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.

Days later Derek Sitting at the table, I'm with my friends and kids from the club, but none of them are what I'm looking for. Every sip of wine I take, I imagine my lips kissing that boy's body, my hand touching his brown skin, the color of chocolate, as beautiful as it is delicious. I didn't need to penetrate her to know how much he would satisfy me. I wait an hour, I wait two... Anxious and frustrated I go to reception and ask the same guy who helped me the other day:

“I will be your hero I promise you that, Aira.” The promise he last made for me before everything shattered of what we knew then as our perfect life. The promise we made on the night of my tenth birthday, and all before that tragic accident, the misfortune departure, and my broken promise. “On my thirteenth birthday let’s meet here by then I’ll surely have the thing that you ever wanted, promise?” “Promise.” ‘BUT THEN.’ With the snap that echoes and suddenly once more. I am now in time and waking to the point where I am still begging, begging for you to not leave me and stay, just like you promise.

He shuddered at the recollection of the emails he had been receiving for the past week. "Have you considered the possibility of the photos being fabricated?" Elijah wondered why the woman was still so calm after being exposed. "It wouldn't matter either way." He stated. "You are a gold digger who only aims to leech off from my hard-earned money." He added, his tone coated with distaste. "I refuse to spend the rest of my life with the likes of you." "I can start working if you want. I will no longer use your money." Daisy finally let the desperation appear in her voice. Never in her life had she ever lowered her head despite the odds she had faced.

“Dante, I know we’ll do what Dario wants you to do. But if we go to my house, promise me that you won’t leave me there.” He slapped his fist against his chest. “You have my sworn promise.” Swallowing, I nodded. “I trust you.”

He stayed, his eyes begging me to listen. He poured out his regrets, telling me about all the people our foundation had helped over the years. He talked and talked, but I did not show any reaction. Finally, he collapsed before me and begged, "Helen, please... Just give me one more chance. You might hate me, but Ruby's innocent. She shouldn't miss out on having her dad in her life." I had tried to bury the past, but Alfred's plea brought it all back, the memory of a knife aimed straight at my heart that dreadful night.

My mind was focused on checking in on Tochi and Nora all night; I had gone into a robotic fix-it mode. “Thank you for your help tonight.” I hand Yalli a black velvet bag of coins, worth enough to take a small vacation if he wanted. While the mission was short, it posed more risks than I was willing to admit. “You know that’s not how we roll, J. When I need a favor, I’ll let you know, and I’ll expect you to be there,” he says, trying to hand me back the bag. “Take it anyway, there was a bigger chance of that not ending well than I led on,” I admit.

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.

He will heal your wounds with his love and care. The future ahead of you is dangerous, my child, but always remember that with your “Promise Mate” beside you, both of you shall conquer your enemies.
