Lilian POV

I woke up to soft morning light filtering through the curtains of our room in Rome. The day promised to be beautiful, and the enthusiasm of the triplets, Ruby, Rory and Ryan, was palpable. Their infectious energy made me smile instantly. I turned to Jensen, who was still sleeping, his face calm and relaxed. The way he was there, calmly, only increased my admiration for him.

“Good morning, Jensen,” I murmured, giving his shoulder a light touch. He opened his eyes slowly, a smile forming when he saw my face.

“Good morning, Lilian. Are you ready to explore the city?” His voice was hoarse, but the excitement in his eyes was evident.

"I am yes! But first, we need to wake the children up,” I replied, getting up and heading towards the children's room.

As soon as I walked in, I found the triplets in a huddle of blankets, still drowsy but with little giggles escaping their lips. “Come on, wake up! We have an exciting day ahead!”

“What’s the first stop, Mommy?” Ruby asked

    Lilian POV The soft sound of children's laughter filled the air as Ruby and Rory played around Ryan, trying to convince him to hold the lemon ice cream they had just received. The afternoon in Rome was perfect, the sky was clear with just a few clouds, and the refreshing breeze balanced the heat of the day. April watched the children fondly, and Philip laughed at Ruby's attempts to get Ryan to try the flavor. Sadie, with her usual patience, helped Ryan hold the cup, and I noticed how he relaxed under her care. "How does she do it?", I whispered to Jensen, who was next to me, watching everything with a loving look. "Sadie has this magical ability to make everything easier for them. I don't know what we would do without her", replied Jensen, with a smile, as our eyes met for a brief moment. His blue eyes reflected the sunlight, and for a moment, I lost myself in that look, remembering how he had been my safe haven in so many moments. "Hey, baby! Take that!" April shouted at Phi

    Lilian POV The night in Rome was magical, as if the city had dressed for the occasion. The golden lights of the lamps reflected on the ancient stones of the streets, and the aroma of Italian food wafted in the air, surrounded by laughter and lively conversation. Jensen and I were on our way to the famous 'Largo di Torre Argentina', a place that has always fascinated me for its history and beauty. “Have you been here before?” Jensen asked as we walked hand in hand, the warmth of his palm comforting me. "No. I always wanted to visit, but never had the opportunity. This place is incredible!” I replied, looking around. The Roman ruins and the cats that roamed freely created a unique and welcoming atmosphere. When we arrived at the square, I couldn't help but be enchanted by the sight. Ancient stone columns surrounded the area, and a small group of cats lounged in the moonlight. “Look, it looks like they make this place their home,” I commented, pointing to the felines sprawled out

    Jensen POV We left Ponte Sisto hand in hand, and the night in Rome seemed to have a special glow, as if the city was conspiring to make that moment even more magical. We walked slowly through the cobblestone streets, illuminated by the soft light of old streetlights. The distant sound of music and the murmur of people around us accompanied us, but my mind was completely focused on her. Lilian looked radiant, her eyes shining with a happiness that made my heart race even faster. “There’s one more surprise for you,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady even as my nervousness grew with each step. “Trust me, I think it will be worth it.” She looked at me with a curious expression and a soft smile. “Another surprise? Jensen, you’ve already done so much today…” “It’s because tonight needs to be perfect,” I replied, lightly squeezing her hand. “For me, it’s so much more than just one night.” I guided her to a place that I prepared with great care: a quiet and almost hidden garden,

    Kate POV I observed the scene in the garden, hidden among the shadows of the trees, with my eyes fixed on Jensen's figure. He was kneeling in front of Lilian, holding a small box in his hands. My entire body shook with rage, and I felt my teeth grinding involuntarily. That scene was simply unbearable. “They can’t be happy… not after everything I did to tear them apart,” I muttered with suppressed fury, the words coming through clenched teeth. Beside me, Finn watched, uneasy. He knew how much that moment meant to me. Seeing them together, as if nothing had ever happened between us… it was too much for me to bear. I turned to Finn, his gaze fixed and cold. “We have to do something,” I whispered, trying not to attract attention. My tone was somber, and he could tell I wasn't joking around. Finn raised an eyebrow hesitantly. “Kate… are you sure? I mean, it’s obvious you want revenge, but…” “You don't understand, Finn,” I snapped, cutting him off with a glare. “Jensen is mine. I

I felt like I was on cloud nine, dancing alongside Jensen, surrounded by the glow of the spotlight and the euphoric laughter of people around us. The night was ours, and, for the first time in a long time, I could breathe a sigh of relief, without that feeling of fear that something could ruin our happiness. Jensen grabbed my hand and pulled me closer, the smile on his lips saying everything we needed to know. "I'm going to get more drinks. Stay here, I'll be right back," he whispered in my ear, his voice filled with a lightness that I hadn't seen in a while. Before walking away, he gave me a quick but intense kiss, the kind that makes you forget about the rest of the world. Watching him walk through the crowd was a reminder of how life had gotten us there. After so many ups and downs, we were back, stronger, ready to start again. And now, with the ring on my finger, I wa

    Jensen POV When I returned to the couch where Lilian was, a smile on her face and two drinks in her hands, the anticipation of toasting our engagement filled me with joy. However, as I got closer, I realized that Lilian was no longer there. Her purse was lying next to the pillow, and this made me conclude that she must have gone to the bathroom. With a slight sigh of relief, I placed the drinks on the table and sat down, waiting for her to return. Minutes passed, and I continued looking around, my gaze getting lost among the people dancing and having fun. The rhythm of the music pulsed like a heart, but my mind was focused only on Lilian. "She should be back soon," I thought, trying to convince myself that everything was fine. But as time passed, the restlessness began to grow. I went to the bar again, hoping that when I returned, she would be back. But when I returned to the couch, I saw no sign of her. I looked towards the bathroom and noticed there was a line at the door. "May

    Lilian POV When I returned to the club, my heart was racing. The lights flickered, and the music pulsed around me, but none of that mattered when I couldn't find Jensen. He should have been there, by my side, celebrating our engagement. What could have happened? Panic began to set in as I searched for him among the smiling faces and dancing bodies. I picked up my cell phone and called him, but the call went straight to voicemail. Butterflies in my stomach made me realize something wasn't right. I looked for him once again, past the groups of friends and the dance floor, but there was no sign of Jensen. Desperation began to grow in me. It was then that I spotted Finn again, standing in the corner, looking more worried than usual. He raised his hand and waved, coming towards me with quick steps and a tense expression. “Finn! Have you seen Jensen?” I asked, trying not to show how much my heart was sinking more by the second. He hesitated, his expression changing to something bet

    I was frozen, paralyzed by the shock of seeing Jensen with another woman, so laid-back and relaxed as if nothing had happened between us. The pain in my chest was overwhelming, a mix of shock, humiliation, and a feeling of betrayal so intense it made everything around me seem like a blur. He had promised me love and loyalty, and here he was, destroying everything we had built with a single action. The air felt thick, and I felt intense nausea, as if my body couldn't support the weight of what my eyes were seeing. When Jensen noticed my presence, he staggered toward the bed, eyes wide. “Lilian… I can explain,” he said, his voice breaking. His words seemed empty and cold, a distant echo unable to pierce the barrier of pain that had already enveloped my heart. I stared at him for a few seconds, unable to say a single word. The tears threatened to flow, but I refused to let them fall there, in front of him. I turned and ran down the hallway, desperate to get away from it. I felt crushe

    JensenThe restaurant was small and discreet, with soft lighting and the unmistakable smell of Italian food wafting through the air. I sat there, my head spinning and my nerves on edge. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the invitation gave me no choice: “I need to talk about Rome. Come alone; let's meet at Mamma Zu.”When she walked in, I couldn't hide the anger that rose in my throat. That red-haired woman. The woman I only knew as the one responsible for making my life hell. I stood up immediately, the table shaking with the impact of my abrupt movement. The other customers in the restaurant looked on curiously, but I didn't care. I just wanted to know what she had to say.I stared at her, not knowing what to feel. The anger, the disgust, everything seemed mixed up inside me. I had no idea how to react, but anger prevailed.“You!” My voice was louder than I wanted, drawing the attention of those at the surrounding tables. “You're the damn woman who destroyed everything!”She didn't

It was as if everyone there was having the best day of their lives. I was busy, as always, taking care of the triplets. Ruby, Rory, and Ryan were so excited, running around.“Ms. Lilian, they are running again!" I warned, trying to keep my voice controlled, but she just smiled. “Sadie, you're doing an amazing job. Just relax a little and enjoy the party too, okay?”I nodded but remained attentive. Working for Mrs. Lilian was more than just a job. I liked them like they were my family. But that night, something different happened.As I ran after Ryan, who was trying to reach one of the sweets on the dessert table, I noticed a boy looking at me. He was standing on the other side of the room, with a smile that seemed a little shy and full of curiosity. He wasn't much older than me, maybe my age, or close to it.I felt my face heat up

    Lilian POVMy hand instinctively rested on my 9-week-old's belly as I admired the party. The dance floor was an organized chaos. The colored lights flashed over everyone, reflecting on the polished floor, while children ran from side to side, trying to imitate the adults' steps. Ruby led the steps, spinning with a smile of pure joy, and Rory tried hard to follow, imitating everything she did but with exaggerated animation. Ryan, of course, was in his own world, doing acrobatics and improvised dance moves with his arms raised as if he were preparing for a big show. "Ms. Lilian, have you ever thought about signing them up for a dance group?" Sadie commented from beside me, smiling as she watched the three of them. “If I can convince them to rehearse and behave at home, maybe,” I replied, with a soft smile. "Or at least Ryan," Sadie added, watching the boy with an amused expression. "He definitely seems like he has uncontrollable energy." “No doubt,” he said, laughing. "But it's

    Lilian POVI was in the bridal room, holding hands with April, watching her with a look full of affection and admiration. She looked stunning in her wedding dress, with the veil delicately falling over her shoulders and the radiant smile that only she had. I felt a pang in my heart. We were there, together, in that special moment, but there was a touch of melancholy in her words."I really hoped you and Jensen were getting married too," April said, her eyes shining with a mix of joy and sadness. "You know, how we agreed... on Christmas Eve, together... I dreamed about this so much."I knew that the episode in Rome had ruined a lot of what we had planned. All of us, April, Phillip, Jensen and I, had been arguing for years about how much it would mean to get married together, but life had other plans. I wanted to say something to comfort her, but the words didn't come easily. Instead, I hugged her tightly."I know, honey. I know... But you and Phillip are here, and that's what matters r

    Jensen POVIn the last few days, my routine has completely changed. After work, I went straight to Lilian's house. I went there for the kids and also because being there gave me a sense of normalcy that I hadn't felt in years. Something about seeing the three of them running around the room, laughing and fighting, brought me a peace I didn't even know I needed. When I parked that afternoon, Ruby was the first to greet me. She opened the door before I even knocked, as if she knew I was there. "You're here, Daddy!" he exclaimed, jumping into my arms with so much energy that I almost lost my balance. "I'm here, my sunshine," I replied, laughing and lifting her into the air. "How was your day?" "Well... but Rory ate almost all of Mom's cookies, and now she's mad at him." "Really? Is he hiding again?" Ruby nodded with a knowing smile and pointed down the hall. "There in the room. I think he knows what he did wrong." Ryan appeared soon after, crossing his arms like a little ju

    Kate Nash POVThe door to my house slammed behind me with such force that it made the entrance frame rattle. The sound echoed, accompanying the throbbing in my head. I was on the verge of a breakdown. Jensen had dared to reject me once again, as if I meant nothing. I hurried across the room, throwing my bag on the couch, not caring where it landed. The normally spotless space felt oppressive at that moment. It all felt like a reminder that despite all my effort, nothing was working as it should. The bar was my immediate destination. My hands shook as I reached for the bottle of whiskey. The golden liquid glistened in the lamplight, almost mocking me. "After everything I've done," I muttered as I poured the alcohol into the crystal glass. The feeling of failure was suffocating. From the beginning, my goal was clear: to get Lilian away from Jensen and make sure he finally saw that I was the only one for him. But he remained blind, trapped in a ridiculous idea of morality and loy

    Jensen POVDriving home after talking to Lilian was like going through a storm. My hands on the steering wheel were tense, and my thoughts were a mess. I respected her decision, but that didn't mean it was easy to accept. I still loved Lilian deeply, and the idea that she no longer saw us as a couple cut me to the core. As soon as I got home, I threw my keys on the counter and sat on the couch for a moment, trying to collect my thoughts. Lilian needed space, and I would do whatever it took to give her that. But giving up on her? Never. After a few minutes, I went up to my room. All I wanted was a hot shower and the chance to erase this day from my mind, even if just for a few hours. But as soon as I pushed the door open, I stopped in place, my entire body tense. "Kate?" My voice was low, but filled with disbelief. She was lying on my bed, wearing nothing but red lace lingerie, clearly waiting for me. His smile was calculated, almost predatory. "Hi, Jensen," she said, her voice

    Lilian POVThe garden was silent, but my mind was anything but. Jensen was sitting next to me, visibly excited today after my talk with Finn."Good God, that guy doesn't get real, right," he was commenting. "Why doesn't he realize straight away that he's never going to have anything to do with you? You don't even like him, he acts desperate, he even went so far as to lie that he was the father of the baby you're expecting. See if he can do that!" He laughed with a shrug, as if he finally felt like he had the upper hand now."Well, you've also done a lot of crazy things to be able to be with me," I reminded him. Jensen wasn't innocent, right? He had done so much to have me in his control. I still vaguely remembered Rustburg...He was giggling awkwardly now. "You're right, Lilie. I did a lot, yes, but it was all because I always knew you loved me, that's why you never gave up." He looked at me with a charming smile. "That's why to this day I don't give up on you."I sighed, feeling the

Jensen went to the living room, playing on his cell phone, while Finn remained in the kitchen, finishing his coffee. I knew that conversation with Finn couldn't be postponed. The time was now. I took a deep breath before calling him, “Finn, we need to talk. Can it be in private?” He looked up in surprise and hesitated for a moment, but then nodded. “Of course, Lilian.” I led him to the back garden, where the fresh air helped calm my nerves. I leaned against the porch railing as he stood a few steps away, hands in his pockets. “Finn,” I began, choosing my words carefully. “I want to understand why you lied to Jensen about the baby. Why did you say you are the father?” He looked away, clearly uncomfortable. He ran his hand through his hair before answering. “Lilian, I did this to protect you.” "Protect?" My voice was louder than I intended, and I crossed my arms, trying to remain calm.
