(Thomas)

The steady hum of the city traffic felt distant as the car stopped in front of the building where George’s office was located. Lydia and I got out and were immediately flanked by the bodyguards, which included Roger and Gerard. After everything we’ve been through, I trusted only a few people and they were in that list.

It was our second visit this week, and the weight of the situation sat heavily on my chest. Nathan’s threats had started to escalate, but the discovery of his connection to a drug case was what really pushed us to take further action. And now, George had called us in again, saying there was more.

I glanced at Lydia beside me. She looked calm on the outside, but I could see the tension in her posture, the way her shoulders were slightly hunched, her fingers nervously adjusting the strap of her purse. This was starting to take its toll on both of us, but she wouldn’t admit it, not yet. I reached over and squeezed her hand, offering a quiet reassurance that we we

    (Lydia)The phone buzzed in my hand, vibrating against my palm as I stared down at Jenna Clairefield’s name lighting up the screen. My fingers hovered over the accept button, heart pounding in my chest. After everything we’d discovered, I was still wrapping my head around the fact that Jenna had reached out to George with this sensitive information.I didn’t think she would have that much information, which made me realize that I might have not known the full story behind what happened between them.I took a breath and tapped the green icon.“Hello, Jenna,” I said, my voice even though nerves coiled in my stomach.“Lydia, I wanted to let you know, I’ll be landing in Denver shortly,” Jenna’s voice came through, clear but heavy. “George has arranged for me to meet with him and the lawyers. But before I do, I’d like to speak with you. We didn’t get to do that last time.”I exchanged a glance with Thomas, who had been quietly listening beside me. He gave me a small nod, his expression unr

    (Thomas)The USB sat on the table between us like a loaded gun, its small, unassuming form hiding the weight of everything it represented. Lydia stood across from me, her arms crossed, eyes fixed on it, as if by sheer will alone, she could speed up time and get us to the end of this nightmare. I wanted that too, more than anything.But I also knew the fight wasn’t over.George, standing near the window, glanced at his watch before looking back at us. He’d been the most level-headed out of all of us, the one who knew how to navigate the web of legal maneuvers Nathan’s team would throw at us. Even still, I could tell he was on edge, just like we were.“This is it,” I said, my voice sounding calm, though my pulse raced beneath the surface, “We’ve done everything we can. Collected all the information we could. Now it’s in their hands.”Lydia nodded but didn’t say anything. Her gaze didn’t waver from the USB, as if seeing it there, ready to be handed over, made this all feel real for the f

    (Lydia)The house was quiet, too quiet for my liking. I sat on the edge of the couch, staring at my phone, scrolling through news, expecting any minute for the world to explode. But it hadn’t. Not yet, anyway. The silence felt like a ticking bomb.Nathan’s name was plastered across the headlines, but not for what we had set in motion. Not yet. The charges Thomas and I were filing against him had yet to break in the news. Our legal team had been very careful to make sure everything was airtight before we made a move. I understood the need for caution, but the waiting was unbearable. Every day felt like a battle between anticipation and dread.I glanced over at Thomas, who was standing by the window, his hands in his pockets, staring out at the front garden but not really seeing anything. I knew he felt the same way. We’d been holding our breath for so long, I wasn’t sure we’d remember how to exhale when this was over.“When do you think it’ll break?” I asked, my voice sounding small in

    (Thomas)The courtroom lights felt blinding as we walked in, the buzz of cameras flashing just outside the doors still echoing in my ears. Lydia’s hand was in mine, her grip tight, and I could feel the tension in every muscle of her body. I squeezed her hand gently, hoping to give her some comfort, though I knew I was in no better shape. The media frenzy outside had been relentless, even before Nathan’s formal charges were announced. And now, it was like being thrown into a lion’s den.Things had moved swiftly after all the evidence was with the law. And with the connections I had, the trial became the top priority for everyone.Nathan was finally where he belonged, in the defendant’s chair, formally charged with crimes I had spent months believing I’d never see him held accountable for. But as much as this trial should have been about his guilt, it had become something else. It had become a spectacle, a theater for the public to feast on.I felt the weight of a hundred eyes on us as

    (Lydia)The courtroom was tense, a palpable weight hanging in the air as I sat in the witness stand, surrounded by the bright lights and cameras flashing like stars in an endless night. I could feel Nathan’s gaze on me, cold and piercing, like a knife cutting through the heavy atmosphere. He was seated just a few feet away, and every time I glanced in his direction, my stomach twisted in knots. I had to remind myself that I was stronger than him, that I was here for a reason.The judge called the court to order, and I took a deep breath, forcing my thoughts to settle. I wasn’t just fighting for myself; I was fighting for all the women he had hurt, for the truth that needed to be revealed. I couldn’t let fear control me, especially not now.“Ms. Lydia,” the prosecutor began, his voice steady and clear, “can you tell us about your relationship with Mr. Nathan Andrews?”I hesitated for a moment, the memories flooding back. It felt like stepping into a dark room filled with shadows, but

    (Lydia)The sound of laughter filled the mansion as Mabel and Miles dashed through the living room, their giggles echoing off the walls like music. The chaos of the trial seemed distant for the moment, and I took a deep breath, trying to soak in the warmth of this family time. It was a precious break from the storm that had engulfed our lives. Thomas sat on the couch, his head tilted back, eyes closed, a soft smile on his lips as he watched our children play.“Hey, you two!” I called out, my voice breaking through their exuberance. “Let’s not turn the living room into a race track, okay?”Miles skidded to a stop and looked at me with wide eyes. “But, Mommy, we’re just practicing for the Olympics!” he protested, a cheeky grin stretching across his face.“Yeah, Mommy! Just a little bit of practice!” Mabel chimed in, her tiny hands on her hips, mimicking Thomas’s stance from earlier when he was reading them the rules of the game they were playing.I laughed, my heart swelling with love

    (Lydia)I met Ruby at the front of the hospital and couldn’t help but give her a long and hard hug. It had been quite some time since I had seen her.Time slipped through my fingers because I had been distracted by the trial that was still going on. The investigation had turned another direction entirely because of the drug case. They were grilling Nathan about what he knew.One thing that bothered me though was that Nathan was able to get out from behind bars through some sort of connection. He was on house arrest, however, it still bothered that he could manipulate terms like this.I took a deep breath and pulled out all thoughts of Nathan, replacing them with Ruby and finally meeting her again.“I missed you, you know?” I murmured.“I missed you too,” Ruby said, taking in a deep breath.“I missed my girls together as well,” Mama joined the hug as we all burst into laughter.“Let’s catch up after the appointment, okay? I want to know what you’ve been up to,” I told Ruby as the three

    (Lydia)The bright afternoon sun was now slipping behind the horizon as I stood near the car, trying to shake off the unease that had settled over me since I couldn’t reach the driver. I took a deep breath, willing myself to remain calm as I turned back toward the hospital entrance. Ruby would be waiting, probably worried. I was just about to call her when I felt it, a sudden rush of movement from behind me.Before I could react, a rough cloth was pressed against my mouth, and a strong arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me backward. I struggled, instinctively kicking out and clawing at the hands that held me. Panic surged through my veins, but the cloth was soaked with something that made my limbs heavy and my vision blur. My heart raced as I fought to scream, but my voice was muffled. Just when I thought I might break free, everything faded to black.When I finally came to my senses, disorientation wrapped around me like a heavy blanket. My head throbbed, and I blinked against the

    (Lydia)The reception was everything I had dreamed of and more. The air was filled with the sound of laughter, music, and the clinking of glasses. The venue, bathed in the soft glow of fairy lights, felt magical, as though we were all living in a dream. Thomas and I had just shared our vows, but now the celebration was in full swing, and the joy in the air was palpable.Mabel and Miles were the stars of the evening, as expected. They had barely left the dance floor since the music started, their little feet moving in uncoordinated yet adorable ways. Miles was trying to spin in circles, his arms flailing around as Mabel, ever the perfectionist, tried to keep him in check. They were a sight to behold, so carefree and full of life. Their giggles and shouts of “Look at me!” filled the room, and I couldn’t help but laugh along with them.Thomas was by my side, his hand gently resting on my back as we watched our children steal the show.

    (Thomas)The day had finally arrived. Our wedding day.I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my tie for the fifth time, trying to focus on the simple task instead of the rush of emotions threatening to overwhelm me. I couldn’t stop the memories from creeping in, images of Lydia in a wedding dress years ago, her radiant smile lighting up the room, and the way my heart had soared knowing she was about to become my wife.And then, the accident. The chaos, the pain, the years we spent finding our way back to each other.Today wasn’t just about vows or rings. It was about us. About the journey we had taken, the battles we had fought, and the love that had carried us through it all.A knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts. Jack stepped in, looking sharp in his suit, his usual easygoing expression replaced by something softer.“You doing okay?” he asked, leaning against the doorframe.I nodded, though my reflection betrayed me. “Just...a lot to process.”Jack walked over, clapping

    (Lydia)With only a week left until the wedding, the house felt like a beehive, everyone buzzing with purpose, energy, and, occasionally, a touch of chaos. I stood in the middle of it all, both exhilarated and slightly overwhelmed.Ruby was in the corner of Mama’s room, hunched over her sewing machine, her brow furrowed in concentration. My wedding dress hung on a nearby mannequin, almost complete but still needing those final, intricate touches that only Ruby could master. She was doing this here because if she needed to know any adjustments, I would just be a few rooms away.She was holed up in Mama’s room because she didn’t want Thomas to get a glimpse of the wedding dress, not until the day of the wedding as I walked down the aisle.“Are you sure you don’t need a break?” I asked, holding out a cup of tea for her.Ruby looked up, her eyes tired but determined. “Not until this hem is perfect. You’re going to look stunning, Lydia. Just trust me.”“I do,” I said softly, setting the te

    (Thomas)The moment we pulled up to the venue, I felt a mix of anticipation and pride. The sprawling garden, framed by blooming flowers and soft sunlight, looked like something out of a dream. This was it, the place where Lydia and I would officially start the next chapter of our lives.Mabel and Miles were already buzzing with excitement, craning their necks to get a better look as the car slowed to a stop.“Is that where we’re going to walk with the flowers?” Mabel asked, pointing to the long stone pathway that led to the main garden.“It is,” I said, glancing at Lydia, who was smiling softly.“It’s so pretty!” Miles added, practically bouncing in his seat.Once we were out of the car, the kids ran ahead, their laughter echoing in the crisp air. Lydia and I followed at a slower pace, her hand tucked into mine.“Can you believe it’s almost here?” she asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.I shook my head. “It feels surreal. But seeing this place again...it makes it all feel real.”T

    (Lydia)Sitting at the dining table with Thomas, a notebook in front of me and a pen in hand, I felt an odd mix of excitement and dread. Finalizing the guest list for our wedding should have been a straightforward task, but when Margaret got involved, nothing ever stayed simple for long.I glanced at Thomas, who was scrolling through his phone, cross-checking names. He looked calm, but I knew better. We were both bracing ourselves for the inevitable drama.“Are we really going to put up with Margaret’s list of distant cousins and relatives we’ve never met?” I asked, my voice low but pointed.Thomas sighed and set his phone down. “You know how mother is. She thinks a wedding is a chance to show off family connections.”“Well, it’s not her wedding,” I said firmly. “It’s ours, and I want it to feel personal, not like some society gala.”Thomas reached over and squeezed my hand. “I agree with you. But let’s try to handle this delicately. You know how she can get.”Before I could respond,

    (Thomas)The house was alive with energy, and it all revolved around two very determined little people: Mabel and Miles. Ever since we’d told them they were going to be the flower girl and flower boy at the wedding, their excitement had reached a whole new level. They were taking their roles very seriously, perhaps even more seriously than Lydia and I were taking the rest of the wedding planning.This morning, the focus was on their outfits. Lydia and I had arranged for a tailor to come to the house to ensure everything fit perfectly. Mabel was already dressed in a soft pink dress with layers of tulle that made her look like a little princess. She twirled in front of the mirror, her curls bouncing with every spin.“Do you think I need a tiara, Daddy?” she asked, her big brown eyes wide with sincerity.I crouched down to her level, brushing a stray curl from her face. “I think you’re perfect just the way you are, sweetheart. But if you really want a tiara, we can look for one.”Mabel c

    (Lydia)The morning sun streamed through the windows as I parked outside Ruby’s boutique. My heart fluttered with a mix of nerves and excitement. In just two weeks, I would be walking down the aisle to marry Thomas, the man who had stood by me through everything. But today, all I could think about was my first fitting for the wedding dress Ruby had been tirelessly designing.As I stepped into the boutique, the soft chime of the bell announced my arrival. Ruby appeared from the back room, her face lighting up with a smile that instantly put me at ease.“You’re here!” she said, walking over to hug me. “I’ve been waiting for this all week.”“I’ve been counting down the days,” I admitted, hugging her back. “I’m nervous, though. What if the dress doesn’t feel right? What if-”Ruby placed her hands on my shoulders, her expression firm but kind. “Stop right there. This dress is going to be perfect because it’s made for you, by me. Trust me, Lydia.”I took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay. I t

    (Lydia)The sunlight poured down as I stepped out of the car, grocery list in hand. For the first time in what felt like forever, I wasn’t looking over my shoulder or scanning the parking lot for anything suspicious. Ben, my personal bodyguard, walked a few paces behind me, his presence a quiet reassurance. But today, I didn’t feel like I needed him as much as I had in the past.The air felt lighter, and so did I. It was as if the dark cloud that had loomed over my life for so long had finally dissipated. Nathan was gone, Lucien was behind bars, and the world was moving on. So was I.Inside the grocery store, I grabbed a cart and started down the aisles. It felt good to do something as ordinary as picking out apples and comparing cereal brands. For so long, I’d avoided public places, afraid of the whispers and stares. But today, there were none. People walked past me, absorbed in their own lives, and it was blissfully normal.I paused by the bakery section, tempted by the scent of fre

    (Lydia)The sleek glass doors of the event management company slid open, and Thomas and I stepped inside. The lobby was stunning, a perfect balance of elegance and modernity. Polished marble floors gleamed under the soft glow of chandelier lights, and a gentle floral scent wafted through the air. A cheerful receptionist greeted us, offering sparkling water while we waited for our meeting.Thomas leaned toward me, his hand resting lightly on the small of my back. “This place screams ‘perfect wedding,’ doesn’t it?”I smiled, squeezing his arm. “Let’s see if they can live up to the hype.”It was Margaret who had given us the name of this event management company after making her calls and asking around for suggestions. And as far as I could tell, the place looked like the sort of company I would have chosen for myself.Moments later, a tall, impeccably dressed man approached us with a wide smile. His tailored navy suit and silk pocket square spoke volumes about his attention to detail.
