I am not following this instinct that had taken an enormous chunk of my willpower, but the effort had faded into irrelevance beside the will power I had needed to tap into just to stop myself from taking Beatrice in my arms to comfort her.
Just the sight of her standing there, white-faced and shaking, looking so vulnerable and fragile, had awoken every protective instinct I had and some new ones. While she had struggled not to cry, I had struggled to keep my distance.
I hadn’t allowed myself to even touch her.
I just couldn’t. if I had known it wouldn’t have stopped at comforting her.

I squashed the flash of sympathy I felt for him. It might explain why, but it did not begin to excuse the way he had used me. “It is in the cards, though uncertain as yet. You sound surprise to me?” “I am.” Not as surprised as I had been when I had learned that the couple who had seemed a perfect match on every level were breaking up. Until the moment that the divorce had been announced, I had expected a dramatic reconciliation, but the Sancho divorce, like the break-up. Had been low key and bizarrely amicable based on what they called a mutual decision. But had that mutual, civilized, still-good-friend
Carrying The Conde's Heir Prologue
Prologue I woke up not feeling good, and something is happening inside my body. I can’t tell how or why, but I know something is different. My head is swirling, and my stomach is gagging up with my head. I feel terrible. Slowly I got up from my bed, and I looked at the empty bed beside me. I smile, a sweet smile escapes from my lips. I know Alejandro was in his office right now. I have heard that Emma Dowager is coming today. She is the tenth duchess of Montoro, a very close friend of Alejandro, and one of his business partners. It is early, and now he is busy. Being the country's Count is a big responsibility that Alejandro was carrying every day, and it did not bother me at all, as long as we are happy and always find time for each other. That’s enough for both of

Alejandro’s "In a marriage, there are three kinds of a ring, engagement ring, wedding ring, and the highlight suffering." Matias Roman said as we watched our friend, Andres Felipe, dance with his radiant bride, Alejandra Sancho, my sister. The reception was taking place at the garden inside the Castillo De Sancho, where Alejandra and I were raised and born. "Wait till Andres hears that," I said while sipping the fine red wine on my goblet; the familiar taste of bittersweet runs through my throat. I already know that I'm drinking expensive wine. "What? Just look at them. It is almost enough to make you believe in the fine institution of marriag

Cameron’s It was a perfect sunny day. I grab the keys to my tiny apartment and make my way outside the house. My busy neighborhood greeted me as I descended the concrete staircase. I already hear the voice of a woman nagging their children and lecturing about the value of education. Some are talking to their phone using a megaphone or not; why? They talk so loud as if they want the people around them to also know what they are talking about. And on the far corner of the street, I saw some women forming a circle and doing their daily dose of vitamins, gossip. Mind you half of the women on that circle’s name was Marites and Karen they are famous local newscasters majoring in gossip. I can’t help but smile. At first, I was culture shock. But, later on, I am already used to the noise that Fil

I didn't bother to greet the people around me. I took the stairs to the second-story apartment two at a time. When I was inside, I closed the door and leaned heavily against it. Tears prickled on my eyelids, and it only made me more furious than I was upset over seeing Alejandro Sancho again. No, I didn't wish this thing to happen. I never wanted to see him again. Never did I want anyone to have the kind of power he had to hurt me. Never again. My hands automatically went to my belly, hugging my unborn little angel. I gently rubbed it, unsure who I was trying to comfort more, my baby or myself. "I was a fool to love him," I whispered. "I was a fool to think I could ever fit into his world and that the people around him accept me." I jumped when the door behind me vibrated with a knock. My heart leaped into my throat, and I put my shaky hand to my chest. I stared at the door as if

"It's none of your business." I willed myself not to rage at him. Instead, I looked at him calmly, coolly, while my emotions boiled beneath the surface like molten lava ready to erupt. How dare him. "It is if you're carrying my baby." His nostrils flared. I crossed my arms over my chest and stared at him holding my emotions. "Now why would you think that?" For a man only too willing to believe I'd slept around, it seemed pretty damn ridiculous that he'd barge into my apartment and my life again, demanding to know whether or not my baby was his. "Damn it, Cameron, we were engaged." storms swirled in his eyes, I could see the anger started to get on him but he kept it in check. He took a deep breath as he stared deep into my eyes. "We lived together and were intimate often. I have a right to know if this is my child." I raised an eyebr

Chapter 5 What the hell. I stared at the crumpled envelope in my hand. Still stunned in disbelief, my brain can’t formulate my thoughts. Then, as if someone drops a bomb in my brain and everything scattered and I don’t know where to start. Why? The way she acted as if im the biggest jerk she ever met. I’m not the one who cheated. All that I did was give everything to her and make sure she was taken care of? I glanced around at the messy apartment. Everything was so plain, no refrigerator, the two hanging cabinet doors were barely hanging. “Oh, god forbid. How come Cameron survived in this place?” I s

Cameron's Now… Now what? “Senorita,” What I’m going to do now? “Senorita Cameron?” A voice keeps on calling me, but I didn’t look back. My mind is in chaos from the bombardment of anger and shock. Who wouldn't be? After six long months, he will show up and insult me again? I need to breathe. I need to compose myself. I need to clear my mind. But, I know Alejandro and his capabilities, and he will force another confrontation again. So, I need to prepare for that. “Senorita, where
