I was stunned when he asked the question, staring at him in shock. I knew I couldn't fool him; he was looking down at me, trying to gauge my reaction. But I wasn't ready to let him know about my pregnancy. I don't think we're there yet. Even though he seems to be warming up to me, I need to guard my heart.I smiled softly, trying not to give anything away. "Why did you ask? Did you see any baby pictures in your dreams?" I asked with a nervous laugh.He smiled and pulled me closer. His eyes darted around my face as if searching for something only he knew.I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, wondering if he already knew, if he could somehow sense the life growing inside me. He brushed a strand of hair behind my ear, his touch gentle. “Just curious,” he said softly, his voice laced with something I couldn’t quite read. “You seem different lately… I thought maybe there was something you weren’t telling me.”I forced myself to keep smiling, though inside, my thoughts were spin

"W...what is this?" I stuttered, staring at the picture on her phone that she shoved in my face. I looked closer and realized it was a picture of me with another man.I gasped, holding my hand to my mouth. "What is the meaning of this?" I asked, trying to steady my voice so I wouldn't feel intimidated by what she was showing me."Either you're dumb or too blind to see. I think I'll go with both," she sneered, dropping the phone from my face.For a moment, I lost my sense of reality, unable to comprehend what I had just seen on her phone."No, that isn't me," I muttered, shaking my head in disbelief. "It can't be.”Samantha crossed her arms, a smug look on her face. “Oh, it’s you, I wonder what Logan would think if he saw this.”The woman in the photo looked exactly like me, but I knew it wasn’t me. “This has to be some kind of trick,” I said, still shaking my head. “I don’t know who that is, but it’s not me.”“Then who is this?” she demanded, stepping closer with each word. I backed

LoganI didn't know what came over me to want to kiss Nadine. I know we aren't there yet, but I miss how her lips fit so perfectly with mine. I miss the taste of her lips on mine.I thought she wanted it, too, because I could feel her heart pounding, and her nerves were all over the place. Her eyes showed she felt the same way. But when she refused, my heart sank, and I didn’t know how to react.She’s still here, but that doesn’t mean we can go back to how we were before Samantha came into the picture. Could she be pregnant? The thought didn’t sit well with me. Based on her explanation and the terms of the contract, she wants to be pregnant so she can have the baby and leave. I wasn’t sure if I imagined it, but I thought I heard her say something like, "I and the baby want you alive." Maybe I was hallucinating.I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off. I should be happy that she’s still here, but instead, I feel this growing unease. Samantha’s presence in the house

NadineLogan wouldn’t let me explain, and I hated that he wouldn’t just listen. My heart ached when he said he had started feeling something for me. It made me miserable knowing he couldn’t see that I wasn’t the person in that damn picture.“Get out of here right this minute. I don’t want to see you anywhere near me. I don’t care where you go; you’re dead to me. And as for the contract, I don’t want to have anything to do with you,” he said, his anger pouring out in a rush.I wanted to scream, to make him understand, but the words caught in my throat. It was as if the ground beneath me had disappeared. Logan turned away, his expression cold and distant. “I don’t want to hear another word from you, Nadine. Just get out.”I stared at his back, “Logan, please—”“Get out!” he shouted, his voice so loud it made me flinch."You know what, Logan? Fuck you!" I shouted, my voice trembling with anger. "Fuck you real good for not letting me explain myself!"His face was a mix of shock and ang

Don’t get me wrong; I’m glad she’s making the effort to call me, even though I haven’t been doing the same. I stare at the phone, wondering if I should pick it up.She’s stuck around for so long. She came to our office for training and stayed with me even after she went back to Canada.The phone suddenly stopped ringing, and I pulled my eyes away from it, trying to gather my thoughts. The phone started ringing again.I knew I had to answer because she wouldn’t stop calling until she heard from me. So, I swiped the phone and answered the call.“Nadine,” she breathed out in relief, “you got me so worried.”I could hear the concern in her voice, and it made me feel a bit better. But my voice choked with tears as I realized how she cared for me, even though I hadn't been there for her.“Nadine, are you alright?” she asked as tears started flowing down my cheeks. I didn’t want to say anything because I didn’t want her to know I’d been crying and make her even more worried.“Nadine?” she c

It's the start of a new beginning, and I won't let anything stop me from enjoying the life I intend to build here. So, I open my phone, take out the SIM card, and break it in two. I don't want anything to remind me of the life I left behind.I think about Logan. I know I promised him I wouldn't, I wonder how my life would have been different if I hadn't caught my sister in bed with Jake. Would I have gotten my happily ever after with him?I also think about my strained relationship with Nathalie. More than anything, I wish we could have a healthy relationship as sisters.I also think about my dad. He never showed me love as a child, always taking Nathalie’s side in everything. My mom suffered because of his behavior, especially when he didn’t care for her during her illness, even though he could have easily paid for her hospital bills.My mother’s illness is what pushed me to accept the contract marriage with Logan, and that turned out to be the worst decision I’ve ever made.And t

When I got to my room, I placed my hand on my chest, feeling a rollercoaster of emotions just from seeing this stranger. It felt strange and wrong at the same time. Trying to shake off the feelings, I unpacked my bag. I noticed there were some beauty essentials and toiletries I needed, so I bought them earlier.I took them out and arranged them where they should be. I also bought a new SIM card so I could communicate more easily.Feeling hungry, I went back downstairs, relieved to see that the handsome stranger had left.“Syd,” I called out.“I’m here,” as I followed her voice to a room and knocked on the door.“Come in.”I walked in and was in awe of her luxurious bedroom.The room was stunning, with a large, plush bed draped in soft, expensive-looking linens. “Wow, you’re living a princess kind of life,” as I took it all in. “How come I haven’t met your parents?”“Oh, my parents,” they’re on vacation. They were once divorced, but then my dad realized he couldn’t live without my m

I looked at her, stunned, wondering how she knew I was pregnant. I didn’t want her to see me as a burden because of it.She sensed my hesitation and moved closer, holding my hand. “Nadine, I’m not trying to push you to tell me. I just want you to be comfortable around me.”“Or have I given you any reason to?” I shook my head vigorously. “No, no, and then hugged her tightly, becoming emotional again. “Oh Sydney, you’re just too good to be true.”Sydney hugged me back gently. “I’m glad you feel that way. We’re friends, and I want you to know that you can trust me with anything.”I pulled back slightly, wiping away a tear. “It means so much to me to hear that. I’ve been so worried about how to handle everything.”“I’m here with you every step of the way,” Sydney said. “And that baby is my godson. I won’t let any harm come to him, not even from that guy—what’s his name again?”Through a mix of laughter and tears, I said, “Logan.”“Yes, Logan. And we’re going to make sure he knows he can’

He notices my movement and hesitates."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...you know," he trails off, his eyes searching mine for understanding.“I just wanted to say thank you...for choosing to have Shawn, despite everything between us before you left.”“He's my boy too, and I don't regret...any of it," I sayLogan nods, with a small smile on his lips. "Thank you anyway.”I study Logan's face, trying to read his intentions. I kinda like this new, softer side of him, but I wonder if it's just an act for Shawn’s sake.

I'm not interested in small talk, so I cut to the chase. "Yes, I did. Why are you calling?" The pause is brief, but I sense he hesitates before Logan speaks again. I wait, wondering what he wants to discuss."I was wondering if I can have my time with Shawn today," I recall Shawn's excitement earlier, asking to see his buddy today."Okay," I say, and I can almost hear Logan's sigh of relief on the other end of the line. I'm taken aback - I know he thinks I'll say no. But I'm done fighting; all I want is what's best for my son."What time are you coming?" I ask."I'm right outside your mom's house," his voice is a little stronger now. I glance out
