I headed straight to my office after dropping Eloise off at her house. Despite the chaos she often stirred, there was something oddly energizing about it, and I found myself looking forward to the peace and quiet of my workspace—or so I thought.

When I opened the door, I immediately heard the sound of someone crying. My brow furrowed as I stepped inside and saw Venice, her face buried in her hands, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Sitting beside her was Rafael, holding a coffee cup with a smug expression, clearly enjoying the scene before him.

“Seriously, Rafael?” I closed the door behind me and gave him a pointed look.

“What?” he shrugged, trying to hide a laugh. “It’s not every day you see Venice cry over someone. It’s... entertaining.”

“Asshole,” Venice muttered, sniffing loudly as she glared at Rafael.

I walked to my desk, dropping my keys on the surface before addressing them. “Alright, what happened this time?”

Venice let out a loud sob and pointed dramatically at Rafael. “He d

    The roar of the engine filled my ears as I gripped the steering wheel tighter, my foot pressing harder on the accelerator. The world outside blurred into streaks of light and color, but I kept my focus steady. I glanced at the side mirror, catching a glimpse of the car behind me struggling to keep up.A smirk tugged at my lips. Too slow.I swerved around a sharp turn, the tires screeching as I maintained control. The thrill of the race coursed through my veins, drowning out everything else. The crowd’s cheers were deafening, but it only fueled me. I could see them lining the makeshift track, waving their hands and shouting my name.They were all expecting me to win—no, counting on me to win. I knew most of them had bet everything on me, and I wasn’t about to disappoint.I stole another glance at my side mirror. The closest car was at least two lengths behind, its driver desperately trying to catch up. I laughed softly under my breath, the adrenaline making me feel invincible.“This is

    "I thought we were in this for the ups and downs, bro. Damn you! I’m really going to kill that jerk. Damn, he punches hard!"I closed my eyes tightly as the scene from earlier replayed in my head. Eloise... Shit. Does she really kiss like that?! And she still had the nerve to make out with someone else right after getting into an accident?!Rafael finally stopped complaining when he noticed I wasn’t listening. He sat there, getting his bruises treated by a nurse, while I stayed on the sidelines, seated on the edge of a bench, staring blankly ahead. “Elijah,” Rafael called, his voice quieter this time. I didn’t respond. My thoughts were elsewhere. I couldn’t shake the image from my mind—the way she kissed that guy, like she didn’t care about anything. And then, the chaos that followed. “Elijah!” Rafael’s voice was louder now, snapping me out of it. I blinked and looked at him. “What?” I asked, my tone sharper than intended. He frowned, wincing as the nurse dabbed at his

    I looked him straight in the eyes right after saying it.I saw how he struggled to swallow after hearing my words, his Adam’s apple bobbing nervously.His reaction made me smirk."What’s the matter, Elijah?" I teased, my tone dripping with mischief. "Did I make you uncomfortable?"I crossed my arms, tilting my head slightly, waiting for his response.He stiffened, trying so hard to maintain his composure. "No," he muttered, but his voice crackedjust enough for me to notice.I chuckled, stepping closer to him, deliberately invading his space. "You’re a terrible liar," I whispered, enjoying the way his breath hitched.His hands clenched into fists at his sides, and I could tell he was fighting the urge to step back—or maybe to grab me, I wasn’t sure. Either way, I loved the effect I had on him.“You don’t scare me,” he said finally, his voice low and rough.I leaned closer, so close our faces were almost touching, and smiled. "Good," I murmured. "Because I wasn’t trying to scare you."

    I didn’t know how long I had been staring into nothingness after Eloise said those words. "Funny, because that's also what you said five years ago." Her voice kept echoing in my head, each syllable cutting deeper than the last. It was like she’d reached into my chest and squeezed whatever was left of my heart. Five years ago. I ran a hand through my hair, trying to shove the memory back into the dark corner of my mind where it belonged, but it was no use. It was all coming back—the promises, the guilt, the failure. I leaned against the doorframe, her absence filling the room like a suffocating void. For someone so small, she carried a storm within her, and every time I got too close, I got caught in the eye of it. "Damn it, Eloise," I muttered under my breath. My fists clenched at my sides. I wanted to follow her. To explain. To fix this mess. But I also knew that she wasn’t ready to hear anything I had to say. She never was. I shook my head and pushed myself off the d

    Last night was a blast. I wanted to go bar hopping again, but Elijah, being the killjoy that he always is, decided to take me straight home to the mansion. So here I am again, sitting at the long dining table with my so-called father. I grimaced before yawning, lazily eyeing the food spread out in front of me but my eyes stopped at the end of the table where the demon seated. I was expecting the usual—cold silence or his endless tirades about how much of a disappointment I am. But today... something’s different. I blinked, trying to process what I was seeing. My father, smiling. Not the sarcastic, mocking smirk he usually wears, but an actual, genuine smile as he sipped his coffee. "Did I wake up in the wrong house?" Farah, sitting across from me, muttered.We exchanged a glance before I looked away, lazily reaching for a piece of bread."Good morning, Farah, Eloise, and Sandro," the devil himself greeted us, which was incredibly surprising. Just the other day, he looked

    Could this day get any more frustrating? First, there was last night's disaster—my conversation with Eloise. Then, this morning, my mom started bugging me about marrying the daughter of one of her friends, throwing in her usual guilt trip about how she's getting older. As if that wasn’t enough, seeing Noel again after all these years stirred up things I wasn’t ready to deal with. And now, Eloise’s eyes are boring into me, full of accusation, as if I had betrayed her by not telling her Noel was back. It felt like the universe was testing my patience! “Don’t tell me we’ve been waiting here for half an hour already because Eloise ruined the meeting?” Veronica scoffed, crossing her arms as she leaned back in her seat. I sighed, rubbing the bridge of my nose. “She didn’t ruin the meeting. She just… made an entrance, that’s all.” "An entrance?" Veronica raised an eyebrow, disbelief etched on her face. "She barged in, glared at everyone like she owned the place, and completely derai

    Elijah looked at me like I’d lost my mind. His mouth opened, then closed, like he couldn’t believe what I just said. "You need what?!" he asked, his voice loud and sharp. I crossed my arms, meeting his shocked gaze. "Sperm. Your sperm," I said again, not even blinking. He rubbed his face, letting out a frustrated sigh. "Eloise, are you out of your mind?" "No, I’m not." I raised my chin, my tone steady. "He wants an heir. I’ll give him one—but I need your help. Simple as that." He laughed, but it wasn’t the usual amused kind—it was the kind that made my skin prickle. "Simple? Simple?! Are you hearing yourself, Eloise?! You can’t just walk up to me and casually ask for my sperm like you’re borrowing sugar from a neighbor!" "Why not?" I said, crossing my arms, unfazed by his outburst. "Why not?!" His voice pitched higher, his hands flailing as if trying to grab an invisible explanation. "Because it’s crazy, Eloise! It’s absolutely insane! You don’t just do things like this!

    "Elijah, I need your sperm.” She just needs your sperm, Elijah! Your sperm! It doesn’t mean you two will have sex! You’ll just be her sperm donor!“Fuck… Oh… Goddamnit, Eloise!”I tightly shut my eyes, the image of her serious face as she said those words replaying in my mind.“Elijah, I need your sperm.”I was utterly exhausted, gasping for air and drenched in sweat. I can't fucking sleep! No matter what I do, I can't erase the way she said those words from my mind! Her alluring face is just too much to handle! My strength is draining, and even my hands feel tired. It’s like I’m burning up with fever from this unbearable heat! This isn’t the first time I’ve fantasized about my sister-in-law, but it’s definitely the first time I’ve touched myself nonstop from midnight till dawn!“Ahhh…. Fuck, Eloise! Fuck! Fuck! Damn it!” I'm not even sure if she's serious about what she's asking for! But the thought that I’m the first person she thought of... that’s what’s making me so damn hard!

    When I was not yet a mother I treated my car as my babies. I handle them with so much care only to end up crashing it into roadside trees and now that I'm a mother… Now that I'm a mother... I can only pray I don’t end up crashing my actual baby into something. Not literally, of course. But the fear of messing up? Of not being good enough? That was real. I used to think taking care of cars was already a responsibility—checking the engine, making sure there were no scratches, keeping them in perfect condition. But taking care of a baby? Completely different level. A car wouldn’t cry in the middle of the night. A car wouldn’t look up at me with big, innocent eyes, completely trusting me with its life. Eloah did. And that scared the hell out of me. I was about to reach for my coffee when I noticed Elijah standing near the doorway, his expression unusually serious. My brows furrowed. "What?" He hesitated, and that hesitation alone made my stomach drop. “Elijah,” I pressed,

    I hummed a lullaby softly as my son slept peacefully in my arms. His tiny chest rose and fell with each breath, his little fingers twitching every now and then. It was… surreal. This little human—so small, so fragile—was mine. Ours. Eloise was watching us from the hospital bed, her eyes filled with something unreadable. Love, maybe. Or maybe disbelief, just like me. I glanced at her. “We still haven’t really decided on a name.” She bit her lip, thinking. “I’ve been thinking about something…” I raised a brow, waiting. She took a deep breath. “Eloah.” Eloah. I looked down at my son, testing the name in my mind. It felt… right. “Eloah Hart-Dawson,” I murmured. Eloise nodded. “It means 'God is my light.'” I swallowed, my arms tightening slightly around my son. Eloah. My light. Our light. I looked at Eloise again, and this time, I didn’t hold back my smile. “It’s perfect.”As I drove us home from the hospital, I kept glancing at the rearview mirror, watching E

    I never really thought about what it would be like to give birth. I mean, it’s just one push, right? The baby comes out just like that—simple, like… pooping.Well, I was fucking wrong. This was nothing like pooping. The pain was unbearable—like my body was being ripped apart from the inside. I was sweating, panting, gripping the hospital bed so hard my knuckles turned white. I wanted to scream, curse, throw something—anything to make this stop. "You're doing great, Eloise!" one of the nurses said, her voice way too cheerful for my liking. "Great?!" I snapped, glaring at her. "If this is great, I don't want to know what bad feels like!" Farah was beside me, holding my hand, her face pale but determined. "El, you can do this." "I can't!" I groaned as another wave of pain hit me. "Just knock me out! Get this baby out of me already!" And where the hell was Elijah?! "He's on his way," Farah assured me, reading my mind. He better be, because if I was suffering through this

    The moment her lips left mine, I smirked. “I didn’t know you already suck at kissing.” Eloise shot me a glare, still slightly breathless. “Excuse me?” I leaned in again, my lips barely brushing her ear as I whispered, “You pulled away first.” She scoffed and crossed her arms. “Because I need energy. Unlike you, I’m carrying a whole human inside me.” I chuckled, reaching for her waist, but she stepped back and grabbed her coffee like I wasn’t just kissing her senseless a few seconds ago. Damn, this woman. “You’re really just gonna act like that didn’t happen?” I teased, watching as she took a slow sip from her mug. Eloise raised a brow. “Act like what didn’t happen?” I narrowed my eyes on her. “Unbelievable.” She shrugged, turning away as if she wasn’t affected, but I didn’t miss the way her fingers slightly trembled against the mug. She was so full of it. I smirked, stepping closer behind her. “You can deny it all you want, Eloise…” I leaned in, my voice low. “But

    I was laughing at another ridiculous scene from Friends when Elijah suddenly placed a glass of milk on the vanity table beside me.I glanced at him, raising a brow. “What’s this for?”He shrugged, sitting down next to me. “For you. You need it.”I rolled my eyes but took a sip anyway. “You act like I don’t drink enough milk.”“You don’t,” he said flatly, making me laugh.Elijah leaned back, watching the TV with mild interest before turning to me. “You’ve seen this show a million times. It’s, what? Twenty years old?”“More than twenty,” I corrected with a grin.He shook his head. “So why do you still love it?”I sighed, hugging a pillow. “Because it’s comforting. It’s funny, lighthearted… and no matter how many times I watch it, it still makes me happy.”Elijah hummed, considering my words. “So it’s like your comfort food, but in TV form?”“Exactly.”He smirked. “So if Friends is your comfort show, what does that make me?”“The father of my child.”Elijah went completely silent, and I

    ELOISEWithin three months, a lot of things happened.I can't say our situation is really okay now, but at least it was far from before. The weight on my chest wasn’t as heavy, the nightmares weren’t as constant, and for the first time in a long time, I felt like I could breathe again. Victoria was sent to a mental hospital.It was inevitable. After everything she had done, after the chaos she left behind, there was no other place for her to go. The last time I saw her, she was sitting in a quiet corner of the facility, staring blankly at the wall. Her once sharp, calculating eyes now seemed distant—empty.A part of me wanted to hate her, to curse her for every wound she inflicted on me, on Elijah, on Noel. But standing there, watching her so lost in her own mind, I felt… nothing. No anger. No satisfaction. Just an eerie sense of finality.Edmund, on the other hand, was in prison.Justice was swift, and there was no escaping what he had done. The trial had been exhausting, dragging o

    It has always been me. Those words hit me harder than any bullet ever could. I stared at her, my mind refusing to process what she just said. After everything—after years of regret, after watching her slip through my fingers, after forcing myself to accept that I had lost her—she was telling me this now. I clenched my jaw, my hands curling into fists. “Eloise…” My voice was hoarse, like I had been drowning for years and was finally gasping for air. She loved him. She admitted it. But all this time, it was me. I was the one she gave away when I walked away first. I let out a shaky breath, my heart pounding so hard it hurt. “Then why…” I swallowed, trying to steady myself. “Why did you never tell me?” Why did you let me believe I had already lost you?She smirked before lowering her head. "I was scared… but then again, what is life without a little fear?" I watched her, my chest tightening. Fear? Was that what kept her from telling me? From reaching out? "Eloise..." My v

    For years, I carried the weight of unanswered questions. Why did he leave me? Why did he let Matthew take his place? Why did he make me feel like I was never enough to fight for? I never got the answers—not from him, not from anyone. Just assumptions, just pain. The airport buzzed around us—people rushing, announcements echoing, luggage wheels rolling against the floor—but it all faded into the background.We sat on the cold metal bench, side by side, facing the massive glass wall that overlooked the runway. Planes took off and landed, coming and going, just like everything in my life."Elijah," I whispered, steady but firm. "No more lies. No more excuses. Just tell me… why?”The orange light from the sun reflected on his face, casting soft shadows over his sharp features. He looked tired—drained—but there was something else in his eyes. Something raw.He smiled… I stared at him, waiting—needing—to hear more. Elijah leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, his finger

    I smirked. I needed to compose myself. There was no room for fucking drama right now, Elijah. We needed to focus. We needed to prioritize Eloise. Even with the gun pointed at me, I took a deep breath and let my smirk widen. "Go ahead, Eloise," I taunted. "Shoot me." Her grip on the gun was steady. Her expression was cold—unwavering. "You think I won’t?" she asked, voice sharp as a blade. "I know you can," I said, stepping forward. "But will you?" She didn't move. Didn't even blink. "You're standing beside the man who destroyed your life—”"But also," she continued, her voice unwavering, "the man in front of me pointing his gun is the brother of the woman who killed my brother and husband!"She was talking about Veronica.My fingers tightened around my gun, but I didn't move."And don't forget, dear, the reason why he distanced himself away from you it's because he choose Veronica than you—" “Shut the fuck up you old man!” I couldn't help it anymore.
