Chapter 11 - Sweet Dance

The party at Villa Grande was in full swing, and the champagne was flowing freely. The atmosphere was lively, with laughter and clinking glasses filling the grand ballroom. Dominic and Natalie were surrounded by colleagues and friends, all enjoying the celebration. Natalie couldn’t help but blush every time someone mentioned how well she and Dominic complemented each other. It was no secret among the guests that they made a strong team, and tonight, the playful teasing seemed to amplify that fact. “You two make such a great team,” one of their colleagues, Steve, remarked with a grin. “I’ve always said that power couples run the world.” Natalie’s cheeks turned a deeper shade of pink. “Thanks, Steve,” she said, trying to sound casual. “We do work well together.” Dominic, however, wasn’t as amused. He smiled politely but didn’t engage with the suggestion. His mind was elsewhere, still preoccupied with thoughts of Nicole and the events of the day. As the night went on, more drinks wer

Chapter 12 - Mistaken

The evening at Villa Grande had left everyone with mixed emotions. As the guests began to disperse and the night wound down, Natalie decided it was time to call it a night. “Goodnight, everyone,” she said softly, offering a small smile to the group. “I’m going to head to my room.” “Goodnight, Natalie. Rest well,” Everyone replied, watching her leave. Natalie walked back to her room, her thoughts racing with everything that had happened during the party. She couldn’t shake the feeling of rejection from overhearing Dominic’s conversation with Mark. She sighed, trying to push the thoughts away as she closed the door behind her. Meanwhile, Dominic returned to the table where a few colleagues were still enjoying their drinks. He joined them, picking up his glass and taking a long sip. Mark noticed the deep furrow in Dominic’s brow and leaned in closer. “Hey, what’s going on? You’ve been quiet all night,” Mark said, his voice filled with concern. Dominic sighed heavily. “It’s been a lo

Nori’s eyes were wide with wonder as she stepped out of the taxi cab and onto the bustling streets of Everglow City. She clung to Brenda’s hand, her tiny frame dwarfed by the towering buildings that surrounded them. The city was alive with energy, and Nori couldn’t help but be amazed by the sights and sounds. “Look at all the lights, Nana!” Nori exclaimed, her voice filled with awe. Brenda chuckled, her heart swelling with happiness at Nori’s excitement. “It’s something, isn’t it, darling? Just wait until you see it at night.” Jessica, standing beside them, took a deep breath and looked around, a mixture of nerves and excitement coursing through her. “It’s so different from the cabin,” she said, her voice tinged with both anticipation and anxiety. Brenda squeezed her hand reassuringly. “You’ll get used to it, Jessica. It’s a big change, but it’s a good one.” Together, they made their way to their new apartment on Emerald Street. The building was modest but well-kept, with a f

Chapter 15 - She is Pregnant?

Natalie sat at her desk, a small smile playing on her lips as she glanced at the calendar on her phone. She had been counting the days, not with dread, but with a growing sense of excitement. She was late—very late. It was something she had noticed almost two weeks ago, but she hadn’t wanted to jump to conclusions too quickly. However, as more days passed, she began to piece everything together: the unusual fatigue, the slight nausea in the mornings, and the way her emotions seemed to be riding a roller coaster.It all pointed to one thing, and while the thought might have terrified someone else, Natalie found herself thrilled by the possibility. She might be pregnant.She leaned back in her chair, letting the idea wash over her. This could change everything, but not in a bad way. Not at all. For Natalie, this was a win-win situation. She had always liked Dominic, more than she ever let on. He was strong, dependable, and there was a kindness in him that drew her in. They had shared th

Chapter 16 - A Lingering Thought

Natalie left Dominic’s office with her heart still racing. The conversation had gone better than she had expected, but she knew it was far from over. She could see the uncertainty in Dominic’s eyes, the way he was grappling with the possibility that their lives could be changing in such a profound way. But that was okay—she didn’t need everything to be decided right away. This was just the beginning, and she was willing to let things unfold slowly, one step at a time.As she walked back to her office, Natalie couldn’t help but feel a strange mix of emotions. On one hand, she was excited about what might be happening inside her body, the potential of a new life growing. But on the other hand, there was still a lingering doubt, a tiny voice in the back of her mind reminding her that she didn’t know for sure yet.She hadn’t taken a pregnancy test. She hadn’t seen a doctor. All she had were the signs—being late, the fatigue, the queasiness. But those could be explained by other things too

Chapter 17 - Shadow Figure

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the quaint streets of Everglow. Jessica walked home from the coffee shop, the cool evening air a welcome relief after a long day on her feet. But tonight, there was an unusual tension in the air, something that made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.As she turned onto the street where her small apartment was nestled, she caught a glimpse of a figure standing in the shadows across from her building. The figure was tall, dressed in a dark coat, and seemed to be watching her. Jessica's heart skipped a beat, but when she blinked, the figure was gone.She shook her head, trying to dismiss the feeling of unease. It had been a long day, and she was probably just tired. But as she reached her apartment door, she couldn’t shake the sensation that someone had been watching her. She fumbled with her keys, her hands trembling slightly, and quickly let herself in, locking the door behind her.Inside, the apartment was quiet an

Chapter 18 - Things Started to Change

Morning light streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. Natalie stood in front of the mirror, brushing her hair. She caught herself smiling—really smiling—for the first time in a long while. There was something different about today, something she couldn’t quite put her finger on, but it made her feel good. Happy, even.She glanced at her reflection, noticing how her skin seemed to glow, how her dress fit just right. It was a simple dress, nothing fancy, but today it felt special. “Maybe it’s just a good day,” she muttered to herself, letting the thought linger as she sipped her tea by the window. She had a few extra minutes before she needed to head to the office, and she was determined to enjoy this moment of peace.Across town, Dominic was getting ready for the day too, but something about this morning felt off. Not in a bad way, just… different. As he buttoned his shirt, he found his mind wandering back to his conversation with Natalie a few days ago. Her f

Chapter 19 - Dark Figure Still There

Night had fallen over Everglow, the quiet streets illuminated by the soft glow of street lamps. Jessica walked home from the coffee shop, her footsteps echoing on the pavement. The day had been long but fulfilling, and she was looking forward to getting home to Nori.But as she turned the corner onto her street, that familiar sense of unease crept up on her again. She paused, her eyes scanning the area, and there it was—the same figure she’d noticed before, standing in the shadows across from her apartment. Tall, cloaked in darkness, and watching her. A shiver ran down her spine.She blinked, and just like every other time, the figure was gone, as if it had never been there at all. Jessica stood there for a moment longer, trying to convince herself it was just her imagination. But deep down, she knew something was off. This wasn’t the first time she had seen that figure, and each time it happened, her sense of dread grew stronger.She shook her head, trying to brush it off. “I’m just

The evening breeze was cool as Dominic stepped out of his office and into the city streets.

There was a shift in the air, something more personal than their usual business meetings.He arrived a few minutes early, the familiar hum of the city providing a comforting background noise as he waited outside the restaurant. His thoughts drifted back to Natalie, to the way she had been glowing recently, the subtle changes in her demeanor that had caught his attention.
