Willow… I frowned at him but bit back on what I wanted to say to him. It wouldn’t help anyway. Instead, I took the children’s hands as I headed towards the door. Adrian followed, stood next to Bella and took her hands. It took us about thirty minutes to reach the place where we should have been. An
Willow… The closer we got, the more nervous I became. Adrian said that the people we were meeting were very important, especially in the business world, and I felt like I was going to mess up some way or another, not to mention Ashton. I don’t know how he is going to act once he hears the word girl
Willow… Adrian’s entire face softened as he looked at us. His lips quirked up into a soft smile as he continued to look at us. Suddenly, a child screamed, and all of us followed the sound. I saw that it was the same child who got the onion ring inside his milkshake. My eyes widen when I realize tha
Willow… If I had expected things to change between Adrian and me after that out-of-this-world kind of kiss, I was sorely mistaken. Oh, yeah, I didn’t tell you what happened after we were ready to kiss. Here, let me give you a recap of what happened. Flash back… I was starting to feel tired, and I
Willow… Keeping my back to him, I poured the boiling water into our mugs. How the hell did I forget what day it is? Wasn’t it supposed to be imprinted in my head? Did time really pass by this fast? It felt like it was only last month that my entire world came crushing down. I didn't watch what I wa
Adrian… I was waiting for Willow so I could take her to the graveyard, and I wonder who it was that passed away that made her so emotional. In the time she had been working for me, she was always happy—well, with the children around at least—and she would always give me an attitude, but today she s
Willow… I groaned as I blinked my eyes a few times. My eyes were dry, and I had a headache. I knew this feeling all too well. I cried myself to sleep many nights as my dark past haunted me. A frown made its way to my face as I tried to remember what day it was, and then it hit me. I remember going
Willow… "Look, I know you only did that because James and the rest of the men told you to, and I understand that, but you were the one who asked me to be your pretend girlfriend. Maybe I shouldn’t have kissed you back or I should have told you no, because honestly, this entire thing is causing tens
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
