All Chapters of The Comeback (book 1 of the Miller family): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Adam's P.O.V. I slowly opened my eyes, wincing at the intrusive rays of sunlight that seeped through the half-closed blinds, indicating that it was already much later than I would wake up on a normal day. My head throbbed with a relentless rhythm, and my parched throat begged for some relief in the form of water or anything liquid. I groaned and shifted on the familiar, worn-out coach that was standing in the living room, trying to piece together the fragmented memories from the previous night’s New Year’s Eve party. As the haze slowly lifted, I began to recall the sounds of laughter, the clinking of glasses, and the joyful chaos that had filled the bar last night during the celebration for the beginning of a new year. Shit, I had been way too drunk for my own good last night. Lord only knew what kind of trouble I had been in… trouble I probably wouldn’t even remember right now. I groaned, looking around the room of the house that I called my home. It was the same house that I had gr

Adam’s P.O.V. I stepped into the hallway of the quaint, weathered house that belonged to my grandmother, a place that held countless memories from my own childhood. Back in the day, I hadn’t known death in my life. When Pops was still alive, along with both of my parents. “Well, it’s always nice to have you here, my boy. I’ve been waiting for you to bring some excitement into this old and smelly house.” She smiled, looking around as if the walls could talk. I chuckled, happy to see my grandmother. “Well, I couldn’t miss the chance to start the new year without your infectious energy, now could I?” I asked her as she patted my cheek affectionately before we walked into the living room. “Well, you certainly know how to charm an old lady. Now, sit down and tell me all about your adventures at the bar last night.” She grinned, making me roll my eyes at her. “Gran, it’s not even noon…” I sighed, wondering who the hell had already spilled the beans on her. “And this is still a small to

Jenna’s P.O.V. “Hey, Jenna! To what do I owe the pleasure of this call so early in the morning? Did you discover a secret treasure map or find a talking parrot down by that cute little harbor in that even cuter Hallmark town of yours?” I chuckled at Jules’ words, feeling the tension in my shoulders ease already. “If only my life was that exciting! I’ve just had a mind-boggling conversation with the lawyer handling my Uncle Ben’s will. You won’t believe what he just told me.” I sighed, stepping inside the hotel and walking straight towards the elevators that would take me to the right floor. “Do tell, my friend! I’m all ears and ready for the grand reveal.” Jules answered me, and by the way her voice was sounding, I could have sworn she was eating something at the other end of the phone. “Well. He basically left me everything he owned. His house, but also his construction business. And it even turns out that my dear uncle wanted to play a final prank on me from beyond the grave, sin

Seeing Adam once again after twelve years, I still found it hard to believe that he still looked like a real-life model. And I felt my body once again heating up with old flames I knew only he would be able to extinguish. And it wasn’t just his broad shoulders or the dimple on his right cheek when he grinned playfully, it wasn’t the way he smelled of cologne mixed with his personal male scent. For me, it was his eyes. It had always been his eyes. The way they seemed to stare into my soul, those deep dark browns. And as I now looked up and looked into them again, they were just as transfixing as all those years ago.Yup, I’m done foronce again…Darn, you, Jenna!What is it with this man that you can’t seem to shake off?  “You know, Jenna. If you were a vegetable, you’d be a cute cumber.” Adam told me with a mischievous smile.“Really

Jenna’s P.O.V. in 2010 “I’ve seen him around in school.” I nodded in response because I had. I just didn’t get the goosebumps and fluttering butterflies in my stomach like I would get from Adam.“He’s an asshole though. He has his whole life figured out for him already.” Adam told me, a bit of anger in his voice as he spoke about his younger brother.“While I don’t even know what to do with my life. I mean, if I don’t get a scholarship to play rugby somewhere, I wouldn’t know what to do with my life, honestly. I mean, my backup plan is to join the army, but my mom doesn’t want to hear about any of that. But I mean… you know moms.” He laughed, to which I pressed my lips into a thin line.No… I don’tI don’t know ‘moms’Mine left me at the front door of my uncle’s house
