NEAR HIT

ISABELLA

There was a particular kind of courage that came from riding on the high alcohol gave. I was current riding on that high.

The anger was still there, burning hot in my chest. But underneath it, there was something else that was darker. Something that wanted to see how far I could push him before he broke.

You want to talk about what's yours?" I tilted my head, letting my lips curve into something that wasn't quite a smile. "You had me in my room, on my bed.. you had me shaking

    ARGUMENTS AND RECONCILIATIONSISABELLAI was still standing in the hallway when his voice filtered into my ears.Isabella.I turned to see Julien coming from the dining room, his footsteps echoing on the marble. I stood staring at him, remembering how to breathe.There you are." He reached me, his hand finding my arm. "I've been looking for you, where did you go?Nowhere.You were gone for a while." His eyes searched my face. "Is everything okay?I pulled my arm away. "I said I went nowhere."He blinked, taken aback by my tone. "Okay. I was just—"Can you give me a minute? Please?He hesitated as something crossed his face. But he nodded.I'll be in the room," he said. "Come find me when you're ready to talk.He walked away and I watched him go. For the first time in a long time, there was no guilt. Just pure irritation. And I couldn't bring myself to care.I

    THE TRUTH BETWEEN THEMALEXANDERI looked at Camille, observing her tear-streaked cheeks and the way she was holding herself together like glass about to shatter. She wanted the truth, and she deserved it.But what truth was she asking for?Anything," I said. "Ask me anything.She was quiet for a moment, her fingers tightening around the glass. She set it down on the windowsill and turned to face me fully.Why does she make me feel like this?" She asked, her voice barely a whisper. "Mum. Why does she have the power to undo me in five minutes? I haven't seen her in years, and countless times, I've told myself I didn't care, that I was over it. And then she shows up, smiling, calling me ma chérie. And I'm twelve years old again, begging her to stay.I reached for her hand, taking it in mine.Because she's your mother," I said. "And no matter how old you get, no matter how many years pass, that never stops matterin

    THE WEIGHT OF A DAUGHTER'S TEARS ALEXANDER I pushed back from the table before the last word had left Élise's mouth. Alexander, you haven't finished your breakfast." Her voice was sweet and concerned, like the voice of a woman who had never been anything but thoughtful. "Is something wrong? I didn't give her a response, I just couldn't. If I opened my mouth, I would say something I couldn't take back. And I wasn't about to be dragged back to court by her and have my words used against me. Without another glance, I walked out of the dining room into the hallway. I gnashed my jaw as I walked without stopping until I reached my study. Closing the door behind me, I stood there, breathing slowly and trying to force the anger down. Guess what? Yeah… it didn't work. Moving my feet, I walked to my desk and sat behind it. I pulled out my phone from my pocket, unlocked it and scrolled to Bernard's contact before pressing call. He answered on the third ring. “Mr Moreau. Is everything oka

    JUST ENOUGH TO DRIVE ME INSANE ALEXANDER How do you explain how you feel about a woman you shouldn't even be feeling for at all? How do you explain that your chest constricts when you see her with another man and you want to chop his hand off? How do you explain to your daughter that you fell in love with her best friend. Yeah… it's a shitty situation to find yourself. And there is only one thing to do in situations like this… Just live in the fucking moment. Live until you're almost insane. My hands were firmly on her waist as I used my tongue to do wild things to get nipples. I could feel her shiver under my touch as her little moans slipped into my ears, making my dick even more harder than it already was. Her fingers dug into my hair again, pulling at the strands. From his much she was pulling, I was supposed to feel pain on my scalp. But I wasn't. One of my hands left her waist, trailing the skin down to her waist and in-between her legs. And God! She was dripping. Enough

    WHEN ANGER OVERRIDES SENSE ISABELLA That simple greeting from such a complicated woman like Elise should give you the hint that this was about the be the most chaotic breakfast of the summer. And God knows I can't take any more chaos than the chaos that has been thrown at me since the last 24 hours. I made breakfast," she announced, gesturing at the spread. "Eggs, fresh fruit, pastries from that bakery you used to love, Camille. Remember? When you were little, we used to go there every Sunday. Camille's face stretched into a tight smile. "I remember." I woke up early to prepare everything, I wanted this morning to be special." Élise reached across the table and covered Camille's hand with her own. "I've missed so many mornings with you, ma chérie. I want to make up for lost time. Camille's eyes flickered, something passing over her face. I couldn't tell if it was longing or grief. She forced a smile. "That's... nice. Thank you." Élise's gaze lingered on her daughter for a mome

    THE MORNING AFTERISABELLAI woke to sunlight, the bright, golden glare of mid-morning, streaming through the curtains and cutting across the bed to warm my face. I blinked, disoriented, my mind still foggy with sleep.Alexander's arm was wrapped around my waist, his chest pressed against my back, his breath warm on my neck. His body was curled around mine, just the way he'd been holding me all night.And that's when it clicked.I jolted awake.Shit!" I sat up too fast, my heart hammering as my eyes went wide. The room was bright, and the clock on his nightstand read 8:47 AM.Alexander stirred beside me, his arm falling away. He made a low sound, something between a groan and a hum, and his hand reached out blindly, finding my thigh.What's wrong?" His voice was thick with sleep, the kind of voice that belonged behind closed curtains and red rooms.My stomach flipped, the voice sending waves through my
