Please I want to know your thoughts about the book so far. Thank you for sticking with me.
Myles' POV I went to the address Carol gave me to search for Grace. It was a small neighborhood in town. According to Carol, she was the last person to see my mom before she disappeared, and I could not help but wonder what kind of relationship they had. I knocked on the door of the house, and the door opened to reveal a young dark boy, about six years of age, staring at me cautiously, as if trying to figure out if I had come to hurt him or not. "Who are you?" He asked, his eyes wide with curiosity. I truly didn't feel like entertaining any child now, but what choice do I have? "Do you know any Grace?" I asked, making my voice as soft as possible. He shook his head. "There is no grace here." I nodded. "Sure. No Grace. Who is home?" When I saw that he was still staring at me with those big judgemental eyes, I had to try to appease him. "I promise, I am a friend." "I don't know you. You are a stranger. Mama said not to talk to strangers." Great. At least he has a mother
Bonnie's POVMy fashion house was taking shape, and I was thrilled with it's remarkable progress. While I had leveraged on my new connections to anticipate a strong start, the reality exceeded my wildest dream. And the icing on the cake, a visit from Victoria Queens, the fashion icon herself. Anyone who was a bit close to me knew that I had always adored her. She said she had seen some of my work, and she was a fan.Some girls from the fashion academy abandoned it, and decided to join me here, Myra included.This particular day, I met someone I did not expect to ever see again. Someone that hurt me in a way that I would never forget. And he dared to show his face here.One of the girls led him to me, when I was busy crafting out a very complicated style for a client. This was definitely not the time for me to entertain such a person."Hey, baby." The foolish guy dared to talk to me."Kelvin!"Even the sound of his name coming out of my mouth was irritating to me. This idiot scammed me
Bonnie's POV Myles took me to see his newly found family today, and they were all so happy to meet me. Grace was a sweetheart. She had two sons and a daughter, and they all had children of their own, and they were all home. Myles usually did not like noisy environments, but he did not complain even though the children were practically trying to bring down the roof with their noise, the one he introduced as Jason in particular. He was just happy to be with them. And I really hoped that this new happiness surpasses his need for revenge. I fell asleep when we got back home late in the evening, and I woke up in the middle of the night when I heard the door opening and closing. I sat up, and my eyes narrowed when I saw Myles walk in, dressed in a black trousers and a black hoodie, instead of his night wear. He was holding some stacks of paper in his hands. "Did you go somewhere?" I asked suspiciously, and he nodded. "I paid that guy, kelvin, a visit." Oh boy! I had told him about the w
Bonnie's POVI watched with racing heart as Myles backed away, his expression not revealing anything. My head was already coming up with different scenarios, and I hoped to be wrong in most of them."Myles?" I called softly, and he drew in a deep breath, closing his eyes. "You haven't said anything.""I know, I..." He placed both hands on his face and let out another sigh."You don't want it?" I asked again, trying to keep my voice steady."Fuck, Bonnie, I'm sorry." He moved closer, while I still stared at him in curiosity, trying to figure out what he had in mind."You are sorry for what? Acting this way or not wanting the baby?" My voice came out way sharper than I intended. I didn't want to come to any conclusions yet, but it was hard. He didn't look happy to hear the news."I don't think I can do a baby right now."I moved away from the counter, my eyes filled with disbelief as I looked at him. "I don't understand. Make me understand.""Bonnie...""Don't Bonnie me. What do you mea
Myles' POVI hated myself for disappointing Bonnie, but I truly did not know how to act or accept the news. I know that I was doing my best to be a good partner for her, but this was a whole different case, and it scared the shit out of me. I was to be responsible for a whole human being, and I was not sure that I would be a good father. I didn't want to bring any child into this world, and make them regret having me as a dad. I spent my childhood without parents, so it was not a really good experience.Bonnie said that I was selfish, and even though it stung like hell coming from her, I did not blame her at all. Why did I not fucking think of it before now? I was so carried away that I didn't even ask if she would like to have kids. A lot of people want kids in their marriage, and that was a very important question, but I was too carried away like some teenager in love for the first time. I know that I was really in love for the first time, but that was no excuse.After Bonnie locked
Myles' POVI drove to the location in full speed, jumping out of my car as soon as I got there, my gun carefully tucked in. It was a house, a luxurious looking bungalow with very tight security system, but that was the good thing about working with Carson. Part of what made him so good with his work was his computer and hacking skills. He had disabled everything, and I slipped in as easily as I was entering my own house.My heart was beating with the possibility of finding Anthony, and rage boiled through me. I had gotten this lead, and I was not letting it go, not until I got what I wanted. Thinking about Bonnie, where she might be, what she would be doing now only fueled by anger, and I wanted to burn things down.Maybe because he relied too much on his security system, he didn't bother to have security men around. Tyler Warren, thirty two years old, tall, good looking, rich with no actual known source of his income, very close to Anthony, but their relationship was secret. Could th
Myles' POV I was on the road again. Tyler didn't tell me where Anthony was, and after a series of questioning and torture, I knew that he truly had no idea. But I did find out something more interesting. Tyler said he was Anthony's son, and he had been hiding all his life. He grew up in China, and came back here only a few years ago, but he had kept a low profile. Turns out Anthony was trying to get the company from Ethan and pass it to him. I should be surprised, but I wasn't. Nothing about that man surprises me. Since I could not get Anthony's direct location, I decided to use a more drastic means. I took pictures of the almost dying Tyler and forced him to send to his new father. Then I made him spill all of Anthony's secret businesses, a lot of them illegal. All I had to do was hand it over to the right source and all his assets would be frozen. Which I already did. Tyler was truly useful. Too bad I was going to get rid of him. I went back home, my heart sinking to my chest as t
Myles' POV Tears were rolling down Bonnie's cheeks when I went back to her, her body trembling. Emotions swirled in her lovely eyes as she saw me. Marks and palm prints marred her face and arms, an evident that she had struggled and was hit. I saw red, knowing that they dared to touch her. "I am sorry, I am sorry, I am so sorry." I murmured, as I untied her arms and legs. She fell forward, hugging me tight the moment she was free, fresh tears leaving her eyes. I wrapped my hands around her, peppering her face with kisses. My heart was still running so wild, my blood still cold. The thought that I almost lost her... Almost... Just a second, and it would had all been a different story. My Bonnie. "I... I thought I was going to die. I thought I would never see you again." She choked out, placing her forehead on mine. "I should have let you call me." I shook my head, wiping her tears. "It's not your fault. I was the asshole who provoked you to leave. And for that, I am really sorry."
