Kylie got up and came to sit next to me. She held me in her arms and said, “No one will touch you. I will fucking kill anyone who tries to hurt you.” “You know, sometimes I wonder if it wasn’t Kieran who hired someone but then again, why would he do it since he got his money?” I cried out. I knew K
Adrian… I was sitting in my office going through some paperwork when I received a phone call from Maureen. I immediately picked it up, knowing she wouldn’t call me if it wasn’t important. “Maureen?” I asked. “Adrian, there has been a break-in at home,” she said, sounding out of breath. “Where ar
Willow… Adrian went to talk to his in-laws while I cleared the table. He seemed off the entire time we had dinner. He didn’t talk much, and something tells me that something bad must have happened. Adrian approached me just as I finished washing the dishes. “Willow,’ he called my name. I turned ar
Willow… I was sitting in the coffee shop thinking about what happened these past few days since Adrian told me about the break-in. I was hurt that he had dug so deep into my past and now someone had all the information. I knew I did the right thing by ending things, even if it was just for a while.
Adrian wanted to hug me but I pushed him away. “No, don’t you dare come closer. I need to be alone. I need to think.” I stood up and walked out of the office, slamming the door behind me. I walked to my room, feeling everything I had felt these past few years. I thought I had forgotten about everyth
Willow… Kylie and I were still sitting in the cafe when a woman walked up to us. If I am not mistaken, I knew her as Adrian’s sister. “Hey Willow. We meet again,” she chuckles as she stands by the table. “Hi.” I greeted her back politely, wondering why she was here. I haven’t seen her in months so
Adrian… The scene unfolded in slow-motion; the car began to roll and came to a stop against something. It's probably a tree or a pole. I saw pieces of windshield flying everywhere, Willow being tossed around and pieces of glass hitting her. She didn’t move; her body went limp, and she slumped over.
Adrian… “They said I would find you here.” Harry looked over at the children and gave me a small, sympathetic smile. “How are you guys doing?” he asked softly. “I am trying to stay strong for the three of us. Where is Kylie?” “She is on her way. I was driving home from work when Kylie called me
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
