After a few days of silence, Charlotte was nowhere to be seen. Leon had been patient, giving her the space he thought she needed to handle whatever was going on in her life. But as weeks turned into a month with no sign of her, he had had enough.

He grabbed his phone and called her. She picked up just as it was about to go to voicemail.

Her tired face appeared on the screen. “What’s up, little brother?” she asked, her tone lacking its usual energy.

“Charlotte Hart, where the hell are you?” Leon snapped.

“Somewhere on Earth. Why? What happened?” she replied nonchalantly, though her eyes betrayed exhaustion.

Leon’s frown deepened. “Do you know how frustrating you are? You told everyone you were painting, but this doesn’t look like your apartment, and you look like crap.”

He paused, taking a closer look. Her hair was longer, browner, and wavy which was completely different from her usual style. His brows furrowed as something else caught his attention. “Wait a minute… are you

    “Sia?”“Hmm,” he murmured in reply, feeling his finger trailing along her shoulder. The rays of the sun bathed her body as they lay near the sea. They were on one of the private beaches in the Philippines, one of the most breathtaking places she had ever seen. For the past three days, they had been travelling. The first two days were filled with adventure, but today was a much-needed lazy day for both of them.“I think you need sunscreen,” Leon said, his voice low and teasing. “Hmm,” she replied, her eyes still closed. She felt him scooping sunscreen into his hands, the cool sensation was contrasting with the heat of his palms as he began smoothing it over her body. His touch lingered as he worked the lotion into her neck while gliding down her back, tracing every curve and dip with deliberate care. Then his hands moved lower, over her hips and along her legs. Just as she thought he was done, his hands reversed course and they have begun gliding upward with an unhurried sensuality. S

    The lovebirds were truly basking in each other’s company. Leon had planned a perfect evening, starting with a romantic sunset walk along the beach as their feet were sinking into the soft sand as the waves kissed the shore. Later, they moved to a cozy candlelit dinner he had arranged just for her. The gentle glow of the candles was reflecting in her eyes as he sat in front of her. “Leon,” Sia’s soft voice broke the serenity as she called his name. “Yes?” he responded, his gaze meeting hers with warmth. “Let’s play a game,” she suggested, her lips curving into a playful smile. “Okay, which game are we playing?” Leon asked, tilting his head with interest. “Let’s play twenty questions,” Sia proposed. Leon chuckled. “Quite cliché, but fine,” he agreed. Since the moment felt too magical to let slip into silence, the game seemed like a fun way to keep the mood alive. She pouted in mock offense but pressed on, “Are you a sunrise or sunset person?” “Definitely a sunrise person,

    When they reached their room after dinner, his gaze fell on her. She was sitting on the stool in front of the mirror while trying to remove her earrings, but she was struggling. He walked closer to her and whispered, “May I?” She silently gave him permission. He gently swept her hair to one side and carefully removed her earrings. As he worked, his hands lingered on her shoulders and their eyes met in the mirror. A soft blush painted her cheeks. Her eyes, though tired, but sparkled with life. He softly made her stand while turning her to face him. Dipping his head, he kissed her lips tenderly. After a moment, he murmured, “In five years, I see myself kissing your soft lips every day.” He whispered against her lips, “You are so beautiful, Sia baby.” Then, he claimed her lips in another kiss which deeper and more consuming. As he kissed her, her entire body trembled with need for him. She wasn’t embarrassed by the way her body craved his touch, how every fiber of her being begged

    His voice dropped lower as he confessed, “Oh, Sia baby, I have dreamed of this every single day.” Leaning in, his lips found her neck, planting a trail of kisses that sent shivers cascading down her spine. Each kiss was deliberate, slow, and tantalizing as his lips explored the soft curves and bumps of her skin. He sucked and nipped gently, leaving her breathless and causing her to arch her back in excitement. His tongue darted out, tasting the warmth of her skin. The sensation was electric, making her clutch the bedsheet to steady herself. She was completely at his mercy, her body responding in ways she didn’t fully understand. Every touch was igniting a fire within her. He moved lower while his lips brushing the space between her breasts. Her hands instinctively found their way to his thick hair, tangling themselves in the silky strands as his touch consumed her entirely. He moved further down kissing his way down to her navel but stopped just right above her pussy area. H

    Sia stood mesmerized, her breath was caught as she gazed at the most enchanting place she had ever seen, the Mirror Palace. Its splendor was unlike anything she could have imagined. It was full of labyrinth of shimmering reflections endlessly around her. Everywhere she turned, mirrors of every size, grand, small, and delicately intricate were there and dancing with light. She had wandered so far in her wonder while marveling at the dazzling maze, that she forgot Leon was still behind her.She moved deeper as she felt that her steps guided by an unseen pull until she reached a grand hall. Here, towering mirrors surrounded her on all sides. It was as if she had stepped into another dimension. For a moment, she felt as if the world had vanished, leaving her alone in a universe of her own making. Then, the sound of footsteps broke the spell. They echoed through the hall and they were deliberate and unhurried. A smile graced her lips, thinking it was Leon catching up to her. But as t

    Now, sitting in the bathtub, Sia was scrubbing her hair again and again. She had been doing it so harshly for the last two hours that Leon could no longer bear to watch. He walked over to her, gently took her hands in his, and said, “Enough... Your hair is clean.”Sia whispered, “No, it’s still dirty. He touched my hair...” Although Leon’s anger burned with the thought of that bastard, he held her hands gently and brought them to his face. Then, he took some shampoo in his palm and rubbed it into her hair.“He touched here, right? He dirtied your hair,” he said softly.Sia stared at him, unable to speak.Leon continued, “Let me clean it for you. If he dirtied you, I will be the water that cleans you.”He rinsed her hair with warm water, letting the stream wash away the remnants of her distress. Using the faucet, he carefully poured water over her body. Then, he lowered the faucet, gently removed her clothes, and she silently allowed him. He poured shower gel into his hands and loving

    “How are you feeling?” Leon asked, his voice gentle as he looked at Sia.“Better,” Sia replied softly. “Sit with me.”Leon quietly settled next to her. His patience and care had been constant since the night before, his every action showed how much he wanted to shield her from any pain.Sia hesitated before speaking. “You must be wondering why I reacted so badly yesterday when I saw Matthew Kennedy.”Leon could sense her struggle to approach the subject. “If it’s too hard to talk about, we don’t have to,” he said, his tone reassuring.Sia shook her head. “Leon, if I don’t come clean, I can’t move forward with you. I need to tell you about my past, about the things that have shaped me. I need you to understand.”“Okay,” he said with a nod. “I’m here. I will listen.”Taking a deep breath, Sia said, “Ask me questions, Leon. It might be easier for me to explain if you ask.”Leon’s brows furrowed slightly as he thought, then finally asked the question that had lingered in his mind for year

    It was a beautiful day when Aurora Swift Hart was born. She had troubled her mother a lot while getting comfortable in her mother’s tummy, but when she finally arrived, she did so without causing much pain. Aurora’s daddy began crying even before she could, as she opened her tiny eyes to a world she wasn’t yet used to. She wondered who the real crybaby was—her daddy or her. “I told you it’s a baby girl,” Aurora heard her daddy say, his voice filled with emotion as he cried fat tears. Her mommy, on the other hand, just smiled at her. If she could smile, she would because her mommy was so brave, loving, and comforting. Oh no, her mommy was the best! Especially when the nurse showed her how to be her food. But that was a topic for another time. “You won, Leon!” Aurora’s mommy said to her crybaby daddy. “What name have you chosen for the baby girl?” the doctor asked with a smile, looking at Leon, who was struggling to contain his excitement. “I want to know too,” Aurora heard he

    “Our family is finally completed, ”Anne said with a big smile. She looked at her kids who were bickering as usual on the dining table. Leon and Sia were sitting on one side and Charlotte and Sebastain on another. Sia was in her eighth month of pregnancy and extremely fragile while Charlotte was wuite healthy and even though she was pregnant, she was no fragile woman! Charlotte Hart King could still take down a man or two! “Our family was always completed,”Nicholas said with a smile. “Now it is time for our kids to have family of their own. Leon and Charlotte are already starting their family with their respective spouses. Rhys has Nico. Its just Callum that I worry about.”Anne said, “Actually, I learnt one lesson in life. We cannot control the lives of our kids forever. Although we want to keep them safe from all the harms, it is still not possible. Because they are the main characters of their lives. And main characters always have their struggles. We are nothing but supporting cha

    What does forever feel like? Sia and Leon weren't quite sure. But ask them what love feels like—love that’s about trying to be there for each other, even when things are hard, and trying to love each other for as long as they’re breathing—and they’ll look at each other with tender eyes and give you a smile. It was a normal day for Leon. His girlfriend woke up and decided to flip the script. The couple sat at breakfast in their safe haven—home, the place they had built together. The meal was something Sia adored, and Leon couldn’t help but wonder if that wide smile on her face had something to do with the food—her favorite, sent over by his mother, Anne. Ever since Sia and Charlotte were pregnant, Anne had been sending meals packed with love and nutrients. It was a tradition now, one that seemed to brighten their days. Leon was sure it wasn’t just the taste of the food Sia adored, it was the love and care Anne put into it, the same kind of love and care Sia was a sucker for.

    Happiness had settled into the Hart family. The two pregnant women were treated like delicate glass, cherished and fussed over by everyone. Sia was six months along but barely looked a day over her first trimester, while Charlotte, at five months, had already popped and was unmistakably pregnant. While Sia’s pregnancy was challenging due to her health issues, Charlotte was in perfect health, glowing with happiness and vitality.Today, Sebastian brought Charlotte to her favourite food spot. She had been craving different foods all day. Sia had once joked that Charlotte was gaining more “food weight” than pregnancy weight which earned her an exaggerated glare from Charlotte.“Did you ask for an extra scoop of ice cream?” Charlotte asked, her eyes glowing with anticipation.“I sure did,” Sebastian replied with a knowing smile. “I may have even ordered a special dish you might like.”Charlotte beamed, her dimples deepened. “Aren’t you the best husband in the whole wide world?”He smirked.

    Sia watched as Charlotte and Sebastian cried and laughed together while holding each other in pure joy. Sebastian had arrived with a huge bouquet for his wife, and the moment he saw her, he dropped to his knees and hugged her stomach, whispering over and over how happy and blessed he was to have her.Seeing them celebrate their love and impending parenthood made Sia emotional. Her best friend had finally found the love she truly deserved. Not wanting to intrude on their perfect romantic moment, she quietly walked back home with a soft smile on her lips.As she stepped inside, Leon was already there, waiting for her.“Hi,” Leon greeted. “Is everything okay?”Sia nodded, her eyes still glistening with happiness. “I am very happy. So happy that I cannot even put it into words.”Leon studied her face as warmth spread through his chest. “That is very good to hear. But would you like to tell me what happened?”She wrapped her arms around him while hugging him tightly. “Charlotte and Sebasti

    Charlotte pulled something from her pocket and handed it to Sia. As Sia saw it, her eyes widened. She immediately hugged Charlotte. “You are pregnant?”Charlotte nodded, tears welling in her eyes.“Why are you crying?” Sia asked gently. “This is such happy news! Silly girl.” She paused before looking at Charlotte. “You do not want the baby? It is okay, I will not judge you.”Charlotte shook her head through her tears. “No, I do. I already love the baby. But we just got married after only a month of dating, and now a baby. He is not ready for that.”“Did he say that?” Sia asked.Charlotte shook her head. “No, but…”Sia rolled her eyes, smiling a little. “You are being silly. You both need to talk. If you do not talk to him and keep making assumptions, you will ruin your relationship. You need to talk to him.”Charlotte hesitated. “Now?”Sia nodded. “I think it is better to talk now. Otherwise, you will just end up crying more.”With a deep breath, Charlotte took her phone, put it on sp

    Another month passed in the blink of an eye.Sia was now fourteen weeks pregnant. The doctors had assured her that the baby was healthy and it was only she who remained weak. With the end of her first trimester, her nausea and mood swings had subsided. She was finally feeling a little better and getting some much-needed relief.Despite being fourteen weeks along, she still had no visible baby bump. Her stomach remained as flat as ever, and she often joked about having an "invisible baby."Leon had completed his project in Switzerland, and the two of them had grown even closer. Living there had also strengthened Sia’s bond with Bella who had been a great support during her pregnancy. Now, the couple was finally ready to return home to New York.Charlotte had also returned from her honeymoon, and she and Sebastian were settling back into their home which was conveniently located right next to Sia and Leon’s.Throughout the flight, Sia and Leon discussed how they would break the news of

    “Let’s talk,” Alisha said, her voice filled with determination. Since Sia already heard about her feelings, there was no point in hiding them. Instead, she wanted to have a woman-to-woman conversation. Sia raised an eyebrow, her tone casual. “What do we have to talk about?”Her attitude was saying that her little confession did not bother her. “About what you just heard…” Alisha tried to explain, her voice wavering slightly.Sia’s lips curled into a smile. “You like Leon. Even a puppy could tell. I just heard what I always knew. It didn’t bother me then, and it certainly doesn’t bother me now.”Did she even need Alisha’s confession to prove her claims? She was too damn smart to smell the danger from any side. Alisha frowned. “Aren’t you insecure?”Sia laughed lightly. “Insecure? About what?”“Are you pretending to be calm and collected, or is it real?” Alisha pressed.Sia arched an eyebrow. “What do you think?”This girl…she was quite amusing now, other times, quite annoying.

    The wedding had ended, and the newlyweds had set off on their month-long honeymoon. With them away, the family gradually fell back into their usual routines.Today, the Hart family had invited Carter and his daughter, Serafina, for a meal.Bella’s sharp eyes landed on a young girl talking to Callum. She immediately noticed the girl’s obvious crush on him. Callum, on the other hand, was polite but distant and his kindness was more out of courtesy than genuine interest."Is that your daughter?" Bella asked, turning to Carter.Carter smiled. "Yes, that’s my lovely Serafina."Serafina offered a soft shy greeting. “Hello.”Bella studied her for a moment before nodding approvingly. "What a gorgeous girl."At her words, both Anne and Sia turned toward her as they were intrigued by what was going on in Bella’s mind."What do you do, dear?" Bella asked.“I work in Miss Swift’s company,” Serafina answered.Bella raised an eyebrow and looked at Sia. “What is with you?”Sia just smiled knowingly.
