SIXTY-FOUR: THE VACATION “H e…” I licked my lower lip, which suddenly felt very dry. He nodded, patiently waiting for me to continue. “He isn’t what you think—“ His phone blared on the counter, halting me mid-sentence. Frowning, he picked up the phone and let out a sigh. “Sorry, Rosebud. Have to take this,” he…

He even bought this house for us. But he was still uncertain. He still had this fear that I’d leave him. Rising on my tiptoes, I cupped his cheeks, holding his gaze. “I promise. I’ll never leave you. Never ever. No matter what happens.” Exhaling a sigh, he pulled me into his passionate kiss. Not…

“Come, there’s more.” Curious, I followed him closely as he went around his desk and got out an album from a drawer. An album full of his and Caleb’s pictures, there were Tess and Tobias’s pictures as well. “These are from our high school and college,” he said, standing beside me as I flipped the…

My tears washed away with the restless water as I fought against him, but he only pulled me into his chest and wrapped his arms around me. “Calm down, baby. Everything will be fine. I’m here with you. Nothing will happen to you, I promise. Just calm down,” he said, rubbing my back. I couldn’t…

“Shut the fuck up!” I hissed as Warner pulled at my hair again. His eyes were dark, wild as he pulled me close to him, desperately trying to get my lips. “I won’t let you go with him tonight. You’re mine, Em!” Leaning away, I kept my face away from him throughout the fight as…

I cleared my throat. “Yeah, sorry. I was just a little worried for her.” His mood changed again as he smiled. Adoration filled his eyes as they roamed me again. “I know. My Em is always concerned for everyone.” Sliding closer, he grasped my hand. “Did I ever tell you this color suits you? It…

Turning away, he stormed out of the room, to his bedroom. My hands curled into balls. My blood boiled in my veins. I wouldn’t let him have his way tonight. Not after everything he did. Soon, my legs followed him to the bedroom. “No! I won’t leave you alone until you tell me everything! I…

Grumbling, he complained about how bossy she was and walked away. Tess turned back to me. A serious look etched onto her face. “What’s wrong, Em? Your eyes are not as chirpy as your voice sounds. Is everything all right?” My smile dropped. The dark circles under my eyes and dull appearance said it all….
