“Oh, are you surprised? It was bound to happen. Maybe next time you will learn not to steal someone else’s men,” she sneers. I remain silent, my mind drifting back to those weeks at the beach house. Did they truly mean nothing to Nathan ? The last remaining fragment of my heart shatters. “You’ve delivered your message. Now, please leave,” I manage to say with a trembling voice. She scoffs before finally departing. I hastily retreat inside and shut the door. Everything crumbles within me. I don’t know how long I sit there crying before I drag myself to the phone.

Her words offer some solace, but I can’t stop tears. “Bekah’s I love him,” I s

I can’t bring myself to leave her side, afraid that I might miss any sign of her awakening. My gaze remains fixed on her face, observing the slow rise and fall of her chest. Each shallow breath she takes feels like a lifeline. I can’t help but hold onto hope for a second chance, an opportunity to make things right and become the man she truly deserves. I’m ready to fight for her love if need be. “Hi, Nathan . Why don’t you go home and change, or at least grab something to eat?” Goerge suggests, his voice surprisingly steady. “I’m okay staying here,” I tell him. “My mom’s a fighter. She’ll make it through. You’ll see,” he says with a small smile, his words carrying a quiet confidence. I glance back at Natalia before looking back at Goerge. “I need to use the restroom. I’ll be back soon,” he says, and I nod. I watch him leave quietly. He’s only gone for a few minutes when Mary Ann breaks the silence. "Nathan Natalia spoke to me before the accident," Mary Ann says with a bitterswee

He surprises me with his response."Is it about the fact that you're my dad? I know about everything now. About me and you."I'm taken aback by his revelation."I had no idea you existed, Goerge , I swear."He looks at me, his eyes earnest."I believe you, Nathan . I also didn’t know you were my father either. Mom must have had a good reason for keeping it a secret,” he says, shrugging casually."Oh," I whisper."Yes. And to be honest, I'm somewhat relieved that Jason isn't my father. He treated mom horribly. She tried to protect me from it, but I still knew. She went through a lot with him. ""I wish I could get a hold of that bastard and make him pay for what she went through. Natalia didn't deserve any of that. She is the sweetest woman I know," I tell him."Yes, she is," Goerge says."What do you want to do when Mom wakes up?" He asks, his voice curious yet composed.I meet his gaze, my emotions swirling within me."I want to be there for her, Goerge . I want to be the man she des

"Why did you send me back home?" I finally ask, voicing the question that has been nagging at me since I left Miami."I overheard you telling Mildred that what we had was only work. I got scared because I love you, Natalia . The hard truth is I never stopped loving you," he says as he gently places a hand on my arm."You mean it?" I ask, hope blossoming inside me."Yes, my love. I fought hard these past few weeks, thinking you didn't love me," he says."Funny, because I also cried every day, believing you didn't love me, either." I reveal, a tear escaping my own eye.Nathan smiles and a tear slips from his eyes."I promise you; you won't have to shed a tear anymore. I'm here for you, for Goerge , and for our baby," he reassures me, and I gasp, realizing I haven’t told him everything. I glance at the two men beside me."I have to tell you everything.
