After talking with Valerie for a while, Peter went to see Celeste and their daughters. He had listened carefully to everything Valerie had told him, and he could feel some of the gaps in his memory slowly filling in. But that lingering emptiness… that, he still couldn’t shake.When he entered the ro
“Oh, Mom… My life hasn’t been easy. Like I told you, I lost half of it—half of my memories. I’ve tried talking to everyone I know, piecing together fragments, building a version of myself. But today… today, in particular, speaking with one person affected me more than I expected,” Peter said, frustr
Peter listened to his mother and knew exactly what she meant. It wasn’t that he wanted to throw everything away and go chasing after Valerie. In fact, if he was being honest with himself, he didn’t even remember who she was. But he couldn’t deny the strange feeling that had settled inside him—one he
Sebastian looked at the woman with stunning blue eyes staring at him intently and wondered: What was the trick? What was she hiding beneath all that confidence? Why did she make him feel so shy? She was a whirlwind of emotions, and he was just a bundle of nerves and insecurities.“Well, Sebastian Si
The next morning, without warning, someone was opening the apartment door. That someone was Angela—and she wasn’t alone.As they stepped into the luxurious space, Maximus immediately noticed that his son wasn’t exactly suffering the way he had imagined. Anthony Moriarty was clearly taking good care
Sebastian stepped out of the hallway alongside Angela. Maximus stood by the window, staring outside with a calm expression—though that was merely a skill he had mastered over the years. On the inside, he was a mess of nerves.His mind was flooded with memories: the day his son was born, the fleeting
Lucius let out a humorless chuckle. "Maximus, I was already living in London. We weren’t exactly together even then.""I know!" Maximus ran a hand down his face. "And I also know that the same mistakes I made with your uncle Peter… I made with you. I should have never let you go to London. But it wa
Feeling his father’s embrace, Lucius didn’t know how to react. His first instinct was to pull away, but something strange washed over him—a warmth he hadn’t felt in years.Memories flooded his mind: Maximus hugging him as a child, playing with him, fixing his tie, saying goodbye when he left for Lon
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
After watching Serenity get taken in to be checked, Lucius finally let out a breath of relief. His mind kept replaying everything that had just happened, and he still couldn't believe it.How could he? Never in his life had he imagined going through something like this. I mean, who walks around thin
Lucius was sitting next to Serenity, who, for some reason even he didn't understand, was clinging to his hand so tightly that he could practically feel her contractions himself.That morning, when he woke up, he never would've imagined he'd be living a moment like this—much less with her."Brayson!
Time had definitely changed him. Being away from everyone had done something to him. In the end, maybe it was just Serenity's hormones messing with her mood, but she reached out and touched the young man's hand."Lucius… I think what happened back then shouldn't be a reason for us not to try again.
Serenity was feeling a bit tired. After getting back from her honeymoon, everything had been a whirlwind of emotions and meetings.The week had flown by, and before she knew it, it was already Friday. Everything had gone by in a blur—coming home, unpacking, and picking up Ethan.It didn't help that
“Dad! Celeste! Family! Where is everyone? We’re back!” Alden shouted.“Damn it!” Peter cursed, who had been just about to…“Peter! Alden’s back!” Celeste said, quickly covering herself with her dress.“I know! Hell, do I know…” Peter grumbled, cursing their bad luck.“Come on, let’s go see them!” Ce
The afternoon sun bathed the gardens of the Evans house. Lucius and Amanda were lying under the oak tree in Magnus’s yard.“Lucius, have you thought about what we talked about?” Amanda asked, looking at the man lying beside her.“Mmm… no. Right now, I’m relaxing under a tree, holding a sweet and bea
Valerie looked at the urn holding her grandpa Albert’s ashes and couldn’t help feeling a heavy weight in her chest. She was overwhelmed with nostalgia.Just remembering the life she’d shared with her grandparents, and how suddenly her grandfather had passed, brought it all back.“Oh, Grandpa… So muc
