Deanna stood up and took a few steps back. She was wearing an empire-waist dress, burgundy with gold details. Her hair was styled in an updo reminiscent of the era, adorned with a delicate headpiece that looked like a small tiara.
Six months had passed since she had started working with Sacha Feni, and that night was her debut. She was in Rome, waiting for the curtain to rise. The Teatro dell’Opera had been chosen to present the new gem of the operatic world. The theater was packed; every seat had been sold. Leonard had spared no expense in promoting her, and with Feni’s name attached, expectations were high.
"You look beautiful, Deanna!"
"Thank you, Ethan… I’m so nervous!"

"What a beautiful drawing, little grasshopper. Your drawings get better every day. Do you think you’ll become an artist?"Jonathan grinned from ear to ear. Every time they talked, he would proudly show her all his "masterpieces.""You know, I need to practice a little… Will you keep me company? We always talked about how one day you'd be my practice partner, but you still haven’t accepted my offer, hmm?"Nothing made him happier than hearing her sing. She always sent them recordings of her performances, and he waited for them with so much excitement. They communicated through music—it had always been their shared language, the unspoken emotions carried through notes and melodies. And when she sang just for him, he could feel their connection more

For Leonard, it was more than evident that Deanna would remain in the lives of those three children forever. She would have to deal with Daniel, even if she avoided him as much as possible; she would have to deal with all of them. Her life was on stage, up there she was an incandescent star who gave everything for the pure love of music, but her heart continued beating for that idiot and his children.He was in his office that morning, in two days the play would premiere, and everyone, absolutely everyone, the most respected members would attend. From the mayor, the police chief, several powerful businessmen, the ladies of the moment; all that wealthy zoo. Everyone who believed Deanna was his lover.And of course, the three Crusher children. Camila definitely not, Harry and Laura neither, but Charles and Susan would surely be there. Daniel

Naomi paced back and forth from the door to the window, anxious. Ethan had sat down with Jonathan, and they were getting dizzy just watching her. Daniel pretended to read some papers, peering over his glasses at the girl, clearly nervous. Beverly stood on the stairs with her arms crossed, wearing an expression of pure displeasure."Naomi, enough already... for God's sake," Ethan said."When is she going to get here?""She'll be here soon. Why are you so anxious? It's just a dress...""You don't understand anything..."Ethan rolled his eyes. He wasn't excited about shopping in the least; he just wanted to go out with Deanna and spend the day together. The little one watched her go back and f

She felt cornered. Why was he suddenly threatening her like that? Everything they had done, they had done for the same purpose. What had changed? But Leonard was right—if she revealed to Daniel how things had actually happened, she would lose him forever."Why are you doing this now?""Because I need to know what happened, in full detail… Everything… and you're going to tell me, baby. Remember, you're gambling with more than just that idiot—think about his career, your ambitions…""You're a bastard…""I know, I know… You just have to tell me what I want, and you can leave in peace. I have my reasons, and I’m not going to explain them to you… You'll understand…"

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

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
