Chapter Thirty-one

The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the parking lot as we made our way back to the company. Daryl insisted that I take a break from work for the time being. He gave me a quick kiss, then turned and headed back towards the building.I was seated inside the SUV, waiting for him. He emerged from the building a few minutes later, his shoulders slumped, his face etched with exhaustion. As he walked towards me, I couldn't help but wonder if I truly loved him. His strength, his kindness, his unwavering dedication to his work, all of it drew me to him. But was it love, or simply admiration? Taking a deep breath, I forced a smile.“He holds a unique place in my heart,” I remarked softly, my gaze fixed on him as he moved about.Daryl made his way to his car, rummaging through it for a moment before pulling something out. The door thudded shut behind him, and he turned to approach my SUV. I reached over to open the door, a smile tugging at my lips as he c

Chapter Thirty-Two (SPECIAL CHAPTER)

Laxus Miguel's POVMy life with Tyra was a symphony of shared moments, a tapestry woven with laughter and love. We were happy, building our family, and with each passing day, my love for her deepened. There was a certainty in our connection, a feeling of belonging that I had never experienced before. It was the kind of love that made you believe in happily ever after, the kind of love that made you want to spend the rest of your life by someone's side, holding onto that feeling of belonging, forever.“Hey, dude! What made you think like that?” George's voice cut through the noise, his hand a gentle touch on my shoulder. I was startled, jolted back to the reality of the pre-wedding celebration. The air was thick with the scent of cheap beer and the lingering aroma of pizza, the music thumping a relentless beat. My friends were in their element, laughing, joking, and raising their glasses in a toast for me. Kean kept the drinks flowing, while Jared bro

Chapter Thirty-three

My phone buzzed in my hand, Tyler's voice a lifeline in the tense silence of the living room. "We're going first to secure Marco's safety," he said, his words laced with urgency. I could practically feel the tension in his voice, the weight of responsibility he carried. He had already abandoned his work, just as Joana had done, to ensure Marco's well-being."Thank you, Tyler!" I breathed, my voice shaky with relief. I glanced at Marco, oblivious to the storm brewing around him, happily building a tower of blocks in the corner."I will send a car to the airport to fetch you and Marco," Tyler added, his voice a soothing balm to my anxieties. I smiled, a small flicker of hope in the dark cloud of worry. He couldn't see it, but I knew he felt it."Thank you for doing that for Marco," I whispered, my voice thick with gratitude. A familiar voice cut through the line, Joana's, sharp and determined. "We need to go!""Have a safe flight!" I called out, my

Chapter Thirty-four

The low hum of the airplane engine was a comforting lullaby as we settled into our seats. Marco was nestled beside me, his head drooping slightly. "Mom, I'm sleepy!" he mumbled, his voice barely audible above the engine's drone. I gently adjusted his position, making sure his seatbelt was secure and his head was resting comfortably against the headrest. "You can sleep now, honey," I whispered, my voice soft enough not to disturb the other passengers."Thanks, Mom!" he replied, his eyes already fluttering closed. I watched as his small chest rose and fell with each breath, his face relaxed and peaceful. I reached out and gently stroked his hair, a familiar gesture that always seemed to soothe him. The rhythmic hum of the engine, the gentle rocking of the plane, and the soft warmth of my son's presence lulled me into a state of drowsiness. Before I knew it, I too had drifted off to sleep. The gentle sway of the plane and the soft m

Mom, her face etched with worry, remains at the hospital, her unwavering presence a source of comfort for Dad.Inside the kitchen, a different kind of energy hums. Laura, her hands moving with practiced ease, tackles the task at hand, her focus a welcome distraction from the anxieties that linger.

His question, "When are we going to start?" cuts through the unspoken tension, bringing the weight of the future crashing down."I will enroll Marco first before I will start to work for our company," I answered, meeting his gaze.

Chapter Thirty-six

The meeting concluded, and I felt a surge of relief. I yearned to escape the confines of the room, to breathe in the fresh air and leave the weight of the discussion behind. However, as I moved towards the exit, Tyler intervened. He placed his hand on my shoulder, his expression unreadable. "One moment," he stated, his voice firm and controlled. I attempted to explain my need to depart, but my words seemed to fall on deaf ears. He remained resolute, his gaze unwavering. My attempts to persuade him proved futile.My heart hammered against my ribs. I was about to crumble. Then, Tyler's low voice pierced the chaos."Be professional, Tyra! Pull yourself together. We have to win them over." I shook my head, the words "I can't" choked in my throat. His voice, however, hardened with purpose. He painted a stark picture. The investors' investment, their faith in the company, their expectation of a successful demonstration – all hanging in the bala

Chapter Thirty-seven

I was engrossed in the task at hand, carefully slicing the steak, each movement precise and deliberate. Then, a prickling sensation on the back of my neck, a subtle shift in the atmosphere, made me pause. I felt it, a gaze upon me, an unseen presence. Slowly, I lifted my head, my eyes scanning our table.My gaze drifted across, and there was Jared. The moment our gazes locked, a slow smile spread across his face, transforming his expression from studious to mischievous."Excuse me," I announced, my voice a little higher than usual, "I'm going to make a quick trip to the powder room." I pushed back my chair, the sound of metal scraping against tile echoing in the quiet restaurant.I stood up, feeling the familiar ache in my back from sitting for too long. My eyes met Monica's, and I offered her a reassuring smile, a silent apology for the interruption. She returned the smile, her gaze warm and understanding.With a quick caress to my hair and a f

Chapter Thirty-eight

The weight of his hand on my arm felt heavy, almost suffocating. I gently but firmly removed it, my voice a quiet, "Excuse me," as I turned and began the short walk to my office. The familiar comfort of my workspace greeted me. I dropped my bag onto the table with a soft thud and reached for my computer, the familiar click of the keyboard a welcome sound. Before I could settle in, a shadow fell across my desk. I looked up to see Laxus, his presence filling the small space with an air of tension. He sat down in the chair opposite me, his gaze fixed on me. My phone buzzed in my pocket, a reminder of the day's work. I pulled it out and sent a quick message to Sophia, my assistant, asking about my appointments. The door creaked open, and Sophia entered, her smile faltering as she saw Laxus. Her eyes widened in surprise. "You are asking about your schedule?" Sophia inquired, her voice a gentle melody in the otherwise tense atmosphere. I nodded, my gaze still fixed on the iPad she

Chapter Thirty-nine

The days leading up to Marco's fifth birthday were a whirlwind of activity. I was knee-deep in party planning, juggling decorations, invitations, and a seemingly endless list of to-dos. It felt like I was living in a perpetual state of organized chaos, fueled by sugar-coated birthday cake and the excited anticipation of my son's big day. Then, Monica's invitation arrived. A simple text message, inviting me to an "intimate gathering." I knew exactly what it was about. Monica wanted to flaunt her newfound happiness with Laxus. It was the same old song and dance, a carefully curated display of their perfect life, meant to subtly remind me of what I had lost. I couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness. It wasn't that I envied their happiness, it was the blatant attempt to rub it in my face that stung. I knew Monica wouldn't have invited me if she wasn't seeking validation, a silent confirmation that she was truly winning. But I wasn't going to play her g

"Babe!" I called out, my voice laced with relief as I saw Daryl behind me. His face breaking into a grin that lit up the whole place. In a heartbeat, he was beside me, his strong arms wrapping around me in a hug that felt like coming home.He showered my head with kisses, each one a whisper of reassurance, a balm for the ache of missing him. I leaned into him, inhaling the familiar scent of his cologne, a scent that always brought a sense of peace. "I miss you," he murmured into my ear, his voice husky with emotion. I nodded, my heart overflowing. "I miss you too," I whispered back, then pulled away, my gaze sweeping over the faces of our friends gathered around us. "Hey, bro!" Tyler greeted Daryl with a boisterous laugh, clapping him on the back."Nice to see you here, Daryl," Joana chimed in, her smile warm and genuine. I smiled back at them, feeling a surge of gratitude for their friendship. And then, there was Laxus. His gaze
