On Tuesday, I am standing in the middle of the new bakery looking around, feeling somewhat disappointed in what is happening. But as they say, every setback will bring a great comeback.“Thank you for coming,’’ I smile at the man after he explained everything to me.‘’No need to thank me, I am only doing my work.’’ He smiles.I glance at my watch and see that it is close to the time for me to go conduct my interviews because with a new space, I will need more employees.I take off my hard hat and head through the door, where John opens the car door for me.‘’Mr. Thomas.’’I smile at him. ‘’Thank you for picking me up.’’We get to downtown to where Asher rented a small office for me.I see Kurt is already there and so is Georgia‘’Sorry I am late, I apologize.’’‘’You are not late at all, we still have another fifteen minutes,’’ Kurt tells me.‘’Ok, how many people are coming today?’’ I ask.Georgia lifts up a box and drops it on the table. ‘’There are at least a hundred resumes.’’‘’T

''Wow, I wish when I told my ex-boyfriend that I was pregnant. He was so happy, instead, he ran as if I was about to kill him.''''He is a dick. If I wasn't gay, I would have totally dated you.'' Noah touches Georgia's shoulder.''Dating someone and being a supportive father are two different things.'' Georgia shakes her head.Samantha sighs. '‘Wow, boss. You are living the dream, I never knew fairy tales were real until I met you.’’I laugh. ‘’Trust me, there were a lot of downward spirals.’’‘’Yeah, but look at where you are now.’’The bell dings, signaling a customer.‘’Good morning.’’ I smile but that lady who has been frequenting my shop frowns at me.''You bitch!'' she yells.I exchange a look with Samantha who has a sneer on her face as she looks the woman up and down.‘’Millie Thomas,’’ the woman says then laughs.‘’I’m sorry but can I help you?’’Her face twists into anger. ‘’Help me? Well, you little bitch, you and that damn baby you are carrying are stealing away from me an

I don’t know what happened, but a part of my shop is on fire. With it being a Sunday, it is never open, so I can’t say it is the oven. We left nothing plugged in because I checked and double-checked that things were off before leaving.‘’Fuck,’’ Tessann lets out as she too takes in the scene. ‘’How did this even happen?’’I shake my head because if it wasn’t for the fire department call, I wouldn’t know that there was a fire.All I can do after giving a statement is clean up as best as I can. Most of the chairs and tables are gone, and half of the counter is burnt.Asher comes by, knocking on the door, and I let him in.‘’I came as soon as I could.’’‘’Thanks, but there is much that needs to be done.’’Asher looks around before removing his coat and then his suit jacket. He rolls up his sleeve and turns back to me.‘’What can I do to help?’’‘’Grab a broom, I guess.’’He follows me to the kitchen area and looks around with a frown.‘’This is sabotage,’’ he says.“What do you mean?”‘’

‘’What really is your plan, Catherine?’’ Dovey asks when the older woman gets off the phone.‘’The Thomas’ owe me millions and I want it back,’’ Catherine says.‘’How do they owe you?’’ Dovey asks.Catherine gets to explain the situation. When she is done, Sabrina exchanges a look with Dovey, but she isn’t looking at her.‘’I don’t think that money or business is yours. I mean the contract has been forfeited since that baby is born, also Mr. Thomas could easily change his words.’’ Sabrina says.Catherine gives her a look. ‘’If you aren’t with me, then you can go, but just remember that I get you out of that madhouse and you are already deep in this. I have ways to turn this all on you.’’Sabrina rolls her eyes. ‘’I’m sure we won’t even get a cut out of your ‘fortune’ if you should even be successful. We are nothing but your pawns.’’Catherine crosses her leg. ‘’You are acting as if you aren’t getting something out of this.’’‘’What am I getting? Because all I hear is me, me, me, and t

I stir from my sleep when a hand drops around my waist, before roughly pulling me closer. I rest my head back on the pillow after remembering where I am and settle into the familiar form of my husband.I make sure to force my ass into his front while basking in the heat that is coming off him.‘’You’re awake.’’ Asher’s voice rumbles in the dark.“It’s because you insist on taking me with you each time you turn.”“Maybe because I like sleeping next to you.” His fingers glide up to my side, then his hand pulls me even closer. He kisses the top of my head.We lie there for a while in comfortable silence, with his arm snug around my middle and circling my small bump, and his chin on the top of my head.‘’I love you, Millie,’’ he murmurs in my ear, and I smile.‘’I love you too.’’Asher has easily become my favorite person and these are the moments I cherish the most.Even though there are people who want this to fail, and keep saying our relationship won’t last, I know that it will.
