Beyond The Time Chapter 62- Author's POV
Alina smoothed out the hem of her short black dress, glancing at her reflection in the mirror one last time. Natalie had convinced her to go all out for this bridesmaids’ party—short dresses, high heels, and a night of wild fun. Alina couldn’t deny she was excited, but the thought of Anton and the guys at his bachelor party still gnawed at her a bit. Especially after Zack's playful mention of strippers. “Girl, you look amazing!” Natalie burst into the room, grinning ear to ear. She wore a red mini-dress that left little to the imagination, her energy practically vibrating through the air. “Tonight is going to be epic.” Alina turned to her friend, offering a half-smile. “I’m sure it will be. But are you sure we need all this?” She motioned to the pile of decorations in Natalie’s apartment. Neon lights, confetti, and glittery banners that read “Bride Squad” adorned the living room. Loud pop music pulsed in the background. “Absolutely! You’re getting married, and this is the last nig

Anton couldn’t stop the smirk that played on his lips as he and the guys slipped out of the club. Zack, Jason, and a few of their old college friends followed behind him, all curious about his sudden change of plans.“So, let me get this straight,” Zack said, trying to keep up. “We’re ditching our party… to crash the girls’ party? That’s what we’re doing?”Anton nodded, still smiling. “Yep. You got a problem with that?”Zack chuckled, shaking his head. “Oh no, man. I’m down. Just wondering if they’re going to be as excited to see us as you think.”“Trust me,” Jason chimed in. “With these ladies, there’s never a dull moment.”As they approached Natalie’s apartment, the sound of thumping music and laughter spilled out onto the street. Anton’s curiosity grew. He had always known Alina and Natalie to be fun, but he was dying to see just how wild things had gotten in his absence.Anton exchanged a quick glance with Jason and Zack as they made their way up the stairs. “Let’s keep this a sur

Alina stood in front of the mirror, her heart pounding as she took in the delicate details of her wedding dress. The intricate lace, the soft tulle skirt, and the shimmering veil all felt like a dream. She had waited for this moment, and now, it was finally here—her wedding day with Anton. Her fingers trembled slightly as she adjusted her veil, her thoughts drifting to the journey that had brought her here. The trials, the heartbreak, the second chance at life—it all felt surreal. Natalie appeared behind her, grinning widely. “You look stunning, Alina! Anton is going to lose his mind when he sees you.” Alina blushed, her thoughts flashing to Anton. “I hope so. I’m still nervous.” Natalie laughed softly, stepping closer to adjust Alina’s dress. “Nervous? You? Come on, girl, you’ve faced way worse things in life. This is your day, and it’s going to be perfect.” Alina smiled softly at her best friend. “You’re right. I just can’t believe it’s really happening.” Natalie winked.

The reception was over, and everyone had celebrated to their hearts' content. Alina Martin, now officially Mrs. Anton Rodriguez, was still blushing from all the well-wishes and cheers. She had been whisked away by Natalie just before the evening ended, dragged back to the bridal suite under the guise of “preparation.” Natalie giggled mischievously as they entered the suite. "You know what’s next, right?" Alina raised a brow, her heart still fluttering with joy and nerves. "Yes, I’m aware. My wedding night," she said softly. Natalie wagged her finger. "No, no, no. It’s not just any wedding night, girl. This is 'the' wedding night! And you have to be absolutely ready for it!" Alina, still feeling the nerves, sat down on the edge of the bed. "I’m ready, Nat. I’ve been with Anton long enough now, but..." She trailed off, feeling a bit shy about what Natalie had planned. "But?" Natalie teased, grinning wide. She reached for one of the bags they’d gotten during that infamous shop
Beyond The Time Chapter 66- Author's POV
Alina’s breath quickened as Anton deepened their kiss, his hands gliding over her back and hips. The tension that had been building between them all day finally erupted as they pressed against one another. Anton’s grip tightened on her waist, pulling her closer as if trying to erase the distance between them completely."You’ve been driving me insane all day," Anton murmured against her lips, his voice rough with need.Alina smiled, her fingers lightly trailing up his chest. "I didn’t do anything. You’re the one who couldn’t wait to get here."Anton smirked, brushing his lips along her neck, causing her to shudder. "You know exactly what you do to me."As his lips moved lower, tracing her collarbone, Alina’s hands slid to his shirt, tugging it over his head, revealing his toned chest. She let her hands explore his skin, feeling the heat of his body under her touch. Anton groaned softly as she pressed her lips to his chest, her teasing kisses only fueling the fire between them.Without

Alina stirred, her body instinctively gravitating towards the warmth of Anton beside her. She felt his arm draped protectively around her waist, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. Her eyes fluttered open, and a soft smile tugged at her lips as she took in the peaceful expression on his face. He looked so relaxed, a contentment radiating from him that mirrored her own feelings.Alina shifted slightly, careful not to wake him just yet. The events of the night before replayed in her mind, each memory making her heart swell with love. Their wedding had been perfect—full of joy, laughter, and promises of forever. And their wedding night… well, that had been something beyond words. Her cheeks flushed as she remembered how Anton had made her feel, the way he looked at her with such intensity and devotion.She sighed softly, letting herself enjoy the quiet moment. The world outside their little bubble felt distant and unimportant. For now, it was just the two of them, cocooned i
Beyond The Time Chapter 68- Author's POV
Anton had been acting secretive for the past few days, and it was driving Alina crazy in the best way possible. He had whisked her away from their home early in the morning, not giving any clues about where they were headed for their honeymoon. She had tried to guess, tried to tease it out of him with her usual charm, but Anton wasn’t budging. The private jet they boarded was luxurious, making Alina wonder if every second of this trip would be wrapped in extravagance. Still, he hadn’t let slip even a single detail. "Anton Rodriguez," she playfully scolded as she settled into one of the plush seats in the private jet. "If you don’t tell me where we’re going soon, I swear I’ll—" "You’ll what?" Anton interrupted with a grin, sitting beside her and buckling his seatbelt. "Tickle me into submission? Tempt me with your irresistible charm?" Alina narrowed her eyes, but the smile tugging at her lips betrayed her. "I might just leave you to honeymoon alone." Anton chuckled, leaning clos

It was secluded, serene, and breathtakingly beautiful—a perfect paradise for their honeymoon.Anton led her toward the villa, his hand resting gently on her lower back. "I hope you're ready for the next few days of total relaxation," he said, his voice filled with warmth.Alina smiled, her eyes wide with excitement. "This is incredible, Anton.

The villa was a picture-perfect scene of Christmas cheer. Twinkling lights adorned the exterior, casting a warm glow over the snow-dusted garden, while a large Christmas tree stood proudly in the living room, its ornaments glinting in the soft light. The scent of fresh pine and cinnamon filled the air, mingling with the laughter and chatter of friends and family. Alina held her one-month-old daughter close, cradling the tiny bundle in her arms as guests arrived. She smiled, watching as Linton and Gabriel practically hovered around her, peering down at the baby with wide-eyed wonder. “Is she really my sister?Sometimes it feels like a dream mommy.” Linton asked for the tenth time, his voice filled with awe. Alina chuckled softly. “Yes, sweetheart. She’s really your sister. You got exactly what you asked Santa for last Christmas.” Linton beamed, reaching out a cautious hand to touch his sister’s tiny fingers. “Hi, baby sister,” he whispered. “ I’ll always protect you.” Gabriel,

The doorbell rang, and Alina smiled, knowing exactly who it was. A few moments later, Linton’s excited voice echoed through the hall as he raced toward the door to greet his best friend, Gabriel. “Gabriel!” Linton yelled, throwing the door open and giving his friend a high-five. Gabriel grinned as he stepped inside, holding a little gift bag in his hand. “Hey, Linton! Hi, Aunt Alina!” Gabriel greeted, his eyes wide with excitement as he approached her. “How’s the baby?” Alina chuckled, patting her belly. “Getting bigger every day, Gabriel. And she’s quite active today.” Linton immediately perched himself beside his mom, his eyes sparkling with interest. “Can I talk to her again, Mommy?” he asked with a shy smile. “Of course, sweetheart.” She smoothed down her shirt and leaned back so the boys could get closer. Gabriel scooted onto the couch beside Alina, looking both curious and excited. He handed her the little gift bag, inside of which was a small stuffed bunny with floppy ea

Alina rested on the couch, a blanket draped over her legs and her hand resting on her rounded belly. At seven months pregnant, her baby bump was unmistakable, and it was a joy to see how much it had become a part of the family’s daily life. From Anton’s frequent hand resting over her belly to Linton’s fascination with “talking” to his baby sibling, the whole house seemed to radiate warmth and anticipation. Linton, bursting with excitement, had clambered up onto the couch beside her, his small hands gingerly placed over her belly as if holding a fragile treasure. He leaned in close, his expression serious as he started whispering to the baby. “Hi, baby sis,” Linton said, his voice soft but filled with excitement. “It’s me, Linton, your big brother! I can’t wait to meet you, and I’m gonna teach you everything I know. We’re gonna play so many games, and I’ll teach you how to draw dinosaurs and superheroes. And… and I’ll share my toys, too!” Alina chuckled, resting her hand over his.

Alina gently ruffled Linton’s hair, nudging him awake. Anton was already up, sipping his coffee in the kitchen, as she whispered to their son, "Wake up, Linton. I have a surprise for you today." Linton’s eyes fluttered open, and he rubbed them with his small fists, his face brightening instantly at the word “surprise.” “A surprise? Where are we going, Mommy?” Alina smiled. “You’ll see soon enough. Go get dressed, and we’ll be on our way.” As Linton scrambled out of bed and rushed to get ready, Alina made her way to the kitchen. She kissed Anton on the cheek, feeling a surge of excitement about the secret she was about to share. She had been working on a special painting for weeks, pouring her heart into every brushstroke, and today, she would finally reveal it. “Where are we off to this morning?” Anton asked, raising an eyebrow with curiosity as he sipped his coffee. “Just a little outing to the gallery. I have something special to show you both,” Alina replied, her eyes twin

Alina and Anton pulled into the driveway of David and Isabella’s home. Their hearts were light, filled with the warmth of their recent trip to Paris and the excitement of reuniting with their little one. As they stepped out of the car, Linton’s energy was palpable; he bounced on his feet, his eyes sparkling with anticipation as he saw his parents getting down the car. "Mom-dad I missed you so much." Linton hugged their legs. Anton picked him up in his arms. “Are we ready to see Gabriel?” Anton asked, ruffling Linton’s hair. “Yes! I want to show him the new toys you brought!” Linton exclaimed, practically dragging his parents toward the front door. Alina chuckled at her son’s enthusiasm. “Hold on, buddy. Let’s not rush too much. We’ve got to make sure we greet everyone first.” They rang the doorbell, and moments later, David swung the door open, a wide grin lighting up his face. “Welcome back, you guys! We missed you! Literally ever since Linton got to know you are coming he h

Steam filled the bathroom, the warm mist clinging to the glass walls of the shower as water falling softly. Alina leaned against the cool tiles, her body relaxing under the hot spray. She felt a gentle touch at her waist, and without opening her eyes, she knew it was Anton. "Mind if I join you?" his deep voice rumbled softly in her ear, a smile evident in his tone. Alina smiled and turned slightly, glancing over her shoulder. "Of course sweetheart. You never need permission." Anton chuckled, stepping closer, his hands slowly trailing up her arms, pulling her back against his chest. The heat of his body mixed with the warmth of the water, enveloping her in comfort and safety. "I thought I’d be polite today so I was asking for permission," he teased, his lips brushing against the side of her neck, sending a shiver down her spine. Alina leaned her head back, resting it against his shoulder. "You? Polite?" she teased back, the warmth of his breath tickling her skin. "Hey, I c

David's house was alive with the sounds of giggles and shuffling papers as Linton and Gabriel sat side by side at the large wooden dining table, their books spread out before them. “Got it!” Gabriel declared triumphantly, holding up his math workbook. Linton, still scribbling away on his own page, glanced at him with a smirk. “You think you’re fast, huh? Let me check that.” He leaned over, playfully scrutinizing Gabriel’s work. “Hmm... looks right, but I bet I can finish mine faster.” “Oh, it’s on!” Gabriel grinned, and they both dove back into their homework with renewed energy. Isabella stood at the kitchen counter, watching the boys with a fond smile. She was whipping up pancake batter for their afternoon snack, the aroma of freshly made batter already filling the air. The kitchen was warm and inviting. She glanced over her shoulder at David, who was reading on the couch, occasionally glancing up to chuckle at the boys' competitive banter. “I love how determined they are,

The next day, Paris greeted us with a warm breeze and a clear blue sky.Anton was already up, sipping on his coffee by the window as he admired the view. I walked over to him, still in my pajamas, and leaned against his arm, taking in the sight of the Eiffel Tower standing tall in the distance. “We’re really doing this, huh?” I asked, smiling as I looked up at him. Anton grinned, setting his cup down on the table. “Absolutely. Are you ready for a day of cliches and tourist photos?” I laughed, nodding. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” An hour later, we were standing at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, and despite the crowds around us, I couldn’t help but feel the excitement bubbling up inside. Anton had his camera ready, capturing moments before we even started climbing. Every few steps, he’d stop, turn to me with that teasing smile, and snap a picture—of me laughing, of us together, of the view. "Okay, one more,” Anton said, holding up his phone, getting us both into the fram
Beyond The Time Chapter 105- Alina’s POV
Anton’s hand brushed softly against the small of my back as we entered the suite, his touch lingering just a little longer than necessary. I looked around, taking in the breathtaking view from the floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the city of Paris. The Eiffel Tower sparkled in the distance. Everything about this place felt perfect—luxurious and romantic. The door clicked shut behind us, and the sound echoed in the quiet, intimate space. I placed my purse on the plush chair near the window and took a deep breath, letting the atmosphere of the city sink in. “We’re really here,” I said softly, more to myself than to Anton. Anton chuckled behind me, his arms sliding around my waist. “We are. No distractions. No meetings. Just you, me, and Paris.” I leaned back against him, closing my eyes and enjoying the warmth of his embrace. For the first time in what felt like forever, we had no obligations pulling us in different directions. Just us. I turned in his arms, looking up a
