LOGINThe sound of her heels echoed softly against the floor, swallowed whole by the sterile silence of the prison hallway. Each step felt like it was slowly bringing her closer to hell, but her back stayed straight and her head stayed high. She passed rows of locked doors, steel bars and bored guards, an
Three Months Later The fabric was soft against my skin, and so breathtaking that I couldn’t take my eyes off it. I sat in front of the vanity, my hands folded in my lap and trying to breathe evenly as the stylist added one final pin to my hair. I'd always thought I'd cry on my wedding day, but I ha
I was still holding Ethan's hand when the door creaked open again. At first, I thought it was a nurse or maybe a detective back with some update about Marcus's arraignment. But then I saw a cane, and a face I hadn't expected to ever see again. Richard Jones. Ethan froze beside me as he stepped int

Something about being away on a beautiful island really lets your soul breathe. Especially after the suffocating past few weeks, I couldn’t be happier being out here in Santorini. The resort was beautiful, with a spa that Ethan and I immediately took advantage of, going for a couple’s massage. By
On the day of our Santorini trip, I woke up with the worst headache in the history of mankind. It felt like someone was trying to split my skull in half, and a wave of nausea came over me. I didn’t know what exactly was happening to me, so I downed some aspirin and forced a smile to myself. But th
If only how knew how wrong I was to assume that. The onslaught continued for several days. It was as if everyone had collectively decided that they were going to make my life miserable, and the result was that the whole internet turned against me. There were several memes they’d made to mock me, s
One thing I'd never really gotten used to was the idea of just how famous the Reynards were. And a byproduct of that was that any action someone in the family took, it was bound to cause shockwaves all over the internet and the media.
