Angel I was alone in my fancy study, deeply considering various topics. They really got to me over the past few days, which were intense. Selena's devotion to Heaven was unlike any other. She was so brave and determined that she put everything at risk to ensure our girl's safety. Her presence amazed me.I was filled with memories as I sat there. I thought back to Selena's ferocious determination to fight so hard to save Heaven. She clearly cared a lot about our daughter. She would overcome any obstacle with her love, and nothing could stop her.I couldn't believe I hadn't noticed Selena's strong emotions earlier. I was too preoccupied with my own problems and obligations. She made me feel so grateful.But then I started to think about my stepbrother, Lucian. While trying to save Heaven, Selena hurt him. He got away, but I knew he wouldn't take it lightly. Lucian was well-informed and vengeful. Without a doubt, he would return for retribution.I was unable to shake this awful feeling.

Selena As the plane touched down on the Russian soil, I could feel the excitement bubbling up inside me like a pot of boiling water. My heart skipped a beat as I looked at Heaven, who was gazing out of the window with wide eyes. Next to her, was Angel, who wore a proud smile on his face as he played with Heaven’s ponytail as they spoke. We had finally arrived in Russia.Stepping out of the plane, the crisp air of Russia greeted us like an old friend. It was a chilly day, but the sun peeked through the clouds, casting a warm golden glow over the landscape. I couldn't help but shiver with both the cold and anticipation. We were about to reunite with my father, whom I hadn't seen in months.As we made our way through the airport, the sound of unfamiliar languages filled the air. The airport itself was bustling with activity, with people hurrying to and fro. I marveled at the grandeur of the architecture, with its towering ceilings and sparkling chandeliers.

Selena I woke up with a groan, stretching my limbs and blinking away the remnants of sleep. It had been a restless night, filled with dreams of dazzling smiles and intense conversations. Memories of the dinner with Angel danced in my mind, causing a fluttering sensation in my stomach. The way he had looked at me, with those mesmerizing eyes, had sent shivers down my spine. But why was he acting so nice towards me all of a sudden? I couldn't help but wonder.As I sat up in bed, my gaze wandered around the room, searching for answers in the familiar surroundings. To my surprise, there was a maid standing by the door, holding a colossal present. My eyes widened in disbelief as I took in the sight of the beautifully wrapped package. It was adorned with an abundance of roses, their vibrant colors enticing my senses."M-Miss Selena," the maid stammered, a nervous smile playing on her lips. "Mr. Angel sent this for you."My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't suppress the excitement bubbli

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.

I walked over to the window, drawing back the curtains and allowing the soft morning light to flood the room. The sight of the sun-kissed landscape outside filled me with a renewed sense of hope.After a refreshing shower, I stepped into my walk-in closet, contemplating what to wear for the journey.

Our nightly ritual of winding down often turned into moments of reflection and shared thoughts."Selena," Angel began, a soft smile playing on his lips, "can we talk for a bit? 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
