Ariel’s father and stepmother, Whitney, arrived soon after, their faces etched with worry. Sophia filled them in on the situation, and they exchanged concerned glances. “Ariel, sweetie, please open the door,” her father coaxed, his voice gentle. Ariel finally stirred, her movements slow and deli
ARIEL I woke up early, feeling a mix of emotions as I got my kids ready for the big day. Moon was bouncing with excitement, her pink tutu dress making her look like a tiny ballerina. Star, on the other hand, was his usual curious self, asking me questions about where we were going. I just smiled an
The room erupted into chaos again, people shouting and arguing all around us. But I stood tall, my eyes fixed on Chase, my heart pounding with determination. This was it – the moment of truth. Would Chase finally take responsibility for his actions, or would he continue to run from the truth? Only
The room was tense with anticipation as Ariel sat down, her children by her side. Lisa, Grandpa, and Caleb were all present, their eyes fixed on her with a mix of curiosity and accusation. Star, ever the curious one, was asking questions and exploring his surroundings, playing with his half-brother
"No, I can't. I can't fix it. I missed out on so much. I missed out on my children's lives. I missed out on Ariel's love." He looked up at Jordan, his eyes red and puffy. "I love her, Jordan. I really do. And I wish she could forgive me." Jordan sighed, his expression softening. “Chase, you ne
Monica woke up before dawn, her mind racing with thoughts of the previous day’s events. She had barely slept, her anger and hurt lingering like an open wound. She reached for her phone, trying Chase’s number again, but it was still off. She felt a pang of frustration and betrayal, wondering why he h
Monica smiled again, her eyes locked on his. “Let’s just say that Austin’s paternity is not what you think it is. And I have proof.” Caleb raised an eyebrow. “Proof?” Monica nodded, her heart racing with excitement. “Yes, proof. And I’ll show it to you, if you promise to keep an open mind.”
Monica stormed into the Coles mansion, her anger and hurt evident on her face. She had just been left at the altar by Chase, and she demanded answers. “How could you do this to me, Chase? How could you just leave me like that?” Chase, who had also just returned home, stood his ground, his express
Her father sighed and rubbed his temples. “It’s a long story, Monica,” he said. “But I’ll tell you everything. Just please, listen to me and try to understand.” Monica nodded, still feeling dazed and confused. But she was determined to get to the truth and understand what was happening. “Okay,”
Monica’s eyes fluttered open, and she was met with an unfamiliar ceiling. She was disoriented, and for a moment, she thought she was having a bad dream. But as she sat up and looked around, she realised that she was in a room she had never seen before. Panic set in, and she jumped out of bed, her he
But it was quickly suppressed, replaced by a sense of calculation and cunning. He knew exactly what he was doing, and he was willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goals. “I’m already proud of you,” he said, his voice low and smooth. “You’re going to do great things, Rachel. I just know it.”
As they drove home from the water theme park, Chase was awfully quiet, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. Ariel noticed the silence and couldn't help but wonder what was wrong. She glanced over at Chase, trying to read his expression, but his face was a mask of calmness. Ariel's mind wandered back t
Chase raised an eyebrow, his expression sceptical. “What makes you think I care about any of this?” he asked, his voice cold. Monica took a step forward, her eyes locked onto Chase’s. “Because I know you, Chase,” she said. “I know you’re a good person, and I know you deserve to be happy.” Chas
As the sun began to set, casting a warm orange glow over the water theme park, Chase and Ariel started to pack up the remains of their picnic. The kids, still buzzing with excitement from their birthday celebration, gathered around, chattering and laughing as they helped their parents gather their b
As Rachel walked into the house, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. She had just come from a meeting with Chase and Caleb, and she was confident that she had made a great impression. She was smiling from ear to ear, eager to share the details of her day with the man who
Chase stood outside the conference room, adjusting his tie and taking a deep breath. He and his brother, Caleb, were about to meet with a representative from a potential investor, and Chase wanted to make a good impression. Caleb, who was standing beside him, clapped him on the back. “You’ve got
Chase stepped out of the hospital room, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. He had been by Ariel’s side for the past hour, watching as she struggled through the contractions. He knew she needed him, but he also knew she needed to stay hydrated. He decided to slip out and grab some iced water fr
