Amelia's POV"Tell me about your dream family," I requested, a shy smile gracing my lips.Eddie's gaze turned dreamy, his eyes fixed on a point somewhere beyond the trees. "Two kids," he mused, "a boy and a girl. Maybe even a pair of rambunctious golden retrievers thrown into the mix."My heart skipped a beat. "A boy and a girl?" I echoed, surprise laced with a tremor of delight."Yeah," he said, turning to look at me, his gaze locking onto mine. "A little girl with your laugh and your eyes, and a boy with your mischievous spirit and your artistic talent.""Cooking is not an artistic talent," I said, mumbling."It is, Amelia. Especially your cooking," he replied, staring intensely into my eyes.A blush crept up my cheeks as I held his gaze. The future stretched before us, an uncharted map waiting to be explored. We'd talked for hours that day, weaving intricate dreams of a life together - a cozy house filled with laughter, a backyard teeming with playful children, holidays spent surro

Blair’s POVI finally arrived at Thomas’s place and I hummed happily as I walked to his doorstep. I pushed open the door to Thomas's place but the door was already cracked open. I found it weird but then I brushed it off and stepped inside, expecting his usual spotless apartment. My jaw practically hit the floor. The place was a disaster zone.I was so shocked that his whole sitting room was disorganized. Thomas was a neat freak and he would never leave his place that way. His clothes were everywhere like colorful confetti after a party gone wrong. Dirty dishes piled high on the coffee table threatened to topple over. Papers and magazines were all over the floor. It wasn't just messy, it was like a hurricane had swept through.My happy tune died in my throat. This wasn't Thomas. “Something was seriously wrong. Was he sick? Did something happen?” I thought to myself.I knew Thomas was a neat freak and that a big part of what drew me to him in the first place. Opposites attract, you kn

Chapter 103.

Eddie's POVAfter leaving Chloe with Amelia, I walked out of the house and met my driver, Mr John waiting outside for me. He looked tired and distressed, appearing even more so when he saw me. As he approached me, I wondered what was wrong. John's normally stoic demeanor was etched with worry lines that deepened as he reached me. He cleared his throat, his voice raspy. "Mr. Edwards," he began, hesitating slightly. "There's been… a situation at home."My gut clenched. Mr. John only lived for two things: his wife, Sarah, and their only child, a little boy named Tommy. Tommy was a late miracle child, arriving after years of Sarah struggling to conceive. He knew how precious and fragile their family unit was."What is it, John?" I asked, my voice losing its usual confident edge."It's Tommy, sir," he croaked. "He's come down with a bad case of the flu. High fever, chills... the doctor says it's hitting him harder than usual."My heart went out to him. The thought of a small child battlin

Blair’s POVSandra's words hit me like a ton of bricks. My heart pounded, and tears pricked my eyes. But I blinked them back hard. I wasn't about to lose in front of Sharon, not at that moment. Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to sound calm and asked Thomas, "So, how long have you and Sandra been together?" My voice might've been shaky, but I hoped it wouldn't show.Sandra cut in before Thomas could answer, "A few months now."Her smugness was unbearable. I snapped. "That's enough, Sandra!" I shouted, my voice tight with anger. "This isn't about you!"But Sandra wasn't done. Her eyes narrowed. "Actually," she spat, "it kind of is. And for your information, if you must know, my mouth isn't stinking. Maybe you should check yours, considering all the nasty things spewing out of it."The room seemed to shrink, the air thick with tension. I clenched my fists, wanting nothing more than to lash out, but I knew it wouldn't solve anything. Instead, I took a shaky breath, trying to regai

Chapter 105.

Amelia's POVNot long after Chloe woke from her nap, I put on the television and played a Disney movie for her to watch. My slight headache had turned into a full blown migraine and I could barely keep my head up. The afternoon light filtering through the window seemed to throb with each pulse in my head. My playful baking session with Chloe, the whirlwind of emotions I'd battled with Eddie, and the late-night call with Mom – it all felt like a distant memory now, lost in the haze of a feverish fog. The initial headache that had lingered after the conversation with Eddie had morphed into a full-blown migraine, a vicious ice pick stabbing at my temple with each movement.The Disney movie played on a loop, a vibrant blur of colors that did little to penetrate the throbbing pain in my head. Every cough felt like a knife twisting in my chest, and even Chloe's bubbly laughter grated on my raw nerves. I forced a smile, but my body ached with a deep, bone-chilling fatigue.Putting on a brav

Chapter 106.

Blair's POVI was still crying when I heard a knock on my window. I was so surprised to see Sandra, motioning for me to wind down the glass. Instead of whining down, I opened the door and got out of the car.“What did you want?!” I yelled at her.“Well, I’m here to apologize to you. I and Thomas love each other and you know, our love story was more like fate,” she said, sounding so insincere. Instead of replying to her, I angrily slapped her across the face. The world spun for a moment as my hand met Sandra's cheek with a stinging crack. The insincerity dripping from her apology was too much to bear. Tears welled up again, a mix of fury and fresh hurt.She reeled back, hand flying to her reddening face, eyes wide with shock. The picture of fake innocence on her face shattered in an instant."Don't you dare try to play the victim here, Sandra," I spat, my voice laced with venom. I jabbed a finger at her chest, each word a hammer blow. "You think a cheesy line about soulmates erases t

Blair’s POVWe continued talking and then he asked for my name.“I’m Blair and you?” I asked.“James,” he replied to me curtly.“Wow, it was nice meeting you James and thanks for listening to me tonight, it really means a lot to me,” I said to him.“It’s my pleasure, Blair,” he replied to me.“And you look so good by the way,” he added.And then he surprised me with a compliment. I thought to myself that it could be a sign that he was interested in getting to know me better.I flirted back, complimenting his looks as well. “Ohhh, well you are not looking bad as well, handsome James,” I replied to him with a smile. He only nodded his head and continued sipping his drink. I also focused on my drink as well and just then, things got a bit out of hand. I started feeling the effects of the alcohol - feeling tipsy. James, looking out for you, told me to slow down on the drinking but that wasn't the best idea though, because instead of listening, I decided to keep going and even finished the

Chapter 108.

Amelia's POVThe silence stretched on, a charged space filled with the unspoken words that hung heavy in the air. I could feel the warmth radiating off of Eddie as he sat close, his presence a tangible thing. Every fiber of my being wanted to lean in, to bridge the gap between us and explore the emotions bubbling just beneath the surface."Amelia," Eddie finally began, his voice low and hesitant, breaking the comfortable silence. "About Alex's offer…"My gaze darted away from his, a flicker of indecision clouding my eyes. Alex's offer of a fresh start in Paris had seemed like a welcome escape hatch just moments ago. Now, with Eddie's hand reaching out to brush a stray strand of hair behind my ear, the appeal seemed to have dimmed considerably."Yes?" I prompted, forcing a lightness into my voice that I didn't quite feel."Have you… have you given it any more thought?""Some," I admitted, the truth tasting bittersweet on my tongue. "He called me, you know. He offered me a position as h

Chapter 109.

Blair's POVThrowing the covers off, I fumbled for my clothes, scattered haphazardly across the floor. My dress, thankfully, was salvageable. I threw it on, wincing at the sharp sting in my ankle from the forgotten blister heel I'd insisted on wearing.Just as I reached the bedroom door, the sound of clattering dishes reached my ears. My stomach lurched. He was awake.Taking a deep breath, I crept towards the door, hoping to slip out unnoticed. But the aroma of frying bacon and freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, stopping me dead in my tracks. My stomach, traitorously empty after a night of liquid courage, rumbled loudly.The sound seemed to echo through the quiet apartment. I winced, bracing myself for the inevitable confrontation."There you are," a cheerful voice boomed from the kitchen. "Sleeping beauty has finally awakened."I peeked through the doorway, my cheeks burning. James stood by the counter, a spatula in hand, a playful smile on his face. He was dressed in a si

Blair's POVHe chuckled, the sound warm and genuine. "So, coffee it is then. Tell me more about this oncology residency. What made you choose that path?"I hesitated, surprised by his genuine interest. Most people's eyes glazed over when I mentioned the specifics of my job. But something about James, his easy demeanor and quiet attentiveness, made me want to share."It wasn't always the plan," I confessed, taking a long sip of coffee. "I actually started out pre-med with the intention of going into pediatrics. But then my best friend's mom, who's just like a mom to me got ill and I..." I shrugged, not wanting to think about how painful it had been for both Amelia and I to find out about Mom's cancer.and I just got swept up in the fight," I finished. "Seeing the way the oncologist explained things to her, the way she gave Mom hope, even in the face of something so terrifying… It inspired me. I wanted to be on that side of the equation, fighting for people's lives."James listened inte
