MAISIEI hugged Jason’s arm tightly, a wave of happiness washing over me. I couldn’t describe how much it meant to finally have him back. There might be others who look like him, but I know I’d never find a heart like his. Jason wasn’t just one in a million, he was one of a kind. Our history was marked by pain and betrayal, yet I forgave him long ago, particularly after understanding the reasons behind his actions.Sometimes you just have to let go. Surrender to the moment and let life pass by as though it doesn’t belong to you.That’s exactly what I was doing now. I wasn’t thinking about the past or worrying about the future. I was simply enjoying his closeness, grateful for this fleeting moment of peace.~Hours later~Miriam called to reassure me that Don was home safe. His vacation was over tomorrow, and he’d be heading back to his studies.My thoughts lingered on him for a moment, picturing his cheerful face as he prepared for another term.A knock on the door interrupted my thoug

MAISIEJared’s tone dripped with malice. “He needs to learn that he’s not the only one who can take from others. If he’s going to steal from me, I’ll take everything from him!”“You’re insane!” I snapped, disgusted by his venomous words. “It’s not Jason’s fault that your father was unfair to you. Why are you so filled with hate?”Jared leaned back, laughing. “You don’t get to judge me. You’re no saint yourself. You lied to him—kept his son from him for years. That’s worse than anything I’ve done.”His words cut deeper than I wanted to admit.He raised an eyebrow and his tone turned mocking. “You didn’t even tell him when you saw them together. That’s cruel, don’t you think?”I swallowed hard. My fingers trembled slightly as I rubbed them together. He knew too much. How much more did he know?“What would you have done in my place?” I asked quietly.Jared’s eyes gleamed with cold amusement. “Exactly what you did,” he said icily.I greeted my teeth, hating every second of this conversati

MAISIEI crossed the street, my heart racing as I approached Jason’s car.He was leaning back in the driver’s seat, wearing a tight black shirt that hugged his toned figure.His blue jeans completed the effortlessly attractive look, and I couldn’t help but smile.My cheeks were warm as I turned to face him after sliding into the passenger seat. “Hey.”“Hey,” he replied warmly.I threw my coat in the back seat and buckled my seatbelt.“How was your day, my butterfly?” His voice was soft and it made me smile warmly. But my smile faltered the second I noticed the bandage wrapped around his right hand.“Jason…” I began with worry.He caught my gaze and shook his head lightly as if to reassure me. “A guest came to visit me today,” he said casually, resting his injured hand on the steering wheel. “I was just saying hello to him. You don’t have to worry.”Guest? My stomach twisted. Did he mean his brother?“Jason,” I said hesitantly, my fingers fidgeting in my lap. “I want to tell you someth

MAISIEDon was at the counter, focused on chopping green onions. Cooking wasn’t a task I assigned to him, he just enjoyed it. It was how he passed the time. Like father like son.My mind drifted back to my conversation with Jason in the car earlier. I hadn’t said a word. In a way, he was right… Don would uncover the truth sooner or later, whether we told him or not. Some things were simply inevitable.“Have you been with Miriam then your babysitter all day?” I asked, slipping into one of the chairs at the kitchen island.“Almost,” he replied, not looking up from his work. “Mr. Harding invited me to have lunch at his place.”I studied him, wondering what he really thought of Jason. Don was never one to judge people on the surface, but he was careful. Very careful about who he let in.“How do you find Jason?” I asked, treading carefully. “I mean… I think he’s a good person. What about you?”He paused for a moment as if weighing his words, then resumed chopping. “I appreciate that he tak

MAISIEI crossed the street. The cool night air brushed against my skin as I approached Jason’s house. Just as I raised my hand to knock, the door swung open.I froze with my fingers still suspended in the air.Jason grabbed me by the wrist before I could respond, pulled me inside, and swiftly shut the door behind us.My back pressed against the wood as he held me there, his grip firm yet familiar.My breath hitched. Not in fear, but in surprise.It took only seconds for the confusion to fade, replaced by something warmer. Nostalgia. Yearning.We had only been apart for a few hours, yet it had felt like an eternity.“You were waiting for me?” I asked barely above a whisper.His answer was a small nod, enough to make me smile. I loved his honesty, especially when it came to moments like this.I had come with a hundred things I wanted to talk about, thoughts that had been racing through my mind all evening. But now, standing here with him so close, every single one of them faded away.I

CH.146

MAISIEI closed my eyes, absorbing everything he wasn’t saying.Emotions, love, heartbeats… they were the things that reminded us we were still alive. Proof that even after pain, there was healing. That even after loss, there was something worth finding again.We lived through things we never wanted. We got things we never deserved. And we spent so much of our lives asking: did we truly need all that suffering just to learn? Or did we simply dream too much and forget that reality doesn’t know mercy?We spend more time living inside our heads than we ever did outside of them.We live life not just in length but in depth, enduring it with patience, silence, and quiet resilience. And when they told us to walk away from what hurt us, we found that pain had already settled deep within our hearts, refusing to be left behind.It wasn’t weakness.We simply reached a point where we had no energy left to fight. Our hearts had been emptied, our emotions stretched thin, yet we carried on.If some

CH.147

MAISIEJason sighed, pulling me until I rested on his chest. The warmth of his body seeped through my clothes, creating a cocoon of comfort I'd been craving all day."It's difficult for me to stay calm when I see the same patterns repeating themselves.” His voice carried a hint of frustration that made me want to smooth the worry lines from his forehead."There are so many things I need to whisper to you," he murmured while tracing idle patterns on my back. "Things I need to say before they slip away."His words transported me back to that night in his suite… the way he kissed me on his desk, the fire that burned between us.The memory still made my heart race, still brought color to my cheeks."Care for an oral exam, Principal?" I teased, borrowing his term.Jason’s lips curved into a slow, knowing smile, transforming his handsome features into something irresistible.The way his eyes crinkled at the corners never failed to make my breath catch."You’re using my own words against me

CH.148

MAISIEI jolted awake the next morning and my eyes flew to the clock on my nightstand. The glaring red numbers mocked me mercilessly, I was a full hour late for work."Not again!" I groaned, throwing back the covers.I decided to get a little more sleep after returning from Jason's house before dawn but I overslept.The cool morning air hit my skin, sending goosebumps racing across my arms.The emptiness of the house felt particularly acute. Don had already left for school with Jason before I'd even opened my eyes. He had told me this morning what he intended to do.The thought of them spending their mornings together twisted something inside me—a complicated knot of emotions I couldn't quite untangle.My morning routine collapsed into a frantic blur. No time for breakfast, barely enough for a hasty shower.I pulled clothes from my closet without much thought to coordination, my mind already racing through the excuses I'd need to offer my boss."Why didn't my alarm go off?" I muttered

CH.149

MAISIEThe drive home passed in a blur of anticipation. Once inside, I rushed through a shower, the hot water barely having time to warm my skin before I was out again, wrapped in a towel and attacking my hair with a straightener."What to wear, what to wear," I muttered, flinging open my closet doors. The contents seemed woefully inadequate for the occasion. Nothing felt right—too casual, too formal, too boring, too much.I grabbed my phone, dialing Miriam’s number. The call went straight to voicemail."Seriously, Miriam? The one time I actually need fashion advice!" I tossed the phone on my bed in frustration.After thirty minutes of indecision, I finally settled on an off-white sequined maxi dress with a daring mid-thigh slit. The fabric caught the light with every movement, creating a subtle shimmer effect that felt both elegant and alluring.I opted for a neutral lip color rather than my usual dark shade, wanting to project softness tonight. The golden heels waited by my dresser

CH.150

MAISIEThe sudden protectiveness in Jason’s gesture both intrigued and concerned me. His jaw tightened, and his hand moved toward the door handle as if he was ready to step out of the car.I could feel the tension radiating from him, sharp and electric as he prepared to leave.“Where are you going?” I reached out, grabbing his arm firmly. The thought of our perfect evening being derailed before it even began made my stomach knot with anxiety.“I just want to say hello to him.” His voice was low and controlled with his gaze flicking toward the car beside us.“No saying hi tonight,” I insisted, keeping my grip on his arm. “It’s our first date, and I don’t want anything or anyone spoiling your mood.”The traffic light turned green just as I finished speaking, and the cars around us began to move forward.Jason hesitated for a moment, his fingers lingering on the handle before he finally let go and returned his hand to the steering wheel.The moment of confrontation passed, but the tensio
