I felt so on edge and insecure all the way during the ride back to the mansion because I was alone with Rowan in the car. Although he had to focus on driving, that didn’t completely eliminate the possibility that he could turn his attention to tease me at any time. I felt a sensation in my chest each time that he turned to direct his attention my way. Thankfully, we managed to arrive back at the mansion without incident. A wave of loneliness washed over me as I made my way into the mansion when

    "Aren’t you lucky to have such a loving sister-in-law? I’m sure that you two will get along so well," my mother exclaimed joyfully."Let’s go with this one," Francesca said decisively as she pointed to a beautiful vase."I agree. Rowan does have an eye for detail. I’m sure you two will be happy together after you get married," my mother said sincerely."Thank you so much. I’m sure that we’ll be happy together. I can’t wait to spend my life with Rowan and build a family of our own," Francesca said wistfully."I’m sure you will," my mother quickly agreed.Their exchange felt close to unbearable to me. Their words hit me like knives driving deep into my chest. Each word cut deep and made tears sting the back of my eyes. I knew that Rosbella was doing this intentionally to torture me, and that I was falling for her trap. However, I couldn’t control the emotions that welled up inside of me. I wanted to tell my mother that I should be the one that Rowan should be engaged to and not Francesc

  • One Night's Mistake With My Stepbrother    Chapter 148

    My mother had no idea what was going on, and instead of being able to tell her the truth one after another, it seemed like I had built up another secret that I was keeping from her. All the lies and all the misunderstandings between my mother and I kept on piling up until it felt like there was this big mountain between us.My interactions with my mother seemed friendly and close enough, but inside I didn’t feel the same way as I did before anymore, and it felt like it was killing me inside slowly. We appeared close, but I felt that the distance between us was slowly growing. The fact that I kept so many secrets from her without being able to tell her the truth made me feel like I was betraying my mother’s trust. On top of that, I also knew that time was running out.Whenever I was alone, I found myself staring at the ring that Rowan had given me while I wondered about its real significance. Needless to say, I was over-the-moon happy that he proposed to me. I wanted more than anything

    "You don’t have to worry about anything. Don’t worry about the Mafia world. We live in our world together. You don’t have to carry any of the weight alone; we will carry it together. We will make your mother understand our love," Rowan said convincingly.I thought about the danger and the uncertainty that lay in the future, but then I thought about how empty my life would feel without him by my side. Even though I wanted to pull away from him, I knew that I couldn’t do it. I would always come running back to him even if I were to leave. I realized the truth with such intensity that I was deeply in love with him.There was no going back. To look in his eyes, eyes filled with love and devotion, was a moment that I would never forget for the rest of my life. Rowan slowly took out a ring before he took my hand and firmly slid it down to the base of my ring finger. Surprisingly, it felt like the most perfect fit. I could feel my hand trembling as he held it, and I could not hide my excitem

    "Annabelle, I don’t want you to carry this alone, because you don’t have to. Not anymore," he murmured softly.I began crying again, and Rowan quickly wrapped his arms around me to hold me close. He hugged me as my sobs wrecked my body, and I cried in his arms for a while without exchanging any words."I’m here for you no matter what. I just want you to know that," Rowan whispered tenderly into my ear.It took quite a long while, but I managed to get a hold of myself again. I knew that I couldn’t keep on crying in his arms forever because it wouldn’t solve anything."I’m sorry," I apologized for showing him my weak side."There’s nothing for you to apologize for. Talk to me, Gail. I can’t help you if you don’t. Surely something happened, right?" Rowan asked knowingly.I shook my head slightly before biting down hard on my lower lip. The words that I wanted to tell him felt so difficult to utter. However, I knew that I couldn’t hold it in any longer because it felt like my chest would

    The place gave me the chills and reminded me of an ice cave to the point where I wouldn’t be surprised if a bear jumped out at us. The room was already filled with life and laughter as people clinked champagne glasses together. I could understand why George was so firm about us getting new dresses and dressing up for the event. Everyone there looked polished and confident, and dressed to impress.Once again, it was another event where we appeared as the perfect family. The truth was far different, and it was up to me when to press the button to make everything crumble down into nothing."Rowan," a sweet voice called out his name.There she was, wearing a sparkling red dress that clung to her beautiful body. Her smile was inviting as she practically glided toward us. My breath caught in my throat when I spotted my arch-enemy. I had wished silently that Francesca wouldn’t be at the event, but clearly, my wish was denied."I think it’s been far too long. It’s such a shame that we couldn’

    That night, when I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling in the dark, my phone suddenly buzzed on the nightstand as its screen lit up. My heart jumped because I knew exactly who it was even before I reached my hand for my phone. The message was a harsh reminder from Francesca.’Tick tock, tick tock. Four days left, my dear Annabelle. Will you tell your mother, or shall I do it myself?’A shiver ran through me before an ugly cry escaped my lips. I flung my phone onto the bed and curled up under the blankets as my stomach twisted so badly I thought that I might become sick.Four days. It felt like my world was about to come to an end.I had made up my mind because I didn’t have any other choice but to tell my mother. I kept telling myself that sooner was better than later. Now that my time with Rowan was running out, I wanted to enjoy every moment with him. Every second became even dearer than before-and unbearably sweeter.I convinced myself that if I were to tell my mother, perhaps Fra

    When George and my mother brought up the issue of setting up a blind date for me, I honestly never thought that it would materialize in real life. For the life of me, I couldn’t picture myself going on a blind date with anyone, much less one of the most eligible bachelors in the city.I

    "It was my first time on a cruise, so it was a very new experience for me," I replied while trying my best not to lie to him. The truth was that I didn’t enjoy the cruise, but it was undoubtedly a new experience for me."Do you like going on trips? Seeing nature, new views, experiencing

    "Please, we should go," I pleaded softly."What’s the rush? Let’s have some fun first before we head back," Rowan whispered before his lips captured mine in a passionate kiss.His lips moved fervently against mine as he continued with his aggressive seduction. I heard myself let

    "Welcome back, Mom!" I cried out as I ran towards my mother and threw my arms around her. My mother just laughed before returning my hug. She probably thought that I was happy to welcome her back, but she probably had no idea that at that moment that I felt like the savior that I had been waiting f
