1. Happy Family
Wynter's Point of view:
"Ewww," I scrunched up my nose as I noticed Daddy kissing Mama Iris on the neck.
These two can't keep their hands off each other, and they occasionally forget they have three children and start doing everything openly.
Mama Iris is in the kitchen right now preparing my breakfast, and Daddy has his hands around her from behind, as if his life depended on her. It does, and no matter how cute they appear, Harris or Hunter may barge in at any time, and I enjoy teasing them every time.
"Princess," Daddy said, not letting go of mom Iris. How adorable are these two, however he had to let her go quickly since Mama Iris was embarrassed and stabbed her elbow on his side, as she always did.
"Ouch," Daddy grumbled, and I burst out laughing.
"You like taking her side, don't you?" Daddy grumbled. "And why did you hit me, Sab?"
"Because you wouldn't let me go, and I've told you so many times that kids roam the home, but you don't have to listen to me, and you even distracted me by..." she came to a halt when she realized I was still standing there.
"Whatever these two ladies enjoy harassing me with, at least my boys will support me," Daddy stated proudly.
"They are mama's guys, and they will not side with you," Mama Iris chuckled.
"Okay, you both remember I am still here and I am getting late because I have courses all day," I said, bored.
"Yes, baby, sit here, I've got the breakfast ready, and we can all leave together," I said as I sat at the table, while Mama Iris went to get our food and Dad went to get ready for work.
I poured myself a glass of water and was about to sip it when Harris took the glass from me and gulped the water.
"Thank you so much," he said with a foolish smile. This jerk is continually trying to irritate me.
Harris is my younger sibling. I'm nineteen, he's fourteen, and he'll be fifteen next month. His hobbies involve bothering me, but I have to admit that I enjoy it as well, and fighting with him always raises my mood.
I know it's weird, but we're the best of friends, and if there's anyone I share all my secrets with after Mama Iris, it's Harris.
"Harris Can't you fetch yourself some water? "I huff.
"No, I couldn't," he laughed. "Anyway, had you kept the fridge open?" he inquired.
"Don't tell me you ate my ice cream," I said as I stood up, and he did as well.
He gradually began to back away, and I know he did it.
I began walking approach him. "You did it, didn't you?" he began running away from me, and I began after him.
I would have justified it if it had been another time, but Harris has colds all the time and it has only been a few days since he recovered from flu, so we don't let him have cold things, but he, like everyone else in the family, can't resist the impulse to eat ice cream.
"Okay, okay, I didn't have it, I was just teasing you," he laughed.
\
Something or rather someone tugged on my coat as I was about to give him an earful.
"Wyn Wyn, what happened?" Hunter, my baby brother, was asking in his cute voice.
He is only five years old and the apple of everyone's eye in this family. He is the boss baby and none of us can resist his sweetness. If you believe I or Harris were cute at this age, Hunter would defy all limits of cuteness.
After Harris was born, Mama Iris had some issues, and doctors told her she couldn't get pregnant. Though she was a little unhappy at first, she was glad that she had both Harris and me, but six years ago, this miracle happened, and we were all ecstatic.
My five-year-old son Hunter and I are partners in crime, and we frequently annoy Harris.
He calls me Wyn Wyn since he couldn't pronounce my name when he was younger, and even though his pronunciation is pretty clear now, he is still used to it.
"Look, Hunter, Harris, he ate all our ice cream," I said, grinning at Harris.
"When did I do that? I told you I was only mocking you," Harris promptly said.
Hunter would not let this go easy, he knew. "Mamaaaa!" Hunter yelled. "Daddy!" I sneered at Harris as they both dashed away.
"You asked for this," I said, folding my arms and laughing at him.
"What happened, Hun?" said Mama Iris and Daddy. Mama Iris inquired, undoubtedly knowing what went wrong, but her mother instincts couldn't help but worry about him.
"Look, Mama, Harris had mine and Wyn Wyn's ice cream," he pointed out, pointing to Harris.
"What!" Mama Iris exclaimed as she looked at Harris. "Mama, I didn't. I was only teasing Wynter," he said as he backed away.
"Is it?" Mama Iris asked, turning to face me.
"Okay, I don't know what happened, but I think he's speaking the truth," I surrendered and raised my hands. "Mama, look, they always team up against me, and you believe them," Harris pouted.
"No, Baby, I was worried you have recovered just now," Mama Harris huffed as Iris cupped his cheeks.
I laughed as I looked at Hunter. "And you two," she said as she turned to face us, and we stopped laughing. Hunter crept up behind me.
"And you two, you're getting out of hand, and I think I should punish you," Mama Iris said, fixing her gaze on us.
"Sab, let it go. They're only kids, let them have fun," Dad urged.
"No, Arman, they're getting out of hand. They always bother my poor Harris, that's why they're not getting any ice cream today," Mama Iris explained.
"What!!" Hunter and I both exclaimed at the same time.
"Yes, you heard me correctly," she said as she walked away.
Hunter made a crying face, which was enough to make me and Daddy cry.
"Don't worry, champ, I'll get us some ice cream on our way home, and we can have it alone," I said into his ear.
We are both ice cream addicts who cannot go a day without it.
"Okay, go now and get dressed, and I'll go check on Ellies," I said, referring to a neighboring kindergarten and Ellies, my pet dog.
I was four when Daddy purchased him for me, and he was a puppy at the time. He is all grown up, and I am very devoted to Elly.
He is a chowchow dog that is fifteen years old right now. I know he appears to be quite old, but he is quite healthy and active, possibly because anything I learn I apply to him and keep him in good health.
Yes, I am nearly a veterinarian. Almost, because I will have my qualifications in one month and will then be able to operate my own hospital.
That is what I learned from Mama Iris, to follow my passion and become what my heart desires. And Mama Iris always used to tell me that no matter how rich we are, we should never take that for granted. Instead, we should make our own identity rather than being identified as our parents' children, which is why we all stay away from limelights except for dad because his business requires his constant social presence, which is why he has to be there. Whenever it demands, he takes Mama Iris along sometimes, and Harris joins them. Still, I prefer to stay away from that chaotic life instead. I like a simple one without anyone putting their nose in my business.
Like Mama Iris, even though her parents were billionaires, she was never known by their names, nor did she stop herself from pursuing her dreams because she thought she had all the comforts in the world. Though Mama Iris was more wealthy than Daddy, she transferred everything to Daddy and on us, but she stopped reporting due to the threat she posed to our lives as a result of her profession, but she still does all of the editing and concept planning in uncle Mike and uncle Chris's firm, and they three are best friends.
And she spends all of her leisure time at JKs, one of the biggest restaurant franchises in Manhattan and Chicago.
Mama Iris took over as the sole daughter after my grandparents died, and since then she has been managing JK alongside her career, while Daddy assists her with everything, not to mention Harris.
Even though he is just fifteen, he has some robotic mentality, and all he thinks about is business, which is why Mama Iris and Daddy take him along after school. Perhaps he can take over JK's and soon surpass Daddy in business in only a few years.
That's all for my family, and I consider myself fortunate to have them. I'm not sure what I would have done without Mama Iris.
Yes, she is not the mother from whom I was born, yet I never felt the absence of Mommy after she died. Denissa was her name, and I miss her in a good manner, perhaps because I didn't have her presence from the beginning; only when I saw other kids with parents did I crave motherly affection, but after I found Mama Iris, that void was also filled.
She has always been my best friend, and I don't keep any secrets from her because she is the only one who can advise me, but there is one thing I have kept from her, and when the perfect time comes, I will tell her.
I sighed and went to the dining table, where we finished our breakfast and parted ways.
Daddy dropped Harris off at school, and I grabbed my car and dropped Hunter off at kindergarten on my way out the door. Mama Iris usually drops him off, but she was running late today.
"Bye, Wyn Wyn," Hunter said as he waved goodbye.
"Bye, Hunter, I'll pick you up later," I waved as I waited for him to enter, and as soon as his instructor waved back, I was on my way.
As soon as I stepped onto the college grounds, there was standing at the gate, hands folded, waiting for me.
"Sean Albert"

So, while all of my angels who have read "Dreams Come True" have met Harris, Hunter is a surprise for everyone.
I hope you liked the chapter.
Thank you for sticking with me. I love all of you.. . .
It would mean the absolute world to me if you can give "Dreams Come True" a chance I am sure you will love it.
You can read the free chapters and decide for yourself if you want to continue.
Ps: I will try a way to bring Dreams Come True somewhere till then I would request you all to hold on with me.

2. SeanSean eagerly awaited Wynter's arrival, as was his routine, to catch a glimpse of her before heading to their lessons."Hey Sean," greeted Wynter cheerfully as she embraced him. Sean reciprocated by gently rubbing her back."You seem quite cheerful today," Sean remarked, noticing Wynter's upbeat demeanor."Oh, just Hunter and I having our usual fun teasing Harris," Wynter chuckled, reminiscing about the morning's events. Her mornings typically involved banter with Sabrina, followed by affectionate gestures.Sean chuckled, "Poor guy, always getting into trouble because of you two."Although Sean had never met any of Wynter's family members, he was familiar with the 'Kings.'Despite Wynter's persistent invitations to introduce him to her family, Sean consistently declined, leaving everyone puzzled about his reasons."Come on, we're running late," Sean urged as he grasped her hand and led the way to their classes.Their public displays of affection, like holding hands and occasiona
3. Off Vibes"What's going on here?" Sean and Wynter stepped back at the sound of Sabrina's voice.Sabrina was taken aback to find an unfamiliar person in her daughter's room, especially in such an intimate setting."Mama Iris!" Wynter's eyes widened as she realized Sabrina had caught her in this situation. She disliked keeping secrets from Sabrina, and the way Sabrina had discovered the truth made her stomach churn.Sabrina turned to Sean, who sported a proud expression rather than one of guilt."Mrs. King, I'd like to introduce myself..." Sean started, but Wynter cut him off."We'll talk later," Wynter signaled.Sabrina clasped her hands and gazed at Sean with a discerning eye."Wynter, show him the way out, then come to our room. Your father and I would like to have a word with you," Sabrina said, heightening Wynter's worry. She had never seen her Mama Iris, so furious.Sabrina, being a logical and supportive person who would encourage her daughter in anything, sensed something amis
4. BreakupWynter was shocked to see Sean with Suzy by his side as he exited the car, and fear gripped her, worrying that something terrible had happened to him. The situation took an even more surprising turn when Sean openly kissed Suzy in the middle of the college, seemingly unconcerned about being seen. This behavior was in stark contrast to how he usually avoided being near Wynter at college and emphasized the risk of being noticed.Wynter, paralyzed by shock, struggled to comprehend what she witnessed. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her heart broke into pieces. Despite her initial shock, she mustered her courage and decided to confront Sean. Even as Wynter approached, Sean remained with Suzy, unmoved."S-Sean, what's happening here?" Wynter questioned him, her voice filled with a mix of confusion and anger. However, Sean stayed silent, offering no explanation to Wynter's probing."Sean, come with me. We need to talk," Wynter stated firmly, leading the way to a secluded area whe
5. Pregnant and BetrayedWynter trembled as she perused the pregnancy report. The realization of her pregnancy at such a young age, compounded by the ongoing heartbreak, caught her off guard.Initially, she contemplated confiding in her mother but hesitated, fearing judgment. The echoes of her parents' warnings about being cautious around him reverberated in her mind, highlighting missed cues.Tears streamed down her cheeks as she sank to the ground, enveloped in uncertainty. Lost in a whirlwind of emotions, she grappled with the overwhelming situation.Collecting herself, Wynter made a firm decision to reach out to Sean the following day to address their issues. Should reconciliation prove elusive, she steeled herself for the possibility of considering other options.A sudden knock at the door startled Wynter, causing her to tremble. "Are you awake, Wynter?" Sabrina's voice called out, prompting Wynter to swiftly compose herself before facing the unexpected visitor.Wynter took a deep
6. ConfrontationWynter lay in her hospital bed, lost in thought as she stared at the monitor, wishing for someone to support her in making the right decision. With trembling steps, she had just swiped her card and entered the room."Okay, Wynter, are you sure about your decision, or is there any external influence?" The doctor's inquiry made Wynter gulp nervously as she shook her head in response."Alright, let me explain the process since there's no turning back now. Since you're still in your first trimester, the abortion process is relatively straightforward as the baby is not fully developed. No surgery is required; regular medication will be sufficient," the doctor explained, suggesting an additional scan to assess Wynter's body's readiness for the prescribed medication."Okay, I'm ready," Wynter nodded, feeling a shiver pass through her chest, questioning her decision.Wynter gasped as she observed the movements on the screen after the doctor activated the equipment. As a medica
7. Arrangements"Harris, you'd better take that box and put it in the appropriate place right away," Wynter snapped, issuing orders to him.Three months had passed since the tragedy, and Wynter had moved on with her life, putting Sean behind her.She came to the realization that letting go of Sean was the wisest choice as she matured. It was time to forget about him.She understood that even if she had ended up with him, their future wouldn't have matched the one Wynter had envisioned. Therefore, she chose to raise the child alone without informing Sean of its existence.Having completed the necessary legal procedures by presenting the case to their lawyer, they happily informed Wynter that she would be solely responsible for raising her baby.So, a week after completing her internships, they were getting ready to open Wynter's veterinary clinic, which explained the chaos during the setup.Her family was always there to assist her with anything she needed."Mama Iris, Where should I pl
8. Stranger "Hey there, I hope you're feeling better now." Wynter gently stroked the fur of the beautiful white cat before her."Olive is doing well at the moment. He's started eating and seems quite occupied with his toys," the woman who brought the cat informed Wynter during the check-up.It had been nearly a week since the hospital's opening. Everything was running smoothly, and Ethan had already attracted his regular clients from his previous job. This was a significant advantage for them as Ethan's exceptional skills quickly earned him a loyal following. People specifically requested Ethan or someone he recommended to care for their pets, which benefited Wynter as she learned a great deal from observing him.Despite his playful behavior towards her, Ethan was highly dedicated to his profession. When it came to his work, he displayed a whole different level of seriousness and commitment.Unlike Wynter, Ethan has transformed into a close friend. Wynter recently discovered that Etha
9. Captivating Eyes Wynter's behavior was out of character, as she snapped at the stranger in front of her. Only then did she get a decent view of his face. She couldn't deny that he was incredibly attractive, the most attractive person she had ever seen.He resembled a Greek deity, with a strong jawline, a pointed nose, and a bit of stubble covering his handsome face. However, his eyes were what truly captivated Wynter. They were the most mesmerizing eyes she had ever seen, not just because of their outward beauty but also because they seemed to hold a multitude of emotions within them."I am, however, it seems that the tag fits you better," the stranger retorted angrily, furrowing his brow. Wynter was both irritated and puzzled by his remarks. "Huh? What do you mean?" she said, frowning."If you can't tell by my condition, I'm really blind, but I think you'd need your eyes tested first for not walking correctly and then for blaming the person you should be grateful for," the person
To my dear readers,I want to begin by expressing my deepest gratitude to you, even though there may not be many of you. Your support, no matter how small, has meant everything to me. When I first set out to write "Blinded Dreams," my goal was to craft a unique storyline that would resonate with those who read it. It has taken me 1.5 years to finally complete this book, and I’m overwhelmed with joy to be able to say that it is now finished.Writing this book has been one of the hardest and most rewarding experiences of my life. During the course of crafting this story, I faced some of the darkest and most difficult phases in my personal journey.Every chapter, every word, was part of my own catharsis, and it is with a full heart that I share this with you today.This will be the last book in the Dreams series. The journey of Shadrach, Wynter, and the others has come to its beautiful conclusion, and I have no intentions of returning to continue their story. As much as I’m sad to close t
EpilogueSabrina's POVThe soft hum of violins played on, weaving a melody that seemed to mirror the emotions swirling within me—excitement, love, and a hint of nervousness. The garden was nothing short of magical, bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun. White roses and blush-pink peonies bordered the aisle like nature’s embrace, their fragrance soothing yet invigorating.This was it—the moment I had dreamed of all my life. I was marrying Shadrach.Taking a deep breath, I tried to steady the fluttering in my chest. Beside me, Mama Iris adjusted my veil with a delicate touch. Her hands trembled slightly, and her eyes shimmered with unshed tears.“You look beautiful, my love,” she said, her voice trembling. “I can’t believe you’re getting married already. I just wish Denissa was here to see this.”Tears welled up in my eyes, but I held them back. “Thank you, Mama Iris,” I whispered. “I wish she were here too, but having you with me means everything.” My thoughts wandered briefly t
73. Blinded DreamsShadrach's POVIt’s been a month since all the chaos unfolded, and life has finally settled into a calm rhythm. Things feel normal again. Wynter has officially moved into my penthouse at Jackson Tower. Although I insisted that Ethan stay with us—after all, this place belongs to him as much as it does to me—he refused, saying that I was the one who had truly contributed to the growth of Jackson Enterprises, even when things were at their most vulnerable.Still, I was persistent, and he eventually agreed to move into the flat just below my penthouse. He seems satisfied with that arrangement, and I’m happy to have him close.For the first time, this penthouse feels like home. Wynter, however, insists that we also spend time at the house she bought for herself. When I suggested renting it out, she outright refused, saying it held sentimental value for her. With no other option, we’ve made a habit of spending our weekends there. It’s a compromise, but one I don’t mind for
72. The Ultimate RevelationThird Person's POVTravis stood frozen, shock and dread coursing through him. Miller’s words had reopened wounds he had buried deep within himself. The realization of how close he had come to losing Wynter—the person he cherished most in the world—gripped him like a vice. If Miller hadn’t arrived in time, Wynter might have met the same fate as Denissa. The mere thought of it flashed vividly before his eyes, making his knees feel weak.Meanwhile, Sabrina had rushed to Wynter, pulling her into a protective embrace. Her hands moved swiftly over Wynter’s body, inspecting her from head to toe for any signs of injury. When she found none, she exhaled in relief, her grip on Wynter tightening for a moment as if to reassure herself that she was unharmed."Mama Iris, where’s Storm?" Wynter asked, her voice trembling but steady enough to break the silence."He’s safe, sweetheart," Sabrina reassured her. "Harris is with him, waiting for you to come back."Wynter nodded
71. SavedThird Person's POVA piercing gunshot echoed through the air, making Wynter and Shadrach scream in fear.Wynter instinctively shut her eyes, bracing for the searing pain she was certain would come, expecting her soul to quit her body at any moment. But the impact never came. Confused, she slowly opened her eyes, her heart pounding. Another scream—this one agonizing—rang out, followed by a second gunshot.Her mind raced. Was the danger closing in on her and Shadrach? Or was it happening elsewhere, through the phone? The uncertainty was maddening.Both Wynter and Shadrach opened their eyes simultaneously, relief washing over them when they saw each other unharmed. The chaos around them was overwhelming, but one thing became clear: Sean, who had been holding a gun, now clutched his hand, blood pouring from it. His shoulder had also taken a hit, rendering him incapacitated.While Wynter tried to steady herself, Shadrach assessed the situation. Men surrounded him, guns drawn and
70. Fighting For LoveThird Person's POVWhen Shadrach learned of Wynter’s kidnapping, his first suspicion fell on his uncles. No one else harbored the grudge or the resources to hurt her this way. Deep down, he knew this wasn’t just about her—it was their attempt to exact revenge on him.He felt a crushing wave of shame. Not once, but twice, he had failed to protect Wynter. And for that, he vowed to make things right, no matter the cost.Shadrach began heading out of the clinic when Travis intercepted him."Shadrach!" Travis called, stepping in front of him. "Where are you going?"Shadrach’s eyes burned with determination. "I know where I need to go, and I promise you this—when I come back, Wynter will be with me."He turned to Sabrina, his voice softening. "Mrs. King, I don’t even need to say this, but please take care of Storm while I’m gone."Sabrina nodded silently, holding back tears.Without waiting for a reply, Shadrach strode out, heading to his car. He started the engine wit
69. Old EnemiesWynter's POVWhen I opened my eyes, I found myself tied to a chair. My hands and legs were bound tightly, and my mouth was gagged, making it impossible to speak.I tried to piece together what had happened. The phone call with Ethan... the men barging into the clinic... being dragged out at gunpoint. I remembered trying to resist, only to be struck with the barrel of a gun, everything going black after that.Now, I was here, in complete darkness, unable to make out my surroundings. I tried to scream, but the gag muffled any sound I made.My eyes adjusted to the dim light and wandered toward the darkest corner of the room. I squinted, focusing hard. Someone was seated there, in the shadows. I couldn’t make out their face or even discern if it was a man or a woman.Then, the figure stood and began walking toward me. The sound of their shoes clicking against the floor echoed in the silence, sending a chill down my spine. I squinted harder, and when they stepped into the f
68. KidnappedShadrach's POV"Thank you, Mr. King. I really owe you for this one," I said earnestly over the phone, my voice thick with gratitude.Mr. King had just forwarded the proof I desperately needed to confirm my suspicions. My uncles were behind my parents’ murder. I hadn’t expected him to uncover the truth so quickly, but the detailed statements he had sent via email were undeniable.He explained that he had used his connections in Chicago to pressure the burglars, who were serving life sentences for the crime. Originally, they had claimed the murders were accidental—that they’d entered our home for a robbery and killed my family when confronted. But under Mr. King’s pressure, they admitted the truth: my uncles had bribed them to carry out the killings."As long as my daughter is happy with you, you don’t owe me anything," Mr. King replied in his deep, authoritative voice. Yet, beneath his calm tone, there was an unspoken warning that sent a chill through me."I promise I wil
67. Back To ManhattanOn their way back to Manhattan, Wynter couldn’t stop marveling at her engagement ring. She kept stealing glances at it, her eyes sparkling with excitement.“Mama Iris is going to be so shocked!” Wynter exclaimed as they passed through the bustling streets of the city.Shadrach, focused on the road, glanced at her and smiled warmly. “Maybe that’s the kind of shock your father needs to reassure him that I don’t plan on leaving your side anytime soon,” he chuckled.Wynter turned to him, curiosity brimming in her eyes. “Speaking of Dad, how did your meeting with him go? What did he say? I know he can be... intimidating.” Her words came out in a rush, barely giving her time to breathe.“Breathe, Griz. Take it easy,” Shadrach laughed. “I won’t lie, though—your dad is very intimidating. He’s got this aura, like he’s some mafia boss and not a CEO. Are you sure he’s not into something... shady?” He teased, though his tone carried genuine intrigue.Wynter let out a small l
