At first, she felt excited. Her lunch with Victoria had been extremely helpful and allowed her to see her own situation from a different and empowering perspective. Jennifer was now armed with determination and the will power to start working on her cooking school, no matter how challenging it wa...
She was waiting in the corridor of the hospital, walking in circles, arms crossed and wondering what she was doing there. Things had started so innocently, without any problem. She was just supposed to have a drink with Enzo to thank him for what he’d done for Bruce. And then, she was supposed to...
All she could recommend was other fancy hotels in other areas of the city. After twenty minutes, Jennifer started to understand what was going on: the clerk was probably afraid of insulting her by suggesting anything below a certain standard. “I’m not looking for luxury hotels. I want a simple ho...
"Right, Sir. There is a young woman who says she's here to see you. What would you have me...?” I cut her off, realizing suddenly that Lila was coming to spend the day with me. I hadn't necessarily forgotten, but with so many other things vying for my time, I'd temporarily...
There were mirrors everywhere, mahogany panels and furniture, marble and a large window just in front of the bed. When she looked outside, she saw the infiniteness of the sea and thanked God to live such a beautiful life with the man she loved. She and Bruce had come back to the yacht early in th...
Asher was in Dubai with Sofia, the woman we've pegged as his best match, and my relationship with him was over. Whatever had begun between us in the club more than a week ago had ended without so much as a bang. "Literally," I grumbled as I tugged my bag over my shoulder a...
Had I known he was in such a hurry, I would have eaten something and brought a change of clothes. Hanging out all night in my dressy attire wasn't going to be much fun. "Yeah. Is it okay or do you need to start on Sunday?" The look on his face said that he expected me to s...
She felt drunk and dizzy, even though it wasn’t from the champagne. She was naturally high and extremely relaxed, unaware of her environment. Nothing mattered. Was it a dream? She felt the warmth of someone’s breath on the side of her neck. Bruce, she thought. She was sensitive and could feel her...
Bruce turned off the light and lit a few candles. As they were cuddling, relaxing, and listening to the soft music in the background, Jennifer was enjoying the breathtaking view of the city at night, feeling protected in Bruce’s strong arms. She started to fall asleep when she felt Bruce kissing ...
This is what he calls a major acquisition? Who the hell is he kidding? And he really has to call me the night before I'm supposed to leave for my trip?” Jennifer was so furious she was thinking out loud. She couldn't believe it. Why was everything so wrong? Why couldn't she enjoy her life just a ...
“Honey, I received a call on my way and I forgot to tell you,” he said. “A call from whom?” “Fancelli, the trader of Doyle Brothers.” “What does he want?” “He said he was sorry he couldn’t stay longer when we met and wants to invite me to apologize.” “You’re having dinner with him?” “Well, I thin...
5 - Lila I walked into the club on shaky legs, the handsome billionaire still in his car and hopefully headed out of my life. A long sigh left me as I slipped past Clay and turned to press my back against the wall. "You okay, L?" Clay poked his head into the club and lifte...
Nothing worked. She had spent hours and hours over the last few days cooking, trying new recipes as well as familiar ones. She had definitely lost it. Her grandmother had told her that it wasn’t that bad but Jen didn’t know if she could believe her: she was too nice to tell her the truth. Jen was...
