Ashley…Why was all of this happening to me? I was happy a few weeks ago, just being April, who lived a simple life. But now it feels like I am a new person. I am new to this world and it almost feels like I have been born.I don't know how long I had cried but after I had finally calmed down, Adria
Ashley…It’s been a few weeks since I went to Adrian’s house and I was now on my way home when Adrian grabbed my hand and said, “Can you please walk with me?”I looked to Nora, who was grinning like a fool, then I turned back to Adrian.“Okay.” He took my hand and let me walk down the sidewalk. We c
Ashley…It’s been three months since everything had happened and to be honest, I still haven't regained my memory. Three months since Adrian had kept to his words not to overwhelm me. I have been spending most of my time at his house, playing with the children. The other day, they took me horseback
Ashley…“Good morning, Bella!” Jason and Freddie sang as Isabella rolled her eyes.“How old are the two of you again?” She asked.“Old enough to know we aren't babies anymore, mamma.”Ashton and Bella giggled at their grandmother and uncles, making them stop their bickering.“Oh, here are my two bab
Ashley…I held on to Ashton until he had calmed down, then I took his face in my hands and caressed his cheeks. "Oh, buddy. I would do anything to regain my memory and I promise I will try harder. I know all of this is a bit too much for you and your sister but I do hope that one day I will remember
Ashley…We were back in the hotel room and the children went home with my parents. I asked Adrian if he could take me to the hotel. I had a headache and just wanted to lay down. I didn't know what to make of the flashback I had.“Ash?” I hear Adrian call my name.I turned around and looked at him.“
Ashley…I sat beside Adrian in his jet. We left early this morning after spending a relaxing week here in Italy. My parents and brothers asked us if we could stay with them instead of in a hotel room and I immediately agreed. I was scared to be alone with Adrian. I didn't trust myself around him, al
Adrian…“So you are telling me that she lost her memory because of a chip that was implanted in her brain?” What the fuck did Adrew do? Who was the one who did the implant?“Yes, Mr. Black, it appears that way. Now we could remove the chip with surgery and hopefully she will recover her memory.”I l
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
