hope you enjoy these long chapters! Leave a gem or comment if you are!!
Hey everyone! I know I haven't updated this book in a few months, so I wanted to take a moment to address this. I've decided that the best thing for me to do right now is pause on this book. At first I was hoping to finish it by the end of the year, but the truth is that I've had some serious writers block when it comes to this story. I know where I want to take it, and how it will end, but I've been lacking in inspiration when it comes to these characters. So, right now, my focus is on finishing The Timekeeper Dynasty book I'm currently working on. I've also recently began another project I'm passionate about, though I haven't gotten to a point to where I'm ready to upload it to the platform yet. I hope you all can understand, and are willing to bear with me until I am ready to finish this adventure of Roz, Nick & Remi. Until that time comes, please feel free to check out The Timekeeper Dynasty Series here on Goodnovel!
Alyvia POV “So this is it then? There’s nothing I can do? We can’t fix this?” He asked me, his voice breaking with emotion. “No. I won’t stay with a cheater.” I said solemnly, though I couldn’t bear to lift my head to look at him. “And this is what you want? My money? Ofcourse it is. It always comes back to my money. Well Lyvie, you can have it, because whether you choose to believe it or not, I love you. I love you more than anything in this world. This money means nothing to me if I don’t have you, so take it.” He spoke as he signed the divorce settlement. I didn’t miss the way he sniffled as he spoke, or how he wiped the tears away before he signed. I knew I was breaking his heart. Hell, I was breaking my own heart, but I knew this had to be done. I’d made a promise, and I had to keep it. Sure, he and I would both walk away from this heart broken, but we were both strong, we would heal from it. Jazmine, however, I feared what might happen
Alyvia POV I remember sitting in my Avondale office waiting for Jazmine to show up a year later. She was running late that day after her therapy session. She had decided to take my advice & found a therapist to help her work through the pile of issues that Nick had left her with. The wedding was in two days, & I still needed to pick up my dress from the boutique & finalize the menu. When Nick proposed, he had said he wanted to get married on our one year anniversary, so I had managed to plan a wedding in three months. I had run into him at his favorite coffee shop on October 1st, a Saturday, & he said that he noticed me as soon as I walked in. He was sitting there eating a raspberry bear claw, while drinking his morning coffee & scrolling through social media. He said that I stole his breath away, and that he had never seen anyone so effortlessly beautiful. I had ordered a tall salted caramel mocha latte with extra caramel & mocha drizzle & an apple cinnamon scone. I sat t
Alyvia POV Then, there I was, standing in front of the mirror in my hotel suite, admiring my wedding gown. It was perfect for a fall wedding. It had been a sheer fabric with a thick floral vine pattern on it. It came clear up my neck & was long sleeved with the back cut out. It was form fitting & turned into a silk form fitting skirt with a high slit that ran up my left leg to my hip with a 2 foot train that flowed behind me as I walked. The front was sheer as well, with the thick floral pattern running perfectly over my nipples so you couldn't see them through the sheer fabric. It was flawless & I had looked beautiful in it. My hair was in twisted up into an elegant updo that allowed for my flowing curls to come out of the top & cascade down. My veil was attached to the tiara that I wore, which had been my second wedding weekend present from Nick, & it had been pulled over my face just before I entered the hall. I had worn a blue garter, & just before I had put on my dres
(5 Years Later) Nick POV I woke up this morning angry, I wake up every morning angry though so it’s nothing new. I haven’t actually been happy since she left me. I pretended most days to keep everyone from worrying about me, but inside I was dead. She took every bit of life from me when she left. I had thought I could talk her into working things out when we met to sign the divorce papers, but she wouldn’t even look at me. I had felt so defeated that I couldn’t stop the tears when they came. She was all I had ever wanted, but someone had sent her pictures of that one night, the only time I had failed to make it home. We had gotten into a fight before I left for work that morning, and it continued well into the day. She wanted to sell the townhouse and move out of the city, but I didn’t want to. She wanted me to quit my job too, saying that I had more than enough money, that I didn’t have to work. But I loved my job, so I refused. We had fought about it all day,
Nick POV I had booked myself a flight, and a room at a local bed and breakfast in her hometown before going home to my empty condo and packing. My flight would leave late this afternoon and I would make it to Richmond by dusk. The town she lived in was an hour and a half drive from the city, so I would make it there late in the evening. I was a little nervous to see her again after all these years, but the excitement overrode and nervousness I had. Joey had come home with me and talked about everything he had learned about my ex-wife from her brother. He talked about the stories her brother had told him about her as a child when they were in college, and about the things he had told Maddie about her life now. He told me about how she had been fearless as a child, which had gained her the title of the family wild child. He also talked about how she had apparently bought a bunch of land with the money I gave her in the divorce. Now she owned a farm on the outside o
Rozelynn/Lyvie POV I was on an important call with one of my liquor distributors when Remi called repeatedly, forcing me to cut the call short. I almost had them talked down to the price I wanted to be at too, but at least I’d managed to get them to a 4% mark down. That was better than what I was originally paying. I called Remi back to see what he wanted. I didn’t even know that he had left the building, but the fact that he had kept calling instead of coming into my office said he had. “You called several times?” I asked him when he answered on the second ring. “Yea, there’s an issue with Selah down here at the Inn. Apparently she had decided to claim some random guest as her daddy, and the guy is just weird. Renee called the bar, so I came to get her, but she freaked out, starting screaming that it wasn’t time for her to leave yet because you said so, like she does, and latched onto the guy, like she does. It’s just weird and it’s not ok, but he’s hold
Rozelynn POV I wasn’t sure what to say, or what to do as my ex-husband stood there watching me. I wanted to tell him everything about me, to sit and laugh with him the way we used to do, but Remi watching me intensely made me forget about ever being with him the way I used to. I played with our daughter’s ponytail, unsure of how to proceed with the man that I had once shared everything with. Surely this was just as strange for him, right? If it was, he played it off as if it wasn’t, using his charm and gorgeous smile to break down my defenses and get me to loosen up as he made small talk with me. “So, tell me about your restaurant. I hear you do a karaoke dinner show in the evenings. You always did enjoy karaoke.” He spoke as he sat on the couch next to the recliner I was sitting in with Selah. “Yea, we do. I uh, Well I run it with my brother Robbie, Remi & my little sister Ryliegh. I’m not sure if Josh knows or would have told you, but I’m obviously not
