"Harper, let me call you back, please," he hurriedly utters before hanging up.Confusion and disappointment flooded over me as I put the phone down, wondering about the sudden change in Josh's demeanor.

He realized what he had just done and said, "I'm sorry, Ava. I didn't mean any of that. Family pressure has been overwhelming, and I can't wrap my head around their requests. They're expecting me to do something I've told them time and time again that I'm not giving in to, and it's driving me nuts. I can't think right, and everything just consumes me," he ranted.My heart reached out to him. "Wow, Shawn, calm down. I'm so sorry I added to your stress.""What is it?" I asked."You want to know?"I nodded my head, not trusting what I would say next."I think I should come out clean because it's going to affect both of us.""Really?" I asked.He nodded, and I braced myself to hear what he had to say."A lady has been arranged for me to get married to."The shock was an understatement of what I felt. He sensed that I wasn't myself, so he held onto my hand and said, "I'm not giving up on us."His attempt to cheer me up brought a momentary calm, yet the bombshell he dropped lingered heavily

The air smelled like flowers, and a bit of excitement filled the moment, making it seem like I stepped into a dream.Walking on a path scattered with petals, I reached a gazebo draped in flowing curtains. The air was filled with soft music. A gentle breeze carried the sweet scent of blooming flowers as we wandered deeper into the garden. In the background, soft music played, creating a magical atmosphere.

Stepping into the house, I saw my dad, and my heart leaped with excitement."Dad!" I exclaimed, embracing him tightly. Expecting his usual warmth, I was met with a response that felt cold and distant. Concern etched across my face, I asked, "What's wrong, Dad?"Throughout the years, my dad had a knack for lighting even the tensest moments. However, this time, his demeanor sparked genuine worry within me, leaving me puzzled and uneasy."What's wrong, Dad?" I asked again, my concern deepening as he remained silent."How is Josh?" he finally inquired, his gaze fixed anywhere but on me.I regarded him cautiously, unsure whether to address his question or press on with my worries. "What's going on, Dad? And why jump to ask about Josh?" I questioned my anxiety. "Is everything okay? But to answer your question, Josh is fine."Just then, Ava sauntered into the living room. Her eyes zeroed in on the sizable ring adorning my finger, and she let out a scream, "Oh my goodness!""No, no, no," I th

I freshened up and dressed in comfortable clothing, not having any plans for the day. As I strolled downstairs, the delightful aroma of a mouth-watering breakfast greeted me."Something smells nice," I remarked, descending the stairs. My dad, Ava, and my mum turned towards me."Good morning, Dad," I greeted, giving him a peck on the cheek. He smiled, but I could sense it didn't reach his eyes. "Mummy, what's up?" I asked her."Nothing much," she replied, giggling like a schoolgirl. I glanced between her and Dad, choosing not to dwell on it. Instead, I playfully ruffled Ava's hair, knowing she didn't particularly like that. The atmosphere seemed a mix of warmth and unspoken tensions, leaving me navigating the morning with a blend of emotions."Stop, Harper. Not funny," Ava said, rolling her eyes.My mother finally noticed the substantial rock on my finger, and her eyes widened. "Oh, my sweet Jesus, did he propose?" she asked, almost teary-eyed."Yes, Mum!" I exclaimed happily."Oh, Har

They were both locked in a kiss.Ava and I approached them, but they seemed completely lost at the moment. I had to cough to get their attention. Amelia hastily pulled away from Axel, her face tinged with red. I shot her a look that said, "You have a lot of explaining to do.""Hi, Axel, good to see you again," I greeted. He pulled me into a friendly hug with a broad smile, seemingly unfazed by the fact that I had caught him kissing Amelia.Amelia gathered herself and finally said, "Hi, Harper. I didn't know you would get here this fast." She seemed slightly embarrassed, and this new side of Amelia left me puzzled. Ava also exchanged greetings with Axel and Amelia. I noticed Ava's knowing smile as she looked at Amelia."Ladies, it's nice to see you again, but I'd have to be on my way," Axel announced. Moving closer to Amelia, he gave her a lingering kiss on the cheek. She blushed, and we all waved him goodbye. Amelia gazed at Axel's departing figure, lost in her thoughts, and Ava and I

Shock, curiosity, and concern were visible in his expression. The warmth in his eyes dimmed momentarily, replaced by a furrowed brow as he processed the unexpected revelation. His grip on my hand tightened slightly. After a thoughtful pause, he finally spoke, his voice measured but filled with empathy."Harper, I'm sorry that you're going through such a difficult situation, and it must be hard for your dad as well," he said.A tender moment passed as he leaned across the table, his thumb brushing gently against the back of my hand. His words jolted me back from my thoughts, and I listened intently as he revealed, "You know, I investigated your dad's company when we agreed to, and I discovered some shady dealings that I can't go deep into. This concerns both families, and I'll stop at nothing to bring light to the issue at hand."His gaze bore into my eyes, and he voiced with vulnerability, "I hope that doesn't stop what we have going on because I can't afford to lose you for any reaso

I hurried to the doctor as the door opened, my heart racing with hope. “How is she?” I asked, desperate for good news.Amelia and Axel stood close behind me, their expressions tense as they awaited the doctor’s update.The doctor took a deep breath before speaking. “She is stable for now. We’ve run some tests and carried out x-rays on her brain, considering her condition and the memory loss. It seems like she’s beginning to recall bits and pieces. It’s a positive sign, but we need to be cautious. Memory recovery can be unpredictable, and it’s crucial to provide her with a supportive environment.”I nod, taking in the information. “So, there’s hope she might regain more of her memories?”“Yes,” the doctor confirms. “There’s potential for her to remember more as she recovers. The process can be slow, and we’ll monitor her progress closely.”I held my breath, waiting for more information.“The tests show no severe damage,” the doctor continued. “Her brain activity is normal, and there ar

I had intentionally cut our Atlanta trip short after overhearing Greg's plans to take Harper to a club. Harper, I trust, but I don’t trust Greg at all. He’s involved in shady dealings with women.

I open the door and find Mia standing there. I sigh in relief when I see it’s her. “Oh, you made it,” I say, still breathless.“Are you okay?” she asks as I step aside to let her in.“I’m fine, Mai. I just woke up,” I reply.“Girl, you didn’t tell me you just woke up! You look all flustered like someone was giving it to you from behind,” she teases."Oh my God," I groan, collapsing onto the bed, realizing I've got another Amelia in Mai.She gives me a skeptical look. “Harper, don’t tell me you just had a sex dream.”I sit up quickly, eyes wide. “Is it that obvious?” I ask.“Oh my goodness, Harper, don’t tell me my theory is right!” she exclaims.My cheeks burn at Mai’s words, her knowing grin only making it worse. I try to laugh it off, but the sound comes out strangled. How did she guess so easily?

“Oh, don’t worry, Axel. When we meet in Seattle, I’ll fill you in,” I say, laughing. I know he’s eager to hear what I’m talking about.“Don’t you dare, Josh? Why would you say something like that and then leave me hanging?” he responds in his tone, a mix of playful and frustrated.I laugh loudly, feeling a rare moment of relief. It’s a welcome distraction from everything I’m dealing with regarding Harper.“Okay, okay,” I say between laughs. “I know you can’t wait.”“Spill it, man. What’s the news?” Axel presses.“Trisha’s son isn’t mine,” I say, watching as he falls silent. “Say something, man,” I urge, wondering if he knows something I don’t.“That’s a relief, Josh. I’m happy for you, man,” Axel finally responds.“That’s all you’ve got?” I ask, knowing Axel usually has more to say.He gives a nervous laugh. “What do you want me to say? It’s a relief, isn’t it?”“But there’s something about that child’s appearance,” I continue. “He looks like someone I know but I can’t place it. His e
