XANDER’S POVI sat on a bench in the hospital garden, breathing in the fresh air. I could walk a little now, and the physiotherapy I had been doing was paying off. The sun felt warm on my skin, and I watched the flowers swaying gently in the breeze. It was a peaceful day, and I felt calm.Adeline had gone to get a fruit punch. She loved that drink, but she always insisted I was the one who was obsessed with it.I smiled to myself, thinking about her. She had been so strong through everything, and I was happy she trusted me now.I remembered some days back Sasha had come to see me and it bothered me because I didn’t want Adeline thinking I was being sneaky behind her back. Immediately she came back I had told her. "Adeline," I began, looking into her eyes. "I need to tell you something."Her expression turned serious. "What is it?""While you were out last time, Sasha came to visit me," I said. I saw her tense up a little, so I quickly added, "But I asked her to leave."Adeline's ey

SASHA’S POVI woke up with a mission today. I had to get Xander’s mom to forgive me and be on my side. That was the only way I could think of that would work for me to get back into Xander’s life. I got out of bed, my mind racing with plans and ideas.I took a long shower, letting the hot water soothe my nerves. I needed to look perfect, flawless. I chose a simple, elegant dress. It was white, with soft fabric that hugged my body just right. I put on some light makeup, just enough to highlight my features. I brushed my hair until it shined, then tied it up in a neat bun.My mom walked into my room as I was putting on my shoes. “Where are you going?” she asked, her voice sharp.“I’m going to meet Xander’s mom,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm.My mom shook her head. “Have some self-respect, Sasha. Stop thinking about Xander. It’s never going to work out between you two anymore. You’re just embarrassing yourself and our family.”Her words stung, but I couldn’t let them get to me

XANDER’S POVI woke up to the soft beep of the hospital machines, the same sound I had been hearing for the past month and a week. Today was different, though. Today, I was getting discharged. After pushing through with physiotherapy, I could finally walk around without crutches. The doctors were still cautious, reminding me not to put any weight on my leg until it healed completely, but I felt stronger and ready to leave.The door opened, and a very excited Adeline came in carrying a huge bouquet of flowers. My mom was right behind her, a big smile on her face."Xander!" Adeline exclaimed, rushing to my bedside. She leaned in, and I hugged her tightly, kissing her deeply."Lovebirds," my mom teased as she came over to hug me. "Congratulations on getting well, Xander.""Thanks, Mom," I said, feeling a swell of gratitude."I’ll go do the paperwork for your discharge," Mom said, giving us some privacy.As soon as she left, I pulled Adeline closer, cuddling her. "I missed you so much,"

ADELINE’S POVI woke up late. The sun was already high in the sky, and I felt a rush of panic. I had promised to see my grandparents off at the airport. They were leaving Manhattan and going back to Washington, and I knew I was going to miss them terribly. I didn't have time to go back to my own home, so I grabbed Xander's car keys and hurried out.The drive to the airport was a blur. I could feel my heart racing as I sped through the streets. I kept glancing at the clock, hoping I wouldn't miss them. When I finally arrived at the airport, I parked quickly and ran inside.The terminal was crowded and noisy, but I spotted my grandparents near the check-in counter. My granddad looked grumpy, as usual, and my grandma was trying to soothe him."I can't believe this delay," Granddad grumbled. "We should have just used a private jet. This is such a hassle."Grandma patted his arm gently. "Oh, stop complaining. I wanted to fly normally for once. It's not the end of the world."I smiled at

XANDER’S POVI hadn't felt this content in a long time. Just being with Adeline was enough to satisfy me. Work could wait;I knew my mother was managing everything well at the company. She ran a tight ship, and I trusted her completely."I'm thinking we should go fishing," I suggested to Adeline one sunny morning. She looked up from her coffee, surprised. "Fishing?" she chuckled. "I haven't done that in years." "My grandfather used to take me," she explained, a wistful smile crossing her face. That settled it for me. I packed up the truck, grabbed our gear, and asked her to come along. She emerged from the house in a simple outfit and boots, looking effortlessly beautiful. My heart skipped a beat."Ready?" I asked with a grin.She nodded, and off we went. The drive to the lake was filled with laughter and stories. Adeline told me about the fish her grandfather caught and the tall tales he spun. By the time we arrived, we were both eager to recreate those memories.Setting up camp w

SASHA’S POVI couldn’t bear it any longer. I had no friends, no lover, no support from anyone, and I felt like disappearing, but I didn’t even know where to go. The loneliness was suffocating. My life was empty, filled with silence and thoughts that wouldn't leave me alone. I needed to do something, anything, to break this cycle.I dressed up, picking a simple but elegant dress. I did my makeup carefully, trying to hide the dark circles under my eyes. My reflection in the mirror looked like a stranger. I took a deep breath and decided to visit Tristan. He was in jail, and it was surprising to hear that Tristan Von Miller, despite who his father was, wouldn’t even be granted bail.Tristan had called me. His voice sounded different, weaker. The mighty Tristan Von Miller, behind bars. It felt surreal. I thought about how he helped me out when I was struggling with my ex-husband. And now he was in jail because of that. Despite everything, I decided to go see him, even though he refuse

XANDER’S POVI stared at Sasha in disgust. She was sitting in the living room, looking small and frightened. Her blonde hair was perfectly styled, and she wore a white dress that looked expensive. But none of that mattered to me now. I couldn't believe what she had done."Why did you plant a bomb in Adeline's company?" I asked, my voice cold and firm. "Why did you try to kill her?"Sasha's eyes widened in shock. She looked at me, then quickly looked away. "I would never do something like that," she said, her voice trembling. "I'm not the one, Xander. I swear.""We have evidence, Sasha," I said, leaning forward. "We know it was you."She started to cry, big tears rolling down her cheeks. "Why would I do something like that to a fellow woman?" she said, her voice breaking."I could never hurt Adeline. I remember when she made me lose my pregnancy. Why would I want to hurt her now?"I felt a wave of irritation wash over me. I couldn't believe she was lying, even now. It was sickening.

ADELINE’S POVI stood outside the entrance of the house, hesitating for a moment and wondering if I should go in or just let Xander handle it. I heard the sound of Sasha’s voice echoing; she was screaming angrily and desperately. My hand tightened around the door handle, but I pushed it open anyway, stepping into the cool, foyer. My heels clicked against the marble floor, and the more I moved deeper into the house, Sasha's voice grew louder.She was yelling now, "You!" she screamed, the sound of her voice piercing through the air like a knife. I turned the corner into the living room and found her there, standing in the middle of the room, her face twisted in rage. Her mother was beside her, tears streaming down her face as she tried to console her daughter, but it was clear that Sasha was beyond any comfort.When Sasha saw me, her eyes widened, and her face contorted even more. She pointed a shaking finger at me, her hand trembling with fury. "This is all your fault!" she screech

XANDER’S POVAll I felt these days was bliss. Waking up next to Adeline was heaven and I won’t trade it for anything.I lay there, staring at Adeline’s beautiful face as she slept, completely oblivious to the world. The early morning light filtered through the curtains and her skin glowed making her look even more angelic than she already was. I couldn’t help but trace the curve of her cheek with my hands touching her nose, marveling at how peaceful she looked. Her long lashes rested gently against her skin, and her lips were slightly parted. It was moments like this that made me realize how lucky I was. I could have stayed there forever, just watching her sleep, completely content.She began to stir. Her nose wrinkled slightly, and then she let out a small, sleepy yawn. My heart swelled with affection as she cuddled closer to me, her arms wrapping around my waist as if seeking more warmth. I held her gently, not wanting to wake her but hoping she would open her eyes soon.A few

XANDER’S POVI watched as Adeline carefully crossed off items from her packing list. Her travel box was already half-filled with clothes, shoes, and accessories, neatly folded and placed inside. My own suitcase sat open beside me, empty. I hadn’t even started packing yet, too preoccupied with the thoughts racing through my mind. We were supposed to be flying to Washington that night, and though we had the whole day to get ready, my nerves wouldn’t settle."So, what if your grandparents hate me?" I asked, genuinely worried. The question had been gnawing at me.Adeline sighed in exasperation. She put down the blouse she was holding and turned to face me. "Not that again," she said, shaking her head. "Xander, you really need to stop expecting the worst. I’ve told you a thousand times; they’re going to love you."I frowned, still not convinced. "But they’re not just anyone, Adeline. I’m meeting the Qylers. And what if…what if I mess up?"She walked over to me, her expression softenin
