A Grandfather's Joy: A Father's Remorse

As the evening wore on, Edith Royale and her husband, Adrian Royale, approached Elona with pleading eyes. "Dear, doctor Fu Lona, please," Edith begged, "may we have some time with our grandbabies? We promise to cherish every moment."Elona's expression softened, and she nodded humbly. "Of course, Madam Royale. I wouldn't deny you that. And please just call me Elona." The Royale couple exchanged a grateful glance, and Edith enveloped the triplets in a warm hug. "We'll take good care of them, Elona. I promise."The warm rays of the setting sun bathed the lush gardens of the hotel in golden light. Edith and Senior Royale were seated on a luxurious outdoor lounge, completely enraptured by the triplets. Allie, always the bold one, was happily describing her recent adventures, while Arlyle and Artie showed off their new toys. Their laughter filled the air, a sound so pure and joyful it brought tears to Edith’s eyes.“Elona,” Edith said softly, her voice filled with emotion. “Thank you. Tha

Boundaries And Bridges

The morning sun poured through the tall windows of the hotel’s private dining room, bathing the space in a warm glow. The triplets sat at a long table, their voices filled with excitement as they showed their grandparents their gifts. Edith, Adrian and Senior Royale, captivated by the children, engaged them with genuine interest, laughter punctuating the air.Elona stood by the window, a steaming cup of tea in her hands, watching the scene unfold. Despite herself, a flicker of warmth coursed through her. The children looked happy, truly happy, and she couldn’t deny them this connection.“Thinking of leaving again?”Elona turned at the sound of Alaric’s voice. He stood a few steps away, hands in his pockets, his usual commanding presence softened by something more vulnerable.“I haven’t decided yet,” she replied coolly, her gaze returning to the children. He took a hesitant step closer. “Elona, I—" She cut him off, her tone sharp. “Don’t, Alaric. Don’t start with your apologies again.

Rebuilding Bridges

The days following the triplets’ birthday celebration were filled with cautious interactions and strained silences. Edith and Senior Royale reveled in their newfound roles as doting grandparents, while Julio spent his time bonding with his daughter and grandchildren, his presence becoming a source of quiet strength for Elona.Alaric, however, found himself walking on eggshells. Elona’s cold shoulder was unrelenting, and though her sharp words stung, he welcomed them as his penance.One morning, he found her in the hotel garden, pruning roses in serene concentration. She looked ethereal, the morning sun casting a golden glow over her. Gathering his courage, Alaric approached her cautiously.“Elona.”She glanced at him, her gaze impassive. “What do you want, Alaric?”“To talk.” He gestured to the bench nearby. “Please.”After a moment’s hesitation, she nodded, wiping her hands on her apron before taking a seat.“I know words alone mean little to you,” he began, his tone steady. “But I n

Her True Lineage

Alaric nodded and went to his room to rest. He called his assistant and told him to ensure that the team got medical attention as well as bring a doctor to his room. Everything was done without Elona's knowledge. Alaric was just going to protect her from the shadows without claiming credit.Alaric woke up late the following day, his body not aching as much. Luckily he had no bruises on the face or he would have not known how to explain it to his inquisitive triplets. They were way too intelligent and assertive for four years olds. The afternoon sun cast a golden hue over the lavish garden terrace where the triplets played with their new gifts, their laughter ringing out like music. Elona stood at the edge of the terrace, her expression guarded. Alaric lingered a few steps away, watching her with a mixture of longing and regret, but he dared not approach her again. Not yet.Julio sat at a nearby table, quietly observing his daughter. She was a perfect blend of Esmeralda’s grace and hi

Silent Solace

Elona wandered through the lush garden, her heart heavy with the weight of Julio’s revelations. The air was fragrant with blooming flowers, but the beauty of the surroundings did little to soothe her turmoil. Her mother was falsely accused and banished. Her father, framed and imprisoned. Their lives torn apart by the ambitions of others, leaving Elona to grow up in the shadow of a broken legacy.She stopped by a quiet fountain, the gentle trickle of water the only sound in the stillness. Wrapping her arms around herself, she stared at her reflection in the rippling surface. How much more of my life has been shaped by lies? she wondered, the pain of her mother’s suffering echoing through her.Footsteps approached softly behind her, and Elona tensed. Turning, she found Alaric standing a few steps away, his gaze tender but hesitant. He didn’t say anything, merely studying her as if trying to gauge her mood.“What do you want, Alaric?” she asked, her tone sharper than intended. He hesita

Proving His Worth

Alaric returned to the hotel suite late that night, his mind heavy with Elona’s words. He couldn’t stop replaying the pain in her voice, the raw betrayal etched into her every expression. She had every right to keep her walls up, but he was determined to earn her trust back, even if it took a lifetime.The next morning, Alaric gathered his team in the private lounge of the hotel. Jimmy, his ever-loyal assistant, and several of his most trusted men sat around the table, waiting for their orders.“I need everything we can find on Julio Fernandez,” Alaric began, his tone commanding. “His life, his interests, his history with Esmeralda. If Elona is going to trust me, I need to show her I care about her family, not just her.”Jimmy nodded, already typing notes on his tablet. “Understood, sir. And the triplets? Should we—” Alaric cut him off with a rare, soft smile. “I’ll handle them personally. They’re my children, Jimmy. They deserve to know me, and I need to show Elona that I’ll be there

Emotions Stirred

The garden fell into a comfortable silence, the kind that didn’t demand words. Elona and Alaric sat side by side, each lost in their thoughts. The soft gurgle of the fountain and the rustle of leaves in the evening breeze provided a gentle backdrop, soothing yet bittersweet.Elona’s gaze drifted to the vibrant flowers blooming around them, but her thoughts were far from the present. She wondered what her life would have been like if that young man had kept his promise all those years ago. Would I still have found my way to Master Fu?Her chest tightened at the thought. The apothecary had been her salvation. When she’d arrived at his door, her burns were raw, her face disfigured, and she had no hope of affording medical treatment. Even if a hospital had taken her in, the surgeries she would have needed were far beyond her means.But Master Fu’s traditional remedies had worked miracles. His salves and herbal infusions had not only healed her scars but restored her skin to a radiant beau

A Dinner Date

The garden was now bathed in moonlight, the cool air carrying a serene calm. Alaric hesitated for a moment before asking softly, “Elona, would you like to grab something to eat?”Elona’s first instinct was to refuse. “I should check on the kids,” she said firmly, though there was a note of hesitation in her voice.Before she could say more, Victor appeared from the shadows, bowing slightly. “The triplets are staying the night with their grandparents,” he said smoothly, his tone leaving no room for argument. Elona blinked, caught off guard. “Wait, what? Since when?”Victor glanced meaningfully toward Master Fu, who was standing a short distance away, his hands folded behind him. The wise old man gave Elona an almost imperceptible nod, his expression calm yet knowing. Elona narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously.Master Fu’s voice, steady and sage-like, reached her ears. “The little ones are safe and happy. You’ve done enough for tonight, my dear. Perhaps you should take some time for yo

Heartfelt Remorse

Jimmy burst into the room with the supplies, relief written across his face. “I’ve got everything you asked for,” he said, placing the items on the table. Elona nodded curtly and got to work, her hands moving with practiced precision as she cleaned and tended to the wound. Her expression remained calm, but the fire in her eyes hinted at her growing frustration. “Why would you let this get so bad, Alaric?” she finally asked, her voice tight. “You’re smarter than this. You know better.” Alaric looked away, his jaw tightening, but before he could answer, Jimmy let out a sharp sigh. “You want to know why?” Jimmy said, stepping forward. He ignored the warning look Alaric shot him and continued, his tone edged with exasperation. “Because this man hasn’t cared about himself since the day he woke up and realized you were gone!” “Jimmy, don’t,” Alaric said, his voice low but firm. “No,” Jimmy shot back. “She deserves to know.” He turned to Elona, his gaze steady and his voice softer n

Healing Touch

Alaric sat slumped in the passenger seat of the SUV, his face pale but glowing faintly with satisfaction. Elona, seated beside him, crossed her arms, her expression a mix of frustration and worry. Jimmy was driving, though he kept glancing at the rearview mirror nervously, gauging the tension between the two.“You need bedrest and proper care, Alaric,” Elona said, her voice firm. “I can’t just let you continue like this.” Alaric exhaled slowly, closing his eyes for a moment before replying, “I’m not going back to the hotel.”“Then where?” she asked, exasperated. “I have a villa here in Country F,” he said simply, his voice low but resolute. “The kids don’t need to see me like this, not looking this… haggard.” Before Elona could argue further, Jimmy chimed in, “Sir, I can...”“No,” Elona cut him off sharply. “Jimmy, carry him. We’ll settle this when we get there.” Jimmy hesitated, his loyalty torn between his boss and Elona’s authoritative tone. “Uh…”“Jimmy,” Alaric said, his voice ga
