The night passed quickly between kisses and caresses. Peter inhaled Celeste’s scent—her rosy fragrance gave him a deep sense of peace. Holding her close and feeling the occasional movement of their children inside her filled him with a strange pang in his chest. It wasn’t pain, nor was it anguish—it
Celeste smiled at that, a rosy blush creeping onto her cheeks. Peter grinned at her reaction.A few hours later, they arrived home. Alden was waiting in the living room, visibly nervous. He hadn’t heard from his father since yesterday before he left for Galea. Peter usually didn’t do things like thi
A few minutes later, Peter and Celeste were at the hospital. First, they went to see Dr. Wagner, who explained to Peter that, indeed, as he spent more time around the people he used to know, his memories would gradually return. This was completely normal.The only cause for concern would be if he st
“I can guarantee it!”“Come on, let’s go get the ultrasound pictures. Plus, we need to see if the doctor has any more recommendations for us.”“Yeah, let’s go…”Peter felt like he was on cloud nine. In just over three months, he would be a father again—a father to two beautiful girls, two little war

Maximus was going through his tasks on the computer. Now that Peter had woken up without his memories, he, Theodore, and Alden had taken charge of Peter’s many businesses. It was incredible how his brother had built such a vast empire.Ironically, Maximus was now, in a way, working for his own broth
Marcus had tried to keep Valerie somewhat distanced from all the chaos surrounding Peter’s condition. He couldn’t deny that he was happy for his friend—relieved, even, that he had woken up. But despite that relief, Marcus had made the decision to shield Valerie from the situation as much as possible
Now, with her own daughter expecting a child, Valerie did everything she could to take care of her, to spoil her. Everything she hadn’t had when she was pregnant with Serenity, she was now making sure her daughter did have.Serenity and Alden had agreed to keep up the act—that they didn’t know their
After Ethan gave a masterclass on how to hold a baby, it was the grandparents' turn. Marcus, not wasting a second, held little Isabelle in his arms. The moment he looked at her, he knew—she was the spitting image of his daughter, the same baby girl he had met just over two years ago. "Hello, prince
After finally finishing all the paperwork and preparations for the creation of PBE Group, Maximus and Peter drove from Florentia to Valeria. Both men were determined to get there—after all, their daughter, so to speak, had just given birth, and it was essential to meet the family's first granddaught
A couple of hours after that awkward conversation, Alden, Serenity, Isabelle, and Laura were on their way home. After all the advice from the OB-GYN and the pediatrician, the new little family was finally heading back.Serenity was filled with mixed emotions. In her arms, she held her baby—yes, her
The next day, Serenity had her check-up. Little Isabelle stared intently at her mother, those big, beautiful eyes locked onto her face. Serenity couldn't stop admiring her.She was completely in love with the tiny angel in her arms. Looking at her, she couldn't help but remember how she and the man
They barely made it to the car before they were already pulling up to the place where Adrian was now living. When they arrived, Laura was surprised by the location. It wasn't bad, exactly—just not the kind of place she could ever picture Adrian choosing for himself.It made her think his financial s
"Is it far from here?" Laura asked, a bit concerned."Not really. I could actually walk, but honestly, with the crutches, it's kind of uncomfortable—and risky.""If you wait for me, I'll say goodbye to my sister and give you a ride. I'm guessing it's on the way, so...""No! No, you came to see your
"Well, Laura, things aren't that simple... but I'll figure something out. And with all this, what are you doing at the hospital? Who's taking care of Adele? Is something wrong? Is someone in your family here? Are you okay?""Wow... That's a lot of questions. But yeah, everything's fine. Emma's watch
At the hospital cafeteria, after Laura decided to stay a bit longer, she and Celeste were walking toward the room where Serenity was. As they passed by one of the consultation rooms, Laura came face to face with Adrian.She was surprised to see him. The young man was on crutches, his left foot in a
After almost four hours on the road—where Alden's driver wasn't so much driving as flying—he finally arrived. He didn't even wait for the car to park. As soon as he saw the hospital, he jumped out and ran inside.Alden was sprinting down the hallway looking for the room number, his heart pounding in
