Please Don't Leave Me (Sequel to Please Don't Make Me)
Meredith never expected motherhood to be easy, but it wasn't supposed to be this hard. She was paranoid about all of the danger hidden in the world. Derek tries to help, but maybe the old scars from her past find new ways to haunt her. A/N PLEASE READ! I started writing PDMM over a year ago, and the topic of that story has since become less severe. However, I still believe it is a severe topic, hence the sequel. I have since fallen out of the Grey's fandom, but I still love all of you and the stories I created. I made this sequel, and it will probably be the last new story I publish. (I have a goal to finish my old ones) I want this story to be the best it can be for you guys, and I am still quite active on Wattpad, I just don't write as much, and it's not always for Grey's Anatomy. This being said, I hope you enjoy this story, and please bear with me, updates may be slow.

Highest Ranking on hotlist: #1 #Wattpad Exclusive Story #New paid exclusive chapters available Her confusion multiplied, looking at the unrefined fury in his eyes, the seriousness and finality in his features. "I seriously am clueless here, Alex. What is it that I've done?" she asked. "Tell me." "This." he threw some photos her way. Shaken by Alex's behavior, Kate snapped her face back as some of the photos slapped across her cheek. They crawled down in the air to slowly settle around her feet. He looked away from her like she had burned him. And Kate couldn't help but feel her insides tremor. Instincts screamed at her that a storm had indeed entered her life with the intent to harm the love that she and Alex shared. Bending down slowly, she reached out with trembling hands; she picked up one of the photos from the floor and froze. In the photo, Neil, her best friend, and she was making out. Kate remembered this moment, but it was nothing like this. Lifting her eyes from the photo where she had apparently locked lips with Neil, Kate looked back up into Alex's eyes and got scared out of her wits.

There, those emotions were now replaced with endless hatred only. ~Nothing lasts forever; people change, and so change their lives.~ Kate thought she had one forever with Alex, but that forever came to an end too soon.

He believed she was his unfaithful wife, only to see the truth when the destruction was complete. Prequel: In the Rain (ongoing) Sequel: And Then it Rained (ongoing)Complete

And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs.

Torryn had me bent over his knees with one hand resting on my bare ass. "Do you know why you're being punished?" he asked. I nodded my head. "You will speak to me when I ask you a question. That's five more spankings added. Now, do you know why you're being punished?" Torryn repeated. "Because I was flirting with that one guy." "Good, now you will count out loud while I spank you.

SOLD TO MR. MARIANO
"Don't touch me!" I screamed, crossing my hands in front of me as a shield. He chuckled darkly. Not bothering to listen to anything I just said and ignoring my actions, he brought his hands to my face. "And tell me, what are you gonna do?" he says as he roughly grabbed my chin. "I...I..." I paused, not knowing what to say. I can't do anything, can I? My silence caused another dark chuckle to leave his lips, However, Silence lingered in the air only for a second for it was soon broken by the shocking words that left his mouth.

If I want to bend that ass of yours over and spank it...I can" he paused, tightening his grip on my chin. "and if I want to f**k the sh*t out of you...I can." My eyes went wide at his words. "And you know why?" he asked as he finally lets go of my chin. And with my body now pressed hard to the wall behind me, he tightly wrapped his fingers around my neck. The tension in the air suddenly became hot. Shivers ran down my spine as he abruptly leaned in, bringing his mouth to my earlobe. "Because I f**king own you" . . .
