Selena The beach held a special place in Angel's heart, and I knew it could be a key to unlocking more of his lost memories.

"I want to create a place that's all about babies, filled with adorable clothes and everything they might need. Can you make it happen?"Andreas chuckled on the other end of the line. "Angel, my friend, you never fail to surprise me. A baby clothing shop, huh? That's a unique twist. I'm in. How big are we talking?"I grinned, feeling the weight of the surprise building up. "I want it to be grand, something that'll make Selena's eyes light up. Let's go all out—50 million dollars worth of all things cute and cuddly. Can you handle that?"Andreas whistled appreciatively.

As I prepared for the trip to Canada, conflicting emotions churned within me.Angel, unaware of the storm brewing in my personal life, approached me with enthusiasm. "Selena, the Canada trip is just around the corner! I can't wait for you to see the surprise Andreas and I have been working on."I managed a smile, masking the turmoil beneath the surface. "I'm excited, Angel. It's been a while since I've had a getaway. And surprises from you are always intriguing."As the departure date neared, Kai's disapproval echoed in my mind.

Chase's POV:I woke up to find Heaven in the kitchen, her expression a mix of exhaustion and something else. Something I couldn't quite put my finger on."Rough night?" I asked, trying to sound casual.She shrugged. "Just the usual chaos. Nothing I can't handle."I leaned against the kitchen counter. "You know, Heaven, you don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Sometimes it's okay to let someone else share the burden."She shot me a skeptical look. "And who would that someone be? You?"I smirked. "Hey, I'm not as bad as you make me out to be. Besides, you might be surprised at how good I am at lightening the mood."She raised an eyebrow. "Lightening the mood, or causing more chaos?"I chuckled. "A bit of both, perhaps. But seriously, Heaven, you don't have to be so guarded all the time. We're in this together, right?"She sighed. "In this together, until the next betrayal or twist of fate. That's how it goes, Chase."I decided to change the subject, opting for
