(Thomas)

Just as Lydia and I slipped through the doorway, a flashlight beam cut across our path, blinding us for a second. My pulse quickened, my instincts screaming that this wasn’t over. Figures emerged from the shadows, armed men blocking our exit, their eyes cold and unyielding. Then, stepping out from the dim light, his lips curled in a self-satisfied sneer, was Nathan.

“Well, well,” he said, his voice dripping with venomous glee, “Looks like you two are even stupider than I thought.” He crossed his arms, cocking his head to one side as he sized us up. “I expected more from you, Thomas. Especially after all the mess you made trying to come after me.”

His gaze shifted to Lydia, lingering too long, his expression smug and unsettling. “And Lydia,” he sneered, “I would have thought you’d learned your lesson by now. You put up quite the fight, didn’t you?” He chuckled, the sound low and full of menace.

The fury in my veins flared white-hot, but I kept my face impassive. I couldn’t let

    (Thomas)The drive to George’s office felt surreal, like emerging from a storm into calm. Lydia was by my side, finally, and I could feel her presence steady me in ways I hadn’t realized I was missing. I held her hand, our fingers intertwined tightly, as though letting go would make her disappear again. Every time I glanced over, her profile illuminated by the passing streetlights, the reality of her being safe sunk a little deeper, slowly unraveling the knots in my chest that had been tied up for days.We reached George’s office sooner than I expected. Inside, Ruby was already waiting, her face pale with worry, her eyes flickering to the door every few seconds. The moment she saw Lydia, she rushed forward, wrapping her sister in a fierce embrace. Lydia leaned into her, her face softening as she sank into Ruby’s arms. I took a step back, giving them a moment, but I couldn’t tear my gaze away from Lydia.From the set of her shoulders, the dark bruises shadowing her cheek and wrists,

    (Lydia)As I settled into the comforting embrace of the small but cozy bed, exhaustion swept over me like a heavy blanket. I felt the warmth of Thomas’s body beside me on the chair, his steady presence a balm to the chaos that had filled my life just hours before. The doctor had left, and I was grateful for his quick assessment, but more than that, I was grateful for Thomas. Just knowing he was here made me feel like I could breathe again.My mind, however, kept drifting. I wanted to see Mabel and Miles. I wanted to hold them in my arms, to feel their little bodies pressed against mine, to breathe in their familiar scents of crayons and cookies. I knew Thomas had told them I was away at work, and I felt a mix of relief and guilt over that. They didn’t need to be burdened with the truth, not after everything they’d already been through. The idea of them worrying about me made my heart ache, but I was thankful that Thomas had been able to shield them from the harsh realities of what h

    (Lydia)Morning light filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. I blinked awake, the familiar surroundings of my bedroom wrapping around me like a comforting embrace. But as the memories of the past couple of days flooded back, I felt the weight of everything that had happened pressing down on me. I had escaped Nathan’s grasp, but the aftermath lingered like a shadow, a constant reminder of the darkness I had just endured.I sat up slowly, the ache in my muscles reminding me of the tension I had held for far too long. Thomas had been so focused on finding me, and now that I was safe, I felt a mix of relief and uncertainty. What would come next?I could hear the muffled laughter of Mabel and Miles from the kitchen, their joyous voices a melody I had missed so dearly. A smile tugged at my lips, and I rose from the bed. The air felt lighter, almost buoyant, as I stepped into the hallway.As I made my way downstairs, I found Thomas in the kitchen, flipping p

    (Thomas)The news broke like a storm across every screen, radio, and social media platform. I could hardly believe it myself as I sat in my office, the glow of my laptop illuminating the dread that hung heavy in the air. Nathan’s arrest had been announced, but it was the details that sent shockwaves through me. The media had caught wind of everything, the kidnapping, the assault, and the lives he had taken. It felt surreal, the kind of thing you read in thrillers or see in movies, not something that happened in real life, not to my family.I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself against the wave of emotions crashing over me. I had fought so hard to keep Lydia safe, to protect her from the consequences of Nathan’s wrath. Yet here we were, thrust into the spotlight again, and I couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt. It was the same feeling that had gnawed at me since the moment Nathan threatened her, since the moment I had let my guard down, thinking we were out of reach.As I

    (Lydia)I sat in the living room, the walls still adorned with familiar family photos. It was a safe haven, a stark contrast to the hell I had endured. Yet, even surrounded by all this love, a heavy weight settled in my chest, threatening to crush me. I should have felt relieved, grateful to be home after everything, but there was a gnawing feeling in my gut that wouldn’t let me rest.When Thomas walked in, his expression was drawn, shadows lingering under his eyes. He’d been so focused on keeping me safe, so determined to shield me from the worst of it. But in doing so, I sensed he was hiding something, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was something significant.“Thomas,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady, “Can we talk?”He nodded, but the way he hesitated at the threshold made my heart race. I could feel the tension coiling between us, and I wasn’t sure if I was prepared for what he might say. But I needed to know, to understand what had happened while I was gone.“Is

    (Ruby)Sitting on the plush carpet of the living room, surrounded by the vibrant colors of the kids’ toys, I felt a bittersweet pang in my heart. Mabel and Miles, with their bright eyes and innocent laughter, had taken over my thoughts since the day Lydia returned home. I loved being here with them, but it was clear that my time in the mansion was coming to an end.“Ruby, will you leave?” Mabel asked, her small hands clutching a stuffed bunny tightly to her chest. Her big brown eyes were wide with worry, and I felt my heart ache at the sight of her.“I have to, sweetie,” I replied gently, brushing a loose strand of hair behind my ear, “I need to focus on my boutique and figure some things out for myself.”“But we want you to stay,” Miles chimed in, his lower lip poking out in a small pout. He was always the more emotional of the two, and seeing him upset made it even harder to explain, “Remember when you lived with us? It was so much fun!”“Yeah, we used to play dress-up and bake cook

    (Jack)The morning light spilled through the office windows as I walked into the building, the familiar smell of coffee and polished wood greeting me like an old friend. Yet, today, it felt more like an echo of the chaos that had unfolded over the past few weeks. My thoughts immediately drifted to Ruby, her laughter still resonating in my ears from yesterday. I couldn’t shake the feeling of regret, how I had let things slip away between us. Every time I closed my eyes, I could see her smile and the way her eyes sparkled with mischief, a stark contrast to the somber atmosphere that had surrounded us recently.As I moved through the hallway, my mind was racing with a blend of emotions, anger, sadness, and a yearning to reconnect with Ruby. But I knew I had to focus. Nathan was behind bars, and there was still a lot to clean up in the aftermath of his chaos.

    (Lydia)The pounding on the gates started just as the afternoon sun dipped behind the hills. At first, it was just faint shouting. Angry voices echoing off the iron fences. I brushed it off, focusing on folding the kids’ laundry in the living room while they colored in their favorite books nearby. But the shouting didn’t stop. Instead, it grew louder, angrier, like a storm brewing just outside our walls.“Mabel, Miles,” I called softly, trying to keep my voice steady. “Why don’t we go into the playroom? I have a new game we can try.” I kept my voice light and cheerful, but they could sense the tension, Mabel’s wide-eyed gaze meeting mine with that uncanny, perceptive look only a child can have.I led them down the hallway and closed the playroom door. As the voices outside grew louder, I forced myself to keep smiling, crouching down so I could look at both of them at their eye level.“Listen, kids, there are some people outside who are just being silly,” I said, feeling my heart twist

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.

    (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.
