LOGINSerenaIt has been a few days, but we haven’t heard a thing. If we still haven’t heard from anyone within the next couple of days, I will be paying them a visit to see what is going on. Clearly, they must still be working on things because we would have heard by now if anyone had been taken in or arrested. It would have been all over the news or one of them would have paid us a visit. None of that has happened. We are just going about our days normally the best we can. I still have no idea if Felicty has left Henry or not. Basically, we are no further along as of yet. We are trying not to let it gets to us, but sometimes that is easier said than done. Conall has been burying himself in work, that is his way of dealing with it. I am been doing the same, but it means we aren’t getting as much together, but it is a process and that is fine.I just finished with my day and heading to Conall’s office. I want to make sure he doesn’t work late into the night. I want him to come home, well, t
ConallI sigh as we leave the police station. It is going to be a waiting game now to see what happens. We gave them everything. Told them everything, and now we can’t do anything else until they take the next step. If they take the next step. I have no idea who they have in their pocket, but it doesn’t matter either way because if they don’t do something about it, we will find someone else who will.“I know it is a stressful time, my love, but we have done everything we can, and now we just need to wait. Let’s go get some food and coffee, try not to think about it too much.” Serena says softly, resting her hand on the small of my back.I turn to her. “Yes, good idea. Thank you for coming with me.” I reply and reach in, kissing her softly.“I will always be here for you, Conall, in the same way you have been there for me. We are in this together, no matter what happens. I promise.”“Always.”The sooner all of this is over, the better. We can get on with our lives, maybe move away and
SerenaI am enjoying a coffee and reading when Conall comes running in, as if he is on a mission. What has gotten him so worked up?“Conall, are you okay? Did something happen?”“I need my laptop.”There is something going on because he always says hello with a kiss before doing anything else. He doesn’t seem stressed. It is something else. He rushes to his bedroom before I have a chance to say another word. I sit, confused and wait for his return to find out what is going on. A moment later, he comes rushing back through and takes a seat next to me, setting up his laptop, without saying another word.“Conall, what is going on?”“I will tell you in a second. I need to check this first before I get my hopes up.” He doesn’t even look at me as he answers, something else he never does. He always makes eye contact when he talks to me.I notice a flash drive in his hand. Conall’s leg bounces up and down, anxious to see whatever is on it. I let him focus because, by the sounds of it, he expe
ConallI am sitting in my office, busy, trying to finish up for the day. I don’t want another late night. I am eager to get home to Serena, who is waiting for me at mine. I should be done soon. A knock at my office door makes me look up, and the last person I expected to see is standing there. Felicty! What the hell is she doing here? I cautiously call for her to come in. She seems hesitant, but opens the door and comes in, slowly walking towards my desk. She seems nervous, worried even, which is confusing me even more.“Felicity, what are you doing here?” I ask with a raised brow.Has Henry pulled her into some part of his plan? Sighing, she takes a seat on the other side of my desk, eyes down. “I need to talk to you, it is important, but no one can know my reason for being here.”If she doesn’t want anyone to see her here, then why come to my office, where most people know who she is?“Has Henry sent you? Is this some part of the plan?”She lifts her head to look at me and shakes he
SerenaI have told Conall I have gone out to deal with some business. Just not the business he thinks. I have a meeting with a PI to help me get the proof I need to determine who is responsible for the attack. I am paying him a fortune because he goes above and beyond and doesn’t do everything exactly by the book when he is on a case, and that is what I need. I have the details of Henry and his father's banks, their addresses and everything else I could get my hands on without anyone knowing what I was doing. He is going to hack into all the security in the surrounding area, too. Yes, I know the police are on it, but in case they don’t do anything or find what they need, this is another option. I hate lying to Conall about it, but if I told him what I planned on doing, he wouldn’t allow it. He would try to talk me out of it. I still plan to pay Henry and his father a visit to see if they will admit to anything, but that won’t be an easy thing, so for now, I can only hope the PI can ge
ConallIt’s been a week since my attack. We gave the police everything, but they have no leads. I never expected much. I’m restless staying home and away from work. I’m healing; my ribs hurt. I could do more, but Serena and my mother insist I take it easy. They’re protective. I appreciate their care, but there should be limits. I’m not fragile—just a couple of cracked ribs. It’s hard not to get annoyed, since they only want the best for me.Today I’ll finally get some time alone. Mom works, and Serena has a meeting and groceries. I’m looking forward to it—it’s what I need before I lose patience with them.“Are you sure you will be okay?” Serena asks as she enters the room, dressed in business attire.“Yes, I will be fine. I am going to get some work done.”I’m not ready for the office yet, but I want to work from home.She sighs. “Okay, don’t overdo it. I’ll bring lunch. Don’t do anything stupid just because you’re alone. I don’t want you getting hurt,” she says firmly.I stop myself
SerenaIt is after midnight when we leave Conall’s mom’s place. We didn’t plan to stay so late, but we lost track of time. I am so thankful she doesn’t hate me because I was married into that horrible family for a long time. Conall’s mom is the sweetest, and that makes me hate them even more for wh
Conall“Conall, is this such a good idea? Does your mother really want to be around me since I was part of the family that ruined her life for a long time?” Serena asks.I told my mom that I had been spending a lot of time with Serena. She didn’t know how to react at first, but I soon made her real
SerenaI made sure I was up earlier than Conall. I want to go out and get us some breakfast. Yes, we fixed everything out last night, but I sense he is still slightly annoyed with me for doing what I did. No, annoyed isn’t the right word. He was worried. I get that, but he has nothing to worry about
SerenaI told Conall I was going home when I left him. I am not. I have another stop to make first. If my ex-father-in-law wants to threaten me, he can do it to my face rather than through other people like the coward he is. He isn't getting away with threatening Conall either. I hop in my car and d
