But neither expected what would happen next. ------------- Kendrick and Zephany sat by the glass wall, waiting for their food when a car suddenly crashed through. Kendrick pulled Zephany to safety just in time, but both got small cuts from the broken glass. "Are you okay?" they asked, checking each other.

He can't be that silent, obnoxious man!" "Did I marry my secret partner in crime?" They both shuddered at the thought.

“Don’t look at me like I could ever be yours.” Isabelle didn’t back down, and started directly into his eyes. “You couldn’t be. Even if I wanted you.” Carefully, Reign’s fingers grazed her jaw. “Good. Because I won’t love you.” Isabelle’s voice turned hushed, and a small smirk formed at the corner of her lips. “Then don’t touch me like you already do.” His grip tightened just enough to make her heart freeze. “Tell me to stop.” After her family’s powerful corporation collapsed, Isabelle Munro was left with nothing and no one. She hadn’t spoken to her sister Charlotte in years. Then the announcement was made, stating that Charlotte Munro was dead.
