BAILEE I didn’t know the girl, but all day, I felt like I needed to call Vivian and apologize again for blowing her up like that, even though we had cleared the air back at the house. My careless accusation had caused her to get dumped and to fear for the security of her job within seconds of ea
BAILEE “I don’t think those are considered fan pages, then,” I mumbled instinctively, and Ben held my stare for a long moment before the corner of his mouth turned up, and he chuckled. “Yeah, I guess you’re right.” “I’m really sorry you are having to go through that,” I said, walking forward an
Ben stilled, looking down at what he had just packed for a long moment before realizing I was being sarcastic. “Very funny. Look, I leave tomorrow, and I don’t want to forget anything or run out. If the press catches me leaving the facility and running to the store for anything, they will spin it an
ALEXANDER My knee bounced as I stared at the garage door, waiting for her to open it and enter the kitchen. I didn’t like that she was supposed to be on bed rest, yet she was still going to work and driving around. At the very least, I wanted my driver to take her wherever she wanted to go, but s
BAILEE My body stilled as my hand closed around the small velvet box in his pocket. Everything in me was telling me to take it out. I needed to confirm that it was what I suspected, but I was also terrified that I would be wrong. What if I was just getting my hopes up, and it was just a pair of
BAILEE Alex was surprisingly calm for a man who potentially left an engagement ring in the jacket he just asked me to search. Hell, he was even whistling as he got into the shower that night, and I immediately pulled out my phone and dialed Lacey while he was busy, breathing a sigh of relief when
BAILEE Alex was extraordinarily happy that night and the following day. He didn’t stop smiling until we reached Ben’s house to say goodbye. Only then did his good mood fade. As soon as I saw Ben was already by his car, about to put his suitcase in, I jumped out of ours and rushed to unbuckle Br
EPILOGUE “If you get on one knee without a ring in your hands, one more time, I am going to kill you.” I hissed, narrowing my eyes at Alex. We had already been on the cover of hundreds of magazines. They seemed to get as much of a kick out of this as he did. Each time, there was one page with him
HAVEN “Let me get this straight because I’m having difficulty understanding,” Suzie said, standing behind her desk with both hands palm down on it as she glared at me in the visitor’s chair. “One of our biggest clients of all time, the owner’s best friend, just left my gym on the verge of tears, an
HAVEN I watched as the blood left his face, his cheeks turning a chalky white. The sight was too much. He was wearing his heart on his sleeve, and I was ripping it off and stomping on it. His hands shook as he lifted them and shoved his fingers into his hair. My eyes closed, unable to continue
HAVEN Ben went through the motions of each exercise, counting each set, not arguing that he could do more than I asked him to, and had yet to make any sarcastic or inappropriate remarks. It was oddly uncomfortable to see him like this. Ben was the kind of man who would drop everything at a momen
BEN My fingers tapped against the machine I was leaning on as I waited for Haven. I didn’t like how she left, but I was eager about the conversation she promised me. The serious tone and her obvious anxiety had me excited. There were only two things that I could think of that would make her so an
HAVEN “Rob,” I breathed, gasping in shock as he grabbed my elbow and pulled me to the corner of the lobby behind the decorative pillar. He had always hated when I called him by his first name. He felt that someone as lowly as an assistant should show him the respect he believed he had earned by n
HAVEN I had barely made it to work on time and was panting by the time I ran inside, went down to the lounge to drop off my things in my locker, grabbed my tablet, and got back upstairs to the gym, where Ben was supposed to be waiting. Thankfully, he was there and didn't look angry that I was lat
HAVEN I had been ecstatic that Ben hadn’t been in the lobby when I left with Siri. Bonnie had gone up before us to check, and when she said he had left, I almost felt like I should thank him the next time I saw him. He had every opportunity to corner me with her and try to push the matter, but
BEN “You’re going back up?” Mason said, and I let out a deep breath and nodded. “It would be too hard to see her and not say anything. Plus, if I’m just staring at her, it might scare her.” I said, regretting the decision as soon as I made it, but I also knew that if I stayed down here, I would
HAVEN “She will be fine. I promise.” Bonnie said as I brushed the hair over Siri’s cheek to get it out of her face while she fought the urge to fall asleep on the break room couch. “I know she will. You are a good aunt. I’m not worried about leaving her with you.” I said, forcing a smile at my bes
