Sara Lauren called that morning and invited me to hang out, so we decided to go to Mabel's for lunch. It had been a while since we'd been able to do that, so I agreed. I warned her that I probably wasn't going to be much fun, but she said that was all the more reason to go. Mabel's had never failed to improve my mood before, and I had to concede that she probably had a point... "That's great that you're going to go see your friend," Jaxon told me with a tentative smile, "and Mabel's always makes you happy. That's a great idea!" My husband still walked on eggshells with me, and honestly, I couldn't really blame him for that. I still wasn't myself, I knew that. I tried really hard to be the person I was before the miscarriage, but I just couldn't seem to get there."Yeah, Lauren said the same thing," I admitted with a sigh. "I don't really feel like going out, but I think it will be good for me." I scanned the contents of my closet with a sigh. I hadn't been shopping in

Sara"This can’t be right," I muttered to myself. Tori was instantly leaning over to view the information on my computer screen. "What? That’s excellent!" Tori exclaimed. "Why do you sound upset?" "I’m not upset, I’m just confused. I have hardly been here, and these novels have only been circulating for a few months. They can’t be this high already…" I refreshed and adjusted the numbers on the screen but nothing changed. "Just take the win and be happy, girl!" The optimism in Tori’s voice was a bit annoying. Sometimes it was difficult to deal with her peppiness. I continued to review the screen. "I’ll be right back," I mumbled before quickly getting up and walking out of the office. I didn’t wait to see if Tori had a response. I moved sluggishly toward the elevator and pushed the button for Jaxon’s floor. As the elevator rose, I felt like my body was being pulled more strongly to the ground, like it was trying to resist moving. I sighed and forced myself to shake the fee

JaxonI leaned against the edge of my desk as the door pushed open. Max walked in, followed quickly by Oliver and James. They came and formed a half circle around me and almost in sync crossed their arms over their chest. I took a deep breath and tried to compose myself as I spoke. "I had an idea. I’m hoping this idea will help eliminate the danger and problems with the Frankie brothers. I reached out to the Vitullo family, and I’m going to set up a meeting with them. I’m hoping that we can meet and I can persuade them to join our side instead. If they are with us, the Frankie brothers will have no support and no resources to attack us." Max and Oliver exchanged a glance. James kept his eyes on me and narrowed them. "You called them already?" James asked. He sounded frustrated and annoyed. "Yes, I did. I haven't set up a time with them yet. I wanted to go over with you all and figure out the best plan," I explained. This only seemed to upset James further. "Why didn’t yo

JaxonBesides the sound of the radio playing quietly in the background, the car was completely silent as we made our way to the agreed-upon meeting with the Vitullos. It had been quite tense from the moment we'd woken up today. Sara was still quite pissed off at me for trying to find a way to keep her away from the meeting.We seemed to be having the same fight on repeat, and I didn't know how to get us out of this cycle. I always meant it when I said I would include Sara more, but I couldn't seem to follow through with it. The instinct and desire to protect her was much stronger, and I didn't know how to change that, especially after everything we had just been through. I wanted to protect her more than ever and make sure that I didn't make the same mistakes. I already felt like I'd failed as a husband several times over–and I was still failing. I sighed quietly, my eyes darting to look at Sara quickly. Neither of us had said anything to each other that morning, and I only hop

Jaxon I had to admit, I was impressed with my wife's negotiation skills. I had known plenty of Dons in my time, and I honestly didn't know many who could have handled Tatiana nearly as well as she had. I realized that I had to start giving her more credit. She knew what she was doing, and I was damn lucky that she was on my side. "Baby, I'm really proud of you," I told Sara while we were on the deck, relaxing with a bottle of wine. "You know, you really handled that whole situation with Tatiana like a pro. I'm impressed, and as you know, I don't say that lightly. Great job." I couldn't help but notice how gorgeous she was tonight. Her wild strawberry hair spilling over her shoulders, and the miniskirt that had ridden up just a touch when she sat down, exposing her long, shapely legs. "Why thank you," she replied with a smile of satisfaction. "I told you I knew how to handle Tatiana. She's not so bad, she's just a woman trying to figure things out in a world dominated by guys
