2025-03-05 17:06:54Daniel’s shadows lit up when he was alone with her.
They didn’t go back home; the kids were staying with Susan again anyway. All those years he had spent alone after Emily died felt so distant now, as if his life had a gap where time had stopped and the darkness of grief had covered everything.
Now, Deanna filled it all with her light.
His office had once been his hideout, a place where his sorrow could consume him without anyone seeing. The entire top floor of the building belonged to him, fully equipped, even with a small room that was now empty and filled with old boxes.
"Your office feels like an apartment…" she murmured, glancing around.
"In a way, it was."
They were lyin

Laura’s face was losing color as she listened to Beverly, her fingers tightening around the fabric of her dress.“Why are you telling me all this?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.“I’m not going to play innocent with you… That’s not my style. You know, like everyone else, that I’ve always been interested in Daniel.” She paused, watching Laura’s expression carefully. “You’re her friend, and I do feel for you, but it’s only a matter of time before your husband decides he can’t hold back anymore. At the office, he treats his brother with contempt—avoids him, ignores him. And for what? I don’t think it makes sense for them to be fighting over a woman.” She leaned in slightly. “Let’s be honest, Laura. You don’t want to separate from Harry

“Daniel’s wife is coming along with his daughter,” Lily’s mother told Alice at the salon, lowering her voice as if sharing a secret.“Really? The young one?” Alice raised an eyebrow, setting down her cup of tea.“I’m surprised he even let her go…”“Looks like his new wife has quite a bit of influence over him.” Alice smirked.By now, everyone had heard about what Leonard had done that night and how Mrs. Crusher had been completely “enchanted” by his shameless flattery.Alice saw an opportunity. Her youngest daughter was the same age as Naomi, went to the same school, and would be at the party too. Why not chaperone? She could get a good look at the gold di

"Thanks for coming with me, Deanna! I had the best time!""Yeah, sweetie… I’m glad." But her smile barely showed.Naomi frowned. "Are you okay?""Of course," Deanna said quickly. "Just a little tired… Your dad is probably waiting up for us."And he was. Daniel had stayed awake, waiting for them to get home. Naomi walked in, glowing with excitement, rushed to greet him with a kiss, and headed straight to bed. But Deanna… something was off.Daniel’s eyes locked on her. "What’s wrong?""Nothing. Let’s just go to sleep."But the night didn’t change a thing. During breakfast, while Naomi talked non-stop abou

Leonard couldn’t get her out of his head. He kept thinking about that sweet young woman who knew so much about music—the same music he loved. He envied Crusher’s luck. A woman with all those qualities was like finding a needle in a haystack.No matter what rumors were going around, that woman was no opportunist. She had her own sense of life and an appreciation for simple things.He had one of the university professors send him the videos from Deanna’s entrance auditions. He didn’t know her last name, only that she was Harry Crusher’s classmate, and he got them. He spent two hours going through them until he found her.The moment he heard her, he knew she had too much talent to spend her life behind Daniel.

At exactly 9 o’clock, Daniel stood in front of room 706. This was unusual.He had his doubts about it—he knew what she was up to, and although he was more than excited by the idea, this wouldn’t solve their problems.He knocked, and when he didn’t get a response, he used his own key to enter.The room was warm and dimly lit, as if no one were there.Deanna stepped out from the adjoining room, and Daniel stopped breathing for a moment.She was wearing a long white satin nightgown with a slit running from her hip down to her feet and a neckline that left little to the imagination. She was barefoot, her hair loose, but her face looked different.She was still angry—her

Laura was already in her seventh month, though to everyone else, it was the sixth. Every day, she felt heavier, more irritable, and Harry wasn’t making things any easier. He was still lost in his own world, the one where Deanna existed. He was attentive to Laura—when he wasn’t avoiding reality. They had even set up the baby’s room together. But those moments never lasted.She saw no way out of her situation. She kept thinking about Alice Reed and what her own life had turned into, afraid she would end up just like Leonard’s wife. She was reaching her limit.“You were right, Beverly. I go to his office to take him out for lunch, and he always has an excuse.” Laura rubbed her belly, feeling the weight of exhaustion settle deeper. “Deanna showed up, and he ran after her like a damn torpedo.”

The day was rainy, damp, and a bit chilly. Deanna was returning from picking up the children from school when she received a message on her phone:Laura: "Hi Deanna, how are you? We haven’t talked in days; come over to the apartment for a coffee."Deanna: "Laura! I’d love to, but Daniel is out of town and I’m alone with the kids. Why don’t you come over to the house?"Deanna’s tone was warm yet tinged with regret. Despite the rain, Laura set off. She arrived pale, her face etched with sorrow and struggling to walk. Deanna hurried to greet her.While the children busied themselves with their own activities, they sat down for tea in the kitchen. Truly, Laura’s belly had grown considerably in such a short time—a sig

That's where the photograph came from. They had coffee, but ended up arguing again; Harry was evasive and it annoyed Deanna that he wouldn't be direct. Finally, all she had gotten were mere excuses, incomplete phrases, and sidelong glances from Harry. That's why her face was red and he looked gloomy.Daniel and Beverly got off at their floor."I'm sorry I showed you that..." she said hesitantly."Why did you do it then?" he asked, his voice tense."I'll be straight with you: Deanna is a sweet and considerate person, but she's going to end up ruining you," Beverly stated firmly."Excuse me?" Daniel's eyes widened in disbelief."Yes, I know.

A Wife For My Brother Children teach us that love is something that is learned, not something we are born knowing.
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 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

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

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

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

“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. If it hadn't been for him, Harry would have
