I said, “I don't mind if you force me, dad. Is living in this ordinary world doesn't rang your ears?” This time, dad cough jokingly and awkwardly laugh. “What cunning you becoming to be, daughter,” he said, feeling proud. “Am I?” I said, for instant feel sligthly better. “Of course, you are!” He surely said, wipe the bugs that stained with his blood, and groaned slightly after turn to the wounded hand. He smiled sweetly after doing all of this, and once again said, “Well, daughter. Protecting your heart is the first and forever your duty as my one and only child. Understood?”

"Just promise me you'll take care of yourself, okay? And. well, I know this is probably the last thing on your mind, but NJ, you know I can't stop myself from asking, have you thought of the possibility of, maybe ……. this working out? Maybe this will be something more, you never know. Noah's eyes grew wide, and she could almost hear Mia's mischievous grin right over the phone. "Mia!” she breathed, shocked with an undercurrent of amusement. "Absolutely not. My heart still belongs to Anthony, you know that, and that's not happening, we both have people in our lives that we obviously care about.

he said, oozing sly intent. “Just sign over Nathan’s property to me, and I will still take care of you and Eva. You know how much I love that little girl.” He added. Lucas was a monster, but one thing I knew was how much he adores Eva. That was the one trait of goodness he had left. I blinked back the tears that threatened to fall. “I can’t do that, Lucas. Nathan left everything to me and his child, and I’m sure he knew why he did so.”

After hesitating briefly, I answered it. "Jade?" The voice on the other end instantly filled me with disgust. Lucas Thorne. My heart sank. "It's me. What do you want?" My tone turned icy. "Jade, it's been so long. Have you been well? I... I've missed you so much," he said affectionately. I nearly threw up on the spot. In my previous life, he'd used this exact same tender voice to scam me out of everything I had. "If you have something to say, say it quickly. I'm busy."

But that is his excuse. Luke had also gone through a transformation. He actually has a personality now! (Don't tell him I said that!) After his wife and child had died in that accident, he cut everyone off, including his family. And now he's so happy. Hunter got burned. He found his wife cheating on him in his own home. And then his sister went through a messy divorce, and he practically gave up on love. And now look at him! The moment he found Chelsea, it's like the clouds lifted from his life.

That's what you need, my boy," Charlie stabbed a bony finger into Luke's chest. "You need to find the love of your life." Some night, last night. As soon as Luke entered the airport lounge, he ordered a Scotch. Hair of the dog and all that.

The only thing we differ in is he's waiting for his fated where I'm not even trying. "I've got shit to do." I stuff my hands in the pockets of my sweat pants. "We all have shit to do, buddy. Just chill." Luke shoots me a look, telling me to calm down. Luke's ok, but don't piss him off. Huge anger issues. He's not scary looking. Shorter than me by a few inches, brown hair, hazel eyes, but when he's mad, look out. He's put many in hospital just for looking at him wrong. When he's not a raging lunatic, he really is a nice guy.

She lowered her gaze, and he continued, "I am sorry... I know I shouldn't have done this, but you were crying nonstop for a long time, and I couldn't resist.” --------------------

I’m still trying to fix my expression into something neutral when Luke’s tall figure appears around the corner. He stops when he sees me, his face falling just a little. “I’m so sorry about that.
