Love's Redemption Chapter 12
Jace's face stiffened slightly. "Last night, I was worried something might happen to Tanya. You know Desmond was his parents' only son. Now, the baby she's carrying is their whole hope. If something went wrong..."He didn't finish, but I got it."So, as long as it's about her, you'll always put her first, right?" I asked coldly.Jace was quiet for a couple of seconds before he said, "Once the baby's born, things will be different."I laughed.As I turned my head, the rising sun stung my eyes.I looked at him. "Jace, even after the baby's born, there will be other problems. The baby might get sick or have accidents. As long as you can use this kid as an excuse, you and Tanya will always be tangled up, and I'll always be the one you leave behind."Jace didn't say anything.I made my stance clear. "Jace, after getting married, I don't want my husband taking care of another woman every few days.""Rea, give me some time. I'll sort this out." Jace's eyes showed conflict."What is

The amusement park was almost finished, and I didn't want to bail at such a crucial time.Around noon, while I was organizing my stuff, Demi came up to me with a weird look on her face. "Keira, are you on your period?"I stared at her. "Why? Am I not allowed to?""No, no." Demi shook her head frantically. "I mean, Mr. Johnston's been in a terrible mood today. Guess he's just sexually frustrated."I paused, then realized what she meant.I tapped her head with my pen. "Focus on your work during work hours and stop with the nonsense."Demi giggled and handed me the report we reviewed at the site yesterday. "I'm not just making this up. Everyone's scared of Mr. Johnston today. Anyone who went into his office came out looking miserable."I remembered Jace angrily throwing the roses in the trash this morning. I couldn't tell if he was in a bad mood because I didn't let him off the hook like I usually do, or if it was because I talked about breaking up."Did you guys have a fight?" De

Tanya's face went pale, tears welling up in her eyes, making her look so pitiful. "Jace, you're tired of me, aren't you?" she asked, tears starting to fall.Jace stayed silent, a cold aura around him."But if Desmond were still here, I wouldn't be bothering you..." Tanya's voice had a desperate edge."Being bothered by you is one thing, but don't bother her," Jace said, referring to me.It looked like they were about to argue. I didn't know if I should stay or leave."I get it. I won't bother you anymore, or her," Tanya said, turning abruptly and walking out.This time, Jace didn't chase after her. He turned to me instead. I lowered my head slightly and started to walk away.Jace followed closely behind me. As we stepped out of the café, a loud screeching of brakes caught our attention.We both looked up to see Tanya being hit by a car coming out of a car park."Tanya!" Jace yelled, running toward her.I hesitated for a few seconds, then followed him."Jace, the baby..." Tan

Lena sensed I wasn't telling the whole truth but didn't press further. "Alright, I'll let you know if there's any news. By the way, where are you going tonight? If you don't want to go back to the Johnston residence, you can stay at my place."Lena was on the night shift tonight, so staying at her place made the most sense.I really didn't want to go back to the Johnston residence, especially since Jace and I were sharing a room now.But crashing at Lena's place forever wasn't a great idea either. Even though she didn't have a boyfriend, everyone needs their own space."Alright," I agreed. Until I found somewhere else, her place was better than a hotel.Even though I had a spot at Lena's for the night, I didn't head straight there. Instead, I drove to Emberholm.Emberholm was an old town, but it was still home to a lot of people, mostly renters, because the rent was cheap.I came here because my parents' apartment was here. Before my parents passed away, the three of us lived he

"Keira, please don't get the wrong idea."Tanya's words almost made me laugh.Remembering what she said earlier about her "boyfriend's" preference for bed linens, it turned out she was talking about Jace."Is this for Jace?" I asked, glancing at the bed linens she picked. Blue and gray—totally his favorite colors.But that was back then. Now, thanks to me, his taste had brightened up a lot.Tanya bit her lip and hesitated for a few seconds before shaking her head. "No, don't get the wrong idea, it's for my brother."I was too tired to deal with her games, so I cut to the chase. "So Jace is moving in with you now?"Didn't he say he couldn't let Tanya's baby get hurt? Watching over her all the time seemed like the next step."How can you say that?" Tanya snapped."You're even buying his bed linens. How can I not say that?" I shot back, mocking her."You're too jealous. Jace won't like that," she replied, making me laugh."Why are you laughing?" Her innocent, wary eyes were fix

Although Tanya's presence had been annoying, it didn't ruin my appetite. I enjoyed a large plate of creamy pasta before heading back to the office.As soon as I got there, I received a call from Lindey. I hadn't been home for two days, so it was normal for her to call. "Hey, Lindey.""Rea, don't stay at your friend's place too long. Come home tonight. I made gnocchi with cumin and ground beef," Lindey said, making me smile.It seemed Jace had already come up with an excuse for my absence.I had decided to move back to the apartment in Emberholm, so I had to go to the Johnston place to pack my stuff. I told Lindey, "I'll be back tonight," and left it at that.As the workday was ending, Demi came up to me. "Keira, you doing okay?""Why wouldn't I be?" I asked, puzzled."Office gossip. Ignore it. I've seen how much Mr. Johnston cares about you," Demi said, hiding her phone behind her back."Hand it over," I said, my tone serious.Reluctantly, Demi gave me her phone and opened the

My heart was touched. Even though I was a foster child in this family, Jace's parents treated me with the same care and love as their own daughter. They made me feel like one of them.I remembered Jace's brother, Wayne, joking that ever since I joined the family, both he and Jace had been knocked down the pecking order.Lena was right. I could break up with Jace, but breaking away from his family would be much harder.I took a deep breath and pushed the door open.Everyone's eyes turned to me, and Lindey quickly got up and came over. "Rea, you're back. We were just waiting for you to have dinner.""Hey Lindey, Matthew," I greeted them. Jace, who had been kicked by Matthew, stood up and came over.He took my bag. "Why are you back so late?""I played some pool," I said. I knew Steve would tell him about our meeting, so there was no point in hiding it.Jace frowned a bit. "Next time you want to go, call me to join."He didn't like me hanging out for fun, especially without him.

Gavin Lawson was his secretary.I stayed quiet, and Jace looked down. "Rea, what do you want me to do? Just tell me, okay?"He sounded powerless, helpless, even somewhat despondent. Seeing him like this was rare."Jace, we've broken up. You don't need to worry about this. Take care of her however you want," I said.He shook his head and stepped closer, trapping me between the sink and his chest. "Don't even think about it. We're getting our marriage certificate tomorrow.""Jace, do you really want to marry me?" I remembered the conversation he had with Steve and spoke directly. "We know each other too well. So well that you have no interest in even sleeping with me, right?""I told you it was just a joke. That night, I was—""Jace," I interrupted him, not wanting to revisit that night, "that night is a shadow that will haunt me for the rest of my life. Do you get that?"His eyes narrowed, and he asked helplessly, "What do you want me to do so you'll forgive me and not break up?

Lena had just finished with her last patient and was finally about to sip her water when a knock interrupted her peace."Come in!" she called, expecting another patient.The door swung open, and the moment Lena saw who it was, her stomach dropped."Mom?!" she blurted. "What are you doing here?""I'm here to see a doctor!" Carol's tone wasn't exactly friendly.Lena craned her neck, glancing at the hallway behind her mom. "Where's Dad? Didn't he come with you?"Carol scoffed. "There's a sign outside that says no men allowed, isn't there?"Lena laughed. "That doesn't apply to Dad.""What, is he not a man?" Carol shot back.Lena's smile froze. Great. Mom wasn't just here—she was on a mission.For weeks now, her parents had been nagging her to move back home. Lena hadn't budged—she'd even stopped answering their calls. It looked like Carol had reached her breaking point and decided to stage a full-on ambush."Mom," Lena started, trying to sound professional, "I'm at work. If you

"The Hart family wants me to come back," Hayden said. I immediately got it without him needing to explain further.The Harts had stayed weirdly quiet through all the chaos Hayden had been through. Why? No clue."What are you thinking?" I asked. Then, with a sly smile, added, "Let me guess—you don't want to go, but you feel like you should?"Hayden noticed I wasn't eating and nudged my plate closer. "Eat first.""Talk, and I'll eat," I shot back.He pushed my favorite dishes right in front of me. "No one can make me do something I don't want to.""Then it's me you're worried about?" I asked, the thought hitting me mid-bite.Hayden didn't answer, which, of course, was the answer. My mind raced for a moment before I teased, "Wait—don't tell me going back means you'd have to marry Yara?"Hayden sighed. "The Hart heir and the Drago heir are supposed to marry. It's been decided for years."So if he didn't want that, all he had to do was step down as the Hart heir. Easy, right? Excep

I was laughing so hard my sides hurt, tears streaming down my face. Lena just sat there, arms crossed, waiting for me to finish."You good now? Because I actually need your help."If Lena was asking me for advice, she must've been really stuck. Normally, she's the one with all the answers."Okay," I said, catching my breath. "First, spill. Does Nate even still have a shot?"She grabbed an orange off the table and started peeling it. "What do you think?"When she's done with someone, she's done. No second chances, no rewrites. Nate clearly hadn't gotten that memo, though, because here he was, pulling out all the stops to win her back.And then there was Aaron—her technically-not-really-blood-related uncle and childhood friend. Cue the awkward-family-ties-turned-unexpected-complication drama."If you're not giving Nate any hope, just move in with your uncle," I said.She arched a brow. "Why?""Because Nate's literally working at this hospital to be near you. Daytime interactions

"Uncle Aaron, did you stir things up with my parents?" Lena asked.Aaron didn't bother denying it, and his silence was all the answer she needed."Aaron Ace! Are you kidding me? I trusted you!"Her voice echoed with frustration, but deep down, Lena knew arguing was pointless. Carol and Gabriel weren't exactly known for backing down. If she couldn't convince them to chill, they'd probably show up at the hospital and haul her home themselves.Taking a breath, Lena tried a different approach. "Okay, what's it gonna take for me to not move back home?"Aaron's answer was maddeningly casual. "Stay at my place."Lena blinked, stunned into silence."Just for a bit," Aaron added. "Once your parents ease up, you can go back to your apartment."Lena's stomach did a little flip. Living with Aaron? Yeah, no thanks. Sure, things weren't as awkward between them anymore, but this? Way too weird.Still, her options were basically nonexistent."I'll think about it," Lena said, even though she

In this world, only one person had ever called her "Twinkle"—Aaron. And that had been a relic of their shared childhood.Nate's gaze shifted to Aaron, and his hand fell back to his side. "Uncle Aaron.""Professor Neumann," Aaron replied coolly. "Given your current situation, you can just call me Mr. Ace." His words were a subtle reminder that Nate's connection to Lena was no longer valid.Aaron then turned to Lena. "If it's convenient, I'd like to talk to you about something.""Sure," Lena agreed, glancing at Nate briefly before walking off with Aaron.Standing beside Aaron, who loomed over her like a shadow, Lena looked smaller than usual. "Is this about my parents?"Since returning, Carol and Gabriel had been pushing her to move back home, claiming it was the only way they'd feel at ease. Even her grandparents had joined in."They want to know if you've thought it through," Aaron said, confirming her suspicion.Lena put on a tone of consideration. "I don't want to move back,"

Lena gave me a quick glance and smiled. "Don't worry, the baby's doing great. I'll check on you again later."***After leaving my room, Lena headed straight to the director's office. The moment she stepped inside, her breath caught—Nate was sitting on the couch next to Dr. Warren.But Lena, ever composed, quickly recovered. "Dr. Warren. Professor Neumann."The formal title hit Nate like a punch. He wanted to call her Lena, but the name stuck in his throat."Dr. Lane, please take a seat," Dr. Warren said warmly, gesturing to the chair next to Nate.Lena sat down, calm and professional, while Dr. Warren's gaze bounced between the two of them, clearly sensing the tension."You already know Professor Neumann, so I'll skip introductions," Dr. Warren began. "He's made a groundbreaking breakthrough in fetal cardiac correction during pregnancy, and he's chosen our hospital as the pilot site. Dr. Lane, you'll be collaborating closely with him on this project."Lena's heart clenched. Sh
Love's Redemption Chapter 844
I never imagined the boy who had shaped so much of my life would one day wear the robes of a Harmonist guide, dedicating himself to a life of reflection.Jace had cut himself off from the chaos of the world. Whether it was peace or simply his way of escaping love and attachment, he'd left everything—and everyone—behind.***After returning from Cloudscape Monastery, I fell ill. A relentless fever knocked me out for two days, leaving me trapped in a swirl of disjointed dreams—my parents, Matthew, Lindey, Jace, Wayne... all of them.In the dream, it felt like I was drowning. No matter how hard I tried to wake up, something kept pulling me deeper.At some point, I thought I heard voices. Jace's. Hayden's. Were they real? They spoke in muffled tones I couldn't make out.But when Jace left—if he was ever really there—the dreams stopped.***When I finally opened my eyes, sunlight flooded the room, blindingly warm. I raised my hand to block it, but my fingers brushed against somethin
Love's Redemption Chapter 843
This wasn't unfamiliar. I'd been here countless times with Jace over the years, sitting through gatherings at Cloudscape Monastery.But I never imagined I'd one day be sitting here, listening to him deliver a sermon—not as Jace Johnston, but as a spiritual guide of the Harmonist faith.Hayden helped me into a seat quietly, and Jace began to speak, reciting teachings from Harmonism. But I couldn't focus. Not a single word registered.I just watched him, piecing together his recent strange behavior. It all made sense now—he'd been on this path for a long time. Even while dealing with the chaos around him, his heart had already detached from the world.That's why, when his parents died, he didn't grieve or lash out. He just... accepted it. Jace had let go of everything, seeing life and death as part of some larger cycle.When his sermon ended, he walked over to us.Tears spilled down my cheeks before I could stop them. "Jace... how could you do this?"I thought I'd made peace with

"Do you want the truth?" Hayden's voice was calm."You promised you wouldn't lie to me," I replied, bitterness creeping into my tone as I threw his broken promise back at him."Kiki, I lied before because I didn't have a choice," he said, his eyes locked on mine, clear and unflinching. "But from now on, I swear I'll never lie to you again."I dropped my gaze. "Let's not talk about the future anymore."I forced a faint smile. "Let's just focus on the present."When I was little, my parents painted big dreams of the future for me, but they were gone before any of it could happen. Jace promised me forever, then shattered it. Even Wayne once vowed to always take care of me, only for his love to spiral into something dark and possessive.And Hayden? He said forever, too—right before almost marrying someone else.So, no. I don't think about the future anymore. I don't trust it. All I want is to live in the now.Hayden's face clouded for a second before he nodded. "Alright."When he
