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
Adrian… I hated to admit it but it felt like I was a horny teenager. The last time I felt this way was when I still had Ashley. I knew kissing Willow again was a mistake. I knew I was messing up big time by getting involved with her, but she somehow managed to break through the wall I had built for
Adrian… By the time I got home, everything was ready. I quickly went to take a shower before all the guests arrived. The entire house smelled of delicious food as I came back downstairs. “They are coming, Daddy!” Bella said as she looked out of the window. But when I looked, I saw no headlights d
Adrian… I opened the door with a smile on my face. Why was I smiling? I have no idea. Maybe it’s because I was going on a date with Willow. “Welcome, James,” I said, holding the door open as James stared at me until his wife nudged him. “Oh, yeah, um, Hello, Adrian. I must say, I am a bit shocked
Willow… After my talk with Kylie, I pushed the cover aside, sat up, and made my hair into a bun on top of my head. I had no idea where we were going; he only said that I should dress comfortably. I don't know what he meant by that, because his causality and mine are different. I sigh loudly and get
Willow… We arrived at a beautiful lake as Adrian brought the horse to a stop. He helped me get off and took my hand, leading me down the road. “It’s beautiful,” I whispered, looking at all the flowers that were in the field, making it look like a painting. “It is.” We were laying on a blanket tha
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
