We got to the cafe and Mike was already putting the chairs up on the tables. I opened the door for Zach, who was still carrying Elliot.

“Uncle M! Look! My dad came to visit!”

There was an imperceptible look that fell over Zach’s face, but Mike cracked a smirk before turning to Elliot. “That’s great, kiddo! Why don’t you head up and get dressed for tonight? Your mom and I need to get everything together.”

“Okay!” Elliot dropped out of Zach’s arms and thundered upstairs.

“The cakes are cooled and ready for frosting.” Mike ignored Zach.

I sighed. “Do you know how much I love you?”

“Too much.”

Laughing, I hip checked him as I walked by to the kitchen, but he barely moved.

“You know, if you didn’t lose those thirty pounds this month, I might have felt it.”

“Cállate, pendejo.” [Shut up, asshole.] I yelled at him.

He yelled back. “Estas enojada porque sigues casada.” [You’re mad because you’re still married.]

I laughed. “El único que está enojado por eso eres tú.” [The only one who

Zach should witness what Evie had sacrificed herself to save him… to know the pain and suffering she had gone through all theses years

I have so much admiration and respect for what Evie stood for.. She pulled herself up despite the challenges and obstacles she faced after the incident and focused solely on her son, pouring all her love and care on him, providing him with positive energy ensuring he grew up with good impression

  • Promises Forgotten   Author Note: New Story!

    Hello everyone! So I'm doing another update here! :) I've gone back and done a fairly big update to this story. I ended up becoming a necessity as part of my work to hopefully get an audiobook verison. So I'm hoping to do that at least by early 2024. With wanting to up the book up, I went through the book with a fine tooth comb. There were a couple parts that I wasn't exactly happy with (and some of you had also commented that you didn't think it worked either or wanted more information) and so I have done some serious edits. :) If you have already paid and read through the book, maybe go through it again and see if you like the new updates. I know I am SUPER happy now with this story. I don't feel like there is a weak chapter or point anymore and I'm just so happy. (I don't really intend of doing a second book, though I actually did have more planned for Evie and Z. It just so happened that the ending worked too well that I realized I didn't need more. So I would say, don't hold ou

  • Promises Forgotten   Epilogue 2

    I thought it was my father shaking hands with people as they walked in, but I realized that there was no grey hair. I was looking at Adrian. Evie touched my arm, and the metal was cold. It jolted me to glance at her and there was a concerned look on her face. “Sorry. I saw Adrian for a second.” I whispered in her ear. “Why do you look like you saw a ghost, then?” I looked down at her, my lips pressed together in a thin line. “Because I thought he was my father.” Her eyes widened and then she nodded. The grip she had on my arm tightened and we waited in line for the final photo to be taken. Walking in front of the logo, I stood with Evie close to my left side. Rissa was in my arms, and Elliot between us. I hadn’t spoken to my father since the night I told him I was done. He had tried to worm his way back into the company and bring his Mafia influence with him. At first, I was able to fight alongside Adrian until my father started to give Adrian something he always wanted, recognit

  • Promises Forgotten   Epilogue 1

    ***Three years later*** “Honestly, I don’t know how I agreed to this. You know I don’t do this shit anymore.” I huffed, looking in the mirror. “One, it’s for charity. A charity that we frequently work with and help out. Second, your brother is actually putting this on. You haven’t seen him in two years, Z. It’s getting ridiculous.” Sighing, I shook my head. “I have a reason for that, Evie. It’s not all going to go away.” “I get that, Z but he is still your brother. You help him from the shadows and he doesn’t even know. It’s ridiculous. Just confront him.” “At a charity event with a red carpet and all the kids there.” Evie let out an exasperated growl. “For fuck’s sake, Zachary Anderson, grow up. I swear to god.” “Mom! Fuck is a bad word!” “Then why did you say it, Elliot?” She called back. “Shit!” I looked out the door. “Elliot!” He chuckled. “Sorry, Dad. Rissa is ready, as am I.” I walked out, rolling my shoulders and adjusting my sleeves. It had been so long since I dr

  • Promises Forgotten   Chapter 55

    Evie was waiting for me at the elevators, behind the row of security so that none of the reporters could sneak onto the upper floors. I lifted Elliot up and held him, also reaching out for Evie’s hand. We entered the elevator and Jason raced in. He shook his head. “That was ridiculous. I can’t believe you just decided to chill with the reporters.” Shrugging, I stole a kiss from Evie. “I’m enjoying this…being relaxed. If I could have shown up in jeans without the stock market plummeting, I would have.” “It absolutely would have dropped by ten points at the very least.” Jason laughed as he pressed two different buttons and the elevator started to rise. He turned, holding his hand out to Evie. “It’s nice to meet you. It’s been a crazy few weeks but I feel like we are friends already. Especially if you have the patience to handle him.” Jason nodded in my direction. I tightened my hold of her hand but eventually she shot me a glare and pulled it out to shake his hand. “You as well. I

  • Promises Forgotten   Chapter 54

    While Stacy, Elliot, Evie, and I drove together, Stacy and I went in the back way to the office, meeting up with Jason and his full security team. Evie would enter through the front and find a space to watch the press conference. Elliot wanted to see it, since I refused to tell him what was going on in the company beforehand. He had asked his mom multiple times to check her phone to see the stock prices of A.A.W., as he called it. Taking a deep breath, I pulled up my talking points on my tablet, choosing to not go with a prompter because it just seemed silly. Adrian was worried about it, but he just wasn’t used to being in the limelight. Not while I was around. Looking around, I tried to find Adrian, but he wasn’t anywhere. “Where is he, Stace?” “I don’t know! I called Nicole but she said he left at six in the morning, and she hasn’t heard from him either.” Cursing, I looked at my watch. We did not have time for this. We were supposed to go out in five minutes. I wanted to go over

    I looked at myself in the mirror. It had been a while since I was in a full three-piece suit and tie. It felt uncomfortable. I looked like my father. Sighing, I asked to see another tie. The associate disappeared and I wondered where Stacy was. Usually, she was my style compass when it came to these sorts of things. All I wanted to do was to wear the jeans and button-up shirt that I had gotten used to lately. “If that’s what you are going with, I wonder if anyone will take you seriously.” My eyes widened and I whipped around, watching Evie walk toward me. She was smiling brightly and I nearly dissolve into tears right there. She was wearing dark jeans and a shirt with a band I didn’t know; her usual combat boots on her feet. Her hair was pulled up in a ponytail, no makeup, and she looked like the goddess I knew and loved. “Dad!” Elliot came running up and jumped into my arms. I caught him and planted a kiss on his cheek. He was wearing jeans and a dinosaur t-shirt with a backpack, h
