They were tending to the roses, chatting softly.He couldn't quite make out what Sherah was saying, but her head was lowered, making him wonder if his grandmother was scolding her. However, that thought quickly disappeared when he saw his grandmother tuck a freshly picked rose behind Sherah’s ear with a warm smile. Then, he heard Sherah’s soft, trembling voice, "Grandma, you and Ethan are the kindest people I have ever met. If this is a dream, I hope I never wake up."Mrs. Farwell's face softened, her eyes glistening and it solidified her stance to push Ethan and Sherah together. "A lovely soul like this is what my grandson nee

CHAPTER 25 - Eliot's Gift

After more than 24 hours on the plane, Ethan had arrived in Perth, Australia.He set his suitcase down in his hotel room, rolling his shoulders as exhaustion settled in. The long flight had done little to clear his mind, and as he unzipped his luggage, he let out a quiet sigh. He pulled out his neatly folded suits, crisp shirts, and underwear—everything seemed to be in place.Until he reached for his scarves.His brows furrowed. They weren’t there. The maid must have forgotten to pack them. Annoyed, he ran a hand through his hair, but the frustration quickly turned into something else—something heavier. It wasn’t just the scarves. He felt that he had forgotten something much more important but was unsure what it was. A strange unease settled in his chest, gnawing at him, though he couldn’t quite place it. The air in the room felt different, colder, emptier. He sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the open suitcase as if it held the answer.Then, his phone buzzed.Ethan glanced a

CHAPTER 26 - Memory of Pain, Jealousy, and Betrayal.

In Perth, AustraliaEthan’s hand trembled as he stared at his phone, his reflection barely visible against the dark screen.His jaw clenched in frustration as Eliot’s soft, gentle voice replayed in his mind.~Smile for me, birthday girl.~A bitter scoff left his lips. "It’s already 1 in the morning in New York. Why are they still together?" He questioned while thinking of something obscene and the idea left a sour taste in his mouth. He crossed his arms, his chest tightening at the realization. "So that’s why she didn’t even bother to check on me. Not even a simple ‘Did you arrive safely in Australia?’ Nothing. She wasn’t even mad that I had forgotten to greet her. Was it because she no longer cared?"He exhaled sharply, gripping the phone tighter. “She’s too busy celebrating… with the doctor.” His voice was laced with venom, his teeth gritting as his frustration boiled over.With a deep frown, he sent a message to Brooke. Find out everything you can about Eliot."I should have done

CHAPTER 27 - The Blaming Game

Sherah’s offer for Harlene to stay for dessert lingered in the air, thickening the already tense atmosphere with each passing second.Instead of relief, Harlene felt like she had been slap in the face."I called her a whore, yet instead of lashing out, she's being kind to me?" she thought while stealing a glance at Eliot. His gaze wasn’t filled with judgment or anger but concern—concern for Sherah.It only made Harlene angrier.Without thinking, she stormed forward, snatched Eliot’s cup of hot coffee, and hurled it at Sherah before turning on her heels and bolting from the restaurant, tears blurring her vision.Sherah gasped as the scalding liquid drenched her clothes, a sharp sting spreading across her skin.Eliot reacted instantly, grabbing a handful of napkins and gently dabbing at her shirt. As he wiped, his eyes widened in alarm at the redness forming on her skin.“You got burned,” he murmured, his brows drawing together in concern. “We need to go to the emergency room and get som

He needed space—from Sophia, from everything.His mind was a storm of frustration and confusion. Who deserved his anger and blame? His grandmother, for meddling in his life? Or the woman he had waited for, only for her to leave him behind?A sharp ping interrupted his thoughts.

The glitz, the gossip, the glamour—it was her element. But for Ethan, it was suffocating.The night dragged on longer than Ethan had the patience for.With that he started drinking, savoring the burn of alcohol as it slid down his throat. A small conversation sparked with the bartender—just casual talk about his drink, and different types of liquor, nothing forced or superficial. It was the most normal, unpretentious exchange he had all night.At first, just to take the edge off. A sip of whiskey here, a glass of scotch there.

Her lack of concern towards him.The way she blocked him in all possible means of c

He had been away for weeks, but now that he was back, he wasn’t wasting any time.Inside, Madam Rosalie Farwell sat in her favorite sunroom, a book resting on her lap, her silver hair perfectly styled, her expression unreadable.
