Chapter: OUR STORY, THE END.“There’s something I want to say…” she said, stepping forward, her gaze drifting to me.But then her reaction softened, turning into sadness, maybe regret.“Shimma,” she started, moving even more closer. “Please forgive me if I ever made things hard for you. You know I have always wanted the best for you; that way, I must have overreacted. I am so sorry,” she said, tears pricking at the corners of her eyes.I let out a sigh of relief, drawing her in for a hug. “Mum, it’s okay, I forgive you,” I said, tears streaming down my face as I turned to Mr. Mattias. He wiped his eyes, turning away quickly. Was he crying too?MR. MATTIAS' POV.Gosh! She caught me crying. Although I don’t blame myself for doing so, seeing her happy for the first time in a long while made me, you know, emotional.Finally, there’s nothing holding us back—not her parents, not life itself; everything I ever dreamed of is all happening.I would be getting married to the love of my life in a few weeks, and in a few mo

Chapter: Please Dad!“What is going on here? And what is he doing here?” he asked, his tone cold.Before I could gather my thoughts to respond, Mr. Mattias gently squeezed my hand and stepped forward. “Derry,” he began, his voice steady but respectful. “I understand this may come as a shock to you.”My father’s frown deepened, but Mr. Mattias pressed on. “Please, I would appreciate it if you let me explain.”“Explain what? The fact that you went ahead to find Shimma, even after threatening to ruin your life?” my father said, anger evident in his voice.But there was this strange calmness about him; he was as angry as I thought he would be.“I don’t care if you ruin my life, Derry. All that matters to me is your daughter, Shimma,” Mr. Mattias said, turning to steal a glance at me.“And there’s something we have to tell you.” Hearing this, I watched my mother's eyes widen in curiosity, although she had been strangely quiet throughout.“Shimma and I are engaged, and she’s pregnant.” I heard my mother finally

Chapter: Cry baby.“We are here,” Mr. Mattias said as he sat in the driver’s seat, his gaze drifting to me as we pulled up in front of my parents' house.I could feel my heart racing—no, pounding hard!. While my mind raced with a million thoughts.God. What if I am making a mistake by coming here? what if they take me away like they did before? How would they react? What would my father do to Mr. Mattias if he found out I was engaged and pregnant by him? My mother on the other hand must have thought she had ruined everything that Mr. Mattias and I had, but what would her reaction be if she found out she had actually made us closer?“Are you okay, babe?” Mr. Mattias asked, breaking me from the whirlwind of thoughts. I nodded. “Yeah—yeah, I’m fine,” I said, slowly watching the guards walk up to us.One of the guards who had spotted me gasped, his eyes wide as if he had seen a ghost. “G—good day, Ma’am,” he greeted, shock evident in his tone. “Good day, please let us in,” I said, feeling breathless.He nod

Chapter: Let’s Tell Them.“Babe, there’s something else I have to tell you,” I said.He raised his head to gaze at me, his cheeks wet from tears. I used my hand to wipe his face as I spoke.“While I am happy to share my life with you and our child, I don’t see my life without my parents in it too. My dad is your best friend, and I don’t want to come between you both.”“Shhhh, shhhh,” he said, taking my left hand and planting a soft kiss on it. “You didn’t come between I and Derry, but I understand he’s just protective of you, just like I will be of our daughter.” I frowned.“Who said she’s going to be a girl? I’m sorry, but we are having a boy,” I said, chuckling.“Well, we are having a girl because she told me so?” Mr. Mattias responded.“Who?”“Her! She literally just spoke to me.”“What the?! He’s not even fully formed yet!”“She’s, not he’s,” Mr. Mattias corrected, and we both giggled.He stood up, dragging a chair close to mine, then leaning over so he could be closer to me.I knew Mr. Mattias had always

Chapter: You’re pregnant?!I was done setting up the candles on the dining table when I heard a knock on my door.A warm smile formed on my lips as I made my way to open the door.Standing there was Mr. Mattias, in a black shirt and perfectly fitted beige pants.He held a bouquet of roses. Not that I was surprised; this was like the tenth time in two weeks I had received roses from him. I might as well get used to it now.“Hi,” he said nervously. Why was he nervous? I hadn’t even spilled the tea yet.“Hi,” I said softly as I paved the way for him to enter, his cologne enveloping the room.“Wow!” he exclaimed, his eyes landing on the dining table. The settings.“This is beautiful,” he said, turning to glance at me. “But what’s the occasion?” he asked. There was no way he would know I was pregnant yet because he had called me earlier, asking what the doctor said the problem was, and I told him it was stress. I know; I had to lie to him so that I could get his full reaction in person. Forgive me.“Well, I have ne

Chapter: Whoa!!!THREE WEEKS LATER.It was a Saturday morning. I sat on my couch, giggling and chuckling, my gaze focused on the TV. As I watched my favourite reality shows.I placed my hand on my tummy, because it was grumbling. Obviously I was starving. It was last ten Am and I hadn't had breakfast.I picked up the remote control, pressing the power off buttton. I honestly didn't want to quit the sho w, but at the same time I needed to eat.I got up, about to tak a first step, but I paused, placing my hand on my hand because I had just felt a sharp head ache. I felt this way yesterday and it's becoming concerning. After a few seconds, I felt the headache reduce and then I proceeded to head to the kitchen.-------Later that afternoon, I got dressed to go see the doctor. I thought the nauseous feelings would stop but it hadn't, and I needed to take a test, just to know what's wrong."HEY BABE, I'M LEAVING FOR THE HOSPITAL ALREADY," I texted Mr Mattias.He had basically forced me to leave after I had

Chapter: Is he real?DARLENE'S POV. The weight of Conri’s voice lingered in my mind as I stood frozen by the phone. Panic surged within me, but I couldn’t let fear take hold of me—not here, not now. I and Cullian had fought too hard for this peace. “Mommy?” Aurora’s voice broke through my thoughts. I turned to see her standing in the doorway, concern etched on her face. I couldn’t let her see my fear. “Just a minute, sweetie!” I called out, forcing a smile. I needed to focus on what mattered, my husband—my children, my family. Cullian walked out of the kitchen agaim, his brow furrowed with worry. “Darlene, what’s wrong?” “It was nothing, just a client,” I lied, pushing down the knot in my stomach. I didn’t want to ruin the evening with my fears. “Alright,” He nodded, but I could still see the concern in his eyes. As i made my way upstairs, my children ran around me, I tried to join in, but my thoughts kept drifting back to Conri. How could he still be alive? ——— We had dinner together, a

I now enjoyed my daily routine—mornings filled with laughter, long days at work, and cozy evenings with my family. It was everything I had fought for, and I was thankful for it all.As I walked through the front door, tired from a long day, I felt the stress begin to melt away because I could hear the sounds of my kids laughing in the living room, which made me smile.“Mummy!” Aurora shouted, her little feet rushing toward me. I dropped my bag and knelt down, arms wide open to receive her.“Hey, my little sunshine!” I hugged her tightly. Drake and Blake soon joined us, their faces lit with excitement.“Did you bring us anything?” Blake asked, his big eyes sparkling.“Just this,” I said, ruffling his hair which made him giggle.

Chapter: He's dead.CULLIAN'S POV.The room felt like a battleground, the air filled with the scent of sweat and blood. Every breath I took tasted metallic. Conri loomed before me. His eyes burned with a relentless rage.As we clashed again, pain shot through my body. Conri’s claws raked across my side, tearing through flesh and fur. I winced, feeling the warm trickle of blood pooling beneath my pelt. Each strike from him felt like a hammer against my bones, and I struggled to keep my footing. 'I can’t let him win. I can’t let him take them from me.'“Is this all you’ve got?” Conri mocked, his breath hot and foul. “You’re just prolonging the inevitable.” The taunt stung more than the wounds he inflicted.I lunged at him, desperation fueling my movements. I managed to catch his flank with my teeth, but he retaliated with a brutal snap of his jaws. His teeth sank into my shoulder, and I let out a growl of pain, the sharpness of his bite sending shockwaves through my body. 'How much longer can I endure this

Chapter: "Give up now!" Darlene's POVDarlene couldn't stop walking around room in Hawaii, her heart racing. They had flown here seeking safety and peace, but now a heavy weight of dread settled in her chest. Cullian had promised to protect them, and yet he hadn’t answered her calls. “Mummy, is Daddy coming back soon?” Blake’s small voice broke through her thoughts.Darlene knelt beside her son, forcing a smile. “Yes, sweetie. Daddy will be back soon. He just has some important things to take care of.” But inside, her anxiety grew. She had tried calling Cullian several times, each unanswered ring echoing in her mind.The air felt charged, as if a storm was brewing. Darlene’s instincts screamed that something was wrong. She could feel it deep in her bones. The thought of Cullian facing danger alone made her stomach twist. “Why won’t he answer?” she murmured, glancing at Blake, who seemed to sense her worry. “Is he okay?” Blake asked, his eyes wide with concern.“I hope so, honey. I really hope so.” Darlene

Chapter: This is the fight, the one that end's it all.Cullian paced, his heart racing. He could sense something was off; the air was thick with tension. Suddenly, a loud crash broke in. Cullian rushed to the window, his instincts screaming at him. He saw figures moving in the darkness—his guards. They were fighting, but one by one, they fell, taken down swiftly by an unseen force. "Conri…" Cullian muttered under his breath. He knew him too well, and he knew this was no ordinary attack. Just as Cullian turned to grab his jacket, a loud bang echoed through the front door. It burst open, and there stood Conri, his presence dominating the room. He was alone, but his aura was enough to fill the space with dread. Cullian’s jaw clenched. “You shouldn’t have come here, Conri.”“I had to see you one last time before I end this,” Conri replied, a smirk on his lips. The two men faced each other, tension crackling in the air. Cullian stepped forward, fists clenched. “You think you can just walk in here and threaten my family?”Conri chuckled da

Chapter: Escaping him.As I neared the exit, I knew I would do whatever it took to find her. Nothing would stand in my way.DARLENE'S POV.“Mummy! Daddy!” Drake and Blake shouted in unison as they raced toward us. My heart melted as they enveloped Cullian and me in a tight embrace, their warmth a stark contrast to the chilling events that had just unfolded.We had literally escaped death. It was heartbreaking to realize that, for a moment, I had feared we might never see our children again. The thought lingered painfully in my mind, a reminder of how fragile our lives could be.Cullian knelt down, gently ruffling Blake's and Drake's hair with a tender smile. “I missed you so much, buddy,” he said, his voice filled with relief.“But Dad, why did you leave us all day? We woke up and couldn’t find you. Where did you three go?” Drake asked, his brows furrowed in confusion and concern.“We were kidnapped,” Aurora mumbled softly, her voice trembling. “But Dad came to save us,” she added, her eyes shining with adm

Chapter: Stay the hell away from her!“Get your filthy hands off her right now,” I heard. Turning to the door, I could see Jake approaching, his eyes filled with anger—rage!Before I could process what was happening, Jake swung his fist, landing a powerful blow to Ethan’s jaw. Ethan stumbled back, shock and fury flashing across his face before he crashed to the floor.“Jake!” I gasped, my heart racing as I stopped him from hitting Ethan further.Jake glared down at Ethan, who was now on the floor, holding his face. “You stay the hell away from Alice,” he warned, his voice low and menacing. “If you ever come near her again, you’ll regret it.”Ethan growled, his pride wounded but his eyes filled with rage. “You think this is over? I will make you pay! Just watch!”“Well, I’ll be waiting,” Jake replied, grabbing my hand and pulling me toward the door. “Let’s go.”As we stepped out into the hallway, I could feel my whole body trembling. But the thought of Jake coming to my rescue made me grateful to have ever crossed paths wi

I packed my bag as usual, picking up my phone when it buzzed in my hand.I glanced at the screen, a smile forming on my face when I saw Jake's name flash across it.“Hello,” I said after answering the call. “Hi, please do not go home yet. (clears throat awkwardly) I mean, can I drop you off today like we spoke about earlier?” Jake asked. I giggled, my insides fluttering as I responded.“Yes, I’ll wait, but please do not make me wait for long,” I said, still smiling. “Sure, I promise, I’ll be there in a few minutes.” “Alright, see you soon.” “See you soon, babe—I mean, Alice, shit,” he mumbled, and the call went dead.I held the phone to my ear, even though I knew the call had ended. “Did he just call me babe?

Chapter: Dear Baby…But the way he stared at me, the way he began to approach me again…“What are you sorry for? Why are you sorry?” he asked, taking more steps toward me as I took more steps back, until I was trapped between the wall and him. His tall, muscular body hovered above mine.I gulped hard, trying to catch my breath, but then he took a step back, and another, a frown forming on his face. “I should, uh, I should go,” he said, running his hand in and out of his hair nervously, as if he had just realized what he was doing.I made way for him to go through the door, but then he turned to me again. “Would you like me to pick you up after you’re done?” he asked, and I nodded, still feeling breathless.I watched him open the door, and then he took his leave.Immediately he left, I released a heavy sigh, my legs felt so weak that I staggered, unable to stand properly. But then I managed to lean on my desk, my eyes wide open in astonishment.“He kissed me, I kissed him, we both kissed,” I kept mutterin

Chapter: I messed up.Alice! Open up!” I heard, but it wasn’t Ethan’s voice. It wasn’t my boss either. It was… Jake.I stood up, hurrying to the door. I opened it, and standing there was Jake. My ears weren’t playing tricks on me.“Are you okay?” he asked, his tone filled with worry, even the way he stared at me.“Uhmmm,” I mumbled, unable to find the right words.“Come on, Alice, speak to me. You sounded like you were in trouble.” Just then, I came back to my senses—my confrontation with Ethan, the threats, the pregnancy.I drew Jake inside my office, closing the door and pulling him in for a hug.I don’t know why; I don’t know why I was bothering him right now, but I realized that I needed it.I felt his arms wrap around me, pulling me close. He just kept hugging me.After a few minutes, I pulled away, wiping the tears that pricked at the corners of my eyes.His body was so comforting that I couldn’t help but cry.“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Jake bent down, staring deep into my eyes. I looked awa

Chapter: What if…“Is it?” he challenged, a glint of something dangerous in his eyes…Just as I was about to respond, I heard my boss, Mr. George, say, “Mr. Ethan, please, what is going on? Why are you both causing a scene?”“Sorry, sir, I’ll take my leave now,” I said, quickly using the opportunity to walk away.“God, he knows; he fucking knows. What do I do?” I kept mumbling, my heart racing as I walked into my office, shutting the door and making sure it was locked.I leaned against the door, placing my hand on my chest. Maybe it would calm my heavy breathing, I thought. But it didn’t.I needed to do something. I can’t let Ethan find out this child is his; he will ruin both our lives. I know him.I walked over to my desk, picked up my phone, and quickly dialed Jake's number.On the third ring, he picked up. “Alice,” he said immediately when the call connected.“J—Jake, are you free this evening?” I asked, staring at my wristwatch; it was past two PM.“Uh, yes, yes I am. Do you want to meet up?” he a

Chapter: Is it?….But just as I was about to make my escape, I heard his voice call out to me. “Alice,”I kept going, not wanting to turn back to him, but then I felt his grip on me.My heart raced as he blocked my path, his infuriating smirk twisting my stomach into knots.He leaned in slightly, his voice oozing with arrogance. “I saw you staring at me throughout our meeting,” he said teasingly.“And why on earth would you think such a thing of me? I was only paying attention to work. The last face I ever want to see is yours,” I said, attempting to move, but he stopped me.“Wait. I’m guessing your fiancé left you, since there’s no ring on your finger?” My eyes ran down to my hand, and for a split second, I shut my eyes tight, feeling frustratedly helpless. How could I forget that Josh lied to him about being my fiancé, and now I’m without an engagement ring?I forced a smile, trying to mask the unease swirling inside me. “Well, I don’t see my life being your business anymore.”Ethan raised an eyebrow
