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
Adrian…“Mr. Black?” she asked, shocked.I looked at her with a smirk on my face and said, “Good evening, Dr. Charlene or shall I say Jessica?”“How?” She asked, still in shock.“Easy. Now I have questions and you are going to answer each one of them if you know what is good for you.” I smirked as I
Adrian…“What now? Do you think she is telling the truth?” Harry asked as we got in the elevator.“I don't know. A part of me believes her but another part says not to trust her.” Especially after she had lied to all of us. She had caused my family so much pain and suffering.“Let's see if she shows
Adrian…We were currently on our way back to New York and I couldn’t wait to punish everyone who was involved. I knew I had promised Charlene that I wouldn't do anything to her but a part of me wanted her to go to jail for what she had done to my family.“How are you going to sneak me out of the air
Harry…Once Adrian had dropped me off, I made my way inside my apartment. As soon as I entered, I noticed the living room light on. I made my way over and saw Kylie sleeping on my couch. I wanted nothing more than to kill her right here but I knew it would be the easy way out for her at least. I ig
Thomas…I checked in on my men, making sure everyone was ready for what was about to go down. I had a team that was at Harry’s place, a team at Adrian along with me and a team at Black Industry, as well as Andrew’s and Mike’s hideout. I knew that we had to move fast before Andrew got news that all h
Adrian…I went to the back, where Maureen and the children were, along with one of the officers. “Daddy, what is going on?” Bella asked as she ran up to me. I picked her up and looked from her to Ashton and Maureen. “I promise I will explain everything tonight. I want you two to stay at home today.
Adrian…I arrived at my company when I spotted Thomas. He was alone. I didn’t want to draw unnecessary attention to what was about to happen. Sally told me that Noah was in his office.“How is Harry? Will he be alright?”“Yes, he is awake. He will probably ask the doctor to discharge him today,” I c
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
