A Heart No Longer Waiting Chapter 23
For the first time, Mateo—who used to shield Helen from the slightest inconvenience—just stood there. Silent. Watching. No defense.Helen didn't get it.How could everything change just because they saw Yara once?Before she could make sense of it, the boat drifted farther from Evermeet Isle.***Back on the island, once security had cleared out the unwelcome guests, they boarded their own small boat and left.And as the crowd thinned, one lone figure remained.Steven."Yara," he called out. "Can I come up?"Liam tensed instantly. He knew who this guy was—Steven had visited once before. Yara hadn't exactly welcomed him with open arms, but compared to the disaster that just left, she'd been almost... civil. And that was enough to put Liam on edge.Too many people had been showing up lately, trying to worm their way back into her life. He wasn't about to let anyone take her from him.Yara noticed the way his shoulders tightened and laughed softly. Her fingers traced his palm,

After dealing with Mateo, Yara finally turned to Benjamin, Milada, and Helen. She opened her mouth like she was about to say something—then just sighed.Biologically, they were her family. But honestly? She didn't have the energy to waste on them. Not because they didn't deserve it, but because it wasn't worth it.They'd spent their whole lives only hearing what they wanted to hear. Nothing she said now would change that."Dad. Mom." Her voice was calm. Too calm. "This is the last time I'll call you that. You never saw me as your daughter anyway, so let's make it official. From now on, just pretend you only ever had one child—Helen."She said it like it was nothing, like she was just making casual conversation, but the weight of it hit like a punch.Benjamin's face twisted. "You—! You ungrateful—!" His hand shook as he pointed at her, but the words died in his throat.Milada? She just stood there, frozen. Like she couldn't believe the quiet, obedient daughter they'd ignored for y

The room went dead silent. No one could believe what they'd just heard.Mateo, especially, looked like he had been struck by lightning. His grip on Milada loosened as he stumbled forward, reaching for Yara's hand.Before he could touch her—SMACK.Timothée swatted his hand away, eyes cold. "Say what you need to say, but keep your hands to yourself."He had zero patience for these people. They'd abandoned Yara, and now they had the audacity to show up acting like parents? From the second they walked in, had they even said one kind word to her?And this Mateo guy—acting all heartbroken, pretending he had feelings for her? Please. He hadn't even bothered to learn about her past before dragging these so-called parents into her life. And now he had the nerve to stand here saying, 'It's been a long time?'What a joke.Timothée didn't hold back, slapping Mateo's wrist hard enough to leave it stinging.Mateo clenched his jaw, barely swallowing a pained hiss. But no matter how much his

Mateo felt completely blindsided. He'd brought Benjamin and Milada here thinking, 'It's been years—surely they could at least catch up.' Yeah, their relationship had never been great, but family was family, right? Parents and kids didn't hold grudges forever. They just needed to sit down and talk.On the way over, he had even warned them—stay calm, don't be confrontational, just talk. They had all agreed. Benjamin, Milada, Helen.And yet, the second they stepped in, it all went to hell.But deep down, Mateo knew—this was on him.So he swallowed his frustration, took a breath, and finally said, "Yara... it's been a long time."Five years. Five years of thinking about her every single day, imagining this moment over and over. So many failed attempts, so much fear that he'd never see her again.And now, here she was.He had a million things to say—but no idea where to start.But Yara? She wasn't interested."Mateo Lopez, you brought them here just to cause trouble for me?" she as

Mateo barely had time to stop them before Helen jumped in, all fake concern. "Yara, I know you're mad at me, but come on—you can't just ignore Mom and Dad! They've been worried sick. Just come home, okay?"Seeing Yara's so-called family pop off the second they showed up, Liam—usually the chill one—just scoffed. "Who let the strays out? Wrong house to bark at."He shifted, blocking Mateo's view inside. Before anyone could snap back, he added, "This is Yara's island. You're trespassing. And this isn't Novastra—one wrong move, and you might just end up as shark food."His icy stare sent a chill through them.For a second, fear flashed in their eyes.Then—anger."Who the hell do you think—"Mateo had had enough. Furious, he lunged forward, ready to fire back, but—SLAM.The door shut in his face.Mid-step, Mateo ate dust—literally.They all just stood there, stunned. They hadn't even seen Yara yet, and they were already tossed out.***Inside, Yara had heard everything.Benja
A Heart No Longer Waiting Chapter 18
Mateo didn't show up solo.Benjamin, Milada, and Helen were right there with him.The Medici family hadn't had it easy these past few years.After walking away from his family's business, Steven built his own empire—and his first move? Crushing the Medicis in the market.Their whole game was power marriages, but Helen? Too spoiled to play along. When Steven dumped her, she threw tantrums like clockwork.Benjamin and Milada babied her too much to shove her into a business deal, even if it could've saved them.And their other daughter, Yara? Both engagements? Total disasters.Then she straight-up disappeared. Gone. No leads, no trace. If Mateo hadn't hunted her down, they'd still be clueless.And now?Now that they'd found her, they had plenty to say to their "disobedient" daughter.Especially after hearing she was living it up on some private island—without lifting a finger to help her own family.The second they stepped onto the boat, their faces were already tight with irri
