Why would she announce that, if she’s planning to dump him for Grayson in a few days?. I’m afraid Mr. Bennet might be the one in
I go to the door to let him in.“Victor,” I say cheerfully, “Come in, come in,” I say embracing him and letting him kiss my cheeks.“How is little Xavi doing?”“Oh, you know, the great thing about kids is that they’re so resilient. We’re thinking about having a couple of sessions with a therapist, j
As I stare at them, I know, life doesn’t get much better than this. And I’m so unbelievably thankful to have us all safe under the same roof.The awkward moment came when we had to explain that the doctors hadn’t been able to save Mika. Our sweet boy wept for her as we held him in our arms.He’d loo

“Okay, so send a team down there to extract the kid. I don’t want you going down there.”“I’ve got to babe. I have to have some skin in the game. I need to look Petrosky in the eye when I deliver his kid. That part’s critical. Can you imagine how invaluable having former Russian Spetsnaz rounding ou
He chuckles menacingly. “Oh, if only you’d been so reasonable when we approached you three months ago.”Madison eyes cut me like daggers.“Listen you miserable piece of shit!” she shouts into the phone. “I will come down there and disembowel you like the—” I clamp a hand over Madison’s mouth lest gi
Nonetheless, as a happily married woman, I’m completely immune to his charms.Happily? Up until three days ago, I’d say, yes! Exceedingly so.
