Alone in the chilly evening, Kaitlyn clutches herself, the echo of her footsteps lost beneath silent sobs. The cold air fails to quell the heat of her tears.Unbeknownst to her, she finds herself at a children's playground and decides to sit on a swing. Laughter and merriment surround her, but she remains isolated.Recollections of a time when her mother thrived and her father was healthy flood her mind, emphasizing the stark contrast to her current reality.'It's tough growing up,' she reflects, realizing the weight of the more significant challenges she faces compared to her carefree childhood.If only she had foreseen that her love for a man who couldn't appreciate her true self would lead to misery, she might have pursued her passion for painting beautiful scenes.Harshly wiping away her tears, a blend of self-pity and frustration takes hold. She resents her own heart, feeling vulnerable and lost without a clear path.These thoughts unleash another wave of tears, her sobs echoing
Muffled voices resonated through the hospital, blending with the noises of a wheeled bed gliding against the tiled floor. Kaitlyn, now in the emergency room, lay unconscious as nurses and doctors urgently collaborated to sustain her fragile hold on life.Amidst the controlled chaos, Dean, finally arriving at the hospital, stirred a commotion when denied entry to see his wife. Dr. Fiona Salvatore, the head doctor and Kaitlyn's friend, emerged from her office after being summoned. Shock gripped her as she witnessed Dean, his clothes stained with blood."What... happened?" she inquired, facing Dean with a wet face of tears."Fiona, please... Please save my wife... Save Kaitlyn..." Dean begged, holding onto the doctor's hand. Reacting to Kaitlyn's name, Fiona rushed into the emergency room, discovering a bloodied and battered Kaitlyn under the care of the medical staff. Suppressing her emotions, Fiona checked Kaitlyn's wrist for a faint pulse, determined to distinguish between Kaitlyn's a
Dean, who returned to his hotel room, sighed and took off his shirt. He laid on his bed, staring at the ceiling. Kaitlyn's words about wanting to die just wouldn't leave his mind. He knew she was devastated about losing their baby, but they could always try again.He thought it was his child too, and she should know he was devastated at losing their baby as well. But maybe it would be too selfish of him to tell her that.He sat up, got off the bed to have a bath when his phone rang. He immediately answered, thinking it was from the hospital, only to find out it was Cattalina, the model he took with him for the collaborative photography project."Good morning, Mr. Castellan. It's Cattalina Denver. Would you be able to meet with me and the Rileyville staff for the photoshoot today?" Cattalina asked politely on the other line.Dean sighed and rubbed his temples, "I'm sorry, Miss Denver. You already know what happened to my wife. She finally just woke up today, and I don't want to leave h
"I missed you..." The words Kaitlyn could only utter, smiling with courage. She was filled with guilt and sorrow, still mourning after having a miscarriage.Kyle grimaced at the thought of Kaitlyn smiling, still thinking about him after losing her child. His hand trembled with anger and sorrow as he gazed down at Kaitlyn, who was all battered up, leaning back on her hospital bed."Kyle...? Do you... not miss me?" Her question almost choked her; she felt like losing her breath, but she did not bother to show it.He stood there still, quiet, just staring at her."How could you be so stubborn, Kaitlyn?" He started speaking, disappointedly wiping his tears, grieving for her lost child. "I told you not to leave me. I told you to run away with me. But no. You did not listen. Now look at you. You're a mess. You left me brokenhearted, and now you lost your child. How stupid can you still be?" His anger overwhelmed him."Kyle, you don't understand... I—" She immediately got cut off when he yel
Kaitlyn and Dean successfully acquired all the necessary items they could carry. Upon returning home, Dean was met by his personal assistant, Trina, who held stacks of files."Good day, Mr. Castellan. Sorry to intrude. Maria let me in for some updates," she introduced.Dean, coming to a stop, exchanged glances with Kaitlyn, both surprised by Trina's sudden presence. Catching his stare, Kaitlyn looked back at him, still holding onto some of their purchases."Don't give me that look, Mr. Castellan. Handling this is your job," she shrugged and headed upstairs, Maria following with the remaining items.Dean sighed, scratching the back of his head, and settled onto the sofa.Dean gestured towards a plush chair. "Trina, please have a seat. What brings you here today?"Trina gracefully lowered herself into the chair, her poised demeanor reflecting professionalism. "I wanted to brief you on some recent company updates." She held a stack of files, each one likely containing a piece of crucial
I awoke to the warmth of a beautiful sunny morning, accompanied by the melodious giggles and laughter of a little girl that gently stirred my consciousness. As I opened my eyes, I found her standing by my bedside, her curly blonde hair and adorable uneven front teeth adding to her innocent charm. A delighted smile lit up her face as she cupped my cheeks."Mommy! Mommy! I saw a beautiful butterfly! I wanna follow it!" she exclaimed, joyfully bouncing on my bed.The curtains danced gently in the breeze that wafted through the open window. As I gazed at the familiar figure before me, a mix of happiness and an unexplainable urge to cry overwhelmed me."Mommy?" the little girl called out with a gentle, concerned tone, tilting her head curiously."Why are you crying?" she added, her eyes reflecting worry.It suddenly dawned on me; this was a dream, a poignant and beautiful one. What message were you trying to convey, my little one?"A... Are you my baby?" I asked, my hands trembling as I to
The hospital became uncomfortably quiet. The streets that were buzzing with cars and different types of people now felt like a desert. Kyle, sitting beside his sister's hospital bed, felt a cold wind pass through him as he shivered.A sudden thought of guilt reached him as realization dawned on him. He was too harsh on Kaitlyn. He said too much and hurt her. He suddenly stood up and was about to leave the room when his sister woke up."Where are you going?" She asked, still a bit weak after recovering from the successful operation."I have to go visit someone," Kyle informed his sister Aya."Oh," she uttered, looking away and then back at him."Nii-chan, I had the strangest dream," she blurted out of nowhere."Oh yeah?" Kyle smiled and sat beside his sister."Yeah. Did you know that I died when you went to visit your friend earlier?" She asked, stunning Kyle with her declaration."What? How did you know I visited a friend?" Kyle asked, confused, knowing that Aya was still too weak to
