As they left the hospital room, Ariel turned to Sophie and smiled. “Thanks for coming to visit Grandfather,” Ariel said, her voice genuine. “It means a lot to him.” Sophie smiled back, her eyes shining with gratitude. “Thanks for making me feel welcome, Ariel. I know this is weird for both of u
The Coles rushed to the hospital, their hearts racing with concern. Grandfather had requested that they all come and see him, and they knew that it must be serious. As they arrived at the hospital room, they were greeted by the sombre face of the doctor. “I’m afraid Grandfather’s condition has ta
The days that followed were a blur of activity as the family prepared for the wedding. They knew it would be a small ceremony, but they wanted to make sure it was perfect. *** Finally, the day arrived, and Caleb and Sophie exchanged their vows in a beautiful outdoor ceremony, unfortunately, grand
Sophie sat at the dinner table, her heart racing with excitement. She had just returned from the doctor’s office and couldn’t wait to share the news with her husband Caleb.

“Oh, Sophie! That’s amazing news!” Sophie shook her head, feeling a lump form in her throat. “I don’t know, Ariel. I’m just not sure how I feel about it. I’m scared, and I don’t know if I’m ready to be a mom.” Ariel nodded understandingly and reached out to take Sophie’s hand. “It’s normal t
Ariel and Chase had finally thought they were over the drama and that everything was going smoothly. They had weathered the storm and were now enjoying a period of calm. But little did they know, a new storm was brewing on the horizon. Caleb, who had been given a small share of the company, had sta
Ariel tried to intervene, but Chase pushed her away. “I can handle this,” he said, his voice cold and distant. But deep down, Chase was scared. He was scared that he was losing everything he had worked for, and he didn’t know how to stop it. And then, one night, as he was pouring over some docum
Sophia sat down on the couch, still crying, and Ariel handed her a box of tissues. Chase got up and sat down next to Sophia, putting a hand on her shoulder. “Hey, what’s going on?” he asked gently. “You can tell us.” Sophia took a deep breath and tried to calm down. “It’s just…Caleb,” she said,
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.

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
Ariel's gaze bore into Monica's, her eyes searching for any sign of deception. “I want to speak to your manager," Ariel demanded, her voice firm and authoritative. Monica's eyes widened, and she nodded hastily. "Okay, okay. I'll go get them." As Monica scurried off, Ariel's mind whirled with q
“I know, duh! That is why I need to look cute when that happens.” *** Ariel pulled into the parking lot of the spa and salon, feeling a sense of excitement and relaxation wash over her. She had been looking forward to this day all week, and was eager to indulge in some much-needed pampering. As
