel plans, but I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed that she wouldn't be joining us for dinner."Hey Trinity, what's going on?" I asked, trying to sound upbeat."I'm sorry Raini, I'm feeling a bit under the weather and I don't want to risk getting you or anyone else sick," she replied."Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. You take care of yourself, okay?" I said, feeling sympathetic."Yeah, I will. Sorry to cancel on you guys again," she apologized."It's okay, don't worry about it. We'll catch up soon," I reassured her.After hanging up the phone, I started to feel a little anxious about cooking for everyone. I wanted to make something special for River and Caleb, but now that Trinity wasn't coming, I felt like there was even more pressure on me.But I took a deep breath and reminded myself

RAINIZavier looked at me for a minute, and it was as though he didn't believe what I just said about killing Trinity.For some reason I couldn't get over the fact that the dandelion mystery was back, in a way that looked most frustrating. Zavier had found the dandelion and came back with it, I could tell that the same person had been after me all this while.All concerns that it had been Giselle were far off from my memory since she had faced the same fate when she was found murdered in her home.Keeping all fingers crossed we had to wait just as he had said there was nothing we could do, then wait out all of this till it was over.All this would have been possible if I didn't get the anonymous call.I turned to look at Zavier who was sleeping and walked away to the bathroom to pick, perhaps I could tell what he was going to say if he listened or I wasn't sure if I could trust him enough just yet ."Hello?" I asked, filled with uncertainty."Hello." River voice came back trembling.I

ZAVIERWe spoke to the detective for more than twenty minutes giving him everything that was needed to find River, for me it wasike going through this ordeals again, the first time had been when I had to deal with Raini getting kidnapped and this was the second.Like the detective had told Bianca and myself there was definitely an insider there was no sign of anyone breaking into her apartment.Raini was obviously tired and perhaps hitting her second trimester was starting to weigh in on her as she was asleep as we walked down the hallway to her room.She was right there still asleep in her bed. I walked into her bedroom and sat in a chair close to the window near the bed.With the whole feeling complicated Iclosed my eyes and just took a moment formyself, taking in much breath as much as I could whole reflecting back on the entire situation.I haven’t had too many of these moments in the last few days, moments where I had to reflect on everything that was happening, the truth was

IRENEIt was still hard to take in and at the moment, my mind was racing at the moment.It was clearly on the wall, I couldn't miss it, not after how long I had stayed there with them. At that moment my mind was In a total mess.I stood right there with my head against his shoulder crying, perhaps if I had come in here a bit quicker I would have been able to save my sister.What I couldn't understand was why they had taken her."What did River say when she called?" He asked.I sniffed.With a shaky breath, I began to tell him about how she had called and why she had left in the first place.I explained why I didn't call him before leaving and everything from how I had felt angry when I got here and found nothing but the house in total mess.There was a lot to talk about and he listened to every bit of it. All I wanted to do was get rid of everything in my chest and get everything out in the open. I didn't hold anything back from him as I felt weak …Too weak." Why did they take her?"

IRENEI drove out of the car park as quickly as I could all that filled my mind while driving past the oak trees that surrounded the thick wood shrouding Zavier's home was the safety for my sister, the thought was heavy on my mind as the more I thought about it, the harder it was for me to comprehend.At the back of my mind was the question asking why she had spoken in such a haste, there was a sound of silence before ending the call and despite trying to get her it was certainly difficult to.I thought about calling Zavier but opted against it in my mind as I continued with my trip…The speed I was driving at was so much that it took the thought of the twins I was carrying to make us reduce the speed.As I drove out of the gates and as I did,II spent the next few hours trying to purge Zavier out of my mind, so I replaced it with other thoughts.Or at least my thought was replaced by the thought of my sister River.I purposely looked at my phone again,keeping her call on redial w

ZAVIER.“Stupid move today, man.” Bianca said to me as she sat on my office couch while looking at my face.She was looking at me,in a manner that seemed so complicated."Where did you say she went to again?" I asked since she was the only one that had been with her all this while.I flicked a glance toward her since she had been the only one with her when she had gone out.We were having a good conversation about how my time with Raini had gone.I rubbed a hand across my smile. “I just assumed that she would want to talk to me after what she did."“You assumed wrong,” she said dryly. “She is a woman, she doesn't care about all of this.""You all are complicated." I said, rolling my eyes.Bianca looked at me laughing "With all the shit you’ve done, and the fact that you lied it would be hard for her to trust you again."I sank a little further into the couch.“Everything I do is premeditated. I think about it —You don't expect that I will not tell her about all of this" I said look

RAINITwo quiet knocks sounded on the door, and I walked toward the door to get it opened.From the conversation I had with Bianca it was obvious I had to talk with him. I had been thinking about going to his room but didn't really have the confidence just before the knock came in.When I saw it was Zavier standing on the other side, I stood straighter at the doorway looking into his eyes.With his hair combed back, in a casual shirt and Jean, his countenance appeared welcoming and breathtaking at the same time.His eyes held my stare as I looked at him, in a way it looked as though it was filledwith cold resonance—perhaps he was still angry about what I had said earlier."Are you busy?" He asked."Yeah, not doing anything now." .Every synapses in my body raced as I stood back and watched him as he walked in.My eyes widened on him. As he walked Into the room making way to the window,he stood right there and looked out of the window.Shutting the door, I sighed deeply as I walke

RAINIBianca wasn't the first to warn me about the woman and now that it made two people tell me, it felt like the universe was screaming out something and I would be a fool not to listen.Trinity made her way back. There was an exchange between the two women as it looked as though she had heard something that was being saidIt looked not too certain that she must have heard her as if in a kind of distance."I have to leave, there is something I have to do."I merely nodded my head as I thought it was better she did before any altercations started up.I never expected that they would get along, Trinity never got along with anyone except me and I guessed it had something to do with me seeing the best in people.I walked with her to the door and after closing it behind her, I turned and smirked at Bianca."What?" She shrugged. "I am just telling you the truth. " You should really look into that girl."I sighed and fell back in my seat. I’d been excited about having her over but it look

RAINI-Everything was building up inside of me and I didn’t know the best way to make myself feel better than to cry.I felt so disappointed in myself for not being as strong as I thought I should be but there was nothing I could do.I wanted the best for my children and the fear that something might happen to them made me lose faith IN myself.I started sobbing, sitting up on the bed because the tears were not just coming, I felt Indulged and very weak to have to break down because of something like this.This wasn’t minor, this was my unborn kids and I was already failing as a mother and even before they were born.Just then I heard a knock on the door interrupting me and I immediately wiped off my tears.I wondered if my tears woke up someone but I didn’t think I was sobbing that loud.“It’s me bianca, I know you’re awake, Raini opens the door.” She said gently from the other side of the door.I stood up and walked over to the door and opened the door for her and she walked in.“Co

RAINI“Is there anything you can do to help me make sure they will be safe?” I asked in a shaky voice.My babies, how could they be in danger when they aren’t even in the world yet?“There is nothing. After using the drugs I think it should all go well but I can’t say.” The doctor said picking up her documents and ready to leave the ward.My heart shattered, I didn't know how I was supposed to react to something like this and why things have to get this complicated for me.I was managing to do everything and being my best for my unborn children but everything seemed to be fine till Zavier came back into our lives.“Are you sure there’s no expensive treatment we can use to make sure they would be safe? You can’t just put us on hold.” Zavier finally said walking ahead to the doctor:I didn’t know how I was supposed to feel about all of this but I knew for certain that any money from now I was going to flare out.“No, at this point after getting the drugs, there is nothing that we can do
