LOGINSilence, then his anger cracked… just slightly. “What do you mean? She told me she was going out with Issac on a date,” he said, sounding like he was trying to convince himself everything was fine. “I’m sure that you’re just trying to ruin their date.”“Shut up for once and listen to me.”Silence a
I wanted her, but not just her body. It was the way she laughed when she forgot to guard herself, the way she argued like she needed to win and the way she looked at me like she saw everything that I didn’t want anyone else to see. Somewhere between all the chaos and revenge… I had fallen for her.

A bitter taste rose in my mouth. The boy, Jonah, was nothing like me in temperament or bearing—yet he bore an uncanny resemblance to our father, a resemblance that felt like a cruel reminder of all that we’d lost.

"Hello?"A crackle, then a woman's voice, her voice breathless, "is this Alex?" "Speaking?"Okay, a miss Raina Grahams is currently being managed at our facility. She was brought in earlier and your name and about two others was listed as emergency contacts." The phone almost slipped from my grip,
RAINAI stared at him awestruck. I mean he'd been insisting we got back together but he had never said it with such vulnerability before. It warmed every part of me till I was moments from melting into him myself. I was still processing his words, those damn three words, barely recovered, when his l
