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

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

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

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

"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
