LOGIN“Anyway,” Lilly drawls, stretching, “where were you headed just now?”“Breakfast.”“Oh good,” she claps her hands. “I’m starving, but we’re not going downstairs. We’ll just have our meal here.”I don’t argue. Just seeing Noah earlier feels like it drained every ounce of energy from my soul.After br
Sierra.“Uhm… hello?” I say, leaning back against the wall.The scene unfolding in front of me is eerily similar to yesterday except this time, Lilly is here. She’d told me before she left that she was heading to the meeting and would be back before I woke up so we could plan something to do.Appare
The words are right there on my tongue. Every reason why I would never, not in this lifetime, give her a chance... But then everything inside me freezes.I try to fight the thoughts. Try to bury them, to forget them, but they keep resurfacing like an unwanted fucking rash.My hand clenches. My heart
I clench my teeth, my hands fisting at my sides. My stare bores into her, but it does nothing to wipe the fucking smile off Juliett’s face. If anything, it only seems to encourage her because it widens.“If it isn’t the Ashthorne heiress,” Lilly drawls, folding her arms across her chest.Juliett’s s

“Your actions and bad attitude got you fired. Don’t blame your damn mistakes on me.”“It’s you fault. If you hadn’t come here, none of these things would have happened.”I was to slow to respond, so when she launches at me and strikes, I'm taken by surprise.I stumble before righting myself up. I wa
Emma.I was in the kitchen having breakfast, but my food wouldn’t go down easily. Every time I tried to swallow it would get stuck because of how nervous and anxious I was.“Are you okay?” my mother asks when I finally give up and let the fork and knife drop from my hands.“I don’t know mom, I’m ner
The rest of dinner is silent. He did owe me an apology, but I didn’t know what to say. If I am being honest, I never thought that Gabriel would ever apologize to me. So, to have him doing it and, while being sincere, has left me speechless.We finish dinner and call downstairs for them to come pick
Just like the past few mornings, I wake up with Gabriel’s hand on my breast. I don’t know what it is about him, but for some weird reason this always happens.We would be travelling back home today and I’m not sure on how to feel about that. Yesterday I crossed a line when I allowed him to go down o
