Selena When I left Angel's office, I needed a change of scenery, something to clear my head. I was scheduled to pick up a friend of my father from the airport, so I headed there, not expecting anything out of the ordinary. However, as I approached the arrival gate, I spotted a young man waiting, and he looked strangely familiar.He approached me with a warm smile, and my heart skipped a beat. "Selena, I presume? I'm Daniel, your father's friend's son."Recognition dawned on me, and I shook his hand with a polite smile. "Yes, I remember my father mentioning your name. Welcome to our city, Daniel.

The car ride was mostly silent, with occasional glances exchanged between us, each laden with unspoken words.When we arrived at Sylvia's place, I was surprised by the warm welcome we received. Sylvia was a woman of strength, her eyes sharp and observant, but there was a kindness in her demeanor that put me at ease.

I'm truly sorry for your mother's passing. She was a remarkable woman."Daniel nodded, his expression a mix of gratitude and sorrow. "Thank you, Aunt Sylvia.

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
