I type again. *What time?* *10 a.m* Before I can answer, another message appears. *Come alone* The smile slips from my face. “What?” Sandy asks. I silently hand her the phone. She reads, her brow furrowing. “Come alone.” “I don’t like that,” I mumble.

"Yeah, I think so." I bowed my head and nodded. She held my hand as I sat down, not an easy thing to do in an evening gown. I glanced at the fireplace. "So, can you start a fire?" "Yep." Sandy lowered herself down, legs akimbo, reaching over and grabbing a small black remote control. She pointed it at the hearth. "Incendio!" She pressed a button and flames leapt up behind the glass. I laughed. "You are such a dork."

“Did he tell you he doesn’t feel anything? Like, at all? He’s proud of it.” I sucked a noodle between my lips,cmy first bite of the night and nodded. “I know who Aiden is.

If only she knew Matthew was the one trying to make my life miserable—not the other way around. My phone buzzed in my bag. I reached for it and answered the call. “Hello, it’s Sandra.” she said in a whisper. “Oh—Sandra.” I sat up immediately. “What’s up?” Her voice came through tense. “I found out the reason Mom and Dad don’t approve of your marriage to Andrew Blake.”

The sun hung low over the Sardinian coast, casting golden light across the terracotta rooftops and olive groves. The air smelled of salt and rosemary, and the waves whispered secrets to the shore. It was the kind of evening that made even the most hardened hearts soften—except in the world of the Dons, where softness was weakness, and love was a liability.

Sophia groaned, rubbing her stomach in a tiny circular motion. "If Sof isn't going you know I'm not going to. Third-wheeling you two would be gross." Max quipped. "Hey! I've been third-wheeling you and Sof for as long as I can remember so this shouldn't be a problem," Alina chastised, calling him out on his double standard. "That's different. You don't even realize that Zion is staring at you half the time. It's like the poor guy has tunnel vision and all he can see is you," Max said with a tsk'ing sound.

Either way it was dangerous and had to be stopped. Dawn sighed “you’re right”, she conceded “they don’t” she moved her hand away “alright Danny I’ll help”. “Dawnie, we owe you big time”, Daniel said, relieved. “Yes you do”, Dawn said “now, where is this taking place?” “A small town in Indiana called Edenvale”, the younger Wesson brother answered. “I’ll head off right away”, Dawn told him “just hang in there Daniel” and with that she hung up.

Opening the door, Christiana stood in front of her. "I forgot my handbag and umbrella at your house." "So sorry for the inconvenience." Her voice was laced with remorse. Staring at her, Daisy Hunter said," What, No, it's really okay…I too forget my stuff in people's homes." Daisy Hunter said, smiling gleefully, exposing her perfect dentition.

He is seething, I can see from the way he clenches and unclenches his fist. “ We will pay her for the phone,” Santino replies, and he looks as cool as a cucumber. I walk past the men and approach the girl. “ I am so sorry, some rude men disturbed me while I was on the phone and I accidentally dropped your phone.” I plead with her.
