Nadine POV

I hear Logan's words, it's a threat, one I can't afford to ignore. I start pacing back and forth in my house, my mind racing with worst-case scenarios.

I grab my phone and dial my mother's number, my heart pounding in my chest. I need to know my son is safe.

"Hello, Mum, how are you? And how's Shawn?" I ask, trying to sound calm despite my racing thoughts.

"Nadine, are you okay?" my mum asks, concern etched in her voice. "You sound out of breath. What's wrong?"

I take a deep breath, trying to compose myself. I don't want to alarm her, but I need reassurance. "I just need to know Shawn is okay, Mum." I pause, waiting for her response.

She stays quiet for some time, and I'm getting frustrated with her silence.

"Mum, please! Say something! You're scaring me!" I exclaim, my voice rising in desperation.

"Take a deep breath, Nadine. What's wrong?" my mum asks, but I can sense a hint of frustration in her voice.

"Mum? Please stay indoors and don't receive any strange visitors!"

    I stand there, frozen in awe, taking in the details of the shop. I'm speechless, unable to find the right words to express my emotions. My gaze shifts to Ethan, and I'm met with a broad smile that suggests he's thrilled to have evoked this reaction."Wow, this is...beautiful," I say, my voice trailing off as I struggle to find the perfect words to describe the scene before me.I wander around the shop, taking in every detail, tracing the intricate designs with my fingers. I turn back to Ethan, his smile still hasn't faded. There's something about that smile that has held me spellbound for four years.Memories flood my mind - Ethan by my side throughout my pregnancy, with me through delivery, and beaming with pride as he held Shawn in his arms for the first time.

    Nadine’s POV “The police chief says you need to come to the station to identify the intruder." My body tenses, and I turn to face Ethan. He's looking around the room like a cornered animal, his eyes darting everywhere except at me. I can see the unease written all over his face. "Are you alright?" I ask, my brow furrowed in concern. But before he can answer, Logan's voice cuts in, with frustration. "What's going on, Ethan? You're acting like you're guilty." I can feel Logan's anger, but I won't let him take over. I step in."Logan, stop. This isn't the time." I turn back to Ethan, my eyes locked on his. "Ethan, what's going on? Why are you so nervous?" I demand, with an insistent voice.Ethan's eyes meet mine, and for a moment, I see a fear. But then, his mask slips back into place, and he forces a smile. "I'm fine, Nadine. Just a little... surprised." I'm not buying it. I know he's hiding something. And Logan's not helping. He's still seething, with anger. I can feel his eyes o

    "Marry me," I stare at him, stunned, my mind reeling in shock. I didn't see this coming, not at all. Oh my goodness, have I led him on? Was it when I called him my boyfriend in front of Logan? Or when I casually mentioned we've been together for four years? I slowly move away from him. Ethan's eyes suddenly change, his expression changing to something I can't quite put into words. His gaze follows me, but I don't know what to say. I try to wrap my head around this unexpected proposal."Fuck, I don't know," Ethan's face looks frustrated."I know I've dreamt about marriage with you, but I didn't mean to rush you by asking you to marry me all of a sudden when we haven't even put a name to what we have. I know what I feel about you, but it hurts me when I see you lost in your thoughts whenever we're together."I'm startled by his outburst, but I quickly regain my composure. I slowly place my finger on his lips to silence him, and he takes it into his mouth, sucking gently. The sensati

    I quickly step away, trying to put some distance between us. Logan tries to catch up, attempting to hook his hand around mine, but I'm not having it. I look at him warily, wondering if he's lost his mind thinking I'd willingly hold hands with him.I spot a taxi driving by and wave it down, trying to make a quick escape. Logan's caught off guard, and I take advantage of the momentary distraction to open the door and hop in.As I give the driver my destination, I turn around to take one last look at Logan. His face is comical: He looks like he can't believe I'm leaving him standing there in the rain.But as the taxi pulls away, I see Logan's expression change.I smile as I gaze back at the road. Ethan's sudden storm-off has me wondering where he went and why his demeanor changed so abruptly. I'm still reeling from his outburst - who wouldn't be?

    He stays quiet for a while, collecting his thoughts before speaking. "It's been hell since you left New York, Nadine.”I interrupt him, my words spilling out in a rush. "Since I left New York or since you sent me out of your house?" I ask, in a bitter voice. "Do you think I'd want to be anywhere close to you here in America? I was happy when I was invited to Canada to stay, and that was one of the best decisions of my life. There, I had peace."Logan's eyes narrow, his face tense, but he says nothing, letting the silence stretch out between us. "I know I wasn't the best to you, I've spent every day of my life trying to right my wrongs. But when I saw the huge difference between your face and the picture I was sent, I knew at that time that I had behaved badly."He pauses, collecting his thoughts before continuing. "That's by the way, Logan," I retorted. "I wouldn't want to dwell on something that's a closed chapter in my life. But my question is, who prevented you from coming clos

My heart leaps with joy, pounding so hard I feel it might burst from my chest. “I’m right where I should be,” she whispers.It feels surreal. “Say that again, Nadine,” I urged, my face lighting up with happiness.“Oh, stop, Logan,” she replies, covering her face with her hands.Unable to contain my excitement, I scoop her up in a bridal carry and head up the stairs.“Drop me! I can walk by myself!” she laughs, but I can’t help my joy as I carry her with happiness.“Where are you taking me?” she asks, laughing.“To my bathroom.

    He moves his hand down, sliding my pants aside, and finds my clit with his fingers. I shudder, arching my back as he continues to press deeper. He adds another finger, fucking me with it, but it doesn’t come close to satisfying the longing that’s consumed me for years. No amount of self-control can hold back the desire that surges through me.His fingers alone can’t quench my thirst. All I want is his dick inside me, filling me, while my clit clench around him.He slams into me with all the raw power I remember from our first night together, igniting a fire deep in me.That night is etched in my memory, and each time I use my toy, I picture him, as I thrust in and out reliving the raw connection I feel that reckless night.As he drives deeper, sensations flood back, every gasp, every moan, every brush of his skin against mine.

I wrap my legs around him, keeping our lips locked.He carries me to the couch, laying me down gently before finally pulling away.“What the hell, Logan?” I snap, frustration bubbling up like a child denied th
