VIVIENNE“What are you suggesting, Leonardo? That someone here was involved?”When I heard that question from my father, even I felt nervous. I preferred not to bring up what happened yesterday. It would only remind Vince of the moment his grandpa shouted at him, and I knew how much that had hurt him. The last thing I wanted was to reopen that wound, especially in front of everyone. Vince had already been through enough, and dragging him into this conversation again would make things worse.Besides, my parents didn’t know about Leonardo and Emily accusing Vince, or how angry Leonardo had gotten. If they found out, it would create a much bigger problem. My father wouldn’t stay quiet—he’d demand answers, and it would likely turn into an ugly argument. I didn’t want that kind of confrontation, not with the kids watching. It was better to let this go, for now at least.Leonardo chuckled softly, his eyes never leaving Vince. “Oh, I’m not suggesting anything concrete, Ronaldo. Just that i

VIVIENNE DECIDED TO follow Jeremy not because she had feelings for him—far from it. The truth was, she felt bad. Emily's words had been harsh, and though Vivienne wasn’t entirely happy with Jeremy showing up unannounced, she knew he didn’t deserve to be humiliated like that. But there was another reason. Deep down, Vivienne knew she had to talk to Jeremy, not just to smooth things over but to finally set things straight. He needed to know where they stood. It wasn’t fair to keep him hoping for something that wasn’t going to happen.As she walked, Vivienne’s thoughts drifted to Ezekiel. She hated admitting it, but seeing Caroline close to him made her stomach twist with jealousy. She could deny it to everyone else, but not to herself. She was still into Ezekiel, and the feelings she had buried for so long were starting to rise to the surface. Jeremy deserved to know the truth, even if it was hard for both of them.Catching sight of Jeremy walking ahead, Vivienne quickened her pace. “J

EZEKIELThe party that my mother and father planned for my kids was about to start, and I could feel the energy buzzing all around. Guests were already arriving, and I knew in a few minutes, all eyes would be on us, especially on Vince and Vera. They both stood beside me, looking perfect—like they’d just stepped out of a fairy tale. Vera was wearing her flowing light blue dress which made her look like a little princess. That was also the case with her twin brother. Vince looked every bit like a prince in his tailored suit."Alright, you two," I said, crouching down to their level as I tried to calm them before things really kicked off. "It’s going to be a big night, okay? Lots of people are going to be watching you, so just remember to smile and be polite."Vera gave me a wide grin. "I can do that! Easy!" she said, her eyes sparkling as she twirled in her dress. Vince, on the other hand, looked a little less sure. "Do we really have to talk to everyone, Dad?" he asked, pulling at

VINCE AND VERA noticed that something was wrong when they saw their mom leave the party quickly after what Caroline said and their father followed her. No other people seemed to notice it but they did. With that, they looked at each other as they worried about their parents. Since they still needed to be on stage and accept gifts from other guests, they made a silent agreement. "We need to find them later," Vince whispered to Vera. Vera nodded. "Let’s split up. I’ll check outside, and you go inside."When finally, their grandmother took the spotlight again, they took that chance to secretly leave the venue and look for their mom and dad. Vince hurried off toward the mansion. He knew where the security room was and thought he could use the cameras to find their parents. As he sneaked into the security room, he was relieved to find it empty. He sat down in front of the screens, trying to figure out how to work the system. He started clicking through the cameras but wasn’t sure what

VIVIENNETears filled my eyes as I stared at Ezekiel kneeling before me. His green eyes were looking up, waiting for me to say something. The promise ring he held was small, but the weight of the moment felt so big. My heart was throbbing so fast, and for a second, I couldn’t breathe. Everyone was watching us. I could feel their eyes, but right now, all I saw was Ezekiel.I glanced up, trying to clear my mind. My parents were standing nearby. They both looked shocked, but there was something else in their faces—pride, maybe? I was not sure. My father raised his eyebrows slightly, while my mother smiled softly. I wasn’t so sure of what to expect from them, but seeing that small sign of support helped ease my nerves.Then, I saw Vince and Vera. They were standing at the back, watching closely. Vince had his arms crossed with his usual unreadable face, but Vera looked so happy. Her eyes were wide, and her smile was the biggest I’d seen in a long time. Seeing them there reminded me th
