An excellent one to be precise and that was what had kept him employed. In the seat beside him was a woman. She had long, blonde hair that when allowed to move with gravity, neared her waist. She was dressed in a silvery gown and looked like a queen. What she lacked though, was a crown on her head and three dozen guards watching her every step. She was Sarah, Harold's stepmother. In the seats behind the driver and Sarah was Harold and someone who was bound to make his next two years in Golden Lake University more miserable; Maximus (or Max for short).

"We partied too hard last night and forgot to use protection—don't forget to buy morning-after pills for your wife." Looking at the woman's smooth bare back and the red mole on her neck in the photo, I felt absolutely nothing. Again. Five years of marriage, and this wasn't the first time. Kathy liked to test me this way. She called it her "little experiment." The first time, she "accidentally" left a receipt for condoms on the nightstand. I got angry and confronted her, but she just smiled with contempt. "Why are you so petty? My girlfriends and I bought that on purpose just to see how you'd react." The second time was on our wedding anniversary. A guy showed up at our door with a bouq

My breath caught. “For our five years,” he said, opening it to reveal a ring that caught the light beautifully. “I wanted to do this properly.” My chest tightened as he slid it onto my finger. “Thank you,” I whispered, even though something inside me didn’t feel right.

Roderick straightened slightly in his chair, already affronted by the fact that I had not greeted him with the sort of deference men like him started expecting after too many years of people humouring their age. Michael looked briefly at Josiah. Josiah said nothing. So Roderick answered first. “We could not wait because the Prima society informed us that Vandwood is harbouring an Outlan

Amberleigh felt like she was intruding on what should have been a private moment between Leo and Elle. It had been five months since Leo had last seen the woman he’d once planned on spending his life with. Circumstances had pulled them apart, but had fate now brought them back together again? Was this the universe’s way of telling them all they had it all wrong? That Leo and Elle were destined to be together, and Amber was destined to be alone.

The moment she saw the scene, she hurried over, trying to smooth things over. “I’m so sorry, Trish. Don’t blame your sister. This is all my fault. I’m getting old. My memory’s not what it used to be. I forgot to tell you that I had given your room to Dawn. So… why don’t you just return the necklace to her? I’ll buy you a new one, okay?” My temples throbbed.
