February 24, 2023. Chapter 1-2. Sorry to keep you waiting. The next chapter will probably be after midnight. Sean's story will continue after this.
The Wedding party was already over. While the band was still at it, playing music, everyone formed their groups and gathered at tables for the after-party chat. Lucas was at a table with Shauna, chatting with Lily on his tablet. At the far end, Mister Gray was having a serious conversation with W
When Sean returned to the ballroom, his daughter was gone. He walked up to his friends. It was Milan who said, "I thought Reese was with you. She suddenly came back and left with Shauna. She said she was tired and wanted to rest." Sean excused himself to go to the condo where his family lived. He r
Reese pursed her lips, reading the note on the bouquet sent to her at work. The flowers came from Sean, and the message read: [I can't believe you are so busy. What about my therapy too? :-( I miss you, Reese. I hope you will come with Shauna this weekend to the mansion. I'll have a guest room ready
"Where is your grandma?" Sean asked. He settled Shauna on the sofa, and after learning that Misses Kenedy was in the kitchen, he went to find her. "Good evening, Aunt Audrey. Where is Reese?" Sean asked. "Oh, she is out on a date." Misses Kenedy sighed, saying, "I figured it's just about the tim
"I can't, and I shouldn't be staying overnight at your place, Sean," Reese calmly said. "Have time with Shauna and bring her back on Sunday evening." "I want you to come with us. I miss you so much, Reese," Sean requested. "Let's talk at home." For minutes, they argued in front of Sean's car. Thei
"She was that connection that brought us closer. The times we spent together allowed me to see what a great mother you are to her and what a wife you would be when the right time comes," Sean said. "Aside from seeing how well you treat her, there was this longing in my heart to give our daughter the
"Reese?" Sean asked, holding her hand tightly. "Answer me." Reese was blinking her eyes while looking at him. She couldn't respond because his every word made her happy. Sean sought, "Did you hear me? Let me show you how I feel." Before she knew it, his lips were on hers, and his hand rested beh
"I remember when you left, Reese. Sean was so uneasy in the days that followed. He considered seeing you and Audrey, but I don't know what happened next - Oh, I remember Brooklyn got sick. She was admitted to the hospital, and Sean watched her," Claudia said before shrugging. "Remember that, Sean?"
"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
