As the day wore on, I noticed that the soft sounds of the room shifted. Lilac stirred and slowly opened her eyes, but instead of finding solace, her face crumpled with grief. She began to cry and moan for her husband, the deep, heart-wrenching sobs echoing through the stillness. It was a sound that pierced my heart, and I felt tears welling up in my own eyes as I watched her struggle with her pain.When she finally caught sight of me, her expression changed, and the floodgates opened even wider. The sight of me seemed to bring back the weight of her sorrow, and I could see the rawness of her emotions as she cried harder. Without hesitation, she welcomed me into her arms, and I wrapped my own around her, holding her tightly. In that moment, I felt the warmth of her grief, the weight of her loss, and the desperate need for comfort.I whispered soothing words, trying to be the support she so desperately needed. I could feel her trembling against me, and I knew that this was a moment wher
The following days were a blur. Ruine and I visited the airline hoping they could retrieve the remains of any of the passengers so that we could at least have something for his memorial.But it was all a lost cost since the crash happened in the ocean and nothing survived.That even broke Lilac's heart more than ever. Ivan, her husband, was actually on a trip from Russia, he even purchased alot of baby staff from there.I had to receive the package and hide it from her until she was ready because it was meant to be a surprise.She would wake up crying and go back to sleep crying.Sometimes I would even see Ruine shedding tears but I kept my distance because he wasn't mine to console.Tomorrow is the the memorial service and Lilac wants to stay at their home.I decided to stay with her since she can't be alone.I find myself nestled on the couch with Lilac in her home.The atmosphere is heavy yet comforting, and we are both cuddle up under a soft blanket.Lilac turns her head slightly
Few Months LaterYou would think Ruine and I are going to take things slow, but we didn't.Things have been going smoothly between us. We are closer to each other more than ever.These past few months have been a total bliss. The kids love Ruine to bits and I am happy Ty is okay with me dating again. He is happy that I am happy, he totally adores Ruine.They've been having their fun time together without me. He most of the time takes him into the woods for training and helping him control his wolf. Ruine's wolf, Titanium is the biggest gray wolf I have ever seen in my life.He has these stricken gray eyes I have seen in my life.He is a giant compared to Valeria, and absolutely adores her. She becomes all mushy and girly around him.So we have been spending most of our time at Ruine's home since Lilac decided to move back.Well I talked her into it, so she wouldn't be grieving too much.She hasn't cried in a while, until the moment I told her she was having twins.Lilac and I just got
Third Person P.O.VLilac, with a playful grin, nudged Ruine and Casma, saying, “You two should really think about trying for a baby! You’re both still young!” The moment hung in the air, and Casma felt a sharp pang in her heart. The lightheartedness of Lilac’s suggestion clashed painfully with her reality. She forced a smile, but inside, a wave of sadness washed over her. The thought of not having children of her own felt like a weight she couldn't shake off.Ruine noticed the shift in her expression, his playful demeanor faltering. “Lilac, maybe not right now…” he began, sensing the tension. Casma took a deep breath, trying to mask her feelings. “Yeah, maybe later,” she replied softly, her voice barely above a whisper. The joy of the moment faded as the reminder of her loss loomed large, leaving her feeling isolated in her sorrow. In that fleeting moment, the contrast between joy and pain felt almost unbearable, a reminder of the dreams she held close yet felt so far from reaching
As the unexpected visitor settles in, it becomes clear that she had a history with Ruine. Her intentions are evident; she wants to rekindle the connection they once shared. The air was charged with unspoken tension, and the atmosphere grew heavy as she began to reminisce about their past.“Ruine, remember those days we spent together? I’ve missed that,” she says, her eyes sparkling with nostalgia. "I can't wrap my head around the fact that you two had a thing after mom died. It is really creepy and why didn't you say anything dad?"Lilac asks looking between her after and aunt."It was nothing serious, Lilac, forget it"he responds and continue to eat his food.Me, I don't know how to feel, the fact that Cecily's twin is here or that she and Ruine had a thing."You practically told me you loved me and begged me not to leave. If you call that nothing serious, I don't know how you'll call this" she points between Ruine and I.Third Person's P. O.VRuine felt a mix of emotions; part of
As I sit quietly in the living room, my heart felt heavy with uncertainty. Every laugh shared between Ruine and Ciara felt like a dagger to my chest, a painful reminder of the bond they once had—a bond I could never truly break. I watch as Ciara effortlessly brings up memories of Cecily every now and then, each story pulling Ruine’s attention further away from me.This has been my life since Ciara came into this house.It is as if I were an intruder in my own home, a guest in a space that had once felt warm and inviting. The laughter that echoes around us feels foreign, like it belongs to a time before I stepped into Ruine's life. I can feel the distance growing between us, a chasm that Ciara's presence only widens.“Ruine,” I whisper, my voice barely audible, “do you think we can talk?”My heart races, hoping to reclaim a moment of intimacy amidst the chaos that Ciara has brought. But as I look into Ruine's eyes, I see a flicker of something—nostalgia, perhaps, or a longing for the
My heart pounds in my chest as I face Ruine, the weight of our shared history pressing down on me. “Ruine, please don’t do this,” I plead my voice trembling. “You can’t just throw away what we have for Ciara. I know you care about her, but we have something special too.”Ruine’s expression hardens, a mix of regret and determination in his eyes. “Casma, I never forgot about her,” he admitted, his voice low."Cecily was my everything. I think I need to give my connection with Ciara another try. She’s was there when I lost Cecily and being with is like having a part of Cecily with me, and I can’t just ignore that.”I feel my breath hitch, the words hitting me like a cold wave. “But what about us? I love you, Ruine. I’ve always loved you,” I finally confess my long overdue feelings, my heart laid bare, desperate for him to understand the depth of my feelings. “You know that, don’t you? I’ve stood by you through everything, even when it hurt.”Ruine looks away, his gaze distant as if he
Two weeks have passed, and I still haven’t left my room. The silence wraps around me like a heavy fog, suffocating and relentless. I can hardly believe how quickly my world has turned upside down.I finally made the decision to se ofnd in my resignation letter. The thought of facing Ruine again, of seeing the man who broke my heart, is something I simply cannot bear. Each time I think about it, a wave of pain washes over me, reminding me of the love that once filled my heart and how it has now been replaced with sorrow.To protect my children from the turmoil I’m experiencing,I sent them to my cousin’s place. I didn’t want them to see their mother crying, to witness the cracks forming in my spirit. I know they can sense when something is wrong, and I can’t stand the idea of them worrying about me. The house feels so empty without their laughter echoing through the halls, but I tell myself this is for the best. I need space to process this heartbreak, to find a way to heal witho
