DEREK’S P.O.V.

The silence that followed was almost suffocating, or it would have been if I were in Justin’s shoes.

He looked like his air supply had been cut off, and he was ready to explode.

At least forty people sat in the dining room, frozen, all leaning or looking over as they waited to hear what Justin had to say.

Even the children seemed to know something big was happening, because even their usual bickering had stopped at their table.

“Justin,” My mother repeated more sternly this

A couple of weeks ago, I had posted a comment that I was pregnant as a surrogate for another family. Thank you all for you love and support. I have since deleted that author note as I unfortunately lost it. I had never gone through that before and it was absolutely devastating, so thank you for understanding when my uploads had slowed. I have been feeling a little bit better the past few days and am back to roughly 2 chapters a day for you all! We will try again in a few weeks to give that family the baby they deserve! Fingers crossed!

I’m so sorry Ashley. I know it wasn’t yours but it’s still devastating to have a miscarriage, I’ve been there. I pray you continue to heal and God grant you comfort and peace to get through this. I pray the next go around is a success.

  • The Accidental Almost Kiss with my Ex's Uncle   Fifty-Seven

    DEREK’s P.O.V.I didn’t bother waiting for them to leave first. I stormed past them and out of the house, letting the adrenaline carry me blindly to my car. My hands shook as I slammed the driver’s door shut, but it wasn’t from anger or fear. It felt like everything I had bottled up over time had finally exploded.Justin’s blood still decorated my knuckles, and I stared at it for a long moment before gripping the steering wheel tightly as I sped away. The city lights blurred together as I drove without a destination in mind. I was too consumed by thoughts of tonight to focus on anything else. Each time I thought about it, I could practically hear the cracking of my fist connecting with his jaw. I could see my grandmother’s tears and hear her whispering her prayers. I should have stopped sooner, instead of losing control. To any sane person, it would have been clear that I had crossed a line, but if I could go back… I still would have done it again. Turning, I watched the securit

  • The Accidental Almost Kiss with my Ex's Uncle   Fifty-Six

    DEREK’S P.O.V.One second, Justin was smirking, and the next, the distance between us was gone, and my fist was crashing into his jaw. The crack echoed through the stunned dining room, the sound fueling me on. He deserved for every bone he had to be broken after what he had done to Charlotte.Justin staggered backward, slamming into the table hard enough that nearly every glass fell over and broke.“You’re going to regr…” He snarled, but I didn’t let him finish. I grabbed the front of his shirt and drove another punch into his face, his head snapping to the side from the impact. Blood burst from his split lip,“Derek!” My mother screamed, but I couldn’t respond. I also couldn’t stop. All I could see was Charlotte’s swollen, split lip and all the bruising on her face. He needed to feel that, too. I was going to make him feel that pain, too. Justin shoved against my chest, trying to put space between us, but years in the gym and a lifetime of discipline kept me in place. Instead,

  • The Accidental Almost Kiss with my Ex's Uncle   Fifty-Five

    DEREK’S P.O.V.Nonna’s home had looked the same throughout my entire childhood. Over the years, we had to add more seats or tables to make room for everyone, but the rest stayed the same. There was the hutch full of crystal glasses that she insisted no one could ever touch, the fresh flowers in the middle of each table, and the knick-knacks along the top of the fireplace.Normally, it was also filled with kids running around and laughter, but today, it felt different. Even when the family had turned on me for refusing to be a part of the family business, it had never felt like this. Now, it felt like I was walking into enemy territory. “Oh, Derek, my sweet boy. You made it!” My Nonna exclaimed, and I nodded, leaning down to kiss her cheeks.“You graced us with your presence for two dinners in one month. Aren’t we lucky?” My father joked, but I couldn’t even force a smile at him. I was eyeing my sister and her husband. They kept their heads together, whispering and laughing, withou

  • The Accidental Almost Kiss with my Ex's Uncle   Fifty-Four

    DEREK’S P.O.V. My phone ringing pulled my attention away from the report on my desk, and had it not been Paul calling, I would have been frustrated. I hadn’t had a clear mind to focus on work since I saw Charlotte hurt. No, the only reason I could focus was that I knew he was with her and that she was safe. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be here right now. I would be with her… protecting her. I answered before the second ring, worry filling my gut. “Is she okay?” I asked immediately, and for a moment, all I could hear was the wind rushing across the speaker, followed by a car honking. It was late for them to be out and about, unless Charlotte had decided to go on another firearm shopping spree. I doubted that would happen, given how uncomfortable and panicked she seemed after getting the first one, so I had to assume he had stepped outside so she wouldn’t hear him, which made me worry even more. “She’s fine,” Paul finally said, and even though it felt like a lifetime before he h

  • The Accidental Almost Kiss with my Ex's Uncle   Fifty-Three

    CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V.Tara watched us eat for a long moment, her fingernails clicking against the top of the wood before she gave up waiting for our undivided attention and released an irritated sigh. I narrowed my eyes at her as she reached into her bag. Paul had already searched it, but there was still a part of me that wondered what her game was. She certainly wasn’t here to become best friends. The envelope had barely hit the table before Paul snatched it from her. He was very cautious as he went through the pages there before tapping the side of the envelope onto the table. “I’m not going to poison her.” Tara snapped, rolling her eyes. “I’m pregnant. Don’t be stupid. I wouldn’t risk being near anything like that.” I ignored her, watching Paul closely, seeing him go through each paper and even inspecting a physical flash drive as if he were expecting it to be a secret pocket knife, before spreading the content out across the table between us for me to see.“What’s all of this?”

    CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V. The knock on the apartment door came just as I finished cooking dinner. I glanced at the clock, seeing it was almost seven, and glanced at Paul with a shrug. I had no idea who would show up this late, especially without texting or calling first. Lydia wouldn’t have come over without checking in to make sure I was home now that her key didn’t work, and my father would be at the hospital with my mother right now, so there was no one else who would be here except… My heart sped up as I filled with excitement. It had only been two days, but it had felt like forever. Derek and I had been texting back and forth over the past two days, but it was all casual and friendly. How was your day? Did you drink enough water? How are you feeling? I even told him when I tripped on my lunch break and accidentally threw my food at a passing bicyclist who just happened to be riding by at the wrong time. Even the crying, laughing emoji he sent in response, before asking if I was

    CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V. My mouth opened and then closed again as blood rushed to my cheeks. What did I think happened in here? There was no answer I could give that wouldn't make me want to melt into the floor out of humiliation. Standing in the middle of the room wasn’t helping. There was a lar

    CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V. The Black Door was the most confusing, infuriating project I had ever worked on. Granted, my time as a designer before I became a stay-at-home wife consisted of me working on a restaurant, an office building, and a hotel. I had never worked on anything like this before. When

    CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V.I spent the entire ride home pretending like I wasn’t staring at a cocktail napkin, but unfortunately, Lydia noticed everything. She was also sober, and I was…. Not. At all. “Do you need help sounding it out?” Lydia asked and then pressed her lips together as she tried to hide

    CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V. Two large men stood on either side of the VIP rope, and a thrill of excitement burst through me when they opened it without a single word, allowing me in. I'd expected at least one of them to stop me, but I was pleasantly surprised as I walked through it. “Enjoy your evening,
