I turned to see who it was as my eyes met his and my heart skipped a beat.It was Declan but what the fuck was he doing here in my place of work? I know I didn't give him directions to my workplace, so how did he find it? I didn't need to stress myself about all that because Declan had become a private investigator who goes around spying on me whenever he wanted to.He smiled at me and I felt a flutter in my chest. I wouldn't lie that of lately, I have found myself thinking about him often as I wondered if I would ever see him again but here he was now, and right i

I guess you know what I mean by that” she whispered and I looked down at her to see a mix of mischief settled in her eyes.I knew I was more than ready for what would happen next between us. She removed her body from mine as she walked further into the living room and I couldn't help but notice how she was drawing me into her temptation. The way she moved her hips as it swayed to each step she took. It was a good sight to behold and I was mesmerized. She stopped in front of the sofa and turned to face me as her eyes sparkled with excitement.I knew exactly what she was doing to me and I had already fallen for her seductive moves. “So what is the next step we are taking Ryan?” I took a step closer to her as my eyes were locked on hers.

Chapter: chapter 55Ryan's POV.I stood outside Mia's door. I had been standing in one position for so long and I kept on hesitating if I should knock on the door or not. In that moment, my head had so many thoughts and ideas lingered inside of it and I was confused on which one I had to listen to.Earlier on I didn't think much about it but now, I couldn't help but wonder if I made a mistake by coming here due to the way Mia stormed out of my house angrily. Probably I should just turn around and leave? What if she didn't want to see me? and what if she was still angry at me? How do I cope with all of that? Her anger was no joke after all.I wanted to turn back but something deep inside of me stirred up and I knew I couldn't just resist the urge to be near her when I have been thinking about her all day. After a whole lot of contemplation. My fingers finally found the doorbell and I pressed on it repeatedly as the sound echoed through the silence.“It’s you again! I thought I told you to leave me the f

That is not what I meant, but when you left me it broke me apart and you can't expect me not to feel your absence. I need you Mia, I miss you so much and I want you back in my life. Let's relive new memories and grow babies together”“I didn't come back home with the intention to see anyone, more than ever argue with anyone. I came here because I need to sleep in my own bed and have some goodnight rest, I didn't think about getting ambushed”“Mia can you just stop saying things like that? I could never think of getting you ambushed so just fucking clear those thoughts out of your head. I just wanted to see you and apologize to you, to tell how sorry I am” “You already said sorry Levi. Don't you get tired of it? You said sorry in every message you sent to me so what else is there to say?”“That I should have been the stronger person and in that way. I would have been able to pr

Chapter: chapter 52Ryan's pov contd“Can you see the effect you have on me? But I'm sad Ryan. I'm sad that you don't care about me” she whispered as her fingers lightly traced the edge of my shirt sleeve.Her words hit me so hard and I wondered why she said all of that. I opened my mouth to say something to her but she cut me off because I could speak.“I lost my unborn baby Ryan and I'm sure you know nothing about it” she said with a shaky voice as tears slipped down her cheek.“Oh my God Mia. That's such bad news and how am I supposed to know when you didn't tell me? And who else would have told me if not you?” I said as I leaned my body against my car for support.Mia stared at me intensely and I noticed as her hands curled into a fist as if she was trying to hold back the flood of emotions inside of her that threatened to spill out.“I didn't want to tell you. I didn't want to bother you or even keep my burdens on you because I thought you truly never cared about me” she said and I frowned at her.I

Chapter: chapter 246"I actually believed that we would eventually have to take sides.” Marcus could vividly recall the memories. He had been friends with Haven since high school, witnessing his journey through a painful breakup with his college girlfriend, who had betrayed him by getting involved with his roommate. Smoothly flowing friendship marked by shared experiences and challenges. The betrayal had caused Haven to build walls so high that they appeared insurmountable. His innate warmth and optimism were buried beneath layers of protective cynicism. When Fiona first re-introduced Alexis to their friend group few months ago, Marcus noticed the same wounded walls in her. Fresh from calling off her engagement to a man who had gradually tried to suppress her sparkle, in an effort to control her better, Alexis was portraying a demeanor characterized by sharp edges and cautious aloofness. Haven and Alexis moved around each other cautiously, like two wary cats, drawn to each other yet filled with insecurit

Chapter: chapter 245The park seemed hushed, only the little giggles from the children playing and the jogging steps from around the park seemed to be the only sound apart from the heartbeat of both Haven and Alexis. Haven and Alexis sat across from each other, their gazes locked. Time seemed to stand still as they simply were, their presence filling the space with a quiet intensity. Haven's heart pounded in his chest. He’d never felt this way about anyone before. It was as if he was seeing her for the first time, every detail, every nuance, striking him with a fresh sense of wonder. Her eyes, a deep, captivating brown, held a universe of emotions. He could get lost in them for hours, exploring the depths of her soul. Alexis, too, was lost in the moment. She felt a warmth spreading through her, a comforting familiarity that she hadn’t experienced in a long time. Haven’s gaze was steady and kind, a stark contrast to the chaos that often surrounded her. In his eyes, she saw acceptance, understanding, and

Chapter: chapter 244Haven's throat was fixed. He knew precisely what she meant—how they had both lost themselves in the splits and cleft of their fizzled marriage, getting to be individuals they didn’t recognize. "Do you ever think," he said, his voice scarcely capable of being heard, "about what us?" Alexis gave him a sidelong look, her expression softening. "All the time." They fell into a pensive quiet, the kind that comes as it were when two individuals share a history as well complicated for words. "I think," Alexis began gradually, "we were trying so hard to be what we thought the other needed that we overlooked to be ourselves." Haven gestured, her words resounding deeply. "No doubt. I thought I had to be this culminating supplier, continuously solid, continuously in control. But I wasn't truly letting you in. I see that now." "And I kept trying to be this perfect spouse," Alexis included with a little, self-deprecating snicker. "I needed to demonstrate that I was enough, that I coul

Chapter: chapter 243Alexis let out a little, severe giggle. “I never stopped caring, Haven. That’s the problem.” The genuineness in her voice cut through him like a knife, more sharp than any offended she may have tossed his way. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. “If you never stopped caring, why did you leave?” She hesitated, her expression tormented. “Because I was tired of waiting for you to choose me.” Haven felt the air leaving his lungs as if she had punched him. “What are you talking about? I was continuously there.” “You were physically there,” Alexis whispered, “but your heart was someplace else. Continuously working, continuously building. I needed more than that.” He closed his eyes, blaming wrapping around him like chains. He had worked himself to the bone to donate them both a great life, believing it would be enough. But in the process, he had missed the foremost vital thing—her. “I thought I was doing it for us,” he said, his voice overwhelming with lament.

Chapter: chapter 242A minute, the walls around her heart trembling but not very falling. Perhaps, just perhaps, she might take another step. “Yeah,” she said unobtrusively. “I think I do.” Haven leaned back in his leather chair, checking the numbers on his laptop screen with a tired but fulfilled smile. Business was good, better than ever, in reality. Growing his firm had been one of the most risky choices of his life, but the payoff had surpassed his expectations. However, even in the midst of his proficient victory, a gloomy hurt remained underneath the surface, one that wasn’t so effortlessly relieved by benefits and development charts.

In case you don’t expect anything, you can’t get hurt.” Dr. Patel inclined forward marginally, her hands resting on the armrests of her chair. “It sounds like you’ve built walls around yourself to secure against dissatisfaction. But those walls also make it difficult for people to associate with you, don't they?” Alexis collapsed her arms firmly over her chest. “Yeah, well. it’s not like anyone’s trying that hard, anyway.” “Do you think that’s true?” Dr. Patel inquired tenderly. “Or is that something you tell yourself since it feels safer?” Alexis looked absent, jaw fixing. “What difference does it make? They give up inevitably. Friends, boyfriends. everybody. It continuously happens.” Dr. Patel let a minute of hush hang between them before she spoke. “Tell me about your last relationship.” Alexis moaned, rubbing her sanctuaries. “Do we have to?” “I think it could help us learn mor
