I look up, panic still gripping my heart, wondering who's burst into my living room. But as my eyes land on Ethan, my racing heart calms a bit.

I can sense the underlying tension between Ethan and Logan. Logan's gaze is fixed on Ethan, his eyes blazing with a fierce intensity, making me wonder if it's just jealousy or something more.But I push those thoughts aside and focus on Ethan."Hey, are you okay?" he asks, as he wraps a protective arm around me.

His men came to help," I say, nodding towards Logan without wanting to say his name.Ethan's gaze shifts to Logan, and I can sense the tension between them. But Logan's smirk catches my attention. He looks like he knows a secret, something we don't. His expression is infuriatingly calm. With Logan, you can never b

But I keep my cool, observing him instead.Ethan looks uneasy, his eyes darting around the room as if searching for an escape route. He's not comfortable with the situation, but I'm not sure why.

Nadine’s POVEthan's face twists in anger. He's unhappy that the culprit is caught, and I know I need to be careful around him. He takes a step closer, and I jump back, startled.But then I see Logan watching me, his eyes filled with concern. He wants to tell me something, but he's holding back. I'm thankful for him, even though I tried to push him away. He still sent his men to guard my house, keeping me safe."Logan, thank you for everything," I say, meaning every word.Logan stands still for a moment, then turns to me. "You're welcome, Nadine," I can tell he wants to say more, but he stops himself. He shakes his head slowly and walks away.As I gaze back at Ethan, I sense a long and uneasy night ahead. "Thanks for coming back," I say, trying to sound calm. "Did you sort out what you went for?"Ethan nods, stuttering, "Y-yes, I did."I sigh. "Okay," I say, heading towards my room. "All I want is a long bath and to curl up in bed. I'm tired."But Ethan follows me, making me uneasy.

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. He's been my rock, in every sense of the word, caring for Shawn as if he were his own.As I reflect on yesterday's events, I realize I was being paranoid about Ethan's look. I quickly dismiss the thought of him trying to har

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 had built this illusion in his head that we were married, and seeing it shatter when I declared my love for Logan was intense."Here, ple

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

"Do you think I give a fuck what she does to you?" he growls.I'm taken aback, shocked by his words.

I take a step back, trying to create some distance between us, as Logan’s face inches closer to mine. 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. Either way, it's a welcome change."So..." I draw out the word, curious about what he's going to say next.Logan’s hand slips into his pocket, and he pulls out a small box. He holds it out to me, his eyes hopeful.I shake my head, hesitant to accept whatever is inside. "No, Logan, I don't want anything from you."He takes a step closer, his hand still extended. "Just take it, Na

"Wait, sorry, my bad," I say, moving the phone away from my ear to double-check the number. I was expecting Ethan's call, but this number is unfamiliar. Yet, the voice on the other end is unmistakable - Logan.I try to sound civil, for Shawn's sake. "What's up?" attempting to keep the tone light."Nothing much, Nadine. Did you sleep well?" 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

As I turn to face him, my body stiffens, and my mind races with thoughts of what he might say. I hope it's not something that will break my heart. I try to compose myself, thinking of Shawn's needs first. "Please, I'll need to take care of Shawn, then I'll be back," I say, trying to sound calm."Can I carry him in my arms?" he asks, with emotion in his voice."Yes," I reply, but as I try to hand Shawn over, he clings to me like a lifeline. I couldn't force him to let go."I'm sorry, I'll need to go now, but I'll be back," I tell him, trying to reassure him as I make my way to take care of Shawn. I can feel his gaze on me, but I know I need to prioritize Shawn's needs right now.Part of me wants to turn back and confront whatever it is he wants to tell me.I focus on Shawn's tiny hands wrapped tightly around my finger, his big brown eyes looking up at me.

I glance around the room, my heart pounds as I shift my gaze between Mum and Gabriel, trying to make sense of their argument or the secret they’re hiding.“Mum, please,” I say, my voice trembling. “What is going on? Can you just say it?” I gesture toward Gabriel. "I don’t even know this man, but if he can donate a kidney for you, he must mean something. Who is he? What does he want?"Mum meets my eyes for a second, then looks at Gabriel. Her lips press into a thin line as she squeezes her eyes shut. For a long moment, she’s silent, shaking her head slowly, as though wrestling with thoughts she can’t bring herself to say aloud.“Mum, what is this? Can you just say it and get it over with?” my patience wears thin. I can feel she has a secret she’s holding onto tightly.Before she can respond, a sharp, piercing scream echoes through the house. Shawn. He’s awake, and the absence of anyone around has startled him.Without a second thought, I dash to his room. He’s sitting on the bed, his

Nadine’s POVI toss and turn, barely getting a wink of sleep last night. But today is Saturday, and all I want to do is curl up in bed with my boy by my side. The thought of going back to my apartment exhausts me - I don't have the strength to face it. And honestly, I'm scared of unwanted guests showing up unannounced. My mind still reels from the near-attack at my apartment. All I crave is a peaceful day with my son, in the comfort of my mother's home. I need my coffee, so I quietly make my way downstairs to the kitchen, trying not to wake my son or mother, who I'm sure is still sleeping soundly in her room. Just as I'm pouring myself a cup of coffee, a sudden knock on the door startles me. I wonder who it could be, so I cautiously make my way to the door and slowly open it. On the other side, I see a well-dressed man around my dad's age, with a kind face and a warm smile. "Hello," I say nervously. "Hello," he replies, "I'm Gabriel, the kidney donor." His words take me by surp
