Chapter: Chapter 164As soon as news of our engagement spread through the media, it quickly became the talk of the town across various news platforms in Seattle. True to form, there were a handful of envious individuals who seized the opportunity to launch a barrage of insults at me, resorting to all kinds of derogatory names. Some even went as far as suggesting that I must have employed supernatural means to captivate Noah's affections, questioning how a prosperous and youthful man could possibly be enamored by someone like me. Fortunately, my loyal friends emerged as my staunch defenders, taking on the trolls and even granting interviews on Instagram live streams to clear my tarnished reputation.Both Noah and I have consistently turned down interview requests, including those from reputable media outlets. His stance was that our relationship is not open for public scrutiny, a sentiment I wholeheartedly share. In accordance with our mutual decision, we have chosen to have a destination wedding at a ser

Chapter: Chapter 163After precisely two months of reconciling with Noah , I made the decision to organize a surprise birthday celebration for him. With his 33rd birthday approaching, my aim was to create an intimate and elegant party to honor him. To bring this event to life, I sought the assistance of his closest friends, Fredrick and Jamiu, as well as his parents. They were all eager to contribute and help organize the occasion. Today, his family will be traveling from Spain to Seattle to attend the party, which will take place at the lavish residence of their family friend, Mr. Matthew Dawnson, a billionaire tycoon.Marilyn, who suggested the venue, assured me that Matthew's house in Seattle was the ideal location for the type of party I have envisioned. As it turns out, she was absolutely correct. The mansion occupied a vast expanse of land that seemed to extend infinitely, bordered by the tranquil waterfront of Kirkland lagoon.It felt as though we've stepped into a breathtaking Caribbean paradise r

Chapter: Chapter 162Acting on a tip from Marilyn, I decided to visit one of Noah's clubs where an artist signed to his record label was performing tonight. Noah was unaware of my surprise visit, although he knew his mother had come to see me earlier. She had asked if she should inform him about my desire to meet up, but I declined, as I was the one who had cut ties with him and explicitly forbade him from contacting me again.As I approached the entrance, the bouncers inquired if my name was on the guest list. For the first time, doubts crept into my mind, questioning the wisdom of my impromptu visit. A sense of déjà vu washed over me, reminiscent of the day months ago when I went to Noah's residence for an unexpected meet up. That particular evening marked the beginning of our relationship and held the significance of our first intimate encounter. The memory brought a smile to my face, instilling in me the confidence to proceed with my purpose for the night.Approaching one of the colossal bouncers, I

Chapter: Chapter 161The children and I didn't make it downstairs until slightly past 10 a.m. It had been an incredible night, courtesy of my unexpected visit from my cousin, Samuel , who asked if he could spend the weekend with us. I was delighted to have his company, and thanks to him, we stayed up later than usual, engaging in enjoyable games, a family karaoke session, and indulging in the junk food he had brought along.Luckily, today was Saturday, so there was no need to wake up at the crack of dawn to prepare for school and work. Samuel was still asleep on the couch in the living room where we had left him the previous night. I signaled to the girls to be quiet as we stealthily made our way to the kitchen to prepare breakfast."What are we having for breakfast?" Anna inquired eagerly. "I'm famished!""Shh! Let's not wake up Uncle Samuel ," Bella admonished her sister in a hushed tone."I agree," I responded softly. "After entertaining us so well last night, he deserves to rest.""Can we have eggs

Chapter: Chapter 160As the new school year approached, my enthusiasm surpassed even that of my children. They often wondered what made me so cheerful. I was genuinely delighted to embrace the return of a structured routine. Each day held a sense of purpose: escorting my daughters to school, proceeding to work after bidding them farewell, accomplishing our weekly grocery shopping, enjoying quality time with my girlfriends every other weekend, and sporadically receiving visits from my siblings. These engagements filled my days with various activities, diverting my attention from ruminating about Noah and whether he and Reina managed to establish a connection after that dreadful morning four and a half months ago. It's astonishing how swiftly time has flown by!Interrupting my thoughts, Joe jovially exclaimed, "Knock, knock! Who's there?"I found myself seated in my office, experiencing a rather uneventful day in terms of business. Impatience consumed me as I eagerly anticipated the moment when I must pick

Chapter: Chapter 159This morning's breakfast was a delightful and uncomplicated affair. I indulged in fried bean cakes, accompanied by corn pudding generously adorned with milk and sugar, and a serving of freshly baked bread. As I savored each bite, a rush of nostalgia envelopped me, transporting me back to my cherished childhood. It was during those Saturday mornings that my mother would skillfully prepare this delightful combination, her dedication evident after hours of meticulously cleaning the house and its surroundings. Ah, the fond memories of those days gone by.Noah, observing me intently with an inquisitive smile, playfully remarked, "Seems like our chef deserves a raise, considering the immense joy on your face. I never knew you were such an ardent fan of bean cakes. Or perhaps it's the velvety-smooth pudding that has brought about such happiness?"A gentle chuckle escaped my lips as I responded, "Not exactly. Although this food has undeniably transported me back to my childhood, it was my mot

Chapter: Chapter 106~SophiaThe morning air was crisp, the sun barely peeking over the horizon as we loaded our bags into the trunk of the car. Nathaniel lifted the heavier suitcases with ease, while I busied myself with Lily’s smaller bags, making sure everything was neatly packed. Lily stood beside me, rubbing her sleepy eyes and yawning. “Do we really have to leave this early?” I chuckled, ruffling her curls. “Yes, sweetheart. We have a long drive ahead of us.” She sighed dramatically. “But I wanted to stay longer.” I smiled, bending to her level. “I know, but your birthday is around the corner, and we need to start preparing. Plus, don’t forget—you’re starting at your new school soon.” Her eyes widened slightly, excitement flickering through them before she pouted again. “Fine.” I stood and dusted off my hands. “Now, go inside and tell Aunt Martha that we’re about to leave.” Lily nodded and ran off toward the house. As soon as she was gone, I leaned against the car and smirked at Nath

Chapter: Chapter 105~NathanielThe church was bathed in soft golden light, the high ceilings echoing with the faint murmurs of guests as they waited. The air smelled of fresh flowers—roses, lilies, and peonies arranged beautifully at every corner. The scent blended with the faint aroma of burning candles, adding a solemn yet romantic touch to the atmosphere. I stood near the altar, dressed in a crisp black suit, watching the guests whisper among themselves. Everyone looked radiant, their faces alight with joy and anticipation. The groomsmen stood tall in their dark blue tuxedos, while the bridesmaids, dressed in soft pink, giggled amongst themselves. Then, the music changed. The doors at the far end of the church swung open, and the entire room turned to look. There she was—Martha. She stepped inside, her white gown flowing like a dream, the delicate lace shimmering under the light. A soft veil cascaded down her back, framing her glowing face. She held a bouquet of white roses, her fingers trem

Chapter: Chapter 104~EthanI arrived at the prison earlier than I had planned, my heart pounding with anticipation. I sat in the visitor’s area, drumming my fingers on the metal table as I waited. Other visitors were scattered around the room, some talking in hushed tones, others looking exhausted, and a few staring blankly at the walls like they had already given up on the person they came to see. But not me. I wasn’t giving up. My mom was finally getting out, and I was going to be the one to tell her. A warden walked over, his face expressionless. "She’ll be with you right away," he said. I nodded. "Thanks, man." He didn’t respond—just turned and walked away. A few minutes later, the door opened. I sat up straight as my mother walked in, escorted by two guards. She wasn’t wearing the usual prison jumpsuit today; instead, she had on a plain, oversized gray sweater and matching pants, her dark hair pulled back into a loose ponytail. Her face was calm, but I knew her well enough to see

Chapter: Chapter 103~EthanI sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the crumpled piece of paper in my hand. My fingers hovered over my phone’s keypad, ready to dial the number my mom had slipped to me at the prison. I took a deep breath. I was about to do something insane. Was I really going to break my mother out of prison? I rubbed a hand over my face. I had already talked to my friends about it, and they were in. My mother was desperate. And I… I couldn’t just leave her in there to rot. But still… this was risky as hell. I shook my head. No more thinking. Just do it. I exhaled and pressed the first digit of the number— RING! RING! I flinched as my phone rang in my hand, making me nearly drop it. I glanced at the screen. Dad. I groaned, rolling my eyes. "What does he want now?" I muttered under my breath. It couldn’t be a coincidence. Now, when I’m about to call the guy who’s going to break Mom out, Dad suddenly decides to call? I scoffed. "What, is he trying to distract me now

Chapter: Chapter 102~SophiaI had been glancing at my phone every five minutes, counting down the hours, waiting for him to arrive. The moment I heard the sound of a car pulling up outside, I knew it was him. "Lily!" I gasped, practically throwing down the napkin I had been holding. Lily’s head shot up, eyes wide. "He's here?" I didn’t even answer. We both rushed outside, nearly knocking over one of the caterers who yelped as she carried a tray of wine glasses. And there he was. Nathaniel stepped out of his sleek black Bugatti, looking every bit the man I had missed. Tall, effortlessly handsome, and carrying that signature air of confidence that made everyone else look like they were trying too hard. The second his eyes met mine, a smile curved his lips. I didn't even think—I ran straight at him and smacked his arm. "You jerk!" I scolded, though my grin betrayed me. "I really thought you weren’t going to make it!" Nathaniel chuckled, catching my wrist before I could hit him again. "I to

Chapter: Chapter 101~EthanThe whiskey burned as it slid down my throat, but I barely felt it. My mind was too tangled, too heavy with thoughts that refused to settle. I sat slumped in my chair at the bar, one hand wrapped around my glass, the other drumming against the counter. The dim lighting, the low hum of conversation, and the distant clatter of billiard balls barely registered. My mom’s voice echoed in my head. Call the number. He’ll tell you how to get me out of here. What the hell was I supposed to do? I exhaled sharply and took another sip, barely noticing the three idiots sitting around me. "Yo, Ethan!" I blinked and looked up to see Darren waving a hand in front of my face. His cocky smirk made me want to throw my glass at him. "You good, man?" he asked, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "You’ve been staring into that drink like it’s about to tell you your future." Beside him, Jordan snickered. "Nah, he’s still crying over Sarah. Poor guy got played like a sack of trash, and
