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,
Suzy“Look, Terence, I’m serious. You don't need to be making all this effort just because you think it's the right thing to do, okay? Please stop that. This is all embarrassing for me; I can't just accept this house and pretend everything is fine,” I told him after he proposed that he wanted to buy
LauraI was giving Suzy some advice about motherhood, telling her what she should and shouldn't do and how she should take care of a baby. “If you can, hire a specialized professional to accompany you in these first weeks; all care is extremely necessary,” I said to her, ending up remembering the t
Laura “Can I try to guess who you’re thinking about? You’re thinking about your boyfriend, aren’t you?” Suzy said it with a suspicious smile. It was true that my thoughts were far away. “Boyfriend… I don’t even know if I have a boyfriend anymore, Suzy,” I said to her with a sad sigh. “What happ
Laura“I'm going to make you a proposition now, Laura,” Gideon said. “Why don’t you come and live with me in London? New opportunities would open up for you there; there is guaranteed security to raise a child, and above all, you would be far from the temptation that Jason Davies makes you go throug
LauraI was stunned by the rudeness of the man's words. "What? I was talking to my daughter; please give her the cell phone,” I asked. “First you talk to me. Do you happen to have plans to separate me from my daughter, huh?” he asked accusingly. “Do you want to go live in London with Bathory, that
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
