Willow’s POV

“Dallas?” I asked. “Are you sure?”

Dallas was one of our most successful franchise locations. But all the negative reviews were coming from people who had purchased our product in Dallas?

“Positive,” Adonis said, flopping himself down on the couch and reaching for a cup of egg nog.

“But that’s Belle’s store,” I said. “I don’t understand.”

“I don’t either,” Adonis told me. “Something’s definitely going on there though.”

Puzzled, my mind raced. Belle was one of our top choices for franchisee. Her proposal was wonderful. She came from a good family, loved our product, and fit our brand perfectly. At least, she did according to her proposal.

Taking out my phone, I dialed the store number in Dallas.

“Who are you calling?” Adonis asked.

“Belle,” I replied.

I needed to speak to her myself. Maybe there was some sort of explanation for all of this.

But the phone rang and rang, and then went to a message stating that the store was currently closed. Stunned, I hung up.

  • Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back   Chapter 426: Security!

    Willow’s POVI stared at Beatrice lying face first on the table, completely gob smacked. The scene had drawn the attention from all the tables around us. All eyes were on us as Beatrice slowly stood up. Her hand was cut from the glass she’d smashed, and her cheeks were flushed red from embarrassment.But her eyes burned with an anger I’d never seen before. Her chest had food smeared all over it and gravy dripped from her hair and eyelashes.“Oh my god,” I whispered. “Beatrice, I didn’t mean to…” My voice trailed off as I spoke. I don’t know what had come over me. She’d pushed me to a breaking point and I’d completely lost control of myself. Humiliated by my own display, my lips quivered.Luigi stood up and came to my side just as Franklin rushed over, grabbing Beatrice by the arm.“She assaulted me!” Beatrice hissed, pointing her finger at me. “You all saw it! She punched me in the face! Someone call the authorities!’Her face was haughty, her voice tight.“I…I’m sorry…” I started but

  • Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back   Chapter 425: My Festive Dress

    Willow’s POVWe took our seats at the table, across from Beatrice and Franklin Fundle. I had to admit, the fact that we were sitting with the two of them was weighing on us pretty heavily.But I was determined to take the high road, and to have a good night. Besides, there were other nominees at our table, so we could, in essence, simply ignore them.Everyone else also began taking their seats for the five course plated dinner. Throughout the dinner, guests could make their way over to the wine table and pick up glasses of any wine they wanted, all compliments of the event.Luigi brought us all the Wine Not red blend, and I pretended to sip mine as the first course was served. Beatrice laughed obnoxiously, drawing eyes from everyone at the table in her direction.“Pardon me,” she said, setting down her wine. “Franklin here just said the funniest thing though. Tell them, Franklin. Tell them what you just told me.”With an arrogant smile, Franklin launched into a story about a buyer and

  • Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back   Chapter 424: Franklin Fundle

    Willow’s POV“Surprised is not the word I’d use,” I seethed.I couldn’t believe it. What was Beatrice doing at the wine awards? The last time I’d seen her was in Dallas, right after I’d found out that she’d messed with my holiday necklace line.My heart dropped. Was I destined to just keep running into her? This was a special night. Luigi and Logan’s night. Everything had been going perfectly.And now?Narrowing my eyes, I glared at her.“Why are you here?” Luigi said, protectively putting his arm across me.“I was invited,” Beatrice quipped.“By whom?” Adonnis seethed.“A gentleman friend,” Beatrice said.“One of your tricks?” Adonis snapped. His insult caused Beatrice’s smile to drop momentarily.“No,” she said. “I don’t do that anymore.”“You mean, you don’t have sex with men for money anymore? I find that hard to believe. You know what they say. Once a whore, always a whore.”“Adonis,” I said, shooting him a look to tell him to be quiet. The last thing I wanted was to make a scene

  • Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back   Chapter 423: The Excitement Builds

    Luigi’s POVI really did feel like the luckiest man on the planet as the limo pulled into the red carpet entrance of the wine awards. I had the most beautiful woman at my side, and a very special award nestled inside my suit pocket.Logan was with me too, and the fact that he and I were celebrating this night together meant a lot to me. Logan was bristling with excitement like a little child on Christmas morning. This wasn’t my first Wine Awards. I’d been nominated before, mostly for my red blends. But this was Logan’s first time at the awards, and I was happy to share it with him.Just as I was glad that Adonis and Jay were also with us. We’d secured some extra tickets, and who better to bring along than Adonis and Jay? They were like family to us. My only lament was that Benjamin couldn’t be there. He would have loved the event. But he was there in spirit.So, surrounded by the people that I adored most in the world, we stepped out of the limo and right into the flashing lights of th

  • Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back   Chapter 422: Best Award Ever

    Willow’s POVPausing at the front door, Luigi and I exchanged a puzzled look. We’d already said goodbye to the kiddos for the night, but now Carl emerged in the foyer, his eyes wide. Mira and Leo were both close behind him.“Wait,” Carl called out.“It’s okay, we’re waiting,” I said to Carl as he came dashing towards us. “What is it, love? Is everything okay?”Concerned that something was wrong, both Luigi and I looked at the children with perplexed expressions.“You can’t go with this,” Carl said, proudly holding out a card to Luigi.“What’s this?” Luigi asked, kneeling down to Carl’s eye level.“Open it,” Mira said, her cheeks flush with excitement. “It’s from all of us.”Pressing his lips together, Luigi looked at me. “Do you know anything about this?” he asked. I shook my head.“Come on, open it,” Carl encouraged Luigi. Luigi peeled back the envelope and pulled out a piece of paper. Unfolding it, he sighed an appreciative sigh.“What is it?” I asked. He handed it to me.“It’s an aw

  • Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back   Chapter 421: Pink Lines

    Willow’s POVI stared at the pink lines in utter disbelief. Then I glanced up at the other three pregnancy tests I’d taken, all with the same results.Positive. Every single one of them.Sitting on the bathroom floor, as my shock dissipated, a wave of excitement washed over me. I’d bought the tests a few days ago, but I didn’t have the courage to take them.Why?Because I knew, deep down, that I would have been sad if they weren’t positive.From the moment my co-worker had uttered the words in the bathroom stall at our staff Christmas party, I’d wondered if it could be true. I’d wandered back to the table in a daze, pushing aside my glass of wine just in case.Then I’d gone straight to the pharmacy the next morning, bought four tests, and tucked them into my purse. And that’s where they’d stayed until now.I have no idea what possessed me to take the tests moments before we were supposed to leave for the Wine Awards, but something had come over me. I’d taken the first one before I’d go
