Jax's POVAs days turned into weeks, I found myself torn between two worlds. Each passing moment brought a heightened awareness of the complexities and consequences of my feelings. I couldn't deny the growing affection I felt for Kiara, but I also couldn't ignore the commitment I had made to Ivy.Seeking guidance and a way to untangle the emotions swirling within me, I turned to Kiara, knowing that her kind and compassionate nature would help me navigate the path ahead. She listened attentively, validating my turmoil and reminding me of the importance of honesty and open communication but it was hard to implement all that she said as her, herself was finding it hard to follow her own advice.As Kiara continued to urge me to rethink my choices, I couldn't ignore the growing attraction between us. It was a difficult situation for both of us since Kiara was finding it just as hard to hide her developing feelings as I was. We found ourselves meeting more frequently in the woods, the same

Ivy's POVLife was going smoothly, or so it seemed. The wounds inflicted by Jax's betrayal were healing, but I couldn't help but admit that a lingering thread of mistrust continued to haunt me. As much as I wanted to restore the trust in my husband, there were times when my mind spiraled into doubt. Times where I suspected that instead of being at work, he was with some other woman elsewhere having the time if his life and remembering how he was before we even met did not help my situation at all. My trust issues were on the high and no matter how hard I tried, it was hard to tame it and it all started one evening, as I came back from work and decided to rest before I started making dinner.

Jax's POVI never thought I would find myself in this situation. Or even my family in this type of situation.The idea of my wife, Ivy, having an abortion for our fourth child went against everything I believed in. I was not overtly religious but it just didn't feel like it was a good thing to do, ever. But I knew I also had to face the reality that it was Ivy's decision to make, and considering that her health was also at stake here. There was nothing I could do to change her mind which was already hundred percent made up.We had always been on the same page when it came to family planning. We agreed that two children would be enough but that still didn't mean we weren't open to more or so I thought so we did not really take extreme measures to prevent further pregnancies because I thought other children were going to be welcomed unless something like the previous miscarriage on the first pregnancy happened. And now, here we were, facing the unexpected news of a fourth child that I w

Since we decided to make some changes in our roles in the house, with him taking on my office job in addition to his and me solely managing the household and the kids, I had noticed a remarkable change in my overall happiness.

I couldn't help but cherish the precious moments of tranquility that had become a regular occurrence.As Jax entered the kitchen, dressed in his professional suit.
