JULIADamon brought me to the most breathtaking place later that day. A countryside with cool air and the scent of freshly mowed grass and wood, which I never knew existed. I only saw skyscrapers in my life. I fed my eyes with the stunning, majestic acres of land, grounds of lush lawns, and trees as we drove through the driveway. It was incredible! Though someone should worry about getting lost for having such an enormous square mile estate.Back at the entrance, I remembered the arc that says, “Cavendish Manor.”“Are we far from the city?”“Not that far. This is my half-brother’s home.”I looked at him. “Your eldest brother?”“Yes. Ronald is here with his daughter, but his wife is currently out of the country.”“Wow, I always thought your world revolved around the office or your penthouse,” I remarked.“I’m a very private person, Ms. Taylor. I don’t involve anyone in my life, but of course, you’re not just anyone to me anymore.”“Sorry. I didn’t catch that.”“I’m going to introduce y

JULIAI stepped under the shower and let my brain recall everything Adam said earlier. He said he was falling for me, which was way too hard to believe. I wasn’t even sure if I felt the same. I just wanted to be with him. He was utterly irresistible, but that’s it.Also, I still worry about Henry. I didn’t know what happened to him. I was still so pissed at him for the show he pulled with Demi, but it was also right to tell him about his brother and me.After the shower, I came out of the bathroom and slipped on the fresh shirt and jeans—which Adam had provided for me before we came here. I didn’t find him in the room, but I heard voices outside the slightly opened door.“Just don’t mind her, Adam. She’ll be alright.”“She won’t, Ed—” Adam stopped as soon as he saw me.“Adam?” I called. It was Edward and Dominic he was talking to. They all looked at me as if they had just seen a ghost.“What’s going on?” I asked curiously.“Nothing,” Adam said. “Are you ready for dinner?”“Sure.” I fo

JULIAWe went back and found everyone playing volleyball by the swimming pool. One of the girls tossed the ball to the guys on the opposite side, but none of them hit back. A rich laugh came out from Adam at the sight of his friends that seemed to be on the losing team. I just loved seeing him like this... so carefree and so normal.“Would you like to join them?”He looked at me, still smiling. “How about you?”“I’m fine. You should join them.”He brought my hand to his lips. “I know how this is new to you, but I want you to join us.”“You are right. This is new to me, and you already said that I’m not ready. I’m giving myself a little time.”He nodded, agreeing. “Of course, you’ll feel that way. But I’ve never brought anyone here. Just you.”“That’s good enough then.”“When I told you that I’m falling for you, I mean it. I want you to be part of this,” he said softly.What he said struck me again. “Honestly, I just can’t tell you that I feel the same. I feel we are rushing things.”I

JULIA“Open the door, Julia. Please.” I didn’t know how long he had been knocking on the door the next morning, but I managed to leave it unanswered. I was still so mad; I didn’t want to see his face. All I wanted was to go home.“I’m so sorry,” he said. “Let’s talk, and please hear me out.”I swallowed hard as I felt my stomach growling in extreme hunger, but my pride was eating me. It was the only thing I had. I wanted to chastise him for not being honest with me. I wanted him to rot in front of the door for making me wear his wife’s swimsuit. It was so sick.“Just get mad at me and face me, but not like this,” he spoke again. “I’m tired of looking at the door. Please come out. You’re driving me crazy—Shut up, Edward! I told you not to bring Vivian here.”“I know, but give her some time. I’m sorry, man,” Edward said calmly, then I heard him walk away.Adam knocked again. “Julia, please talk to me.”I grabbed the pillows and covered them on my ears. Did he think saying he’s sorry was

JULIAIt was an arranged marriage,” he began, then wiped his mouth with a napkin. We were sitting now at The Bistro.“What happened?” I said, then ate a portion of my orecchiette.“I was depressed back then because of Demi and Henry, and my father was ill as well. Bianca is the daughter of a family friend. They wanted us to get married for business, of course, and no questions asked—I married her. She was sweet and responsible, and she cared for me. Those were the times, I thought she was different. Though it was my father’s last wish, I married her because she also needed my help. She was broken like me. Her boyfriend left her when she was pregnant with his child. She couldn’t tell anyone about it.”“Let me guess, you told them the baby was your child?”He curtly nodded.“Oh, God. That’s so heroic of you.” Every day this man never ceased to shock me with his revelations, and my heart sank knowing that he actually loved her. “Then what happened? Your relationship sounds like it was wor

“Mr. Cavendish’s office, may I help you?” I grabbed a stick-on note and a pen.“Hello,” a smooth male voice spoke on the other line. “May I speak with Ms. Taylor, please? This is Dominic Grant.”I rolled my eyes. What did he want this time?“Speaking. What is it, Mr. Grant?”“Oh, thank God, it’s you. How are you?”“What can I do for you, Mr. Grant?” I responded in the same tone, ignoring what he had said.“Relax. I just want to know if you’re alright. I'm sorry about what happened at the villa.”Apparently, I didn’t want to talk about the villa. “It’s fine. What else do you need?” I snapped.I heard him sigh. “Is Adam there?”“He’s here. I’ll transfer the call to his desk.”“No! Wait. Let’s talk first. I feel like I need to apologize. I’m still responsible. I shouldn’t have taken the girls there.”“I wouldn’t have known about it if it wasn’t for them, but I’m not going to thank you for that.”“I guess I know now why Adam likes you.” He chuckled. “By the way, I need to speak to you abo

Six months later…To: megoconnell@starlightincmail.comSubject: How Are You?Hey, Megs. How’s your first day in your new job in Sydney? I’m sorry I never got the chance to see you again. But I heard about you and Paul. Congratulations on your engagement! However, I’m still stuck in Harrisburg.

Paul said you proposed to him.Love,JuliaI sent the email and went downstairs. Mom was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast. I just loved seeing her each day in the morning—in her usual pink floral apron, hair tied in a bun, and her hands in gloves.I’m going to miss her so much.“Good morning.” I kissed her cheek.“Morning, darling. Sit down and have breakfast.”“Hmm. This smells good.” I picked up a piece of toast from the table and took a bite. “Where’s everyone?”“Your dad’s at the shop, and Claire’s still probably in her

“What’s going on with you?” Jake hissed. “You almost ripped my waist out of my body. You didn’t tell me everything about your former boss, did you?”I hushed him, pressing a finger to his lips. “You don’t have to say it out loud.”He sighed, then shoved my hand away. “Then at least tell me what happened back there.”God, I don’t know what to say. “It’s nothing. I’m just nervous to see him.”“Nervous? It was the way you reacted when he told you that she’s Bianca, whoever the hell she is.”“You heard her. She’s the ex-wife-now-fiancée. It’s weird, right? We should not talk about this, for now, Jake.”“It’s not weird. You are acting weird. Right now is the perfect time to talk. Did you sleep with him?” he asked straightforwardly.“What? No!” And I’m glad I didn’t.“Then what was that about? You committed fraud?”“No, of course not!”“Ms. Taylor?” A short-haired lady in a black dress suddenly interrupted. She was panting. “Excuse me.”“Goodness, Grace. Why are you running?” Jake asked.“G
