"Are you sure you made this trip safe for Lucas?" Shantelle asked, worried for their son to be out in public. "James booked the entire resort," Evan explained. "It's a private island with very little staff. I instructed the manager that all employees should wear masks. I had also asked that no one
"Sound's exciting, Daddy!" Lucas exclaimed. Soon, with everyone watching the drones, the show began. By batch, the drones flew up in the night sky. "Wow! It's so cool!" Lucas commented, his eyes sparkling at the lights, taking shapes. In the sky, the drones started forming boxes in different c
Lights danced in the night on the private island resort. Drones formed red hearts above Evan and Shantelle, making them the center of attention. While holding an engagement ring up to Shantelle, Evan was nervous. He said, "Marry me, Shanty." He appeared to be smiling, but deep inside, his heart wa
Another whiff of that expensive cheese, Shantelle heaved. She heaved and heaved, alarming Evan and Lucas. "Shanty, what's wrong," Evan asked. His brows repeatedly met, trying to soothe Shantelle. Shantelle, on the other hand, tried to hold it in. She covered her mouth and walked back. She made h

"Fuck. Lucas is back?" Lewis indignantly turned to Lily and asked, "Do you know about this?" "Is Lucas really back, Lily?" Lily's mother also asked in shock. All her brothers, except for Liam, asked the same thing. Lily helplessly looked at Liam, and seeing her brother wasn't going to spill eithe
"The aortic stent graft collapse," Doctor Steven reported to the Wright family. "That caused him to faint. So, earlier, we inserted another stent, and he is under observation." "I feel that there is a but coming," Lily's oldest brother, Liam, predicted. Behind him, all of Lily's brothers were givin
"Mommy, are you okay? You have been staring into spaces lately," Aiden asked. Lily was helping her son with his homework. While Aiden wrote his answers in the book, Lily was in a daze. "Sorry, Buddy. Was thinking of something," Lily said. "Are you done?" "Almost. I'm so glad your mission got canc
Liam had introduced Jake to Lily as one of their new contractors. Often, Jake traveled to other cities to make proposals, hoping to get another project for the company. That was why he was in Lockwood. "Lily, my job here will be extended for another week," Jake revealed. "But I'll see you after th
"You know what, Lucas? You are insane!" Lily yelled, pulling her arm away from him. She did it so forcefully that the necklace around Lucas' neck bounced to reveal that golden tag with her name carved on it. Instantly, Lily stilled. Her heart skipped a beat while her eyes were glued to the pendant
"He is an important person who needs protection. It will be your primary responsibility to oversee his security," the major loudly said to Lily while they were on a military helicopter, flying ten thousand feet above the ground. This was one of those odd assignments. When Lily arrived at the mil

“Lily? My favorite daughter in the world is back!” Lily’s mother, Scarlett, exclaimed. Lily could not help but roll her eyes at her mother’s remark. She responded, “Mom, you can’t have a favorite daughter. I am your only daughter!” Scarlett laughed. Lily’s father, Kaleb, who was sipping tea in th
Of course, what did she expect? He left her without saying anything. So now, he was practically denying their past relationship by pretending not to know her! The truth was, it stung a little. When he disappeared, Lily cried an ocean for him, yet this was how he treated her now? Then again, Lily s
