MasukOn 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

I didn’t stop walking.“Ask the bastard in the room,” I shot back, my voice cold and sharp. “He’s the one who tried to hurt her.”Dominic’s eyes flickered with rage, but he followed me without another word as I carried Raina out of the building and straight to my car.~The drive to the hospital was
Dominic chuckled, clearly not buying my attempt at nonchalance, but thankfully, he didn’t press.I was just about to broach the subject of the SD card when a sudden jolt made me gasp. Champagne splashed across the front of my dress, the icy liquid soaking through the fabric and clinging to my skin.
RAINAAnother party. Another auction. As much as I had grown used to these events, they drained me. The constant buzz of chatter, the glittering gowns, the sound of laughter ringing hollow—it was exhausting. All I wanted was to be at home, wrapped in a blanket with Ava’s giggles filling the room. Bu
RainaAlex was still the arrogant ass I’d always known him to be. He saved my life, sure, and I should probably feel grateful, but I didn’t. I couldn’t. Not after everything. Not after the years of betrayal, heartbreak, and silence that had hardened me. So when he stood there, smug and confident as
