110 | "That's what you're saying? Nothing?”
The dinner started, and everyone sat around the long table, talking and laughing, and enjoying the evening overall.
Ronin and Carmen stood at the head of the table, watching everyone take their seats.
Willow grabbed a chair next to Eric, only to find Diana sliding into the chair right in front of her.
After their conversation at the driveway, Willow hadn’t been able to think about anything else. It all felt so surreal. Like everything that was happening was more like a dream, and she couldn’t wait for someone to wake her up.
But then she thought about reality and the fact that Ronin wouldn’t be in it if things went back to the way they were, and once again, she found herself stuck in a strange dilemma.
It was as if fate was forcing her to choose between her brother and Alice. But could she really? She loved her brother, there was no doubt about it, but she had also raised Alice as her daughter. Even the thought of having no relati

Willow wasn’t sure what she was expecting to find in the lone corner of the grand gardens of Ronin’s property, but the last person she thought she would find was the man who had forgotten her so easily.Dan.But she would be lying if seeing him hadn’t given her hopes she didn’t have right having. Her heart thumped towards him and for a second her eyes begged him to stop pretending and torturing her with his obliviousness.But then she got a better hold on herself and rolled her shoulders. There was no point in wasting emotions where they wouldn’t be appreciated. And right now, as much as it hurt her to admit, Dan was the last person to understand how she truly felt on the inside.“Well, aren’t you a huge hypocrite?” she taunted, aware of his presence across the small field of freshly cut grass. He stood against a tall tree, leaning his shoulder against it, ankles crossed almost lazily. The area was shrouded in thick darkness, making it hard to see his expression. However, the way his
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 112 | "Where are we going?”
It was impossible to think clearly when he was so close.Willow tried hard to focus on the matter at hand, but with him standing so close, his warm and intoxicating breath grazing across her face ever so gently, as if coaxing her to lose herself in the depths of his dark eyes and melt her body with his, the task kept on growing harder and harder.Perhaps if he would take a step back, she would scold herself to laser focus on what he was saying. But even forcing the words out to tell him that she needed a little space before she remembered to talk again was proving to be an arduous task in its own.Willow pursed her lips and splayed her fingers behind her against the tree. It was the only thing she could do to keep herself grounded and not do something stupid.“What is it now?” he asked in his name delicious voice, dark eyes searching for her own. “Cat got your tongue?”She swallowed. If only she could tell him how wrong he was.She shook her head, finally summoning the strength to look
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 113 | “Why are you here then?”
Kissing Dan was not part of the plan. Not that there was a plan to begin with.But how could she pretend it didn’t matter? That it didn’t break her heart to lose the one guy she had come to love so damn much?It all felt like a nightmare, the one which refused to let her wake up to the reality where Dan wasn’t a stranger and she wasn’t so miserable. Willow swallowed and turned away from the window of her bedroom.After Dan dropped her off so she could rejoin her family gathering—and be safe with her loved ones instead of wandering in the wild—he disappeared into the thick shadow of trees as if he was never there.But Willow knew he was there. She had a sweet sensation and the taste of his lips on hers to prove that. Not that it made her any less miserable. A small taste of him was just not enough. She wanted more, and she wanted it bad.Willow walked back to her bed and flopped down with a heavy sigh. She ran a hand through her dark hair and wondered what to do next. She might have sa
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 114 | "Are you sure it's safe?”
Carmen sat in front of the dressing table and stared at herself in the mirror. She was still dressed in the ivory dress she had worn for their small family gathering. Her cheeks turned pink as she thought of the announcement they had made earlier. They were about to have another baby, Ronin and her, that is. And she wasn’t sure if there was a way for them to be any happier. This life with Ronin had been beautiful, meaningful, and just so epic. She wouldn’t have it any other way. And she knew Ronin felt the same. She knew him better now, way better than the time when he had slammed the divorce papers for her to sign. But it was a time they both had almost forgotten. In fact, Carmen rarely thought about it. Her life with Ronin was so wonderfully busy and lively; there was no time to wallow in the past. All she could focus on was their present and now, as well as their future. She had a new life forming inside her. She couldn’t be more excited. The train of her thoughts was disrupted
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 115 | "What do you want?”
“You’re insane,” Diana said over the phone as the car she was sitting in drove towards the airport.After attending the special family gathering at Carmen’s place, the woman was back on her way to Milan, where Simon was ready to get into yet another trouble, or at least that’s what she thought he always did whenever a woman of his liking caught his eye.But that was none of her business. As long as he stayed away from her daughter and her little family, she could let him get away with anything. Especially after everything he and his father had done for her. If it weren’t for them, she wouldn’t have been alive. And that was something to be grateful for.Simon on the line chuckled. “Or so you say, but seriously, I’m not kidding. I finally got it.”Diana’s thoughts paused for a second before she finally let the surprise pass. “Are you serious?”“Yep!”“You found the 1600-year-old artifact for real?”“Yep, and it comes with dazzling rubies.”“No way,” there was no way he found the crown t
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 116 | "Why are you so panicked?"
Willow was still trying to think of a plan to rid herself of the stubborn Dan, who lay on her bed like a persistent octopus, when she heard a loud commotion downstairs. With her eyebrows raised, she shot Dan one last look before growling out a threat.“Do. Not. Move.”He tilted his head towards her, his eyes closed as the corner of his lips tipped up. “Where else would I go?”Willow didn’t bother with a reply. Instead, she walked over to the door and opened it slightly. She could hear the commotion a little clearer now, but not enough to discern what was going on. She decided to throw caution to the wind and opened the door wide, opting to investigate what was happening downstairs. She walked out and crept down the hallway.It didn’t take her long to reach the stairs and witness the source of the commotion herself.Her entire family had woken up and was now in the living room, arguing and bickering with the older woman who had no right to be there in the middle of the night.“What’s g
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 117 | "You know what your problem is?”
Willow didn’t have the time to hear the full story. But she knew Diana wasn’t faking it.The woman wasn’t lying about her daughter and son-in-law being in danger. The rest of the details didn’t matter. She had to find the device, if she still had it, and if not, it would be time to think outside the box.Willow assured Diana that she would find the device, not sure how but she did her best to convince the anxious mother and watched as she left, hoping to get in contact with someone she knew, someone who could help fight this organization if need be.Willow could only guess for now, but she would bet her everything on that someone being Simon Walsh. Not that it was her concern to know who Diana trusted or not. She had a job to do, and she would have to put her everything into it.After Diana left, Willow stormed into her room and started rummaging through the drawer of her nightstand and the floor. If she could only find that damn device, everything would be just fine. She tried to sea
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 118 | "Where are we exactly?”
Willow sat in her car and stared at the steering wheel, her fingers curled around it. “You probably think I’m crazy, don’t you?” She asked, turning to see Dan sitting in the passenger seat, staring at her. “Don’t even try to lie. I can read it on your face.” Dan shook his head, his expression calm and unreadable. He looked out the window, staring up all the way to the roof of the mansion. “No. I don’t think you’re crazy. I just think you’re…well…not like others.” Willow snorted at that. “That’s one way to put it.” “Come on,” he sighed, looking back at her. “You can’t blame me for thinking that. I mean, you did just tell me everything about the device, the reality shifts, the whole thing with Diana Price, and the organization, and the fact that you have travelled through time.” She frowned, not liking his tone. “I told you because you wanted to know. You literally fucked me into the wall,” she could still feel her core tingling after he’d fucked her twice in the same night. “You wa
