MasukHello Loves, just wanted to come here and thank all of you for your opinion. I think I'll extend Gabriel's story a little bit because originally a few things were supposed to happen but I cut them out. We will still get Emma because she needs to mend her relationship most importantly with Gunner, Calvin also needs a bit of healing and so does Ava when it comes to the Sharps... Alot of you also talked about Sierra. The reason why she seems familiar to Harper will be revealed in her own book with Noah and not this one. Anyway, I wanted to thank you all for your input, I greatly appreciate it. Have a lovely weekend. Regular updates resume on Monday since I rest on weekends. Lots of love.😍❤️

The pain is consuming watching her now while knowing I’m the reason she once looked hollow… it’s unbearable.“Fuck,” I mutter under my breath, gripping the glass so tightly it digs into my palm.I used to think it was her loss... That hurting me and losing me was her punishment... And I clung to tha
When I pulled back, I scanned the bleachers smug and proud and that’s when I saw Sierra sitting there, frozen.Lilly’s hand wrapped tightly around hers as tears slid down her cheeks silently as she watched me celebrate with someone else.I remember that look. The look of someone who had been broken,
NOAH.I stand at the far end of the backyard, a glass hanging loosely from my fingers as my eyes lock onto Sierra.The garden is strung with warm lights, laughter floating through the air as family and close friends mingle.This is a little celebration her mother arranged to celebrate Sierra winning
Jocelyn’s attorney stands. “Objection. There is no proof that this dinner had anything to do with proprietary information.”Kerry turns slightly toward him. “You’re correct, counsel. A dinner alone proves nothing.”She clicks again and the screen changes.“Which is why we obtained the corresponding
“Mom…” My throat burns. “I don’t want anything happening to you. Why can’t you understand that?” “And why can’t you understand,” she whispers, tears thickening her voice, “that I would gladly lay down my life if it meant keeping you safe?” Something in me breaks then. My breath catches as tears sl
Sierra freezes while my chest tightens with disbelief.“I didn’t! I wasn’t even in the house until this afternoon,” she says, calm but tense, her voice steady with anger.Brook sneers, taking a couple of steps down, her presence like a live wire. “You’re lying. If I hadn’t been quick enough, I would
I’m still vibrating with anger when I reach the hallway. Anger at Brook’s lies, at myself, at Chloe for dying, and at the whole fucking situation. I’m so angry it almost feels suffocating.That first time, I thought that maybe it was a one-time thing. I thought that maybe it was the shock of finding
Without another word, Lilly grabs her phone and dials. I can hear the faint ring, then Noah’s voice low, calm and controlled.“Where are you?” she asks.“In my study,” he replies.My head snaps up. He’s here? He’s been here this whole time? I didn’t even know he was home. He didn’t text, didn’t knoc
