Rena pulled herself out of bed and took the notebook.
Truth be told, she had found out a long time ago that Waylen was just pretending to have regained his memories, but she had humored him. After all, both Alexis and Marcus needed a father…

She wondered whether Waylen would hate her for this.
At the thought of her new dominating self, Rena lowered her head and smiled… ©
After looking up, Rena found Waylen leaning against the door.
His eyes were gentle as he stared at her.
