BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 122 | "You're taking her side now?
While Diana paced the sidewalk, talking over the phone and doing her best to explain everything to (hopefully) Simon, Dan grabbed Willow’s arm and dragged her to the side. Once they were out of Diana’s earshot, a deep frown crossed his ruggedly handsome face. “Did you just lie to her?” Willow had no clue what he was talking about. “About what?” Dan grunted, but held himself from shaking her by the shoulders, telling her to not be so blissfully ignorant. “About the device. You told her that Carmen gave it to Alice—or her child—however you put it. But the truth is that you stole it, isn’t it? You stole it from Carmen. That’s at least what you told me.” Willow bit her lip and averted her eyes. Dan was right. She had stolen the device from Carmen. She had taken it because when Alice told her about the device, she had decided to humor herself and see if things like that could really exist. She was curious. She had to know. She shook her head, glancing over her shoulder and noticing Dia
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 123 | "Why are you being so difficult?”
Carmen wasn’t sure what was happening.One moment, Ronin and she were sleeping peacefully, and the next, their home was being invaded by men who looked anything but friendly. Two of them even held guns at their faces and forced them out of their bedroom.Now, it had been hours, and Ronin and she were still sitting on the couch, not allowed to move, not allowed to talk, not even allowed to check up on their son.It was killing Carmen.The thought that her baby boy was somewhere upstairs, all alone and scared. She needed to go to him, hug him, and assure him that everything was going to be okay. But she couldn’t. Those men had refused to let her do anything.Alas, she had no choice but to try. It was almost dawn, and if Ryan came downstairs looking for them, those men might hurt him. She couldn’t risk that. She had to make sure her child was safe.Carmen shot to her feet, startling Ronin beside her. “I need to see my son,” she declared.Ronin stood up too, but before he could say anythi

“Madam, dinner is ready!” Suzzy, the head maid, entered Carmen’s room to remind her. The maid, who was in her late forties, quietly tapped on the door with a concerned look on her face. Carmen nodded. She had just completed packing for her flight the next morning. Even so, there was nothing in the bag she had received from the Logans. Carmen’s mother-in-law may have accepted her and showered her with presents and affection, but Ronin’s indifferent attitude was a permanent reminder that she was only a substitute. Whatever anyone gave her as his wife, it wasn’t hers to claim. She wondered if Ronin would be there to see her off… She then shook her head. Why was she letting such irrational hopes to occupy her mind? If his reaction this morning was any indication, he was eager to see her leave. He just wanted to get rid of her as quickly as possible. “I’ll be there in a minute. Have you spoken to Ronin? He’s got to be in his—” “Sir has already left, madam. He said he’ll have dinner o

“How could someone be that cold-hearted?” Molly Carter grumbled as she sat at a café near the airport with her best friend, Carmen Price.After the unpleasant encounter with Jenna in the kitchen, Carmen woke up the next morning and left for the airport as quietly as possible. She didn’t want to make any scene or give Ronin or Jenna a reason to believe she had no intention of leaving. The last thing she wanted was to give them another chance to humiliate her. Thus, as soon as the sun came up and the alarm on the nightstand went off, she was out of bed and out of Ronin’s hair in less than an hour.However, half an hour before her departure, Molly arrived with a furious scowl and literally dragged her out of the airport.“It doesn’t matter now.” Carmen attempted to placate her enraged friend, tracing the rim of the hot cup of coffee. “Let’s just forget about whatever happened.”“Are you sure you can forget about it?” Molly cocked her brow, knowing Carmen wasn’t the type of person who cou
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 3 | "I remember everything!"
It was barely 11 in the morning when Ronin stormed into the office chamber of his elder brother and tossed a file in his face.“What the heck are you trying to accomplish?”Erik Logan cast a lazy glance at Ronin and the paperwork on the table before returning to his laptop. “I’m not sure what you’re referring to.”“I think you know damn well what this is about.” Ronin snarled, leaning on the table and glaring at his brother, jaw clenched. “Stop pretending oblivion!”Erik groaned internally, eventually setting the laptop to the side, leaning back in his chair, and giving his younger brother undivided attention. “I’m not pretending to be anything, Ron,” there were times Erik wished to smack that needless attitude out of his younger brother, but this was not the time to lose patience. The entire day was ahead of him and he couldn’t risk destroying the mood. “You’re the one talking in riddles. I wouldn’t be this clueless if you spoke like a normal person. Have you thought about that?”The

“I don’t need a shopping spree to cheer my mood, Molly, I need sleep.” Carmen groaned as she was dragged by her best friend to one of the most expensive clothing stores in the mall.“That’s precisely what you’ve been doing for the previous two weeks, and seeing you and your miserable state of mind and body, I don’t think it’s working.” Molly harped, thanking the guard who’d already opened the glass door for them before closing it behind their backs.Carmen tried one more time to pull herself away, but Molly had linked her arm around hers, making it nearly impossible to detach from her bothersome friend.“Come on!” Eventually, standing in front of the racks, Molly let go of Carmen and started chucking any dress she deemed cute, sexy, or just suited for the workplace, the one Carmen still needed to start attending.“Ugh!” Carmen sighed, hardly keeping up with Molly’s rapid swings. “You’re so annoying. Hope you are aware of that.”Molly gave her a sideway glance, smirking. “Of course, I

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Molly asked, her voice breaking, as they pushed through the sweaty and sloppy crowd of club Euphoria, one of the city’s most premium venues.Carmen had no clue if it was, a good idea that was. The only reason she could think of for dragging her best friend to a place like this—one that had never been a part of her life—was that she wanted to try something new but didn’t want to do it alone.However, the truth about gathering such audacity wasn’t far from making her feel a tad guilty. After the encounter with Jenna and Ronin two days ago, Carmen felt the need to prove something. She was yet to understand what exactly the need was (and what it really meant to her), but what she could put together with the anxiousness and desperateness twisting knots in her stomach surely had something to do with her ability to move on.If Ronin was under the impression that she wasn’t done with him just as much as he was with her, she was eager to prove him so darn wr
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 6 | “Just go already!”
Carmen quickly grabbed her clothes and dashed to the bathroom, hoping to forget the dream that had jolted her awake. Her breathing was bedraggled, and her chest rose and fell at an unpredictable cadence. Her heart was hammering too loudly in her chest. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she couldn’t help but feel a burst of heat rush down her bones and blush even more, realizing that the woman who stared back resembled someone who had been thoroughly devoured.Bitten and bruised.But not in a painful way. Oh no, it was definitely not painful at all. Not in a way one might think.Yep, totally a dream. That little girl was probably something concocted by her own brain.Carmen bit her lip and walked away from the door, approaching the sink, turning on the water, and washing her face. Because she didn’t have any spare clothes to wear, she put on the dress she had worn the night before and stepped out of the bathroom, heels in her hand.
