just another roomie How to get her back
Chapter 2 (Will's POV)It was just another day. Nothing special about it really.My mother was bugging me about my impending doom.Otherwise called, my wedding.I and Jasmine used to be best friends once upon a time.But then our parents decided to throw us into an arranged marriage and what shocked me, even more, was Jasmine's willingness to go with their plan.Later on, I realized she had more than friendly feelings for me.But unfortunately for her, I only ever saw her as my best friend and nothing more.I never loved any woman.Sure I had an occasional one-night stand but that was it.I never dated or loved a woman.Until Ana.She broke down all my defenses and walls.And soon after we met for the first time, I fell in love.I fell hard and fast and didn't mind it one bit.She was the woman of my dreams.But as I was gathering my courage to tell her about my arranged marriage, Jasmine dearest decided to show up and fuck with my life.She even admitted everything to me with a smile

Chapter 3 (Ana's POV)Is it normal to be nervous before meeting your investors?Well I know it's normal but I don't know how to describe this feeling.It was nervousness from meeting with them of course but something else was lurking in the depths of my mind as well.I couldn't put my finger on it but it felt like some kind of dread was running through my veins.And I have no idea why I should be dreading this meeting.Well never mind.It was time for me to get ready.My style for today was some but in a way, it was completely me.I chose a white blouse with flowers printed all over it and paired it with my favorite pair of jeans that made my ass look rounder than it really was.And I honestly loved it.Now the only thing left to do was wait for girls to pick me up.Once again they were too enthusiastic to be on time. They came half an hour too early but who was I to judge since my own excitement was over the top?I wanted to see the person that was willing to spend so much money on m

Chapter 4 ( Will's POV)Could I complain about one thing? It was New Year's Eve and I was sitting in the emergency room with a bloody and swollen nose.Hopefully, it wasn't broken.But on the other hand, I didn't have much to complain about.I know I confused you right now.But you see the person that took me to the hospital was no other than Ana.And right now she was sitting next to me and holding my hand like we actually were still together.So in a way, it was not good to be in the hospital on New years eve but as long as she was with me I wouldn't complain at all.And to top it off, we were in the hospital for almost 9 hours already since it was a pretty busy day for the staff.But like I said. I didn't really mind it.As I looked at the clock I realized, midnight was slowly crawling closer."I can't believe Vicky would do that. Sure we didn't end things on the best note, but still, you deserve much better than a broken nose on New YYear'seve. Damn it. I feel so guilty. Do you th

Chapter 5 (Ana's POV)Why?Why did I let him kiss me?No, let me rephrase this… Why did I return his kiss?And for fucks sake, why did I stay in his embrace for almost an hour after the kiss?Those are the questions and troubles I had in my head for more than a week now.And I still came up with no answers each freaking day.I just wanted to understand.But I guess sometimes what it's logical to your head, makes no sense to your heart.Damn my soft heart.And the worst part?I still didn't manage to return his money.It was still waiting in my account, tempting me every single day.What in the ever-loving God is wrong with me?!Even my best friends heard nothing from me because I was hiding from the entire world.And no way in hell was I showing my face anytime soon.Well, honestly…. It seems the universe had its plans for me and my game of hide and seek.Because next thing you know, someone was knocking on my door.I dragged my ass to the door and once again I ignored the peephole.H

Chapter 6 (Will's POV)You know that feeling when you spend hours planning something to its perfection and it actually all goes as it should?Yeah, that's how I feel right now.Even though I almost ruined my own plan once I saw Ana standing in the living room in that outfit. This woman has no idea what she does to my imagination and sexual drive.But thank God for once she obeyed me and ran as fast as her legs could carry her into the safe comfort of my car.Still, she was a pure temptation all the way to our destination.I had to thank her friends later for making a reservation close to Ana's place.Once we reached our destination I made sure to be on my best gentlemanly behavior.I opened the door for her, took her hand, and put it in the crook of my arm.See? A real gentleman.I could feel the eyes of our hostess wandering over my body, but no other woman piqued my interest but the one I had beside me. So right now the world could fall apart for all I knew. I would die a happy ma

Chapter 7 (Ana's POV)I know what you are thinking.But what was I supposed to do?And I could tell he was speaking from the heart.So yes, I gave him another chance, but I would still tread with caution Sure I still love him, like crazy, but that does not mean I am stupid.Somehow I can feel it in my bones the shit storm is yet to start.For now, though I would focus on our dinner together and every perfect moment we would spend together because let's be honest. Every moment with William was pure and utter perfection.Like the man himself.The conversation was running smoothly as if a day hadn't passed since we were together.We took care of the hard topics so now we could enjoy our time together as we both deserved.Sure people thought since William came from a wealthy family his life was perfect.But I knew everything wasn't as it seemed.His parents never spoiled him, well at least what I knew about his father. E rarely talked about his mother though and somehow it was weird but

Chapter 8 ( Will's POV)I hate family dinners.You might wonder why.Let me explain.My mother was not my mother.Ok, that just sounded wrong.I will rephrase that.The woman I called mother, actually wasn't my mother.Shocking right?Well, I will elaborate before we turn our attention back to the family dinner that is happening in the present.Years ago my mother and brother were in a car accident and supposedly they both died. Looking at what was left of the car there was no chance they could survive.But what was weird though, there was no blood either in the car or around it.So I think you can understand why I was so skeptical about everything the cops told me and my father and at that time.There was another weird thing.It was only a few weeks after we buried 2 empty caskets because we never found any remains of mother or Devin- that was my brother's name.And suddenly there was a woman at our door. She was covered in dirt and blood, which wasn't hers, but she couldn't - or rat

Chapter 9 (Ana's POV)I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY!Why?Well, things are finally going as planned.We managed to take off all the paperwork, meetings, long conference calls, etc.And we finally managed to launch our first official commercial on television.We were currently all seated in Becky and Aron's living room.And by all, I mean myself, William, Becky and Aron, Rachel and Mason, and of course Vicky.And for the first time, since we started hanging out together, it was quiet in the house.I know, weird right?Just us four girls should be able to make a huge ruckus.But right now we were too nervous because, in a few minutes, our commercial would play for the first time.The time finally arrived and we watched with held breath.It was perfect. Our main model was, of course, Becky.And I bet you can guess what followed after the commercial was done.Duh!!We started screaming and jumping at the same time.And it was all back to normal.Chatter returned, joking started and we were just

BONUS SCENE *********Since we started with Rachel and Mason I thought it would only be fair to end our journey with them as well don't you think? :) but let's see it like this. They have a daughter and a sister…what do you think those two are up to a decade or two later??*********Rachel and Mason 25 years into marriage "Mom! Mila is coming by to get me in a few minutes! Can you tell your son to leave me alone so I can get ready?"I chuckled at my daughter. She was almost 26 years old but Harry still tries to be the overprotective brother even though she just wants him to leave her alone so she can find a boyfriend.But to her disappointment, Mason encourages his son and even helps him whenever a boy comes around our house.Well too bad for them. Rebecka is my daughter through and through. Her sassy side, her looks, everything. "Mason, can you please for once tell Harry to go out with his own friends? You know I want grandbabies at some point."Mason was sitting right next to me a

Epilogue A FEW YEARS LATER Vicky's POV "Sid! Come downstairs and bring your brothers with you please, dad will be home any minute!""Okay, mom!"As you can see, Sidney is still the perfect child even at 21 years. The same could not be said for her brothers. Only 6 months after our reunion Devin proposed and of course, I accepted without hesitation. We got married a month later and our wedding was a smaller ceremony because we were in a hurry. I was pregnant. A few months later we got the news that there were two babies, not one. And add some more months and we got two little boys who looked exactly like their father and even now, at almost 7 years they are the spitting image of Devin. And not just in looks either. They have his mischievous character as well. But I can't say I regret anything. I love my family just the way it is.A few minutes later our children rush from upstairs and immediately start to help me prepare the table for dinner.Devin still runs the organization but now
just another roomie some dreams do come true
Chapter 16 (Devin's POV)GUYS! I have a daughter!Almost a grown up daughter.When I first saw her standing next to Vicky I didn't even realize little details that pointed towards me being her father.What I saw was only that she was the spitting image of her mother, except for her hair color. I now realized it was the same as mine.The anger I felt was boiling and I was barely holding back my sarcasm when I asked Vicky who Sidney's father was. Until she brought me back to reality by telling me to take a closer look. And like I said, that's when little details started to pop out. Her eyes, her dimpled smile, and when I looked a bit closer the dead giveaway sign was staring back at me. A perfect replica of my mole, in the same spot where mine was.And when she stopped forward to shake my hand, my legs gave way and I was on my knees.There were only two persons that would ever be able to bring me to this position and in such a vulnerable state. One was the love of my life and the other

Chapter 15 (Vicky's POV)A FEW DAYS LATER Okay. A little help would be nice right now.How do you explain to your 15-year-old daughter that her father was actually alive and even in the same town as you two are living in?I guess there is no instruction or even a nice way. You just need to pull off the band-aid.Let's do this."Sidney! Honey! Can you please come here for a moment?"When I say my hands were sweating and shaking like a leaf in the wind I am not exaggerating at all.Sidney was pretty much the perfect child. Well except for her stubborn moments, I guess. But mostly she doesn't argue with me, she does what she's told to do, and does well in school. I've never even been called to school for any kind of problem.But I guess we could describe this news as a bomb being thrown at her already unstable life.But she deserved to know the truth and have a chance to choose whether she wanted to meet her fathers and have a relationship with him or not, and most of all, Devin deserve

Chapter 14 (Devin's POV)A few hours earlier.The time has come.I needed to make sure, my brother doesn't get married to that conniving bitch.And the only way to do that was if I came back into the land of the living.It was just me, my mother, and Gabriel going to the wedding that would never ever happen if I had a say.As we approached the hotel where it would all be held I spotted the devil's spawn right away and did everything in my power to avoid her.But then out of nowhere, a man approached us.He was vaguely familiar to me, but I couldn't put a name to his face right away."Me., Mrs., could I ask you to accompany me please?"As he spoke it struck me."You are Mason right?"He looked at me like a second head was growing on my shoulders."I won't even ask how you know my name because I have a feeling I wouldn't like the answer. So yes. My name is Mason."I gave him a nod and motioned for him that we would follow him.Before we went upstairs though I gave Gabriel an order to st

Chapter 13 (Vicky's POV)WE ARE GETTING CLOSER….Well, I guess we need to do some catching up.So here are the things you missed.My best friend Aron finally met his soulmate and he could not be happier.And honestly, she is the perfect match for him.I still remember the day when he brought her into my restaurant for the first time.Me being me I gave him crap and tried to make him look as bad as possible in front of Becky, but what my stories did was the opposite. It made her like him even more and in the process, made me like her even more. I saw it there and then, that they were perfect for each other. Of course, those two idiots needed a few more weeks before they came to the same conclusion. Also, Aron's mother tried to ruin everything good in between and she almost succeeded. Thank God Aron pulled his head out of his ass just in time and got Becky back with a grand gesture that I might have had a hand in.Before them, though there was Mason and Rachel, now that's a bit more com

Chapter 12 (Devin's POV)"How are things with businesses Gabriel? Any resistance left from owners to go to legal ways?"I was sitting in my office with my right-hand man Gabriel sitting right next to me."No man. We took care of everything so now every last one of our previous businesses is put on legal ground."That was news I loved to hear.Since I took over the mafia I have done everything to put us on the map as legal business owners and so far I've been doing a good job, and it was all thanks to Gabriel and Macy and all their support and help. Also my mother. She was working with Macy in one of our smaller companies. Its main production was make-up and everything related to it.So it could one day easily cooperate with my family's business which I hope goes as predicted into my brother's hands before we come clean about us being alive.There were still more things to be discussed but for the next few topics I needed to make sure the room was safe."Are we safe here?"Gabriel didn

Chapter 11 (Vicky's POV)A few years later"Sidney! Hurry up pumpkin! Nana will be here any minute!"It was one of our usual Monday mornings.Sidney was a heavy sleeper and that girl loved her sleep.So when I managed to wake her up in the mornings I didn't expect any good mood from her. At least not before noon.She was already 10 years old and she was a pain in my ass.I love her wholeheartedly but where she was a spitting image of me in the looks, she was her father's daughter characteristically. Stubborn, sassy, and has a wicked sense of humor already. "I am coming, mom! Why don't you take me to school? And why don't we ever spend the afternoon outside?"Here we go again."Sidney. I've told you. I have my restaurant to take care of and whether you like it or not your identity should be kept a secret. Your father came from a wealthy family and people hurt others when money is in the game. And I made a promise the day I gave birth to you…""I know, I know. That you would never let

Chapter 10 (Devin's POV)You know that feeling in your stomach that's telling you something important is going on somewhere but you have no idea what it could be?Well, this feeling has been bugging me the whole day long already.My life in general is starting to get better.I am waiting for Gabrial to arrive so we can take the report up to the boss's office. Thank God recently there was only legal business to take care of. Oh right. I am the boss's right hand alongside Gabriel and I must admit we make quite a good team.There was still no trace of Vicky or her whereabouts. I started to suspect someone from inside the organization didn't want me to find her. So while I was waiting for Gabriel I went through everything I knew about Vicky so far. And sadly it wasn't much.I was completely engrossed in my data and didn't even realize Gabriel walked up to me. A deadly mistake if it was someone else. Someone from the rival gangs around London perhaps."Didn't I tell you to drop this issue
