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

Noah.“Daddy,” Nova calls, “is Sierra with you?”I have a few minutes before the meeting, so I decide to call the twins since I couldn’t last night.Thanks to the time difference, it’s evening back home, which is perfect timing. The last thing I want is to mess with their sleep schedule.“Why do you
Taking a deep breath, I tried to separate myself from the memories of that night. It had been the best night of my life, but what followed after nearly destroyed me. “I asked you who you had drunk with. You told me it was Rowan. You then told me how you were hurting seeing your brother so broken an
“Why the hell did I let you convince me to go out for lunch?” I grumbled as I watched the landscape flash by us.It’s been a long time since I’ve been outside our family estate. I think the last time I was outside was when I attended Ava’s wedding. To be honest, I’d been shocked when she invited me.
“Yeah, what uncle Gabe said... Mom wouldn’t run; she’s excited about marrying you again. Her happiness is so sweet, it’s enough to give someone a sugar rush.” He gives me a smirk, one that is eerily similar to mine and that of Gabe. I was about to say something when the wedding march began. Standi
I spot Rowan the moment we get inside. Just like his brother, he was in a black suit. We get at the front of the chapel just as the priest walks in.“Hello, Harper,” Rowan greeted politely, with a welcoming smile.I’m totally shocked. He was completely transformed—nothing like the Rowan I remember.
