RicoI'm really not in the mood to go to her house or help her with anything, but it has nothing to do with her or conversation or how things went.As it is now, I'm still thinking about the turns my life has taken with disbelief. Pulling up in front of her apartment, I can see her standing at the door, waiting for me. As much as I don't want to admit the truth, it feels like she's welcoming me home.But this isn't my home. She betrayed me. Still, it's hard not to see a lot of it as water under the bridge now. No harm, no foul. I get out of the car and close the door behind me, walking up toward her while keeping my gaze locked on hers.She watches me approach, her eyes warm, but her mouth is turned slightly down at the corners. There are bags under her eyes, as if she hasn't been sleeping well, and her well-fitted jeans and tank top are a far cry from her usual business attire. To be honest, I like the way she looks no matter what she's wearing, not that my opinion matters. I have to

SandraRico offers for me to come over to his place via text and I gratefully accept.After spending a little bit of time with my mom and dad, I feel certain that it's time to have this conversation. I didn't want to corner him while he was helping me load and unload boxes because of the news he gave me about his mom. I know he doesn't seem fazed about Grace’s death, but losing a parent is difficult, regardless of what your relationship with that person is.After having a long conversation with my mom about everything, she also agreed that it might be a good idea to reach out and at least let him know that I’m sorry for everything I did and said, for betraying him, for letting him down when I should have been strong for him.Still, my heart's pounding like crazy as I drive to his place. What if he tells me he doesn't want to hear it? What if he's not interested in talking? What if he doesn't accept my apology? I know those are all perfectly valid ways for him to deal with the situatio

Rico“I'm convinced that with diet and lifestyle changes, he has an incredibly good outcome based on what I’ve seen.” The specialist's voice is calm and reassuring, and I'm a bit relieved at the news.“Thank you so much for your time and consideration.” As we say our goodbyes and hang up the phone, I can't help but be relaxed. While things might have gone poorly between Sandra and me in our last meeting, I am still glad to know that her father is well on the road to recovery and will mend just fine with time and a bit of work.Sandra, Ethel and Dalton will no doubt appreciate the information too, as well as the continued specialist visits I’ve set up for ongoing care of Dalton. I don’t mind paying out of pocket for their peace of mind.I sit back in my seat, thinking about how much my life has changed in such a short period of time.My phone rings again and I'm quick to answer it. “Are you sitting down?” Blake clearly doesn't even have the time for pleasantries and hellos, he just div

SandraAt the end of the day, when everything is said and done, I don't blame him for any of the things he did, and it sounds like he's completely forgiven me for what I've done.In all honesty, it feels like we're both lucky in this situation because I am absolutely, completely, totally, wholly head over heels in love with Rico.I don't know exactly when it happened, and if somebody held a gun to my head and told me to pinpoint the exact moment, I wouldn't be able to answer that question. I know he has his bad qualities and there are certain business practices he does that I am not too fond of, but he’s been good to me, discounting his anger when he discovered I betrayed him.But given that, his anger led to a sharp, pointed conversation. I can’t even criticize him on that point. Somehow we've managed to handle all of our disputes like adults. Like human beings, we’re perfectly imperfect. We make mistakes, we mess up, we apologize, we have conversations. Then we decide if everything

BLURB:She works for me. Lives under my roof.But somehow, I’m the one losing control.Every time I assert power, Thea throws it back in my face—with fire in her eyes and no fear in her spine.She doesn’t know who I am. What I’m capable of. Where I spend my nights.I break women. Command them.They beg to please me.But Thea? She fucking defies me.And she thinks I don’t see through her.The secrets she hides like armor.The past she pretends never happened.But I know.And if she keeps testing me, I’ll use every piece of it.To own her.To ruin her.To make her mine.She’s not supposed to tempt me.She’s not supposed to survive me.But if she keeps playing with fire...She’s going to learn exactly what it means to burn.•°•Chapter 1TheaLife is so unfair. I blink back tears as my fingers flex around the steering wheel of my old car.I know that's a silly thing to think and a stupid way to feel but given the last couple of weeks and what I've been dealing with at this point, all I ca
