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

“Daddy! Mommy!”I smiled so wide that my cheeks started to hurt. I put the phone on a loud speaker and Raina moved closer to me on the chair so she could also talk to them. She gently rested her head against my shoulder and I could feel her smiling too. “Hi babies,” she said softly into the phone.
“Do you know that Dominic was one of the biggest bullies back in high school?” Carter had said while we went through some documents. “Really?”“Yes, everyone feared him,” he had replied with a laugh. “It’s just so funny to see him fight against injustice now when he was the one who used to be on th
