One day, as I sat on the porch, listening to the gentle whisper of the wind, memories of Leon came flooding back to me. Images of memories flashed through my mind—days of vision during our marriage that quickly turned into moments of tension. I took a deep breath, trying to push the images away.Suddenly, my phone vibrated. A text message came in from Mark, who was at work, asking if I wanted to go for a walk. I quickly answered it, trying not to show that I was feeling anxious.When we met, Mark had been cheerful and enthusiastic, trying to make me laugh. Every smile he gave me could erase a little of the darkness that was hanging over my mind. But as we walked under the moonlight, Leon’s shadow kept chasing me. It felt like there was something I couldn’t let go of, something that kept reminding me of the pain I had experienced.“Hey, are you okay?” Mark asked softly. His voice brought me back from my deep thoughts.“Yeah, jRelated chapters

Ariane’s POVAfter a long day at the shop, we sat on the porch of our house enjoying a cup of tea. “I still can’t believe this is all happening,” I say, looking up at the stars in the sky.“It’s all because of your hard work and your courage to follow your dreams. I just gave you a little push,” Mark replies, smiling.I look at him, feeling so grateful. “You are the greatest gift in my life. Without you, I would never have been able to do this.”Mark reaches for my hand and holds it tightly. “We have built something beautiful together. And this is just the beginning.”I know that with Mark by my side, nothing is impossible. We will continue to grow and pursue our dreams together, one flower at a time. One night, when Mark and I had just come home from my flower shop and were watching a movie at home, there was a loud knock on their front door. My heart skipped a beat. Mark stood up, looking at me seriously. “Wait here,” he said, befo

Ariane’s POVThe weekend arrived, and the atmosphere at home was so cheerful. I had given the good news to Zara and Zoya that Daddy Leon would take them on a trip. As I expected, the five-year-olds immediately jumped for joy, their faces shining with wide smiles that couldn't be hidden. "Mommy, where are we going with Daddy Leon?" Zara asked with sparkling eyes, while Zoya shook her head enthusiastically, as if she couldn't wait for the surprise that Daddy Leon would give. "Just wait. He will definitely take you to a fun place!" I replied, trying to hold back laughter seeing how excited they were. The next second, Zara and Zoya ran towards Daddy Leon, hugged him tightly and begged him to leave immediately. Seeing their happiness, my heart felt warm. Daddy Leon, with his gentle smile, returned their hugs and rubbed each other's heads lovingly. "Are you coming, Mommy?" Zara asked in her sweet voice. "No, honey. You and Daddy Leon,

Ariane’s POVAfter checking on Zara and Zoya, I felt a little relieved. The injuries they had suffered from the accident with Leon were not as severe as I had imagined. However, the anxiety in my heart had not completely disappeared. I knew that, besides the physical, there was something else I needed to pay attention to—their mental state."You guys get some rest!" I said softly, trying to keep their mood calm. As they went to their rooms, I prayed that tonight would be a good time for them to rest and recover.However, when night fell, I saw Zoya coming out of her room. Her expression looked confused and a little worried. With slow steps, I approached her. "Zoya, are you okay?" I asked, sensing something was wrong.She looked down, and I saw fine hairs starting to grow along her arms and back. Immediately, memories of the werewolf descendants I had heard came back to my mind. I knew this was a change she had to accept, but how was I going to explain

Ariane's POV"It’s too late. They’re not coming back, are they?" The soft voice slipped from my lips, audible. I stood in front of the mirror, touching my flat stomach with mixed feelings. I had been waiting for this moment for three years. Repeatedly I hoped, only to later drown in disappointment. However, this time was different. I could feel a small life growing inside me, two lives I knew would give me the strength I had been missing."He should know," I muttered as I smoothed my hair. I smiled a little, imagining his face when he heard this news. The excitement in his eyes, perhaps for the first time since our wedding. This was the moment I had been waiting for, a moment that would change everything.I stepped out of the room, but my steps were halted when I heard voices from directing the living room. A familiar voice, that of my husband, Leon, and another voice that made my heart sink-Isabella, my stepbrother. I couldn’t stop myself from approaching, curiosity overpowering my c

Leon's POVThe sudden knock on the door broke my train of thought. I lifted my head from the tedious pile of paperwork, hoping it was just a colleague coming in on business. However, when the door opened, and I saw who was standing in the doorway, the entire world seemed to stop spinning. Isabella, my long-lost first love, stood there with a small smile on her lips. The smile that used to always make my heart flutter. She was still as beautiful as ever, maybe even more so. Her jet-black hair was loose, her deep eyes still radiating the charm that used to captivate me. I swallowed, trying to find words, but all that came out was a name I hadn't mentioned with any emotion in a long time."Isabella?" My voice sounded hoarse, surprised, and full of doubt. How could he be here? After three years of disappearing without a trace, she just appeared, as if nothing had happened. The pain and confusion that I once experienced when she left filled my mind again.She stepped inside, closing the d

Ariane's POV"Please, Ariane, rethink your decision. Don’t do this. Don’t leave me." Leon sounded broken, full of regret and despair.I stared at her for a moment, feeling a wound that was already too deep to be healed by mere words. My hands remained busy, stuffing clothes and essentials into the suitcase I had prepared since last night. Every time I put a piece of clothing into the suitcase, it felt like releasing the weight that had been crushing my chest."Leon, I’ve thought this through. We tried, and you know it didn’t work. I can’t keep being here, in a relationship that’s broken and can’t be fixed."She stood in the doorway, looking at me with eyes full of hope and fear. It was the first time in months that I had seen her vulnerable, as if she had just realised that everything was falling apart. But tears or guilt could sway me. It’s not about her anymore. It’s about me-and the children I’m carrying."Ariane, please, we can fix this. I promise, I will change. I will be a bette

Ariane’s POV"This is what I’ve decided, Leon. Nothing can change it anymore." my voice sounded stronger than I felt. These words kept ringing in my head as I hung up the phone after talking to the lawyer. The divorce proceedings had begun, and I knew this was the right move, even though it felt hard.I sat on the small sofa in my new apartment, feeling a strange silence. There were no usual noises from home, no Leon in the morning or his footsteps at night. It’s just me, these white walls, and the sometimes excruciating silence. But I needed this. I need time and space to find myself again.My mind drifted to the missed calls from Leon that were piling up. Every call from him was a reminder of what I was dealing with-the husband who was now a stranger to me. The husband who had made me doubt everything, including the love I once thought was eternal. I can’t answer his calls. Not now. Not after everything that had happened.When he found my apartment, I knew this meeting wouldn’t be e

Ariane’s POV"How is my baby, Doc?" I asked in a weak voice, almost a whisper. I tried to get up from the hospital bed, but my body felt too weak, and my stomach was still cramped.The doctor standing beside my bed smiled. "Everything is fine, Ariane. Your baby is healthy. All you need to do now is rest and avoid stress. Your condition is quite stable, but don’t neglect getting enough rest and maintaining your mental state."I nodded, although inside I was still feeling anxious. This baby was everything to me. After years of waiting, there was life growing inside me. However, amid this happiness, there was a storm that wouldn’t go away. As the doctor left, I closed my eyes, trying to calm my turbulent mind. But the calm didn’t last long. The sound of the door opening made me turn my head, and there stood Leon, her face filled with guilt and worry. "Ariane, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have let this happen. I should have taken better care of you."I looked at him, holding back the tears t

Ariane’s POVI sighed as I tended to the plants in the backyard. The scent of wet soil and the fragrance of blooming flowers reminded me of the good old days when I worked at a flower shop. Back then, my life was full of color and hope. However, now, my life felt more complicated with the presence of Leon, my ex-husband. After Mark left for work and the kids went to school, I felt as if the world around me was quiet. I recalled how Leon suddenly appeared a few weeks ago. Even though he was Zara and Zoya's biological father, his presence made me feel anxious. I didn't want anything to ruin the happiness I had built with Mark. "Why did he have to come now?" I thought as I trimmed some dry leaves from the rose plant. "We've built a new life, and I don't want the past to haunt us." I remembered the first time I met Mark at the flower shop. They shared the same love for plants and flowers. Mark was a patient and caring person, very different from Leon wh

Ariane’s POV "Oh yeah, how about we take the kids camping?" I asked Mark.Mark replied that there was an event this weekend at a restaurant and he had to be there as the chef. I sighed softly, trying to figure out how to explain to Zara and Zoya that our camping plans would have to be postponed. The two little girls always got excited whenever they heard about outdoor adventures. They loved the idea of sleeping in a tent, listening to the sounds of nature, and having a campfire and roasting marshmallows.“Okay, I’ll tell them,” I told Mark. “But we have to reschedule soon. They’ve been waiting for this.”Mark nodded, his face showing guilt. “I’m sorry, honey. I know how much they’ve been looking forward to this. Maybe we can plan for next weekend?”“Yeah, that’s a great idea. I’ll talk to them and make sure they understand,” I replied with a smile, trying not to sound too disappointed.After I finished talking to Mark, I

Mark’s POVAcross the table, Zoya, who was a few seconds younger than Zara, chimed in, as if she didn’t want to lose attention. “We will always love each other, right, Daddy?”I nodded firmly, holding Zoya’s hand gently. “Yes, love is the most important thing. No matter what happens, we will always love each other.” Both children smiled, relieved to hear my calming words. In the corner of the table, Ariane, my wife, also smiled. She witnessed how I struggled and succeeded in rebuilding the warmth of our family since the divorce.“Daddy, how did Daddy and Mama meet?” Zara asked again, now in a lighter tone, as if the conversation had lifted a burden from her shoulders. My eyes sparkled as I remembered her past. “Oh, it’s a long story, Zara. I always met your mother at the flower shop where your mother worked. Since then, we have been inseparable.”Zoya, who loved hearing her parents’ stories, became even more interested. “Is it like in a fairy tale

Mark’s POV After a moment that was too long, I finally took a deep breath. "I will not fight you, Leon. I will choose our love over violence." Leon nodded in understanding, although there was disappointment in his eyes. "Very well, Mark. You win this time. But don't think that this fight is over. I will come back and try again." With that, Leon left us. I felt relieved that I had managed to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, but I was still afraid of the threat that continued to lurk in my family. Ambiguity. That's how I feel now. It was unclear whether our future would be safe or not. But one thing was for sure: I would do everything I could to protect my family as a husband and a father. Because love and family are everything to me, and I will fight to the death for them.Days passed, and I tried to stay positive. Every morning, I woke up early to cook breakfast for Ariane and the kids. We spent time together, playing, and laughing. But deep
