          Rain battered the windows of the penthouse and thunder rumbled far out. Magnus yawned and instinctively pulled Sunny tighter against his body to keep her close to his heart…          Keep her safe.          He opened one eye and glanced around for the clock. It was five in the morning. Way too early for most people but not for him. He was used to getting up by six every morning so falling back to sleep wasn’t going to happen.          Especially with the gorgeous naked woman at his side.          Memories of last night drifted through his mind as he carefully pulled himself free of Sunny’s soft body and slipped to the edge of the bed. He wasn’t sure how many times she cried out his name, or vice

“‘You seem his stalker, not his mother, Tora. Let him be. He’s not a baby anymore,’” his father countered.“‘Harald Gunnar Karlsen, shame on you for saying such an awful thing. I’m his mother. I must keep an eye on him… or call him… as often as I see fit,’” his mother replied. Magnus grinned, listening to his parents’ banter back and forth while he dug through his freezer.“‘You’re right, my sweet wife. I’m sorry for saying that. I’ll leave you two alone. Bye, son. See you tomorrow night.’”“Bye, Dad!” Tora and Harald Karlsen were unique. They’ve had their ups and downs but their love was as strong as ever. And their marriage… Even if it was far from perfect, it was the type of marriage Magnus wanted, and he’d thought he would have with Charlotte until she used him and dumped him. As for Sunny… She was definitely different. Still, until he knew for sure what was going on with her, what she was hiding, he would have to take it a

          Sunny looked at the outfits lying on the bed. Both seemed pretty elegant for a dinner with her fake in-laws. Normally, she wouldn’t care that much but the guests were Tora and Harald and she wanted to impress them.“One last time… Tomorrow, the fairytale will be over…”          She was feeling so nervous… Like never before. There were so many things going on in her mind right now. The debt, Alec’s situation, the fact that her mother disappeared from the face of the Earth.          And it didn’t help that Magnus started acting like she was a simple guest in his house.          Like, suddenly, he didn’t know her.          Like he didn’t have feelings for

All through the night, Sunny tossed and turned, trying not to cry, trying not to think of Magnus, trying to forget what happened that evening, in his penthouse, the way he humiliated her in front of his parents. After she returned to her little apartment, the moment she closed the door behind her, Sunny took off the clothes and shoes she chose to wear for the dinner and threw everything into the trash bin. She didn’t want to see them or wear them ever again. She took a quick shower and got in bed, determined to get some sleep.“Don’t you dare cry now!” she scolded herself. “Don’t you fucking dare! You’ll do it later. Right now, Alec needs you!” Nonetheless, there was no sleep to be found. Alec was still in Tony’s hands and she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to bring him home, to safety.“Oh, Alec, I told you to leave this apartment… If only you’d listen to me. You wouldn’t be at this critical point… fighting to stay alive.” Extremely early, she

           Magnus glanced over his shoulder to find the brunette still standing there so he took the hand the man offered him.“Pleasure to meet you… Mister…?”“Amato. My name is Antonio Amato,” the man replied as his eyes narrowed on Magnus’s face. “But you can call me Tony. All my friends do.”          Not impressed by the man, Magnus prepared to say his name.“Wait, wait… Don’t tell me. I think I know who you are! Your name is Magnus Karlsen.”          Quite perplexed, Magnus nodded.          Who was this guy?          How come he knew him?“I’m surprised to see such a fine businessman like yourself here
