“I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU FIRED ME!” she screeched, looking like she’d just lost a leading role on Love & Hip Hop. “I’M THE BEST EMPLOYEE YOU EVER HAD, YOU STUCK-UP BITCHES!”
Then boom, she picked up her laptop and chucked it across the room like she was auditioning for the shot put in the Olympics.
Trevor gasped. “Not the MacBook!”
“I’M NOT LEAVING! YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO DRAG ME OUTTA THIS MUTHAFUCKA!” she screamed while kicking over her filing cabinet and knocking the shared Keurig onto the floor. The damn machine sputtered its last brew.....

Chapter: Epilogue 3Sienna’s POVFour months later.I stand in the living room rocking my big baby boy against my chest, staring down at Carter like he’s some kind of miracle I still haven’t wrapped my mind around. He’s only four months old, but he’s solid, with thick thighs, strong little legs already trying to stand, a head full of soft curls that already form a tiny afro. His eyes are bright, always alert, like he’s studying everything and everyone around him.Grandma Mabel can barely lift him anymore. Every time she does, she grunts, then laughs, then tells him he needs to slow down on the milk. Carter just grins at her like he knows he’s winning.I smile, but my stomach twists.Because I’m holding onto a secret that’s about to blow Knox’s entire world apart.The house has been nonstop chaos lately, with wedding planning chaos. People in and out. Wedding rings tried on. Dresses clipped and unclipped. Cake tastings that all blur together. Flowers and seating charts. Six months out and already I feel

Chapter: Epilogue 2Knox’s POVAfter the initial shock wears off, the very real, very loud realization that I did not have a baby girl but instead produced a whole grown infant of a big healthy boy, I finally start to breathe again.I mean… this kid didn’t come out newborn, sized. No. This baby skipped that stage entirely. He’s not fitting into newborn clothes. He’s not even pretending. He’s going straight into three to six month outfits like he’s late for something.I look over at Sienna, tears streaming down her face as she rubs his tiny back, whispering to him like she’s known him forever. The doctor clears his throat and says, “Alright, Dad, come on over and cut the umbilical cord.”And I just stand there.Frozen.Because what the fuck just happened?Where is my baby girl?My mind has been set on pink blankets, bows, and daddy daughter tea parties. I had a whole future planned. And now I’m standing here staring at my very handsome, very large son wondering how fast my entire life just shifted.I mean

Chapter: Chapter 175 Realistically Messed UpKnox’s POV As the last of the stragglers finally start drifting toward their cars, the energy in the house shifts. The music is lower. The laughter is softer. That post party quiet starts to creep in, you know the kind that settles into the walls once everyone’s gone.That’s when I notice my sister Kira walking back into the house, with one baby strapped tightly to her chest.I follow her inside without saying anything at first, just watching her body language. She moves slower than usual, shoulders tense, steps distracted. She heads straight toward the first-floor nursery, and I trail behind her, my boots barely making a sound on the floor.She stops abruptly, staring down at the crib like she’s trying to solve a problem that won’t give her an answer.“Hey,” I say gently. “Kira… you okay?”She jumps and whips around so fast she almost loses her balance.“Shit, Knox, you scared me.”I raise an eyebrow. “You’re in my house. But again, are you okay?”She exhales hard, the kind of bre

Chapter: Chapter 174 The Wrap UpSienna’s POV I let out a slow, steady sigh as the party starts to wine down, the night settling in heavy and quiet over this wintry Chicago evening. The lights outside glow softer now, the air colder, sharper. I can feel it in my bones, and in my feet.I start walking around, needing to move, needing to breathe.What Jennifer tried to pull earlier is still sitting with me, burning low in my chest. I didn’t want to flip out on anyone, plus, I didn’t want people seeing that side of me especially not my pregnant bad side. Hormones plus rage is a dangerous mix, and I worked too damn hard to keep this day about love.After dancing with Keisha and Maya for a while, I finally tap out.“Alright, girls,” I say, pressing my hand to my lower back, “I need a break. This baby is heavy.”They both laugh.“Well,” Keisha says, grinning, “I’m not at that stage yet, but I’ll be there soon.”I hug her. “Yeah. You will.”We drift over toward Kole, who looks excited but stressed at the same time, that f

She might sell it… or she might keep it as an investment property.”Stephen lets out a low chuckle, sipping his drink. “That house is too nice to just let go. I don’t see her getting rid of it.”He pauses, then smirks. “I’ll talk to sis. I’m making decent money right now anyway. Me and Carmen are doing our thing anyway by staying together.”He exhales slowly. “And Keisha? Well she barely there. When I do see her, she’s already leaving. So technically… it’s really me and Carmen’s place. We can just keep paying rent to sis.”I laugh under my breath. “Yeah, man. I mean, it’s a solid spot. A real three story condo style home. Not one of those fake-ass condos that are basically just apartments.”Stephen nods. “Yeah, she said

I grab a plate immediately because, let’s be real, what’s the best way to please a pregnant woman?Food.I walk over, wrap my arms around him, and give him a kiss on the cheek.“Thank you,” I mumble, already eyeing the food.He chuckles and hands me a plate without even asking.I giggle and head to the table, sitting down as Zade follows right behind me like he always does. Terrence, who should honestly be back at the office, walks in right after and gets handed a huge plate.I just shake my head.Of course.He sits down with us, already digging in, while Bennett stays up front. I can feel it, he’s off. Probably still upset.I glance at Zade as I take a bite.“So… we’re calling Lucas, right? About Brittany and Bradley’s son?”Zade nods, chewing. “Yeah.

This is a mess.” She pauses, then looks up at me. “Do you think you can figure out who Brittany’s son is? Maybe we could talk to him?”I exhale slowly, rubbing my thumb over her knuckles.“I don’t know if I wanna open that can of worms,” I admit. “What if he doesn’t even know Brittany is his mother?”She tilts her head, thinking. “What if we don’t tell him? What if we just meet him… get a feel for him? See if there’s any resemblance to Daisy?”I pause, considering it this time.“You know what… maybe,” I say finally. “We’ll do a little digging first. If he’s around our age, or Lucas’s, there’s a good chance we’ve crossed paths. Hell, Lucas might already know him.”She nod

Or… she became your nanny.”Her voice trembles, but she keeps going.“She was in her early twenties when we hired her. We had an opening for a maid at the time, this was when I was pregnant with you, Lucas. She did a really good job… really good.”She pauses, trying to steady herself.“As time went on, Lucas took a liking to her. This was after you were born of course, Lucas. She stayed on, and we talked all the time. She became… a friend.”I glance at Lucas briefly, then back at her.“Lucas already had a nanny, Talia,” my mom continues. “She had her hands full with him, he was three when I got pregnant again. When I had Breanna, Rosa stepped in more. She talked about helping her family, her sisters… said she was finally making decent money.”My mom exhales shakily.“She had a boyfriend too.

The woman behind the glass looks up at us.“Can I help you?”“Hi, my name is Lucas Blackwood. I’m here to meet with Detective Torres.”She nods. “Okay, go ahead and have a seat, please.”“Thank you.”Emily and I sit down, and not even a minute later, I see my father and mother walking in.I stand up immediately.“Hey, Dad.”We do a quick bro son hug, and then I hug my mom and kiss her on the cheek.

I still don’t understand how they were able to kidnap you when you were a toddler.”I shrugged. “Shit, I don’t know, Zade. Maybe… hopefully we’ll figure it out today. And if we don’t… then who knows.”He sighed and pulled me closer.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Bennett watching. Watching too long.I exhaled slowly. “Well, what I am going to do is take a long shower and get ready. Since I won’t be going to work today. And Zade, you should probably go home and change.”He looked at me like I’d lost my mind. “Uh, no I’m not.

Chapter: Final ChapterFive Years LaterThird-Person POVFive years later, she sighed as she packed up all five of their children for the birthday party.Yes, all five.After the triplets, they were done. Completely done. She had told Jalen that lovingly and firmly: they had started having babies in their thirties, and they were finishing in their thirties. That was that.Now the triplets were officially five years old. Elliot was six, turning seven. Levi was eight, turning nine. And this year, for the first time, every single one of them would be in all-day school.Thank you, God.She stood in the bedroom doorway while Jalen walked in and said, with mock seriousness, “Okay, everyone is dressed. They color-coded everything the way you like. The twins insisted on their skirts. Their brother chose shorts. All plaid. Coordinated to death.”She exhaled slowly. “Jalen, you know how to dress our children. I don’t see the problem.”“Let’s just look at them,” he said, raising his voice. “Abigail! Arthur! Ariah! Le

The baby hadn’t dropped, hadn’t budged, hadn’t given even the smallest hint of an exit strategy out of her body.She stopped in the hallway, one hand pressed to her lower back, the other cradling her rounded belly.“Why don’t you want to come out?” she muttered. “I know this world is messy, but I need my body back, baby.”From the living room, her mother burst out laughing.“What in the hell do you have on, girl?”Aria looked down at the oversized floral gown. “This is what a stylist for older women would call a moo-moo.”Lucy cackled. “Not a moo-moo!”“Yes a fucking ugly ass moo-moo.

Schools of exotic fish and graceful rays drifted through the water behind transparent walls, creating a dreamlike atmosphere as guests sipped champagne and admired the views. A live quartet played mellow renditions of love songs while servers in crisp white passed silver trays laden with hors d'oeuvres.The newlyweds were introduced to raucous applause. Sadé and Adamo entered hand in hand, glowing beneath a delicate arch of flowers arranged behind their private sweetheart table. The backdrop was an explosion of ivory roses, coral peonies, and lavender orchids that smelled like a midsummer dream. The couple paused for a kiss, drawing cheers from the crowd before taking their seats together. Though the table was just for two, their peace was constantly interrupted, in the best way.Daisy, still wearing her flower crown, ran ove

Chapter: Epilogue 2 The Wedding The Shedd Aquarium sparkled in the late afternoon sun, casting shimmering waves of light through its glass walls as the wedding guests found their seats. The city skyline framed the horizon, but inside, time felt suspended. This was a celebration of love, reborn, and family redefined.Sadé stood poised behind a veil of coral-colored silk, her heart steady, her breath calm. She could hear the rustle of guests and the subtle soundtrack of strings drifting over the aquatic ambiance. From the glowing jellyfish behind glass to the quiet bubbling of tanks filled with vibrant sea life, the setting was almost ethereal.Daisy, the flower girl, toddled out first, scattering soft white petals across the mosaic-tiled path. Her curls bounced as she walked, her tiny seafoam-green dress fluttering. Behind her came Trinity and Kamari, glowing with pride as junior bridesmaids, their dresses, a warm blush that caught the light with every movement.

Chapter: Epilogue 1 Twins Part Deux Birthday PartyTwo years had passed in the blink of an eye. May had arrived, bringing with it a warm breeze and the laughter of children as the backyard of Adamo and Sade’s newly expanded home transformed into a carnival. The scent of buttery popcorn and cotton candy filled the air, mixing with the distant sound of a clown’s horn honking as kids ran between booths, playing ring toss and bobbing for apples. This was a celebration for Daisy and Dominic, who were officially turning two, and no expense had been spared.Contrary to popular belief, Marco had changed. The firecracker temper had settled into a slow burn, and the reckless decisions of his youth had been replaced with an earnest desire to be present for his children. Especially for Marco Jr., who had just entered junior high, and fifth grade was the start, and Marco was determined to be the father his son needed at such a critical time.

The dementia medication she and Adamo had invested in had proven to be a groundbreaking success. The residuals had started coming in, and they weren’t just comfortable, they were thriving. Each month, deposits of over $35,000 landed in their accounts, ensuring that financial worries would never be a concern.The twins were now five weeks old, born at healthy weights, Daisy at 7lbs 1oz, 19.5 inches long, and Dominic at 6lbs 7oz, 18.9 inches long. It was rare for the girl to be the bigger twin, but Daisy had come into the world determined to lead.

The city, blanketed in its usual winter stillness, felt quieter than usual, the cold holding everything in place.“Dom, are you nervous?” Sade asked, her voice calm, yet heavy with something unspoken.Dom gripped her hand as he steered through the snowy streets, sparing her a glance before refocusing on the road. “Not nervous,” he admitted, his voice steady but tinged with concern. “Just worried about you and our babies. I want you to be okay. I want to take care of you. The doctor said stress can cause complications, and this pregnancy has been smooth so far, and I want to keep it that way.”She exhaled, her breath fogging the window beside her. “I know.”A red light forced them to stop. Without hesitation, Dom leaned over and kissed her. She kissed him back, allowing the warmth of his lips
