The One He Let Go At the balcony
KellyThe soft morning breeze wrapped me as I stood on the balcony, staring out at the hills of Tuscany. The view was breathtaking, the kind that could heal wounds and soothe worries. You needed to see the view, it was beautiful—extremly. But this morning, it wasn’t working. My thoughts were far from it.Francesca.I hadn’t met her yet, but the mere idea of her had taken a place in my head. A part of me, the irrational part, couldn’t help but wonder if she was the reason Adrian kept me at arm length. He spoke of her fondly, the kind of warmth I hadn’t heard from him before. Was she someone he had loved? Was she someone he still loved?I shook my head, frustrated at myself. You have no right to feel this way, I reminded myself. Adrian and I weren’t anything more than two people navigating a complicated contract. And yet, the thought of him being close to someone else, someone who might have seen sides of him I hadn’t... it stung.I leaned against the railing, the sun warming my skin as

AdrainThe morning sunlight filtered through the curtains as I sat on the edge of the bed, phone pressed against my ear. Francesca’s voice echoed through the cellphone, vibrant and full of life as always.“So, you’re actually coming to see me,” she teased, her accent thick and unmistakable. “I was beginning to think you forgot all about me, Adrian.”I chuckled, though my heart wasn’t fully in it. “You know I could never forget you, Francesca. It’s just been... complicated.”“Complicated?” she repeated with a sharp laugh. “Adrian, your entire life is complicated. That’s your brand.”Her teasing tone was comforting in a way, pulling me back into memories of old times. “You’ve got a point there,” I admitted. “Anyway, I wanted to confirm that we’ll be at the restaurant later today. Kelly and I are looking forward to seeing you.”There was a pause on her end, long enough to make me glance at the screen to check if the call had dropped.“Kelly?” she asked, the name rolling off her tongue

KateAva was every bit as clueless as I’d expected her to be. Or maybe she was pretending. Sitting across from her at the coffee shop, I could tell she had no idea what game I was playing at. Her answers were simple, her stories about Kelly were things I already knew. Yet, there were some piece of information buried beneath her amused chatter, small details that didn’t fit into the Kelly I thought I knew.“You’re sure Kelly never mentioned me?” I pressed, stirring my cappuccino absently.Ava blinked, her brow furrowing. “Not really. I mean, she’s private, you know? But she always said she had a complicated family. Why do you ask?”I smiled thinly. “Just curious. Family is... important to me.”It wasn’t a lie, but it wasn’t the truth either. Ava didn’t need to know the depth of my curiosity or the reasons behind it. She was just another stepping stone.By the time we parted ways, I’d learned little things about Kelly, but it wasn't enough, it didn’t matter. This was only the beginnin
Last Updated : 2025-01-15The One He Let Go He’s my husband
KellyI kept walking, quickening my step just enough to put a little distance between Adrian and I. I didn’t want him to notice the anger in my chest, the knot that had grown with every thought of Francesca. It had nothing to do with Adrian, really, I knew that. But there was something about her that made my jealousy burn harder, like a fire that wouldn’t go stop, no matter how much I tried to ignore it.Adrian was talking to me, but I couldn’t focus on what he was saying. He asked if I was fine, his voice low and steady, but I brushed him off. Ofcourse, I'm fine.I kept my voice flat as I pushed my way through the crowd. I wasn’t fine. But I didn’t want to show him that. I wasn’t ready for him to see how hard this was on me.Still, I could feel him right behind me, close enough to catch every breath I took. His presence was comforting, but it also reminded me of everything I was trying to bury. And then, in the middle of my thoughts, I slowed down, forcing a softer tone when I fin

EvelynI couldn’t breathe. The words cut through the air, sharp as glass. Kelly was already married. How was that even possible? And to him. That man.The man I had never seen, the one who had somehow slipped under my monitoring. Of course, I had known about her daughter, there was no doubt about that. Anderson’s daughter, the little girl Kelly had kept hidden from everyone for so long. But Kelly... she had always been such a mystery, even when she was married to Anderson.She showed up, married and flaunting that particular Birkin bag as if she was some queen. The one bag I had been wanting for months, the one that had been sold out everywhere. It was limited edition, exclusive, and yet here she was wearing it. My fingers twitched at the thought of it. She was wearing it, and I wanted it badly.But I couldn’t let her see the anger in my face. Instead, I walked away too, not sparing her a single glance. My breath came in ragged bursts as I processed the amount of emotions she had jus

KateI couldn’t believe my eyes. Kelly had children for Anderson and I couldn’t even give him one. Two precious children, his blood running through their veins, and they were already taking the place I had fought so hard to secure. Fear gripped me as the thought crossed my mind: One day, if things went wrong, Kelly’s children could inherit everything, Anderson’s wealth, his empire, everything I had hoped for. What would I be left with? Nothing. I had failed him. I had failed to give him what he wanted most.My stomach churned with jealousy, a bitter taste I couldn’t shake. I had tried, tried so hard to give Anderson a child, to fulfill the dream we once shared. I even went through painful procedures, hoping, praying, but nothing ever came of it. And then Kelly….Kelly, who seemed to have it all gave him two beautiful children. I couldn’t let this go. I couldn’t let her children become the heirs to his fortune while my own attempts had been in vain. No. That wasn’t going to happen.I s
Last Updated : 2025-01-17The One He Let Go I need to breath
KellyWhen we got back to the hotel, the space felt heavy and suffocated. The kind of tension that clings to your skin and makes every breath harder to take. I couldn’t shake the feeling of something off in the air, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Maybe it was the conversation earlier. I’d had said Adrian was my husband, blatantly telling everyone when we’d both agreed that our marriage should stay under wraps. Why did I say that? I thought to myself. What was wrong with me? Adrian and I had made it clear, secret or not, that’s how it had to stay. But what choice did I have?There had been no way around it. Not with Evelyn and Kate showing up out of nowhere, their presence amplifying the already uncomfortable atmosphere. It made everything worse. The mess was getting messier, and I was at the center of it, holding a tangled thread I didn’t know how to unravel.I paced around my room. My thumb traced the edge of my phone, the screen still lighting up with unanswered texts. Harper h
Last Updated : 2025-01-17The One He Let Go Who was that last night?
AdrianI watched Kelly from a distance as she sat by the shore, her laughter rising above the gentle crash of the waves. It was the kind of laugh I hadn’t heard from her in a long time, genuine, carefree, and full of life. I could feel my chest tighten, the sight of her so open and unguarded made something dark stir within me. She looked so... happy. I hadn’t seen her genuinely laugh like that in months, maybe longer. I wondered who she was with, who had made her laugh like that, and if they were close.I had to admit, the man beside her had an easy familiarity, like they’d known each other for years. I didn’t like it. A part of me felt irrationally jealous. But why? He was just a guy, just someone she might’ve met during her time here. But something about the way she laughed, something about how she didn’t seem to have a care in the world, unsettled me.I wasn’t sure why it bothered me so much. Maybe because I never thought of Kelly as someone who had close friends, at least, not the

The One He Let Go What the hell
Anderson I couldn’t let her do this. The moment Kelly hung up, I was already on the move. The little call time with her was enough to track her location. My heart raced as I drove toward the dockyard, gripping the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned red. She thought she had to face Davis alone, but she was wrong. This wasn’t just about Aiden anymore. It was about her, too. She was the best thing I’d ever had, and I’d let her slip away because of my cowardice and blind loyalty to the wrong people. I’d let them poison everything good in my life, including my marriage. Not this time. When I arrived, I parked my car far enough to avoid being seen. The dockyard was eerily quiet, the kind of silence that made every sound feel amplified. My eyes scanned the area until I spotted them…..Kelly and Davis, standing near the entrance of an old warehouse. I crept closer, careful to stay in the shadows. “Promise me that my son will be safe and I will come with you,” Kelly was s
The One He Let Go Sacrifices made
Kelly I stared at the message, my fingers trembling. The words blurred together as my mind raced, imagining every horrible scenario Aiden could be enduring. I could almost hear his small voice calling for me. ‘Meet me alone. Tonight. If you want your son to live’ A message popped up as I wiped my tears that was already streaming. Every inch of me screamed to act, but the fear of making the wrong decision paralyzed me. Aiden was counting on me. This was my chance to bring him home, and I couldn’t fail him. “Kelly, no,” Adrian’s voice broke through my thoughts. He had read the message over my shoulder, his face pale. “You can’t go alone. It’s too dangerous.” I stepped back, away from him. “This isn’t your decision to make, Adrian. I’m his mother. I’ll do whatever it takes.” “You don’t have to do it alone,” Anderson interjected, his tone firmer than I’d heard in years. “We can handle this together. Let me come with you.” I turned to him, my anger flaring. “Together? Like w
The One He Let Go The trap
Anderson Kelly was pacing every inch of the room, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. Her determination burned through the chaos like wildfire, her focus entirely on Aiden. Even now, with everything crumbling around us, she was still the same woman I’d fallen in love with—tenacious, selfless, and extremely beautiful. And I had destroyed her. I sat on the edge of a worn leather chair, my hands clasped in front of me as guilt and regret consumed me. Evelyn, my mother had betrayed me. Kate, the woman I thought I could trust, had used me. But Kelly… she had never betrayed me. The realization hit me like a blow to the chest. Kelly had been the best thing that ever happened to me, and I’d thrown it all away. I chose loyalty to my mother, blind faith in Kate, and a web of lies over the one person who had stood by me. I’d failed her as a husband, as a protector, and now as a father. I swallowed hard, my voice barely audible. “Kelly…” She stopped pacing and turned to me, her
The One He Let Go Mafia?
KellyI followed Adrian through the dark streets, my heart pounding with a mix of anger and dread. His earlier phone call had been short, but the urgency in his tone was unmistakable. He thought I was asleep, but I wasn’t about to sit back while Aiden’s life was in danger. He turned towards an alley and disappeared through an unmarked door. I hesitated for a moment, swallowing my fear, before slipping inside after him. The air was heavy with the scent of damp concrete and stale cigarettes, and muffled voices echoed from somewhere below. Keeping to the shadows, I crept down a narrow staircase, my steps careful. Adrian’s voice filtered through the air, sharp and desperate. “Give me more time,” he pleaded. “I’ll resign after this is done, I swear. But I need to get my son back first.” A deep, gravelly voice responded, dripping with condescension. “Time? You think Boss is the kind of man who waits? You’re either in, or you’re out. And if you’re out, you’re as good as dead.” I f
The One He Let Go You disgust me
AndersonI followed my mom into the dimly lit restaurant, staying far enough behind to avoid suspicion. The private dining room she entered was shielded by frosted glass, but I could see her silhouette as she sat across from a man I recognized immediately: Davis. The man who had turned my life into chaos. There was no doubt Davis took Aiden. I clenched my fists, my pulse racing as I debated my next move. Every instinct screamed at me to storm in, to demand answers, but I couldn’t risk tipping myself off. Not without knowing what my mom had to do with all Aiden disappearance.I slipped into a booth near the back, my line of sight angled to catch glimpses of their conversation through the glass. My mom leaned forward, her voice just loud enough to carry over the low murmur of the restaurant. “You shouldn’t have taken the boy,” she said, her tone sharp and accusatory. Davis shrugged, his lips curling into a smirk. “You made this mess, Evelyn. I’m just cleaning it up.” She slamme
The One He Let Go Fractured bond
Kelly “Who is he?” I asked, my voice cracked as I stared at the grainy image Olivia had handed me. Her expression was cold and unyielding, her lips twisting. “I don’t know, but I think he’s the key to finding Aiden.” The photograph trembled in my hands, my vision blurring as fear tightened its grip on my chest. Aiden’s face, pale and tear-streaked, was in the background of the photo, and the man standing in front of him was a stranger. A tall figure, his face partially scarred, but the malice in his posture was unmistakable. “Where do we find him?” My voice barely audible. Olivia glanced at me, then to Lucian, who stood a few steps away, watching us intently. “I don’t know yet,” she admitted, but her tone carried the weight of determination. “Kelly,” Lucian said, stepping closer. His voice was calm, but his eyes were firm. “We’re going to get him back.” I wanted to believe him, to hold on to the small hope his words offered. But the heart wrenching guilt in my chest wou
The One He Let Go You’ve got to be kidding me
KellyThe call from Anderson had shattered the little thread I was holding onto. Aiden, my sweet, innocent Aiden, was missing. Panic clawed at my chest as I paced around the house, unsure of what to do. Adrian was making calls, organizing a search, but I couldn’t stand still. I needed to act. “Kelly, stop,” Adrian said, his hand on my palm. “We’re doing everything we can. Just stay here.” I shook him off, unable to contain my panic. “You don’t understand. I can’t just sit here! What if something’s happened to him? What if—”“Kelly, I know. I’m scared too,” Adrian said, his voice strained. “But we can’t make any rash decisions. We need to think this through.” I looked at him, eyes wild with fear, and then I bolted for the door. I didn’t care what Adrian thought; I had to find Aiden. I needed help. .The police station was busy when I arrived. Officers were running in and out, but none of them seemed to take much notice of the frantic woman pacing back and forth in front of the
The One He Let Go Aiden is missing
KellyThe tension in the house was suffocating. Adrian had been distant ever since Olivia’s arrival, and I couldn’t take it anymore. Every word Olivia said seemed to carry a hidden meaning, like she wanted me to know something but she wouldn’t just say it.I found him in the kitchen, leaning against the counter with his phone in hand. He looked up as I walked in, his face guarded. “Adrian,” I said, crossing my arms. “We need to talk. Now.” He sighed, setting his phone down. “I figured this was coming.” I stepped closer, my voice low but firm. “Why does Olivia seem to know more about your past than I do? What is this connection to Davis that she keeps hinting at?” Adrian stiffened, his jaw tightening. “Kelly, it’s... complicated.” “No,” I snapped, cutting him off. “It’s not complicated. It’s your family. It’s your life. And it’s my life too, Adrian. I deserve to know what’s going on.” He ran a hand through his hair, exhaling heavily. “You’re right. You do. But it’s not some
The One He Let Go Love at first sight
OliviaThe weight of everything pressed heavily on my chest as I walked into the police station. Every step felt like a declaration of defiance. I had promised myself I would get answers, no matter the cost, and now I was here, ready to put my cards on the table. The station was bustling with phones ringing, voices raised, officers moving purposefully from desk to desk. My resolve nearly faltered, but then I saw him. He stood near the far end of the room, his uniform tailored to perfection, radiating a calm demeanor. His presence demanded attention, though he wasn’t speaking. I caught myself staring. It was as though everything else faded, leaving only him in focus. Hid name wasn’t spoken until one of his colleagues called out, “Lucian, got a second?” The sound jolted me from my thoughts, but not enough to ignore the way my heart fluttered. “Excuse me,” I said, approaching cautiously. His sharp blue eyes moved to me, and I felt as if he could see right through me. “Yes?” he
