She came in and he locked the door behind them, "Why are you here?" "Can I borrow The Truth for a few minutes? There is something I must check about in the book."

Arian's pov I never thought a book club meeting could feel like a battlefield. Today, we are reading The Art of Forbidden by Linda Lively, and from the very moment I flipped through its pages, my face had been hot. The story is about a powerful president who was secretly in love with his male secretary, and if that wasn’t bold enough, the prose was filled with intimacy, longing, and heat. Naturally, everyone thought it would be for people to take turns reading aloud. But I wasn't really in the mood to read, not after what the police said to me.

He took a slow breath and let it out. "She was good," he said. "I mean actually good. Not the performance of it but she was." He paused. "I met her when I was twenty-five and she worked in a bookstore on the west side. It was a small place and she reorganized the whole crime fiction section so that all the mob books were spine out." He stopped and almost smiled. "Said she was tired of glorifying men who hurt people." Bella laughed softly. "I like her already."

Claire brings a huge cake, decorated with dinosaurs and books. "Aunt Claire!" the boys run to hug her. Alex hugs me from behind as we watch the scene. "Happy?" he asks. "At peace," I answer. My new book rests on the table: "Hidden Truths - How Silence Almost Won". In the dedication, a simple message: "For Oliver and Noah, Who taught me that the best stories are those we have the courage to tell. And for Claire and Sarah Bennett, Who showed us the price and value of truth." "SOPHIA HAWTHORNE LEADS BESTSELLERS LIST: 'Hidden Truths' Revolutionizes the Publishing Market"

Unable to help myself, I speak up. “What is your favorite book, Gloria?” She looks over at us, surprised by my question. “I’m Ashley.” I smile as I hold my hand out and gently shake her little hand. She smiles. “Hello, Ashley.” She reaches up and cups my face in her hand. “God blessed you, my love.” I frown. “I’m sorry?” “You are so beautiful.” I smile bashfully, embarrassed by her attention. “Pride and Prejudice.” She smiles a soft, far away smile. ‘If only I could read it one more time.”

Do you want to go get something to eat? "No, I don't want to bother you." "No, it's bothering you. You paid for the ice cream, now it's my turn, let's go." Axel got up from the bench. "Okay, fine." She got up too. Alicia walked beside him as he finished the ice cream. They arrived at a restaurant, and when they entered, it was a beautiful place. Its windows had stained-glass windows with beautiful flowers, which let in a lot of light. "Woah! It's beautiful, isn't it?"

That healing is messy but beautiful. And that love—real love—is worth everything. From my heart to yours, Thank you for reading. With all my love, O.J

His harsh, silent voice was still in her head after he left. “You needed to say oposite thing, but you still have feelings for her”, Arnes heard Beka’s voice behind him. Her eyes were dark, and about 20 girls from the shelter, which Amy used to run, were next to her, all of them looked the same as she did, enchanted. “What are you doing, you suppose to stay out of the cells”, he said harshly. “You belong to me, and all of them will soon!“, Beka hissed and raised her hand toward him, which threw Arnes on the floor.

Her hearty lunch boosted her mood for the whole day and wasn’t aware of the time until Mariam and Abdullah arrived. “Habibti, why are you still here. It is already 6 o’clock. “Mariam asked. “Madam, sorry, I didn’t notice the time but I was actually waiting for you as well. I am not sure if you have received my email this morning, regarding my mother.” Eliza replied honestly. “Oh yes, of course. I did, but why add her to the beneficiaries, we can just loan you what you need. How much do you need habibti?”Mariam gently asked.
