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
Willow… After three weeks, they finally released me. “Sign here and then you are all good to go.” The nurse at reception smiled as she handed me the form. Although I could walk on my own, I was still a bit clumsy, but the doctor said after a few more sessions of therapy, I could walk normally again
Adrian… Yesterday, Willow almost drowned herself. This made me have sleepless nights. I was tossing and turning the entire night, afraid that I would lose her. I was awake at midnight thinking about how I could help her. I didn’t want to lose her. The children asked me if they could go to Harry and
Adrian… I turned around in bed to wrap my arms around Willow but she was nowhere and I was grabbing at air. I dropped my arms down. I lifted my head up and tried to see; a few rays were streaming through the curtains. I bolted up when I saw the time. I had to go to the office. I ran down the stairs
Adrian… I told Harry to meet me at my office, where we could talk in private. I was agitated about who wanted to hurt Willow. I couldn’t think of anyone. I arrived at my office and told my secretary to cancel the appointments I had for today since I knew this was more important. I sat behind my des
Adrian… The sunlight woke me up as it shined brightly through the curtains. I let out a groan and massaged the back of my neck. “I am getting too damn old for this,” I muttered, straightening up and letting out a weary sigh. “I was about to say the same thing.” I hear Maureen’s voice; she had a du
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
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
