She felt like such a contradiction. Once the soup was done, she poured it into a bowl and walked over to the small kitchen table. Halfway there, she heard a ruckus outside and diverted her direction, heading to the window instead.

While she could hear their bickering, she couldn’t make out exactly what they said. All she could tell was that neither of them looked happy with the other one. From her brief encounters with both of them, she could see why they were at odds. Both seemed abnormally rude to people. Dean was just like Damien: cocky,

I grabbed my things and stormed out, ignoring his voice calling my name. By the time I reached the reception area, my pulse was racing. And there—like some twisted coincidence—stood Damon. I tried to walk past him, but he called out to me. Forcing a smile onto my face I turned. “Hi.” He looked at me, his expression unreadable, somewhere between anger and concern. “You’ve been crying,” he said, his tone low and serious. “I just quit my job,” I admitted, my voice breaking. “And I don’t know how I’m going to survive. I have no money. My father doesn’t even support me, instead he has his dear son bossing me around and ruining my life.”

"I let you down. I let pride get the better of me, and I got tempted. I thought you'd never leave. I thought even if I messed up, you'd forgive me. "But Jenna, six years isn't nothing. Just give me one last chance. I ended things with Vera. She's gone from Riverton. Let's forget all of it. We loved each other..." His eyes reddened as he spoke, his voice trembling with sobs. I suddenly remembered the fireworks he set off across the city when he proposed to me. Every woman in the city envied me, saying I'd found the perfect man. The crowd erupted in cheers as he dropped to one knee and swore his heart only belonged to me, that no one else would ever be his bride.

I was the simple-minded fool that General Adelaide Knight had pulled from a pile of corpses on the battlefield. The poison had been too severe. I survived, but my mind never fully recovered. When people hit me or cursed at me, all I ever did was stare blankly and smile. Adelaide took pity on me. She brought me into her home and refused to let anyone mistreat me. She once said, "Reed may be a fool, but he's my whole life." And like a fool, I believed her. For five years, I followed her everywhere like a shadow. Then Fabian Ortega returned to the capital.

Behind her back, I secretly take the property deed with me and board a ten-hour flight to her city. I want to propose to her in front of all our friends and surprise her.

"I'm going to be a godfather! My goddaughter is 8.5 pounds. I'm so happy!" I open the photo and see Claire and Damian Pierce posing together, a baby between them. My mind goes completely blan

“Who says I am going to cry? There’s literally nothing to cry about.” “Dani.” Alice sighed and fetched from her handbag a silk handkerchief, and dabbed around my eyes. “Don’t do this to yourself.” I couldn’t understand. How Cicio could waste everything he had worked for, every purgatory he went through to be a young Don, to earn his right to be part of his underworld family, all on a piece of trash of a whore. Back when we were a happy couple, everyone in both our families knew that it was important that he stayed by my side, because my family, the Genarros, were his only hope to be ultimately trusted by the Russos.

Jack awoke to the sound of the phone ringing. He cleared his throat, and answered “Hello?” There was static on the line and after a long pause, there was a response. He could faintly hear someone through the static, but the voice seemed far away. He repeated a hello, and the voice responded. “Hello? Jack?

- I got a call from my father when I was in the VIP lounge at the airport, "Come home, Silas. Horizon Capital happens to need a partner in tech. Everything you've studied and learned will be useful here." I gave a quiet hum of agreement into the phone. As the plane climbed into the night sky, I gave the glittering city outside the window one last look. Seven years… To think I had really ended everything… I flew back to Norcrown City overnight.
