Chapter 139

The night when he kissed me, I felt like I had no reason to resist. My body naturally reacted to him, and I was once again reminded of just how attracted I was to Rowan. His kiss wasn’t forceful or demanding-it felt careful and almost reverent. The gentleness that he showed me surprised me to a certain extent. The way his hands framed my face before his thumb brushed against my lips made my heart flutter. I wanted to trust him with all my heart and just surrender everything that I was to him. That was how he made me feel all throughout the night as we made love. We spent hours tangled together in a passionate embrace as we whispered words of love to each other, his lips kissing my skin in my most delicate of places while he held me in his arms. It made me feel like nothing else mattered but the love that we had for each other. Every time that I whispered words of love to him between our hot and sweaty lovemaking, I realized that I meant it with all my heart. Rowan was honest when h

Chapter 140

I couldn’t help it that every time my mind formed the words, it also conjured up her face filled with joy and glowing with love whenever she spoke of George. Whenever I saw them together, my mother seemed a better version of herself. All my life, I had never seen her so happy to be with someone. She believed in him and trusted him. Most of all, she was truly in love with him.Once again, I asked myself how I could bring myself to destroy all that. And worst of all, what if, on top of breaking her heart, I was also going to put her in great danger? However, I knew that the choice wasn’t mine alone to make. No matter what I wanted, I knew full well that Francesca wasn’t going to stay silent. She would probably continue harassing me."Is something the matter? You’re uncharacteristically quiet," Rowan asked."It’s nothing. I guess just being in the sun made me tired. I’m going to go back to my room," I quickly excused myself before Rowan could say more.I could feel his eyes on me, but I

I instantly froze because I recognized that voice. Turning slowly, I saw Francesca standing there with a sweet smile on her lips. She had the perfect mask on, but I knew she didn’t come to see me with any good intentions."I hope that I’m not intruding. I just thought that maybe we could talk. It’s been a while," she said as she walked even closer to me."What do you want?" I asked."I wondered if you got my text message? I don’t recall getting your reply," she said as she wrapped a strand of her hair around her finger."I’ve been busy," I replied shortly."Of course. I’m sure that the trip you went on with Rowan kept you plenty occupied," she said before letting out a small laugh."What is it that you came here for?" I asked through gritted teeth. Francesca was definitely bad news, and the fact that she could walk in and out of the mansion without prior notice made it even worse. Because she was engaged to Rowan, everybody here already treated her as if she were part of the family-an

Chapter 142

"I know that you’ve been fucking around with your stepbrother. How scandalous. I wonder what your dear mother would say if she knew that you’ve been sleeping around with her husband’s son?" Francesca asked in mock wonder.I felt my entire face freeze just at the thought that she might tell my mother about my relationship with Rowan. Although I knew that I needed to tell my mother one day if I wanted to date Rowan for real, I was nowhere near ready to confront her about this. On top of that, my mother still didn’t know about the nature of Rowan’s family business. It felt like I had two very bad and shocking pieces of news to break to her. I had no idea what to say, and I didn’t even want to think about her reaction."I just told you that it’s not true," I repeated again, even though I knew she wouldn’t believe me. I finally found out the real reason why Francesca had invited me to meet up with her today. She was using my relationship with Rowan to blackmail me into quickly telling my m

Chapter 143

Her words stung, but I couldn’t risk anything by replying. All I could do was sit there as if I were a lifeless statue, letting her say everything she wanted to say. My body shook as my heart pounded so hard that I thought it would crack my ribs. Perhaps that wouldn’t be such a bad way to go, I thought to myself."My sweet, dear Annabelle, of course you’ll believe the pretty lies Rowan tells you. But don’t overestimate yourself. Not for one second should you think that you’re someone special to him when you’re just one of many. Look at me - I’m the one who will stand beside him and spend the rest of my life with him. Our fathers made an agreement, and nothing can change that. Your little fling won’t change anything," Francesca reminded me.Her eyes hardened even further, and all the false sweetness in her tone and smile vanished completely."So here’s what will happen. You end things with Rowan. You take your mother and leave. If you don’t, I’m going to tell your mother everything. I’

Chapter 144

That night, when I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling in the dark, my phone suddenly buzzed on the nightstand as its screen lit up. My heart jumped because I knew exactly who it was even before I reached my hand for my phone. The message was a harsh reminder from Francesca.’Tick tock, tick tock. Four days left, my dear Annabelle. Will you tell your mother, or shall I do it myself?’A shiver ran through me before an ugly cry escaped my lips. I flung my phone onto the bed and curled up under the blankets as my stomach twisted so badly I thought that I might become sick.Four days. It felt like my world was about to come to an end.I had made up my mind because I didn’t have any other choice but to tell my mother. I kept telling myself that sooner was better than later. Now that my time with Rowan was running out, I wanted to enjoy every moment with him. Every second became even dearer than before-and unbearably sweeter.I convinced myself that if I were to tell my mother, perhaps Fra

Chapter 145

The place gave me the chills and reminded me of an ice cave to the point where I wouldn’t be surprised if a bear jumped out at us. The room was already filled with life and laughter as people clinked champagne glasses together. I could understand why George was so firm about us getting new dresses and dressing up for the event. Everyone there looked polished and confident, and dressed to impress.Once again, it was another event where we appeared as the perfect family. The truth was far different, and it was up to me when to press the button to make everything crumble down into nothing."Rowan," a sweet voice called out his name.There she was, wearing a sparkling red dress that clung to her beautiful body. Her smile was inviting as she practically glided toward us. My breath caught in my throat when I spotted my arch-enemy. I had wished silently that Francesca wouldn’t be at the event, but clearly, my wish was denied."I think it’s been far too long. It’s such a shame that we couldn’

Chapter 146

"Annabelle, I don’t want you to carry this alone, because you don’t have to. Not anymore," he murmured softly.I began crying again, and Rowan quickly wrapped his arms around me to hold me close. He hugged me as my sobs wrecked my body, and I cried in his arms for a while without exchanging any words."I’m here for you no matter what. I just want you to know that," Rowan whispered tenderly into my ear.It took quite a long while, but I managed to get a hold of myself again. I knew that I couldn’t keep on crying in his arms forever because it wouldn’t solve anything."I’m sorry," I apologized for showing him my weak side."There’s nothing for you to apologize for. Talk to me, Gail. I can’t help you if you don’t. Surely something happened, right?" Rowan asked knowingly.I shook my head slightly before biting down hard on my lower lip. The words that I wanted to tell him felt so difficult to utter. However, I knew that I couldn’t hold it in any longer because it felt like my chest would

Chapter 147

"You don’t have to worry about anything. Don’t worry about the Mafia world. We live in our world together. You don’t have to carry any of the weight alone; we will carry it together. We will make your mother understand our love," Rowan said convincingly.I thought about the danger and the uncertainty that lay in the future, but then I thought about how empty my life would feel without him by my side. Even though I wanted to pull away from him, I knew that I couldn’t do it. I would always come running back to him even if I were to leave. I realized the truth with such intensity that I was deeply in love with him.There was no going back. To look in his eyes, eyes filled with love and devotion, was a moment that I would never forget for the rest of my life. Rowan slowly took out a ring before he took my hand and firmly slid it down to the base of my ring finger. Surprisingly, it felt like the most perfect fit. I could feel my hand trembling as he held it, and I could not hide my excitem

Chapter 148

My mother had no idea what was going on, and instead of being able to tell her the truth one after another, it seemed like I had built up another secret that I was keeping from her. All the lies and all the misunderstandings between my mother and I kept on piling up until it felt like there was this big mountain between us.My interactions with my mother seemed friendly and close enough, but inside I didn’t feel the same way as I did before anymore, and it felt like it was killing me inside slowly. We appeared close, but I felt that the distance between us was slowly growing. The fact that I kept so many secrets from her without being able to tell her the truth made me feel like I was betraying my mother’s trust. On top of that, I also knew that time was running out.Whenever I was alone, I found myself staring at the ring that Rowan had given me while I wondered about its real significance. Needless to say, I was over-the-moon happy that he proposed to me. I wanted more than anything
