The Baby Shower Hayley's POV I woke up today with a flutter in my heart like a kid on Christmas morning. Today was the day! The baby shower! As I lay there, trying to calm my racing heart beat, I could hear the mansion already live with activities. The soft bustling of workers, the hastened footsteps along the hall, the occasional bark of instructions, it all filtered through my closed door, which was a last minute preparation. Even around me, Dora fused with the babies as she bathed and dressed them. She greeted me with a smile when she saw me woke up. I answered warmly before I swung my legs over the side of the bed and padded to the bathroom to have a shower. After a quick shower and throwing on some comfortable clothes, I made my way downstairs for breakfast. The mansion had been polished, looking all white and pristine. Roman had a way of overpampering things, I couldn't help but smile sweetly. After a quick breakfast, feeling excitement bubbling inside me with

A Celebration of New Beginnings Hayley's POV As we all stepped out into the garden, a hushed silence fell over the crowd. I felt my cheeks flush as all eyes turned towards us, and quiet whispers emanated from the gathered guests sitting around the tables. My heart raced, a mix of excitement and nervousness coursing through my veins. I couldn't help but marvel at the final touch of the garden. Twinkling lights hung from the trees, casting a soft glow over the garden. The air was filled with the sweet scent of flowers and the gentle notes of piano music. Roman placed a hand on my back, warm and reassuring, as he guided me forward. He directed the group of ladies to an elegantly decorated empty table, adorned with delicate flower vases and expensive platters. Then, he caught my hand in his and intertwined our fingers, before leading me towards the raised platform where he made his full moon speech almost a week ago. But it felt like a year ago now. Oh! How fast things move.

Bittersweet Farewells and New BeginningsHayley's POVThe next morning after breakfast, me and Roman gathered outside to bid farewell to my family from San Francisco along with Jane and her boyfriend, Benny. My heart felt heavy, a bittersweet ache settling in my chest as I hugged each of them tightly."I can't believe you're leaving already," I said, my voice wavering slightly as I embraced Jane. "It feels like you just got here." I added emotionally.Jane squeezed me back, her familiar lavender scent enveloping me. "I know, honey. Time flies when you're having fun, right?" She pulled back, holding me at arm's length, her eyes shining with unshed tears. "But hey, we'll see each other soon. You promised to come for our engagement party, right?" She reminded me.I nodded, forcing a smile through the lump in my throat. "I wouldn't miss that for the world. You just set the date, and we'll be there." I promised her."You bet," Benny chimed in, wrapping an arm around Jane's waist. "We wou

The Truth Coming To Light Hayley's POV I sang "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" to our twins, Aurora and Orion, who were cradled in my arms. The gentle melody filled the nursery as I rocked them. Their tiny fingers curled around mine, and their eyes slowly closed as sleep began to claim them. The peaceful moment was precious to me, which was something becoming familiar around us these days. As I placed the sleeping babies in their cribs, I heard the bedroom door open. Turning, I saw Roman standing in the doorway, and his face was covered with an unfamiliar expression. It was a mixture of pain, maybe doubt, and something else I couldn't quite place. "Roman?" I whispered, careful not to wake the babies. "Is everything alright?" I asked him, worried. He stepped into the room, and closed the door behind him. "We need to talk, Rose," he said, in a low and strained voice. My heart skipped a beat. Those four words never preceded anything good. "Of course," I replied, trying to

The Trap is SetRoman's POV I woke up early today, and my mind was already racing with thoughts of Victor's escape and the potential fallout. The weight of leadership felt heavier than ever on my shoulders. I needed to see Melissa and Scarlett sooner and get to the bottom of it. I had sent Lucien the letter of inviting them over but he had not replied back to me. I guess one thing is certain now, I need to go over there myself and drag them here.I stomped out of the bed, and grabbed a towel to have a shower, when my phone suddenly buzzed on the side drawer.Lucien's name flashed on the screen and I smiled satisfied. Finally.Taking a deep breath, I answered. "Lucien, good morning." I greeted him."Roman," Lucien's voice came through, with a mix of curiosity and concern. "I received your letter. Is everything alright? It seemed rather unnatural." He voiced his mind freely. I had never demanded seeing Melissa and Scarlett before.I hesitated for a moment, thinking of what to say. B
