Willow… I was sitting opposite Kylie at the restaurant where we agreed to meet. I told her everything that had happened yesterday. “You did what?” Kylie asked with wide eyes and a hanging jaw. I rolled my eyes at her and said, “You heard what I said.” “Yeah, and I thought I taught you enough to d
Willow… Adrian’s smile deepened as she threw more coal at his fiery ego. He flashes me a knowing look as he says, “Thank you,” to which I just roll my eyes. “Can I have a minute alone with Kylie?” I asked him desperately wanting to strangle my best friend for saying that. “Sure, I will be waiting
Willow… "Look, I know you are upset with me about Daisy, but trust me when I say this: There was nothing no one could have done for her. She was old, and most of her parts are more expensive than just getting a new car," he said as soon as we stopped in front of the dealership. I nodded my head an
Willow… The days that followed flew by. Bella insisted that I take them to school every day since she liked my car. Although Ashton didn’t say anything, I could tell he was loving the car as well. I had to do Bella’s hair every morning but in a different style because, as she said, she didn’t want
Willow… I walked back to the living room, where the kids were. Their conversation has now focused on who they think are the best boys or girls. “No, boys are better,” Ashton said. “No, I think girls are better,” Bella argued. "You'd say that because you're a girl."Boys are stronger, smarter, and
As we took a seat next to where the children were playing, I could feel his eyes on me. But every time I looked up, he looked away. “What?” I asked, amused. “Nothing.” “Then why are you staring at me?” “I wasn’t staring at you,” he said defensively. "You can take a picture; it lasts longer, and
Willow… “Daddy, I want you to push me on the swing,” Bella called from afar, where the other kids were still playing hide and seek. Adrian smiled at her and stood up before jokingly over to where the kids were. Adrian helped Bella with the swing, and Ashton soon followed on the other one. When the
Willow… I tried not to get scared as I looked at the dress bag hanging from the wardrobe. Since I accepted to be Adrian's pretend girlfriend, I haven't seen him. He had made himself scarce, and I had avoided him. I think he was giving me some room. I was aware that I most likely seemed to be a trap
Halfway through, fatigue washed over me, and I rested my head on his chest. My heartbeat began to synchronize with his. "Were you upset?" I murmured. "About what?" he asked softly, his breath gently stirring my hair. "The doctor didn’t reveal the baby's gender because I had a word with him." I smile
After tidying myself up, Ace stepped out of the room. I turned to the doctor and said, "If he offers you money to find out, I'll pay you double. If he threatens you, I'll make sure you regret it. Understood?" I smiled, feeling a rush of satisfaction. He nodded, his expression a mix of confusion and
Bruce and Daniel were settled into the back seat. I suppressed a sigh as I scratched my head, feeling frustrated with one of the guards. That is why I took these two idiots with us instead. I missed having Val around. Just then, I saw Ace exit the house and approach me. He looked absolutely irresist
Bella…I called out, "Ace!" from the bottom of the stairs, feeling a mix of frustration and impatience. Where could he be? I placed my hands on my hips, waiting for a response. After a moment, my patience wore thin, and I decided to head upstairs. Nearly five months had gone by, and honestly, naviga
We had our plan set in motion. All our men were hiding away, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Ace had me bound on a bed and he sat on a chair being bound. We had Bonnie in another room, gagged and strapped to a bed.We were patiently waiting when the door opened, revealing Walton. His eyes
Bella…I stood behind Ryder as he talked to the bitch. “Why did you betray me like this? I loved you with all of my heart. I would have given you the world but you decided to play with me in order to get to Bella and Ace.” I could hear the pain in his voice. I looked over at Greta, who had a stupid
“You know I can do the other hand as well. I have all day long.” He proceeded to the next hand and when he was done with the second fingernail, she finally gave in, “Alright, stop. Please stop. I will tell you.” She begged. She was sobbing by now and I don’t blame her. That must hurt like a bitch bu
Bella…“Where is Ace?!" I asked when I went back upstairs. Ryder has left to god knows where and he wasn't answering his phone. I was fucking worried about him. “He isn't home yet.” Clarence replied. I grab my phone and immediately call Ace. He picked up after a few rings, “Ace, where are you?” I as
I looked at Clarence and nodded towards her, “Cut off her ring finger.” I ordered. I won't do much damage. I want her to tell me the fucking truth. I need a plan to lure Walton here and the only way I would do that was by getting her to talk. Clarence walked to her side took the knife and cut off he
