From Lies To Loyalty Ready Or Not
Chapter 100: Ready Or Not Reese That WeekendFake pregnancy belly.That was Lizzie’s newest obsession, and she was fully committed.I picked up one of the several silicone prosthetics lying on the bed next to her dress and our matching masks for the night. This particular one wasn’t too prominent. A subtle, early-second-trimester curve. She had bought multiple versions in different stages, each more convincing than the last. The woman was nothing if not thorough.We were already running late for the masquerade ball, but Lizzie was still in the bathroom doing her makeup. She had insisted on testing one of the bellies tonight. She wanted to see how many people, including my father, would be fooled.I didn’t have much say in the matter. She had already purchased them, and once Lizzie set her mind on something, there was no stopping her. Honestly, a twisted part of me was curious too. I wanted to see what she would look like pregnant. Because the real thing wasn’t happening anytime s
From Lies To Loyalty I Value You
Chapter 99: I Value YouReese I don't know what terrified me the most when she finally turned around.Was it the way she was looking at me — quiet, unreadable, eyes? Was it the crumpled letter she clutched tightly in her hand? Or the sickening realization that I had hurt her for the very first time, and the wound ran deep?Shame burned up my throat. I was embarrassed—truly, gut-wrenchingly ashamed—that she had seen that video. The animalistic version of me from two years ago, fucking Penelope like the world was ending. That moment would haunt me for the rest of my life, and now it would haunt her too.I didn’t know what to say. She was obviously waiting for me to speak, but the words got stuck in my throat. So we both just stood there on the balcony in heavy silence.Lizzie stood silhouetted against the glittering skyline, arms wrapped tightly around herself, shoulders tense. The night wind tugged at her robe and hair.My past, utilized. My mistakes, dressed up as yesterday’s betray
From Lies To Loyalty Diamonds Were Universal
Chapter 98: Diamonds Were Universal Reese It was a little after nine when I finally decided to call it a day. My back ached, my shirt was soaked with sweat, and my head throbbed from twelve straight hours of chaos. I was fucking spent.Frank, one of my best workers, had fallen off a ladder yesterday while installing new lighting fixtures above the main bar. He crashed straight through a glass table. The shard that sliced into his neck had been millimeters from severing an artery. If Marcus hadn’t been right there to apply pressure and call the ambulance, Frank might not have made it. The image of all that blood still haunted me.I rode with him to the hospital. I watched them stitch him up. Listened to the doctor explain the compensation paperwork, the liability forms, the endless bureaucratic nightmare that came with owning a place like this. By the time I signed the last document and shook the man’s hand, promising the best care money could buy, I was done. Hollowed out. I just
From Lies To Loyalty Outsmarting The Patriarch
Chapter 97: Outsmarting The Patriarch Lizzie After days of procrastination fueled by pure terror of the unknown, I finally enrolled in my second degree. Psychology, online, part-time. I had Reese to thank for that—if I was being honest, he had practically forced my hand. He sat beside me one evening, laptop open, refusing to move until I clicked “Submit.”The strangest thing had been the fact that I had a new name now. I wasn't just Elizabeth Marie Foster now. I was Elizabeth Marie Foster Blackwood. Still can't believe it though. I didn’t have any live classes at the moment, so I was completely free for now. The coursework wasn’t nearly as overwhelming as I had feared. Turns out Reese had been right all along. I had been scared of nothing but my own overthinking.The suite was quiet this afternoon. Almost too quiet. Reese had left early again, just like yesterday. No emergency this time, but the bar demanded his constant attention. Opening night was next month, and every detail
From Lies To Loyalty Masks On
Chapter 96: Masks On Lizzie Three days had passed since the tense breakfast with Reginald. And a day had passed since I discovered the playroom. Both of which were still very much heavy on my mind. But tonight, none of that mattered.Reese moved above me in the dark, our bodies tangled beneath the cool silk sheets. My period was long gone, and the relief of having him inside me again—bare, with nothing between us—was overwhelming. The implant made this possible, and for the first time, I was going to feel him finish inside me.He'd returned looking exhausted, clothes rumpled. And basically pinned me to the bed. Each powerful stroke stretched me wider until my hips ached in the most delicious way. His weight pressed me down into the mattress, owning me. The sheets draped over us like a cocoon, creating a private, heated world where only our ragged breaths and the wet sound of skin meeting skin existed.“Reese…” I moaned, my nails digging into his back.He grunted in response, driv
From Lies To Loyalty Rich People Are Freaky
Chapter 95: Rich People Are Freaky Lizzie“Remind me again who the hell I’m on the phone with?” Kira’s voice was thick with disbelief, the familiar chaos of her tavern shift clinking and shouting in the background.I rolled my eyes, laughing as I paced the living room. “I ran away from home and got married. And yes… I’m pregnant.”There was a long pause. I could practically hear Kira’s brain short-circuiting.“Wow,” she finally breathed out. “You’re a lot crazier than I am. And I’m the certified crazy bitch in this friendship.”I laughed again. “It was unexpected.”“Lizzie, are you being held at gunpoint?” she asked suddenly, voice dropping to a dramatic whisper. “Maybe you’ve been kidnapped by a mafia boss or something. Is he forcing you to say this because he knows I’ve been looking for you?”I couldn’t hold back the laughter that bubbled out of me. God, I had missed her unhinged energy. “Hell no, Kira. My husband is hotter and sexier than any mafia boss.”“Lizzie, you can talk to
From Lies To Loyalty Prison Orange
Chapter 19: Prison Orange LizzieI hadn’t seen Reese again. Not after what had happened between us earlier.The thought kept circling my mind like an annoying fly that refused to die, buzzing somewhere just behind my ribs, impossible to swat away. I didn’t know if he was still in the house or if h

Chapter 17: Was I? Reese “Elizabeth accepted the invite. She’s coming to the party.” Lauren delivered the news with a bright, almost triumphant smile that immediately set my nerves on edge. I froze mid-button, fingers stilled on the third fastening of my charcoal shirt. The fabric suddenly fe

Chapter 8: Focus, Reese Reese By the time we pulled into the underground parking garage of our high-rise apartment building, the tension in the car had thickened to an almost unbearable density. I'd reached my absolute limit—and rightfully so. Not the usual kind of irritation I was used to deal
