“Are you sure you don’t want us to go in with you?” Bella asks me a third time, her voice as soft as her touch on my arm.

Oliver just maneuvered his car into a parking position at the cells, which we all vehemently told him he did not need to do, especially after driving so recklessly anyway.

I reach for Bella’s cheek, brushing a finger across her tan skin gently. I don’t know what I ever did to deserve someone like her for a sister.

“I’ll be fine Bells. In and out.” I inform her.

“Um… what is your plan actually?” Evelyn asks as we all turn to her, “you do realize you have to get Riggs and Jaxon out of there. What car are keeping them in?”

It’s a smart question. Bella, myself, Oliver and Evelyn are already a lot for a Ferrari of this size, adding two fully grown men who haven’t showered in weeks will certainly not be pleasant. But with no other vehicle, there’s no other alternative.

“It’ll just be one drive with them squeezed at the back with us.” I tell Ev

  • These Reckless Vows: The Billionaire's Bride   Chapter 106: The Move

    Ava ~~~ Moving the men turns out to be the easy part. It helps that after Leonel and I’s confessions to each other, we are more invigorated than we were a moment ago, and getting what needs to be done done actually requires less effort than it would have if we hadn’t reconciled. It also helps that a brokenhearted Jaxon doesn’t put up much of a fight. Leonel gave him the sedative he arrived with, as well as giving some to Riggs for good measure, and we both lug the men upstairs, me heaving from Riggs’ weight, and Leonel moving like it’s nothing. When we finally emerge on the surface, however, I encounter my first problem, one I hadn’t exactly considered on the way here. “Absolutely fucking not.” Leonel booms, unconscious Jaxon still in his hands, when he spots an awkward Nicco leaning in the carseat of his truck. I’m so caught up in reconciling with everyone - with Evelyn asking me a million questions at once, and Oliver telling me a billion things at the same time - tha

  • These Reckless Vows: The Billionaire's Bride   Chapter 105: The Closure.

    Leonel ~~~ It could have been a lifetime we were apart and I would still remember what Ava Jade Allard felt like. Her body curves perfectly in mine, like we were made to be together. The dungeon is dark and dingy, and I absolutely hate being here, but I would stay here a thousand hours if it’s the place we come back to each other. How the hell is she here? “Aw would you look at that?” We hear a voice dripping with malice and immediately spring apart, remembering exactly where we are. I turn slowly, re-focusing my phone light to shine around the room, and sure enough, the two empty pools that are Jaxon’s eyes shine back at me, full of envy and hatred. “The star-crossed couple re-finding themselves in my prison? How fucking delightful.” He seethes. Even though I know he poses no possible threat to either of us, I pull Ava closer, eyeing her from head-to-toe to make sure all of her is intact: red glossy hair, green shining eyes, small lips curved in frustration. She’s fin

  • These Reckless Vows: The Billionaire's Bride   Chapter 104: The Union

    Ava ~~~ I’ve forgotten how to breathe. I knew how to do it when Nicco and I finally pulled up to the dungeon spot. When, in shock, I stepped down to find all my loved ones already here. I remembered how to do it when Evelyn ran up to me like we hadn’t been separated two weeks and squeezed me in a hug that felt like home, when Oliver yelled “No fucking way.” Like six times, laughing and joining the embrace. I could do it under Bella’s watchful eye, refusing to acknowledge me and yet unable to tear her gaze away. I could even do it when I begun going down the stairs. But when you get caught lights-first by the love of your life, with no plan on seeing him again, then you forget how to breathe. “Ava?” He mutters, saying my name like I’m a ghost, like he’s not sure I’m entirely there. “I-“ I start, but I don’t continue, stunned into silence, if stunned is an appropriate word for the level of feelings I harbor for this man. He steps closer and in reaction I step back. I

    Ava ~~~ “We’re leaving now.” I whisper, standing over Nicco, passed out on the couch. He cracks a red eye open, shocked that I’m staring him, red hair on his face. “Well good morning to you too.” He grumbles, rubbing his eye and slowing getting up. I yank him up the rest of the way till his bolt upright, getting me a groan from him. “It’s actually 5pm. But we’re going now.” “What?” Now he’s really awake. He pulls his watch closer to his eyes and sure enough, 5:06pm stares back at him. “Ava, we can’t leave now, the plan needs-“ “Fuck your plan.” I rush out, already on my feet and walking out the door. I hear his footsteps and curses behind me as I reach the outside area. “Ava are you mental, what are you-“ “Sleeping pills. 5 crushed into Riley’s beloved tea. I told Riley I wasn’t sleeping well and needed them in my tea, then I switched our cups. ” It wasn’t my my genius plan ever, but desperate times call for desperate plans. Nicco seems to agree that it was haph

  • These Reckless Vows: The Billionaire's Bride   Chapter 101: The Reunion

    Leonel ~~~ The crowd goes manic but Bella and I don’t stick around for it. We rush to the other side of Oliver’s car and literally hurl ourselves into the backseat before Oliver puts the car in gear and slams into the gas pedal. Before I can even utter the words “thank you” we’re halfway down the street. I pause only to check if Bella is okay, but as usual not even a hair of her beautiful head is lifted. Only then do I turn to Oliver and say, “How did you-“ “You’re my boss.” He cuts me off, taking a sharp curve to the left, “I was mad at you but I was never going to leave you, man.” What is this feeling that clips in my chest at his admission? Is it guilt over remembering how I pulled a knife on him, or relief that he didn’t truly leave me? Even though, in all honesty, I didn’t doubt that he would come back. From the passenger seat, another voice rises in the zooming vehicle, one I didn’t notice was with us before: “I hate to break up the cutesy reunion, but Olive
