Emily's POV"What did you do?" I shouted nervously, unable to believe Luke could be so stupid."I brought Chris's girl here," he repeated, taking a few steps back."You know my daughter is here, don't you?""She's harmless, Emily! She just needs help; Ethan will want to kill her when he finds out she didn't complete the job... You know...""Yeah, I know, and I know it's not my problem," I said angrily."Just for tonight, until I find a safe place for her," Luke insisted with this absurd idea."Why do you care so much about her?" I asked, confused."I've been in her place before, and I just wished someone would help me. It's my duty to do this.""Does it have anything to do with her looking like a model?" I asked suspiciously. "Did you sleep with her?" I raised my eyebrows, suspicious.He chuckled. "Okay, Luke, she can stay," I said, and his eyes lit up. "But only for one night.""Got it, boss," he laughed, smiling."Tomorrow is Olivia's birthday, I want to do something nice for her. S
Emily's POVI opened the door and froze at that moment."Tyler?" My voice came out shaky, and I lost my strength upon seeing him again after some time apart."Okay, folks, I think Aunt Debora is preparing something really tasty in the kitchen, who wants to go see?" Luke says, drawing the children's attention, except Julie.Peter and David get up and follow Luke, but Olivia remained seated, staring at Tyler."Come on, Olivia!" David turns to her and says affectionately.She smiles openly but shakes her head negatively.After everyone left, it was just me, Tyler, and Olivia in the living room.I put the bags on the floor and sighed, running my hand through my hair."Okay, Tyler, what's going on here?" I ask."Emily, not in front of her, please," he says calmly."Oh, so you don't want her to know about the bad things you do, is that it?""I don't want her to suffer because of my choices, she doesn't deserve it.""With the life you've chosen to lead, she'll have to know someday," I say wi
Pov Emily"Aunt Débora, Uncle Luke told me he thinks you're hot," Olivia says, leaving everyone in the room embarrassed."I'm never asking you for advice again!" Luke scolds her, laughing."What have you been talking to my daughter about?" Tyler asks, trying to contain his laughter."Now that you guys have sorted things out, I'll grab my stuff and take Peter to meet his grandmother and live my life.""Oh, Uncle... are you leaving already? But today is my birthday!" Olivia said, looking sad."I need to sort out my life, kiddo. Your family is already complete, mine is still forming," Luke says, looking at Débora.Wow, I foresee a wedding? I never imagined that a one-night stand would be enough for Luke to consider building a family."I'll give you the honeymoon as a gift," Tyler says excitedly, and we laugh."I'm not one for marriage," Débora says, with a serious expression on her face."I also think it's unnecessary; marriage is just a title, a ceremony," Luke adds."DAD, CAN WE COME L
-----Pov Emily "Did they fall asleep?" Tyler asks as soon as I enter the room and sit beside him. "Yes, they were super tired," I say, sighing. "You seem tired too, don't you?" Actually, no, I want to stay awake a little longer. He nods and hugs me. "It's a miracle Olivia slept alone in a different house. She was sleeping with you, right?" "She was... but now she's sleeping with David," I chuckle at his puzzled expression. "Relax, Tyler, they're just kids!" "I know the minds of boys," he says. "Oh, really? Boys of 6 years old?""Yes, and soon he'll be ten, then fifteen, then eighteen, and so on..." "Thank God, right!" "Oh, dear, you don't understand," he says, still sulking until he stops and stares at me. "I'm glad you forgave me." "Yeah..." "Yeah, what?" he asks. "I forgave you, but there's something... a surprise for you." "What do you mean, Emily?" "She should be arriving soon..." He lets go of me and looks at me startled, the most confused expression I've ev
Pov Emily"Or for having heard perfectly well," she said.She bent down to waist level and started to remove my stocking, making sure to press her fingers against my thighs. Once she did that, she stood up and positioned herself behind me, consequently putting both of us facing Tyler. Her hands touched the top of my neck and gradually dove down to my shoulders."Do you see, Mr. Mitchell? You have a treasure right in your hands... well, better said, tonight... we have a treasure right in our hands!""Emily, enough already," he insists on sticking to the idea."Oh, but we haven't even started yet," Diana exclaims.Now she turns me somewhat abruptly towards her and kisses me fiercely, feeling the clasp of my bra being undone.Quick hands.My breasts come into contact with her cold leather jacket.My body reacts quickly, and she smiles.She continued exploring everything she could in my mouth and suddenly, stops."No, no! You can only touch her when our little doll is ready for you," she
Ethan's POV"Good morning, my love!" I wake up Jade, who was already almost awake."Today's the day, right?" she asks, somewhat disheartened.I sigh. "Look, my love," I approach her and touch her face. "I can't ask you to come with me, but what I can say is that I would truly be happy if you were with me. If I stay, Tyler will kill me...""He wouldn't do that, Ethan, you know he wouldn't. He had several chances to kill you and didn't.""Emily?" I get up. "If not him, it will be others.""WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GET INTO THIS KIND OF BUSINESS TOO, HUH? YOU RUINED YOUR OWN LIFE.""Wow," Caitlin enters the room clapping. "I warned you, Ethan, she's the type of girl who always sides with the winning team.""Caitlin, I've put up with you for too long, but you don't have the right to interfere in my relationship with your brother," Jade says, addressing her. "Get out of the room.""I warned you, Ethan," Caitlin continues to insist."I TOLD YOU TO GET OUT.""Look here, you wannabe...""No, Caitl
Justin's POV"Justin," Sara, Ingrid's niece, comes running to hug me as soon as I walk through the door."No one can hold her back," Ingrid comments, smiling faintly, a somewhat sad smile."Sara, it seems like you've grown in a few days. Wow!" I joke, looking at her."I've been jumping around. Do you want to see the drawing I made?" she asks excitedly."Of course!""I'll get it for you," she says and heads towards the room."I told you not to come to say goodbye, Justin!" Ingrid says sharply."I didn't come.""So, does that mean you're not leaving anymore?" she asks ironically."It means I'm not going alone."She shakes her head."You walk into my damn life and make me like you, make me have hope, and then you just say you have to leave. Now you come here insinuating that you want me to go with you? Just to hear that I can't go and you can go on with your life without guilt?""No, Ingrid, it's not like that," I stand up and walk to her."Then what is it?""I want you to come with me,
Tyler's POV"I should kill you," Josh yelled, stressed out."Relax, Josh," I responded, lightly tapping his shoulder."Relax? Do you have any idea what it's like driving here with Anne yelling? I'm lucky to be alive.""No one told you to get her pregnant," I chuckled. "And what about Justin?""He's coming as soon as he sorts out a few things," he replied."A few things or Ingrid?""Give him some time, Tyler. You know he won't abandon you.""I'm just worried Ethan might try to do something to him, that's all," I said."You really love us!" Josh said, all emotional.I gave him a fake laugh and finished grabbing the last bags from the car trunk."Have you thought about how you'll manage life in a small town like this?" he asked, helping me."It's not that small, but I know we'll do fine," I said, emphasizing 'we.'"Why do we still chase after you?""Because we're your only family, Uncle!" Olivia appeared, speaking and smiling at the same time.The feeling of seeing her smile is so reassu
