Selena The next day arrived with a mix of anticipation and nerves as we prepared to visit my father. I held Heaven's hand tightly, trying to calm my own jumbled emotions. As we approached my childhood home, memories flooded my mind, both sweet and painful. I was excited to see my father. The moment we stepped through the door, Heaven's eyes widened with excitement. Without hesitation, she let go of my hand and rushed towards my father, her little arms outstretched."Heaven, be careful," I called after her, my voice filled with a mix of worry and excitement. Heaven's small frame collided with my father's legs, and he staggered slightly, taken aback by her sudden embrace. He looked down at her with surprise and uncertainty, unsure of how to respond to this unexpected display of affection."Grandpa!" Heaven exclaimed, her voice filled with pure delight. "It's me, Heaven! You’re grandpa right? You have white beards” Heaven said, I could hear Angel chuckle next to me. Her words were fun

Selena As I sat across from my father, the familiar scent of home surrounding us, I mustered up the courage to share my thoughts with him. The words stumbled out of my mouth in a rush, my grammar stumbling along with them. Heaven and Angel were together in the living room. Apparently he knew one of our guards and they are friends. "Dad, you know, Angel... he... different now," I said, my voice hesitant. "He's... good, caring."My father's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, his eyes filled with skepticism. "Impossible, Selena," he replied, shaking his head. "People don't change so easily. You need to be careful with him."I fidgeted with my napkin, feeling the weight of my father's words. I knew he meant well, but I believed in Angel's transformation with all my heart."But, Dad," I protested softly, "he's really changed. He's been there for me and Heaven, protecting us, loving us. It's different now."My father sighed, his tone laced with concern. "Selena, I've seen it all before. Men

Selena My father wished us goodnight as the evening drew to a close, his tired eyes displaying the weight of the previous day's conversations. As the nanny took Heaven to her room to get her ready for bed, the old routine took over. When I was left alone with Angel, I felt a mix of excitement and anxiety growing inside of me. This was the second we could at last have an open discussion, liberated from the requirements of past false impressions.The soft light from the lights in the hallway led us to my room as we got there. My heart sped up with each step because I wasn't sure what to expect next. When we got inside, we sat on the edge of my bed, and there was a cloud of unspoken emotions in the air.Angel began, his voice tinged with a mixture of regret and optimism, "I never thought I'd see the day we'd be sitting here like this, Selena." I want to put things right because I've carried the weight of our disagreements for far too long.I looked closely at his face, looking for since

Today, I wanted to take charge of my new life, even if it had been forced upon me. Determination filled my veins as I slipped out of bed, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead.Quietly tiptoeing out of the bedroom, I made my way downstairs to the kitchen. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, awakening my senses. I felt a sense of purpose as I put on an apron and started preparing breakfast for my, Heaven, and Angel.

Cooking had always been a therapeutic activity for me, a way to express my creativity and nourish my loved ones.As the pancakes sizzled on the griddle, I heard the pitter-patter of little feet approaching.

Angel I woke up the next morning with a heavy feeling in my chest, still haunted by the events of the previous night. Seeing Selena's tears and feeling her discomfort had left a profound impact on me. I couldn't bear the thought of having made her feel guilty or pressured in any way. She deserved better than that.As I lay there, I contemplated how to make it up to her, how to show her that I understood and respected her boundaries. The realization hit me that actions would speak louder than words. I wanted to make her feel cherished and loved, to reassure her that I would always prioritize her comfort and happiness.With determination in my heart, I decided to start by bringing breakfast to her in bed.

I couldn't tear my gaze away from the lifeless creature lying on the sand.And then, to my surprise and confusion, Angel burst into laughter. His laughter echoed in the night, mingling with the sound of crashing waves. I looked at him incredulously, unsure of what to make of his reaction."Selena," he chuckled, struggling to compose himself. "It's just a dead fish!"Confusion washed over me, and embarrassment tinged my cheeks with a rosy hue. I had allowed my imagination to run wild, letting fear consume me over something so trivial. I felt a mixture of relief and foolishness.Angel walked over to me, his laughter subsiding as he wrapped his arms around me.

Rihana Pov“Wake up, you’ve been sleeping for a long time.”I heard Angel’s voice. Groggily, I opened my eyes, squinting against the bright morning sunlight streaming through the windows. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I sat up, trying to fully wake myself from my dream-filled slumber."Good morning, sleepyhead," Angel greeted me with a warm smile. "I thought it would be a nice surprise to have breakfast at the beach today. What do you say?"I yawned and stretched, a sense of excitement slowly creeping in. "Breakfast at the beach sounds wonderful, Angel. I'd love to join you."We quickly got ready, slipping into casual beach attire and grabbing a light jacket in case the ocean breeze picked up.

About Heaven."I nodded, sensing the depth of his emotions. "Of course, Angel. What's on your mind?"He took a deep breath, his eyes reflecting a mix of gratitude and emotion. "I just wanted to thank you, Selena. For everything you've done for Heaven. She's so happy, and it's all because of you."I reached for his hand, a reassuring gesture. "Angel, she's our daughter. I love her as much as you do."He chuckled, a hint of tears glistening in his eyes. "I know, but you've been more than a stepmother.

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
