Emma White's P.O.V.

My heart was in my throat from the moment I got into the car with Jason. Being here with him was an outright act of defiance against Mark, and all I could do was pray it wouldn't end badly. Not only had I snuck away from the funeral of my father's business partner, but I hadn't even greeted my fiancé. My only comfort was that Jason had been careful with our escape.

He figured out a way to get the car out of the parking area without drawing attention. He stopped by the roadside to pick me up from the bushes where I'd hidden. I'd been watching over my shoulder constantly, but there was no sign of anyone following us. I'd turned off my phone, and I'd seen him do the same.

After a few minutes of driving, Jason pulled into a pharmacy and came out with supplies for my arm. The next stop didn't help the rhythm of my heart—it was a secluded motel, far from everything. My fingers gripped the hem of my dress tightly.

"Sorry this is the best place I could think of," he sai

    I stopped caring about my fears—about him, about his feelings for other women. If I had made it this far, I was ready to risk everything for a kiss. Leaning in, I closed the distance between us and pressed my lips to his.I moved my lips softly against his, coaxing a reaction. After a few seconds, he responded, his lips enveloping mine with a mix of tenderness and firmness. He pulled me closer, and I realized that no amount of time had diminished this love. It felt like the first time yet also like the comfort of a familiar embrace."Emma..." he whispered, trying to pull back, but I wouldn't let him. I kissed him again, refusing to let him go."Your lips are the only solace I have... don't deny me this," I pleaded.Despite my words, he managed to turn his face away slightly."If the rumors are true, don't do this to yourself..." he said, guilt weighing heavily in his voice."What rumors? People have said so much about me it's hard to know what's real and what's not.""They're sa

    I was floating in a cloud of comfort I didn't want to leave, but my body jolted involuntarily, shaking me awake. As my eyes fluttered open, I realized my apartment was bathed in the shadows of the night. Everything was dark and quiet—I had fallen completely asleep.Lawrence was still sprawled across my legs, fast asleep. He looked so peaceful, almost childlike, and it struck me just how exhausted he must have been. I blinked several times, trying to focus my vision in the dim light, then reached out to fumble for my phone where I'd left it nearby.When I finally found it, the time surprised me—it was past midnight. My notifications were overflowing with unread messages from earlier in the evening including one from Jason. He'd written about an hour ago, apologizing and explaining that an emergency had come up, but he promised to return my car tomorrow.Raising an eyebrow, I couldn't help but smile. I could imagine exactly what kind of "emergency" he'd had. I set the phone aside and

    "You don't have to apologize for anything, Sara," Lawrence said softly. "It's not like I suffered being around you all those years. And I never told you because I was scared... scared you'd push me away. That was my issue, not yours—never yours. But I took it out on you by keeping my distance, making excuses to avoid you."My heart pounded, drowning out everything else. I couldn't stop myself from speaking the truth I'd been holding back."If you know that... why do you keep making excuses?" I asked. His eyes widened in shock. "I'm here, Lawrence. I could be here for the rest of your life if you just stop running.""Sara... I..." His voice trailed off, conflicted.I placed my hand near his mouth, closing my eyes as I shifted to get more comfortable."Think about it. That's all I'm asking. Just think about it."And with that, I fell asleep faster than I expected. Lawrence had a decision to make—I'd already made mine.-When I woke up, it was daylight. I was alone on the couch, t

    I hated vomiting—it was one of the most disgusting things in the world. Yet, there I was, hunched over the toilet, throwing up bitter, clear liquid. Lawrence knelt beside me, holding my hair back and gently patting my back. I felt utterly miserable.After a few more dry heaves, my nausea subsided by a fraction—just a tiny fraction."I want to die. I feel so awful," I groaned, lifting my head weakly."Why are you throwing up? Did you get up in the middle of the night to eat something?" he asked, rolling off some toilet paper to wipe my mouth. Somehow, this had become the most romantic situation we'd ever been in."No, it was that bacon. It looked and smelled bad—it must've been spoiled," I muttered, my stomach still churning."Spoiled? But I tasted it—it wasn't bad..."I shouldn't have imagined him eating it, but I did. The thought of that greasy, awful-looking bacon made my nausea return, though this time it was only dry heaves."Does anyone in your family or circle have a virus

    Lawrence stared at the test with an expression I couldn't decipher. It was as though disbelief had taken over his face. My stomach twisted like I was on a rollercoaster about to drop as he turned the test toward me.On the little screen, the words were unmistakable:"Pregnant 3+"My hands flew to my head, and my eyes filled with tears. Without a word, I sank to the floor and started sobbing."My little bean is already heading to kindergarten and I didn't even know," I wailed hysterically.Lawrence burst into laughter. He tried to suppress it, but it bubbled over until he was both laughing and crying at the same time. Somehow, his reaction triggered something in me, and I started laughing too, the absurdity of it all overtaking my despair. He crouched down to my level, wiping my face gently with his hand."You're insane, you know that?" he said, his tone soft despite the teasing."I'm also psychologically pregnant," I rambled, barely able to stop myself. "This is all a dream. We'

    "Tell me about your symptoms—when was your last period?" Natalie began her interrogation, her voice professional yet curious.With every answer I gave, my last shred of hope dwindled. No false positives, no psychological pregnancy—just reality staring me in the face. When I brought up the faint possibility of it being a mistake, Natalie just shook her head and gestured toward the examination table."Let's check. Lie down, and I'll do an ultrasound," she said firmly.Sitting on that cold, sterile table felt like being sentenced. My eyes darted toward the screen, hoping—praying—for the sight of an empty uterus. But Natalie said nothing, and her silence only heightened my anxiety.Lawrence's hand suddenly slipped into mine, grounding me. I closed my eyes, willing the universe to rewind the clock. I didn't need Natalie to say it—I already knew what was coming."You'll need to open your eyes, Sara," Natalie said gently. "There's a little one in there."The tears came instantly. They b

    Accepting that I was pregnant—that a life was growing inside me—wasn't easy. It left me in a state of dazed reflection, grappling with thoughts I'd never entertained before about human life. For every awe-inspiring realization, there were two terrifying ones that followed.That was the mental loop I was stuck in. Lawrence and I sat on my couch; he was absorbed in the movie we were supposed to be watching together, but with a million thoughts swirling in my mind, focusing on the screen was impossible. My legs rested across his lap, my head propped against the arm of the couch.The way Lawrence absentmindedly stroked my knee and occasionally rested his hand on my stomach was soothing, comforting even. And yet, this comfort was what sparked both my awe and fears.The awe? During this pregnancy, Lawrence had been treating me like I was the center of his universe. It had been two days since we found out about the baby, and in that time, we'd completely disconnected from the outside world

    "Could you carry me? I'm tired of creating life over here," I teased with a smirk.Lawrence chuckled and grabbed the remote, turning off the TV before scooping me up princess-style. He carried me to the bedroom we'd been sharing these past few nights. The gesture was romantic and sweet, but tonight, I wanted more.As soon as he laid me on the bed, I pulled him down into a kiss, letting my lips convey my intentions. Lawrence froze for a moment before pulling back slightly, looking at me with confusion."What... are you doing?""What do you think I'm doing?" I said, trailing kisses down his neck. "Pregnancy hormones, Lawrence. I need you—you can guess for what."He looked like he was using every ounce of willpower to restrain himself, and for the life of me, I couldn't understand why. He had told me he would cancel the wedding, we were together, and we were having a baby. What was there to hold back?"Sara..." He gently but firmly separated himself from me. "I don't want to take ad

    Sara Brown's P.O.V."Didn't we agree you wouldn't come, Mom?" Richard asked, his voice low and disappointed."Richard, you too?" Victoria exclaimed, her voice trembling with a mix of hurt and indignation."What else did you expect, Victoria?" Julian interjected, crossing his arms. "We practically had to beg Sara for permission just to see Matthew. Meanwhile, you've done nothing to make amends yet here you are, demanding things. That's not how this works.""Do you want me to apologize to Sara?" Victoria's voice cracked as she looked at me, her emotions on full display.I would never trust Victoria, and I certainly would never leave my son alone with her unsupervised. But in this moment, her vulnerability chipped away at some of my hardened resolve. Life had been so good lately, so full of joy and love, that my heart no longer had room for resentment."You don't need to apologize to me," I said calmly. "The people you owe an apology to are your sons."Victoria's eyes widened, her

    Sara Brown's P.O.V.Six months later.Becoming a mother was one of those adventures I never knew I needed, but I'd never been more grateful for taking the leap—especially with Lawrence by my side. Now, here we were, standing in front of a flower-draped altar nestled in the woods of the Brown family estate.Getting married in this spot felt symbolic. It had been our sanctuary as kids, the place where we'd escaped from the grown-ups and shared secrets. It was fitting that my best friend, the boy who'd been by my side through thick and thin, was now becoming my husband.Behind us was a small gathering of family and close friends. The Browns—ever-expanding with a small army of kids—were all present, as were a handful of Lawrence's relatives, including his brothers, Richard and Julian. We'd kept the guest list to just sixty people, making this a more intimate celebration than anyone would've expected from a Brown-Lewis wedding.Still, it was perfect. Everyone we loved was here. And the

    I looked at our baby's tiny face, and the urge to cry overwhelmed me again. He was absolutely perfect."Are you going to keep crying?" Sara teased with a mischievous grin. "If you don't stop, I won't give you another one."I wiped my tears immediately, not wanting to take any chances. She burst out laughing, her radiant energy filling the room."So," quickly shifting topics, she leaned forward slightly, "what are we naming him? We agreed we'd know when we saw him. I've got a name from the shortlist in mind. Do you?""I do," I replied, smiling."Okay, let's say it together," she suggested, and I nodded. "On three. One, two, three—""Matthew!" we both exclaimed in unison.We stared at each other before breaking into matching grins. Sara started clapping in excitement over our perfect sync. I laughed at her enthusiasm, but something on the hospital TV caught my attention—a news report about yesterday's gubernatorial election. Images of Isabelle, the winner, flashed across the scree

    Lawrence Lewis's P.O.V.Three months later...Just when I thought I couldn't be any happier with Sara loving me, life proved me wrong. Every day felt like a new peak of joy. A few months ago, I believed I had reached the ultimate high when she accepted my proposal during our trip to Finland. I'd asked her under the northern lights in a private and intimate moment, just the two of us—just like our entire relationship had been.The fallout from canceling my engagement to Emma had been relatively manageable for me. There were no financial or legal repercussions, and I narrowly escaped the disgrace of almost becoming the son-in-law of a criminal like Mark. But to say I avoided all drama would be a lie. The rumors and gossip surrounding how Sara and I had gotten together were relentless.I was usually a calm man, but any criticism aimed at Sara, accusing her of "breaking up" my previous engagement, turned me into a beast. Sara would always tell me to ignore the noise, that only we knew

    I stood there frozen, feeling every gaze lock onto me. It was as if time had stopped. No one spoke, no one moved—they just stared. Sweat started trickling down places I didn’t even know could sweat.“Hi… how’s everyone doing?” I asked, my voice hesitant.I braced myself for the shouting, the dramatic exclamations, the scolding even. Instead, the extroverted ones in the room simply smiled at me while the quieter ones went back to what they were doing, almost as if nothing had happened. The initial wave of attention just… evaporated.“As I was saying,” Uncle Lucius continued, picking up right where he’d left off, “if you don’t finish your vegetables, we’ll give them to the lion in the forest.”My jaw dropped. This table—the entire Brown family—was completely unfazed. Even Lawrence had that knowing smile on his face, almost as if he’d expected this exact reaction. Before I could recover, Aunt Lucia and Aunt Marianne came over and pulled me into tight hugs.“You look gorgeous, Sara. A

    Richard's voice broke the silence as he gathered his courage. "We'd like to add Duke and Monarch for me, and the boat for Julian. With that, we'll be ready to sign the agreement."I rubbed my ears, almost certain I had misheard."The horses and the boat? That's all you want?" Lawrence asked, his tone tinged with disbelief."Yes," Julian confirmed, his voice hesitant. "We believe... they're of great sentimental value to us. And they were gifts. They just... weren't officially transferred to us."Lawrence's eyes darted between them as if trying to confirm whether these were the same brothers he'd been fighting with."That's it?" he repeated, his suspicion evident."That's it," Richard said, though his discomfort was plain to see."What are you two plotting?" Lawrence asked, narrowing his eyes.The twins exchanged confused glances."Nothing?" Julian said, his tone growing defensive. "What are you plotting? You told us you wouldn't give us anything but then sent this offer out of

    I couldn't help but notice the sadness etched onto Lawrence's face. He'd always said he wouldn't give his brothers anything. Yet here he was, not only offering them a portion of the inheritance but also bracing himself for their inevitable demands and negotiating with them."Wouldn't it have been easier to just offer them exactly what you were willing to give from the start?" I asked as I leaned against his shoulder, wrapping my arms around him. His sadness was palpable, and it was breaking my heart. Just moments ago, he'd been so happy. "Just say 'Take it or leave it' and then forget about them."Lawrence sighed, his gaze distant. "I know them. And I know myself. I can't lay the blame for all my hardships on them like I do with Victoria. Despite what I said during the will reading, I know they deserve more than what my father left them.""You have a heart of gold, Ren," I murmured, kissing his cheek. "Don't let those brats melt it down, okay?"He chuckled softly, though his sadnes

    I swayed my hips rhythmically against his body, the two of us joined in that intimate connection we'd rediscovered nearly every night since the chaos with a certain corrupt official had come to an end.As Lawrence neared his release, he called my name, his voice rough with passion. I teased him by sucking on the thumb he'd slipped into my mouth, which was all it took for him to shut his eyes tightly as the force of his climax overtook him. I followed him into that blissful release just a moment later.Utterly satisfied, I collapsed beside him on the bed, both of us completely naked, basking in the warmth of each other's bodies. My breathing was still ragged as Lawrence shifted closer, his hands roaming gently over my hair, my chest, and finally, my stomach. The way his hand lingered there told me exactly what he was about to ask—again."Are you sure you're comfortable with this?" he asked."No. It was terrible. I never want to have another orgasm for the rest of my life," I replied

    "What's going on here?" I asked Sara suspiciously."Just go with the flow," she replied, opening my car door with a grin.I hesitated but decided to follow her advice—or at least try. After exchanging cheek kisses, I walked over to where Jason was waiting. I tucked the envelope with my test results into my pocket. As I reached him, he took my hand, and we started walking up a hill in the park."When did you ask Sara to bring me here?" I asked, curious."That's a secret," he said with a chuckle. "And since you two are such close friends now—""Close friends?" I interrupted, raising a brow. "You think we're really friends?""That's how it seems. You smile a lot when you're with her," he replied."Do I?" I considered it for a moment, warmth spreading through my chest. "Maybe we are."Jason smiled but kept silent. As we climbed one of the hills, I was taken aback by the breathtaking view of the city spread before us. But even more surprising was the blanket laid out on the ground,
