LOGINHi Loves, the next chapter will be from book two. Updates will start on Monday.
“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

The woman's back was turned to me, and so was that of Gunner. I didn’t have to worry about Calvin because he seemed to be smitten and was paying attention to everything the woman was saying, with a soft smile on his lips.Again, that uncomfortable feeling sinks deeper into me. Why did I feel like I
Lilly was staring at us, her eyes shifting from me to her father. I see the questions in them. The curiosity concerning me and Gabriel.Like I said, this wasn’t supposed to happen. I wasn’t supposed to be attracted to Gabriel after all these years apart. I honestly thought that I’d with my attractio
I try to pull my hand away, but it’s no use. He has it firmly in place, refusing to let go. His grip didn’t hurt, but it was tight enough that I couldn’t pull my hand out of his.“Harper” he warns when I try to pull my hand again.Why was he making this hard? Couldn’t he just let the issue go?“Ther
By the time we were leaving, I had my emotions under control.I didn’t want to admit it, but my attraction to Gabriel was still there. It’s been years. Almost a decade and yet, it took so little for him to get me excited.I hated that. Hated it because while I was married to Liam, it took a bit of c
