After making all of these decisions, I let out a breath of relief. Then, I decided to head down to the bar Ethan owned to look for him. Ethan's bar was called Moonlight Lounge. Once I reached the main entrance of the building, I saw Blaise, who was supposed to be recuperating in the hospital. Blaise's arm was wrapped around Susie's waist, and the pair looked incredibly intimate. When Blaise caught sight of me, he stopped caressing Susie's face and frowned.

He said an important overseas meeting had come up and that he would be away on a business trip for a few days. Back then, I believed something serious must have happened for him to leave me alone at the weakest and most painful moment of my life. I finally understood the truth. He had not left because of work. He had gone home with Olivia and their child so he could tell the world that she was his rightful wife. The realization cut through me like a blade. My chest tightened, and tears blurred my vision. I wandered back to Stormbay in a daze. I did not go home. I went straight to the immigration office. I wanted to transfer my identity registration back across the ocean and withdraw the savi

A STEP CLOSER "I take it the meeting didn't go well?" At least, Tristan's teasing—but concerned—voice was able to add a tinge of color in her grey day. Coupled with her stressful meeting, the taxi she'd boarded developed a fault in the middle of the road so she had to walk back home in the cold. Without a coat. Charlie sighs, "You can say that again." She drops her bag and heads straight to the refrigerator where she pulls out a can of soda and downs it in one go.

“Will there be a second date, though?” Emma shrugged. “We’ll see.” She looked at him. “So what do you have for me case-wise?” Camille rushed to the shelter, carrying Emily. There was a long line of people waiting outside. She swallowed, fearing she may not get a room. It wasn’t long until she was proven right as the doors were closed. She sighed and walked away with her daughter. Typically, they would find a semi-private place to sleep in, but she never felt safe those nights. She thought about it for a moment and realized she didn’t feel safe most nights. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the address she’d been given. All her upbringing had taught her not to trust strangers, but sh

“We can talk about the rest later.” “The rest?” I echoed. “There’s more,” he said lightly. “And you’re not ready for it.” My heart skipped. “What does that mean?” He shook his head. “Later.” I wanted to push. But I didn’t. Not now. "So what happens now?" I asked him. “We can either go down stares to face all those people in the reception hall … or we can sneak out and go back to my penthouse.” Hayes answered. Without hesitation I answered. “Penthouse.”

I can't do it! She saved the last bundle for last. Inside lay a neatly folded piece of paper—the deed to our old house. She said with a hint of guilt, "Your little brother is just five years old, and your parents already bought him a house in the city. I can't afford a big city home, but this old place will shelter you from the wind and rain. "If you ever feel wronged or hurt, you can come back here. And if you miss me, go to the grave at the east end of the village and talk to me—I'll hear you."

Three years after my release from prison, I ran into my ex-wife in the presidential suite of the most exclusive hotel in Bayshore. It had been years since I last saw her. She was draped in a silk robe, radiating wealth. When she recognized me, something unreadable passed through Cecily Monroe's eyes. "On the day you got out, why didn't you wait for me to come pick you up?" I said nothing and handed over the takeout. Her gaze dropped to the scar on my wrist, and her breath caught. "I went too far with that. But you've always been tougher than Adrian. You can always get back on your feet." She was talking about what happened six years ago, when Adrian Burke was involved in a catastrophic

You bear direct responsibility. He sighed and placed both hands on my shoulders. "I saw that you bought a plane ticket. "But I don't have time to go home with you. "Take this chance to go back for a few days, all right?" I shook off his hands. "Who said I wanted you to go with me? I'm going home because..." He sneered. "Because you're going home to be matched with someone and get married? "Stop threatening me with that. Hannah already told me your village doesn't have any rule that women must go home and marry at thirty."

"I want Daddy to come home! I don't care! I want you to bring Daddy home! If you don't, I won't love you anymore!" A chill spread through my entire body. I sat down on the bed, forcing myself to stay calm, and asked softly, "What else did Grandma and Aunt Amelia tell you?"

Daniels said urging Joseph to take a quick glance at the back, he saw Claire, Hayley and Alec laughing and he felt awkward immediately Claire looked at him, he quickly turned around, "Am sure Mr. Daniels. When are we arriving?." "Well, we'll arrive there in about four hours top." He glance at his watch and him and Callum's eyes caught. Leslie was just quiet and looking outside the window. "Hope the gas won't be a problem for us." Callum spoke out and Jack smiled, "No it won't, we'll still get to another gas station up ahead, besides we still have enough gas to take us." He replied him and Callum said nothing. He walked passed Callum, "We could turn back and get to the gas station we passed a
