It's been nearly two hours since Adrian left, and I can't control my tears. Why am I crying like this? Why can't I trust him? It was his mistake to pick Tonya over me again, not mine! As I think more and more, my anger keeps increasing. I decided if he what was going on between him and Tonya, then I
"Excuse me, where can I find this place?" The man asks, and I sigh once again. He holds a piece of paper, and I take it from him. Looking at the paper, I feel the man looking at me. "Don't move, don't shout!" I hear another voice. When I try to turn around, the person presses something on my face, a
Throb, Throb, Throb.That is my head. It's pounding hard. I tried to move, only to hear a throaty and almost scratchy grunt-like sound. It must have taken a full minute for me to realize that it came from me. I opened my eyes and squinted them; at least I could see; well, I will as soon as my vision
"And now you have me," I said."It wasn't supposed to be so soon, sweetheart; I wanted to give you time together, enjoy and wrapped up in your world of fake love, then I swoop in and crush your happiness into nothing," My heart sank as I listened to the crazy man in front of me."I am a very patient
Tonya! The woman I hate the most walks towards me with her red face like she wants to rip my head off. "You bitch!" She was about to slap me, but suddenly Andrew walked in and stopped her."Don't you dare touch her," he warns her. "You got what you wanted. Now leave us alone. You get it?" he asks, a
"Yes, Andrew. I'm fine," I say and look away from him. He runs his hand down my arm."I hope so," he says again. "Because a beautiful girl like you should not be upset over something or someone," He says. I look at him with furrowed eyebrows, "You should probably get ready, um- Adrian just arrived."
My headache never stopped due to how many times Tonya pulled at my hair, and once or twice, she slammed it against the wall. Or it could be that I haven't taken my medication for my tumor. I don't know what is causing me this splitting headache, but I know it feels like I'm dying.Andrew and Tonya s
"You know, it's been a good few days," She said, purposely not letting us know how long we had been here. "I actually want to talk," she said when we said nothing. Then she sighs, "Come on, where's the pleading? Aren't you going to try to talk to me?" I gritted my teeth in anger.Crazy.That is what
On our way home, we stopped at a shop brimming with vibrant candies, chocolate bars, and treats in various shapes and sizes. Chloe's eyes widened in delight; candy was undoubtedly her weakness. She peered through the glass, contemplating her choices. Bruce stood beside me, arms crossed, both of us o
Ace…My feet were resting on the desk shared by Bella and me, our office now organized and neat, though I knew it wouldn’t last long. I had spent the early hours sorting through paperwork and issuing directives. As I brought a cigarette to my lips, I inhaled the acrid smoke, watching it swirl and gr
I appreciated Chloe's charming nature; she had stunning dark brown hair and a mature demeanor, yet she could be quite mischievous. It became clear that she had inherited my personality traits. Whenever she threw a fit, it was incredibly amusing. Ace, however, did not share my amusement; he seemed to
Richard shook his head disapprovingly at Ryder, clearly unhappy with how easily he succumbed to Chloe's antics. As for me, I didn’t mind at all. Ryder was her uncle, and he could spoil her if he wished. The food arrived, and I took a sip of my wine. Laughter filled the air as everyone enjoyed themse
Bella…I urged the maids to hurry up with the dining room as we were busy setting it up. Only the finest cutlery and crystal glasses were to be utilized. The table was to be adorned with white tablecloths and red placemats. I moved gracefully around the room in a black dress that accentuated my figu
“You have created a family, my love.” I returned her smile, gently rubbing her shoulder as I looked down at the way she cradled her so effortlessly. She traced a finger through her dark hair. "She’s going to look like you," she said with a soft chuckle. "What have you decided?" I asked, feeling a se
The atmosphere was intense. "It's okay, Bella. I'm right here with you." I gave a reassuring smile while holding her hand. The fear coursed through me. Her contractions came in waves, accompanied by a mix of screams and whimpers. I could see the exhaustion etched on her face, but I believed in her s
She sat down on the lounger, gazing straight ahead, the sun's glare making it difficult to look up. I approached her and settled down beside her on the spacious lounger, using my arm to support her head, creating a makeshift pillow. "Ashton called me a whale the other day," she scoffed. "What a jerk
Ace… I secured my firearm back onto my belt after taking a man's life. He had it coming; he was undermining me and it was intolerable. "Clean it up," I commanded with a snap of my fingers. My team sprang into action, quickly removed the blood, the body, and any trace of what had happened here. As
