Laura“Don’t believe Graham so much, Lau; you know he just told you all that lie to confuse you and get his hands on your daughter…” Suzy said on the other end of the line, demonstrating that she hadn’t believed that she and I were sisters. I couldn't deny that I felt a twinge of disappointment wit
Laura“Jason? Was he there with you?” Still, on the call, Gideon asked after I summarized a little about the complicated day I had yesterday. I had just mentioned Jason in my report and hadn't even realized that it could make the Brit jealous. I bit my lip, feeling apprehensive, remembering how Jas
Laura “What are you talking about, Jason? Why would Annie and you get in the way of anything?” I questioned him, wanting to know where he was going with that. “Do you think I'm feeling some kind of remorse for talking to my boyfriend while Annie and you are here? Why would I feel bad about that? Wh
TerenceThe day before, everything had been a real mess when Suzy had to be urgently admitted to the emergency room and had to give birth, and on top of that, fight for her life, so she hadn't even prepared herself properly for the whole birth process. Our daughter was leaving the nursery in a few h
TerenceI was still taken aback by Jason's words. I couldn't understand why he kept continuing to insist on a supposed romance between me and Suzy, even though he knew I was married and, therefore, despite everything, I still loved my wife. Furthermore, I went to Laura's apartment, and when I got t
Suzy"What? Are you saying you want to buy me a house because of my daughter?” I asked Terence when he told me that. “Yes, I intend to. You don't have a clear source of income; you have to organize your financial life first, but now Emmy and you need support. It would be more logical for you to acc
LauraI took the opportunity to take a shower and change my clothes right there at Jason's house and then I went to the hospital where Suzy was hospitalized. After much discussion, Jason wouldn't let me take Annie with me to the medical center. “There is a lot of contamination in a clinic; our daug
Laura“Curious how you rush to defend that woman and not stay by my side, since I've always been by your side from the beginning, Laura. You're turning out to be quite ungrateful, you know?” In the middle of the argument, Ava threw it in my face. “What are you talking about, Ava?” I wanted to know,
I blinked, trying to process what he was saying. "But what if... what if I mess it all up again? I’m not perfect, Matt. I have my flaws, my scars." He smiled, a smile both gentle and confident. "No one’s perfect, Lindsay. I’m not either. But you know what? My dad, Killian... he’s not my biological
Lindsay POV We arrived at the hotel after a night that still echoed in me like a good dream. Wyatt was exhausted, which wasn’t surprising after such an eventful day at the Weiss house. He fell asleep almost immediately after I put him to bed, a slight smile on his face that made me feel that, despi
Lindsay POV The dinner was a marvel, an experience that felt like a warm hug in the form of food and company. Emma Weiss insisted that I try every dish she had prepared with such care, and I couldn’t deny how much it made me feel welcomed. "My lasagna recipe is famous," she said with a proud smile,
Lindsay POV The weekend in Atlanta had a taste of novelty and nervousness. Matt had invited me to dinner at his mother's house, Emma Weiss, and the idea of meeting his family left me in a state of anxiety mixed with anticipation. I had never met the parents of someone I was dating since, well, sinc
Laura POV Jason and Terence were terrible singers, but that didn't stop them from diving into karaoke, hitting every note off-key while making their wives laugh with their comedic performance. Ava and I, now alone in a VIP area of the bar, continued the celebration of our daughters' entry into col
Laura POV"This strawberry drink is delicious," I commented, sipping my drink through a straw."Oh, nice. My pineapple one is really irresistible," Ava also commented, smiling, though the smile was somewhat reserved and awkward, just like mine.We were at a luxurious bar, a place that contrasted wit
As we walked, I thought about what Abby had said. It wasn't Caleb who mattered; it was the betrayal of a friendship I thought would last forever. The pain of losing that trust was still fresh, and perhaps that was why I didn't want to think about Caleb at all. But at the same time, there was a part
Annie POV I watched my parents' car drive away with a sense of sadness; part of me wanted to go with them and give up on everything, but I was also excited to start a new life at Oxwell. The sound of the engine fading into the distance seemed to carry away a piece of my childhood, leaving me with a
Jason POV We were in the Oxwell campus parking lot, giving our final hugs before heading back home. Annie was practically engulfed in our embrace, hugging us tightly and saying she would miss us, even though she knew she could come home every weekend. Her hug was a mix of farewell and beginning, so
