ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★As I stepped off the plane, I pulled my luggage behind me, the night air wrapping around me like a blanket. The flight had taken the usual eleven hours to reach the city.After leaving the airport, I stood outside, scanning the street for a cab. Just as one pulled up in front of me, I heard a familiar voice calling my name—Jeremy. I turned to see him weaving through the crowd, determination etched on his face as he made his way toward me.I swiftly stowed my luggage in the trunk and slid into the backseat, relaying my destination to the driver, who immediately started the engine and pulled away. As I stole a glance at him, I noticed the fury simmering beneath his calm exterior. I couldn't help but marvel at his patience for waiting at the airport until I finally emerged. Upon arriving at Carrie's house, I settled the fare and retrieved my bags, then approached the door, pressing the bell and knocking insistently. When my calls to her went unanswered, I felt a s

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★As I slept, I felt soft lips brush against my forehead, the familiar scent enveloping me, prompting a smile as he cuddled me closer. I nestled deeper into his embrace, and he tenderly kissed my hair. "Good morning," he whispered, and I slowly opened my eyes to meet his beautiful eyes."You smell amazing," I said, and his smile widened in response."Would you like to have a taste of me, then?" he asked, his voice dripping with flirtation, leaving me momentarily speechless. "What are you talking about?" I stammered, quickly trying to hide my flushed cheeks as I attempted to get off the bed. But he pulled me back on the bed, his face inches from mine, our noses brushing together as he held my hands above my head."Aren't you going to be late for work?" I asked him, a teasing smile playing on my lips."Well, I could easily spend the whole day with you," he replied, and I leaned in, stealing a quick kiss before grinning at him."Do it again," he urged, his eyes sparkl

JEREMY LIGHTWOOD★I was lost in a deep, comforting sleep when a voice, one I would cherish hearing every day, gently stirred me awake. As I smiled and turned to her, she sat beside me on the bed and pressed her lips to mine. "Good morning! Come on, get up; we have breakfast to enjoy, and a long day ahead of us," she said, her words brightening my mood. I couldn't help but smile as I gazed at her beautiful, round face. I ran my fingers through her hair, cupping her face as I looked into her eyes, still heavy with sleep."I thought I might spend the entire day gazing at your lovely face, hoping to make you fall for me all over again," I said, my voice still heavy with sleep, causing her to smile with a hint of blush on her cheeks. "Come on, let's have breakfast; don’t forget we have plans for today," she replied, rising from the bed.In that moment, I remembered that the New Year was just around the corner—only two days away. Our whole family would be gathering at Dad's for the cele

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★The good for something alarm blared loudly, prompting a groan as I stretched my arms to silence it. As I lay in bed, the familiar scent enveloped me, and I instinctively reached out, hoping to find him beside me. But when I opened my eyes, reality set in—I was back home, wearing one of his T-shirts. Slowly, I rose to my feet, taking in the comforting yet bittersweet surroundings."No wonder I caught a whiff of his scent," I mused, rising slowly to my feet, a tingling ache in my core reminding me of last night’s events. I covered my eyes to hide the blush creeping up my cheeks and made my way to the bathroom for a hot bath. It was the first day of the year, and the fashion house would be reopening today.After a quick but refreshing bath, I emerged from the bathroom and diligently applied my favorite skincare products, all while slipping into my office attire. Grabbing my bag, I hurried to leave the house."You seem to be in a rush," Gran remarked as I encountered

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★I paced around the room, hands shaky, lips dry. My heart was pounding so loud, I thought the entire office could hear it. I didn’t want anyone to see me like this, not today. Not after everything. My company had just been sabotaged. Files leaked, projects exposed, clients calling nonstop, investors angry and confused. Everything I had built was crumbling, and I was just... standing there.Lauren stood by me, glued to her phone, doing everything she could to calm the storm. I knew she was trying, I really did, but I couldn’t hear her voice clearly. The noise around me was deafening. My workers were all answering phones, trying to explain what they didn’t understand themselves. Police were walking through the building, inspecting, asking questions. One of them talked to the injured security guard, who was already bandaged up but still looked shaken."Ma'am? Ma'am? Mrs Lightwood?"I blinked and looked up. The head of police was staring at me, waiting for an answer I h
