My dad's gaze was steady and intense as he looked at me, his expression was reflecting the seriousness of his question.

“How far along is Laia?” he repeated, his voice was assertive and clear, leaving no room for confusion.

My heart began to race as I struggled to find the right words. My mind was a blur as I tried to come up with an explanation, but my dad seemed to sense my distress and soften his tone.

“Take your time, son. I understand this might be difficult for you to talk about, but we're here to support you and Laia,” he said, his voice filled with understanding and concern. I could sense the genuine care and concern in his eyes as he waited for me to speak.

I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves and calm the racing of my heart. I knew this was going to be a difficult conversation, but I had to be honest. “She's about two months along,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. The words felt heavy on m

    Sienna's expression contorted in confusion and shock as she stared at me. Her voice was filled with a mix of emotions as she spoke, "She told me just recently. Just a few months ago, she contacted me again and told me about your son," she whispered, glancing nervously at Laia who seemed to be unaware of our conversation.I felt a knot form in my stomach as I tried to make sense of what Sienna was saying. "There is no proof of her claim yet. Laia is my wife now," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady."Wait! You're married?!" Sienna exclaimed, her voice rising in surprise.

    I placed my hand over hers and gave it a gentle squeeze, "I can teach you," I said, my voice filled with sincerity. "I want to be the one to show you what it means to be loved, and how it feels to be in love," I added, looking into her eyes intently, trying to convey my true feelings through my gaze.I hesitated for a moment, as I struggled to find the right words to express my feelings, but I knew I had to be honest with her.

    "Laia, wait," I said as I followed her into the bedroom. "What do you mean he killed your mother? Can you please explain?" She let out a sigh as she sat down on the bed, her gaze seemed distant as she spoke. "My mother was a kind and gentle woman, but my father was never satisfied with her. He always wanted more, more money, more power, more prestige. He would constantly belittle and berate her. He also used to get angry that my mother never gave birth to a son. It took a toll on her mental and emotional well-being. Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore and took her own life. I was only six years old at the time." I was filled with a mixture of anger and sadness as I heard her story. "Are you telling me this happened when we were in first grade?" I asked in shock and disbelief. "Yes, it was coincidentally before you suddenly bit me just because I don't want to play with you," she replied as she smiled bitterly, her eyes still distant as she remembered the past. "I'm so sorry, La

    As I leaned into her shoulder, I felt her tense up, her body stiffening in response to my presence. I knew that my words were falling on deaf ears, as I had already missed my chance to make things right. The past was set in stone, and there was nothing I could do to change it. I couldn't take back the hurtful things I had said and done, and I was left to face the consequences of my actions. "I know that you may not trust me right now. I'm not asking for forgiveness or for you to believe me. I just want to express my sincerest apologies for hurting you in the past," I said, my voice filled with remorse as I met her gaze, trying to convey the depth of my regret. "I don't know if it still matters now, but back then, I didn't hate you. I have been just sad because I thought of you as my only friend. And I already knew it was you who wrote the letter I showed you. Your handwriting is quite unique, it would have been hard for you to deny it," she said, smiling at me as she climbed into bed

    After Carlo and Sienna's exquisite wedding, Laia and I discovered ourselves in a serene corner of the resort's garden.

The air carried the delightful scent of flowers, and in the distance, we could hear the soothing waves caressing the coast.We trekked together, our fingers entwined, and contentment surged through us. The brisk ocean breeze and the subtle saline sea aroma, nearly eclipsed by the flower's fragrance, stirred up cherished memories. With a grin, I inquired, "Recall our first New Year together?" as we settled on a nearby bench."That day was full of joy, shared with our friends and families," she chuckled. "I believe it's also the very same day when their relationship took off.""Who? Carlo and Sienna? How did you find out?"

    I found myself in profound silence, staring at the room's ceiling. The pristine white expanse seemed to reflect my inner turmoil, a cruel reminder of the revelation about Olivia Harrington that had shaken me to my core. I sat at my desk, feeling overwhelmed. I forced deep breaths to steady my racing heart. Each beat resonated in my ears, echoing the emotions welling up inside. At the same time, my head throbbed with anguish, and tears blurred my vision.

    I froze, my heart pounding as though it might burst from my chest. My hands trembled as I grasped my champagne glass, my fingers slick with moisture. It couldn't be her, I reasoned. My mind is scrambling to rationalize the absurdity of the situation. Laia had been missing for a year despite our best attempts, and the agony of not knowing her fate had been a continuous weight on my shoulders.However, the deeper hole kept opening up inside me as she moved nearer, and the facial features became apparent clearly.

They insisted I stay the night since it was already late, and they couldn't let me go alone in my current state of mind. However, the events of the day had taken a toll on them. Anika, who had been relatively calm during dinner, began to cry, and Sienna had to tend to her. Carlo reluctantly left my side to help her soothe the baby.The frantic cries of Anika filled the apartment, echoing through the living room where I lay. But then, as Carlo and Sienna's efforts to calm her continued, a deafening silence enveloped the room. It was in this silence that my mood turned for the worst. I was overwhelmed with misery, despair, desire, wrath, and self-blame.I tossed and turned on the improvised bed, thoughts consumed by the day's events, the hunt for Laia, and the inquiry into the accidents. The heaviness of the universe seemed to settle on my shoulders, and I couldn't escape the feeling that I was

    After more than half a year of attempts to find the perpetrator who caused both my father-in-law's and my wife's car accidents, the investigators finally caught him. The bittersweet relief clashed with my agony and rage, followed by self-blame as I lowered the phone, placing it slowly on the bed. "Was that the investigators?" Carlo inquired as soon as I hung up the call. "Yeah, they finally caught him," I replied. "It took them a while," he grumbled in disappointment. I clamped my jaws as I felt increasingly frustrated, then flopped onto the bed with desperation. A deep sigh escaped from my mouth as I yearned for a moment of relief. I tried to seek comfort in my mind, but my inner turmoil prevented it. Restlessness surged through me. I couldn't resist the urge to shift and turn on the mattress. It felt like a storm of thoughts and emotions was swirling within me, making any chance for rest seem like a fantasy. "Man, I know how anxious you are right now, but we need to sleep so we
