The meeting with Daniel had left Emma in turmoil. His plea for her safety, the mysterious threats, and the revelation of the shady deal all swirled in her mind. As she walked back to the apartment, she couldn't help but think of Lily and how her daughter’s safety was paramount. Daniel’s urgency had been palpable, and it made Emma realize just how precarious her situation had become.

As she approached the building, the scene outside stopped her in her tracks. In the dim light, she saw Michael and Jessica in an intimate embrace, their bodies close and foreheads touching. Jessica was crying, her tears glistening under the streetlights, and Michael’s hands gently caressed her face.

“Jessica, I can’t keep doing this,” Michael murmured, his voice low and filled with emotion. “We have to stop meeting like this. It’s not fair to Emma.”

Jessica clung to him, her voice desperate. “Michael, you know how much I need you. After everything we’ve been through... I can’t face this alone.”

    Michael’s pov The silence of my empty home was deafening. Every corner of the house felt hollow, each room a reminder of what I'd lost. Emma's departure had left a void I couldn't fill. Shame washed over me when I thought about the moment she caught Jessica and me. My excuses were pitiful, and I knew it. David's words haunted me. His harsh truths about my intentions with Emma left me feeling vulnerable. I couldn't refute him. Emma deserved better, and I had failed her. That night, after Emma packed her suitcase, she spent the night in the guest room. I couldn't sleep. The bed felt too big, too cold without her. I stared at the ceiling, replaying the day's events over and over. In the morning, I watched as Emma walked out with her suitcase. I begged her to stay, pleaded for another chance, but she remained resolute. Her calmness, her lack of anger or tears, only deepened my sense of failure. She didn't even want to fight for me, and that realization cut me deeply. Days passed, and

Picking up my phone, I dialed the number of my colleague and friend, Dr. Laura Mitchell."Laura, it's Emma," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I need a favor.""Of course, Emma," Laura replied, concern evident in her voice. "What’s wrong?"I explained my situation briefly, and Laura didn’t hesitate. "You can stay with me for as long as you need. My guest room is always ready.""Thank you, Laura. I really appreciate it," I said, feeling a small sense of relief.The next morning, I packed my suitcase and moved into Laura’s apartment. She welcomed me warmly, offering a cup of tea as we sat in the living room."So, what happened?" Laura asked gently.I sighed. "It's a long story. Michael and I... we’re over.

    Michael's POV David's call came in just as I was about to leave the office. The urgency in his voice made my heart race. "Michael, we need to talk about Emma," David said, not bothering with pleasantries. "Can you meet me right away?" "Of course," I replied, already grabbing my keys. "Where?" "Let's meet at the coffee shop near your place. I'll be there in fifteen minutes." I drove there, my mind swirling with worry and confusion. David was rarely this direct, and his tone suggested something serious. When I arrived, David was already seated at a corner table, his expression grim. I sat down, my pulse quickening. "What's going on, David?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. He leaned in, lowering his voice. "Emma's been getting cryptic messages. They've been threatening her, and they involve you." My stomach dropped. "What? Why didn't she tell me?" "That's what I wanted to know too," David said, looking just as troubled. "She never mentioned it to me either, bu

    Daniel’s pov The phone buzzed violently in my pocket, the screen flashing with an unknown number. My heart sank, a gnawing dread already telling me who it was. I answered, my voice steady but my hands trembling. "Daniel," the voice on the other end was cold, calculated. "If you want to see Lily again, you and Emma need to come to the old warehouse on the outskirts of town. Come alone, or she dies." "Please, don’t hurt her!" I pleaded, my voice breaking. "We’ll come. Just don’t hurt her." "You have two hours," the caller said, and the line went dead. I turned to Emma, my face ashen. "They want us both to go. It's a trap, but we have no choice." Emma's eyes widened with fear but also a resolute determination. "I'm coming with you." "No, Emma," I begged, grabbing her hands. "It's definitely a trap for you. I can’t let you go." "I won’t let you go alone," she replied firmly. "Lily needs us both. We go together." Despite my protests and desperate attempts to convince her otherwise

    Michael’s pov I sat beside Jessica’s hospital bed, holding her hand gently as she slept. Her heart condition had taken a severe toll on her, and watching her struggle was painful. I adjusted her pillows and smoothed her hair, my mind swirling with worry and affection. Despite everything, I couldn’t ignore the feelings I had for her. Suddenly, the sound of ambulance sirens cut through the calm, jolting me from my thoughts. I glanced at the door, my heart rate quickening. Moments later, a nurse burst in, her face pale with urgency."Dr. Thompson, you're needed in the ER. There's been an emergency."I squeezed Jessica’s hand one last time before rushing out of the room. My mind raced as I made my way to the ER, wondering what kind of case awaited me. When I arrived, the scene that greeted me made my heart drop.Emma and Lily were huddled together, crying hysterically while clutching Daniel’s unmoving body. Blood pooled beneath him, and the sight was gut-wrenching. I felt a wave of drea

    Emma’s pov The incessant beeping of the machines in the ICU became a cruel reminder of the fragility of life. I sat beside Daniel’s bed, my hand clutching his, my heart heavy with guilt and sorrow. The sterile smell of antiseptics filled the air, mingling with the faint scent of flowers from a bouquet someone had left. I hadn't slept in days. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the warehouse, the gunshot, Daniel lying still on the ground. My mind was a whirlwind of regret and fear. I whispered to him, my voice trembling. “I’m so sorry, Daniel. I should have protected you. Please, come back to us.” Michael visited often, checking on Daniel, providing updates. His presence was a strange comfort, a reminder that not everyone was lost. Yet, every time he entered the room, I saw the conflict in his eyes—a blend of professional duty and personal longing. Just as I began to doze off, a commotion erupted. A beautiful woman stormed into the ICU with fury. I recognized her at first glance

  • His Unfinished Love Story   Dear Reader

    Writing "His Unfinished Love Story" was like talking to a friend for me. It came from a place where I was struggling with family stuff, and I didn't really have anyone to open up to—no best friends or unbiased family members. Counseling wasn't my thing, so I poured it all into this book instead. This story is a mix of real-life vibes and make-believe, exploring all kinds of love—whether it’s the love for a parent, a sibling, a friend, or even the complicated, sometimes obsessive kind. What I've realized is that no type of love is superior; they all just... are. And while love can push us to do crazy things, it's not a free pass to mess up and just expect forgiveness. That kind of forgiveness, the kind that really matters, comes from a higher place. I hope my book helps you sort out your own feelings, find some peace, or maybe even close a chapter that's been open too long. Thanks for diving into this journey with me. Here's to finding your peace, whatever that looks like.

    **David’d POV** I stand there, by Scarlet’s resting place, with the familiar weight of white roses in my hands—her favorite. It’s a clear morning, the cemetery dappled with sunlight, peaceful and introspective. As I place the flowers down, I can’t help but feel a blend of solace and sorrow, her diary's words echoing in my mind. “Scarlet,” I start, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside. “I’ve read every page you left behind. It’s like having a part of you still here with me, and I’m grateful for that. You always had a way of making the world a bit brighter, even in writing.” I pause, taking a breath as I look around, feeling her presence. “You know, Emma and Daniel are back together. After everything, they’ve found their way back to each other. You worried about them, I know. But they’re happy, truly. Daniel once told me that without her, he’d be lost... an unfinished love story. Well, they’ve got their happy ending now.” My voice falters as I touch the cold stone, a part o

    **Daniel’s POV** This morning, I can barely stifle my laughter as Lily, almost six and full of sass, unleashes a spectacular tantrum over her cereal. She’s just found out we got married without her and took a sneaky honeymoon to Santorini. “You guys are the worst secret keepers ever!” she declares, pouting. I try to explain. “Sweetie, you had school, remember? And honestly, it was just a quick vow exchange—super boring, no big party or anything.” She’s not buying it. “But I could’ve skipped school! You think I wanted to do math instead of going to a beach?” Emma jumps in, grinning. “Trust me, you wouldn’t have enjoyed Santorini. We ended up talking to the police more than we swam!” “Yeah, you should thank us. It was a disaster!” I add, chuckling. Lily's not amused. She crosses her arms. “Next time, I’m coming. No more vacations without me.” Emma and I exchange a look, suppressing our laughter as we nod in surrender. “Deal,” we chorus. I hustle to get Lily ready for scho

    **David’s POV**Here in my New York apartment, as the relentless city rain echoes my mood, I find myself repeatedly drawn to the old, worn pages of Scarlet’s diary. This morning, the echoes of last night's indulgence weigh heavy, a migraine pulsing in the background as I numb it with the usual analgesic. But the diary demands attention once again.I flip to the last entry, a letter penned for me, her "Bumblebee," written in a moment of profound solitude and clarity.---**Scarlet’s Letter to me:**My dear Bumblebee,As I write this, sitting in the quiet of my unwanted sanctuary, the light of hope is dim, nearly extinguished. Yet there's a strange peace in knowing you’re out there, free from the burden of me.

It was never just brotherly love or friendship; it was a calm, steady love that I mistook for mere companionship while I allowed myself to be consumed by Michael's t

    **Daniel’s POV** *At the police car* The first streaks of dawn had barely lit up the horizon when Emma and I, handcuffed in the back of a Greek police car, were driving towards the station. The situation was, admittedly, absurd, and Emma's reaction was equally dramatic. "Why, Daniel? Why is every crazy adventure with you ending up with the police?" Emma half-yelled, half-laughed, her annoyance fighting with amusement. "Oh, come on, love. We could charm our way out. I'll start praising their baklava and yoghurt—say it's all Greek, not Turkish!" I teased, trying to lighten the mood. "That's your plan? Really?" Emma was not amused. “Maybe I could add some sugarcoating to their weird alphabet, too?” I kept teasing. "We've been married less than a week, and you're already pushing for an annulment, huh?" "Technically, it'd be called an annulment, yes," I chuckled, winking at her. She lunged at me, stopped only by the seatbelt, while the police officer in the front warned

She looks around, her confusion melting into a surprised smile when I explain, "I’ve been planning this day with my lovely in-laws for 2 months now." "Why isn’t Lily here then?" she asks, a hint of worry in her tone. I can barely keep the grin off my face as I lean in, whispering the next surprise. "Because, my love, we’re jetting off for a week abroad for our honeymoon." Emma's eyes widen, a mix of excitement and concern dancing in them. "But I need to take annual leave from the hospital," she counters, her voice tinged with anxiety. I put on a sad face, playing up my disappointment. "How can you not trust me with my meticulously arranged plans?" I complain, only half-joking. Her gasp when I tell her everything's been handled is absolutely worth it. "And where exactly are we going?" she probes, curiosity overtaking

    **Emma’s POV***A month later*The thrill of feeling like my old self was palpable as I walked through the familiar scenic route of “the plateau” of my high school. It felt like stepping back into a life I'd put on pause, now ready to play at full volume. My phone buzzed, breaking my reverie. It was Dr. Patel, my old boss, and the last person I expected to call me after the way I'd left things."Emma, I've got a proposition for you," Dr. Patel's voice was as brisk and businesslike as ever. "How would you feel about coming back as an endocrine fellow?""But... after everything?" I asked, my brow furrowing."Let's just say I've made some calls. Your record's clear and, frankly, we need you. Are you up for it?" There was a hopeful note in her voice that warmed me a little."Okay, what do I need to do?" My heart started to race with excitement."There’s the Subspecialty Equivalency Examination next month. Pass that, and I’ll talk to the CMO about getting you a spot," she explained."Coun

I stretched lazily, enjoying the rare luxury of a slow morning, but the sound of the doorbell sliced through the tranquility. Puzzled, I slid out of bed and shuffled toward the sound, my thoughts still tangled in the threads of sleep.Peeking around the corner, I saw Daniel chatting with my mom in hushed tones, the only word I could hear was “passport.” His back was to me, but I could tell by the way he was gesturing that he was excited about something."What's going on?" I asked, rubbing my eyes as I approached.Daniel turned with a start, a sheepish grin spreading across his face. "Morning, sleepyhead! Just sorting out some paperwork with your mom. Nothing to worry about," he winked, a twinkle in his eye.My mom, ever the conspirator, gave me a knowing look but kept her lips sealed. "Why don't you get ready, dear? Dani
