~Lianna Black~A knock on my door sounded. It’s obviously Alexa since my twin is the only other living soul inside this house apart from me.“Lian,” Alexa called, “I’m coming in.”Looking at the clock resting on top of my bedside table, it was screaming at me to stand up and start living my life again.After that talk I had with Ace, I am lost and unsure of what I would do with my life. I thought I could escape him, but he found me. It didn’t even take him an entire month, and he found me. Just like that.There was this petty part of me hoping he would actually follow my wishes. I needed him to leave me alone.Everything that happened betw

~Lianna Black~Ace’s presence inside the bookstore was a bit overwhelming.Even Nana Clara took notice of Ace and instantly became fond of him. They mostly talked about World War II where Nana Clara shared how her father served in the US army. Surprisingly, Ace was respectful of the old lady and he was keen on listening to her long story. While they had tea and cookies, I got to admire how good looking Ace was.The gray cable knit crew neck, black jeans and boots he was wearing were fairly simple, but he looks like he just came out of GQ magazine. How can he manage to look so gorgeous in such simple clothes is still a wonder to me... He’s such a fine sight, to all the girls that walked into the shop as well.Before I came here, the bookstore was just filled w

~Lianna Black~Jonah was in the same state I found him in yesterday. An apron wrapped around his waist while he was wiping what seems to be sauce from his hands with a white towel. His scarlet hair tied in a low bun, his arms wide open for me, which I gladly came home to.“Did Alexa hire you to be our new cook?” I mumbled, pulling away from Jonah’s embrace.Shrugging his shoulder, Jonah’s muscle-flexing under his black V-neck tee. “I wouldn’t mind living with two gorgeous girls.” He reached for my forehead as if to remove the frown I have on all day.He didn’t comment on it, but his actions made me giggle. The smell of delicious food hit my senses as we walked inside the house. “Wow, smells delicious.” I uttered

~Lianna Black~My tummy was aching. The clenching of my chest was so unbearable that every customer inside the café was giving me weird glances.I was laughing so hard. This was the best laugh I’ve had in a long while.“Are you sure you’re alright, Luka?” I wiped the side of my eyes where beads of happy tears had formed. “Damn, that was a good one.”Luka’s friendly face remained calm… blank. “I’m not joking around, Lianna.” He clarified calmly. “I’ve stayed as far away from you as possible, but this is just fucked up. You’re pregnant with Ace’s child. I can give you and the baby a better life than what he can offer.”Can I

~Lianna Black~“Are we going to get up from this bed or what?” was my question when Ace wouldn’t even allow me to go to the bathroom. “I need to pee so badly, Ace.”“No” he only tightened his arms around me.“Come on, Ace” I groaned. It was a cute and sweet gesture, but when your bladder is about to explode, it’ll get annoying at some point.“Fine,” throwing the covers off of our body, Ace scooped me in his arms and carried me to the bathroom. “Do it.”Rolling my eyes, he finally allowed me to stand on my feet. “Are you just going to stand there?” I groaned when he didn’t move from where he was standing.
