LOGINChapter 87Three In The Morning.Elara Winterfell.I shifted in my sleep, pushing against a warm body that seemed to envelope my entire being. I welcomed the warmth and burrowed even deeper inside until I heard a groan under me.My eyes snapped open in surprise. I was disoriented. Where was I? What was going on? I moved slightly, and I realized that I was lying down on someone. A man, to be precise?What happened last night? Fractured memories began piecing itself in my mind. There was a party. I let myself go for the first time in a long while. Beckett was going to be well soon.I remembered getting drunk and having Rowan carry me to the bedroom. I remembered not letting him leave out happiness."You're awake." His voice was deep, sending shivers down my spine.My eyes snapped to his face in surprise, to find him staring back at me. Watching me with those intense eyes of him. Heat flared in my nether regions at the look."I'm... Sorry." I smiled sheepishly. "For doing all these. I wa
Chapter 86.I Giggled.Rowan Nightshade.It was when I rescheduled an important meeting that I got a call from my private Investigator telling me that someone had just called the paparazzi to the hotel that Elara was staying in, and they were already harassing her. I didn't tell him what to do, of course he already knew he was going to find out who was behind it...I quickly took my coat and was out of my office in a hurry, ignoring Daniel who had come to see me. I pushed past him, to his surprise, and went into the elevator at once.I made sure the elevator door closed before he could enter. It took roughly five minutes to get to the hotel. I made it that way so that I could easily move between my company and where Elara was staying. The place was utter chaos, and I made my way to the front where it seemed like something was happening. And something was really happening.Elara sat on a reporter, beating the woman. The scene was painful to watch, and I looked around for Sinclair and
Chapter 85Take Care Of Everything.Elara Winterfell.I stretched in the bed. My muscles were aching as I struggled to keep my eyes open. It was a new day, meaning that my children were choosing another place to go today."Good morning, mummy!" I heard their excited screams as they jumped on the bed, burrowing themselves into me.I smiled, my heart swelling with so much happiness. I pulled them inside my body and littered their heads with kisses."Good morning babies." I tickled both of them too.The room was filled with their happy giggles, and it meant the whole world to me."So...where do you guys want to go tonight?" I asked them, propping my head against my hand and watching them.They both jumped on the bed excitedly."I was thinking about the mall!""No, I was thinking about Disneyland!""Maybe, even the park!""No, the park is boring. Maybe the cinema. We can watch the latest Disney princess movie, or even Barbie.""Not Barbie! I don't like Barbie. It's for girls. I'm a man. I
Chapter 84Big Boy.Rowan Nightshade.The sky was entirely dark when we lodged into the hotel. Sinclair and I made sure that everyone had fun, and we were currently carrying the sleeping children on our shoulders. Elara followed absentmindedly behind us, her fingers dancing haphazardly across her phone."Is everything okay?" I asked her.She didn't hear it the first time until Sinclair tapped her with his free hand and repeated my question."Yes. Yes. I'm fine. Thank you." She said hurriedly, but her forehead was still creased into a frown."You know I can help if there is a problem, right?" He asked her, and this was the first time today I saw the soft side to him.Elara looked up from her phone, using a finger to tuck her hair behind her ears, she smiled at him tiredly. "Of course I know. You'll be the first person I call if there is a problem."Something bubbled in my chest when she smiled at him and said those words to him. Strangely, I wanted to be the first person she called. I
Chapter 83The Water Park.Isabel Reece."Girl, guess what?" One of my elite friends, Michelle, sat down beside me with a phone in her hand."What?" I wasn't interested in the conversation. Connor and I were currently having an argument, and we were exchanging a series of angry text messages."Isn't this the woman who cheated on your husband that time? I don't remember what her name is..." She paused and tried to push her phone forward. "You didn't tell me she got married to Rowan Nightshade, your husband's boss."That changed my mood instantly. "Boss? Don't be silly! Connor has no boss. He is his own boss." I defended him immediately, not because of him, but because of my own reputation. "And who the hell are you talking about? Rowan Nightshade isn't married. He and his fiancée broke off their engagement six years ago. There's no way he could be married without my knowledge.""Oh, really?" The look on her face showed that she didn't respect me enough to believe me. "But here... it sh
Chapter 82CuteRowan Nightshade.My phone rang countless times that morning but I ignored it. Elara looked at my phone, and then at me, with a worried expression."Aren't you going to pick up the call?" She frowned, squinting under the early morning sun. "It could be important. We can reschedule this for another time." She tried to reason, but I just waved it off and stuck my hands in my pocket."It's nothing important." I told her, checking my time before looking at the empty road. "My driver should be here any minute. Are they all ready?"Of course they were. Beckett was in a little jean short and a black polo, as well as all of us. We were in matching outfits today. Never in my life would I have done such a thing, I wouldn't even want to be caught dead doing something this silly, but doing this with the children... it made me feel different. Like I had an actual family.We were still waiting for Sinclair to show up, and I hoped that he showed up before my driver came because I wou
