“It could be something really important, urgent.” Chloe squeezed my arm.

I wasn’t angry about it…honestly I wasn't. Yes it's…what's the word? Sad? Disappointing? It was sad, but I never made a big deal out of it so for me it wasn't.

But I was looking forward to it since I had nothing else to do today, and Chloe noticed. So when she announced that we were getting ice cream whether I liked it or not, I didn't argue. Maybe sugar would help, fresh air, at least I get to move around, and that was th

  • In Love With His Coldhearted Mafia Brother   69

    I woke up the next morning and lay there staring at the ceiling for a long time before I finally reached for my phone. I just wanted to spend the rest of the month in my bed. Anything other than that is trash.But I have work to go to, and Lily's Disneyland time is due. One more day and she's going to lose interest and start asking for a trip to Paris.She doesn't even know where or what Paris is.I sat up and rubbed off the sleep crust from my eyes before typing in a text.If you're both free today after work, we're taking Lily to Disneyland.I stared at the words for a second, then added another line.It's fine if you're not.I set the phone down and dragged myself out of bed. I quickly freshened up and changed into suitable work clothes with a coat and longer socks for the cold.You can never go wrong with the 2000s work fit. The morning air was cold, and the sky grey and heavy, like any second now it could rain. The thoughts of just staying home until it starts to rain then send

    I finally peeled myself off the door and dragged myself to the bathroom. The shower was quick, just enough to wash off the day, and I stood under the spray longer than I needed to, letting the hot water beat against my shoulders until my skin turned pink. When I got out, I wrapped myself in a towel and stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. Dark circles under my eyes looking as big as my fist, my hair damp, and a… small bruise on my collarbone that I don't remember getting. Is that hickey? I have no idea.I quickly dried off, and pulled on a pair of sweats and an old t-shirt, and made my way, barefoot, to the kitchen.I shoved the leftover spaghetti into the microwave and pressed the button. I waited around until it beeped and quickly pulled it out and carried it to the table. I sat down with my phone in one hand and a fork in the other while checking the garden cosmetic product launch event for inspiration on my phone.The door opened."You're back so fast—" I start

    I stepped into the quiet hallway of the hospital. The nurses at the station nodded at me as I walked past, and I nodded back, hurrying toward Lily's room on autopilot.I stopped at the doorway and looked in about to yell out surprise but paused when I saw that she was asleep, her small body curled under the white blanket, her stuffed rabbit tucked under her arm. The IV line ran from the bag to her hand, and the heart monitor beeped softly in the corner. I stood there for a moment, watching her chest rise and fall.She looked peaceful.I gently shut the door and rushed to go find the doctor, but when I got to his office I saw someone else sitting in front of him.“Good afternoon, doctor.” The doctor looked up and smiled at me. “How are you doing Ms Bishop. I didn't think you'd stop by today.”Dr. Wright took the cup of coffee served to him and took a sip before raising his head. "Eva? I was hoping I'd catch you after here."I took off my bag, sat down and gently placed it back on my

    I walked back to my office, and threw the bag on the desk like it was contaminated.It was actually, with Blair's stupidity.The silver paper caught the light from the window, mocking me, I scoffed at it and dropped to my sit to attend to my persistent pinging phone.I could already tell who it was before swiping it open.JACE: So you're working for my brother now? That's low, even for you.JACE: You really have no shame, do you? JACE: I bet he doesn't know about us, or Lily.The cock sure wasted no time to crow. It's not even noon yet. She probably texted him the second I walked out of the office, her fingers flying across her phone screen while she sat there with her perfectly crossed legs and her perfectly wrapped gifts.And the idiot just showed how much of an idiot he was.About us? Was there ever an us?Do I look like I care in anyway an us? I'd do anything to make myself forget that I ever dated and almost married him. Anything. Who knew what shit I would've been in.I angril

    Blair's eyes widened the moment she recognized me, her perfectly sculpted eyebrows rising just enough to show she was caught off guard. She set down the gift box she'd been holding and slowly stood up, her cream dress falling in soft folds around her legs."What are you doing here?" she asked.I cleared my throat and held the file tighter to my chest. "I work here."She blinked as she processed the information. Her gaze swept over my outfit, the file in my hands, and looked behind me at the office I just walked out of. Now that she's seen me there was no way she wouldn't tell Jace. She lived for this, for having something to hold over someone's head, and I had just handed her a weapon wrapped in a neat little bow in her favorite color.I turned and walked to Dante's desk and set the file down on the corner of his desk, straightened the stack of papers, and turned to leave. He wasn't in yet, which was fine to me, I didn't need him to be. I just needed his signature, and that could wai

    EVA'S POV I stepped out of the house and into the cold morning air, the rain left the ground wet and the sky still grey. I could sleep all day and not feel guilty about it if I did have work to do. Dante was by his car, the door open. I stopped where I was and shook my head."I'll take a cab." I pulled the new coat he got for me along with the skirt and shirt tighter and looked toward the gate. "Everyone is already saying I slept my way into this job. I don't need them seeing us arrive at the same time in the same car. That'll just fuel for the fire.""This is a residential area. No cab passes here." He gestured towards another car"Nico will drop you off."Before I could respond, a bald man walked up to us and knocked on the car door. Reluctantly a man I recognized to be Nico climbed out from the driver's seat, frowning. The bald man climbed in without a word. Nico stood there with his hands in his pockets, the both of us watching as Dante settled into the back seat.He looked at m

    I tried to move but something pulled at my arm back. It was an IV line dangling above me.I forced my eyes open and stared at a ceiling I didn't recognize. White tiles with a dozen of Fluorescent lights, and curtain to my left, half-drawn.I squeezed my eyes shut, as I remember how I got here.Some

    Normal. I'd forgotten what that felt like.I dumped the dirty dishes in the sink and stared at the empty fridge trying to calculate how many more meals I could stretch from my last grocery run, when a knock came at the door.I peered through the peephole and saw Mrs. Olivia from 2B, a sweet older w

    Chloe appeared at my side before I could say another word to him, her hand finding my elbow with a grip that said she'd let me have my moment but now it was over."We've got a problem," she murmured close to my ear, her voice low enough that only I could hear. “Car won't start. Something with the b

    I was seething. Hate and anger enveloped me, I felt my temperature rise.He got what he deserved. That reputation he's been trying so hard to manage, that reputation he was willing to sacrifice his daughter for, he deserved all of it going down the sewer."Eva! Eva, stop right now!"I kept walking,
