Willow… I was currently busy in the kitchen, singing along to the music. It felt like I was alive for the first time in forever. Nothing has changed since my date with Adrian. Although I am scared to be in a relationship, I knew I had to take a chance. I knew Adrian wasn't like Kieran, and he would
Adrian… We stood there as silence indulged us. I didn’t know what to expect if they found out that Willow was my girlfriend. I was upset that she said she was my nanny but I can’t blame her because I didn’t know how to tell them that I have a girlfriend in my life now. I didn’t want them to think I
Willow… I was in the kitchen preparing coffee as I thought about Adrian’s in-laws. The dinner party was a huge success a few days ago. Adrian’s in-laws have been visiting these past few days and though I like them, I think his mother-in-law doesn’t really like me. Although she didn’t say it out lou
I knew she was right but I didn’t want to cause problems between the family. They have been through a lot together and I would hate to be the one who caused them to drift apart. I glance at my time and smile at Maureen. “Look at the time. You are going to be late if you don’t hurry up.” She looked
Adrian… I couldn’t wait to get home to spend some time with my children and with Willow, even though my in-laws were still here. I was tired, as I had to work long hours to secure the deal. James and the rest of his board members were here every day, as we were close to sealing the deal. I knew I h
“Hey, Kylie.” I greeted her back. She only nodded in response and turned back to her friend. “Just a nanny, hey?” Willow shook her head and walked past her and Bella followed soon after. When we were alone, Kylie looked at me and said, “Look, she isn’t saying anything but I know the two of you are
Willow… I have never been out of the States. This would be my first time flying and I was nervous. I shouldn’t have watched Snakes on a Plane last night, especially since I am afraid of heights. I didn’t tell Adrian that part because I didn’t want him to think I was a baby. But nothing prepared me
I looked at the children, and they were watching some TV shows, not in the least interested in what we were talking about. Sometimes I wish I was a child without any care in the world. They also had drinks in their hands along with something to eat. I smiled as they only focused on the screen in fro
I chuckled, settling into a seat across from Bella. "She looks like Snow," she laughed, continuing to pet the kitten. "I can play better with you," I teased, giving her a playful wink. "And I have no say in whether we keep this cat?" I asked, running my fingers through my hair. "Ace, just look at th
"Hello Ace, care for one?" Smith greeted, raising his cigarette. I narrowed my eyes at him and approached, taking a seat in one of the two leather chairs facing his desk. Ignoring his offer, I retrieved a cigarette from my suit jacket pocket and lit it with my lighter, placing it between my lips.I
Ace…Bella's voice broke the silence, asking, "What are you doing?" I continued to focus on the sizzling bacon in the pan and the savory aroma filling the kitchen. "Please, have a seat," I replied, reaching for two plates to serve creamy scrambled eggs and toast. I set one plate in front of Bella, w
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
