Promising to return after a few years, Legacy made a vow that stayed etched in Summer's memory."Summer, I love you. But I have to go with my parents. They want me to study abroad. But don't worry, when I come back, if you're single and I'm single, I'll date you. I'll buy anything you need, and I'll make myself rich just to have you as my wife!"And with that, they had said their goodbyes, both holding onto the promise of a future together.But as Summer's thoughts drifted to that memory, another one interjected itself. One that shattered her illusions and left her heartbroken. She remembered her conversation with Martha, Osiris' ex-wife."Why, Summer? I entrusted my child to you and Osiris, and now you're doing this? Why are you hurting him?" Martha's words echoed in her mind."Martha!" Summer called out, as if pleading for answers. But as she opened her eyes, she realized she had been dreaming. She was sitting by the pool, tears streaming down her face. With a heavy heart, she made
Six months later.The gentle breeze carried with it a sense of anticipation, as if the very air itself was brimming with excitement. The sun hung high in the sky, casting a warm and inviting glow upon the gathering. Friends and family, adorned in their finest attire, filled the outdoor venue with an air of joyful chatter and laughter.A white aisle stretched out like a canvas waiting to be painted upon, leading to an arch adorned with delicate blooms that seemed to burst forth in a symphony of colors. The air was filled with the sweet scent of flowers, a fragrant offering to the celebration that was about to unfold.Summer stood at the threshold of a new chapter, her radiant smile illuminating the space around her. The ivory gown she wore clung to her form like a whispered promise, every stitch a testament to the love and hope that had brought her to this moment. Her eyes glistened with a mixture of emotions as she clutched a bouquet of wildflowers in her hands, each bloom symbolizing
In a flash, Osiris and Summer's eyes met, a silent exchange that conveyed their shared dread. As if driven by a single purpose, they sprang into action. Osiris directed the crowd, his voice strong despite the underlying panic. "Everyone, stay here and keep calm. We need to search for Cameron. Form search teams and comb through every inch of this place."Guests responded, forming groups that fanned out across the venue. Concerned faces searched every corner, every hidden nook, hoping to uncover any trace of the missing baby. As the minutes stretched on, the tension in the air became palpable, the sense of urgency propelling their efforts.Summer's heart raced as she joined the search, her eyes scanning the surroundings in a desperate bid to locate her child. Every cry of "Cameron!" that pierced the air felt like a lifeline thrown into the darkness, a plea for the safe return of their beloved baby.Amidst the chaos, Osiris's voice rang out, cutting through the anxiety. "Call the authori
Their kiss was a testament to the depth of their feelings, a merging of souls that transcended time and circumstance. It spoke of a love that had weathered storms and emerged stronger, a love that had grown with each passing day. And in that fleeting moment, all the worries and troubles of the world seemed to fade into the background, leaving only the two of them wrapped in a cocoon of affection.When their lips finally parted, a soft, shared smile graced their faces. It was a smile that spoke of a love that had stood the test of time, a love that had overcome obstacles and was now stronger than ever. Summer's eyes glistened with unshed tears, her heart full to the brim with the happiness that Osiris brought into her life."I missed you," she whispered, her voice carrying the weight of her emotions."I missed you too," Osiris replied, his voice tinged with a mixture of longing and relief.As they stood there, wrapped in each other's embrace, the world outside seemed to fade away, leav
As Luca and Ronnie left the room and strolled down the hallway, they found themselves greeted by the familiar sounds of basketball clashing against the court. Their friends were engaged in a spirited game in the gym, waving at them as they passed by."Ronnie, what time is it?" Luca inquired.Ronnie glanced at his watch and replied, "Too early for dinner."A knowing smile played on Ronnie's lips, suggesting that he was well aware of Luca's unspoken intentions."You know what I'm thinking," Luca pressed further.Ronnie rolled his eyes, feigning exasperation. "Alright, just 15 minutes, dude."Luca wasn't one to back down easily. "20?"Ronnie's resolve seemed to waver slightly. "10 minutes."Luca persisted, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Oh, come on, boy, it's just one Taylor Swift song on Spotify!"Curiosity piqued, Ronnie asked, "What song?""All Too Well, 10-minute version," Luca replied with a sly grin.Ronnie's lips curved into a half-amused, half-resigned smile. "5 minutes, your
The final shot left Luca's fingertips, and for a suspended moment, the basketball seemed to hang in the air. The cheers of his friends echoed through the darkened schoolyard as the ball swished through the net, sealing his victory. The court was illuminated by the dim glow of streetlights, casting elongated shadows that danced with each triumphant shout.Amidst the jubilant celebrations, the school guard emerged, casting a beam of light with his flashlight that cut through the darkness like a searchlight. His presence signaled the end of their basketball play, a reminder that the school's after-hours activities needed to come to a close. Luca's friends gathered around him, patting his back and offering their congratulations.As the schoolyard bathed in the soft glow of the flashlight, Luca made his way towards Ronnie, who had been watching the game from the sidelines. The two friends exchanged a knowing look, a silent understanding passing between them. With a nod, Ronnie gestured tow
"Anyway, I'll bathe and get changed too. You too, son." A playful smirk tugged at the corner of Osiris’ lips, giving his son the baked pie. "Anyway, put that on the table.” He turned his back but stepped back when he remembered he had to say something. “Take a shower, boys. I know you played ball again. We'll eat after." Osiris' fatherly concern was paired with a knowing smile, a nod to their shared activities and the usual post-game routine."Luca, lend your friend some clothes," he added with a wink, his voice taking on a more conspiratorial tone. "Your mama will complain if we boys stink."Their laughter resonated throughout the hallway, an infectious sound that encapsulated the camaraderie between them. The father and son exchanged a knowing look, a bond strengthened by shared memories and playful jests. With a final chuckle, they each went their separate ways—Osiris ascending the stairs to their bedroom and Ronnie following Luca toward his.As Osiris entered their bedroom, the fa
Luca's cheeks flushed, a mixture of embarrassment and amusement playing across his features. "Come on, Ronnie, you didn't have to share that story!"Ronnie shrugged, a mischievous grin on his face. "Hey, you said I should tell your mom more about you!""Well, I didn't expect you to spill all my embarrassing secrets!" Luca retorted, playfully nudging Ronnie's shoulder.As the laughter subsided, Summer's gaze lingered on her son, affection and amusement evident in her eyes. "Oh, Luca, you've always known how to keep life interesting."Osiris joined in, his deep laughter rumbling through the room. "Indeed, our boy has a flair for the dramatic!"The atmosphere was light and jovial, the shared laughter drawing them closer as a family. Summer's heart swelled with warmth as she basked in the joyous camaraderie that enveloped them. The bond they shared was evident in these moments of shared laughter and teasing, a testament to the enduring connections that wove them together.As the dinner co
THE DAY BEFORE Christmas had finally arrived, and the house buzzed with the promise of festive celebrations. Summer and Osiris had been looking forward to this day, eager to transform their home into a Christmas wonderland that would dazzle their friends and family.As the morning sunlight streamed through the windows, Summer and Osiris donned their holiday spirits, quite literally. Summer wore a cozy red sweater adorned with a jolly snowman, while Osiris opted for a green one with a mischievous-looking reindeer. They both chuckled at their choice of attire, acknowledging that they had fully embraced the Christmas spirit.The first order of business was to retrieve the boxes of Christmas decorations from the attic. The stairs creaked softly as they ascended, and the air was filled with the scent of aged wood and anticipation. The attic was a treasure trove of holiday memories, filled with boxes of ornaments, twinkling lights, and garlands of every shade and texture.With a sense of re
As Osiris assembled the crib, his hands moved with a tenderness that matched the anticipation in his heart. Summer watched him, her eyes filled with adoration. This was the man who would be their daughter's father, the one who would stand by her side through all the seasons of life.With the crib in place and adorned with a pink-and-white canopy, they added the finishing touches. Plush animals found their homes on shelves, soft blankets and quilts were neatly folded, and a cozy glider chair sat by the window, offering a place for late-night feedings and tender lullabies.The room was now a sanctuary of love and dreams, a place where their daughter would be cradled in the warmth of their hearts. They stood in the center of the room, hand in hand, their smiles reflecting the joy of this shared accomplishment.Summer gently rested her hand on her growing belly, feeling the subtle movements of the life within. "Our little girl is going to love this room," she said, her voice filled with w
Cameron's voice was laced with excitement as he chimed in again. "So, do you know if it's a boy or a girl?"A playful grin tugged at the corners of Summer's lips, even though her friends couldn't see it. "Ah, the million-dollar question, right? Well, we're keeping it a surprise for now. But trust me, I'll let you know as soon as we find out."Legacy's laughter echoed through the connection, a testament to the camaraderie that had been woven through the years. "We'll be waiting for that update, Sum."As the conversation flowed, Summer felt the distance between them fade. It was as if their voices were dancing on the same wavelength, a symphony of friendship that defied geographical boundaries. She could almost picture Legacy's thoughtful nod and Cameron's easy smile as they shared in her joy.In that moment, surrounded by the invisible threads of their bond, Summer knew that even though they were far apart, they were closer than ever. With Luca's progress, her pregnancy, and the storie
They move together rhythmically, their bodies slick with sweat as they both approach their climax. "Fuck," Osiris groans out loud as he feels himself getting closer and closer to the edge.Summer's eyes roll back in ecstasy as she comes undone around him, tightening around his dick so hard that it sends him over the edge too.They lay there panting for a few moments before Osiris rolls off of Summer and pulls her into his arms. "That was. amazing," she says breathlessly.Days passed by, and Osiris once again immersed himself in the intricacies of running his company. The office became a stage for his calculated movements and strategic decisions, his presence commanding the attention of his employees like a maestro leading an orchestra. The scent of freshly printed documents wafted through the air, mingling with the faint hum of computers and the soft rustling of papers as they were shuffled around.Meanwhile, at home, Summer's role had shifted from business partner to caregiver. She w
Summer and Osiris guided Luca upstairs, their presence a comforting anchor for him as he navigated the transition from the sterile hospital environment to the familiarity of his room. The staircase seemed to creak with joy beneath their steps, as if acknowledging their return. Luca's room awaited him, its door slightly ajar, as if anticipating his arrival.With a mixture of apprehension and relief, Luca settled onto his bed. The room enveloped him in its embrace, the scent of his own pillow and the softness of the sheets beneath him offering a balm for his tired soul. The afternoon sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm and gentle glow on everything it touched.As Summer and Osiris lingered in the doorway, their gazes filled with a mixture of pride and concern, they exchanged a silent understanding. Luca needed this moment, a space to process all that had transpired. Their absence was a gift, a sign of their unwavering love and trust in his strength.The room seemed to
The familiar sights greeted him—palm trees swaying in the breeze, a sky painted with hues of pink and orange as the sun began to set."Hey, welcome to Singapore," Legacy said, his voice laced with a mix of pride and nostalgia.Cameron's lips curved into a genuine smile. "Thanks, ‘Pa."As they exited the airport, the city unfolded before them. The towering skyscrapers, the bustling streets, and the vibrant cultural diversity were all part of the tapestry that made up Singapore. It was a place where the old seamlessly blended with the new, creating a unique and dynamic landscape.Cameron's thoughts swirled with a blend of emotions. Outside the airport, they hailed a car rental and were driven to their house in Singapore. After a few hours, they finally arrived at their destination. Unlocking the door, they stepped inside and turned on the lights, illuminating their new temporary home. With a sense of familiarity, they began to unload their belongings and settle in.As they sorted throu
Cameron's voice cracked with emotion as he hugged Osiris back. "I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me and I'm so sorry for all the trouble I've caused, especially to your son, Sir."Osiris patted Cameron's back, his voice filled with reassurance. "Don't apologize, Cam. We're in this together. We'll face whatever comes and this dude right here, he’s fighting I know. Who knows? He’s just pranking us and he just wanted to have some good sleep and truancy."Everyone did their best to even make a smile at least just to support Osiris’ joke trying to lighten up the mood.Legacy, who had been silently observing, stepped forward and joined the embrace. "We've got your back, always."Cameron cleared his throat, finally finding the words to say what he wanted to say the most. "Hey, guys. Would you mind giving us a minute? If that’s okay to you… for me… to… have a moment alone with Luca?"Summer, Osiris, and Legacy exchanged nods of approval, giving Cameron the space he need
"Let's eat, son," Legacy repeated again, assuming his son was still processing what he said earlier.Cameron nodded and silently followed his father's lead, matching his steps. While he had been freed from the confines of a coma, he still felt trapped, unable to find happiness.At the dining table, they sat in silence. The clinking of utensils against plates filled the air as they began to eat. Legacy looked at Cameron, concern evident in his eyes. "How are you feeling, Cam?"Cameron let out a sigh, putting down his fork. "I don't know, Papa. It's like... I'm physically here, but emotionally, I'm still locked away."Legacy nodded in understanding. "It's okay to feel that way, son. You've been through a lot."Cameron picked at his food, his thoughts distant. "I know, Papa. I'm just trying to make sense of everything."Legacy reached out and placed a reassuring hand on Cameron's shoulder. "You don't have to figure it all out right now. Healing takes time."Cameron looked up at his fathe
Legacy remained a steady presence, offering never-failing support to both Summer and Osiris. His encouragement served as a lifeline, a reminder that they were not alone in their struggles and that their unity as a family was their greatest strength.With a gentle step back, Legacy allowed Summer and Cameron the space they needed for a heart-to-heart conversation. Mother and son faced each other, their eyes speaking volumes of unspoken emotions. As they spoke, their words carried the weight of the journey they had both endured, the challenges they had faced, and the unbreakable bond that held them together.Underneath the hospital's sterile lights and amidst the hum of medical equipment, they shared their thoughts, fears, and hopes. The air was thick with vulnerability, but also with a sense of healing and connection. The room seemed to shrink, encapsulating the intensity of their conversation.Summer's voice trembled as she leaned in, her embrace wrapping Cameron in a truss of love. "
