ANMELDENAfter a painful divorce and six months off the radar, Bella returns to the city with a new energy, and a mysterious aura. She’s the billionaire doctor Dominic, her ex husband has been looking for.

He clicked a few buttons to set the maker to work as he emptied the current tray.Just as I was about to respond, the said owner of freezer walked in holding an empty casserole.“Dinner started without us already?”Faye shook her head. She said the mothers were just greedy and had shared the appetizers she’d prepared between themselves. She had come to get more. Ted looked at me as if waiting for my answer and all it took was one discreet shake of my head to let him know I could not talk with the cousin present. He understood immediately and went back to setting the bottle of wine aright in the bucket.When Faye was gone, I told him what had happened.“Why would you
Bella’s POVIt was about three hours later when Darla and Darlene returned to Faye’s house. I was quite surprised they had stayed out that late but when I saw their shopping bags, I immediately knew what had happened. The kitchen counter was soon flooded with the bags and I knew that Faye would have a fit if she came back and saw the barrage.“What is going on?” Audrey cried as she walked into the kitchen behind me.“The moms have struck again.” I liked that having them around did not remind me of what I had lost but instead made me appreciate what I’d been able to experience even more. Not everyone had a mom and even worse, not everyone had friends whose moms were theirs as well.“Again?” Darlene huffed. “Can’t remember the last time I ever spoiled myself this way.”“Well, what are we celebrating? Are we in business?” Of course, we knew the answer to that question already but we had to keep in line with the script and that meant we had to ask questions like this one.The twins exchan
Dominic’s POVIn order to give them that air of importance, we hired Darla and Darlene an escort who would also double as their guard. He was to keep eyes on them at all times as well as Daniel who was the major threat. The day we’d chosen was in line with Daniel’s visit as well. You see, he had a pattern which he followed weekly and that Wednesday evening was one of such days. By now, the notice had already been put out that the bar was for sale. Of course, the waitresses had been dropping subtle hints about it. A few of them had quit already but Ted assured us that hiring them back wouldn’t be a problem.“I’m a great boss,” he said, stretching to put his arms around his girlfriend.Since he had picked up the ring at the jewelers, he had been extra touchy around her. I was not sure that she had even noticed that was what was happening. Perhaps she was enjoying it even. I’d read somewhere that the first sign of pregnancy was actually an increased libido other than the missed period of
Dominic’s POV“A fashion boutique?!” The older twins exclaimed and all but hugged each other as their daughters announced to them the news.It had taken a while to convince Audrey to come on board with the plan especially since she was concerned for their safety. She didn’t want anything that would put her mother in harm’s way, least of all let her in on what was going on. One word of the trouble they were facing and she would have her transported to a whole other state as far from the trouble as possible. Then she would demand that Audrey cut ties with her friends here so that she was not remotely in danger.“That woman is the clear definition of dramatic.”She hadn’t been kidding either. Their reaction to the news was dramatic. I had assured Audrey that not only would they be with security at all times, they would have no direct contact with the mad man Daniel. When he went to outbid them, they would not even know. And they would not even be aware that they had been outbid.“Good, b
Dominic’s POV“We need to fucking go out there and do the bastard in, right now.”I grabbed Ted around the arm before he could make it out the door. “Be reasonable. We are way out of our element here.”“In my own bar?”“He thinks you’re dead.” I sighed. I was just as angry as Ted and I knew that if
Dominic’s POVBella held onto me, sobbing into my already sweaty and smelly shirt like as though it were a lifeline. She gripped me so hard, I would have to be extra forceful if I were going to successfully get her off me. But I didn’t want to. I wanted to hold on to her as much as he wanted to do
Bella’s POV“Hurry!” Audrey yelled up the stairs from the hallway where she stood or more like paced the floors while she waited for us to get ready.We had not exactly been prepared for any news. I was binge watching some old TV series after I had commented how long it had been that I had relaxed
Dominic’s POVBella was loathe to see me leave but I had to assure her that we were closer to the truth now than ever before.“It won’t be long now. We would be together once again,” I assured her as I pulled her into a hug.I had spent the few remaining minutes I had left talking with her. Once I
