“Mommy, why haven’t you come yet,” Charlie muttered to himself, his small voice lost in the chaos of the bustling schoolyard.At that moment, a woman in a black dress with long flowing hair appeared, her steps unhurried. She crouched down to meet his gaze and asked gently, “Are you Charlie?”Charlie looked at the unfamiliar lady, his curiosity piqued. After a moment of scrutiny, his eyes widened in surprise. She looked so much like his aunt! But uncertainty lingered in his young mind, so he cautiously replied, “You look familiar.”Winnie smiled faintly, a glimmer of complexity in her eyes as she studied the child before her. She already knew exactly who he was. “I know your mom pretty well. We’re… friends.”“Do you know why she hasn’t come yet?” Charlie asked, his brows furrowed with concern.“She might be held up on the way. How about this? Come with me, and we’ll wait for her together at a nearby cafe. It’ll be more fun than standing here.”Charlie hesitated, his mother’s const

Ben nearly walked out of the company the moment he learned Charlie was missing. Unfortunately, he was in the middle of a crucial meeting when the call came in. As Ben rose to leave, the board members exchanged nervous glances and scrambled to stop him.“Mr. Lucas, where are you going?”“You can’t leave now! This issue hasn’t been resolved yet. Without a clear direction, how can we proceed?”Their frantic objections only made Ben’s temper flare. Shooting them a sharp glare, his icy tone silenced the room. “I have more important matters to attend to. This discussion can wait.”The board members gaped, but Ben didn’t give them a chance to argue further. He strode out, leaving behind a roomful of frustrated sighs and resigned faces.*Meanwhile, Jamie arrived at the preschool, her face pale and her steps quick. She spotted Miss Georgia pacing nervously and hurried over. “Miss Georgia, have you found him yet?”Miss Georgia looked momentarily relieved at Jamie’s arrival, but her exp

After hearing Charlie’s explanation, Jamie finally managed to calm down. However, the emotional rollercoaster of the day had been overwhelming, testing her limits.“What did the lady who took you look like?” Jamie asked.“She kind of looked like Aunt Winnie,” Charlie replied, his words causing Jamie’s hand to freeze mid-motion.Winnie?Her pulse quickened at the mere mention of her sister’s name, her newly found composure teetering on the edge. It was as though her body instinctively reacted, her chest tightening and her breath growing shallow.Sensing Jamie’s unease, Ben intervened. “That’s enough for now, Charlie. Come here.”Charlie glanced hesitantly at his mother, noticing her troubled expression, but eventually obeyed Ben’s firm yet gentle instruction.Ben, after settling Charlie down, turned his attention back to Jamie. “Take a moment to breathe, Jamie. Remember, Charlie’s still watching.”Her eyes snapped to his, and for a moment, she looked like someone pulled from dro

The assistant had barely picked up the phone when a strange expression crossed his face. “Mr. Lucas, this call seems to be for you.”The receptionist had called to say that someone was specifically asking to see Ben Lucas.Ben frowned.This wasn’t the kind of person he would waste his time meeting. If he entertained every random person who claimed they wanted to see him, his days would be endless.But just as he was about to decline, the assistant slowly added, “She says her name is Winnie Lewis.”Ben’s sharp eyes narrowed as a glimmer of light flickered across them. “Let her up.”The assistant nodded and made the arrangements. Ben immediately headed to the lounge to wait.Before long, the door opened, and a woman stepped inside.Ben’s gaze landed on her face, and for a moment, surprise flickered in his eyes. “Your face…”From her build, she was unmistakably Winnie. Her facial features were strikingly similar too, yet something about her was vastly different.It was her aura.

Ben’s response shattered Winnie’s fantasy. “No.”“Why? If not for Jamie, I’m the one who understands you best. I’ve always been the one standing behind you,” Winnie said, her voice rising in urgency.Ben looked at her deeply. “The fact that you don’t understand why—that’s the reason.”Winnie froze.After a moment, the straight line of her posture gave way, as if she had finally released a breath she’d been holding onto for far too long.Ben’s words were cold, but sometimes coldness was the most effective medicine. Lingering in uncertainty would only make it harder to let go.In truth, what Ben said mirrored what Winnie already knew deep down. After surviving the brink of death, she wasn’t the same person she used to be. It wasn’t so much love that still bound her to him, but an obsession—a need for resolution. And Ben’s bluntness shattered that obsession.It took her a while, but eventually, Winnie stood up. “I understand.”As she reached the door, Ben’s voice followed her from

Fortunately, Charlie didn’t resist the idea, which was a relief for both Jamie and Ben. With that weight lifted off her shoulders, Jamie finally made up her mind and told Ben her decision later that same day.The moment she said yes, Ben cupped the back of her head and kissed her deeply. It was a long time before he let her go, his forehead pressed against hers as he whispered, breathless, “Finally, Jamie. You’ve agreed to marry me.“Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this day?”Hearing the slight tremble in his voice, Jamie couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for him. But it wasn’t just him who had struggled. When Jamie made the painful decision to leave all those years ago, it had taken her months of inner turmoil to sever her feelings. Thankfully, after all these years, they had finally found their way back to each other.They decided to hold a wedding and informed Ben’s mother first. Mrs. Lucas didn’t seem particularly surprised. Instead, she jokingly compla

Ben held the wedding dress up in front of Jamie, measuring it against her. “It’s a perfect fit. Keep it,” he said, his tone carrying a subtle hint of amusement.Hearing the teasing undertone, Jamie’s cheeks flushed red. Ben was always so playful.But she couldn’t deny the sweetness that warmed her heart, a feeling she could never experience on her own. Half a month flew by—neither too fast nor too slow. During this time, the Lucas Corporation essentially put all its work on hold. Nearly everyone in the company was involved in preparing for the grand wedding.By now, everyone knew about Jamie’s relationship with Ben. “You’ve got to hand it to Miss Lewis,” someone joked. “We’ve been working hard for years, but she came in and landed the toughest one of all.”“Well, she’s got the skills for it.”“Exactly. Anyone else might not have survived Mr. Lucas’s icy glares.”The group burst into laughter, the atmosphere lighthearted and full of good-natured teasing. Of course, there wer

“I still have something to take care of tonight, just a quick trip. I’ll be back early tomorrow morning,” Ben explained.“Almost married, and you’re still such a workaholic?” Mrs. Lucas sighed.Ben glanced at Jamie. “The client in T City insisted on a meeting. It’s been scheduled for a while, and I can’t cancel.”Jamie smiled gracefully. “Go ahead then. The sooner you leave, the sooner you’ll be back. Just be careful.”“Gonna miss me?” Ben teased, a playful glint in his eyes.“Stop it. Of course not,” Jamie replied, tugging at the corner of her mouth in exasperation.As she walked him out, Ben looked around to make sure no one was watching before leaning down to press a quick kiss to her forehead. “Wait for me.”Jamie shook her head, amused, and nodded lightly. “Alright.”*The trip was short, just about an hour away. Ben had barely checked into his hotel when there was a knock at the door. A waiter stood outside, holding a tray with two glasses of wine.“A complimentary trea

But instead of feeling touched, Vera’s first reaction was nausea. A wave of discomfort surged up from her stomach, and Vera’s face paled. She bolted for the bathroom. Caleb followed quickly. “Are you feeling sick?” “I don’t think so. I’ve been eating normally—nothing too heavy or weird lately.” Vera clutched her stomach, just as confused as he was. Then, a possibility flashed through her mind. Caleb clearly had the same thought. Without a word, he turned and walked into their bedroom, returning moments later with a pregnancy test. Vera looked at him, stunned. “When did you buy that?” He responded matter-of-factly, “Better safe than sorry.” Vera was momentarily speechless. Five minutes later, she stepped out of the bathroom, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief. It was positive. They had only been married for three months. How did this happen so fast?Caleb, on the other hand, remained composed—at le

Of course, Vera wasn’t about to dump all her responsibilities on her assistant. That would be exploitation. She called her assistant into her office. “You’re twenty-five this year, right?” Her assistant blinked, confused. Wasn’t her age common knowledge? Why was Vera suddenly bringing it up? A thought struck her. Was this an arranged marriage situation? Her face immediately filled with silent refusal. “Miss Vera, I’m still young. I’m not thinking about marriage anytime soon.” Vera tapped her pen against the desk. “I’m not telling you to get married.” “Oh.” “I just want to offload some of the smaller daily tasks to you. You don’t have to run every minor document by me.”Her assistant instantly understood. A raise. After confirming she was on board, Vera gave her a salary bump and had her hire a few more assistants to distribute the workload. “If I don’t have time to handle everything, you guys will take care of it. If something’s too complicated, jus

Vera could sense danger the moment the conversation turned in this direction. Her father had never questioned her about married life, and she was lucky enough to avoid nosy relatives. But just because she hadn’t experienced it firsthand didn’t mean she hadn’t seen it happen to others. Without hesitation, she abandoned the half-folded pastry in her hands. “I... uh, need to use the restroom.” Before she could escape, Mrs. Smith caught her wrist. “You and Caleb aren’t getting any younger,” she said matter-of-factly. “You should start thinking about kids—make sure you’re putting in the effort, hmm?” Vera left the kitchen visibly drained. Mrs. Smith was a wonderful mother-in-law, the kind who treated Vera like her own daughter. Despite knowing Vera came from a well-off family, she had still gifted them a house as a wedding present. Of course, Caleb already owned a place, but his mother had insisted. “That’s your house. This is the home I’m giving you as a weddi

That undeniable possessiveness flickered in Caleb’s gaze—subtle yet impossible to ignore. It was the kind of look a powerful man might give his beloved in an old Hollywood film. And right now, the photographer felt like the unlucky bystander who had accidentally stumbled upon an intimate scene. His voice wavered slightly, caught up in his own imagination. “Mr. Smith, lift your eyes toward the camera.” Caleb’s sharp gaze flickered over, intense and commanding. The photographer instinctively pressed the shutter. They continued with several more poses, reviewing the shots as they went. Vera loved them all, but her favorite was still the vintage-inspired one. “How long until we get the final prints?” she asked. “Two to three days at most,” the photographer replied. “I’ll have them shipped directly to you.” Then, after a slight pause, he hesitated before making a request. “I actually have a personal favor to ask—would you both be open to letting us displa

Vera was tempted. They had already taken plenty of wedding photos—several sets at the island, more at the wedding itself. But this wasn’t just any photo studio. It was privately booked and known for being one of the most prestigious studios in the city. Appointments here were nearly impossible to get. The fact that Caleb had managed to secure a session meant he had gone to great lengths to make it happen. If they were just going to take ordinary wedding pictures, it would be a waste of an opportunity. Still, she wasn’t sure what kind of shoot she wanted. The photographer, understanding her hesitation, pulled out a sample album. “You can take a look at our past work. These are some of the styles we’ve done.” Flipping through the pages, Vera saw an array of stunning concepts—each picture more breathtaking than the last. Then, one particular set caught her eye. A Golden Age Hollywood theme.It was classic, nostalgic, and beautifully atmospheric. “Ca

After the wedding, Vera considered taking some time off for a honeymoon. But the thought quickly faded when she realized Caleb had been practically living at the hospital. With a sigh, she dismissed the idea. She was used to it, but to say she wasn’t disappointed would be a lie. Her assistant picked up on it. “Mrs. Smith, don’t you want to go on a honeymoon?” she asked one day. “One of my friends just got married, and she’s been obsessively researching destinations. “She even said a marriage without a honeymoon is already half a failure.” Vera froze mid-page, suddenly losing interest in the documents she had been reviewing. Her assistant hesitated, then offered a suggestion. “Why don’t you go visit Dr. Smith at work?“You seem… distracted. Maybe seeing him will help.” Vera snapped out of her daze, suddenly aware of how preoccupied she had been lately. It was embarrassing to admit, but she had been zoning out far too often—especially after coming hom

Whenever they did this in the past, Caleb always maintained some restraint. But tonight—he didn’t hold back at all. He took her from the bedroom to the bathroom, then back to the bed, his searing kisses trailing every inch of her skin. The next morning, even as she woke up, Vera could still feel the lingering traces of last night’s intoxicating pleasure. As expected, she ended up taking the day off. It wasn’t until two days later that she finally returned to work. *Everyone at the company had already prepared for this. The moment Vera walked into the office, she was greeted with knowing smiles and teasing remarks. “Congratulations, Mrs. Smith!” “Newlywed bliss, huh?” “Three whole days off? Someone had a good time.” It didn’t take a genius to figure out what she had been up to. Obviously, her married life was going exceptionally well—so well that she had completely abandoned work for it. Under the weight of their mischievous stares, Vera barely k

Yelena still hadn’t accepted Hunter, but he wasn’t giving up either and was relentlessly closing in on her. Knowing Yelena’s soft heart, Vera figured it was only a matter of time before she gave in. She let out a sigh. Her friend’s love life wasn’t something she could interfere with. Besides, Caleb had already given her a little inside scoop. “She came to the hospital for a follow-up a few days ago,” he had mentioned casually. “Hunter was the one who brought her.” Vera had clicked her tongue at the news. Yelena always seemed quiet and reserved, but apparently, she was full of surprises.*Time flew by in the blink of an eye.By mid-month, Caleb had rented out an entire vineyard and spent several days transforming it into the perfect wedding venue.When the day arrived, the celebration took place right there.The vineyard was sprawling and elegant, every bit as grand as any luxury hotel—if not better. Even the wine cellar remained untouched, stocked with years-

“Did you plan this from the start?” Vera narrowed her eyes, feeling like she had just walked into a carefully laid trap. “Mm.” Caleb smiled, then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Because yes—he had always been planning this. The biggest change in Vera’s life after the island proposal was the ring now sitting on her finger. It wasn’t just any ring. It was custom-made, something Caleb had specially ordered. She only found out by accident when she glanced at his phone one day and saw the purchase record. It had been ordered two months ago. Vera did the math and was stunned. He had been preparing for this long before she even started getting impatient. Her heart swelled with emotion. And as soon as Caleb’s parents heard that their son had finally proposed, they wasted no time pushing them to get the marriage license. *One day, Vera overheard Caleb’s mother lecturing him. “Your dad and I weren’t expecting much from you. With how much ti
