A R I A N AThe moment I got home, I sent the kids to their room to play with strict instructions not to come out I couldn't let them see me like this.Then, I practically ran down the hall to Sarah's apartment. I didn't even knock, I just walked in and collapsed on her sofa, bursting into tears.Sarah rushed over. "Ariana! What in the world happened? Did you lose your job?"I shook my head, sobbing so hard I could barely speak. "Worse," I choked out. "So much worse."I told her everything about walking into the conference room, about seeing him, the cold, hard look in his eyes that felt like a physical blow."It's Dante, Sarah," I cried, my voice muffled by her sweater. "The new CEO... it's Dante after all these years, he found me… I’m so fucked"Sarah gasped, her arms tightening around me. "Oh my god! No.""And he hates me so much" I continued, the words pouring out in a torrent of misery. "I could see it deep in his eyes, he looked at me like I was something he'd scraped off his s

A R I A N AI did not sleep at all last night after Jessica's call, I was too scared to sleep, Dante’s thoughts has kept me awake throughout the night. I got out of bed two hours early I made sure the alarm was loud, I made sure to get the kids ready perfectly and I dropped them off at school with time to spare before I drove to the office building where Dante was staying.I was an hour early, I would not be late I could not give him any reason to be angrier.I walked into the reception area meeting Jessica she was leaning against the reception desk, sipping a coffee looking like she had been waiting for me."Well, well," she said with a nasty smile. "Look who decided to be on time. Too little, too late, if you ask me."I took a deep breath fighting back the urge to talk back she had the upper hand now and Id give her that, "Good morning, Jessica. Is Mr. Russo in? I am ready to begin work."She laughed. "Mr. Russo is a very busy man he will be coming in late today but he left very

D A N T EI turned my back on her as I walked to my desk trying to breathe but I could still feel her lips on mine.I could still taste her.It made me so angry that even after five years, five fucking years of hating her yet my body still wanted her. The second I touched her, my dick got hard It was a betrayal, my own body was betraying me.I heard a small sound from behind me. A sob.It was like pouring gasoline on my anger.I turned around she was on the floor, crying looking small and broken… and still so beautiful It made me want to break her even more.I crossed the room in three long strides not saying a word I just reached down, grabbed her face, and reclaimed her lips.This kiss was not to shut her up, the kiss was because I had to It was a fire in my blood I could not put out.She gasped against my mouth. She tried to turn her head, but I held her firm, I kissed her deeper, my tongue forcing its way into her mouth. She tasted the same, she still tasted like mine.A gro

A R I A N A My phone ringing cut through my haze, it was a call from Asher's school.My heart, which was already pounding, jumped into my throat as I answered with a shaking hand."Ms. Melendez? This is Nurse Grace from Asher's school there’s been an incident your son collapsed during gym class he’s conscious now but he was unresponsive for a moment. The ambulance has taken him to St. Mary's Hospital. You need to come right away."My heart dropped as reality came crashing down on me.Today is defiantly not my day. What!No! Please no!"No," I whispered. "Is he okay? What happened?" I asked as new set of tears formed at the brim of my eyes.“please come to the hospital Ms. Melendez they'll explain everything."I ran out of the building with my body quivering in fear I didn't remember getting a taxi to the hospital It was a blur of traffic lights and panic. I got down of the taxi and ran through the automatic doors of the emergency room.I must have looked like a madwoman with my

I took a deep my lips tugging into a slight smile as I pushed open the door. The sight inside made my heart feel both full and empty.Asher was sitting up in his bed looking so much better. Sarah was there sitting in a chair nearby and the twins were all around his bed, they missed their big brother.They were all playing a card game al lost in their game that they didn’t even notice me walk in, I haven’t heard them laugh so much since Asher got sick.Isabella was trying to explain the rules while Sophia was trying to cheating as she was hiding a card under her leg.“Mummy!” Asher saw me first his whole face lit up.“Hi my love,” I said as I walked to the bed and kissed his forehead. “Mummy you’re back!” Sophia yelled as she jumped up and hugged my waist.Isabella looked up from her cards. “Mummy we are pl
