LOGINRowanThe dinner was a nice escape for us both. We got to get away abs to someone we normally are not. Just two people at a dinner. Not two people under a microscope are being watched like lab rats. Selene seemed to get along well with Bianca. With all her secret Witchery, it was hard to tell if they would get along. I wanted to make sure she had more people she could count on once I leave. I am happy that they will watch over her like she is family. That means a lot to me. Knowing she doesn’t have a damn bit of good in the family department. That is besides her little mini me and sister Rachel. We will sign the paperwork tomorrow. I ended the happiest year of my life. With all the drama and stress, the love was real. I hope she knows that. I hope she understands everything I have done is for her. So why am I in this dark ass club right now? When I should be enjoying every minute of time with her? I swear to God I haven’t a clue. But I know I have to keep he
SeleneThis home is simply amazing. I have been walking around the mansion on a private tour of the main floor with Bianca as they get the coffee ready for dessert. “How do you keep a place like this so spotless!” I swoon. “Girl, you know we have a full staff. I have to make sure it is up to my standards. I will spazz out if I see dust.” Bianca smiles at me. “I get that. Rowan is the same way.” I smile thinking fondly on the number of times I have seen him try and resist cleaning when we get home. “So did you tell him how you feel about him?” Bianca asks getting right to the point. I could tell there was something more she wanted to ask me. “What do you mean? He knows that I am in love with him?” “But did you tell him you don’t want the divorce and you love him?” “Bianca, I can’t. This is what he wants. Who am I to stand in his way.” I walk alongside her as she loops her arm through mine. “I feel like he is doing what he thinks is best. But not
RowanBregman and Bianca MelnykPulling up to the suburbs Will drives us for about an hour outside the city. It is a beautiful night. The sky is so clear out here away from the city lights that you can see the stars. I let the window down a bit so that I can feel the cool air. We come up to a large property that has a ten-foot brick wall with metal spikes on the top. Beyond that I see rolling hills of land. In the distance we see a two-story mansion in a cream color. Like a fortress on a hill. As we pull up to the gate’s security checks the car. They have dogs walk around it. One man has a mirror on a stick to look under our vehicle. They are very secure here with safety. “This place is amazing.” Selene whispers more to herself as we pass through the gates after we were cleared. “Yes, it is. Would you want this much space?” I ask her. &ldq
SeleneThe office has been weirdly calm. Like no one looks at me weird. No one even acts like I didn’t have a complete melt down. It was like that day with my mother never happened. I can tell you that I have had that dream a time or two. Wishing she wasn’t in the picture. That my father actually wanted me and would come rescue me. But that fairytale never came true. I got the story without the fairy godmother. I had to fight for my survival. I some days feel like I still am. Like the day my mother came to my job. I still don’t know how she found me. She isn’t one for the media. I know the New York Times leisure page was not on her to be read list. Someone must have tipped her off. But then who would have to time and energy to research my past. Hell, probably anyone who wanted to get close to Rowan. Well in a few days this marriage would be over and they can go for the man they claim to need and deserve. I mean that is i
RowanThe office has been running smoothly. We have not had any issues with the stalker who is obsessed with Selene. I hope the moment I board the plane; they leave her alone forever. I have been working on new partnerships. Getting Selene as set up as possible. I know she can handle all of this on her own but I still want to make sure she is taken care of. Even when I am not around. Fuck, I am going to miss her. I have been in meetings all day. Somehow, I missed his call and now I have a guest in my office. Bregman, the mafia don that I am getting a very close relationship with. “Well, what do I owe this surprise visit?” I smile welcoming him in. We are close in age. Him probably in his mid-thirties and it is rare that they take over the organization so soon. But his father was killed and he was next in line. “Well, I knew I had to see you before you try and make
SeleneI can’t believe the things that happened in that basement. The pain I needed to inflict on him. The man who took from me things I should have been in charge of. I should have chosen my first time. He didn’t deserve to take it from me and he sure as hell didn’t deserve to leave me pregnant. Having that abortion was a difficult choice but I knew I could not bring a poor child into this world that was through so much pain. I couldn’t get away from my mother fast enough after I had the procedure. I ran away to a different borough and she never looked for me. She was still getting her government assistance in my name so that was all she wanted. After we left from downstairs, I know the men were transported to the Bergman’s family estate. I know they have pigs out there and from what I’ve read in books, they are great at getting rid of bodies. I hope that they are fed to the pigs still alive. I don’t e
SeleneI was giddy with excitement after getting his commanding text messages. I couldn’t shut down my computer fast enough. I saw Rowan leaving, and I waited, staying busy. I knew he had another call with Sia, so I was sure he was probably on his way to see her. He may claim to want me to
34.SeleneWe enter the penthouse where there are a large number of guests filling the rooms. My coat is taken at the front door with a makeshift coat room being a spare bedroom off the entrance. I am wearing a form fitted red cocktail dress with a cuff trim top and spaghetti straps. I went with
SeleneIt’s been a whirlwind of the past few days. I haven’t heard from Cordell since we threw him out of my condo. I also had a huge conversation with the front desk and security. I pay money for him not to find a way up to my door. I’m a single woman, and I don’t need to be in these situations.
Rowan I’m completely lost. I can hear the words that came out of my secretary, but it’s not computing. Nor that Selene of all people are on their way with me to the hospital. The elevator ride down is silent. A million things are running through my head. I tried calling my dad, but I don’t get an a
