Jason Do you believe that this time things will work out between you two?” Terence asked. “Because, to be honest, my biggest fear is that you’ll come into your house again and suddenly ask for a divorce and leave everyone with their mouths open and their heads blown.” He made comical gestures as h
Suzy “Hey, you have a visitor today,” the prison guard said when she arrived at my cell. I was in the corner of the bunk, playing with my hair, trying to ignore the annoying voices of my cellmates, those annoying bitches. I hated them, she was disgusting and couldn't leave me alone. Not only that,
Jason His evil laugh on the other end of the line irritated me. “Jason, Jason, Jason. After everything we've experienced together, do you treat me this way? Why do you want to marry her, my dear Jason? You told me it's me you love and not her. Have you forgotten that?” She teased. “Stop the nons
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
