Chris stared blankly at the divorce papers in his hand, his mind reeling with shock and despair. He had been expecting this, but it still hurt like a punch to the gut.

He thought about Anne, the girl he loved, and the baby she was carrying. He had no idea where she was or how she was doing, and the not knowing was killing him.

Chris crumpled the papers in his hand, feeling a wave of anger wash over him. Andrew, Anne's father, was behind this. He had always been against Chris and Anne's relationship, and now he was using his wealth and influence to tear them apart.

Chris's eyes stung with tears as he thought about his future without Anne. He had never felt so lost and alone.

Just then, his mother walked into the room, a look of concern on her face. "Chris, what's wrong?" she asked.

Chris hesitated, unsure of how to tell her. But then he just blurted it out. "Anne's father is trying to divorce us," he said, his voice cracking.

His mother's expression turned sympathetic. "Oh, Chris, I'm

    Julian walked into Ed's office, the sound of his footsteps echoing off the walls. Ed looked up from the papers he was studying, a glass of whiskey in his hand, and raised an eyebrow."Julian, what brings you here?" Ed asked, his voice smooth as silk.Julian took a deep breath before speaking. "I've been thinking a lot about our previous conversations, Ed," he said. "And I've come to a realization."Ed's expression turned curious, and he leaned back in his chair. "Oh? And what realization is that?" he asked.Julian's eyes locked onto Ed's. "I want to accept your offer," he said, his voice firm.Ed's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "You want to accept my offer?" he repeated. "Julian, you've turned me down dozens of times. What's changed your mind?"Julian's expression turned introspective. "A lot of things, Ed," he said. "But mostly, it's Anna. She's been through a lot, and I want to be there for her. But I also need to think about my own future, and what's best for me."Ed's eyes narrowe

    Tris stormed out of her room, her eyes red and puffy from crying all day. She was a mess, and she knew it. But she didn't care. She was too angry and hurt to care about anything right now.As she entered the dining room, she saw Ed already seated at the table, sipping his coffee. Tris felt a surge of anger towards her father. How could he keep Julian's departure a secret from her?Without a word, Tris marched over to the table and dumped her breakfast plate in front of Ed. The sound of shattering ceramic filled the air, and the servants rushed to clean up the mess.But Ed held up a hand, stopping them. "Leave it," he said, his eyes fixed on Tris. "I want to talk to my daughter."The servants hesitated for a moment before backing away, leaving Ed and Tris alone.Tris glared at Ed, her anger and hurt boiling over. "You knew, didn't you?" she spat. "You knew Julian was leaving, and you didn't tell me."Ed's expression was calm, but Tris could see the guilt written all over his face. "Ann

    As soon as Tris walked into the mansion, she heard the familiar buzz of her phone. She pulled it out of her pocket and saw that she had a new message from an unknown number.Her heart skipped a beat as she read the message. It was from Chris, and he was asking her to meet him at the old park where they used to hang out.Tris's initial reaction was to ignore the message. She didn't want to see Chris, didn't want to risk falling back into the same patterns that had led to so much heartache.But as she stood there, thinking about the message, an idea began to form in her mind. Maybe, just maybe, this was an opportunity for her to confront Chris, to tell him how she really felt.Tris felt a surge of determination and quickly grabbed her keys. She was going to meet Chris, but not for the reasons he thought. She was going to meet him to finally close the chapter on their relationship and move on with her life.Without looking back, Tris walked out of the mansion and got into her car. She st

    As they stepped off the plane in Spain, Tris felt like a complete idiot. She had no luggage, no clothes, and no idea what she was doing there. All she had was her phone, which was currently residing in her pocket. "Dad, what is going on?" Tris asked, feeling frustrated and annoyed. "If this is some kind of vacation, it's a total fail. I don't like surprises, and I just want to go home." But before Ed could respond, a familiar figure caught Tris's eye. Julian, the guy she had been trying to avoid, was walking towards her with a smile on his face. Tris's heart skipped a beat as she felt a wave of nervousness wash over her. She quickly turned around, trying to compose herself, and opened the camera app on her phone to check her appearance. But before she could even take a glance, Julian's voice was right behind her. "Ed, it's great to see you!" he exclaimed, and Tris's heart sank. She slowly turned around, trying to play it cool, but her eyes widened in surprise as she took in Juli

    The steak dinner was exquisite, and the company was even better. Julian sat across from Tris, his eyes locked onto hers as they chatted and laughed. The round table allowed them to face each other directly, and Tris couldn't help but feel a little self-conscious under Julian's intense gaze.Ed, who was sitting to the side, couldn't resist teasing Julian about his obvious infatuation with Tris. "Julian, you can't take your eyes off my daughter, can you?" he asked, chuckling.Julian's face turned bright red as he looked away, trying to compose himself. Tris, on the other hand, just giggled and looked down at her plate, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment."I'm sorry, Ed," Julian said, trying to laugh it off. "I just can't help it. Anna is... captivating."Tris's eyes met Julian's, and she felt a spark of electricity run through her body. She quickly looked away, trying to play it cool.Ed smiled and nodded, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "I think it's nice to see you two getting

    Tris woke up to the warm rays of sunlight peeking through the window, casting a golden glow over the room. She stretched her arms, feeling a sense of satisfaction and contentment wash over her.As she sat up, she realized she was wearing Julian's shirt, the soft fabric clinging to her skin. She looked down, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment, as she saw her dress lying on the floor.Memories of the previous night came flooding back, and Tris felt a wave of heat wash over her. She had never felt so alive, so connected to someone, as she had with Julian last night.She looked around the room, taking in the scattered clothes, the rumpled bed, and the general sense of disarray. It was clear that they had been in a hurry last night, and nothing else had mattered except being together.Tris smiled to herself, feeling a sense of happiness and excitement. She had never felt this way about anyone before, and she couldn't wait to see what the future held for her and Julian.As she swung her

    As the evening drew to a close, Julian knew he had to take Tris back to her hotel. He walked her to the lobby, feeling a sense of reluctance wash over him. "I wish I could stay with you longer," he said, taking Tris's hand in his. Tris smiled, her eyes sparkling with understanding. "I know, me too," she said. "But you have to get back to the casino." Julian nodded, feeling a pang of duty. He knew he had responsibilities to attend to, but he couldn't help feeling a sense of disappointment. As they stood in the lobby, Julian pulled Tris close, his lips brushing against hers in a soft, gentle kiss. "I'll see you soon," he whispered, his breath tickling her ear. Tris nodded, her eyes shining with happiness. "I'll be waiting," she said. With one final glance, Julian turned and walked away, leaving Tris standing alone in the lobby.

Julian was waiting for her outside, a smile on his face as he saw her approaching. "Hey, how did it go?" he asked, concern etched on his face. Tris smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. "It went well," she said. "I forgave him and we both got closure." Julian's face lit up with a warm smile. "I'm so proud of you, baby," he said. "You're an amazing woman."

"You'll never have to do anything alone again, Anna," he said. "I'll always be here for you." Tris smiled, feeling grateful for the love and support Julian had given her. "I know," she said. "And that means everything to me." They walked hand in hand for a while, enjo

    As Tris thought about Julian's words, she felt a sudden surge of clarity. She realized that she had been holding onto her anger and resentment towards Chris for far too long."It's not his fault," Tris said to herself, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's not his fault that my heart and life fell apart."Tris thought back to the beginning of her relationship with Chris. She had chosen to trust him, to believe in him. And when he had betrayed that trust, she had felt like her whole world had been turned upside down.But as she thought about it now, Tris realized that she had been just as much to blame as Chris. She had chosen to ignore the warning signs, to overlook the red flags. She had chosen to believe in Chris, even when her instincts had told her otherwise."I was just as guilty as he was," Tris said to herself, her voice filled with a newfound understanding. "I chose to trust him, to believe in him. And when he betrayed that trust, I felt like my whole world had been turned u

    Just as the tension between Tris and Alex was escalating, Julian appeared out of nowhere, his eyes scanning the scene before him. When he saw Chris, his expression darkened, and he quickly moved to stand behind Tris, his arms wrapping protectively around her. "Anna, what's going on?" Julian asked, his voice low and even. Tris turned to him, her eyes welling up with tears. "It's Chris," she said, her voice shaking. Julian's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed on Chris. "What are you doing here?" he asked, his tone cold. Chris held up his hands, a placating expression on his face. "I didn't mean to cause any trouble," he said. "I just wanted to start a new life, away from my family and all the drama." Tris snorted, her eyes flashing with anger. "You expect us to believe that?" she said. Chris sighed, his shoulders slumping. "I know I hurt you, Tris," he said. "But I'm not here to cause any more pain. I just want to move on with my life." Julian's arms tightened around Tris, holding he

But as the day wore on, she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong.Julian had been watching her with concern, and he had finally had enough. "Anna, we're going to the hospital," he said, his voice firm.Tris shook her head, trying to protest. "I'm fine, Julian. I just need to rest."But Julian was insistent. "No, Anna. You're not fine. You're vomiting and you have a fever. We need to get you checked out."Tris tried to argue, but Julian was too strong. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her out to the car.As they drove to the hospital, Tris couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. What if something was seriously wrong with her?

    Tris stood in the stables, her eyes fixed on Starlight, her beloved horse. She was trying to hold back tears, but they kept streaming down her face. Leaving the mansion, where she had grown up and shared so many memories with her family, was harder than she had anticipated.Julian had refused to let her sell the mansion, insisting that it was a part of her heritage and that she should keep it. He had also promised to keep all the staff employed, so they could continue to take care of the estate and Starlight.Tris was grateful for Julian's thoughtfulness, but it didn't make leaving any easier. She felt like she was abandoning a part of herself, leaving behind the only home she had ever known.As she stroked Starlight's mane, Tris whispered, "Thank you for waiting for me, girl. I'm so sorry I had to leave you for so long."Starlight nickered softly, as if she understood Tris's words.

    The day of Ed's funeral arrived, and Tris was surprised to see a sea of faces gathered to pay their respects. She had always thought that her father was a cold and arrogant man, and that no one would show up to his funeral.But as she looked around, she saw that she was wrong. There were hundreds of people there, all of whom seemed to have been touched by Ed's life in some way. Tris didn't recognize a single face, but it was clear that her father had made a profound impact on the lives of those around him.Tris felt a lump form in her throat as she gazed out at the crowd. She had been so blind to her father's true nature, and now it was too late to make amends.Julian, sensing her distress, wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close.
