Andera's Pov.

I don't know much of Italian, but I've been around Rosa long enough to know that Bella means beauty.

He called me beautiful.

I withdrew my hand from him, feeling suddenly uncomfortable with my old apron and flour-stained cheeks.

His onyx eyes didn't stop searching my face. There was something with him I couldn't quite put in place. He had this rugged beauty. With an earring on one ear and a tattoo that snaked up his arm.

"Via" Rosa's voice startled me. "You didn't even unload your bags before jumping out of the car." She chided.

Her brother. The one she went to pick from the airport. Mortification washed over me. This is the first time I'm meeting with Rosa's brother and I look a mess.

"I wanted to see the friend you won't stop talking about." He grinned at her. Then his gaze settled on me again. "And what a beauty she is." his eyes were so dark, but I swear I could see the pupils dilate.

"Leave her alone Carol, Andera is my friend" Rosa warned and moved past him int

  • Reclaiming His Ex-wife; At all costs!    SIXTY

    ASHLEY'S P.O.VI sat in a pool of shredded white satin. The pieces of the dress lay haphazardly on the floor, just like the pieces of my shattered heart. There was nothing inside that place anymore, no beat, no life. Nothing.“Fool” I cursed. Him, myself, both of us. My eyes were hot, my temperature was burning up, and my tongue tasted acidic. “Stupid fool.” My haunted curses echoed through the darkness of the Briarwood. Yes, like Genevieve had so many times implied, I was a fool.My numb fingers fumbled for the pieces of white on the floor. I reached for them again and began shredding with every ounce of strength left in my body.I was such a fool, for keeping this useless wedding dress, for clinging to a part of my love for Kellan. It hurt to even say his name in my mind. God, this was too much for me. I never knew love could hurt so much. I didn't think there'd be a day when Kellan would hate meHe loves meCorrection: He loved me.Snot filled my nose, and prickly, sharp tears

    KELLAN'S P.O.VIf I drove into another car, I wouldn't be surprised.Wouldn't that be a better option than this fire inside my chest, it was burning me whole, consuming me. My eyes burned, and my erratic breathing made it hard to breathe. I managed to focus on the road in front of me as I drove. My heart racing faster than the car.The leather groaned underneath my merciless grip and the fire in my body blazed behind my eyes.‘Men don't cry’ I could hear my father whisper into my ears. The sting in my eyes threatened to spill out. I clenched my jaw hard, so hard it might have snapped.‘Men don't cry Kellan. Men don't cry’ it was me whispering to myself now.The blaring of a truck horn made me jerk into reality. My tyres screeched on the gravel road as I tried to maneuver away from the truck.I hadn't been looking at the road, or more correctly, I was looking but not seeing anything.“Did....” I hated how I sounded. I hated how broken she made me. I hated...“Did you think about me, w

    ASHLEY'S P.O.VHearing Kellan was here was like a lifeline pulling me from the pit I was in.Hearing Kellan was here was like falling deeper into said pit, too.“Kellan Langston,” The guard repeated when neither I nor Genevieve said anything. My hand trembled by my side, the dried tears in my cheeks were sticky and my throat was clogged with emotions.My heart fluttered in my chest, hope spread to life in my veins, giving me strength, giving me a voice. “He's...here?” I asked quietly, like I was too scared of what the guard's answer would be.Was he joking? Was this Genevieve pulling a stunt to torment me?Was Kellan really here, in the Harrington's manor? But..he hated this place. I don't know what Genevieve and Pete had done to make Kellan hate this manor, he swore we would never step foot back here. One time, I had jokingly asked him the place he wanted to be last on earth, and he said he'd pick a literal hell over this manorAnd now he was here...for me. To get me backOh God.The

    KELLAN'S P.O.VThere was a parasite inside me.It slithered across my spine like a snake, fed off my sanity, and coiled its weight deep in my stomach. Point is, I couldn't stay still. Not with the way I was seething and dying on the inside.The moment my jet touched ground should have given me a reprieve. Instead, after waking a grumbling pilot from sleep and enduring forty-eight minutes of restlessness in the air, we finally arrived in Dallas.A sleek car waited by the tarmac, ready to take me to the Harringtons’ manor Ashley Harrington's manor. The heiress to the Harrington's legacyMy fingers curled into a tight fist, and that parasite in my stomach fought and lashed in my mind to be free and spread its venom.My shoulders were stiff and my body tense as I slid into the driver's seat of the Range Rover SUV. The blood flowing in my veins was simmering with impatience.The engine roared to life, leaving a cloud of dust behind me as I zoomed away. My grip on the wheel hardened, and s

    ASHLEY'S P.O.VThe first thing I'd do once I leave here, is murder.Yes. I, Ashley, was going to murder the woman who brought me into this world, I'd stab a knife right into her gut. I've never been one to have murderous or crazy thoughts, but I guess two days of being held in the Harrington's manor against my will with my phone confiscated can change me into someone elseAnd this someone, wanted to throttle Genevieve so bad, I couldn't keep still. I paced back and forth in my room, I've only had access to the east wing of the manor, and so far, not been able to reach any cell phone that I could use to call for help.Genevieve told me she was doing this for ‘my good’ that I would grow up and ‘understand she meant no harm’Understand my ass.Every now and then, I try to steady my racing heart for the sake of my daughter. I'm due in about two months, and I don't want to harm my baby girl in any way, but it's hard not to be anxious.I'm not just outraged that she would lock me up when I'

    KELLAN'S P.O VI left the windows open tonight. The cool early evening air creased the curtains and filled my lungs. I had left the office early today to come back home. Deeds were done, contracts were signed so there was no need to stay behind. I was welcomed by the cold silence of my house, the pictures of Ashley everywhere, and the dull but constant ache in my chest.The evening passed by as I went through my new rigid routine. First, the shower where I stood under the cold water, then dinner, which I made myself or ordered, a shot of whiskey or bourbon, and I'll call it a night.The curtains billowed when I stepped out from the shower, I rubbed a hand across my face and exhaled, ready to get on with dinner and drinking or drinking and dinner, or just drinking, when my phone buzzed with an incoming call.Martin's name flashed on the screen making my brows furrow. He never called without reason but recently, our relationship had shifted from Boss and employee to having some sort o
