she replied, lips twitching. Inside the design studio, behind closed doors, the tension returned. Andres leaned over her desk, pointing at a blueprint. “You missed a line here.” “I didn’t,” she said. “You’re just looking too hard.” He smirked. “Maybe I like looking.” She raised an eyebrow. “Snobby.” He leaned closer. “Snoopy.” She laughed, then caught herself. “We should stop.” “We should,” he agreed. “But I don’t want to.”

You could say I was a daddy's girl. "What happened twizzler?" Dad asked and I winced at the name he refused to stop calling me. Having an obsession with Twizzlers as a kid really doomed me to be named that to this day. Of all things! Twizzler! "Did Kade do or say something to you?" The protective dad voice was on. Kade did do something, flashed me his male parts that have permanently taken space in my brain. I should've knocked. Or yelled. Or stayed my ass down here.

"Turks cool. Can we go now for lunch?" "I'm not done talking," she met my gaze before continuing, "I'll be launching my Sunrise Fantasy collection by next week and I'll be needing your arm for my lipstick swatches, the best way to secure my territory." "I'll be wearing lipsticks now?" I smacked my eyes shut. How did I get here? "Stop being dramatic, okay? it's just a few swatches on your arms to show the different shades." Her phone rang before I could say anything else. Perfect escape. I headed towards the parking lot to find a car we would go in.

No corridor scanning. I stretched out and stared at the ceiling and thought about the week that had just passed. Honestly, it had been fine. More than fine. The kind of fine I had stopped expecting. No Tiffany appearing around corners with her group trailing behind her. No cousin either. Both of them had gone completely quiet and I had no idea where they were and I was choosing not to care. If they had dropped off the face of the earth entirely that would have been ideal.

I said gasping in awe. He chuckled a bit before ruffling my neatly set hair. I frowned at him and set my hair again properly in a high pony. I have a natural caramel balayage hair. It is a mix of caramel, honey and black hair. He pulled my hair-tie out and secured it around his wrist. I frowned at him but he just chuckled and tucked a lose strand of my hair behind my ear and placed a pin in my hair to keep it from falling back on to my face. I pouted and looked away but I smiled touching the pin in my hair. Someone cleared their throat and I looked up to see Rowan standing there with his hands crossed over his chest making his biceps bulge and his black Henley shirt is not doing any justice

"Jaxx, what is it? Why are you looking at me like that?" He reached up, his large, scarred thumb coming to trace the tiny, fading line of the bruise on my shoulder… the one I'd tried so hard to forget about, to pretend didn't exist. His touch was so light it felt like a whisper, like he was afraid I might shatter beneath his fingers. The tenderness in that single gesture made my throat constrict, emotion welling up so suddenly it caught me off guard.

"You're mine, Artemis. No one else touches you." “Yours?" My voice rose, disbelief and anger bubbling to the surface. "You barely act like I exist, Aiden. Why do you even care?” His jaw clenched, his composure slipping. "You don't understand what you're playing with," he warned, the danger in his tone unmistakable. Aiden's jaw snapped, his control slipping. "Everything about you is my business," he growled. "Then prove it," I challenged, my voice shaking.

The kids giggled every time one of the Horts cracked a joke or made a funny face, while Dominic sat quietly, one arm draped protectively around Winnie’s shoulders. The Horts led Elara and Finn through glowing forests, across rivers that sparkled, and into caves filled with shining gems. Each adventure brought new challenges that required the siblings to solve riddles or help others along the way. The visuals were whimsical, and the storyline, full of small lessons about kindness and hope, kept Lila captivated.

he said, holding up a vibrant drawing of what she assumed was a superhero. She crouched down beside him, smiling. “That’s amazing, Thomas. You’re getting so good at this.” He beamed, his pride infectious. Elena found herself genuinely smiling, the day’s tension momentarily forgotten. “You think so?” he asked eagerly. “Definitely,” she assured him, ruffling his hair. Alex appeared in the doorway, leaning against the frame with his arms crossed. His expression was softer now, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
