LUNETHI think long and hard about what I want to do. From the way Maljore was bluffing earlier, she wanted to stall. She knew that this was going to put her in a tough spot, so she was doing this for a reason. There was no way she would actually try to hurt Aria just to prove a point, right? I touch up my makeup and then leave to join them in the waiting area. We had to go in about ten minutes. Maljore's eyes trail me as I pass her and stop in front of Drexon and Marcus."I just spoke to Cindy." I am as calm as I can be. I do not want to give her the satisfaction she is looking for. Something told me that Aria was safe and sound. There was no way that she had actually been able to infiltrate the compound so easily. I was trying to make up an excuse in my brain, but none of it was making sense."And?" Drexon's frown deepened as he watched me just standing there with my hands crossed over my body."Aria is missing," I say gently. "They were playing hide and seek, and she is...""In the

AUTHOR'S POVRose looked up at Melissa, dressed as if she were ready to step out of the house and walk the runway the next minute. Her hair and makeup looked almost professionally done. She was wearing a floor-length dress that exposed just enough to make her look desirable but also untouchable."Now is not the time," Rose said, ready to dismiss her. Now was not the time to talk about the petty millions she wanted to lock away in some account. She could easily give that to her even when she was in jail, but the thought of losing her company was too daunting for her to just let it go."It's now or never," Melissa said as she entered the room, closing the door as loudly as she could and striding right into the room."What is it?" Rose managed to lift herself off the ground with the help of the assistant. Melissa's eyes strayed to the assistant as she looked him up and down lustfully and then back to Rose. "He can stay to listen," Rose added as she walked over to the table and pushed hers

LUNETHDrexon had done the exact opposite of what I asked of him. It did not help that the morning sickness seemed to be worsening day by day, and everything made in the kitchen seemed to start tummy trouble for me. I was constantly getting lightheaded and dizzy, and when Drexon had mentioned it to the doctor, she simply said it was normal for the early stage of pregnancy and that if it persisted, then we could check into it."Do you want me to call the doctor over?" he asked as he helped me from the toilet to the bed."I am fine; you need to go to work," I say, knowing where he was going with that. "You do not have the luxury to be here with me," I add, even though it is not entirely true. I feel like, since we got legally hitched, he has missed work more times than he has since he started at the company, and people are going to think it was my fault in the end."Work can wait; you do not look fine." Drexon said with worry knitted on his face, and maybe he was right to worry. I had be

LUNETH"I leave you alone for one minute, and you make headlines surpassing my name." I roll my eyes over the phone. I did not expect that people were going to take a video from outside the courthouse and run with it.His call was surprising because he had left earlier because of a meeting he could not cancel. I thought he was supposed to be in the meeting. I was still on my way home when the news broke out with the video of me and Lucy's mom. It was not like we were fighting, but people seemed to like the details of the gist. Of course, everyone with a sane brain could hear that she was in the wrong, but there were still people who thought I was being cruel for sending my best friend to jail."I had been worried that people were going to talk about you all week; I guess it is a good thing that my name popped." I did not mean that. I hated seeing my name in the news, but at least people weren't calling me weak like they were to Drexon."Oh, really? Are you saying you did this on purpos

LUNETH"What? What?""Oh my goodness!""How is that possible?"Everyone around the table was murmuring so happily. "I knew it," Cindy said with a smile on her face."You knew it? Then why didn't you say anything?""I was not sure, and I did not want you to feel like I was prying in on your life," she added. I was curious as to how she knew. Was it because she was a mom herself? "You were skipping breakfast a lot in the past few days, being picky with your meals, and you began to increase a bit in size..." she trailed off as if she was counting off things I had done to make it more obvious to her."But I still have to say congratulations; that is so wonderful, it calls for a celebration," she said, beaming."Mommy?""Mommy is having a baby," I explain to Aria and watch her face turn into a huge smile, her tooth bared out in happiness. She pointed to my belly and leaned in."Mommy is going to have a sister for me." She was almost too sure that I would have believed it as well."A sister?
