Rosa…The next few days went by fast and Ashton was still cold towards me. I came in early today and made everyone coffee. I took Ashton’s coffee to his office and sat it down in front of him.“Thank you,” he said softly.“Pleasure.” I walk back to our office and think about him. He was still cold t
Ashton…I paced the livingroom up and down, wondering if I should call her. I needed to apologize to her for my behavior. I wanted to slap myself this morning when I snapped at her. I could tell she was on the verge of tears and it was all my fault. “Fuck, what have I done!” I groaned.“Son, what i
Ashton…I close my eyes and smile. “Her name is Rosa Ettore. Mom, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. She has bright red hair. Her eyes look like exquisite, priceless emeralds. She is hardworking, and the way she laughs will brighten anyone's day. I love the little thing she do
Ashton…I stopped outside of her apartment and noticed her lights were still on. Good she isn't sleeping.I went up and knocked on her door a few times when I heard footsteps but no one opened and I tried to look through the peephole. “Ashton, what the hell are you doing here?” Rosa asked through th

Brigitta…I couldn't fall asleep after Rosa called me. I knew she was doubting herself and needed advice. My fuck buddy was here with me. Adam was rubbing my legs as I texted Rosa. “Wh are you texting at this hour?” he asked, placing a kiss on my shoulder.“Rosa,” I sent her another text. I wonder i
Rosa…I was waiting on her reply. I have already sent her my reply back but she hasn't read it. I wonder what she is doing that keeps her from texting me back.“Dick makes everything better?” I hear Ashley’s voice. I look up and see him standing next to me, reading my text. Oh, fuck. This is just gr
Rosa…“It feels kind of weird hearing all these compliments from you. Armando never complimented me, no matter what I have done. He didn't like kissing or cuddling. He fucked and went off to fuck knows where.” I shook my head, trying to forget everything he did to me if he came home after a night ou
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
