The events of the day had drained Tracy out, so all that she was in the mood for as soon as she got home was a very hot bath and then bed. She ran the bath to be as hot as she could stand it and then got in to soak until the water got lukewarm. Ryan would most likely not come back until morning, but she could not blame him. As a matter of fact, she was surprised that things had gone as well as they did this night. Everyone agreed that what had happened was a mistake, and indeed, it was. Getting out of the bathtub, she wrapped herself in a clean towel and headed into the room that she shared with Ryan to see that her phone was vibrating. Somehow, she had put the phone in silent mode without realizing it. Wondering who the hell could be calling her by this time of the day, she was almost tempted to ignore the call. It was past four in the morning, after all. However, she reasoned that it might be Ryan, so she hurried to the nightstand where she had placed the phone and picked it up, on

“Don’t worry. Keep eating your food. I’ll answer it. Maybe it’s Dan.” Ryan told Becca, getting up and going to answer the door. A dark-haired, handsome-looking man whom Ryan had never seen before was standing there when he opened it.“Uh … Hello? I’m looking for Becca.” The man said, sizing Ryan up and down, the look on his face clearly stating that he did not like what he saw.“Who should I say is looking for her?” Ryan asked, and the guy opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, Becca appeared, beaming as she walked up to Ryan’s side.“Trevor!” She exclaimed.“Ah, Becca. Thank God! I was so worried. I’m sorry, but I came as soon as I could. How is Emma doing?”“She’s getting better, considering the circumstances.”“Hmm, so this is Trevor.” Ryan thought to himself, observing quietly as Becca took Trevor’s arms and latched onto it as though it was the only solid thing that she could find as she was drowning in a very turbulent sea. Trevor looked pleased with the attention he was

The fury in Sam, Sandra’s ex-husband kept increasing by the day until he was sure that he would burst from its intensity. This fury was compounded by the fact that his father and his stupid wife firmly refused to give him any more money after the money they had given him when he first got out of jail. He had even begged them, begged them for what was rightfully his. After all, when his father kicked it, everything would be all his, or so he hoped. He had siblings, but those ones were well off and never asked their father for money. They also acted like Sam did not exist, so he had since cut off himself from all of them. They never loaned him money whenever he asked for some anyway, so what was the point in talking to them? His father and stepmother had refused to give him any more money, so to his disgust, he had actually had to work. The peanut that Archie paid him at the supermarket was barely enough to feed a chicken, but he did not complain. He had his plan in motion, and so he w

“So, here’s how that wonderful night, over a month ago went. It so happened that I was sitting at the bar, minding my own business and hoping some hot girl would come talk to me. I might not be rich, but the women do love me, you know. I’m quite handsome, after all. So, anyway, I was right. A hot, young woman soon sidled up to me, already more than a little tipsy. Guess who the woman was?” Josh asked, laughing out loud and looking at her as though expecting her to say something, but when she only kept staring coolly at him, he went on.“Anyway, you came up to me and began telling me all about your fiancée and how you thought that he was still in love with his ex-wife and that he had been ignoring you sexually and all that stuff that no man who is looking to get laid would want to hear from a hot woman. But then, you said something that got me. You asked me how I would like to make some cool cash. I’m always down to make money, so of course, I agreed, thinking it would be some physical

Preparations were underway and in high gear for the wedding between Ryan and Tracy. His daughters were beside themselves with excitement, as was the bride-to-be. Tracy was spending a fortune preparing for it, not that Ryan minded in the least. Whatever pleased her was fine by him. The wedding was in less than a week, and as Emma had been dreaming, she was going to be a flower girl in it. They had waited a month for her leg to heal, although she had started claiming that she was ready as early as two weeks after Ryan and Tracy decided to get married.Ryan did not know how to feel about his upcoming wedding to Tracy. On the one hand, he was glad that she was happy, and she loved him, so that was a good thing. However, thoughts of Becca, who didn’t seem to give a rat’s ass about him, refused to leave his mind, even though he rarely spent any time with her. After Emma had been discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home less than a week after the incident that landed her at the hos
