RONAN

It’s a long and almost endless drive to the hospital. The distance manages to frighten me. I keep on wondering, asking myself how Sarah and Jaxon would have survived the long road to help.

The ambulance would have moved faster, wouldn’t it?

I’m not certain it’ll make much of a difference, but I try to tell myself that it would. Neither Malachi nor Jaxon have called with any bad news yet, that should be a good sign.

However, there hasn’t been any good news either.

“We’re here, sir.”

Finally.

I look up at the grand hospital building ahead of us. Without a word, I push the door open and step out of the car. The second my right foot touches the ground, my heart begins to pound brutally against the walls of my chest, like fists on a door.

Ignore it, push it down.

Everything is going to be just fine. We’re going to get through this just like we’ve gotten through everything else.

I repeat those sentences to myself every step of the way: into the hospital, into the elevator, an

    SARAHI shift against the pillows just to find a relaxing position. I will like this call to take a while,so I make sure I’m prepared for it.“Where do I even start?”“You can start from the beginning,” Jaxon says, “Ronan says he called you earlier.”Right.“So, I saw Julian today…”They collectively hiss, and it leaves me clenching my stomach from laughter. Now, I love when they’re petty and protective of me. It’s a cute and hot combination. It’s funny too.

  • All Yours, Daddies   Leaving durmont

    SARAH I know I promised to stay quiet and mind my business while the brothers handle the detective, but it’s really hard to. I can’t eat without seeing the plea in her eyes, the fear, the impending sense of doom. Great. She managed to completely ruin a perfect meal, and the rest of my day. The email I get at the close of work makes everything so much worse. The notification pops up on my screen while I’m on my desk. “Emergency Board Meeting on Friday. Attendance Mandatory.”I heave a sigh, my fingers massaging the sides of my head. Hours of staring at my screen has left me with a splitting headache. Julian didn’t waste any time.I stare at the email, reading it three times like the words might change if I look hard enough. They don’t. The meeting is scheduled. The battle line has been drawn. I have about four working days to figure out how to save my company, keep me in it. I feel far too tired to panic right now. I close my laptop, grab my bag, and head home.The house is

  • All Yours, Daddies   Truth Always prevails

    SARAH Of fucking course. Who else would show up to disturb my perfectly solemn afternoon by tailing me all the way from my office. Detective Caroline Walters shifts uncomfortably in her…my seat—it’s mine because she sure as hell wasn’t invited. Her under eyes are dark and puffy, and looks like she hasn’t slept in days. Her hair is pulled into a very tight ponytail that flows downwards, to the padded shoulders of her wrinkled cream blazer.I put my kobo down and lean backwards, stretching my back against my seat. “Are you stalking me, detective? This is starting to feel a lot like harassment, and I really do not appreciate harassed.”Her shoulders curl as she leans forward in a swift movement, desperate to eliminate the distance between us. “Listen,” her breath is shaky. “I don’t know what you know, or what it is you think you know, but you don’t have to do this. YOU SHOULDN’T DO THIS.”I blink at her. “I’m sorry, what?”She looks around urgently, warding off whatever prying eyes

    SARAHMy phone rings immediately when the message goes through. I smile at Ronan’s contact name displayed on my screen. Grumpy. I swipe the icon to the right, and once it clicks with the green buzzer on the screen, I put it on loudspeaker. “So, you do know something about Langford group of companies.” He laughs at his end of the line. The sound of it, rich and silky, makes my cheeks hot. The heat spreads to my chest very quickly, down to my stomach, until I’m seated on my chair with my right leg crossed over my left, craving some kind of friction—any kind—between my legs. “They’re a family company. Sort of affiliated, but not really. We’ve worked closely with them for years. We only thought it was right.” “I see,” my tongue trails over my teeth. I try my best to hide my smile. “You know you didn’t have to.”“I know. We wanted to. Since we’re going to be a family soon, it’s only fair we keep the family business together.”“You make it sound like a cult.”“That’s sexy. Cults are

  • All Yours, Daddies   Battle of wits

    SARAH “You must be out of your fucking mind.”I seethe. I can feel my heart pounding, but I refuse to let him see me shake, or stutter. He won’t win this battle, whether by wits or will. Julian straightens his tie, that smug expression still plastered on his face. “You might want to be careful with your words, Sarah. You will need to be on my good side very soon. As I said, I spoke to Aaron about acquiring his shares. He was very receptive to the idea.”I still can’t believe the words that are coming out of his fucking mouth. “You went to see my ex-husband. In prison. To buy shares in my company.”Friends definitely do not do things like that. “Our company,” he corrects. “And yes. Aaron still owns a significant portion of Wellspring. Just because he’s behind bars for now doesn’t mean those shares disappear, Sarah. You should know that.”I stare at him, trying to reconcile this man standing in front of me with the man that seemed to have my back at the hospital. The man who smile

  • All Yours, Daddies   I saw Aaron

    SARAH When I wake up the next morning, my whole body feels like I’ve been hit by a truck.It feels like my body is intent on reminding me I’m pregnant, punishing me for it. The bedroom is flooded with sunlight, and the light attacks my eyes once my kids part open. However, it’s voices coming from downstairs that bother me the most. “What the hell?” I mutter, sitting up.Ronan appears in the doorway right on time. His dark blonde hair is scattered all over his face, glued to the skin of his forehead with sweat. His black vest is also pressed against his skin, soaked. Did he just run a marathon? “Morning, kitten.” He smiles at me.“How are you feeling?”I stretch my hands and scratch my eyes with it, hoping it’ll make them adjust to the light. “Confused. Why does it sound like there’s a football team in our house?”He chuckles.“We called a doctor and some nurses. They’re going to run some tests.”Instinctively, my eyes find the antique wall clock beside the door. Long arm on num
