Days passed, and my headaches did not get better, but became more unbearable. Every second felt like the roar of waves crashing against a cliff, demanding attention and pain that never subsided. I knew something was wrong. However, I tried not to burden Mark, my husband, with my worries. He was already busy enough with his work, and I did not want to add to his burden.One day, while Mark was at work, I decided to go to the hospital myself. With steady steps even though my heart was shaking, I drove to the nearest hospital. After registering, I explained to the doctor about the complaints I was feeling. In a calm tone, the doctor asked me to undergo a series of examinations.After waiting for several hours, the results of the examination came out. How shocked I was when the doctor said that I had stage one brain cancer. Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, the world seemed to stop spinning.

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

Leon's POV The 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 she 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, closi

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 him 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." He 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 him vulnerable, as if he had just realised that everything was falling apart. But tears or guilt could sway me. It’s not about him 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

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

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, his 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 bac

Ariane’s POVI was in the hospital for three days and the doctor allowed me to go home. I have also completed my administrative process. Ah, I am relieved because my twin fetuses and I are fine.“Ariane.”I turned my head when my name was called by a very familiar voice.“What else? Tomorrow we will have our first trial. I hope you remain cooperative to comply with our initial agreement for us to divorce.” I didn’t need to wait for his answer. I had already decided.“Ariane, once again I have tried to meet you yesterday but honestly this is very hard for me. Can you give me a second chance?”I looked at Leon’s face. If only I didn’t know about he’s affair with Isabella yesterday, of course I would have melted with him but unfortunately I already knew everything and threw away all my hopes that I ever had. I think there is nothing to consider anymore from my marriage with Leon.“Sorry, I can’t. I have to go home now.”I left Leon. I also heard he calling me. But I no longer look back.

Ariane’s POV“Ariane, you know since you married Leon and you also decided to resign from the company so I gave everything to your stepfather. I only trust him. I know you must be disappointed. But I hope you can still survive with Leon so that you can still have a decent future.”Usually, my mother sold me to Leon. I know that my destiny is to be paired with Leon but fate says otherwise. Leon has always loved only Isabella, my step sister. If only I could do it again, of course, I would reject it when I was paired with Leon, and I could continue my mother’s company. I’m also not sure if my stepfather will give me a position in the company that he now holds entirely.“No, mom. I don’t want to beg just to ask for food. I will work somewhere else. I will not lower myself to ask for a job with your husband either.”I was disappointed with my mother. Even though my stepfather never said anything bad to me, I saw that he loved Isabella more than me. My mother also only gave in to her husba

Leon's POVWhen I found out that Isabella was back I was so happy. She was my first love and I hoped that she would also be my last love. But unfortunately, I had to be paired with Ariane. A girl I never loved. I was also just her partner because of destiny. I treated Ariane coldly hoping that she couldn't stand it and would divorce me. I was shocked when Ariane asked for a divorce. I thought my hopes had come true but it turned out that I just found out that she was pregnant with twins. I also didn't want her to leave me just like that. I reminded my descendants. I regretted treating her badly. Isabella also knew that Ariane and I were in the process of getting a divorce. "Leon, shouldn't you be happy because you will soon divorce Ariane? We can get married and announce to the world that we are a happy couple?" Isabella said. For some reason, Isabella's charm was not the same as before Ariane asked for a divorce. She was no longer beautiful in my eyes. "Sorry, Isabella, I can't."

Mark's POV I explained to my twin daughters Zara and Zoya.“There are several steps we need to do, honey,” I replied with a smile. “First, we need to prepare all the ingredients for this chocolate cake. Have you seen the recipe?”Zara nodded and opened the recipe book on the table. “We need flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and chocolate, right?” she asked excitedly.“That’s right! Besides that, we also need baking powder and a little salt. Let’s get everything from the kitchen,” I said, inviting Zara and Zoya to help.After all the ingredients were gathered on the table, Dad continued, “The second step is to melt the chocolate. We can do it using a double boiler or in the microwave. Zara, do you want to melt the chocolate?”Zara hurriedly took the chocolate bar and cut it into small pieces. “Yes, Papa! I want to!” She was very enthusiastic.Meanwhile, Zoya had arranged the other ingredients. “I will prepare the flour and sugar,”

Mark's POVI rushed home from the restaurant and carefully opened the door, I knew that Ariane was probably asleep. However, when I saw the empty dining table and the quiet living room, worry clouded my mind. My gaze was directed to the bedroom where the lights were still on. I found Ariane lying on the bed, closing her eyes with a frown on her forehead, holding back her discomfort. "Ariane, are you okay?" I called softly as I approached the bed. Ariane opened her eyes slowly. Her face was pale. She tried to smile reassuringly, but none of them were fooled. "Just still a little dizzy, Mark. Maybe because I've been too tired lately." I knew Ariane too well to believe those light words. Lately, Ariane had been visiting her flower shop less often. The small business she had pioneered with great enthusiasm seemed to be a burden as her health condition slowly declined without me realizing it. "Ariane, let's go to the hospital!" I said firmly. I

Ariane’s POVWhen we gathered in the living room, Luna Maria brought an old photo album that she found while cleaning the attic. She asked us to look at the photos when my father was young, and everyone started telling stories about past memories. Laughter was inevitable when seeing my father's strange hairstyle and how ridiculous he looked in some of the photos. At that moment, I realized how Luna Maria had managed to bridge the gap in our family. She was not only my father's partner, but also a best friend to us, his children. She listened to our complaints, gave advice when we needed it, and celebrated every achievement we made.Not only that, Luna Maria also taught us the value of togetherness and supporting each other. She had a unique way of making every activity special, whether it was by having an impromptu picnic in the backyard or cooking a new dish together.Over time, her presence made us realize how important it is to have someone we can

Ariane’s POVI felt mixed feelings. On one hand, I understood his responsibility as Alpha, but on the other, the pain he left behind was still raw. “But, Dad, we need you too. We feel abandoned.”He nodded, his face full of guilt. “I know, and I’m sorry. I want to fix everything. I want to get to know you and Putri better.”I looked at him, feeling a new hope. Maybe this was the beginning of something better. “I want that too, Dad.”That night, we talked more. My dad told me about his life as an Alpha, the challenges he faced, and how he missed us every day. I could feel the sincerity in his voice, and slowly, the walls that had been blocking me started to crumble.When the party ended, I felt lighter. Maybe, our journey to repair this relationship has just begun. I promised myself to give my dad a chance, and hoped he would do the same.As we left the Blue Moon Pack, I felt a new hope in my heart.

Ariane’s POVThis tension presented a dilemma in my heart. I wanted to see my father happy, but on the other hand I also didn't want to disturb my father's happiness. "I want to thank all of you who have come tonight," my father's voice echoed throughout the room. "Tonight is very special for me, because I want to introduce someone new into my life. This is the new Luna, Luna Maria.”Instantly, all eyes were on Luna Maria. She waved with a sincere smile, but I could see the doubt in her eyes. Maybe she felt the same tension. I felt mixed feelings. On one hand, I wanted to support my father, but on the other hand, I felt lost. My mother had married another man long before and eventually gave birth to my half-sister, Isabella. My mother also loved Isabella more than me. “I know this may feel sudden to you,” my father continued. “But Luna Maria is someone who means a lot to me. She has brought new happiness into my life, and I hope you can accept that.

Ariane's POVWe stepped inside the building, and the party atmosphere greeted us warmly. Many faces were unfamiliar, but some looked familiar. They were members of the pack who had always supported my father. I could feel their gazes, some curious, while others looked skeptical.As Mark and I walked deeper, I saw the figure I had been waiting for. My father, a strong and authoritative Alpha, stood in the middle of the crowd. My heart was beating fast. He looked older, but his aura of leadership was still the same. With steady steps, I approached him. “Ariane,” he said, his voice deep and full of emotion. “You’re finally here.”I smiled, despite the pain that was gnawing at my heart. “Dad,” I replied softly. “I’m here.”We hugged, and in that moment, I felt a warmth that had been missing for a long time. But something was still missing. I knew he had left because of my mother’s betrayal when I was young.After that emotional reunion,

Ariane's POVI closed my eyes, letting myself sink into Mark's warm embrace. That night, in the calm and warmth, I felt so grateful to have Mark beside me. And I know, in the love we have, we will always have a happy ending. The next day was the first day of elementary school. Zara and Zoya were so excited. They wore their new uniforms proudly, and their faces shone with joy. I felt so proud to see them grow into smart and brave little girls. As I walked to class, I saw a handsome man standing in front of the school entrance. His eyes radiated joy when he saw Zara and Zoya. "Mark!" I called happily. The man was my husband, Mark. He smiled widely when he saw Zara and Zoya. "They are so beautiful today," he said while hugging me tightly. We walked together to Zara and Zoya's class. I saw how warm Mark was with my twin daughters. He was always present at every school event, supporting and entertaining them. I feel so lucky to have such a loving and ca

Ariane’s POVThe day was bright and full of happiness. Zara and Zoya, the twin daughters who have filled my life with laughter and love for the past seven years, were celebrating their birthday. In the backyard, colorful balloons were waving in the wind, while the aroma of delicious birthday cake filled the air. Mark, my husband who was always loyal by my side, seemed busy preparing everything for this small party. I looked at my two daughters who were playing with their friends. Zara, with her shiny curly hair, and Zoya, who was always cheerful with her charming smile, made me feel grateful. Although I knew Mark wanted biological children, I felt quite happy with our current life. We had built a loving family, even without the presence of additional children. Leon, my ex-husband, was also present at this party. Our relationship had indeed had its ups and downs, but as time went by, we tried to fix everything for the sake of the children.
