"I told you back then remember? You said you weren't ever going to fall in love, I told you that you will and I'll be here to say I told you so when that happens." She said and I laughed.

“He’d finally found a woman of the same social status after all the trouble, and she had a miscarriage because of me. He must have hated me to the core. It’s already merciful of him to make me leave with nothing.” Christina could not help but mock herself.

I always take it for Lysa because I never want her to think that her choices aren't welcomed.

She kept questioning herself. Austin ran his hands down her hair and felt her wanting to lean back but he tightened his grip and heard her let out a subtle moan, he could tell she was hurt by it, but he didn't care. She just threatened him. His hands went down to her neck and ran his fingers across her neck, gripping her lightly and drawing her closer. He could feel the saliva go down her throat after she gulped down hard. He leaned forward again, Tasha couldn't understand what was happening, but he went past her face and brushed his cheeks against hers. Tasha felt her body go cold as his lips touched her ears.
