Adrian... Once we dropped Ashley off at her apartment, I took my phone and called Sally. After a few rings, she finally answered, “Adrian?” She asked. “Are you busy now?” “No, I am working from home today. Why is everything alright?” “Um, yes. I am on my way over. I need to talk to you.” The soo
Ashley… As soon as I got to my apartment, the first thing I did was go get a hot shower. I was standing under the water, just thinking about everything that had happened the past few days. How can I not remember what happened to me? Why can't I remember who I really am? And the most important quest
Willow…I was sitting in the back yard when I heard Maureen’s voice sounding rather excited inside the house. I wonder what was going on to make her that happy. I looked over at the twins before I made my way inside the house to see what the composition was all about. Maureen was hugging a man and
Adrian…After my talk with my sister, I asked Sam to take me to Harry since Kylie was at her own apartment. I needed to finalize our plans for tomorrow. "Sam, I want you to come with me. Like I told you before, there are things you need to know.”“Yes, sir.” He parked in front of Harry’s house and o
Adrian…Harry and I just landed at Santorini Airport. I had a long day and a flight. All I wanted to do was hit the sacks. I had a talk with Ashley and Nora. I knew Nora was important to her since she was the only friend she knew. “Are you alright?” Harry asked, breaking my thoughts.I looked at hi
Ashley…Today was one of the worst days I have ever had. First, Nora and I had breakfast with Mr. Black or, shall I say, Adrian? He told Nora he did a background check on her and asked her a lot of questions about her past. When he was satisfied, he explained everything to her. She was taken aback w
Adrian…I woke up early because I couldn't sleep. I had been tossing and turning since I went to sleep this morning, thinking about how messed up my life was. I still couldn't believe that Ashley was alive. It all felt like a dream but every time I opened my eyes, I knew that it was real.“Are you r
Sally…I woke up in a bad mood, all thanks to my idiot brother. I swear, I would kill him if he were here right now. How the hell did he forget about the time difference? I looked at Lucas, who was already staring at me. ‘What's wrong, honey?” He asked.“My idiot brother, that is whats wrong,” I sai
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
