Kiara:Waking up this morning is one of the worst things on my list for the day. I do not want to wake up to the emptiness that Zane’s absence causes, but I know I cannot remain in bed forever. After a while, I cannot stand the taste in my mouth. So, I open my eyes to the bare bed. I run my hands on it, taking a deep breath to quiet my aching heart.Last night I cry myself to sleep, and now I do not have any tears left to give, so I sit up at once, causing my jaw to drop as I spot a basket of Golden-Rayed Lilies in my room. Last time, he bought a variety of lilies, and I do not touch them until they were taken away.I push myself out of bed at once, rushing towards the table in front of me, then I see a note attached to the flowers.“To the girl with a golden smile, who walked into my life and knocked down all my barriers in the most beautiful way.”My belly flutters at once, and I get that instant feeling of butterflies. I lift the basket in my hand, taking in the scent of the flower

THIRD PERSON POV:Mindy’s plan is to get close to Kiara, and maybe find her way into Zane’s life, but knowing Zane has proposed to another woman drives her insane. When she was with Zane, she probed him about his desire to settle with her, but he was never straight with her. The fact he has moved on and she cannot tear her down.“He is mine!” she says aloud as the taxi comes to a halt.The driver glances at her through the rearview mirror, and she looks at him with her brows drawn down.“And what are you looking at?” she asks in a vile tone, opening the door and getting out. Then she reaches for her purse, tossing the money into his car before walking off.As she walks into her apartment, she slams the door shut, letting out a loud scream of frustration as she crashes to the floor. Her heart is racing, and all she can think of is how to get rid of Kiara. Just thinking of her makes her angry, and a part of her wishes Kiara was ugly, but she is pretty. She thinks of what to do, then sud

THIRD PERSON POV:Kiara wakes up on the fourth day of their break to find a basket of Madonna Lillie’s. A smile forms across her face as she dashes out of bed, grabbing the basket to read the note attached to it.“To the woman I want to have my kids with, and the woman I will love till eternity,” she reads out loud.She doesn’t wait for Rufus to knock today, and she rushes to the door, opening it to see Rufus with his phone. She grabs it from him.“Good morning, baby,” Zane’s gruff tone comes from the phone, causing her belly to flutter.“Good morning,” she says.“So, did you sleep well?” he asks, and she lets out a chuckle.“Like a baby.”“Like my baby,” he adds, causing her to grin widely. “It’s day four already, and we only have ten days until we’re together. I can’t wait,” he says, and she goes silent for a moment.She reflects on the past few days, especially when she threw a tantrum on Sunday, struggling to believe she could spend two weeks without him.“Did I say something wron

THIRD PERSON POV:It’s the middle of the night, and a terrible fever awakes Blake. He manages to reach out for Veronica, who is fast asleep beside him.“Babe, please wake up,” he calls, and Veronica, being a light sleeper, instantly jolts from the heat of his palm on her skin.“Oh, my days! You’re burning up,” she cries in worry as she feels his body temperature. How could this be? She wonders because he seemed perfectly fine before they went to bed, and it couldn’t be the food, could it? No, because Lila would not be that careless, and besides, they both had the same meal.“I can barely move,” Blake says.“Don’t worry, darling. It’s just a silly fever; I’ll get the healer, and he’ll make it go away,” Veronica comforts him, stroking his hair. Just as she said, she sends a servant out into the dark, and in a matter of minutes, the pack healer is there.“What’s wrong with him? It’s just a little fever, isn’t it?” Veronica asks once the healer is done examining Blake. The urgency in her

KIARA:Ever since my last encounter with Mindy, I haven’t been able to get her words out of my head. It’s shocking that Rufus agreed to keep it from Zane. He understands my situation for the first time and is allowing me to process my emotions. He’s been helpful too, checking to see if I’m okay. For two days, I’ve been trying to process my feelings. I tried to put up with Zane yesterday, but today is different.When I spot the basket of lilies, a surge of irritation curls through my belly. I get up from the bed, walking toward the basket. Sniffing the flowers only makes me feel worse, and I push it away without trying to identify what kind of lily it is. My eyes catch the note accompanying it, and I do not bother reading it either. I know a call will come next, so I take deep breaths, trying to prepare myself for Zane’s call.The sole purpose of this break is to heal and move on, but thanks to Mindy, it’s a lot harder than I imagined. Rufus’s knock comes at the door, and I force a smi
