Athonia’s POV

Dinner had been over for a while, but the adults downstairs were still laughing and swapping business stories. Every now and then, someone would throw a teasing comment at Ethan and me, and I would force a laugh just to play along.

But what I really noticed was how quiet Maya and Jayden had been the whole time. They barely spoke.

Did it bother them? I hoped so. Honestly, I enjoyed it more than I should have.

I still had no clue what exactly Ethan was planning, but I was happy to let him take the lead. Whatever game he was playing, it was keeping me entertained, especially when it seemed to make Maya and Jayden so tense.

Now I was back in my room, lying on my bed with a book. Dad, Jayden, and Ethan were outside by the pool, drinks in hand. The house was finally quiet, and I was enjoying the break from all the noise when…

Knock. Knock.

"Who is it?" I called, placing my book down.

"Maya."

Perfect. Exactly what I needed right now.

"What do you want?" I asked, already feeling

  • A One Night Stand That Felt Like Revenge   My heart nearly leapt out of my chest in panic.

    Serene’s povThe alarm buzzed at six, and I woke with a jolt. My face felt strange, rough in a way it never had before. When my fingers brushed my cheek, I felt short, scratchy stubble. For a moment I stared blankly at the mirror across the room, confused, until the memory of last night came rushing back.“Oh no,” I muttered under my breath. “I actually went through with it.”I hurried to the bathroom and switched on the light. The reflection staring back did not look like me. My brows were thicker, my lips seemed thinner, and the shading along my jaw made my cheekbones look more defined. Only my blue eyes gave me away.Aveline had outdone herself.We had spent hours the night before turning Serene Carrow into someone entirely new. She had taught me how to stand differently, how to walk with less sway, how to rest my voice lower without straining it. She showed me how to wear a compression vest that flattened my chest, how to rest my weight on my heels, and how to let my gestures feel

  • A One Night Stand That Felt Like Revenge   Today is the day

    Serene’s povMy weekend could not have gone any worse. I spent most of it replaying every word that so-called love expert had said while drowning my frustration in ice cream and romantic movies that only made me feel even more pathetic.By Monday morning, I decided I had had enough of feeling miserable.“Today is the day,” I told my reflection as I applied my lipstick carefully. “No more watching from the sidelines.”I picked my best outfit, a navy pencil skirt that hugged my hips, a crisp white blouse, and the red heels that always gave me a sense of power. If I was finally going to speak to Kaelon Draven, I needed every bit of confidence I could find.Dr. Lysander’s words kept running through my mind, and every time they did, I rolled my eyes. What did he know? Some smug man pretending to understand love, telling me who I should or should not want. What a fraud.“Watch me prove you wrong,” I told my reflection, pretending it was his irritating face staring back.When I got to the of

    When he offered his hand, I reached out before thinking, and the warmth of his touch almost made my knees buckle.“Hi,” I managed, my voice uneven as my brain scrambled for normal words.He released my hand and gave a polite smile. “Please, take a seat. Tell me what brings you here.”I tried to sit, but a sudden ache ran through my body, forcing me to shift until I found a position that did not hurt as much. I must have looked ridiculous, half-perched on the chair like someone afraid to move.“Are you alright, Ms. Carrow?” he asked, his green eyes studying me with quiet interest. The look made my face heat even more. “You seem to be uncomfortable.”“I am fine,” I replied too fast, crossing my legs, then changing my mind when that only made it worse. “Just a small muscle strain from the concert last night.”He smiled again, but this time there was a glint in his eyes that made my skin tingle. “Concerts can be very... memorable.”Something in the way he said it sent a shiver down my spi

    Dante’s POVI walked up and down the hospital hallway, trying to steady my breathing. It was not because I had just become a father. That part was incredible. My daughter was beautiful, calm, and more perfect than anything I had ever seen. I felt a deep pride in Angela. She handled everything with strength, and seeing her hold Skylar made something heavy and warm move inside my chest. I loved her more than I ever thought possible.“Dante, son, take a moment. You will make yourself lightheaded,” Mr. Ethan said quietly.“I know. I am trying. I just keep thinking… what if it does not go the way I planned? What if she does not want this?” My voice came out uneven as I pushed my hands through my hair.“It will be fine. I am sure of it,” he said and placed his hand on my shoulder.I stopped walking and pulled in a long breath before nodding. He gave me a small smile. I had never felt this level of nervousness before. I could only hope that everything turned out the way I needed it to.“Are

  • A One Night Stand That Felt Like Revenge   And now, I would not trade it for anything.

    Angela’s POVI still could not fully believe she was here with us. Our daughter had finally arrived. Skylar Faith Connors. She came into the world at a healthy 7.2 pounds, with soft dark hair like Dante’s and bright blue eyes that seemed far too aware for a newborn. She was perfect in every way. The long labour and the stitches afterward felt like nothing compared to seeing her for the first time.“She is perfect,” I breathed out, tears slipping down my face as I looked at the tiny girl in my arms.“She really is. Just like her mother. I am so proud of you,” Dante said as he stroked Skylar’s cheek, then leaned down to kiss the top of my head. His own tears were falling now.“I think she looks like you,” I said, smiling up at him.“She has your eyes. You did so well. How are you feeling?” he asked.“I am tired and my body hurts, but she was worth everything. I already love her more than anything,” I murmured while letting my fingers move along her tiny hand.“I love her too. And seeing
