Taste me, these salty tears on my cheeks That's what a year-long headache does to you I'm not okay, I feel so scattered Don't say I'm all that matters Leave me, déjà vu His associate frowned, not understanding what was happening.

Seth looked up at me, "Kennedy, I'm here cause I want you back." I shook my head, "that's not going to happen. I don't ever see that happening again."

The Foster Group's stock nosedived, plunging the century-old empire into its greatest crisis yet. Police scoured the city for Adrian, but he was nowhere to be found. Some whispered he had gone mad. Others claimed he was already dead. I tilted my head back toward the sky and whispered to my child, "You don’t have to be afraid anymore. Mommy has avenged you." However, as I was about to board my flight out of Westbridge, a hand clamped around my wrist. The touch was both familiar and foreign. Dread coiled in my stomach.

Steven's signature at the bottom. Through the window, she caught sight of the three of them—Steven, Ada, and Oliver—laughing as they piled into another car. Her eyes iced over.

He was getting under my skin and I didn’t want to have him know it. “We don’t know if I am pregnant yet and there is no way in hell that you are going to tell me what to do” I retorted. “I said that you are not going back to your old pack simply because it is not safe there. If you really feel like you don’t want to be here, then go somewhere else, just not there. I won’t be able to live if I find out that something might have happened to you and I am unable to protect you. After all, all those years ago when you were born and I was only seven years old, I made a promise that I will protect you with my life and I do not intend on breaking that promise any time soon” Rowan said.

“Luke... I opened my eyes, hearing Jackson's voice, and in a calm way he turned me around, putting me in front of him. Looking into the depths of his black eyes was like looking into the black tourmaline stone, which was so beautiful, it reminded me of the midnight sky. “You were the best thing that happened to me, I love you and I will always love you. I stood quietly, listening and imagining what he was getting at. “I want us to spend the rest of our lives together... “Jackson took a step back, and it was at that moment that I realized... “Will you agree to marry me? I was being proposed to. Once again I was being proposed to, but this time by a wonderful man who I sometimes wondered if wa

I parted my lips, but for a moment, I was at a loss for words. "Hold on, I'll call him right now," he said firmly. "I'll make him cough up 400,000 dollars, and I won't let him short you a single penny. If he refuses to pay up, I'll go camp out at his factory myself! I want to see him look me in the eye and tell me exactly who it is that's destroying our family's reputation!" With that, the call ended. …

“That I’ll chase this future and look back wondering what I lost in the process.” That confession softened something in me. “We don’t have a map,” I said. “And everyone keeps asking us to promise things we can’t guarantee.” He nodded. “Then maybe we don’t promise forever.” I looked at him sharply. “Maybe we promise honesty,” he continued. “And effort. And that if it stops working, we won’t lie about it just to avoid pain.” Tears burned behind my eyes not from sadness, but from relief. “I can do that,” I whispered.

I had no dreams of climbing ladders or becoming someone important—just a desire for a quiet, content life. I'd followed Ted to Eldonfield because he was building his career here. I had been convinced that if I stayed by his side long enough, he'd eventually see me. But love, it turned out, couldn't be forced through sheer persistence. On my way to the hotel, a curbside bookstore was blasting lyrics that struck a chord. "I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you. They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth.
