The next day...

Emeraude watched as Cassian finished packing his bags for the trip, her heart tight with worry evident on her face.

"Are you sure you don't want me to take you?" She asked for the third time, her eyes searching his for a reassuring answer.

"I'm sure," he affirmed with a calm smile. "I'll be with Liam, you can relax."

"I still wish you would stay here," Emeraude pouted involuntarily, expressing her desire to have him close.

"I wish I could too, but I can't," Cassian said, closing the suitcase with determination. "I'll be with the girls."

After Cassian left the room, Emeraude got up and headed to the bathroom, going through her morning routine before returning to the room and putting her hair up in a bun. Despite having slept little, insomnia still haunted her. She made the bed automatically before heading to the kitchen. Passing by the room where Amora and Aurora were, she heard their voices engaged in lively conversation with Cassian. A fond smile curved her lips befor

    In the last few days in London, Emeraude enjoyed wonderful moments with the girls, exploring the city's landmarks. With each passing day, she was amazed by the girls' abilities and, at the same time, felt a twinge of sadness as she realized they didn't need her help as much as before. Yesterday, when she tried to help Aurora with lunch, the girl refused her assistance and ate alone, albeit making a mess. Amora already wanted to dress herself, which, while good, left Emeraude feeling a little melancholic - her daughters were growing up.Sitting on the plane while the two slept peacefully, Emeraude realized that her daughters were growing up quickly. Soon they would be doing things for themselves, entering adolescence, starting to have crushes. She placed her hand on her belly and wished she were pregnant again. Her previous life no longer satisfied her; she had fallen in love with motherhood, and now, with her daughters growing up, she felt that phase was coming to an end. The flight a

    A few days later...Emeraude sighed as she looked at her phone screen, knowing her friend Bree wasn't feeling very inclined to help her. "I know you're on vacation, I'm sorry," she murmured for the thousandth time. "But I need your help.""Fine, Emeraude," Bree responded irritably, leaving Emeraude feeling guilty. "Forget it, Bree, you can stay there, I'll see if Charlotte can help me," Emeraude said, sighing."Sorry, friend, I think it's PMS," explained Bree. "I'll come tomorrow.""No need, I'll figure something out here," replied Emeraude, getting up and going to see who was at the door."I'm not going to miss organizing my goddaughters' party," said Bree, making Emeraude smile."Thank you," Emeraude thanked before opening the door and greeting one of the saleswomen. "I have to hang up now.""Take care," bid the saleswoman, and Emeraude murmured a "you too" before hanging up."Come in," invited Emeraude, smiling."Sorry, Emeraude, but there's a man in the store who wants to talk to

    The next day, Cassian found himself involved in the preparations for the girls' party. Emeraude, Bree, and their mother were sitting on the floor of the living room, busy with organizing the party favors. Although Cassian had suggested leaving it to the organizing team, his mother insisted on participating.Noticing that the house was strangely quiet, Cassian asked, "Where are the girls?""They went out with your father," his mother replied. "Come help here."Cassian made an apologetic expression. "Sorry, I have a game to watch now."Emeraude, busy with the packaging, intervened, "Right here. If you help, we'll finish quickly."Cassian grabbed his phone and sent a message to Liam, his friend, asking if he was on his way. The response was negative, so Cassian sent a photo of the room and said he would be at Liam's house soon."I'd love to help, but I just received a message and need to sort some things out," Cassian explained, getting up."Are you going to watch at Liam's house?"

    Upon waking, Cassian was interrupted by the insistent sound of someone knocking on the door. With slight difficulty, he rose from the bed and made his way to the door, where he was greeted by his mother's inquisitive voice."Cassian, where are your clothes?" his mother inquired, observing him only in his underwear."I'm just in my underwear," he replied, shrugging."Has your sister Emeraude already woken up?" she continued, her gaze shifting to Emeraude's serene figure in bed."No," Cassian replied."I want you two downstairs in fifteen minutes. We have a lot to do today," she smiled before leaving. Cassian closed the door and headed to the bathroom, but not before taking a brief pause to relieve himself.After washing his hands, he returned to bed with the intention of going back to sleep. Emeraude, still with her eyes closed, broke the silence."Your mother said 15 minutes," she murmured."Were you awake?" he asked, surprised."It's impossible not to wake up when you push me to the

    Emeraude woke up with a heavy feeling in her body, rising from bed cautiously so as not to wake the girls sleeping beside her. She remembered telling Cassian that she would spend the night at home with the daughters, and he didn't object. Amora and Aurora insisted on sleeping with her, and Emeraude acquiesced to their request.After attending to her morning hygiene, an uncomfortable pain in her abdomen began to arise, but she ignored it, focusing on the day's activities. She dressed in a simple loose dress, tied her hair into a bun, and headed to the kitchen to organize breakfast for the girls."Good morning, dear," her mother greeted as they worked together to prepare orange juice."Good morning," Emeraude replied with a smile."Was there something between you and Cassian?" her mother asked as they chopped fruits."We had an argument," Emeraude admitted."About what we talked about yesterday," her mother added, and Emeraude sighed."I don't understand him," she confessed.

Spending the afternoon with Amora and Aurora was tiring, but with Amora, Aurora, and Bob, it was triple the exhaustion.A smile escaped his lips as he saw the two girls sleeping peacefully and serenely, giving the impression of being true angels.Suddenly, a knock on the door snapped him out of his thoughts. It was Mrs. Taylor, with a frightened expression and the phone in her hand."Emeraude is in the hospital," Mrs. Taylor announced, agitated.Cassian, not understanding anything, grabbed his wallet, phone, and a shirt, and left the room. He grabbed the car keys and called Bree, who was crying on the phone, giving him the address of the hospital. Arriving there, he parked hastily and entered the building.At the entrance, he spotted Bree and hurried towards her."Where is she? What happened?" Cassian asked, visibly worried."She's

    Cassian hesitated upon entering the room, where Emeraude's mother was trying to console her daughter, who was inconsolably crying. He sat down and bowed his head, resting it in his hands. His heart was shattered, torn apart by the doctor's words about the loss of their much-desired child. He had no more tears left, only the desire to console Emeraude, although he himself did not believe in the words of hope he wanted to convey.Meanwhile, Emeraude cried, unable to contain her tears. Even though the doctor had explained that miscarriage was common, she blamed herself for what had happened. She longed for Cassian's presence, wanting to know how he was and lamenting the loss of their child. While her mother tried to offer words of comfort, Emeraude didn't listen; her desire was to turn back time and accept the child from the beginning, before the arguments, but now only resignation remained.Cassian went to the bathroom, washed his face, and looked at his reflection in the mirror, displa

    As Emeraude threw the bouquet, she turned to face the sea of women before her, somewhat confused about who had actually caught the bouquet."Oh my God!" exclaimed her mother, holding the bouquet. Emeraude observed her, unsure whether to laugh or feel happy."Looks like my mother-in-law is next in line to get married," Cassian joked quietly, laughing. "YEAH WOOHOO!" he shouted, clapping.Emeraude walked over to her mother, who was already composed among the women again. Her smile was so radiant that Emeraude couldn't help but smile too. It was comforting to see her mother happy; she knew how much she missed her father and deserved to find happiness again."Congratulations!" Emeraude hugged her mother, who returned the gesture warmly."I'm still surprised, I think you did this on purpose!" her mother joked, making Emeraude laugh."Of course not, Mom," Emeraude replied, still smiling."She should have thrown it to me, Auntie," commented Bree, smiling.

    Emeraude woke up to her mother's firm voice calling her. Opening her eyes, she sat up in bed, feeling a bit dizzy from the sudden movement. Looking around, she noticed she was alone in bed, with her mother standing at the door, watching her closely."I can't believe you're still sleeping!" her mother scolded, hands on her hips. "You should have been at the salon already, Emeraude.""What time is it?" Emeraude asked, getting up slowly this time."Almost 10 o'clock. You have 30 minutes," the young lady replied, leaving and closing the door behind her.Emeraude took a deep breath and grabbed her phone, feeling tempted to call Cassian, but she knew he would be busy. She headed to the bathroom and soon began to undress to take a shower. As the water cascaded over her, her thoughts wandered to the previous night, when she had a small gathering with the women at her apartment. She had decided not to have a bachelorette party; she was happy with the direction her life was taking now. After fi

    SIX MONTHS LATERCassian was impatient with that meeting that seemed to have no end. Léon kept talking about the projects and profits they were generating, something Cassian already knew very well."I'd prefer to wait a bit and analyze the proposals," he interrupted, trying to end the discussion.Margot smiled proudly. "As always.""Can we wrap this up?" he asked, adjusting himself in his chair.Everyone agreed, and Cassian concluded the meeting. He left the folders for Chloe to organize and left, exchanging some cordial words with those present before heading to the elevator."Who would've thought that boy who used to hit on me will get married tomorrow," Margot commented as they waited for the elevator."You didn't want me, so I found someone else," Cassian joked, receiving a light slap."We're old enough to be your mothers," Margot replied, jokingly."I've heard that many times," Cassian agreed, stepping into the elevator."I'm proud of you; you've become a great man," Margot said,

    Emeraude closed the bathroom door and locked it, hearing Cassian's laughter from the other side. The man's challenge was evident, and it had been three days since the incident with Amora's hair. She sat on the floor and closed her eyes, trying to calm her mind. She couldn't simply give in."Are you going to leave me here with a hard-on?" She heard Cassian's hoarse voice. "He misses you.""Cassian," she replied firmly, grateful for the firm tone of her own voice."My hand doesn't compare to your mouth, kitten, your tongue," he teased."Make the bed, I'm going to take a shower," Emeraude said, heading to the shower.She would be ignorant if she claimed that her body didn't react to every malicious phrase he uttered or when he called or texted whispering. He was indeed undermining her sanity. At night, when it was time to sleep, he made a point of rubbing his erection against her. She was almost moving to the guest room; the temptation was too much.Emeraude just wanted him to admit that

    Emeraude completed her morning routine while Cassian remained in bed, uninterested. Today, Amora wouldn't go to school because Emeraude discovered, upon checking her schedule, that it was suspended for a day."Cassian, you're going to be late," she said, approaching and pulling his covers."I'm not going today," he murmured hoarsely, curling up even more."In that case, you'll stay with Amora. I was going to leave her with Charlotte," explained Emeraude, receiving only a sleepy agreement. "Sara is coming to tidy up here today. Get dressed before leaving the room.""Love you, bye," Cassian bid farewell, covering his head, while Emeraude laughed and shook her head."Love you too," she replied, grabbing her bag and car keys. She headed to Amora's room and found her sleeping, while Aurora was in the kitchen having her breakfast."Are you almost done, sweetheart?" Emeraude asked, pouring some juice into a glass."Yes, Mom," Aurora replied, smiling. "Why can't I stay?""Because you have a r

In Emeraude's store, during a fleeting moment of intimacy, things spiraled out of control.With her back pressed against the wall, Emeraude was taken aback by the urgency of Cassian's kiss."Cassian," Emeraude murmured, trying to contain the growing desire within her. However, her body seemed to have a will of its own.Cassian's hand wrapped around Emeraude's leg, pulling her to him, wrapping her around his waist. A moan escaped Emeraude's lips as she felt Cassian's hardness against her thigh."Please, stop," Emeraude pleaded, trying to pull away, but the desire was overwhelming. Yet, Emeraude's consciousness awakened when she noticed the presence of the security camera in the room."Camera," Emeraude managed to say between moans, as Cassian penetrated her with his fingers and kissed her neck.Confused, Cassian looked around and saw the camera. With determination, he reached for it and destroyed it,
