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

Rowan. The date was nothing but perfect. If I had my way, it wouldn’t have ended. Every moment I spent with her was heaven, and I wish I’d done this sooner. I honestly don’t know why I never gave myself a chance to be happy with Ava. It bugs me that we could have been happy all these years if only
I sigh in relief. Finally, I was able to prove that Emma isn’t as evil as others believed. My head was killing me, and I just wanted to sleep. “Are we done now?” I asked Brian. “Can I leave? And can she be released?” “Yes. As for Emma, she’ll have to wait a little bit in order for us to process he
Gabe. It’s been a week since I met Harper again after years of distance. I never thought that I would seek her out, but life has a funny way of twisting things. When we got divorced, I thought, ‘Good riddance’. I’d wanted her gone, and the moment that chance came, I didn’t think twice. I was happy
“Noah, it’s time to cut the cake.” I shout his name once I get outside. His head turns in my direction before he rushes towards me with a big smile on his mouth.
