THEODORE The morning came with way too much clarity for my f*****g good and I no longer knew how to move forward with this situation with Alice. I went overboard and my possessiveness surprised even me. I hadn't meant to sound that way at all, but the minute I buried myself inside of her, I knew deep down that I was done for. My chance to stay away from her had passed. The strange fascination I had with her from the day I took over after my father's death should have been a clear enough sign that I needed to keep my distance. Her words triggered a response I never expected. The thought of her returning to her 'ordinary life' didn't sit well with me at all. It also made me realize that I didn't know anything about her. I knew she had a fiancé who caught us kissing during the New Year
