    EverettThe last couple of days have been hell. I shouldn’t be in London! I should be home with Aubrey after everything that happened, but she told me to stay put. I wasn’t going to listen because I know she needs me, but my return will add to her stress because of Hugo and Erica not knowing. They would know there was something, but by what Aubrey said, Erica would be fine with it. We are still on the fence about Hugo. I don’t want to make things worse for Aubrey.My focus has been nearly nonexistent. My worry levels have been sky-high. Work is the last thing on my mind, but I am stuck here, and I hate it. I have been staying out of everyone’s way because I have been taking my mood out on them, and I don’t want to do that. I can do that, not with this being a new business. We can afford for everyone to quit. I only deal with them if I really need to.All I want is to jump on the next flight, and it is taking everything in me not to do that. Hugo will be here in a couple of days. I kno

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Seventy-One

    Aubrey I head downstairs after my call with Everett. It took a lot of convincing for him not to fly home. It would raise too many questions. Hugo is already suspicious enough after Everett demanded to talk to me. This is not how I want Hugo and Erica to find out about us. I stop at the bottom of the stairs as I hear them talking. “Something is going on, Erica. He was so determined to talk with her and make sure she was okay. I swear, he better not have made his move and succeeded. I love my brother, but he shouldn’t be with Aubrey. He is only going to hurt her. He is already seeing another woman. So, not only is he going to hurt Aubrey, he will hurt Addie too.” Hugo sighs. I am surprised he hasn’t put it all together and worked out that I am Addie. “Hugo, if something is going on between them, it is none of our business. We can’t tell them not to. They are adults. Would it be such a bad thing? You must notice the change in Everett. He is not the same person he was a few months ago

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Seventy

    Everett It is late when I arrive home from the office. I went to work after I dropped Aubrey off at the airport. I wasn’t going to, but I needed a distraction. I am looking forward to our phone call a little later. I sigh as I glance around, hating that I am alone here again. I much preferred it when Aubrey was here. I groan and toss my thighs down. I need to call Hugo. I always check in with him on a Monday to see how the week started off. He will be back here in no time. I pop the buttons of my coat open, loosen my tie and pour a scotch before settling on the sofa to call him. It rings a couple of times before he answers. “Hello, big brother.” “Hey, how are things? How was your day?” He sighs loudly on the other end. Something is wrong. “Not so good.” “Why, what happened? Is everything okay? Is Erica and the kids okay?” I panic.“We are all fine. It is Aubrey. When she came home from her trip, her apartment was wrecked; something had broken in and destroyed the place. We assum

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Sixty-Nine

    Aubrey I arrive home after a long flight, exhausted and sad. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I am glad I found the courage to tell him how I truly felt. I didn’t expect him to feel the same. Smiling at the thought, I go to unlock the door—and realize it’s already open. What the hell? I’m sure I locked it. I push it open. An eerie feeling overtakes me. My apartment is trashed. Everything is smashed. I freeze, fear gripping me. Who did this? What if they’re still here? Only Benji would do this—but how did he get in? How did no one hear it?I turn and sprint back out, scared in case Benji is still here. I dart downstairs and out into the street. My heart pounds in my chest, and my hands shake. I glance around, making sure he is around somewhere. Did he come to get me? And when he realised I wasn’t there, he got mad and took it out on the apartment. Either that or he has been watching me and knew I was away.With my shaky hand, I take my cell from my bag and call Erica.“Hey, swee

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Sixty-Eight

    Everett Our weekend has passed too quickly! I didn’t want her to leave, but she needs to. I wish I could fly back with her, but I am stuck here for another couple of weeks. We need to leave in an hour to get to the airport. Aubrey is now just packing her things. She decided to leave it to the very last minute, so she wasn’t reminded too early that she would be leaving. She is huffing and cursing as she does, throwing everything in. If the situation didn’t lead to Aubrey leaving, then I would laugh, but I am not really in the laughing mood. “You can still stay longer, Aubrey.” She sighs loudly and turns to me. “I can’t. I need to get back to work. I can’t stay in London without telling Hugo and Erica the truth.” I draw in my breath and run my fingers through my hair. “I know, wishful thinking, I guess.” “You will be returning home in no time,” Aubrey replies, trying to put a positive spin on it. I know it is hard for me, as it is for her. Once packed, she closes her bag with forc

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Sixty-Seven

    Aubrey It feels good to be wrapped in Everett’s arms once again. Two weeks have felt like six months. I dance my fingers over his bare, warm chest from the hot sex we just had. I nuzzle my face in his neck. “I have missed being wrapped in your arms.” Everett places a kiss on the top of my head. “I have missed you in my arms, angel. I was worried there for a while. I thought my leaving had ruined everything for us.” He sighs. He wasn’t the only one. I meet his sigh. “I know, I am sorry. That was my fault.” I let everything get on top of me, and the worst thoughts ran through my head. Everett strokes my hair. “You have nothing to be sorry for, Aubrey. I understand it. I almost became unreachable after promising you things wouldn’t change.” I just hope when I return home on Monday, the next couple of weeks don’t go the same way. I can’t deal with it. I hate myself for it, but due to my past, I worry about things more than most, more than I should be. “It is okay, but promise me i

    Everett“Thank you for dinner.” Aubrey smiles as we head through to the living room with a glass of wine.“You are welcome. I am glad you came. I honestly believed you would have changed your mind.”She raises her brow at me. “Like I had a choice. If I didn’t, you would have shown up at my place.”
