our little warrior insists, trying not to cry. As I tend to the scrape, Alex shows a letter that arrived. "The independent publisher from Seattle," he explains. "They want to publish your next book. No strings, no conditions." "NEW NORMAL: How the Publishing Market Rebuilds Post-Morrison" • Publishing Insights "Claire Bennett Launches Foundation in Her Sister’s Name: 'For Freedom of Expression'" • Culture Weekly Six Months Later The house is full for the twins’ birthday. Seven years—sometimes I can hardly believe it. Claire brings a huge cake, decorated with dinosaurs and books.

“I need a favor.” “You’re eight years too late for favors.” “I’m also the reason one of your biggest deals in Singapore didn’t implode.” I swore under my breath. She wasn’t lying. Claire West — venture strategist, fixer, ex-problem solver with an NDA portfolio longer than most CEOs’ resumes. And also… the woman I almost married. The woman I left right before I disappeared to Vegas. Before Melinda. Before everything. “Don’t worry,” she added. “I’m not here to reopen anything.”

RILEY'S POV I should have known Claire was up to something the moment she barged into my room with that sweet smile plastered across her face. Claire’s smiles were many things, chaotic, mischievous, trouble-inducing, but innocent was never one of them. Not once, in all the years I’d known her. “Pack a bag,” she announced like a drill sergeant, yanking my wardrobe open. “We’re going on a trip this weekend.” “For what?” I blinked at her, half awake. It was barely 7:00am.

“What kind of business?” The look he gives me is respectful but impenetrable. “The kind he handles personally, ma’am.” Claire decides she doesn’t want to sleep alone. She shows up at my door at eleven, barefoot and dragging the wooden box like it’s a teddy bear. She doesn’t ask if she can stay—she simply climbs into my bed with the naturalness of someone who has done it a thousand times before. We spend hours under the thick Irish wool duvet while she shows me every photo, every note in the notebooks, filling in the gaps of a life I don’t remember living. Her voice grows slower, her sentences more fragmented, until it turns into the soft rhythm of a sleeping child’s breathing.

Williams Company Skycapres Manhattan, New York, US. A month later Sometimes, someone has to let the wind carry their life away to know how far one can deal with any unexpected paths. Claire never let life take her too far. She always follows a safe plan that has little risk. She is afraid of having her heart broken. Therefore, when her friends at school are busy making new acquaintances and falling in love the easy way, Claire prefers to drown herself in a pile of books in her dorm.

Don't forget to wear the clothes! A smile appeared on Claire's face after she read the entire writing on that piece of paper. “Alex's grandmother is so kind. Not only does she show concern, but she treats me the way she treats her own granddaughter,” Claire murmured. It turned out that Emma really did buy her a lot of clothes from famous boutiques. There were several shirts for Alex. Claire also found a book there entitled “Secrets of a Harmonious Household”. Just reading the title, Claire's forehead was already furrowed.

Well, because I was. I licked my lips. “No. I’m not okay. Not at all.” Unexpectedly, Kaelen swooped in and tugged me against his chest. He enveloped me in his leather and whiskey scent, and his strong arms, and I let the rest of the world fall away. “Here it is.” Beau handed the book to Claire. “What exactly are we looking for in a book about magical blood feuds?” Claire ignored him as she flipped through and scanned the pages.

"It's not about the money. I just want to complete the book and probably start a different book while waiting for the baby. My mind needs to keep working or I'll go insane." "None of you can convince her to slow down. Once she put herself on her own deadline she'll complete it." Claire commented. "By the way, the house next door will be on sale by next month. You guys might be interested so I ask them not to post it." Claire asked after Stephanie and Samuel left. "We should check it out." I stated looking at Raquel. "You don't want to move next to these two." Raquel stated laughing. "I'll schedule a tour with the owners next week." Claire replied excitedly.

**Story 3: The Widow’s List** **Chapter 3** Claire was changing. The shy, grieving widow who had cried for days after Daniel’s funeral was gone. In her place was a woman discovering just how much she loved being used — how wet she got when a man looked at her like a piece of meat instead of a delicate flower. By the end of the second week, she had crossed off six names on the list. Each encounter left her hungrier for the next.
