Willow… I groaned as I felt the sun shining on me. I open my eyes and let out another groan. Can’t I sleep for a few more minutes? Pulling the duvet over my head. I didn’t feel like standing up. I wanted to sleep the day away but sleep seemed to evade me. I hate it when this happens. The week had b
I went down the stairs and saw Adrian already waiting for me. “My driver, Sam, will take you wherever you need to be,” Adrian stated as soon as he saw me. “That won’t be necessary; I can drive myself.” Adrian had a frown on his face after I said, “You have a car? I thought you came here with a tax
Adrian… I stared at Willow, who was sitting on the couch, her eyes staring off into the distance as she played with Bella's hair. After her day off a few days ago, she was different. Not that I knew much about her, since I still hadn't read the report Harry gave me. I knew that there was something
Willow… My eyes fluttered open at the sound of my alarm the next morning. I had barely gotten enough sleep, which could explain why my eyes were still heavy and sleep-filled. The lack of proper sleep was probably due to the fact that Adria acted weird yesterday. I don’t know why he suddenly cares.
“You guys seem happy this morning,” I said, smiling at them. “Yup, Daddy is taking us out to space!” Bella jumped up and down, grinning. I couldn't figure out what she meant by that, so I turned to Adrian for assistance. With an amused grin on his face, he said, “I am taking them to the Intrepid S
Willow… Ah Sunday. Another day off, but since I didn't have anything else to do, I spent it watching movies with the children. I haven’t seen Adrian at all today. This was a good thing, because it would make my job much easier. Evening came by quickly, and I did not realize it until Maureen came to
"Um, let's see how we both feel tomorrow," I said, and he finally released my arm. I didn’t want to talk to him tonight. I knew it would just end up in another fight and honestly, I didn’t want to go to bed angry. Besides, he needed to spend time with his children and go to bed. Any fool could see t
Willow… The next morning, I woke up to the ring of my alarm. I quickly took a shower and got dressed, pulling my hair up in a messy bun. I went to wake Bella first. “Hey, princess, it’s time to get up,” I said softly. She sat up and gave me a toothy smile. “Good morning, Willow,” she mumbled. “Go
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
