Laura The next morning, it was Jason who woke me up, and I had to lie in bed for a while thinking about what had happened. The day before had been a show of revelations: we had revealed the sex of our babies, who would both be boys; I had asked Jason to marry me; and the icing on the cake had been
Laura Since the Pritchards' children were there at the mansion because of yesterday's gender reveal party, Annie was happily playing with them in the garden after having breakfast. I could see her from the balcony of the room where I was on the top floor of the mansion. My daughter was so happy tha

Laura Rosanne was efficient on the trip she made to Chicago, not taking many days to get back, and while she didn't return, I followed Vivian's treatment closely. The psychiatrists were doing a great job with her, they were taking care of her and doing therapy with her, so I took her to the garden
Laura “Are you saying she just freaked out?” Jason asked rhetorically as soon as I told him what had happened that afternoon. I shrugged lightly. "At first, she was confusing Annie with me, but then she realized that the girl didn't have all the traits of her daughter that she simply remembers fro
Laura When my mother-in-law returned from Chicago to the mansion there in Manhattan, she brought with her the photo album that she so wanted to show me, which proved that what she had said about having already met my mother was true. “Do you see me here?” She said this as she pointed to a photo ta
Jason Laura was with my mother and Vivian as they gently showed her the old photos in the album that my mother had brought from Chicago to help with her recovery. Vivian still couldn't correlate the photos she was seeing now with her past, things were still a mess for her, and that could take a lit
Jason "Is that why you're wanting to divorce my mother? Are you also going to do the same as Joshua and get married again? You’re not going to tell me that you’re already planning a wedding,” I supposed that to my father as if it were a mere joke, but he knew I was taking it seriously. “To tell th
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,

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

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
