Sabrina's POV

I knew my feelings were valid, but this situation seemed to be against me. In front of two people who should understand and support me, I felt smaller. All I wanted was to see Charlie, but in their presence, that hope felt increasingly distant.

Nicholas took a deep breath, then looked at his mother and Hazel. The tension between them was palpable.

"I know Hazel has taken care of Charlie and kept him safe. But what's wrong with a mother wanting to see her child? Just for a moment, Hazel. Just a moment."

His words echoed in the room, adding a new dimension to the ongoing debate. I felt hope rising within me again, though still shrouded in anxiety. Nicholas was trying to balance their protective instincts with my rights as a mother.

But Hazel remained steadfast. "No, Nicholas. I've already said this is the last time I'll be kind to Sabrina. I don't care what you think, but Charlie is better off without this disruption. Besides, she's just his stepmother!"

    Sabrina's POV I turned to him, gazing with reddened eyes. “I don’t know, Nicholas. Do I still have a place in Charlie's life? Hazel seems like she will never let me see him again.” Nicholas took a deep breath, gripping my hand tighter. “Hey, don’t talk like that. To Charlie, you are still his mother. Nothing can change that—not Hazel, not my mom, no one.” “But Hazel is right, Nicholas,” I said softly. “I’ve been away from Charlie for too long. I can’t blame him if he feels I’m no longer worthy of being part of his life.” Nicholas cut me off. “Don’t say that, Sabrina. Charlie loves you. I can see it when he’s with you. He’s so happy. Just because Hazel acts like that doesn’t mean your relationship with Charlie is over.” I bit my lip, trying to hold back the tears that were welling up. Nicholas moved closer, wrapping his arms around me gently. His warmth made me feel a bit more at ease. “You know, you’re stronger than you think,” he said softly near my ear. “I know this is h

    Hazel's POVI stared at the phone that vibrated again on the table. The name Nicholas was clearly displayed on the screen, making my head throb. For the umpteenth time today, he was trying to reach me. I sighed in frustration, placing my spoon down on the plate and leaning back in my chair. The atmosphere around me seemed to freeze, with only the sound of the ticking clock audible.Today was supposed to be a time for myself, enjoying a cup of hot coffee and savoring a long-neglected book. However, thoughts of Nicholas kept intruding. Our memories swirled in my mind. His smile, our overlapping laughter, and those moments when the world felt perfect. But all of that now felt like a distant shadow, overshadowed by unresolved problems.I turned my gaze to the window, watching the rain fall softly. Each drop seemed to add weight to the burden on my chest. What was it that he wanted to say? Why did he keep trying to contact me despite my clear avoidance? Cu

    Hazel's POV Nicholas may not understand how difficult it is for me to accept Sabrina's presence in Charlie's life. Every time he mentions her name, all the bad memories and uncertainties about our future come flooding back. The pain caused by Sabrina's presence feels like a wound that never heals.I wanted to speak, but my words got stuck in my throat. All the heavy experiences I had to go through alongside Charlie made me feel alienated. Nicholas never truly felt that burden. He may feel caught between two loves, but for me, this is not just a choice. It is protection for my child.In my heart, I know that this decision might complicate things even further. However, the responsibility to keep Charlie safe is far more important than Nicholas's feelings of guilt. In this situation, I must be the strong and firm voice, even if it means facing Nicholas with terrifying uncertainty."Listen, I have tried to be nice, but you keep pressuring me."Th

    Hazel's POV "I will not change my mind, Nicholas," I finally said, my voice cold and firm. "Charlie stays with me, and Sabrina will never enter his life again." I hung up the phone before Nicholas could argue further. Roughly, I placed the phone on the table and looked at Charlie, who was still engrossed in his toys. My heart felt tight, filled with a mix of frustration and despair. All this time, I had given everything for this child and for Nicholas, but somehow it felt like I still had to fight alone.Seeing Charlie smile, I realized how much he meant to me. He was the light in my life, an irreplaceable source of happiness. Yet, behind his smile, I felt threatened. Sabrina's presence loomed, trying to disrupt the peace we had built. I would not let that happen. Not now. Not ever.All the sacrifices I had made felt pointless if Nicholas continued to let the shadow of his past disturb us. Every time he spoke of Sabrina, I felt the emotional wall between

    Hazel's POV Without thinking, I quickly climbed the stairs and opened his room door. "Charlie!" I called, shocked by the sight before me. Charlie sat on the floor with a sketchbook in his lap. Tears streamed down his cheeks, and he still held a crayon, scribbling harshly on the pages. The drawings that should have been beautiful were now a mess, filled with jagged lines that seemed full of emotion. I immediately crouched in front of him, cupping his small face in my hands. "Sweetheart, what are you doing? Why are you scribbling in your sketchbook?" I asked gently, even though my heart felt anxious. Charlie lifted his tear-streaked face. "I don’t like having two Mommys," he sobbed, his voice trembling. "All my friends teased me… They said I was weird for drawing myself with two Mommys." I froze. So this was about that. I looked at his sketchbook. Even through the rough scribbles, I could still see the drawing. It

    Sabrina's POV Nicholas gently stroked my shoulder. "You need to rest too, Sabrina. Today has been tiring for all of us." I nodded, though I was still reluctant to leave Charlie’s side. I wanted to make sure he was really safe. Nicholas took my hand and gently pulled me. "Come on, let him sleep. We need to rest too." Finally, I stood up, glancing at Charlie one more time before following Nicholas to our bed. Tonight had been full of unexpected events, but the most important thing was that we were still together. And that was more than enough for me. Once we lay down, Nicholas turned off the light, and the room became quiet. In the dark, I felt comfortable with Nicholas beside me.

This is a strange place, and we were so worried about losing you." Charlie looked down, his voice soft. "I’m sorry, Dad. I didn’t mean to..." I sighed in relief and kissed his forehead. "The important thing is that you’re back now. But next time, don’t go without telling us, okay?" Charlie nodded quickly, his eyes a bit watery. "I promise, Mom." Seeing the moment between Nicholas and Charlie warmed my heart. Our family was the most important thing, and even though this situation made me anxious, our togetherness provided a sense of safety.

I’m here." I nodded slightly, trying to calm my mind. But I knew this wasn’t over. After leaving the restaurant, we decided to spend time at the famous amusement park in the city.

    Sabrina's POV "Ah, you finally made it. Sabrina, Nicholas, this is my son, Adrian Harrington." Nicholas nodded politely, but I could feel my body tense. Adrian gave me a slight smile before sitting in the empty chair. His eyes bore into me, as if assessing something. His smile didn’t fully convey warmth, and I felt a tension between us. "So, you are Sabrina," he said quietly, his voice carrying something difficult to interpret. I merely nodded and offered a small smile, trying to keep the atmosphere positive. However, deep inside, I felt uncomfortable. There was something in Adrian's gaze that made me feel he knew more than he let on. His sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the outer layer I presented. I struggled not to let that anxious feeling take over, but the mysterious aura around him kept me on guard. My smile felt forced, and I tried to focus on the conversation at the table, even

How about we go see Big Ben and the London Eye?” Charlie’s eyes widened with excitement. “I want to ride the London Eye!” he shouted while jumping up and down. I laughed at his enthusiasm. “Then let’s go before it gets too late.” We walked along the city streets, which were still quite busy.
