Evelyn beamed with excitement, "Can you believe Jackson is finally coming home today? I've missed him so much!" She fidgeted with the throw pillows on the couch, rearranging them for what felt like the hundredth time.Bella smiled, happy to see her friend so joyful. "I know, it's been ages! The kids must be thrilled to have their dad back."Jason nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I'm sure they've missed him terribly. It's always tough when he's away on business trips."Evelyn checked her watch for what felt like the tenth time. "He said he'd be home by 5 pm. I hope he's not delayed again."Bella got up and walked over to Evelyn, giving her a reassuring hug. "He'll be home soon, Ev. Try to relax."Just then, the sound of children's laughter and shouts of excitement came from the next room. "Daddy's home! Daddy's home!" The twins chimed in unison. They saw him through the window.Evelyn's face lit up, and she rushed to the window, pulling back the curtains to see Jackson's car pulling into th
Bella's eyes widened in shock as Aaron ran towards him, his little arms open wide. "Daddy!" Aaron exclaimed, throwing himself into Evan's arms.Evan's face crumpled as he scooped up Aaron, holding him tightly. "My son," he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion. "My little boy."The room was silent, with all eyes fixed on the emotional reunion. Bella looked stunned, her eyes fixed on Evan and Aaron. Jackson's expression was a mix of confusion and concern.Evelyn, who had been watching from the sidelines, stepped forward. "Evan, what's going on?"First of all, tell me, Aaron, who told me this man is your father?""I saw the pictures of you and Daddy Mommy; please forgive Daddy.""Wait... what... pictures? When and where, and why didn't you tell me?" Bella asked in surprise,Evan looks down,"You already met Aaron and easily won him over; I can't believe Evan, you could do that, first my company and now my son. ""Bella, I had no bad intentions; I just wanted to tell my son that I
The air was thick with tension as they stood there, the only sound was Aaron's gentle breathing. It was as if time had stood still, leaving only the three of them, suspended in a moment of raw emotion.Jason was about to enter the room to look at Aaron, but his step halted when he saw Evan and Bella.Jason's hand hesitated on the doorknob, his eyes fixed on the scene before him. Evan and Bella stood frozen, their gazes locked in an intense moment of emotional connection. The air was charged with a mix of emotions—love, longing, and uncertainty.Jason's eyes narrowed, his mind processing what he was seeing. He had always been protective of Bella and Aaron, and Evan's sudden reappearance had raised his hackles. But now, witnessing the raw emotion between Evan and Bella, Jason's stance softened ever so slightly.He didn't want to intrude on this moment; he didn't want to break the fragile connection between the two. So left.*******************************Evelyn approached Jason, who wa
Jason's heart still raced when he thought about it, his pulse pounding in his veins like a drumbeat. He couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if they had taken that moment further, if they had explored the feelings that had been simmering beneath the surface for so long.But life had other plans, and Evan's return had changed everything. Now, Jason was left to wonder what could have been, his heart still longing for the one person he couldn't have."Destiny brings someone together with a purpose; every person's coming and going in life is pre-determined; it cannot be changed.""You should sleep," Bella said to Evan."I'll stay with Aaron.""Okay."Bella walks out of Aaron's room, but she sees Evelyn in front of her with disappointment in her eyes.Evelyn walks away and Bella follows her; both come to the living room.Bella followed Evelyn to the living room, sensing a heavy atmosphere between them. As they entered the room, Evelyn turned to face her, her eyes filled with a
Adrian and Karen were alone in that dark room."Now is not the right time; the police are looking for you; till now it must be hidden from Evan, also that you have escaped from jail. We have to wait." Karen saidAdrian's eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing through the dimly lit room. "I've been waiting for years, Karen. I need to see this through to finally take Revenge." He set his glass down, his voice taking on a menacing tone. "Evan thinks he's won, but he has no idea what's coming for him."Karen leaned forward, her voice low and urgent. "I understand your impatience, Adrian, but we can't risk everything now. But hurry, ruin our chances. We need to lay low and wait for the perfect moment to strike."Adrian's jaw clenched, his fists tightening. "Fine. But I better not have to wait much longer. I'll take care of Evan, and then... then Bella."Karen's expression remained calm, but a flicker of concern danced in her eyes. She knew Adrian's obsession with Bella. She needed to keep him in
Evan poured himself a cup of coffee and took a seat next to Bella at the breakfast table. He noticed she was staring at her plate, her usual morning chatter absent."Hey, everything okay?" Evan asked, trying to sound casual.Bella nodded, still not looking up. "Yeah, just tired.""You can talk to me, Bella.""Evan, stop it, stop being like my husband; we are not together, and this isn't normal, " she almost shouted."But Bella.""But what? What do you want? Run to you after what you did in the past; its not going to happen, Evan; damage is done and it won't fix; you are Aaron's father; you have right on him, and I won't snatch your right, but don't try to part of my life. Please leave Evan; Aaron is safe here; we are here for him; and I can take care of my son. You want to meet him; you can whenever you want. I won't stop; just leave now." Bella said firmly.Evan's eyes widened, taken aback by Bella's outburst. He had expected her to be upset, but the intensity of her emotions caught
"Thanks for having us over, Bella," Evelyn said, hugging her friend tightly. "We needed this."Bella smiled and hugged her back. "Anytime, Eve. You're always welcome here."Jackson, who was busy buckling the twins into their car seats, looked up and smiled. "Yeah, thanks for the food and the company. We'll have to do it again soon."As they drove away, Bella watched them go with a sense of gratitude. She was lucky to have friends like Evelyn and Jackson, who had been with her through thick and thin.She turned to Jason, who was still playing with Aaron on the living room floor. "Thanks for staying and playing with Aaron," she said, smiling. "He really enjoys spending time with you."Jason looked up and smiled back. "I enjoy spending time with him too," he said. "He's a great kid." she smiled.*******************************Bella couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt and uncertainty as she thought about her conversation with Evan earlier that morning. She had been so confused and fr
Aaron looked up at Evan with curious eyes. "Daddy, where have you been?"Evan took a deep breath, choosing his words carefully. "I've been away for a while, buddy. For my work."Bella came with a cup of coffee and sat in front of him."Today I had so much fun with Jason; we play superhero," Aaron excitedly said."I wish I could play with you too," Aaron said , and Bella and Evan look at each other. He had been without his father for a long time; still, he never behaved like this, but since he knew about Evan, he only wanted to spend time with him.Evan's eyes met Bella's, and for a moment, they just looked at each other, the tension between them palpable. Then Evan turned back to Aaron, a smile on his face. "I'd love to play superhero with you, buddy! Maybe we can even create our own superhero together."Aaron's face lit up, and he started bouncing up and down in his seat. "Yeah! Yeah! That would be so much fun!"Evan and Aaron continued to talk about superheroes. Bella got up and wal

Bella's expression turned icy. "Aaron doesn't want to meet you, Evan. Just leave."Evan's face set in determination. "I won't leave until I see my son."Jason stepped forward, his voice firm. "Bella said no, Evan. You need to respect that."Evan's eyes locked onto Aaron, who looked uncertain. "Aaron, please, just talk to me."Bella's voice rose. "No, Evan! You're not going to hurt him again!"Sarah stepped forward, her voice calm but firm. "Evan has rights as a father, Bella. If you refuse to let him see Aaron, we'll have to take legal action."Bella's face went white with rage. "You'll never take my son away from me!"Jason's eyes flashed with anger. "We don't need this, Bella. Let's just calm down—"But Bella cut him off, her voice venomous. "You think you can just waltz in here and take my son? After everything you've done?"Evan's face reddened. "I've done nothing but try to make amends!"Sarah's voice rose. "Enough! We're not going to stand here and argue all day. We'll go to cou
Jason held Aaron tightly, his voice whispering softly in his ear. "It's okay, buddy. I'm here for you. You don't have to face this alone."Aaron's body shook with sobs, his tears soaking into Jason's shirt. Jason didn't mind; he just held him closer, his heart aching for the pain his son was going through.As they sat there, Jason stroked Aaron's hair, his touch gentle and soothing.Aaron's sobs slowly subsided, replaced by sniffles and ragged breathing. Jason handed him a tissue, and Aaron blew his nose, his eyes red and puffy."I hate him," Aaron whispered, his voice trembling.Jason's expression was understanding. "I know, buddy. But hate is a heavy burden to carry. Maybe one day you can find it in your heart to forgive him."Aaron shook his head. "I don't want to forgive him. I just want him to leave me alone."Jason's grip on Aaron tightened. "I understand, buddy. You don't have to see him if you don't want to. But just know that he's trying to make amends, okay?"Aaron pulled ba
The next morning, Sarah woke up to find Evan already dressed and sitting on the balcony, sipping a cup of coffee. She joined him, noticing the distant look in his eyes."Hey, what's wrong?" she asked, concern etched on her face.Evan forced a smile. "Just enjoying the view."Sarah sat down beside him, placing a hand on his arm. "No, really. You've been distant since last night. What's bothering you?"Evan sighed, setting his coffee down. "I just... saw someone yesterday. Someone from my past."Sarah's eyes narrowed. "Who?"Evan hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. "Just someone I used to know. It brought up some old memories, that's all."Sarah's grip on his arm tightened. "Evan, you can tell me. What's going on?"Evan looked at her, his eyes searching for reassurance. "I promise, it's nothing to worry about. Just old ghosts, okay?"Sarah studied his face, then nodded. "Okay. But if you ever want to talk, I'm here."Evan smiled, relief washing over him. "Thanks, Sarah. That means a l
The stars shone brightly overhead, and Evan and Sarah made their way to the resort's beachside nightclub, the sound of the waves gently lapping at the shore mingling with the pulsating beat of the music. The air was electric with the excitement of the partygoers, and the smell of saltwater and coconut sunscreen filled their nostrils.They danced under the stars, lost in the rhythm and each other's eyes. The crowd around them faded into the background as they swayed to the music, their love shining brighter than any spotlight. Evan's hands rested on Sarah's hips, guiding her movements as they moved in perfect sync. Sarah's laughter echoed through the night air as Evan spun her around, twirling her like a ballerina.The night wore on, they took a break, strolling hand in hand along the beach. The warm sand felt like silk between their toes, and the cool breeze carried the sweet scent of frangipani. They walked to the water's edge, feeling the waves wash over their feet.Sarah leaned int
They watched the sunset, Sarah snuggled closer to Evan, feeling grateful for this new chapter in her life."Evan, can I ask you something?" she said, her voice barely above a whisper."Of course, what's on your mind?" Evan replied, wrapping his arm around her."I was wondering...what made you realize you were ready to move on from your past?" Sarah asked, her eyes curious.Evan thought for a moment before answering. "I think it was therapy, honestly. Rachel helped me And then I met you, and...I don't know, it just felt right."Sarah smiled, her heart full. "I'm glad I could be a part of your journey."Evan turned to her, his eyes locked on hers. "You're not just a part of my journey, Sarah. You're my destination. You're the one I want to be with, to explore life with, to build a future with."Sarah's heart skipped a beat as Evan's words washed over her. "I feel the same way, Evan," she said, her voice trembling.As the sun dipped below the horizon, Evan leaned in, his lips brushing ag
Bella's eyes locked onto Jason's as she held his hand, her grip tightening with each contraction. They had been waiting for this moment for nine long months, and finally, their baby girl was on her way."I can see her head!" the doctor exclaimed, a smile spreading across her face.Bella's heart swelled with emotion as she pushed with all her might. One last push, and Sophia was born, her tiny cry filling the room.Jason's eyes welled up with tears as he gazed at their daughter, his voice shaking with emotion. "She's perfect," he whispered, his lips brushing against Bella's forehead.Bella smiled, her eyes shining with tears, as she gazed at Sophia. She was perfect—tiny, delicate, and beautiful.The doctor handed Sophia to Bella, who cradled her in her arms, feeling an overwhelming sense of love and gratitude."Hello, little one," Bella whispered, her voice barely audible.Jason sat beside her, his arm wrapping around her shoulders, as they both gazed at Sophia in awe.As they sat ther
The sun shone brightly on the beach, casting a warm glow over the shore. Jason and Aaron were hard at work, building an elaborate sandcastle, complete with towers, moats, and a drawbridge. Bella sat under a nearby umbrella, watching them with a smile."I want to add a flag on top, Dad!" Aaron exclaimed, his eyes shining with excitement."Great idea, buddy!" Jason replied, helping Aaron craft a tiny flag from a piece of seaweed and a stick.As they worked, Aaron chattered nonstop about his ideas for the castle, and Jason listened attentively, offering words of encouragement.Bella watched them, feeling grateful for this moment of pure joy. She loved seeing Jason and Aaron bond like this, their laughter and conversation carrying on the breeze."What do you think, Mom?" Aaron called out, looking up at Bella with a proud grin. "Should we add a dragon to the castle?"Bella smiled, playing along. "Absolutely, sweetie! A dragon would be perfect!"Jason chuckled, ruffling Aaron's hair. "I thi
Jason's face lit up with a warm smile as he took the drawing from Aaron. "Wow, buddy, this is amazing! You're such a talented artist!"Aaron beamed with pride, his face glowing. "I'm gonna be an artist when I grow up!""Wow, a few minutes ago you wanted to be a musician?" Bella said, and laughed.His face scrunched up in thought. "Oh yeah! I wanna be a musician AND an artist!" he exclaimed, his eyes wide with excitement.Jason chuckled. "Well, you can definitely be both! You can draw pictures of your guitars and music notes!"Aaron's face lit up even more. "Yeah! And I can draw pictures of Jason playing the piano!"Bella laughed, feeling a sense of joy wash over her. "I think that's a great idea, sweetie. You can be a musician, artist, and anything else you want to be!"******************************************"Another date?" Evelyn asked, raising an eyebrow as Bella dropped off Aaron at her house.Bella rolled her eyes good-naturedly. "Just dinner; Ev. Jason's trying to take my min
