Love, Lies, and I Do 90- Tahiti Escapades
“There are only two things in this world that I would apply the word love to when describing my feelings.”“What’s that, girl?” Vanessa replied into the speaker of her phone, as she packed her bags for a much-needed vacation with her husband and friends.” “Number one, I love my friends and family.”“Ah, how sweet of you, India, same here.” “I know our dynamics are weird. But I honestly think of you and Marcus as an extension of my family. We have been through so much over these years. A disastrous wedding that was almost ruined, and through sniffles, sighs, and a few congrats, we found true love.” “Well, I couldn’t ask for better friends than you and Denver. You guys have been so supportive of Marcus and me, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have you both as our friends.”“Ah, Vanessa, how touching. Well, we have two great husbands, and the word makes me giddy and a little thrilled after these years every time I hear it.” “I know, doesn’t it? But I will really be giddy once the t
Love, Lies, and I Do 89 - Power Shifts
Denver paced in his new office, which was Marcus’s old one. The soft hum of the city filters through the windows. They swapped offices since Marcus had been using his for the two months he had been away. His office feels like the center of the universe—his universe. Now, as Vice President, this space feels a size too small, as if the walls had crept closer, quietly reminding him that the corner office upstairs belonged to Marcus, for now.He couldn’t deny it: Marcus was good. Too good. The staff seemed to light up in his presence, eager to impress, relaxed in a way Denver had never seen before. Marcus had a knack for making people feel heard, like what they did really mattered. Denver prided itself on efficiency and results, but Marcus? Marcus was all about connection.It grated. Denver tried to tell himself he was being paranoid, that he should be grateful the company wasn’t falling apart without him at the helm. But every time Marcus stopped by with a new directive or suggestion,
Love, Lies, and I Do 88 - The Old Wounds
Vanessa paced her kitchen, the phone pressed to her ear. The baby monitor crackled on the counter, Virgil’s soft babbling a background soundtrack to her rising frustration. She was tired—tired of the tension at home, tired of the awkwardness between Marcus and Denver, tired of feeling like her family was stuck in someone else’s drama.She had tried to let it go, to be the patient wife, but after three sleepless nights and too many anxious glances from Marcus, she couldn’t keep it in anymore. She dialed India’s number with determined fingers, her heart thumping louder than Virgil’s fussing.India answered on the second ring, her voice warm but cautious. “Hey, Vanessa. Is everything okay?”“Can we talk? I need to know—do you think Denver’s holding a grudge against Marcus?” Vanessa blurted, her words tumbling out in a rush.There was a pause, then a gentle sigh from India. “Do you want me to come over, or should I meet you somewhere?”Vanessa hesitated. “Here’s fine. I just… I don’t know
Love, Lies, and I Do 87 - Friendships On The Rocks
Marcus’s keys clattered into the bowl by the door, announcing his return like a warning bell. The evening light filtered through the windows, painting the walls gold, but he barely noticed. His jaw was tight, his thoughts racing with the sting of Denver’s distrust, the memory of signing that contract replaying in his mind like a scene he couldn’t escape.He kicked off his shoes, loosened his tie, and headed toward the living room. The sound of Virgil’s cries greeted him before he saw his son—a ten-month-old bundle of energy and need, wailing from his playpen. Vanessa was at the stove, stirring a pot with one hand and bouncing on her toes, her hair pulled up in a messy knot. She looked exhausted, her eyes shadowed with fatigue.“Can you please quiet him?” Marcus snapped, dropping his briefcase a little too hard. “I’ve had a day.”Vanessa spun on her heel, arching an eyebrow. “So have I, Marcus. He’s been fussy since lunch, and I haven’t had a chance to sit down all afternoon. If you th
Love, Lies, and I Do 86 - A Measure of Night & Day
Denver strode into the boardroom with quiet confidence, the click of his polished Oxford shoes echoing on the marble floors. He was a portrait of classic business tradition from head to toe—his navy-blue suit impeccably pressed, the fabric heavy and expensive but understated. A crisp white dress shirt peeked out from beneath his tailored jacket, the collar starched and neat. His silk tie, a deep burgundy with a subtle herringbone pattern, was knotted in a perfect Windsor, and a matching burgundy pocket square, expertly folded, added just a whisper of color to his breast pocket. His dark hair was neatly parted and combed back, adding gravitas to his strong jaw and even features. Gold cufflinks gleamed at his wrists, and his watch—a vintage stainless-steel Omega—was the only sign of extravagance he wore. Denver’s look was deliberate: solid, steady, the embodiment of a man who valued tradition and legacy.He carried a worn leather portfolio under one arm, and as he greeted the room, his
Love, Lies, and I Do 85 - The Sacrifice (Home Is Where the Heart Heals)
Denver paused at the kitchen island, hands buried deep in his pockets, a sense of worry clinging to him like the steam rising from his mug. The house felt impossibly large and echoey now that his parents’ voices filled the halls, but he’d insisted—practically begged—his mom, Sharon, and his ailing father to stay with him for a few weeks while his dad recovered.It had been Denver’s idea, of course. After all, what was the point of buying a sprawling house in the suburbs if it wasn’t a place for the family to land when life knocked them down? He’d presented it to Sharon and his dad as if it were the most logical thing in the world. “We’ve got more than enough room,” he’d told his mom over the phone, trying to sound casual, as if the offer hadn’t been keeping him up at night. “Let Dad rest here, at least until he’s steady on his feet again.”India, his wife, had been less than thrilled about the arrangement. She’d agreed, thinking long and hard about her and Sharon’s relationship. But s
Love, Lies, and I Do 8. Trouble Looms
The knock at the door was thunderous, shaking the picture frames on Denver’s walls. You would have thought it was the police. India stiffened, eyes wide and red from hours of silent tears. Denver pressed his palm to her shoulder, steadying her—steadying himself. He’d been preparing for this moment
Love, Lies, and I Do 7. The Calm Before The Storm
"I've got to be honest, I feel nervous," India said, looking at him sincerely. "Okay, red or white?""Red is as good as any," India said.Denver walked away feeling relieved that he wasn't the only one nervous about all of this. He picked up two glasses. She needed a drink too. Denver took a seat
Love, Lies, and I Do 16. I'm Sprung Over You
Denver had risen early, thinking about the way she kissed him. His thoughts seemed clearer than ever before. “I’m a married man. This isn’t a joke. Maybe it's temporary, but at this moment, I’m someone’s husband in real life. And that someone is India.” As their honeymoon days came and went, Denve
Love, Lies, and I Do 14. Opening Her Heart, to His
India had to admit, it wasn't that Denver made it terribly uncomfortable for her. She realized that the kiss, with that glass of wine, made it feel like more than just being friends was happening between them. But she kept in mind that drinking always made her relax, but she wondered if she was l
