S2 ⊰ 1 ⊱ Proposition of a Lifetime
Last Updated:
2024-07-06 01:00:35The car ride is suffocating, the air thick with tension. I can’t help but steal glances at Cade, his knuckles white as he grips the steering wheel, his jaw clenched so tight I fear it might snap. The muscles in his neck strain, the vein in his forehead throbbing with barely contained rage. He stares straight ahead, his eyes hard and unblinking, fixed on the road.
I want to reach out, to lay a comforting hand on his arm, but I hesitate. He’s like a coiled spring, ready to explode at the slightest touch. So I sit still, my hands tightly in my lap, my heart hammering against my ribs.
What’s going through your mind, Cade?
It’s not long before Cade’s parking the car in the garage, the place a testament to his wealth and status. The sleek black and white marble floor gleams under the soft overhead lights. To the left, his prized possessions: the black Ferrari his father gifted him for his 25th birthday. It sits, polished to perfe

Heartprints in the Void ⊰ 2 ⊱ Family Ties
The sun’s already begun to set by the time we pull into the secluded resort nestled in the heart of a small town. The three-hour drive had been filled with a mix of excited chatter, comfortable silences, and Naomi’s occasional babbling from her car seat.As Cade parks in front of the quaint wooden cabin, I can’t help but marvel at the serenity surrounding us. Tall pine trees sway gently in the breeze, their scent mingling with the crisp mountain air. It’s a world away from the bustling city we left behind, and the perfect place to start our new life together.We unload the car, Cade insisting on carrying the majority of our bags while I focus on getting Naomi settled. Inside, the cabin is cozy, with a rustic charm that immediately settles my nerves.After a quick exploration, I spread out a playmat for Naomi in the living room, pulling out her favorite building blocks. She squeals with a precious smile on her face, immediately setting to work on her architectura

⊰ Cade ⊱The sun glints off the storefront windows as Elysian and I stroll down the quaint main street of this tiny town, Naomi balanced on my hip, her little hand clutching my shirt. The air is crisp, the scent of pine and wood smoke drifting on the breeze. It feels like we're in our own little world here, far from the chaos and complications of the city.I glance down at Elysian, my heart swelling at the sight of her. She's practically glowing, her face alight with a happiness I haven't seen in far too long.I'd do anything to keep that smile on her face.Our destination comes into view, a small, unassuming jewelry store nestled between a cozy-looking bookshop and a rustic café. The bell above the door jingles as we step inside, the scent of polished metal and glass cleaner hanging in the air.The elderly gentleman behind the counter looks up, a warm smile spreading across his weathered face. “Good morning!

The morning sun dances across the surface of the small lake, the water sparkling like diamonds as Cade and I walk hand in hand along the shore. The gentle breeze rustles through the trees, carrying with it the sweet scent of wildflowers and the promise of a new beginning.I glance down at my simple white dress, the soft fabric swishing around my ankles with each step. It's not the extravagant gown I might have once imagined for my wedding day, but somehow, it feels perfect.Beside me, Cade looks dashing in one of his less fancy suits, the dark fabric a striking contrast to the pale blue of his dress shirt. I can't help but smile to myself, thinking about how he'd fretted over his outfit, not wanting to "out dress" me on our special day.Always the gentleman, my Cade.As we approach the gazebo where the pastor awaits, a familiar figure comes into view. My breath catches, my steps faltering for a moment as I recognize Maribel, her kind face split in a wide grin.“What..?” I murmur, turn

The familiar scent of home envelops me as Cade and I step through the front door, Naomi balanced on my hip, her little head resting on my shoulder. It’s strange how quickly this place has become “home”, considering I’ve lived here less than a week.But I suppose home isn’t always a place. Sometimes, it’s a feeling, a sense of belonging. And right now, with my husband by my side and our daughter in my arms, I’ve never felt more at home.My husband. Our daughter.It’s surreal.“Welcome home, Mrs. Sinclair,” Cade murmurs, planting a kiss on my temple as he sets our bags down in the entryway.I smile up at him, my heart so full it feels like it’s going to burst. “I like the sound of that.”Together, we settle Naomi into her playpen, her eyelids already drooping with the promise of an impending nap. Just as I’m going to suggest that Cade and I take advantage of the quiet moment, my phone buzzes in my pocket.With furrowed eyebrows, I pull it out.Ava.“Hello?” I answer, my tone quizzical.

⊰ Cade ⊱I stand in the kitchen, my hands braced against the marble countertop, my knuckles white with tension. The sound of Elysian’s laughter drifts in from the living room, mingling with Ava's more subdued responses. But I can't focus on their conversation, can't bring myself to join them.Because the moment I saw Ava standing on our doorstep, it all came rushing back.The sterile smell of the medical facility. The cold metal of the chair beneath my hands. And Ava’s face, her eyes wide with a mixture of fear and guilt as she stood in the corner of the room, a clipboard clutched to her chest.I remember hearing my father’s voice, remember him saying, “It’s for the best, Cade.” Through the disorientation, I could feel the coldness, the determination in his tone. “You’ll thank me for this one day.”I squeeze my eyes shut, willing the memory away. But it’s too late. The floodgates have opened, and now I can’t stop the torrent recollections.Ava was there. She knew about the hypnosis tr

The familiar scent of my old apartment hits me as I unlock the door, a mixture of lavender air freshener and the lingering aroma of Bubbles' favorite treats. A pang of nostalgia washes over me as I step inside, memories of late nights studying, lazy Sundays with Bubbles, and the quiet solitude I once cherished flooding back.But that life feels like a distant dream now. So much has changed in such a short time.“Wow, Elys,” Amelia whistles as she follows me in, her eyes scanning the modest space. “This is… cozy.”I can hear the polite restraint in her voice, and I can’t help but chuckle. “I don’t know, I think it’s cute! Very… bachelor pad chic.”“Bachelorette,” Ava corrects quietly, bringing up the rear. She’s been unusually subdued since after she had that talk with Cade yesterday, her usual vibrant energy dimmed.There’s something off about the way she and Cade interacted, and it’s been gnawing at me since she arrived. But I know that now isn’t the time to dwell on it. We have work

The soft clink of silverware against plates fills the air, the only sound breaking the uncomfortable silence that has settled over the dinner table. I glance between Cade and Ava, my heart sinking as I watch them studiously avoid each other's gaze.This isn’t how I imagined our evening would go…Tonight is the complete opposite of the first time I introduced Cade to Ava back in college. I remember the laughter, the easy conversation, the way Ava had teased me mercilessly about landing such a "catch." Now, the air is thick with tension, unspoken words hanging heavy between us.The smell of perfectly cooked steak wafts up from my plate, but my appetite has vanished. I take a sip of red wine, hoping the rich, velvety liquid will calm my nerves.“So, Ava,” I say, desperate to break the silence. “How’s your research going? Any exciting breakthroughs?”Ava looks up from her plate, her fork pausing midway to her mouth. Her smile doesn’t quite reach her eyes, shadowed with something I can’t q

The early morning air is crisp as we pull into the airport drop-off zone, the sky still tinged with the fading purples and pinks of dawn. I put the car in park, the engine's soft hum filling the silence between Ava and me. For a moment, neither of us moves to get out.I glance at Ava, catching her staring at me with a look on her face I can’t read. There's something in her eyes—sadness, guilt, and something else that makes my stomach churn with unease. I feel my jaw clench involuntarily, a pressure headache already beginning to form.“What?” I ask, trying to keep my tone light despite the tension that’s been simmering between us for days.Ava takes a deep breath, her fingers fidgeting with the strap of her bag. “I just… I want you to know that I’m really happy for you, Elys. You and Cade, Naomi… you have a beautiful family.”Her words should warm my heart, but there’s an undercurrent to them that sets my nerves on edge. I’ve known Ava long enough to recognize when she’s holding someth

Heartprints in the Void Epilogue
⊰ Keegan ⊱Six years.Six years of playing the long game, of carefully maneuvering myself into position.And finally, it’s about to pay off.I stand in Cade Sinclair’s opulent office, my face a mask of professional concern as I listen to James deliver the news about David’s disappearance. The tension in the room is heavy, thick enough to cut with a knife. The scent of expensive leather and polished wood fills my nostrils, not exactly the grimy back alleys and smoke-filled rooms I’ve spent my most of my life in.I’ve been in this game for nearly half my life. The mafia has been my only family since I was eighteen, a scared kid with nothing to lose and everything to prove. Now, twelve years later, I’m Levi Carter’s right-hand man, trusted with the most delicate operations.Like this one.“What do you mean he’s disappeared?” Cade’s voice is low, dangerous. I’ve seen that look in his eyes before—it’s the look of a man ready to burn the world down to protect what’s his. It’s a look I know w
Heartprints in the Void ⊰ 14 ⊱ For a Better Future
The soft afternoon light filters through the gauzy curtains, casting a warm glow over the living room. I'm nestled into the plush corner of our sectional, the fabric cool against my skin. Naomi is curled up beside me, her small body radiating heat like a tiny furnace. The rhythmic sound of her breathing is punctuated by the occasional soft snore, a sound that never fails to make my heart swell.I run my fingers through her silky hair, marveling at how something so simple can fill me with such overwhelming love. The scent of her baby shampoo—a mix of lavender and vanilla—wafts up, mingling with the lingering aroma of the Ramen I made for lunch.I can never get enough of you.Just a month ago, I was sitting in a sterile hospital room, the harsh fluorescent lights burning my eyes as I waited, heart in pieces, to hear if my baby would survive. The memory of that fear, that soul-crushing dread, still haunts me. The beeping of machines, the hushed voices of doctors, the antiseptic smell tha
Heartprints in the Void ⊰ 13.5 ⊱ Family Ties
⊰ Cade ⊱The leather chair creaks softly as I lean back, my eyes scanning the faces of the board members seated around the long mahogany table. A month has passed since the accident, a month of sleepless nights and tense days, waiting for the other shoe to drop. But there's been nothing but silence from my father.Now, as I sit in this boardroom, the empty chair at the head of the table looms large. David Sinclair's absence is a palpable thing, filling the room with unasked questions and uneasy glances.“Ladies and gentlemen,” I begin, my voice steady despite the knot of tension in my gut, “I think we all know why we’re here today.”There’s a murmur of agreement, a shuffling of papers. I can see the mix of emotions on their faces—concern, curiosity, and in some, barely concealed ambition.“My father’s… absence… has left a void in the leadership of Sinclair Enterprises,” I continue, choosing my words carefully. “A void that needs to be filled if we’re to move forward.”I lay out the si
Heartprints in the Void ⊰ 13 ⊱ Confronting Guilt
The harsh fluorescent lights of the hospital room bore into my eyes, amplifying the throbbing in my head. The antiseptic smell burns my nostrils, a sickening reminder of where I am and why. My body aches, each movement sending sharp pains through my bruised ribs, but it's nothing compared to the agony in my heart as I wait for news about Naomi.The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor feels like it's drilling into my skull, matching the frantic pace of my own heartbeat. Cade sits beside me, his hand clasped tightly in mine, his thumb tracing soothing circles on my skin. But even his touch can't calm the storm raging inside me.“What if she doesn’t make it?” The words escape me in a choked whisper, giving voice to the fear that’s been gnawing at my insides. “Cade, what if our baby doesn’t—”“Don’t,” Cade cuts me off, his voice rough but steady. “She’s going to be fine. She has to be.”But I can’t stop myself from spiraling with dark thoughts. Images of Naomi, broken and bleeding, flas
Heartprints in the Void ⊰ 12.5 ⊱ Heartbeats in the Dark
⊰ Cade ⊱The hospital corridor is a blur of white walls and fluorescent lights as I race towards the emergency room. My heart is pounding so hard I can feel it in my throat, each beat a reminder of how quickly life can change.Elysian and Naomi. My wife and daughter. In a car accident.The words keep repeating in my head, a nightmarish mantra I can't shake. When I got the call, it felt like the ground had disappeared from under my feet. Now, as I burst through the ER doors, that feeling returns tenfold.“I’m looking for Elysian Sinclair and Naomi Sinclair,” I bark at the nurse behind the desk, my voice rough with fear and barely contained panic. “They were brought in after a car accident. Where are they?”The nurse, to her credit, doesn’t flinch at my tone. She types quickly into her computer, then looks up at me with sympathy in her eyes. “Mrs. Sinclair is in room 305. Your daughter is currently in surgery.”Surgery..?The word tightens the knot in my chest, making it hard to breathe
Heartprints in the Void ⊰ 12 ⊱ Between Anger and Hope
The shrill of my phone cuts through the quiet of the afternoon, startling Naomi from her play. I glance at the screen, my heart sinking as I see Ava’s name flashing there. Just like it has every day for the past two weeks.I've been avoiding her calls, still raw from the revelation of her involvement in Cade's hypnosis. But today, something makes me pause. Maybe it's the weariness of carrying this anger, or maybe it's the tiny voice in my head reminding me of all the years of friendship we shared.Whatever it is, I find myself answering.“Hello?” My voice sounds strained even to my own ears.“Elys?” Ava’s voice is hesitant, hopeful. “I… I wasn’t sure you’d pick up.”I close my eyes, fighting the urge to hang up. “What do you want, Ava?”“I’m in town,” she says quickly, as if afraid I’ll cut her off. “I was hoping we could talk. Face to face.”Part of me wants to refuse, to shut her out completely. But another part, the part that remembers late-night study sessions and shared secrets,

⊰ Cade ⊱I approach my father’s office, not bothering to knock. I push the door open, stepping into the spacious office that’s been the backdrop for so many of our conversations over the years. The room is bathed in the soft glow of a desk lamp, casting long shadows across the polished mahogany furniture and the floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a panoramic view of the city below.And there he is, David Sinclair himself, looking up from his desk with a mixture of surprise and annoyance on his face. His salt-and-pepper hair is immaculately styled as always, his crisp white shirt a stark contrast to the dark wood of his chair.“Cade? What are you doing here at this hour?”I meet his gaze, unflinching. “We need to talk, Dad. About a lot of things.” I eye him for a moment, letting the words sink in before adding, “Let’s start with the hypnosis.”The color drains from his face, but he quickly composes himself, his features settling into a mask of confusion like the perfect actor he is. “

⊰ Cade ⊱The steady hum of the car’s engine fills the silence as I wait outside the airport. My eyes flick between the arrival board and the rearview mirror, where I can see Naomi peacefully sleeping in her car seat. Her little chest rises and falls with each breath, her dark lashes fluttering against her cheeks. The sight of her never fails to soften something in me, a reminder of what really matters in this world.My phone buzzes, drawing my attention away from her. James’ name flashes on the screen. I answer, keeping my voice low to avoid waking Naomi.“What’s up, James?”“Hey, Cade. Got an update on the board situation.” There’s a pause, and I can almost see him running a hand through his black hair, a nervous tick he’s had since college. “But there’s something else you need to know.”I straighten in my seat, tension creeping into my shoulders. “Go on.”“The Feds have been sniffing around your father’s affairs.”The Feds? What the hell did he do now?My grip tightens on the steeri
Heartprints in the Void ⊰ 11 ⊱ Fragments of Truth
The Florida heat hits me like a wall as I step out of the air-conditioned taxi. I squint against the bright sunlight, taking in the sight of Aunt Irene’s house. It’s been a year since I’ve been here, but little seems to have changed. The palm trees sway gently in the breeze, their fronds casting dancing shadows on the well-manicured lawn.I stand there for a moment, memories washing over me. This house became my home when I was ten, a scared and grieving orphan thrust into a new life. Aunt Irene took me in, raised me as her own alongside my younger cousin Maisie. I wish I could say I have nothing but pleasant memories of it all, but as I walk toward the front door, my steps only seem to get heavier, anxiety gnawing at my insides.Breathe. It’ll be fine.Before I can reach for the doorbell, I hear movement inside. My heart races. I haven’t told Aunt Irene I was coming—partly because I was afraid she’d tell me not to, and partly because I knew I needed to see her face when I asked about
