When Audrey opened her eyes next, it was already daylight. She was wearing a shirt, either Caspian’s or Killian’s, and she didn’t even remember putting that on last night. Next to her was Caspian sleeping very soundly, but Killian was nowhere around.
Audrey stirred in the bed and felt her muscles tightening and sore. Flashes from last night came to her mind and she knew why her body was feeling this way. Caspian and Killian were trying to prove a point and she heard the message loud and clear.
Caspian felt her body moving and he reached for her. He wrapped an arm around her stomach and pulled her close. Audrey rested her head on his chest and let out a long sigh. Caspian sure had drained her out last night, but when he held her close like this, she felt her energy returning back to life.
“Hey,” Audrey then heard a soft whisper. She tu

~ Audrey ~“Holy freaking shit! You got engaged to Caspian Vanderbilt?!” Mikey exclaimed as he slammed the door open to Audrey’s living room.“Ha, that almost rhymed,” Audrey laughed drily.

Ever since the news of her engagement broke out to the media, the paparazzi went crazy and Audrey couldn’t eat outside in peace.“Audrey Nicole Huntington!” Liv chimed in behind Mikey.

It was going to be their first public appearance in a long time. Even though people thought that it was Caspian and Audrey who were getting engaged, Killian felt like this was as much his engagement too.“Ah, shit. I forgot about that,” Caspian muttered. “You two go ahead without me,”“What?” Killian gaped. “Since when are you bailing on a date?”“I still got a lot of work to do,” he groaned, motioning to the stack of papers on his desk. “This shit’s a bottomless pit.

~ Caspian ~The news of the engagement seemed to be working out well for Audrey and Killian, but that was not the case for Caspian.

And now he was also going to take on roles in the Huntington Empire.Caspian went on a golf trip with his dad and Audrey’s dad last week and it was the most excruciating time of his life.

~ Audrey ~“So, Audrey, I heard you graduated from NYU this year?” Anna Vanderbilt spoke in that calm but sharp tone of hers. She was seated across from Audrey at the long dining table. Caspian was seated next to her and John was at the head of the seat.“Yes, I just graduated this May,” Audrey replied.For most of the night, it was just Audrey and Anna having a conversation. Caspian and his dad were mostly silent. A part of her believed that this dinner was actually an interrogation into Audrey’s life. She didn’t mind it, though. Caspian had it worse when they were meeting her dad. This was nothing compared to that.“And yet you’re already working for your father’s company,” Anna noted. “You must be a very hardworking girl,”“Oh, I’m still learning,” Audrey s

The next thing he knew, Killian was sitting in the back of the limo with Audrey next to him. Her body was shaking a little, and he wrapped his jacket around her in case she was cold.“I’m sorry for what he said,” Killian said after a while of silence. “He didn’t mean it,”Audrey threw her gaze out the window and watched as the car rode through the city. “Do you think this is a charade too? Is what we’re doing even real?” she sighed.Killian cupped her cheek and tilted her face back to him. “I promise you, it’s absolutely real,” he said. “No one can make me feel what I feel when I’m with you.

She was wearing her favorite dress and her hair tied up in a ponytail. She also got her pink backpack and Princess lunchbox with her. Today was her first day in kindergarten. Audrey and Killian were dropping her off in front of the school. Some other kids were crying because they didn’t want their parents to leave them with a bunch of adult strangers, but not Gracie. She was fearless, like her mother. “We’ll be back in a few hours to pick you up,” Killian said and kissed the top of Grace’s head. “Listen to your teachers, be nice to your friends, and have fun,” Audrey added. “Yes, I will!” Grace exclaimed and waved her hands. “Bye, mommy.

She was tapping him lightly, wanting to wake him up. “Mmhm,” Caspian groaned and turned around. He was teasing Grace on purpose. “Daddy, wake up!” she protested. Taking after his daddy, Grace was a persistent girl. She climbed up the bed and climbed on top of Caspian’s body. He was laughing to himself as Grace struggled and got on top of him. “Daddy!” she exclaimed happily as she sat on Caspian’s chest. “Hey, good morning, you,” Caspian chuckled and opened his eyes in defeat. “Good morning, daddy,” Grace was laughing triumphantly and hugging his neck. “Did mommy send you to wake me up?” “Uh-huh,” she giggled. She had her mom’s smile and that made Caspian smile. “Where is she?” he asked. Grace pointed to the floor, meaning downstairs. “Alright, let’s go get her,” Caspian got

~ Audrey ~ “Sweetheart, you’re making all my dreams come true,” Killian’s words made Audrey’s heart swell. Her eyes softened and glazed over. Her hand reached for his face and her thumb caressed his skin. Their eyes were locked onto each other and she stared at Killian as if her life depended on it. “I love you so much, Kill,” she whispered. Killian leaned down and kissed her in response. His kiss was so tender and deep, Audrey couldn’t help the tear falling from her eyes. She was so incredibly happy. And he was too. She could feel it. “I love you too. So, so much more,” he whispered back. Killian pulled her into his chest and Audrey tightened her grip around his neck. She wanted to feel more of him, so she linked her legs around his waist too. Killian held her entire body up with ease and he carried her up to their room. He laid her down gently on the bed, and he stared at her eyes for a moment as he hovered above her body. Audrey was seeing her entire world in Killian’s pier

She was sitting on her chair with a pink dress on, staring at everyone in front of her. Her biggest fans in the world were in the room, her mommy, daddy, grandpa Max, grandpa John, and grandma Anna. Even uncle Mikey, Uncle Sebastian, Auntie Liv, and Uncle Benji were there too. Audrey and Killian invited their closest friends and family to attend an intimate weekend celebration for Grace’s first birthday party. They wanted it to be extra special, so instead of doing a house party at their home in Brooklyn or at the Vanderbilt mansion, they decided to have it in Bermuda, the place that inspired her namesake. The Vanderbilt villa was big enough to house everyone. And out in the garden, Audrey, Mikey, Liv, and Benji had dec

She thought for a moment before her hand reached for the keyboards again. And just as she was about to start typing, she heard a loud cry coming from the next room. Audrey immediately knew what that cry meant. After listening to her baby’s cries for six months, Audrey could tell what she needed just by the way she cried. Getting up to her feet, Audrey quickly went to the nursery. She opened the door to see Killian and Virginia, their postpartum doula, picking up baby Grace from her crib. Yes, following their busy schedules, Killian and Audrey thought it’d be a great idea to have a doula live in their home and help with the baby. Virginia was a highly experienced postpartum doula in her mid fifties. She had great insights and support on infant feeding, infant soothing, and coping skills for new parents. She also

Not being able to sleep was a normal thing for him, but there was another reason why he couldn’t sleep tonight. Tomorrow was a big day for him and Audrey. It was the day where their baby girl would come into the world. Audrey decided that she wanted to do a homebirth. They didn’t have the best memories the last time they were in a hospital. And Audrey felt most relaxed and comfortable being at home. Dr. Shepherd, who was closely monitoring Audrey and the baby, agreed that home birth would be a viable option. So they set on a date, got all the equipment ready, hired a midwife-nurse, and set aside a hospital transport just in case. Tomorrow was the D-day and Killian was too nervous to sleep. He kept checking the clock to see if the hour hand had moved. Audrey seemed like she was nervous too. It was about eleven-thirty at night and she was usually asleep by now. But tonight, she wasn

I’ll come up and see him,” she said quickly and winked. “It’s a surprise,”The receptionist nodded her head and opened the door to the private elevator leading up to Killian’s office.

She hadn’t seen Benji, the Vanderbilt’s personal tour guide, since their last visit to Grace Bay two years ago. “It’s been so long since your last visit. Congratulations on the wedding,” he said as he took their luggage and put it in the trunk of the car. “And I am sorry to hear about Mr. Caspian. I cry when I see the newspaper,” “Thank you, Benji. I appreciate it,” Killian replied. Though Benji’s English wasn’t particularly great, Audrey could see the sincerity in his eyes. He must be sad to hear about Caspian’s passing.
