“You should get some jewelry for yourself. I don't think you have enough.” Emery suggested while checking out a cute pink bag.

“I can just ask a worker to do that, why would I want to stress myself unnecessarily?” I pointed out, sitting cross legged on the bench and doing some business on my phone.

It had been over thirty minutes already.

Thirty minutes since the weird meeting with Dale and Sam.

Thinking back to that annoyed me slightly.

Dale still hadn't stopped this dominating aspect of his.

That was truly annoying

“What's the point of shopping if you're not going to do anything?” Emery frowned, placing a hand on her hip as she stared at me with that ‘elder sister’ look.

“I'm very busy.”

“So?” She huffed. “You're not the first human to work, you know. And who knows when next we'll do this. Just go take something to buy.”

To avoid listening to more of whatever she'd have to say, I hesitantly got up and left, letting my feet wander wherever it felt right.

    “What?” If I said I wasn't surprised, then that'd be a lie.Nora just shrugged, looking satisfied with herself. “I assumed you wouldn't have gotten an invite, so I thought, why not give you one.”What the heck?“Why do you think she'd want one?” Emery asked with a deep frown, clutching Donald behind her, though Nora didn't notice. Or probably just didn't care.“Because she's the one person who wants to stop my wedding from taking place. The only one who plans on stealing my man.” Her smile widened. “And I want her to be there. To watch Dale and I get married. See how she lost. And how no matter what, Dale and I will be a thing.”I found my fist clenching hard, jaw tightening. “You really don't have any shame, do you?”She let out a dry chortle. “Really? You're one to talk about shame? When you literally go around with a man that's scheduled to get married in a few days. Who is more shameless.”Anger bubbled in my chest, as I glared hard at her. “Girl, shut the fuck off. You're forcing

    ~ Sam ~It was two weeks to Nora's wedding so the Clint family decided to have one more family dinner with her still bearing out last name.I wasn't interested in attending initially, but then dad had strictly told me to. And of course, my dad was someone who must not be disobeyed.He was strict in his ways.And now we ate, mom making small talks while dad maintained the wealth aura around him.Nora was unusually quiet, but I liked it and didn't mention it.Ever since it was made certain that she and Dale would be getting married, her mouth took a new turn, forgetting how to shut up.It got irritating as time went by, so being beside her without any yapping was nice.Dad might not have seen it that way, because he asked. “You're quiet Nora, what's wrong?”Like she'd been waiting for that question, she broke straight into a sob, head falling to her folded arms on the table to cover her face.My elder brother instinct instantly kicked in, thoughts travelling to all the things that could

    “What's wrong?” I asked, getting in. “And where's Emery?”He had his arm folded. “She has to be somewhere so I'm staying with Dale.” His head shake let me know that wasn't the important part. “Whatever. We've got to talk.”“Okay?” I stopped by the couch, turning to where he still stood by the door, brows furrowed slightly.“Emery called to let me know you and Dale have gotten back together.” The words came with a frown.One that made my brows dip. “Huh?”“Is it really true you both are now together?” He asked again.“Well, I guess.” I wasn't sure what his definition of being ‘together’ was, but with the few times, I'd say what we had wasn't just ordinary business people. Or even friends.He was more than that. So I'd guess we were together.Cole scoffed, not at all looking pleased. “Seriously? Why? Why are you going back with me?”A deep crease had formed between my brows now. “I don't see how any of that has got anything to do with you.”Then my hand moved to my hip. “In fact, I need

    The next morning, I woke up to the sound of a shower from the bathroom.Dale was likely having his bath.My eyes glanced through the wall clock which read six forty one.With a stretch, I sat up, just as the shower stopped.He got out with a lower half wrapped in a towel, that it took so much effort for my eyes to not fall on his below enough for me to get the outline of his crotch.“Morning beauty.” I found a smile on my lips just by those words. “Good morning to you too.” Then I asked, “why are you bathing so early? Do you have to be somewhere?”“Yeah, Rita just called to let me know there's some work that needs my attention.” He shook his head. “I'd have loved to spend the morning here with you, but of course I've got to go.”A part of me groaned at that fact, because yeah, even I would have loved to spend the morning with him.However, I didn't voice my thoughts or make it evident in my expression.Instead, I got out of bed, not caring that I was still naked, as I went in search

    My lips parted, but rather than saying anything, they spread in a charmed smile.One that made him offer the most handsome smile I'd ever seen from any man.Woah.“I want to show you something.” He stood up, then stretched out a hand for me to take.Slowly, my hand lifted to his huge own, where he gently pulled me to my feet, but rather than dropping my hand, he intertwined our fingers.I stared at our hands, my cheeks warming, because when was the last time I held a guy.It felt so weird, but good at the same time.He led me out of the bar, then to his room.Wait, his room?I almost paused. The word ‘almost’ is used because I didn't.My mind, though, went on a scream mode.Really??What would happen in his room. Of course, I knew the answer to that.The main question should be, did I want it to?With the rate my heart was beating, and how my clits tightened as we got into his room, I had a feeling I might want exactly what being alone with him in the room could be.“What am I seeing?

    It all happened so fast that my brain had to take a second of processing before I registered the words well enough.Dale had his arm on me. In public at that. And was asking to be a listening ear.Wow.I wasn't even sure how to respond. What exactly was one to say in such a situation.His eyes bore into mine like he was searching for something.Something I had no idea of.“It's a long story.” My voice came out slightly exhausted, surprising me a little.“I'm ready to listen to it.” He dropped his hand from me, and I couldn't help but notice how much warmth stayed around the area. I raised a brow, knowing it most likely wouldn't make a lot of sense to talk to him about the problem going on.“No, it's okay.” I sighed that out instead. “Can you just get me anywhere we can have a drink and get drunk?”He didn't look pleased that I was refusing his offer of being a helping hand, but that was quickly swept from his expression as he nodded.“You can have a drink at the bar in my place.” Whe
