“How did it go?” Livian asked as soon as she saw her leave the prison. He was waiting for her in the parking lot thanks to her insistence on him not going into the building with her. He had been tensed up about it even though he knew that nothing could possibly happen under the intense scrutiny of the wardens, and that Cora would be in cuffs if they thought she was a threat. “Good. Not reconciliation in tears kind of good but it’ll do.” She tiptoed to kiss him. “I know it sounds crazy but I’m relieved. It was not fun to live in suspense and with no information of what the hell was actually going on.” “It’s not crazy.” He pulled her into his arms and hugged her for a long time before finally opening the car door for her. When she got in, he asked, “Would you like us to go home for a while before picking Liam up?” They had dropped Liam off at his grandparent’s house so

When Liam spoke of being close to his godsister, no one expected that he would actually treat her better than he treated his own sister. Gemma's daughter, Mia, was born when Wendy was two, and Liam's preference was obvious since then. At first, they thought it was because Wendy was born earlier and had bonded with him more often but when they found out that the boy wouldn't speak to other girls even as a teenager, they couldn't help trying to find out what he was thinking. "What do you think of Wendy?" Livian asked him as they chatted idly and walked through the park one day. He was now an adult and although Wendy was still young, it was obvious that there was something. He was shocked when his father pointed it out. "Do you promise not to think of me as a creepy bastard?" He asked. That nailed it, but Livian didn't reveal that he knew. "I will not." He promised. "Well…" He cleared his throat. "Wendy

Evenings were the busiest time of the day at the diner and when Wendy was finally done with her work for the day, it was already 7pm. Even so, she couldn't leave until her replacement who would be working the night shift arrived since it was a 24 hour restaurant. She glanced at her pocket watch in irritation. Alma, that bitch, was late again. What irked her was the fact that she knew Alma disliked her and she was doing it on purpose like she always did whenever she had to take over the night shift from Wendy. Clara had already changed out of her work uniform and sent it to the laundry, so she was ready to go. She offered a smile at Wendy as she made her way towards the back door. "Want to go home together? My boyfriend will pick me up. We can give you a ride. Go on and change, I'll wait for you."Wendy looked up from the orders she was preparing for a couple and their daughter, returning the smile. "It's alright. I'll take the subway." She was gratef

Liam and Wendy had a shotgun wedding and it was baffling to everyone. The first thing they had to do was fulfill a part of the contract, which was for Wendy to make an appearance in the Dumont family as his wife. Their plan was to pass off as a real couple but they were shocked when they found out that Gemma was not falling for it. "The two of you broke up two years ago, didn't you?" She questioned them. "We reconciled and realized that we didn't want to risk losing each other again, so we decided to get married." Liam held her hand. Gemma chuckled. "Or, Liam had his assistant get him a suitable wife for hire so he would be able to access the trust fund from his great grandmother and since his assistant couldn't get a suitable woman, you decided that it would be more believable if it was you and him getting married." Gemma teased. "That's not…" Wendy didn't know how to defend herself. "It's okay. It's perfectly

She thought he would ask to spend more days of the week with her or something along the lines but what he said surprised her. "Promise me that you will sue Declan and that you will definitely go through with it no matter what happens." She frowned. "How is that paying you back? It's in my favor either way." She looked at him in confusion. Did he have a misunderstanding about the meaning of paying back? "It does pay me back. It's a win-win situation for both you and me." She thought hard about it and still couldn't understand how that was remotely possible. "Is it because the man who hurt the woman you love will be behind bars and you will no longer have to see his face around? or, do you have personal grudges with him? Are you planning to use his term  in prison as a way to end him? He smiled at her vivid imagination. "It's nothing of the sort. Well, those would be added benefits of putting him behind bars but the main reaso
