Thirty days, one month, that is exactly how long it took for my world to start feeling normal. Or maybe I was lying to myself to believe that somehow, it was starting to feel normal. For one month, Liam never tried to contact me. I finally decided to admit to the fact that my Jace was gone and was now replaced by this cruel man called Liam. For one month, I constantly woke up to a cold and empty apartment, my heart was constantly ripped into different pieces and my body was a steady reminder of the secret he left behind. I didnt give up easily. For weeks I was searching for the father of my unborn child. I called every hospital that I knew, I watched and listened to every news outlets. I asked everyone that I could with fear that maybe he had been taken or worse. And even if he did leave me, once he finds out that I am pregnant, I was sure he would come back to me. But no matter how much I tried, no matter how well I thought I was ready to let him go, nothing could have prepared

I could see Jace's hands trembling as he held the picture in his hand. His face lost all expressions as he stared more at it. I could not understand what I was feeling. I had wanted to leave this world but I was certain that I didn't want to go like this. We heard footsteps stepping away from the door for a while and we knew they were gone. We sat in silence for what felt like hours, wondering what we would do.We were still contemplating what we could do and next, we heard another knock that shattered our thoughts and put fear in us. "Amara Kane?' The voice rang out from the other side of the door. It was a brutal voice and I could not stop myself from being scared. "FBI. Open up.”Jace moved his head towards me speedily, "do not open it" he said. I could tell that he was still paranoid over what had happened earlier and he had every right to be. "You do not even know who they are," I said, determined that I was not going to allow fear to take the best of me. "Of course I do," J

I didn't sleep, I couldn't, not when it felt like a sword was hanging over me and I could not take it off my neck. This man had claimed that he did not know what was happening and I needed to figure it out before this mess would affect me as well. The flash drive was still burning a hole in my dresser drawer after all and everytime Jace snored, the realization that he was Liam Steele the prodigal heir to a multi million dollar tech empire dawned heavier on me. Even though he had vanished, I knew that very soon people, dangerous people would come looking for him and I could not have that. Especially since I was the one who had brought him home. "God, Amara!" I exclaimed as I rubbed my temples, trying my best to be calm. I stared at my ceiling, wondering what I should do. Should I wake him and kick him out or allow him to stay a bit longer? Before I could make a decision, his voice cut through. “Amara…?”I turned my head to his direction, said a light "yeah" before sitting him to loo

I couldn't sleep. I didn't know how to close my eyes when there was a wounded stranger in my house. So I just curled up in my threadbare armchair and extended my hoodie to reach my legs. With a warm cup of tea in my hand, I watched as the storm peeled away and it looked like it had finally given up. I stole a glance at the man that laid on my futon, he didn't seem to move much. Only his chest seemed to heave with a slow and steady rhythm. At least he was still alive, that was a good thing. Though, his face did not look like one carrying a man full of life. He had bruises all over them, his hands were scraped raw and he looked like a man who had been dragged through hell and then dumped on my doorstep. I had tried to find a way of contacting his people but there was no ID on this man. Just blood, smoke and a beautiful face. When dawn came, I made coffee and unknowingly burned the toast. Looking at the burnt toast, it screamed at me that I was definitely a failure. I cursed under my

No matter how fast I ran on the sidewalks, I could not stop the rain from soaking me to my bones. I knew the weather was going to be terrible but I also knew that if I had stayed at home, I would have probably gone mad. So I went to the diner and picked up a double shift, not caring that it would drain me. I barged into the tiny apartment that I lived in with my best friend Tasha and I saw her all dressed up. She was clearly heading somewhere and I knew exactly where she was going."Oh my God, you took the job?!" I asked her, shocked at the betrayal. Tasha's head spun as she heard my voice and she became defensive. "Alright, so I took it. Amara, you need to calm down. You and I both know that SteeleTech funds half of the start ups in this city. Do you really want me to keep waiting tables while you continue this fruitless journey of chasing ghosts? I could not believe how arrogant she had gotten. Throwing the keys to the floor, I screamed. "That explosion was not an accident and yo
