Present

Spreading light for illumination, the crowd would soon be captivated by the ultimate atmosphere of Christmas cheer in a room. The tantalizing aroma of turkey roasting and cookies baking from the kitchen could turn anyone's stomach into a growl.

Valarie, along with some others, made unending efforts to create a winter wonderland inside the house. Ornaments hung jollily on the Christmas tree while stockings and garlands graced the mantelpiece. It was beautifully spread across the dining table with fine china, crystal glasses, and lay expectant for guests' arrival.

But when the clock hastens towards dinner time, the guests never arrived. Outside, the snow fell heavier and heavier, and the roads became more dangerous as each moment passed.

Right when they were getting worried, Jasper suddenly remembered something. "Oh no, I've forgotten to buy wine!" he exclaimed with a slap on his forehead. "I need to go before the snowfall gets any worse."

    PastArthur stepped into the room with wide eyes. Dominic was sitting next to Valarie, spoon-feeding her soup. Valarie's eyes danced with delight on her face, which radiated a warm glow. Arthur lowered his gaze at her belly and realized she was four months into pregnancy.There was so much love in the air. Whenever Dominic gazed at Valarie, his eyes glistened with adoration. His every action spoke that he was ensuring Valarie's comfort and that she was free of stress.And suddenly Arthur was noticed, with Dominic's gaze turning sharp. "Why do you persist here, Arthur?" he demanded in a blunt tone, yet controlled.Arthur's face took on a serious tone. "I know who's been sending our information to Victor," he said in a low, even voice.Dominic's face contorted to a scowl, and his eyes darkened. But when he glanced sideways at Valarie, he saw that she was tensing up, her eyes round and whites flaring. Immediate reflex to right a smile across his facial lines—to make it look reassuring.H

At last, he found Jasper's place, and his heart pumped with exhilaration.As he neared the house, the gears in Arthur's mind whirred through what he'd learned about Jasper—a retired army doctor who moved to this small town after his military career.Arthur knocked on the door, and it creaked open to reveal an older woman with graying hair and a kind face.

    PastVictor listened to Viviana on the phone, her voice dripping malice as she said everything about Dominic's hideout. It was a perfect plan that was exactly laid down, and Victor was satisfied.He felt very proud of himself because there was a brilliant way in which he managed to impose Viviana into Dominic's team. It had in fact been a risk that had brought its reward now that he, Victor, was in the position to strike right where he wanted.At the termination of the call to Viviana, the gaze of Victor fell on the door to his father's study. "Adriano Morano, the patriarch of the Morano family, was a man with whom one did business," he thought. Victor's father was a ruthless and cunning businessman, and Victor learned everything he knew from him.Victor headed to the study, purposefully in every step, his footsteps echoing through the hallway. He pushed open the door, stepping inside, eyes adjusting to the dim lighting.Adriano Morano looked up from behind his desk, his eyes narrowin

Jasper was out for too long, and now she is beginning to worry.She had looked at her watch for what felt like the hundredth time. Each tick of the minute, she felt more and more anxious.

Would they be able to fix the car?Valarie couldn't sit still any longer and pushed the doors open and stepped into the frosty air outside. The snow crunched as she walked about, hoping she might catch a glimpse of Jasper or the mechanic. But it was an empty road before her—just a great white expanse.Valarie did not change from worry to fear when she thought of Jasper being alone and vulnerable in the storm. She could not just sit and do nothing. She had to go look for h

    PresentValarie's feet pummeled the snowy surface, her legs propelling her as furiously as they could to escape Arthur's pursuit. She did not dare look back, fearing what she would see, but concentrated instead on the path before her, hazed from view by the heavy snowfall.The flakes swirled about her like a heavy veil, rendering visibility nearly zero. Valarie tripped and caught her foot on a concealed rock, but she managed to regain her balance and keep going.Arthur's voice floated through the air thick with snow, getting louder and more insistent. "Valarie! Valarie, stop! Wait!" But Valarie didn't stop. She couldn't stop. She had to keep running, no matter how exhausted she was.The snowfall grew heavier, with clumps falling in thick, heavy flakes, making it nearly impossible to breathe. Valarie's lungs burned, her chest heaving at the exertion. Again she staggered, her legs trembling beneath her.But still she ran; at last, Valarie's legs gave out, and she fell to the ground. Arth

    "I regret, Valarie. I really wanted to help you, and you cannot imagine how I have suffered too since I kept allowing you to suffer," he said with regret laden in his tone."Exactly, you did nothing. And you can't do anything for me, Arthur, until you and I are stuck in this dark world." Her voice dropped to a whisper, and she said, "The one I knew, who was my best friend, my savior, my first love... was Alastair. But you are Arthur."Arthur's eyes travelled over Valarie's face, and he knew that she knew. The world knew him as Arthur, but to Valarie, he would always be Alastair.Arthur's face betrayed nothing, but his eyes gave it all away. He imagined David meeting Valarie. He thought he met Valarie for the first time in his life, not knowing that Valarie, in any world, would already understand him and know what, precisely, he was feeling."Valarie..." He took a step closer, his voice low and husky.Arthur's hands cradled Valarie's face, and his thumbs traced the polities of her cheek

    The driveway was pulled into by Jasper and Valarie. The light pouring from the windows into the little house was warm and inviting. There was Elara, with a string of old friends of Jasper's, awaiting his arrival with worried faces. Elara's expression bore the signs of an extra-heavy tension, and Jasper sensed that something was wrong."What's wrong, Elara?" he asked with his brow heavy enough to carry the burden of worry.Elara hesitated for some time before she finally let out that low, serious voice of hers: "A man came looking for you, Jasper. He tried to get in, but luckily Josh and Kavin showed up just in the nick of time, and he walked away."Valarie narrowed her eyes. My mind raced through the possible thoughts of who this mysterious stranger could be, and shivers cascaded down her spine as she looked around at the whole crowd, fixing her eyes on Elara's worried face.The moment they entered the cozy little house, Lily almost choked Valarie with her arms, her small face wrinkled

Rose, the woman he had loved and lost, and now Valarie, the woman who had loved him despite his flaws.

Dominic's head snapped towards her, his eyes narrowing in anger."What the fuck are you doing here?" he growled, taking a step towards her.But Valerie didn't listen. She ran towards Arthur, her eyes fixed on his battered face. She reached out and gently touched his cheek, her gaze flicking up to Max, who looked down, shamefaced.Valerie turned back to Dominic, her voice trembling with rage. "What is your problem, Dominic? How can you be so cruel? I thought you had changed, but I was wrong."Dominic's face darkened, his eyes flashing with anger. "I said worrying about other men is not your concern," he snarled. "I will kill him."Valerie's eyes blazed with defiance. "Kill, kill everyone, kill me too. What else can you do? What do you know other than killing people? I hate myself for loving you, Dominic."Dominic's face went white with rage. "What did you say?" he spat. "I promised you that I would not hurt

"Dominic, please... you need to know the truth."Dominic's eyes narrowed, his grip on Arthur's hair tightening. "What truth?" he spat.Carter took a deep breath before continuing. "Arthur and Valerie... they've known each other since childhood. They love each other, Dominic. Arthur has always loved her, but he never said anything because... because you married her."Dominic's face turned beet red with rage as he processed Carter's words. His eyes blazed with fury as he stood over Arthur, who was lying on the ground, beaten and bruised by Dominic's guards."You knew her before, and you never told me," Dominic spat, his voice venomous. "She loved you, and I made you her bodyguard. Tell me the truth: Did you two ever do anything behind my back?"Arthur winced in pain as he struggled to speak.

    Dominic's voice was calm, but it sent a shiver down Arthur's spine. "Arthur!" he called out, his eyes never leaving the pair.Valarie's grip on Arthur's arm tightened, but Dominic's next words had her releasing him. "Separate them," he instructed, his voice still calm.Valarie's eyes widened in fear as Dominic's guards moved to take Arthur away. She looked up at Dominic, her eyes searching for any sign of mercy. But Dominic's expression was calm, and a calm Dominic was more dangerous than an angry one."D...Dominic," Valarie stuttered, trying to appeal to whatever humanity was left in him.Dominic took a step closer to her, his eyes never leaving hers. "Calm down. I promised you I wouldn't hurt you, and I'm a man of my word, so don't be afraid," he said, his voice low and soothing.But Valarie knew better than to trust him. She watched in horror as Dominic signaled to his guards, and they dragged Arthur away."What are you going to do with him?" Valarie asked, her voice shaking with fe

    Arthur stood outside Valarie's room, his heart racing with anticipation. It had taken him weeks to come to this decision, to gather the courage to take this step. He took a deep breath, steadying himself, and then slowly raised his hand to knock on the door."Come in," Valarie's voice called out from inside.Arthur's hand trembled slightly as he turned the handle and pushed open the door. He stepped inside, his eyes scanning the room until they landed on Valarie. She looked up at him, a hint of surprise flickering across her face.Arthur's gaze dropped, his eyes fixed on the floor as he struggled to find the words he wanted to say.

He took a deep breath, his voice barely above a whisper. "I want to say something to you," he said.Valarie's expression softened slightly, but her voice remained firm. "There's nothing t

You built this for me?" She asked, her voice trembling with delight.Dominic smiled, his eyes shining with pride. "I did, sweetheart.

She looked around the cozy space, her eyes shining with a mix of sadness and determination."Can I put a picture of my mom here?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

    They kissed, and Dominic's hands roamed over Valarie's body, his fingers tracing the curves of her waist and hips. Valarie's hands slid up his chest, her fingers tangling in the hair at the nape of his neck.The kiss deepened, their lips moving in perfect sync.

    Valerie's eyes welled up with tears as she listened to Dominic's past. She couldn't imagine the pain and betrayal he had endured. John, who had been standing quietly by, finally spoke up."People aren't born heartless; they become that way for a reason," he said, his voice low and contemplative. He glanced away, his eyes clouding over. "Dominic is really sorry for what he did. He regrets it every day."Valerie's gaze snapped back to John, her eyes searching for answers. John continued, his voice filled with a deep understanding."When you first miscarried, Dominic didn't show his emotions, but he broke down in private. He's a master at hiding his pain, but it's there, simmering just below the surface. And the second time you both lost a child...his pain was triggered, and he couldn't tolerate it."John's eyes locked onto Valerie's, his expression somber. "I know he made mistakes. He should have understood you and been there for you. But he's regretting it now. Don't you think he's suff

"Are you scared?" he growled, his voice low and menacing.Rose took a step back, her eyes wide with fear. "Dominic, I'm sorry," she whispered, tears streaming down her face.But Dominic was beyond consolation. "You betrayed me," he spat, his voice dripping with venom. "Twice. You think a simple apology will suffice?"Rose shook her head, her eyes pleading for forgiveness. "I know I made a mistake, but please, give me a chance to explain..."Dominic's laughter was cold and mirthless. "Explain? You think you can explain away the fact that you aborted my child?"Rose's eyes widened in horror as Dominic's face darkened with rage. "You thought I'd never know, didn't you?" He shouted, his voice echoing off the walls.Rose flinched, her eyes welling up with tears. "Dominic, please..."But Dominic was beyond reason. "Shut up!" he bellowed, his hand raised as if to st
