When the last page of the document was signed, Harry could finally breathe deeply. It was over. Laura tried to fight it, but she had nothing left; none of the Crushers supported her. And the first thing he did with his freedom restored was to go and bring back the mother of his child. They settled back into Amanda's small, old apartment, for the time being. The house had gone to Laura, and Harry had no interest in going back there.

And although Emma was legally in the care of her grandparents, she moved in with them. And for the first time, she was able to experience what it was like to have a loving family. It was easy for her to bond with Amanda, the little girl got along with everyone, especially when she received kisses and hugs and heard stories before going to bed. Having the same person take her to daycare by the hand and then pick her up to spend some time at the park soon became a habit for the little girl.

Amanda asked Deanna to be her son's godmother and Dan

  • A Wife For My Brother   Love is not a word, it is a verb

    Deanna continued singing throughout her pregnancy, but it became increasingly difficult. Carrying two children growing inside her and still shining on stage, captivating the audience with her voice and stage presence, was becoming difficult. Daniel accompanied her to every performance, proud of his wife and excited about the belly that grew every day.“I can't do this anymore,“ she told Leonard as she stepped off the stage.Wagner's Tristan and Isolde was the opera Marcus had chosen for that season.“Don't worry, I'll talk to Marcus and we'll find a replacement for you. It's time for you to rest, baby,” he said worriedly.He held her hand as if she were going to fall or fall apart. For Reed, it was a new experience. Despite Alice's pregnancies, he had never been involved in anything like this. But now he could see his grandchildren growing inside his daughter and was experiencing all kinds of emotions.Deanna was so touched

    He held her hand as they waited for their turn for the ultrasound. One of her feet kept tapping the floor, causing her knee to rise and fall.Several other couples were waiting, some women alone, and they looked at them curiously. You couldn't help but notice the 15-year age difference, especially Daniel's increasingly noticeable gray hair. And, for some reason, Deanna's face looked more cheerful, fresher, and younger.“Don't be nervous,” she said, giving him a small smile.He just looked at her and smiled back. He was always nervous for her and their children; he couldn't help it. Even if everything was perfect and normal, Daniel always worried. It was just the way he was.Finally, it was time to go in, and the specialist welcomed them with everything ready.“Would you like to know the sex of your babies?” she asked.“Yes.”“Very well... Then let's check how they are first.”She

  • A Wife For My Brother   I love you not for who you are, but for who I am when I am with you.

    For the other grandfather, the more worldly one, everything was new. He couldn't share Charles's vision regarding children and grandchildren. He had only just learned to be a father to Deanna, when she no longer needed him to grow up. And he was still learning. Grandchildren? That was in another dimension.He had spent half his life immersed in resentment, hatred, and self-punishment. He reflected his mother's rejection in the women around him: his wife and daughters. He carried the unhappiness of lost love and felt nothing but fleeting moments.And in the blink of an eye, he had a family and a stable relationship that complemented him. He and Susan were something neither of them suspected or planned; they grew closer after Deanna and Daniel remarried, at family gatherings, in casual conversations. Until one day he realized he couldn't stop thinking about her.Old Leonard dusted off his true charm to win her over; because this woman was not like the others, this

    And Daniel wasn't the only Crusher dealing with doubts and uncertainties. Harry was also still learning, but for him, the learning curve was different: he had left behind a toxic relationship, devoid of affection and love, for one that was completely opposite. And sometimes, just sometimes, the resentment from those times would leave a lump in his throat.Even though Amanda was about to give birth, Harry still hadn't taken that next step in their relationship: marriage. He truly wanted to marry the mother of his child, but he had bitter memories from his last marriage that were holding him back.“I understand, Deanna, it's not easy for him to accept that things have changed,” Amanda said one warm afternoon as they sat together enjoying the last rays of sunshine.“That child was very lucky to have found you. I guess he still has a lot of open wounds.”“Yes... but he also became a happy and funny man. He's nothing like the Harr

  • A Wife For My Brother   A Crazy Idea

    Deanna wasn't at all happy with what Harry was proposing. He had to be crazy to come up with such an idea."What you're saying makes zero sense. Did you hit your head before coming here?""I know, but we need your help. I don't know who else to ask."Harry's girlfriend, Laura, wasn't saying anything, but she was getting more nervous by the minute.Their situation wasn't good - they were still in school, they were young, madly in love, but they'd been careless. Laura had confirmed her pregnancy just three days ago."I get where you're coming from, Harry, but no one's going to buy it. Your family doesn't even know me.""But I talked to my brother and he agreed. Please Deanna, help us."Laura finally spoke up, her eyes full of tears."We wouldn't ask this if it wasn't so important to us. Our families are really strict about this stuff. They won't let Harry marry me if his older brother is still single. And my family won't let me keep the baby unless I'm married."Seeing Laura so distress

  • A Wife For My Brother   Ice Face

    Daniel Crusher had been a widower for 5 years. His wife had died from a heart condition shortly after giving birth to their youngest son. She left him alone with 3 kids and a deep sadness in a house that suddenly felt too big.He had no intentions of remarrying, even though he was one of the most eligible bachelors and was known to have had a few brief relationships. He could raise his children alone, or at least that's what he thought.And then his younger brother comes along, backs him into a corner with a completely unthinkable proposal. When he found out why, he exploded in fury."How can you be so irresponsible?!"But Daniel couldn't leave his brother and Laura to their fate. Much less abandon the little one on the way. Behind the ice shield he'd built around himself, there was still a warm-hearted man."Who is she?" he had asked.And again, he hit the roof when Harry told him about Deanna."But if she goes to university with you, that means... she's your age?""Yes, she's 25 lik

  • A Wife For My Brother   The Meeting

    Daniel was the first to arrive at the apartment. He'd been there a few times over the years, but this time Laura's presence was noticeable in little things throughout the house. It was clear they'd been sharing the place for a while. For some reason, he felt nervous; this situation was very similar to when his mother set him up with her friends' daughters, except this time he came willingly. Maybe because this was the first time he was the one waiting for approval. A few minutes later, the doorbell rang - it was Deanna. The moment he saw her cross the threshold, he knew this would be harder than he'd thought. She entered with a huge smile and within seconds filled the place with her energy, as if radiating some kind of warm light. She wore her hair down, the abundant caramel-colored mane covering her shoulders. Daniel's first reaction was to stand up immediately, as if pushed by an invisible force. Upon seeing him, Deanna didn't hesitate to approach and stand before the tall, dark-h

    The next day, Daniel met with his parents. He needed to stay as calm as possible and tell them the news naturally; without wavering while following the story to the letter, or no one would believe the charade."Well, we're here son. What did you want to talk to us about?" his mother asked."I'm getting married.""What do you mean you're getting married? What are you talking about, Daniel?" His father was a bit surprised, it was something he never expected to hear from him again."I'm getting married in a few weeks, Dad, and I want the whole family to meet her.""Wait a moment son, wait... Who exactly are you marrying?""Deanna.""Who? Who is Deanna?"He knew his mother would flood him with questions. She wanted her grandchildren to have a woman's presence while growing up besides herself or Susan, but this was too sudden. Neither of them was prepared to hear what Daniel had to say."Deanna is Harry's university classmate. We've been dating for several months now and I've decided to ma

    “Well, what shall we do? Shall we have dinner?“ asked Leonard.“Please, I'm starving...” replied Deanna.“Get changed and let's go the Liverpool, my friend has booked us a table.”“Are you coming, Harry?“ asked Daniel.“Harry said he had things to do, but we'll take Emma,” replied Deanna.He rushed out with his phone in one hand and his car keys in the other. He had no idea what was going on, all he understood was that the envelope he was now carrying inside his jacket gave him the freedom he so desperately wanted. Freedom without fear.How had Deanna gotten it? He didn't understand either. All he could see was the road ahead. As he drove, he realized what he was feeling, what he really needed. It wasn't an impulse or a consolation. He wanted to see her, hear her, be with her, beg her for forgiveness and plead with her.When he arrived at the address on his GPS, he got out of

    Once again, the Ambassador raised the curtain, the lights shone brightly, and the seats awaited the audience. It was another opening night in the city. Some were eager to see her again, others went out of curiosity, and she continued to feel nervous. But this time, the entire family was present, even Camila.She could no longer make excuses; she was the wife of his eldest son. And to Charles' surprise, she hadn't put up much resistance; it seemed that she was beginning to accept Deanna's place. Harry also got his tickets, which caused another argument at home, but he didn't care what Laura had to say. He dressed Emma and they left; he didn't know how long the girl would be able to sit still, but at least they would see her for a while.In her dressing room, there was a bouquet of roses from Daniel, her costume hanging on a hanger, and the makeup artist putting the finishing touches on her. Her stomach was a ball of nerves and her heart was filled with happiness. She ha

    Daniel arrived home from work to find Leonard sitting in his living room, looking very relaxed and comfortable, but Deanna was nowhere to be seen.“What are you doing here?” he asked.“Deanna called me and asked me to come over.”“For the premiere?”Leonard just shrugged.“Are they here?”“Nope...”“And Susan?”“At home.”The door opened and Jonathan ran in, followed by Ethan and Naomi and finally Deanna.“Hi, sweetie,” Leonard greeted her.Strangely, the children barely said hello and quickly went up to their rooms. Her face said nothing; she was grim, somber. She looked at them and made them uncomfortable.“Deanna, what's wrong?“ Daniel noticed something strange.“I need to talk to you. Can we go to your office?”“Yes...”What was going on?

    Deanna searched her mind, but she couldn't remember anyone named Amanda, not even from college. But from the way she asked about Harry and looked at Emma, she knew him.“Harry's fine... I saw him a few hours ago.”“Emma has grown so much,” she said, but something in her voice sounded wrong.“Excuse me... are you okay?”“To be honest, no... I sound like a stalker, don't I? I'm sorry... I couldn't resist the urge... I came to town to do some research and see my doctor, and I was passing by... I know I shouldn't have done it.”She was confused. The woman spoke to her naturally, even confidently. However, it was clear from her expression and tone of voice that she wasn't quite right. She looked at her belly as she caressed it with one hand.“I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused Daniel too. He's been so good and kind, he cared about me... About us.
