August wakes up the next morning, unsure if last night was nothing but a wicked dream. He peeks at the spot next to him and sees Elizabeth’s sleeping figure curled facing away from him but still sleeping. Smiling and exhaling with relief as he shifts to face her and hold her against him. He lost her because of his stupidity, but he made sure Madison was out of his life for good. She was previously his muse, but she crushed his heart and spirit when she chose to marry for wealth. No matter what she told him a few days ago, his heart wasn’t hers to break anymore.
Madison Page looks up at August’s manor and grins sadly. She knew she lost August a long time ago because she chose money over their love but not a day goes by where she didn’t regret her decision. Years of being nothing but a punching bag to her husband showed her how karma worked, her son was the only light at the end of a very dark tunnel.She spots movement on the front porch and sees the manor’s front door opening.
August rushes to the stage before Elizabeth's head could hit the floor. A gasp echoed through the hall when she fell. He took her into his arms and went backstage, "Joseph, call an ambulance!" He instructed her PA and he obliged. He knew something wasn't right all evening, he could feel that it was more than just her nerves working overtime.As he strokes her hair, he thinks of the box in his tuxedo's breast pocket. He was going to end off her most specia
Eldred Dereon watches his son and that woman from a distance and scowls. How did he bringing Madison Page back into August's life not work? He was basically a lovesick and obsessed boy over Madison, and when he lost her he grew even more obsessed. It's a good thing he got her out of his son's life, she would have made an awful wife and he would have forgotten his responsibility to the family.He downs his whiskey and slams his glass down. Augus
Itwas a week before Christmas and August was stumped as to what to get Elizabeth as a gift. What do you get a woman who seemingly has everything and the world at her feet? He slams his laptop shut in frustration. After hours of scrolling through Pandora, Audemars Piguet, Harry Winston and Tiffany & Co websites, he decided to give up. Elizabeth wasn’t really an expensive jewelry type of person, so he wasn’t sure why he was wasting his time looking for a perfect gift for her on their websites.He sits back in his chair and exhales. Maybe he should just ask her what she wants? But don
Elizabeth frowns at her laptop and hangs her head in her hands. She couldn't decide what to get August for Christmas either. On top of worrying about her companies, she had to deal with the stress of buying August Dereon a Christmas gift. She knew what he liked, but couldn't find the perfect gift to convey the words "I Love You". He had been such an integral part of her life for the last 2 years, but couldn't decide what he would like best.What do you think Elizabeth should get him??

August turns back to look at the villa. It really was perfect for the three of them. The nursery was sorted, there were no stairs so that would prevent a fall if it ever had to happen. He turns around and walks away with a smile and gets into his car.As he drove away he couldn't help but think of the future, he had a lot to consider now. It wasn't just Dereon Inc. that he had to think about, there was Elizabeth, their unborn child and th
It was Christmas morning and Elizabeth woke up to the smell of bacon wafting up from the kitchen and immediately felt nauseous. She sprints to the bathroom and empties whatever is left of her stomach contents into the toilet. Looking and feeling guilty, she mouths an “Oh, no.” as she realises August would be so disappointed, he was trying to do something sweet but she wouldn't be able to stomach breakfast this morning. Getting up from the floor, she turns to the sink and splashes her face, after which she brushes her t
A few days after Christmas, August and Elizabeth are completely settled into their new family home. He noticed that she was brimming with inspiration a lot more than since they moved into their countryside villa. He loved the fact that she was happy with their home, so it seems that he did well.
