Chapter 83 - Epilogue Three (Final)•AUTHOR•The soft murmur of voices filled the house, a cacophony of excitement that had grown louder over the past few days. It was a week since Eleanor had been born, and Brianna and Adrian had finally brought her home. Life had changed again, in ways both expected and unexpected. The twins—Evelyn and Evan—were eager to meet their new sister, bouncing around in the living room with restless energy. Brianna couldn’t help but laugh at their enthusiasm as she stood in the doorway, cradling the baby in her arms.“Okay, you two, take a deep breath,” Brianna called, trying to keep the situation calm. “Remember, she’s tiny. Gentle hands only.”Evelyn, always the more composed twin, stepped forward first, her eyes wide as she took in the sight of her baby sister. “She’s even smaller than I thought,” she whispered, reaching a hand out slowly, as though unsure of how to approach the fragile little bundle.“She is,” Brianna confirmed, her smile tender as she

Chapter 82 - Epilogue Two•BRIANNA•I stirred awake, letting out a yawn as I peeled my eyes open. My eyes first drifted to the open window, and I saw that it was still dawn. The sky at dawn was a gentle wash of colors, soft pinks and warm oranges blending seamlessly into pale blues, with the faintest traces of lavender lingering at the horizon. The world outside the window was bathed in a delicate golden glow as the first light of morning filtered through, casting everything in a serene, dreamlike hue.A cool breeze drifted in through the open window, brushing against my skin and carrying with it the faint, earthy scent of dew.I turned my head, expecting to see Adrian sleeping beside me, but his side of the bed was empty, and it seemed like he had been gone for a while.I shifted awkwardly, trying to sit up, one hand instinctively cradling my rounded belly. A small grunt escaped me as I swung my legs over the edge of the bed, each movement slow and deliberate. The mattress dipped und

Chapter 81 - Epilogue One•AUTHOR•Today was a special day for the CARTER family. It was the third birthday of Adrian and Brianna’s twins, Evelyn and Evan. They had been eagerly anticipating this day for quite some time because it meant they could finally reunite with their loved ones. It had been a while since they had all gathered together—busy schedules and various commitments to work, school, and family had kept them all apart for too long.“Walk quietly!” Brianna whispered urgently to Adrian as they tiptoed toward the twins’ bedroom.“I’m trying!” Adrian quipped, rolling his eyes as he followed closely behind her.A few moments later, they reached the door of the twins’ room, and Brianna slowly pushed it open. They entered the room as quietly as they could, careful not to wake the children. Adrian stood still in the middle of the room, holding a small birthday cake in his hands. The cake was decorated with the twins’ favorite colors—white and purple. Atop the cake was a small bir

Chapter Eighty•CHERRY•It had been six months since I started working for Manuel, and I had enjoyed every single moment of it. I was fortunate to have a friendly, understanding boss, a comfortable working space, and a few colleagues who were more like friends. There was a sense of camaraderie that made the workdays feel lighter, and for the first time in a long while, I actually felt like I belonged somewhere.But, like with any job, there were a few challenges. One of them was the snide comments from some of the other female coworkers. The way they shot me dirty looks or whispered behind my back whenever I walked past—like they were certain I couldn’t hear them. Well, I could hear everything, but I chose to ignore them. If they didn’t stop soon, though, I was prepared to throw all decorum aside and confront them. There was only so much I could tolerate.My thoughts were interrupted by the sudden ring of the office phone, slicing through the quiet hum of my workspace. I picked up the

Chapter Seventy-nine•MARIANA•I stirred awake as I felt the warm rays of sunlight on my face. Reluctantly, I peeled my eyes open and tried to get out of bed. I rolled to the edge of my queen-sized bed, sat up, swung my legs to the side, and slid my feet into my pink flip-flops.I made my way to the bathroom and got ready for the day. Once I was done, I came out, dressed in my school uniform, and put on a pair of black shoes. After that, I made my way down the stairs, grabbing my backpack as I went.“Good morning, Mum,” I called out as I spotted her at the dining table, eating breakfast.“Good morning, sweetie. Did you sleep well?” she asked, her voice warm as I sat down in one of the chairs.“Yes, Mum, I slept well. What about you?”“I slept like a baby,” she replied, and I smiled.“What’s for breakfast?” I asked, glancing at her plate.“Toast, scrambled eggs, and bacon. Should I ask Susan to make you a plate?”“Yes, please,” I responded eagerly.“Susan, darling! Please make a plate

Chapter Seventy-eight•ADRIAN•Two months ago, when I discovered that Brianna was pregnant, I immediately insisted that she move in with me. I wanted to ensure both she and our baby were well taken care of. She was reluctant at first, offering excuses about needing to stay with her mom and sister, but they reassured her that it was perfectly fine for her to be with me.She even tried to distract me from my decision by claiming she had to work. I reminded her that I was her boss and that she wouldn’t need to work a single day if she lived with me. After much back and forth, she finally gave in. That was the happiest day of my life—the day she agreed to live with me.Now, here we were, lying on my bed. Brianna’s head rested gently on my lap while I attempted to braid her hair. I wasn’t exactly skilled at braiding, but I was determined to keep trying.“Babe?” she broke the silence, her voice soft and casual.“Yes? What’s on your mind?” I responded, glancing down at her.“I’m starving,” s

Chapter Seventeen•KIANA•The store attendant removed the money for the gadgets from Mr. Aiden's credit card and packed what we bought properly. I tried to collect the package from the attendant but Mr. Aiden stopped me."Leave it." He ordered and I stayed rooted to the spot."Get that package." He said to one of the guards that accompanied us and the guard did as he said."Our job here is done." He uttered and walked out of the store and I immediately followed behind him, trying my best to not get him angry with my walking steps because he got angry at the slightest things.We got into the car and the guards went into the car that they followed us with.Mr. Aiden started the car and drove out of the store premises and began driving down a road that was different from the route we took when we were coming. Maybe he's just taking a different route to the Villa?During the long drive, I must have fallen asleep at some point because when I was woken up and I opened my eyes, I saw that we

Chapter Sixteen|Next Morning|•KIANA•I went to bed last night thinking about the words Mr. Aiden said to me before I went to my room to sleep. I didn't even disrespect anyone and he was saying that, I was just showing Sophia that she shouldn't treat people like trash. Oh well. I snapped out of my train of thoughts when I heard a knock on the door. I immediately stood up and went to unlock it and I saw Julie standing at the doorway with her usual smile on her pretty face."Good morning, Kiana." She hollered cheerfully. "Thanks for standing up for me last night. Nobody has ever done that.""Good morning, Julie." I responded. "It's not a problem. Forget about it.""Well, have you taken your bath? You're going out with Mr. Aiden this morning." She asked and stated."No, I haven't. I just woke up a few minutes ago." I replied."Okay, let me go prepare your bath then." She said and went into the bathroom while I sat back down on my bed."Your bath is ready, come on in!" Julie called out

Chapter Fifteen•KIANA•"And who the heck are you to tell me what to do?" She asked while glaring at me dangerously."Aiden's fiancee." I responded and her eyes widened a bit in realization."So you're the little fiancee, I have heard a lot about you." She said with a wicked glint in her eyes."I am the fiancee, and for your information, I'm not little." I snapped at her and I could see amusement in her eyes."I don't have your time, only a fool would exchange words with an immature minded bitch like you." She grinned."Then I guess you're a fool then." I smirked at her and her face turned red in anger, if we were to be in a cartoon right now, steam would be coming out of her whole face."You know, you should really mind the way you speak to people. Do I look like your mate, someone you can talk to anyhow?" She asked in a loud voice."And do I look like I care?" I retorted. I don't know what got into me but I just hate this Sophia girl already. It must be because of the way she treate

Chapter Fourteen•KIANA•I slowly walked away from the door after a few minutes of listening to their moans of pleasure that made me feel weird. It was hard for me to move away from the door as I was rooted to the spot, listening to their moans and even though it shouldn't, I got wet from listening to them and I wondered what they were doing behind the closed doors. If I didn't leave there on time, I would have done something irrational, like sliding my hands into my shorts and playing with my pussy or even go inside and ask if I could join them. Gosh, why am I still thinking about this?!I was on my way to my bedroom when Julie stopped me in the hallway."Where are you going? You haven't had dinner yet." She stated and that was when I remembered that I was yet to eat dinner but I was even feeling hungry."Uhh Julie, I'm not really feeling hungry this night. I'll just go to bed now." I replied."No can do, Miss Young Lady Ma'am!" She uttered and I couldn't help the loud laughter that

Chapter Thirteen•KIANA•"Close your mouth and stop gaping like a fish. You look like you just saw a ghost." He said and I snapped my mouth close in embarrassment. I see a hint of a smile on his face but I must have been hallucinating because this man has never smiled in front of me, never. And I doubt if he has ever smiled in his life.I've had more embarrassing moments these past few minutes than I've ever had in my life. I think I should get out of here."Can I go now, Sir?" I asked as politely as I could."Did I give you the permission to go? You'll be sitting there till I tell you to go." He replied and I groaned."Why should I sit here when I don't have anything to do?" I grumbled under my breath but he seemed to have heard me."Did you say something?" He asked, staring at me and I quickly shook my head in denial."Me? I would never." I said immediately."I thought as much." He said in a clipped tone and faced his work once again. Oh my gosh, what's my purpose of being in this o

Chapter Twelve|Evening|•KIANA•I was just coming back to my room after hours of gossiping and having fun with Liam. He told me a lot of things about Aiden. They had been friends since they were kids because boh of their parents were friends and they even thought of each other as brothers that they never had. Liam's parents died in a plane crash and Aiden's parents took him in since none of his parents' family members were turning up. He also told me that Aiden was a chubby kid, he even showed me pictures of him and I felt like pulling his cheeks through the phone. I was shocked that a cute chubby little boy that looked like he would be scared of spiders grew up to be a very hot muscular man that scares the shit out of people.I was laying on my bed, staring at the ceiling like something interesting was going on there. I was beginning to drift off to sleep when I heard a knock on the door. I slowly stood up and went to answer the door. I saw Julie standing outside my room and she smi
