Rosa…As I'm looking over the files, Brigitta walks over to me, “Are you ready for lunch?” She asks.“I cant. I have to go to a meeting with Mr. Black. How about tomorrow?” She grinned at me but nodded and walked back to her desk.I was just done with the files when Ashton stood in front of me. “Rea
Rosa…Ashton told me to take the morning off to get ready for our flight. I was excited to go to Paris since it would be my first time in the city of love. I couldn't wait to go. I looked at the time and saw that it was past three in the afternoon. It was still a while before we were leaving.Luckil
Rosa…Ashton had woken me up when we landed and I was in awe when I saw the city lights. It looked beautiful. We went to the hotel and something tells me that he either owns the hotel or he comes here regularly since the people greeted him with a smile on their faces.I followed him to the elevator
Ashton…I watched as Rosa took her bag and went to the bathroom. I knew she was upset that we had to share a room and a bed. I didn't want to tell her when we had checked in. This was all Brigitta’s doing. I told her the other day to book two rooms but she had to book one. I don't know how I will co
Rosa… I feel someone shaking me lightly and when I opened my eyes, I looked into a pair of blue eyes. I sat up and looked around the room. Oh, yes, I was in Paris with Ashton. “I already ordered breakfast; you can come through to eat. We have a busy day today,” he told me but his eyes weren't look
Rosa… We got back to the hotel after lunch when Ashton told me to take a rest before the event tonight. “You are going to need all the rest you can get.” I wanted to tell him I know how these events work and how exhausting they can be but decided against it. I made my way to the bedroom and climbe
Rosa…I felt relieved when I saw Ashton standing next to me. Ashton wrapped his arms around me and gave me a kiss on my mouth, then he handed me my drink.“If you will excuse us,” Ashton says, glaring at the man.“I don't want you near that man again,” he says as we walk away.“You don't have to wor
Ashton…I wanted to kiss her back on the dance floor, but I knew I couldn't. I didn't want her to be labeled a gold digger or anything. I knew how the paparazzi can overreact. When I saw Zack talking to her, I wanted to rip his eyes out. I wanted to tell him that she was mine and that he should stay
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
