Rosa… I can't believe today is our wedding day. I didn't get to see Ashtonb yesterday since our parents', or shall I say our mother's, told us we couldn't see each other the day before the wedding. I can't wait to see him again, to hold him and to become his wife. I had healed in these past few mon
“Ashton and Rosa, please face one another.” We did as the priest asked and the two of us were smiling at each other. “Ashton, repeat after me. Before God and these witnesses, I Ashton, take you, Rosa, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or f
Rosa…So much has happened for the last couple of months. We went on our honeymoon to the Maldives, Hawaii and the Bahamas for one month at each place. The day we got back, I found out I was pregnant. I was surprised and shocked that I was pregnant once again. After I was finished with the doctor's
Bella…“He is coming your way,” I hear one of my best men say through the earpiece I was wearing.This was the fun part of being on such a mission. I get to toy with my victims. I looked over to Clarence, who was playing bartender and nodded. He knew we couldn't afford to lose this bastard.I didn't
Bella…I woke up to my phone ringing nonstop. I groaned as I reached for it on the nightstand.Ryder! I am going to kill him!“This better be good or your dead,” I groaned as I picked up.The idiot just laughed, “Oh, sis, you are still not a morning person, I see.”I turn on my back and close my eye
Bella…I was still sitting in my office at the mansion. Ryder and Clarence were still out doing what they had to do while my other men were either training or out at the warehouse. I closed the laptop and put the files with the papers away when I got a message.It was from Rosa asking me if I wanted
Bella…I was having some coffee with Darana since Rosa was busy with Chequata today. She texted me to say she wouldn't be able to make it to our coffee date because my niece wasn't feeling well.“Did you hear anything from Brigitta yet?” Brigitta and Adam tied the knot a month ago, and just like my
Bella…One thing came to mind as I looked at the man with his emerald green eyes, breathtaking. His face was well crafted, he was muscular, and he had a neatly trimmed beard. His black hair was made into a man bun. Now normally that kind of hairstyle would put me off but somehow it suited him perfec
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
