### FLASHBACK: SEAN'S POV ### Sean woke up, completely tired, and with a pang in his head. He groaned, turned to the other side, and saw Brooklyn smiling. "Hey, Baby. Great night last night," Brooklyn remarked. 'Great night last night?' Sean asked in silence. His brows met, thinking back to wha
Sean was so overwhelmed by the truth that he only focused on the fact that something had happened between him and Reese. He did not think beyond it. Repeatedly, he asked for forgiveness. Sean wanted to talk more about the past when his father arrived at the house. It distracted Sean from his conve
"Yes, Sean. She is your daughter." Sean gasped. He threw his head back with his eyes closed, thinking how hard it must have been for Reese to raise a child since she left Rose Hills. He recalled how she had mentioned she struggled to get regular jobs, which was how she went into private practice in
Next, he saw Shauna walking out of her room in leggings and a pink top. She had a double ponytail and two pink bows on each side. Her azure-colored eyes gazed into his blue orbs, and Sean swore his heart skipped a beat. It was far different, with her fully awake and looking straight at him. She sm
The next day, Sherwin and Claudia Ross sat in the living room, waiting for their special guests, as their son, Sean, had suggested. The suspense was killing them, but eventually, they saw Reese walk in with her mother. Smiles formed on Sean's parents' faces, seeing an old friend. "Audrey," Claud
Sean's father nodded approvingly. Claudia turned to her husband with a smile and said, "I think Reese's return came at the right moment. We are surprised with a granddaughter, and Reese will be here to help Sean recover." "We thank you, Reese, for returning and giving Sean something to look forward
Brooklyn gritted her teeth, watching the video of her and Aaron, fooling around in Sean's office. She thought the incident when Sean caught them red-handed was the only time he had found out, but no, apparently, he had a recording! She angrily turned to Sean and his lawyers. Evan, Wendell, and Keit
"Fuck. Lucas is back?" Lewis indignantly turned to Lily and asked, "Do you know about this?" "Is Lucas really back, Lily?" Lily's mother also asked in shock. All her brothers, except for Liam, asked the same thing. Lily helplessly looked at Liam, and seeing her brother wasn't going to spill eithe
"The aortic stent graft collapse," Doctor Steven reported to the Wright family. "That caused him to faint. So, earlier, we inserted another stent, and he is under observation." "I feel that there is a but coming," Lily's oldest brother, Liam, predicted. Behind him, all of Lily's brothers were givin
"Mommy, are you okay? You have been staring into spaces lately," Aiden asked. Lily was helping her son with his homework. While Aiden wrote his answers in the book, Lily was in a daze. "Sorry, Buddy. Was thinking of something," Lily said. "Are you done?" "Almost. I'm so glad your mission got canc
Liam had introduced Jake to Lily as one of their new contractors. Often, Jake traveled to other cities to make proposals, hoping to get another project for the company. That was why he was in Lockwood. "Lily, my job here will be extended for another week," Jake revealed. "But I'll see you after th
"You know what, Lucas? You are insane!" Lily yelled, pulling her arm away from him. She did it so forcefully that the necklace around Lucas' neck bounced to reveal that golden tag with her name carved on it. Instantly, Lily stilled. Her heart skipped a beat while her eyes were glued to the pendant
"He is an important person who needs protection. It will be your primary responsibility to oversee his security," the major loudly said to Lily while they were on a military helicopter, flying ten thousand feet above the ground. This was one of those odd assignments. When Lily arrived at the mil
"Somebody has guilt written all over their face," Lily softly commented, seeing her oldest brother, Liam Wright, in the dining area of their home early that morning. If anyone knew about the arrival of one Lucas Thompson, her brother would be it. After all, Liam previously managed the joint business
“Lily? My favorite daughter in the world is back!” Lily’s mother, Scarlett, exclaimed. Lily could not help but roll her eyes at her mother’s remark. She responded, “Mom, you can’t have a favorite daughter. I am your only daughter!” Scarlett laughed. Lily’s father, Kaleb, who was sipping tea in th
Of course, what did she expect? He left her without saying anything. So now, he was practically denying their past relationship by pretending not to know her! The truth was, it stung a little. When he disappeared, Lily cried an ocean for him, yet this was how he treated her now? Then again, Lily s
