Tyler POV Dad asked me to pick Shanelle up since there was something happening at Carlton High that required his presence. He mentioned something about a group of snobby boys, a nickname he had for the Crown boys. I knew those boys were trouble but I never thought they would do something on dad’s special day or weekend. I had seen two of them during the rehearsal so it must be the other three. Once I parked the car in the parking lot at the hotel’s basement, I went up to the first floor using the lift. I pulled out my phone and sent a text to Shanelle, letting her know that I had arrived. Her reply came shortly after, Still explaining things to Autumn. I’ll let you know once it’s finished. The

Autumn POVI bit my lips to prompt myself from crying. I had no one to blame but myself. I did not have the right to cry or to console myself by saying I did not mean any of that to happen because it was not true. When I had walked into that room, my mission was to do exactly what Tyler had said: have sex with Phraser. I had been so angry that I wanted to hurt him by doing it with Phraser.One was supposed to be enough. If I had self-control and if it was purely my revenge against Ty, one sex should be enough to prove a point yet I had kept both of us busy until four in the morning.Phraser was right. It had not been an accident. As much as I hated to admit it, I had used him to make myself feel better even if it was just for a few hours. He had the right to feel used, he had the right to feel hurt. I had been horrible to him. Not only that I had used him, but I also had harshly told him that all of that meant nothing.Had it really meant

Frazier POVI looked at the message that the cab driver, Roddy Lambert, had sent me and smiled. Roddy had even sent me a picture of Autumn walking into the building. I did not know whether that was relieving or stalkerish.After I had tipped the cleaning lady, I decided to stay in the hotel rather than go to William’s house. He would be really mad because he told me that he was throwing a party for me but he would get over it. I doubted he even noticed I was not there. Not if four of his friends and probably all of the kids from his school were there.I moved to the bed and then grabbed the remote to turn off all the lights, leaving only the bed lamp on. At last, I took my bathrobe off and laid down on the bed. Too many things had happened today and I was afraid that it would change how I look at things. I was scared if I let them ruin what Autumn and I might be having.Some relationships started with both parties agreeing on being

You’re perfectly wrong for me but when we’re making love, you make it worth it. Autumn POVA tear slipped out of one corner of her eyes before her eyes filled with determination. “I promise.”I pulled her into a hug and realized how much I missed her.“Norma,” I said once we pulled away. “I found out something about Tyler but I’m not sure.”My best friend’s face turned serious. “What did you find?”“I think he’s in trouble.” I tried to remember what I had learned the previous night. “I overheard him talking with Luke and they mentioned him being involved with some Italian mafia.”“What?!” Norma moved on the bed and sat cross-legged. “Is he doing drugs again?”“No,” I answered then realized that I actually had no clue whether he was or not. “I

Frazier POVIsobel Windsor aka my mother was actually a mystery that could never be solved. At the age of sixteen — barely legal I dared say, she had married my father who was twenty years old at that time, making him the happiest man on earth although, in the process, she had made my grandparents really unhappy. My mother was part of the royal family as her father — William’s and my grandfather —was a duke, she was supposed to marry someone with either royal status or from other British rich families, not someone from a middle-class family like Darragh Ronan, my father. She had been pregnant so my grandparents had no choice but to give them their consent if they did not want to lose their only daughter.Until this very day, I dared say that my grandfather still regretted the decision of sending her to study in Dublin which was where she had met my father. My dad knew about it and he turned that into motivation as he moved to NY
