INICIAR SESIÓNThe 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

The worst thing about letting someone else handle your business was that you would never know what's actually going on behind the scenes. The silence was suffocating, and I constantly felt like I should be doing something. But every time I brought it up, Ethan reassured me that he was handling ever
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
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. Barely 24 hours had gone past since Ethan became the sole owner
MARCUS Summer was in the air. I could feel it in the way the wind shifted, and the warmth that suddenly filled the apartment. I could feel it in the way New York suddenly buzzed with an unmatched energy, and you could just feel that everyone was getting ready to kick back and relax. As for me, I
