EZEKIELThe house was quiet now. The kids were sound asleep in their rooms, and I had decided to stay for the night. It just felt right being here. Vivienne and I were sitting on the couch. I glanced over at her, watching the way her fingers absentmindedly traced the edge of the cushion. She looked peaceful, but I could tell she was thinking about something. Maybe the ring, or maybe everything that’s happened lately. “So,” I finally said, breaking the silence. “Do you like the ring?”Her eyes flicked to mine, a small smile playing on her lips. “Yes, I do. It’s beautiful, Zeke.”I felt a wave of relief wash over me. “I’m glad,” I said softly, reaching for her hand, gently rubbing my thumb over her knuckles. For some reason, I was nervous, even though she’d already accepted it. Maybe it was because so much was riding on this—on us.Vivienne turned to face me more fully, her brow furrowing slightly as she asked, “When did you get it, though? I didn’t even know you were planning thi

“THAT WENT FASTER than I expected,” Ezekiel said, trying to ease the silence. The process had gone smoothly—papers signed, fees paid, and everything set for the twins to begin their studies.Vivienne nodded, her gaze shifting around as she scanned the area. "Yeah, but where's Vince?" she asked, realizing only Vera was by her side. Vera, always full of energy, perked up. “I’ll go find him!” she said excitedly, already dashing off before her parents could respond.Vivienne sighed softly, giving Ezekiel a small smile. “I guess we should’ve expected that.”Ezekiel chuckled and nodded, “We’ll give them a few minutes. Vince will turn up.”Meanwhile, Vera weaved her way through the school grounds, her eyes sharp as she looked for her twin brother. She was halfway down the courtyard when she saw someone familiar standing by the school fountain. It was Genesis, the boy she had met at her dad's party. He seemed to be waiting for someone, and when their eyes met, he gave her a small wave.

VIVIENNEAs I stood outside the school with Ezekiel, I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. It was the kids' first day of school, and I was anxious to hear how it went. I spotted Vera first. Her bright smile was the first thing I saw as she came running toward us, her pigtails bouncing with each step.“Mom! Dad!” Vera called out, practically flying into my arms. Her excitement was contagious, and I found myself grinning just watching her.“Hey, sweetie!” I said, giving her a big hug. “How was your first day of school?”“It was amazing!” she beamed, pulling away to show me her hand. “Look! I got two stars on my quiz!” She showed off the stamps proudly. “Can I get a reward? I want a new doll!” she added, her eyes sparkling as she looked up at Ezekiel.Ezekiel chuckled and gave her a playful wink. “A doll, huh? Well, you did work hard for those two stars,” he said, teasing her a bit before nodding. “Alright, we can get you a new doll.”Vera squealed as she kept jumping up and dow

“ARE YOU LEAVING already?” Genesis asked Vera as he walked beside her. They just stepped out of the classroom. Vera’s backpack was bouncing lightly as she walked with Genesis. The school day had ended, but she wasn’t leaving just yet. She glanced around the school grounds, wondering where her brother was.“No, not yet,” Vera replied, shaking her head. “I’m waiting for Vince. He’s at soccer practice. Then we’ll wait for our mom and dad to pick us up.”Genesis smiled. “That’s nice. You always wait for each other?”“Yeah since our parents said we should always stick together,” Vera said, shrugging. “We usually leave together.”As they reached the field, Vera spotted Vince practicing alone. He was dribbling a soccer ball. His focus was intense, like he was shutting out everything around him. Vera watched for a moment, admiring how good her brother was at soccer.Genesis noticed her watching Vince and nudged her lightly. “Do you play soccer too?” he asked, his tone playful.Vera shook h

VIVIENNE“Vince, Vera, remember to behave,” I reminded them as we walked into the event. I shot a quick glance at both of them, giving my best serious-mom look. They nodded, though I could see the excitement bubbling in Vera’s eyes and the slight nonchalance in Vince’s. He was always calm and composed, but I could tell he was curious about the fashion show, even if he wouldn’t admit it.“They’ll behave, don’t worry,” Ezekiel assured me, a soft smile on his face as he placed his hand gently on my back. “Right, kids?”“Yes, Dad,” they both answered in unison, making me feel a little more relaxed. We were attending one of the biggest fashion events of the year. I had been invited as a guest to a fashion show hosted by Aton, the most famous designer of our time. It still felt unreal that we were here. Honestly, I was shocked when Aton himself contacted me. I hadn’t spoken to him in months, and I didn’t think he’d even remember me. But somehow, he did. And not only did he remember me, bu
