Adeline's new house was beautifully decorated, and the nursery was ready for the baby. After visiting the doctor the day before, she was told that labour could happen any time now. Thankfully, her nausea had finally stopped and for the first time in a long while, she felt like a normal pregnant woman. She was finally able to enjoy her pregnancy.

Today, she asked Anastasia to go to a specific restaurant to satisfy a craving she had been having. Anastasia wasn’t sure, but she agreed to accompany her best friend. As they sat at their table enjoying their food, a sudden figure appeared near them.

With a wide smile, the little girl jumped toward Adeline and exclaimed, “Princess Elsa!”

Adeline’s eyes widened in recognition. “Destiny?”

The girl grinned, wrapping her arms around Adeline for a hug. “Des Des likes Princess Elsa!”

Adeline laughed softly. “Where is your mom and dad?”

“Momma is in the kitchen,” Destiny answered, her voice full of childlike excitement. “Daddy is out working. Des D

    "Addy?" Anastasia asked with a grin.Adeline’s face lit up as she grinned back. "I’m ready."With that, the two of them took Destiny to Adeline’s new house, where the fun truly began. For the next few hours, they turned the house into a magical princess paradise. There were tiaras, balloons, and sparkles everywhere. Destiny couldn’t stop giggling as her laughter filled the room as she bounced from one princess game to the next. Cake, toys, and more fun followed, creating a dream come true for little Destiny. Adeline couldn’t help but join in while smiling and laughing with her. But after hours of excitement, even the liveliest of princesses needed rest. Destiny, completely worn out, curled up on the couch and finally fell asleep along with a tired and very pregnant Adeline.Anastasia had other plans.Summer had sent Destiny’s nanny and bodyguard along to make sure she was always safe and well cared for. But Anastasia wasn’t about to let the fun end just yet. She carefully picked up the

    "Go and hug your big brother," Anastasia said, her voice filled with warmth.Destiny hesitated for a moment as her tiny feet were shuffling uncertainly. But when she saw the excitement in Anastasia’s eyes, she couldn’t hold back. She threw her arms wide open with a huge smile lighting up her face and without wasting another second, she ran straight to Damien who quickly stood up from his chair with his arms ready to embrace her.As Destiny reached him, she leapt into his arms and he bent down to scoop her up while holding her close. The soft, sweet scent of baby shampoo filled his nose and in that moment, Damien was overwhelmed with emotions. His heart swelled and his eyes welled up with unexpected tears. He didn’t know why, but holding his little sister in his arms made him feel a joy he hadn’t realized he had been missing.He pulled her tightly against his neck while savouring the moment.Destiny was still holding his face gently in her small hands as she stared at him with those bi

    Anastasia reminded him a while later, “We have to take her back to her parents. Don’t forget that it’s her birthday today.”Damien mumbled, “Can’t we fight her father for custody? We could raise her.”Anastasia laughed. “Oh, baby… we can’t. She will need her parents when the ‘big brother rush’ wears off.”Damien muttered, “Fine.”After a while, he asked, “Shall we take her to see Caleb? He will be very upset if he finds out we spent the whole day with Destiny and didn’t even take him to meet his little sister.”Anastasia nodded. “You are right, but he is at the old mansion. How can we take Destiny there?”Damien asked, “Why can’t we?”“Your mom and grandmother... What if they say something bad about the little girl? It’s her birthday. I don’t want to hurt her,” Anastasia said.Damien replied, “They wouldn’t dare!”After some time, they reached the Callahan mansion. The staff was shocked to see Damien carrying a little girl inside, along with Anastasia. When the old madam found out tha

    The old woman swiftly manoeuvred her wheelchair toward the group while shooing away the brats. “Go away!” she barked. Then, her demeanour shifted dramatically. Grabbing Destiny’s hand, she turned syrupy sweet, her voice dripping with exaggerated affection. “Oh, my princess! Your dad is such a terrible man! How could he hide my precious grandchild from me? A girl! A girl from the Callahan family! And so beautiful just like your grandma.” She wailed dramatically, tears threatening to spill. “Oh, how I missed you!”Anastasia stood frozen completely stunned at the dramatics that the old lady displayed.Destiny, visibly uncomfortable, glanced around for help and murmured, “Big brother…”Damien leaned down and said gently, “Des Des, this is our grandma. Go on, greet her properly.”Destiny hesitated but eventually said, “Hello, Grandma.”The old woman’s tears began to flow. “That horrible man! He kept my granddaughter from me all this time! My precious granddaughter!”Feeling sorry for her, D

    "Let's talk, son," Darcy said again as they stood in the quiet garden. The cool evening air surrounded them but the silence between them was heavy. He watched his son while knowing Damien wouldn’t speak first. With a sigh, he decided to start.Damien looked at him, distantly. "What is there to talk about?" he asked, his voice flat, carrying both irritation and curiosity.Darcy held his gaze. "A lot, Damien. There is a lot we need to talk about."Damien folded his arms. "Like what?"Darcy sighed with both sadness and frustration. "Like why you won’t answer my calls, my messages, my letters, like nothing. You have been ignoring me for years. Don’t I deserve to know why?"Damien stayed quiet, his face giving nothing away. Deep down, he felt a small pang of guilt, but he pushed it aside. He had avoided his father for almost ten years, keeping their paths from crossing. Facing Darcy meant facing old pain and he wasn’t ready to deal with it. He was just trying to protect his heart by hurtin

    "How did it go?" Anastasia asked gently, her eyes scanning Damien's face for clues."I... I don’t know," Damien replied, his expression clouded with uncertainty."Did you talk?" she pressed, her curiosity was spilling over, though she tried to keep her tone calm."Kind of?" he said hesitantly, rubbing the back of his neck.Anastasia’s excitement spilt through despite her restraint. "Damien, I’m dying of curiosity here. What happened?"Damien let out a sigh and whispered, "Actually… we started screaming at each other, getting really angry. Then… he started crying."Her eyes widened. "He cried? Did you hug him? Console him?""No...?" Damien answered slowly, his uncertainty was almost childlike.She blinked, clearly horrified. "What did you do when your father started crying?"He shrugged as though the answer was obvious. "I just stood there."Anastasia let out an exasperated groan, throwing her hands up. "Goddamn it, Damien! That is not the kind of example you should be setting for Dest

    “Addy, where are you?” Anastasia asked her best friend who had left early in the morning without informing her.“I went to the doctor’s,” Adeline replied.Anastasia asked, “I always go with you. Why didn’t you tell me?”Adeline explained, “Austin wanted to come with me. You see, we always ditch him and since this might be my last doctor visit, I thought I would take him with me.” She added, “After the doctor’s visit, we went for some ice cream.”Suddenly, Adeline’s voice grew tense. “Dear god.”“What happened?” Anastasia asked, panicked. “Are you okay?”“I’m fine, but someone else isn’t going to be,” Adeline said, hanging up the call. Her eyes caught sight of Ronan walking toward her. He was probably in a meeting with a client but as soon as he saw her, he changed direction and began walking toward her.Adeline looked at Austin, who was still on the call. Dear Lord, Austin was going to beat up Ronan. She looked back and forth between Austin and Ronan, the latter now just a few feet aw

    Ronan sighed deeply. “I wanted to meet you in Paris. I wanted to surprise you when you signed your first big commercial advertisement. You were so nervous about it for a whole month. When you told me you were going to sign it, I thought I would pop by to surprise you. I came, but then… I saw Anna with you.”She narrowed her eyes. “So, all these years we never met because of Anastasia?”He lowered his head. “I hated her…”Adeline’s expression hardened. “When we met, why didn’t you confess?” she pressed.“I thought you would hate me,” he said quietly. “The dynamics had been twisted with Regina and Anastasia. You live and breathe Anastasia, and I’m always just in Regina’s shadow. We were like mortal enemies.”Adeline’s face twisted with disgust. “What a stupid piece of shit you are. Why would I hate you for them?”She glared at him while speaking, “Ronan, you wasted ten years of our lives with your unreasonable hate for my best friend. You chose Regina over me. I don’t want to feel bad

    Damien asked, shocked, “What happened to Harold?”Jack replied, “He suffered a stroke. His condition is serious.”“Is Claire there?” Damien asked urgently.“Not yet, but the butler is. Claire has been informed and will be arriving soon,” Jack explained.Damien’s tone turned sharp. “Jack, get Harold out of the house as soon as possible. Don’t let Claire catch wind of it. Until she arrives, the butler has the authority to assist you. Once she’s there, she’ll take control. Warn the butler that this is all part of Claire’s grand plan. To eliminate Harold and seize everything. She is already plotting against Regina and Anna.”“Understood, sir. I will take care of it,” Jack assured him.When Damien ended the call, he turned to find Asher who was standing nearby and observing him quietly.Before Damien could talk to his eldest son, Darcy entered the room, followed closely by Summer who was carrying a sleeping Destiny. Despite the late hour, the couple had arrived, uncalled but concerned.Dam

    While Ronan, Adeline, and Abel were at the hospital, Damien found himself pacing back and forth in the living room. He had been trying to contact Anastasia, but now her phone was switched off. She had been keeping him updated on the situation but with no recent word, his worry began to grow.“Dad, Rio is crying,” Maxey said softly, tugging at Damien’s sleeve.Damien turned quickly, his thoughts momentarily interrupted. “Oh…” he muttered, glancing toward the baby.As he turned, he noticed Asher holding Rio in his arms, while gently rocking him. To Damien’s surprise, Asher was singing the lullaby that Anastasia usually sang to soothe the baby. His voice was sweet and homely and before long, Rio’s cries quieted as he drifted off to sleep.Damien smiled faintly at the sight, feeling both pride and heartache.“Dad, when will Mom come home?” Asher asked, his voice filled with worry. “Is everything okay?”Damien ruffled his son’s hair, trying to reassure him. “Everything’s okay, kiddo,” he s

    Anna made sure all the exits around the hospital were blocked. She was determined to stop anyone from escaping, especially since she was certain the kidnapper hadn’t left and the missing baby was still inside the building.She didn’t waste any time and searched every corner of the hospital. She checked rooms, hallways, and storage areas, leaving nothing untouched. The guards were also running around, doing their best to find the child, but no one seemed to have any luck.As Anna moved through the hospital, she noticed a nurse heading toward the terrace, holding a cigarette packet. The nurse tried to open the door but found it locked.“That’s strange,” the nurse muttered. “Why is the terrace door locked? It’s never locked.”Anna’s instincts kicked in. Something felt off. She walked up to the door and tried opening it herself, but it wouldn’t budge. The lock was solid and the door wouldn’t move. Without hesitation, she decided to break it open.She hurried downstairs to find something h

    On Adeline’s side, Damien called her to come to his place immediately with her son. She was already en route when Ronan sent her an SOS with his location. Her brows furrowed at the odd message, but her heart pounded with unease. When she tried calling him, his phone was switched off.Dropping Rio off at Damien’s place, Adeline wasted no time. With her security team in tow, she headed to the location Ronan had sent. It was a private property on the outskirts of New York. The urgency of the situation made her call Delilah to arrange for a chopper to get her there faster.As they landed, her bodyguards secured the perimeter and began a thorough search of the property. Room by room, they swept through until Adeline finally found Ronan.He was lying on a bed. His body filled with discomfort as a naked woman attempted to climb on him. He was intoxicated but was still trying to push her away. Adeline’s blood boiled at the sight, but she forced herself to keep her calm.“Record this,” she or

    Regina couldn’t make sense of what was happening. How could it be Fiona? She had been living here for months and hadn’t even recognized her own mother.“Regina!” Anastasia screamed as Regina stumbled against a table and fell to the ground.Both Anastasia and Fiona rushed to her side, helping her to the sofa.“Are you okay?” Anastasia asked, panic evident in her voice.Dazed, Regina nodded.“You hit the table so hard! And you are heavily pregnant. I’m not taking any chances,” Anastasia said, her fear mounting.“Anna, I’m fine,” Regina reassured her.But Anastasia didn’t listen. She quickly called Damien. “Please come to Regina and Abel’s place right away. And increase security around our house.”“Is everything alright?” Damien asked, his concern clear.“Damien, my mom is alive. She is here with me. I need you to come over and make sure she is safe while I look after Regina,” Anastasia said, her voice trembling. “Please, hurry.”When Damien arrived, he was stunned to see Fiona. Anastasi

    Abel’s voice over the call was filled with concern. “Hey, Anastasia. Can you please check on Regina for me? I’m out of state for a meeting. She is not answering my calls, and my housekeeper is on leave.”There was a pause before he added, almost apologetically, “I know it is asking a lot, but I’m really getting stressed about her.”Anastasia’s tone was calm and reassuring. “It is not a big deal, Abel. I will go check on her.”“Thank you. I really appreciate it. I have to get back. I called you in the middle of a meeting,” he said hurriedly before ending the call.Anastasia smiled softly after hanging up. Lately, Abel had become incredibly attentive and caring toward Regina. With her due date approaching, it was natural for him to worry, especially when she didn’t pick up the phone. She admired how much effort he was putting into making sure Regina felt supported.“Maxey,” Anastasia called out, intending to get her youngest to join her.Instead of Ashton, Asher appeared in the doorway

    Damien and Anastasia lay tangled under the sheet as the afterglow of their passionate love-making session still lingered. He pressed a gentle kiss to the smooth curve of her shoulder and a quiet hum of satisfaction left her lips in response.“Who knew that kids making love would be such an adventure,” Anastasia murmured, her voice filled with exhaustion.Damien chuckled. “I hope for a decade none of them discover sex.”Anastasia rolled her eyes. “Come on, let’s not forget about us. We started pretty early. Thank God our parents never knew.”Damien’s grin was mischievous as he pulled her in for a slow kiss. “I missed you all day,” he whispered. Anastasia smirked, “Oh yeah? I heard the laughter downstairs. I know you were having fun with the boys. Did you even have the chance to miss me?”It warmed her heart to no end that their lives had changed for the better and now it was filled with so much love. This was the family that she never knew she needed. But now that she had it, everythi

    As Mrs. Luna served Asher’s breakfast, it was noticeably different from everyone else’s. Since Asher loved animals so much that he couldn’t bear the thought of eating meat, the family wholeheartedly respected his choice and ensured he was only served vegetarian meals.“Jellybean, your dad told me about your plans for the day. Are you excited?” Anastasia asked with a warm smile.“Yeah,” Asher replied, though his tone carried a mix of emotions. Glancing at his younger brother, he added, “Maxey isn’t learning to ride a bicycle?”“Nope!” Ashton grinned cheekily. “I asked Mommy if I could skip it, and she said yes.”Asher turned toward Damien with a frown. “That’s not fair!”Damien shrugged with a smirk. “Sorry, buddy. He pulled the Mommy card today, and you know how it is, she is the boss.”Asher rolled his eyes, clearly unimpressed.Anastasia leaned in, her tone encouraging. “I know by the end of the day, you will be riding like a pro. We are all rooting for you.”Breakfast was casual an

    Many times, blood does not define relationships. Anastasia understood this better than anyone, and now Damien was living this truth as well.When Asher and Ashton were brought to their new home, they were awestruck. It took them an entire month to come to terms with the reality of their new life. Accepting Anastasia and Damien as their parents wasn’t easy, but all four of them were working hard to build a family together.It was the weekend. The boys had recently been enrolled in a new school and adjusting to the fast-paced curriculum of an international private school had been challenging for them. However, their parents were fully committed to helping them succeed.Despite it being a holiday, Damien woke the kids up early.Asher, the older of the two, groaned. “Do I really have to get up?”Though he was respectful to Anastasia and Damien, Asher had a frosty demeanour—his coldness rivalled that of Antarctica.“Yes, you do,” Damien said firmly. “We agreed that today you would learn ho
