LOGINARIELLA Until... I found myself inside the house. The first door led into the kitchen. It was completely quiet. There wasn't a cook in sight, although there were signs that someone had been cooking here not too long ago; the kitchen was still warm, and there were dishes in the sink. From there,
ARIELLA Asher got even more protective after that. He upped the security, if that was even possible. We weren't allowed to leave the premises unless he was there, no matter how many guards were with us. Getting in and out of the house required a full-body scan, signing in and out, and enough sec
ARIELLA Whatever Asher was worried about... Whatever danger he felt was coming... If it came... We would face it together. I knew that with every part of me. I knew He would be right beside me, and I would be beside him. I knew together, we would protect our son just as he would do everything in
ARIELLA When we got home that night, Asher told me about his uncle's birthday. Apparently, it was his uncle's birthday, and he wanted me and Leon to be there. But Leon was exhausted. He had just taken a bath, and the poor thing kept yawning every few seconds. I made him a little evening snack

I nod, swallowing down the bitterness. “Okay… so what now? We just wait here until Leon comes? I thought you were going to get him.” “Yeah, I’m not staying here,” he replies, turning toward the door. “You’re leaving me here?” I ask, glancing around the cold, uninviting apartment. He tilts his hea
The door burst open with a violent slam that echoed through the room like a shot. I stumbled back, my heart leaping to my throat as five or six men in dark clothes stormed in like a sudden storm. Their invasion was silent, coordinated and dangerous. One of them, clearly their leader, stepped forwar
Asher's gaze flashed. "I can't be a righteous man right now, Ariella... Stop doing that." I bit my bottom lip. He hissed as I asked, "Stop doing what?" "If you continue doing that, I'm going to have to break all the promises I made to you. Break all the promises I made to your parents...." He t
