LOGINOn her reading table were a few books, I grabbed the stack of sticky notes, and scribbled some words for her, peeled it off and pasted it on her door.When she woke up, she would see it before leaving her room.After that, I leaned forward careful not to wake her then planted a kiss on her cheek bef
I let out a defeated sigh and adjusted my body against the pillow. “I’m leaving…” Liam was on his feet so fast all I saw was a blur. “What? What the fuck does that even mean?” He yelled and I swear that sound almost tore my head split open. I could my heartbeat in my head.I winced at the noise and
KYEHe looked just like me. My father. Not just that but I was the exact copy of him, just a lot younger than what Alexander and Raina have had the displeasure of meeting.I held my phone tightly as I stirred at his picture, as if waiting for the man in it to move and say something, answer my questi
“He’s a good kid, Dom. Give him a break. Sure he made some mistakes…” my mother countered and my nose scrunched from her words. This wouldn’t be the first I’d heard her say that. The way he always spoke for Kye made it seem like she accepted him or something. Somehow she’d forgotten what he had don

ALEXANDERWhat a fool I had been. All this time, blinded by my own arrogance, by my anger. Dominic wasn’t Raina’s lover—he was her brother. Her brother.Why didn’t she stop me at the hospital when I lost control and lashed out? Why didn’t she tell me then and there?The memory of that day resurfaced
RAINAThree things plagued my mind, circling like vultures over my exhaustion. Liam. That bitch Eliza. And Alex.Alex now knew the truth about Dominic.
