Lily hesitated before answering, unsure of what he could possibly want."Hey, Lily. How are you doing?" Mark's voice was cold and distant, a stark contrast to the warmth and passion she had experienced with Ethan."I'm fine, Mark. What do you want?" Lily asked, trying to keep her voice steady."I just wanted to check in and see how you're doing. I heard you're seeing someone new." Mark's tone was accusatory, and Lily could feel his jeal

She pushed it to the back of her mind, but it lingered, a constant reminder of the life she had left behind.Despite her fears, she couldn't resist the pull she felt towards Ethan.

Chapter: Chapter 5If I ever revealed the truth, Leo's life could be ruined by that knowledge. And I was aware that once the truth was out, it could not be undone.Jason could have believed he was aware, but he couldn't be certain unless I told him. So despite how much I wanted us to be a typical couple in love and expecting a child, I was unable to make it happen.While wiping away my tears, I looked up at the ceiling of my former bedroom. I had battled my attraction to Jason throughout my adolescent years, and I had been in this position a lot in my life. When he would take another female out on a date, I had done it occasionally because my heart was bleeding so deeply.I never wanted to experience that anxiety again. I sighed, "I've got to get out of here quickly." Once in my life, I had been able to overcome my desire to Jason, so I wanted to do it once again. Despite how difficult it would be to say goodbye to him once more.Perhaps I can finish it before he gets up. I firmly pushed myself out of

Chapter: Chapter 4He questioned how he failed to recognize it sooner. Why hadn't he realized that he wasn't a blasted idiot? He was disgusted by the fact that it had required a vengeful lady, whom he had hardly even dated, to get his attention. A man ought to have a thorough understanding of his own son. Perhaps it was because the idea of a brother and sister having a child was so unbelievable.No, he snorted inwardly: a stepsister and stepsbrother. If only everyone in the world besides him and her would keep that in mind.Little Leo's fingers curled around the hand that was holding the bottle up for him as he lazily looked at his hand. Jason felt his son's small body warm on his chest as he gazed at his amazing face.He felt astonishment. With a deep sigh, Leo cooed and pushed his head on his breast.Jason had never considered starting a family—damn. not ever since he and Jane fell out of love. Although he was too stupid at the time to think about it, he was confident that he would have soon busted

Chapter: Chapter 3It had kept us apart for a lot of the time, which had been good for us up until that fateful night. Back then, I had disliked and resented his business and job.I still didn't think it was a great idea to take Leo to AJ's, but they all objected.and I was aware that kids did frequently visit with their parents. It was in fact a traditional neighborhood bar.I continued to be dubious as Jason raised Leo in his car seat above the heads of some customers leaving AJ's. "Jason, I don't know," I said.They all stopped to chat behind us, so they must have known mom and dad. Jason kept us moving, and I was compelled to haveIt gave me the impression that the three of us were a family and I secretly yearned for that.I slid in next to Leo while Jason sat down across from us in a booth after setting down Leo, who was sucking on a bottle and watching everything. The bar was quite crowded, but the majority of patrons were standing up next to the bar in rows three deep. Leo was enthralled I supp

Chapter: Chapter 2Jason said, "Here, let me get that," from behind my right shoulder. Leo was perched on my other hip while I struggled to remove Leo's playpen from the SUV's back seat with the other hand. Even though it seemed like I was in front of a firing squad, I decided to stay even though I should have just gotten in the car and driven off.I answered obstinately, "I can get it," as though I needed to keep him from assisting me in any way with Leo."You can, yes. But you're going to let me get away with it, right? Jason said in his trademark I'm-taking-no-shit tone.A voice that always caused me to tremble in inappropriate places. It had always baffled me where Jason hadHe didn't inherit his imposing manliness from Murray. Jason, I assumed, just had it naturally.Jason must have known I was caving when I said, "Well, thanks for trying not to cuss, but saying 'damn' might not be good either." I assumed Jason knew me well enough to know I was caving.I didn't pay attention to Jason's upper body a

Chapter: Chapter 1Do you want to take a chance by seeing your grandmother, Baby Leo? I grumbled as I saw my six-month-old baby, who had gray eyes that matched those of his father. Mashed carrots, which covered his bottom lip, chin, and cheeks. Leo disliked his vegetables. As I skillfully scraped the carrot off of him like a pro and attempted to put it in his mouth, he cooed at me and waved his hands to reach the baby spoon. He grinned as he opened up after I made the train sound, and I shoved. Nearly as if he were accusing me of the sneak attack, his eyes widened, but then he began to eat. I rubbed his under-chin with a "See" grin. It is excellent. The other half began to shoot out of his mouth and drip down his chin as soon as I finished speaking. I chuckled. He was the most priceless thing ever, my goodness. But as soon as I had that thought, I felt depressed. His father would never be aware of his uniqueness. The latest conundrum is whether or not to visit home. Nobody at home was aware th
