The VIP room seemed like it was closing in around us. The opulence of the space was suffocating. The walls were lined with dark, polished wood. The floor was covered in a thick, plush carpet that muffled our footsteps. Every detail of the room was carefully curated to exude power and wealth. I could feel a cold dread settling in my bones.
Malcolm, lounging casually on a velvet sofa, looked up at us with a triumphant grin. He was in his element. A snake in his den. The charm he exuded was tainted by an underlying menace. This man was as dangerous as he was alluring.
"It’s been a long time coming, Cassandra. You know I’ve waited years for this moment," he drawled, patting the space next to him on the sofa.

NoahI could barely hear Cassandra calling my name through the haze of pain and panic. My mind was racing, trying to process the danger surrounding me. I had acted on impulse. But I didn’t regret my decision.At least Malcolm’s focus wasn’t on Cassandra anymore, giving her a chance to escape his advances. My own situation, however, was rapidly deteriorating.The two guards had me pinned down, their grips unyielding and merciless. Josie’s cold voice cut through the tension. “Follow me, boys. And bring that bitch along with you. You guys can have some fun with her,” she ordered. Her laugh was sharp and mocking. A chill ran down my spine.I struggled to escape. But my efforts were futi

NoahI shivered. The cold air mingled with my fear as I slowly opened my eyes. My head was throbbing. My heart pounded in my chest.The room around me was dim. The shadows were thick and oppressive. As if they were trying to swallow me whole. I could still hear the faint echoes of Josie's cruel laughter as she left me to the mercy of those two men.But something was wrong. The weight that had been pressing me down was gone. I blinked, trying to focus my vision through the haze of fear.One of the men lay crumpled on the floor. His body was twisted at an unnatural angle. His accomplice stood over him. His foot drove into the other man's side with a brutal, unrelenting force. The sickening sound of the impact made

NoahMy breath caught in my throat as Josie lifted the gun. Her eyes were blazing with murderous intent. Her gaze was focused on the man who had just saved me."No!" I screamed. Panic and desperation flooded every fiber of my being. I couldn’t let anyone else die for me. Not after what happened to Owen and Raymond.My body moved on its own, lunging toward the man to block the bullet. But before I could reach him, he pulled me down with him in one swift motion. His strong arms cradled my head as we hit the ground together. The world spun as we tumbled.My ear pressed against his chest. In the chaos of the moment, the sound of his heartbeat was all I could hear—a strong and steady rhythm just inches from my

RaymondThe wind whipped against my face as I plummeted down the cliffside. The world around me was reduced to a blur of jagged rocks and rushing air. I hurtled toward the wall of water below with a sickening speed.My heart pounded in my chest. Not only from the fall, but from the image that had been burned into my mind just moments before: Noah’s shocked blue eyes watching me fall, wide with fear and disbelief. “Noaaah!” I screamed her name. My voice was lost in the roar of the wind – I knew she couldn’t hear me. I could only hope she was safe, that she would somehow make it through this nightmare.As I fell, I caught a glimpse of Bob below me. His body collided with a massive rock before disappearing into the tumultuous ocean below. My eyes widened in despair. No, no, no, this can’t be happening!So, this was the end. I’d never imagined dying like this—hurtling toward my death with nothing to grab hold of but empty air. For a moment, time seemed to slow. All I could think about was

Raymond“You seem awfully familiar. What’s your name again?” Malcolm’s cold eyes bore into mine, searching for any sign of deception. His gaze was unnervingly sharp. As if he could peel away the layers of my disguise with a single look. But I didn’t flinch. I couldn't afford to.“David Watson, sir,” I responded smoothly, the alias slipping off my tongue with practiced ease. “I was hired a few weeks ago to replace one of your guards.” I kept my tone steady, my face impassive. But inside, my mind was racing. Would he buy it?Malcolm’s lips curled into a faint, disbelieving smirk as he studied me. “David Watson, huh? Interesting name. There’s something about you… your eyes, maybe.” He leaned in closer, the smell of expensive cologne mingling with something darker—something sinister. “They remind me of someone I used to know.”My heart pounded in my chest, but I maintained my composure. I stared right back at him, not showing any signs of fear. The military had done more than just piece m

NoahI stood there, frozen. My mind refused to process what my eyes were seeing. Raymond was alive. The man I thought I had lost forever was standing before me, flesh and blood. I couldn’t hold back the tears that flooded my eyes as I rushed to him, throwing my arms around his neck. He held me tightly. His embrace was a lifeline in the sea of chaos that surrounded us. His chest heaved with emotion, and I could feel his own tears dampening my hair."I thought I’d lost you forever," I sobbed, my voice breaking with the weight of the grief I had carried for so long. "I couldn’t breathe without you, Raymond."He pulled back just enough to look into my eyes, his own filled with a mixture of relief, sorrow and overwhelming love. “I never stopped fighting for you, Noah. Every second I was gone, you were the only thing that kept me going. I couldn’t die knowing you were still in danger.”I clung to him. My fingers gripped the fabric of his shirt as if letting go would mean losing him again. “

NoahMalcolm stood before us, a deranged figure. Blood was streaming down his face from a wound on his forehead. The crimson trail only intensified the madness in his eyes. His raven hair, no longer slicked back, now jutted out wildly, giving him the appearance of a horned figure. In the shadows, he looked like the devil himself, straight out of hell.His eerie, guttural laugh echoed through the dimly lit alley. It sent shivers down my spine. The gun in his hand was aimed directly at us. His finger was twitching dangerously close to the trigger.Raymond's presence beside me was both a comfort and a curse. His return from the dead had filled me with a hope I never thought I’d feel again. But now that hope was hanging by a thread. Malcolm’s words rattled me to the core.“Raymond... What does he mean?” My voice trembled as I looked up at him, searching his eyes for some hint of the truth. The thought of him being on drugs, of him needing something so desperately, terrified me. I needed to

NoahMultiple men were headed our way. One of them was Simon. Relief flooded through me. When I turned back, I gasped. Malcolm staggered, his face twisted in shock and pain. He looked down at his chest, where a dark stain was rapidly spreading across his shirt. His gun slipped from his grasp, clattering to the ground as he crumpled to his knees.For a moment, there was silence, broken only by Malcolm’s labored breathing. He looked up at us, his eyes wide with disbelief, before finally collapsing to the ground.The devil had fallen.The silence that followed was deafening. No one could believe it—a man as cruel and ruthless as Malcolm Blackwood had hesitated for a woman. The deranged drug lord, the embodiment of evil, was brought to his knees by… love.Simon and his colleagues had arrived just in time, their guns blazing. The shots echoed in the dark night. Each one was a hammer striking down the reign of terror Malcolm and his father had held for so long. As the floored man fought to

NoahI opened the box, and there it was—a delicate golden necklace with a teardrop-shaped ruby nestled at the center. It caught the light with a soft, familiar glow.“Wait a minute… Is this…?”Raymond’s smile widened. “The necklace Owen gave you after you saved his life as a child? It sure is.”I shook my head in disbelief, my fingers brushing over the ruby’s multifaceted surface. This was the necklace that had started it all—the one that ended my relationship with Owen, fractured my friendship with Josie, and, in the end, brought Raymond and me together.“No way… Where did you find it?” I asked breathlessly.He took my hand. “I went to Josie’s apartment after she passed away and found it tucked away in a jewelry box. I remembered the story you told me about it. I just knew you should have it back.”Overwhelmed, I looked up at him, my eyes filling with gratitude. He held my gaze, and we shared a lingering, tender kiss. One that was filled with years of love and unspoken promises. As

NoahThe grand hall was resplendent, draped in soft whites, blush pinks, and touches of gold. Chandeliers sparkled overhead, and the orchestra played a melody that filled the air with romance and elegance. I took a deep breath, looking out over the sea of familiar faces, and then my eyes found Raymond’s.He stood at the end of the aisle, his gaze fixed on me, his smile both proud and tender.

NoahAs I looked at Evelyn, her gentle smile seemed to melt the tension in my shoulders. Her eyes, always so full of determination, held a glimmer of joy as she spoke.“Don’t worry, Noah. It’s good news.”A breath I hadn’t realized I was holding escaped me. “Good news?” My voice was barely a whisper.She nodded, a spark of excitement lighting up her face. “The doctor said… well, they said there’s a chance I’ll walk again. The prognosis is good if I keep exercising, eating healthy, and pushing myself.”My relief quickly turned into a grin as the magnitude of her words hit me. “Mom, that’s amazing!”She wheeled closer, her hand finding mine. Her touch was warm and filled with the quiet strength that I’d come to admire even more through her recovery. “I know, right?” She laughed, her voice tinged with the thrill of newfound hope. “I can’t wait for the day I can pick up Rosie all on my own, to hold her without limits.”We sat there, both smiling, both overwhelmed by the idea that she migh

NoahCassandra’s labor dragged on, stretching through two long days. I felt every minute of it from my room. My worry and helplessness coiled tighter with each update. The doctor had ordered me to stay in bed. Although it felt good to rest, I hated that I couldn’t be there for her. She’d been such a support to me during my own labor with Rosie. Her words had steadied me through every contraction and every wave of pain. Now, here I was, stuck in bed while she struggled on her own.Little Rosie was my solace. Every time I looked at her, I felt a soft warmth spread through me, all the worry and exhaustion melting away. She was a tiny, perfect miracle with her miniature fingers and rosy cheeks. I couldn't stop staring at her. Raymond was wonderful too. He moved back and forth between rooms to check on Cassandra and then back to me, sharing gentle updates that kept me grounded.On his fourth or fifth return, Raymond’s expression was strained. He sat by my bed, taking my hand gently. “She

NoahThe words fell like a stone in the room. My heart stuttered as I looked between her and Raymond, my grip tightening around his hand. “What… what kind of complication?”The midwife took a steadying breath. “It seems your baby may be in a posterior position—facing up, rather than down. This can make labor slower and a bit more challenging.”A wave of worry swept over me, and I felt my breaths quicken. Cassandra placed a steadying hand on my shoulder. “Hey, Noah, breathe. She didn’t say impossible—just more challenging.”The midwife nodded, her tone reassuring. “We’ll try some different positions, some movements that might help encourage her to turn. This happens often enough, and there are ways we can support the process.”I nodded, feeling the tension ease a fraction as I met Raymond’s eyes. He gave me a brave smile, squeezing my hand. “We’ve got this,” he murmured. “We’ll help her get into position, and soon, we’ll be meeting our little girl.”The midwife guided me through some po

NoahI stared, slightly panicked, down at the small puddle forming beneath me. Cassandra brought her hand to rest gently on my arm. “It will be fine, Noah. Looks like your little girl has her own schedule,” she said with a reassuring smile. Her voice was calm and warm. Her words broke through my anxiety. I managed a shaky laugh, nodding in agreement.An employee approached, casting an understanding look at the situation. “Don’t worry about a thing—we’ll clean it up,” she said, a gentle smile on her face. “Good luck!” She gave a supportive nod as we carefully made our way out of the store. Cassandra held my arm to steady me.Once we were outside, Cassandra reminded me, “You don’t need to rush to the hospital just yet. They usually want you to wait until active labor is in full swing.” Her calm certainty helped, but I still felt jittery. I immediately grabbed my phone, dialing Raymond’s number. He picked up after the first ring.“Raymond?” I began, my voice trembling slightly. “It’s ha

NoahThe room erupted in cheers and joyful shouts as pink confetti rained down around us. It took a second to sink in: we were having a girl. Barely containing my smile, I felt Raymond’s strong arms wrap around me from behind. He leaned his head close, his voice a low, gentle murmur. “A little girl, Noah… our little girl.”My heart swelled as I looked at Neil, who was watching the confetti with wide eyes. He had a look of pure wonder on his face. It was the brightest smile I’d seen on him since everything that happened, and I felt a weight lift from my shoulders. He was still healing. But moments like these, surrounded by love, felt like the very first steps toward a new beginning.Evelyn rolled over, her eyes filled with emotion as she held out her hands to us. Slowly but surely, she was regaining control over her muscles. I leaned down to her, and she wrapped her arms around both Neil and me. “Oh, a little girl,” she whispered, her voice thick with joy. “Our family just keeps grow

NoahThe house buzzed with excitement and laughter as we invited everyone inside. Each new arrival was greeted with hugs and cheers. Cassandra's friends—Harper, Lila, and Gia—were here, their faces lighting up when they spotted me. Our trip to Vegas and Cass’s wedding had bonded us. Seeing them again brought a sense of closeness, comfort and normality after recent events.

Noah“Oh, Raymond…” I murmured, my heart brimming with emotion as he knelt before me, the words barely forming in my mouth, tangled up with a happiness that felt almost surreal.He waited patiently, still on one knee. His hazel eyes sparkled with flecks of gold in the bright sunlight. His hand was steady, holding out the ring as if it were a promise. A reminder of how far we’d come. I glanced at my old engagement ring. My fingers trembled as I noticed the way this new ring was designed to nestle perfectly against the first one. It was so unmistakably Raymond—thoughtful, detailed, crafted to fit me like a missing piece.“Yes,” I finally said, smiling through my tears. “Of course, I will marry you… again.”His face lit up with a joy I hadn’t seen in years. He slid the ring into place, its sleek band clicking softly as it nestled against my old ring. The two pieces formed a sparkling whole. As the diamonds caught the golden glow of sunset, it felt like the most perfect reflection of us—
