Serenity smiled and hugged her mother. She was right—this was a special moment. It felt as if all barriers had fallen away, and now, every woman who had played a role in her life was gathered here."Oh! Before I forget, Mom, Dad… I have someone very special to introduce to you. Well, actually, a few
The afternoon was lively and long. Several dress designs were considered and discarded, and between rounds of desserts and non-alcoholic drinks, everyone was busy helping Serenity with advice, laughter, and heartfelt moments. Anyone who witnessed the gathering would have been surprised—because in th
After a pleasant conversation where Peter tried to make both Fiona and Adam feel included, he and Theodore had to step aside to discuss business matters. Meanwhile, Fiona and Adam took a walk through the gardens of the house.Once inside the study, Peter—curious as ever—couldn’t hold back."I still
"Adam told me that somehow, his mother had managed to keep a photo of me. It was blurry, but my face was unmistakable—just an older version of his own. He said he had seen me once at the university when I visited. Honestly, this kid surprises me. He’s both direct and timid, but he still took the ris
While Laura was out with the girls looking at Serenity’s wedding dress, Paul and Maurice had agreed to take care of Adele. Laura had hesitated for a moment, but since they had watched her before without any problems, this time was no different.As Laura left, Paul and Maurice decided to go to the ma
Alden had to leave unexpectedly to take care of some business, but when he returned, he struck up a conversation with Adam. Since Alden spoke the same language as him and they were only a year apart, their chats flowed naturally.Theodore took this time to do something he never would have expected o
Theodore had remained silent, listening.He had never seen things the way she did.To him, the entire situation had been something he had buried deep in his past—something he never spoke about, something he simply left behind. But being back in the Emirates, returning to Dubai, retracing his steps…
Adrian sat alone on the terrace of his house, swirling a glass of whiskey in his hand, staring into the distance.The image of that little girl—his daughter—was burned into his mind.Her golden hair, those striking green-blue-gray eyes, her fair skin, everything about her…"She’s mine. She’s my daug
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
"To hell with that stupid paternity test! To hell with what anyone says! What matters is that you are my son and I love you—here, there, anywhere. You're my son," Maximus said firmly, pulling his son into a hug."Why the hell are you telling me this? Why now? Huh? What did you think I'd say after he
