LOGINOn her reading table were a few books, I grabbed the stack of sticky notes, and scribbled some words for her, peeled it off and pasted it on her door.When she woke up, she would see it before leaving her room.After that, I leaned forward careful not to wake her then planted a kiss on her cheek bef
I let out a defeated sigh and adjusted my body against the pillow. “I’m leaving…” Liam was on his feet so fast all I saw was a blur. “What? What the fuck does that even mean?” He yelled and I swear that sound almost tore my head split open. I could my heartbeat in my head.I winced at the noise and
KYEHe looked just like me. My father. Not just that but I was the exact copy of him, just a lot younger than what Alexander and Raina have had the displeasure of meeting.I held my phone tightly as I stirred at his picture, as if waiting for the man in it to move and say something, answer my questi

Another text. Another boundary placed. One Dominic would learn to respect whether he liked it or not.I turned on the faucet, letting the water rush down the sink to drown out any sound, then pressed Raina's name on my screen. It rang once. Twice. Straight to voicemail."Damn it!" I muttered under m
RAINAIt had been a few days since the incident with Eliza, and Faith was a mess. Her usual radiance was dulled by the appearance of a lost and broken person. I did what I could; I tried to be there for her, holding her hand through the storm. But I could see in her eyes that she was losing herself.
