~Nathaniel

The water cascaded over my skin as I stood in the shower, letting the warmth wash away the remnants of sleep. But today, it wasn’t just another morning. Today, I felt a joy I couldn’t describe. A deep, overwhelming happiness that wrapped itself around my chest and refused to let go.

Lily was mine. My daughter.

I tilted my head back, letting the water stream over my face. “Thank you, God,” I muttered, the words echoing in the tiled space. “Thank you for bringing them into my life. Sophia and Lily. I don’t know what I did to deserve them, but I’m grateful.”

I couldn’t help but smile. What were the odds? Of all the women I could have married, I ended up with Sophia—a woman tied to my past in ways I never expected. It felt like fate, like the universe had been waiting for this moment to bring us together.

“Such a small world,” I said to myself, running a hand through my hair.

Now that I knew the truth, there was no time to waste. The years I’d missed with Lily couldn’

  • Accidentally Married to my Ex-Boyfriend’s Father    Chapter 47

    ~NathanielI clenched my fists at my sides, the words catching in my throat. She was playing a game—she always played games—but I wasn’t the same man she used to manipulate. Still, seeing her here in my home, addressing me as if nothing had happened, had me completely off balance. "I’ll ask you again," I said, my voice low and sharp this time. "What are you doing here?" I stood there, my feet planted firmly on the hardwood floor, watching Isabella’s lips curl into a smile that had once made my world spin. Now, it felt like a dagger piercing the calm I had finally built in my life. "What are you doing in my house, Isabella?" I asked again, my voice sharper this time. She didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she stood, staring at me with an unreadable expression, the silence stretching until it became unbearable. Then, with a slow, deliberate turn, she headed for the door. I frowned, following her movement as she opened it and gestured outside. Moments later, a man in a black s

    ~NathanielThe morning sunlight streamed into the dining room, highlighting the polished surface of the table set for breakfast. Sophia sat to my right, Lily to my left, her small legs swinging back and forth as the maids moved swiftly, placing dishes of food before us. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, warm pastries, and sizzling bacon filled the air. Lily clapped her hands in excitement as her plate was set down. “Pancakes!” she squealed, her smile lighting up the room. I chuckled, watching her dig in. “Do you like them, princess?” I asked, cutting into my own stack of pancakes. “I love them!” she said between bites. “Uncle Nate, can we have these every day?” I grinned. “If that’s what you want, consider it done. What about the clothes I got for you yesterday? Did you like those too?” Her eyes lit up, syrup dripping from her fork. “Yes! Especially the sparkly shoes. I felt like a princess!” I laughed, feeling a sense of pride swell in my chest. “Well, you are a princes

    ~SophiaThe phone rested between my shoulder and ear as I paced the living room, trying to organize the mess of toys Lily had scattered everywhere. Martha’s voice crackled on the other end. "So, how are you feeling about it? I mean... Nathaniel’s ex-wife is back. That’s a lot to deal with," Martha asked, her voice laced with curiosity and concern. I rolled my eyes, placing one of Lily’s stuffed bears on the shelf. "I’m unbothered, honestly. I know why she’s here, Martha. It’s obvious she’s here to fight me, but she’s wasting her time." "You think so?" Martha’s skepticism was evident. "I thought they said she went missing years ago?" I sighed, picking up another stuffed animal from the floor. "That’s the story they told everyone, but Nathaniel told me the truth. She left on her own, Martha. She just walked out on him—no warning, no explanation. It was never his fault. And now she’s back, probably because she found out that I’m married to Nathaniel now. And you know the craziest

    ~ Sophia I drove like a madwoman, my eyes glued to the road, heart pounding in my chest, and my hands gripping the steering wheel with a death grip. The sound of the engine roaring as I sped down the highway matched the frantic thumping of my pulse. Ethan's birthday gifts were stacked precariously in the back seat, swaying with every sharp turn and swerve I made. The cake, that perfectly frosted masterpiece, wobbled dangerously close to the edge, threatening to plunge onto the floor at any moment.I glanced in the rearview mirror and saw the cake tilting, dangerously close to disaster. Without thinking, I reached back with one hand, my fingers barely brushing the edge of the cake box, trying to pull it closer to the seat. My focus wavered, eyes flicking between the road and the back seat, anxiety bubbling in my chest. That was when it happened.I heard the screeching of tires, the high-pitched squeal that sent my stomach plummeting. The jarring impact followed immediately, throwing

    ~SophiaMy heart was in pieces, shattered beyond repair, as I stumbled out of Ethan's apartment. Every step felt heavier than the last, and my body moved on autopilot, numb and disconnected from my racing mind. I didn't even realize I was trembling until my hands struggled to fit the key into the ignition of my car.With a shaky breath, I turned the key, and the engine roared to life. As I drove through the city, the lights and sounds blurred together, creating a dizzying kaleidoscope of colors that matched the chaos swirling inside me. I didn’t know where I was going, but that didn’t matter. All I knew was that I had to get away.Away from the pain. Away from the betrayal that suffocated me, threatening to pull me under.The streets stretched on endlessly, and somewhere in the distance, a neon sign flashed in the night—a club. Without thinking, I swerved into the parking lot, tires screeching against the pavement. I had no plan, no intention other than to drown myself in noise and fo

    ~ SophiaI woke up to the familiar sound of my phone buzzing on the nightstand. Stretching lazily, I felt surprisingly well-rested despite the emotional chaos of the previous night. Groggily, I grabbed the phone, not expecting to hear my sister’s voice so early."Hey, Sophia! Guess what?" Martha's excited voice burst through the line, "Alex and I are going to the Maldives tomorrow! We're taking his private jet, and we want you to come with us. It’s going to be amazing—what do you say?"My eyes widened as the words sank in. "The Maldives? Are you serious? I’ve always wanted to go there!" My voice rose in excitement. "Of course I’m in!"The moment I hung up the phone, a rush of excitement flooded my body. The Maldives—the dream destination with its pristine white-sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and luxurious overwater villas—was finally within my grasp. I could hardly believe it.I shot out of bed and made a beeline for my closet, grabbing my suitcase in a frenzy. Dresses,

    ~NathanielThe wine tasting event was in full swing, the room buzzing with laughter and conversation. Glasses clinked as people swirled, sniffed, and savored the various wines on offer. The air was thick with the rich scents of oak, berries, and aged grapes, each sip offering a different layer of complexity. The atmosphere was alive with energy, as guests mingled, comparing notes on the subtle differences between the reds and whites.Among all the excitement, my attention kept drifting to Sophia. She was effortlessly captivating, her movements graceful and poised. Every time she lifted her glass to her lips, there was a delicate elegance in the way she savored the wine, her expression shifting as she contemplated the flavors. I found myself lost, watching her with an intensity I hadn’t felt in a long time.At one point, she caught me staring. A blush crept across her cheeks, a soft shade of pink that only made her more irresistible. She offered a shy smile before quickly diverting her

    ~ Sophia A few days had passed since our impulsive wedding, and we were both still basking in the glow of our new status as a married couple. As we prepared to leave the Maldives, the resort staff gathered around us, their smiles wide and their eyes twinkling."Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. James ," one of the staff said warmly, her voice filled with genuine happiness. "May your love and happiness shine as bright as the sun and be as clear as the waters of the Maldives."We both responded in unison, "Thank you," our voices mingling in harmony.Martha and Alex approached us, their arms full of luggage and their faces beaming with joy."Well, look at you two lovebirds," Martha said, her eyes dancing with mischief. "A spontaneous Maldives wedding, who would've thought?"She pulled me aside, lowering her voice to a whisper. "So, what’s next for you two crazy kids? What's the big plan now?"I couldn’t help but laugh, feeling a blush rise in my cheeks. "Who knows?" I replied, my voice li

    ~Nathaniel “What are you talking about? What lies?” Sophia’s voice was tinged with confusion, her brow furrowed as she sat up straighter in bed, looking at me like I’d lost my mind. I blinked, realizing what I’d just blurted out. Damn it, Nathaniel. Get a grip. This wasn’t how I wanted her to find out the truth. Not like this. “I…” I trailed off, running a hand through my hair as I tried to compose myself. “I was just lost in thought.” “About what?” she asked, crossing her arms. Her gaze was sharp, skeptical. She wasn’t letting me off the hook that easily. “My PA,” I said quickly, grasping at the first excuse that came to mind. “Jeremy. He lies so much, it drives me insane sometimes.” Sophia’s expression softened slightly, though her confusion remained. “Jeremy? What’s he lying about?” “Everything,” I said with a forced chuckle, trying to shift the mood. “You could ask him what he had for breakfast, and he’d probably tell you he skipped it—even though he’s hiding a donut

    ~Nathaniel I closed the door to my study and grabbed my phone, scrolling to Dr. Harris’s number. The moment he picked up, his warm yet professional tone greeted me. “Mr. James, good evening. How can I help you?” “Good evening, Dr. Harris,” I said, pacing the room. “I just wanted to check if you received the sample my assistant dropped off earlier today.” “Yes, I did,” he replied. “We’re already working on the DNA test. The results should be ready in a few days.” I exhaled, gripping the back of the chair. “Thank you, Harris. I appreciate it.” “It’s no problem. But Nathaniel… are you sure you want to do this? From the way you’ve described things, you already seem convinced.” I hesitated, then nodded as if he could see me. “I need it to be official. For her sake. For mine.” He sighed. “Fair enough. I’ll let you know as soon as we have the results.” “Thanks again.” The call ended, and I set my phone down on the desk. My shoulders felt heavy, but it wasn’t because I doubt

    ~SophiaTwo days had passed since we returned home, and life was slowly slipping back into routine. I stood by my car, running a hand over the hood. Nathaniel had insisted on fixing it after Ethan’s little stunt, and now it looked good as new. “Good as new,” I muttered to myself, though the memory of that red spray paint still lingered. I sighed, shaking my head. Well, maybe I deserved it. I did the same to his car. The thought brought a smirk to my lips. Ethan had it coming. He was the one who started this ridiculous war when he hired someone to sabotage my marriage with Nathaniel. How did he even know I was behind it? I frowned. Maybe one of the maids finally cracked and spilled the truth. Or maybe someone saw me that day. My gaze drifted across the parking lot to where Ethan’s car was parked. It looked brand new too, every scratch and dent gone. “Oh, so the bastard used his entire savings to fix it,” I muttered under my breath. “Good for him.” Just as I reached for my c

    ~SophiaIt was a bright morning, the kind where the sun seemed to be mocking my pounding headache. I rubbed my temples, trying to shake off the fog in my head. The last thing I remembered from last night was Alex and Martha deciding to dance to celebrate their engagement. After that, everything was a blur. I glanced at Nathaniel, who was busy arranging our luggage. He looked calm, focused, but there was something in his eyes—a spark I couldn’t quite place. "Everything set?" he asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Yeah, just need to say goodbye to everyone." We walked out to the living room, where Alex and Martha were waiting with Lily. My heart tightened at the thought of leaving. This past month had been... incredible. It wasn’t just the beautiful sights of Canada or the activities we’d enjoyed; it was the warmth of this home, the laughter, the love. Martha pulled me into a tight hug. "I’m going to miss you, Sophia. You’ve been such a blessing to have here." I smiled,

  • Accidentally Married to my Ex-Boyfriend’s Father    Chapter 41

    ~NathanielThe moon was full, casting its silver light over the sprawling mansion. I stood on the balcony, staring into the night. It was our last evening in Canada, and while I should have been packing or reminiscing about our incredible vacation, my mind was a chaotic mess. This month had been one for the books. From hiking in the Rockies with Alex's terrible jokes keeping us entertained to canoeing on tranquil lakes and bonding with Lily over her fascination with wildlife, every moment was memorable. Alex and Martha had been the perfect hosts, their hospitality making our stay unforgettable. Yet, ever since I’d pieced together Martha’s connection to my past, I’d been restless around her. I couldn’t shake the vivid memories of those nights years ago. She used to dance for me at the club, her movements hypnotic, before one thing led to another, and we had sex. It was reckless and intense, and now, here she was, engaged to Alex.And Lily... she had changed me. Her laughter, her c
