ANMELDENOn 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

RAINA He was gone. Just like that.No words could capture the depth of my pain. It felt like someone had ripped my heart out and left me hollow. Dominic’s arms wrapped tightly around me and Grandma as we clung to each other, tears streaming down our faces. None of us could stop crying, and the soun
I knew I needed to play this carefully. The last thing I wanted was for Nathan to catch on to how much we knew about him. “She lost someone,” I replied simply, my voice steady but laced with warning.Nathan’s smirk deepened, but he didn’t press further. Instead, he adjusted his tie and stepped back.

She blinked rapidly, and her lips curled into a weak, wavering smile. “Oh, yes,” she stammered, stepping further into the room, “I just... wanted to make sure you two were okay. You don’t usually cook for yourselves.”Her eyes lingered on the counter, just for a moment, but long enough for me to not
