NYLA

The words barely left his lips when his fingers wrapped around my wrists. It happened so fast I barely registered the movement until I felt the warmth of his palms and the force of his pull. My body moved forward, heels scraping lightly against the floor as he drew me closer.

“Just listen to me, you don't have to claim to be tough. You're still that girl I decided to marry. Let's start over,” he said, his voice low.

The proximity stole the air from my lungs. I could smell his cologne, that

  • After He Let Me Fall    Chapter 177: EPILOGUE

    THREE YEARS LATER.Three years have passed since that long, intense day in the hospital when Julian and Sophia entered our world screaming and perfect.I stand barefoot on the warm sand of our private island, the gentle waves brushing against my ankles. The sun is beginning its slow descent, casting a golden-pink glow across everything. Sophia’s laughter rings out as she runs ahead, her dark curls bouncing wildly with every step. Julian chases after her, determined not to let his sister win their endless game of collecting shells."Mama! Look what I found!" Sophia shouts, holding up a smooth white shell in her tiny hands.I crouch down as she runs to me, taking the shell and examining it with the seriousness it deserves. "This one is beautiful, my love. You have the best eye on the whole island."Julian arrives seconds later, out of breath but proud. "Mine is bigger, Mama! Daddy, look!"Kael walks up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder. He re

    NYLATWO MONTHS LATER I gripped Kael’s hand tightly as another contraction hit, the pain sharp and rolling through my body. The hospital room felt both too bright and too small. Monitors beeped steadily around us. I had been in labor for fourteen hours, and the twins were finally ready to come."You are doing so well," Kael said, wiping my forehead with a cool cloth. "Just breathe through it. I am right here. We are almost at the end."The doctor checked again. "It is time to push, Nyla. The first one is coming fast."I pushed with everything I had, squeezing Kael’s hand until my knuckles turned white. He kept talking to me, low and steady. "That is it. You are so strong. One more big push."Minutes later, the first cry filled the room. A boy. They placed him on my chest for a moment, tiny and perfect, before the next wave hit."Here comes the second one," the doctor announced. "Keep going, you are doing incredible."I pushed again, exhaustion mixing with my screams. Kael never let

    NYLA*I cannot wait for you to get home.*I sent the message and paced the living room again, my hand resting on my stomach. The doctor’s words kept repeating in my head. Twins.....Two babies. I had spent the entire afternoon trying to find the right way to tell Kael. Now my heart would not slow down.The front door opened. Kael stepped inside, removing his jacket. His eyes found me right away."You look like you have news," he said, setting his things down. "What happened at the appointment today?"I walked straight to him and took both his hands in mine. "I went to the doctor. I wanted to tell you face to face, not over the phone."He searched my eyes. "Tell me."I smiled, unable to hold it in any longer. "We are having twins, Kael. The doctor showed me both heartbeats today."He stood completely still. Then he lifted me off the ground, arms wrapping tight around my waist as he spun me once. His mouth crashed into mine in a deep, joyful kiss."Twins?" he repeated against my lips, la

    NYLA POVThe white hospital lights above welcomed meMy legs moved one after the other, exhaustion sat heavy in my eyesI slowed down my pace at the reception desk. The nurse looked up with a tired voice.“Patient name?” she asked without me speaking “Marisol,” I replied. My hands tightened beside meIf it wasn’t for Mia and Evan’s mess, Marisol wouldn’t be hurt. The thought stung again, since the accidentThe nurse checked her screen and nodded. “Vip. She’s ready to go”I walked down the clean hallway hurriedly, my shoes clicking softly, I was very close to losing everything Kael told me to rest, but I needed to do this myself. Marisol deserved that much from me.I pushed open the door.Marisol sat on the edge of the bed, her bag rested beside herShe already changed from the hospital gown to her normal clothes,“You came” she said, her voice sounded steady with a pale face “Of course I did” I stepped inside and closed the door behind me “Doctor cleared you already?”Marisol no

    KAELI pulled Nyla into our bedroom the moment, the entire day had been light and I could see the tension free atmosphere from afar."You have been carrying too much today. Let me handle everything now. No more thinking about problems or confessions."I sat on the bed first and pulled her gently between my legs. My hands settled on her waist as I looked up at her face.I kissed her slowly, taking my time, tasting the stress that still lingered on her lips. She leaned into me immediately. I deepened the kiss, one hand sliding up her back while the other stayed firmly at her waist, holding her close against me."You taste so good," I murmured against her mouth between kisses. "I have been thinking about kissing you properly since we left that place. No one else around."I kissed her again, even slower this time, savoring every second. My tongue moved against hers with patience. I broke the kiss only to trail my lips along her jaw and down to her neck."Your lips...." I whispered against

    NYLAI cannot believe it is really over. I sat on the wide couch in the living room beside Kael, the house completely quiet except for the low hum of the heater running in the background. The lights stayed dimmed, just the way I like it. Evans was already processed and in custody. Mia was gone, taken away after the shot in that hotel. I kept my hands in my lap, fingers tracing small patterns on my own skin while my mind replayed every second of what happened.Kael finally shifted slightly closer on the couch. His arm rested along the back but he did not pull me in yet. "You walked into that hotel and changed everything in seconds. I told you to stay back and you still came inside."I nodded slowly. "I had to. I could not sit outside knowing you faced both of them alone with guns involved. My legs moved before my head agreed."He exhaled. "I know. But seeing that gun turn toward you stopped everything inside me. Mia looked ready to pull the trigger right then. Her eyes were different

    KAELI didn’t remember grabbing my coat.One second I was standing there, the corridor still breathing with the aftermath of my own words. The next, I was already outside, the front doors slamming behind me hard enough to make the glass shudder. I didn’t stop walking. I didn’t want to stop to think

    NYLAMy heart pounded like a drum in my chest as Kael's eyes locked onto mine, dark and intense, the kind of gaze that made my knees weak even when I was already lying down. I'd thought we could talk, about us, about the mess of feelings swirling inside me. But talking was the last thing on his min

    NYLA“Ugh,” I woke slowly.Everything felt thick. My limbs weighed too much. My head throbbed in dull, ugly pulses that made me squeeze my eyes shut again before opening them properly. My mouth tasted bitter with the aftertaste of the alcohol. Then the memory followed right after.Evans’ disgusting

    NYLA“What a silly joke,” I laughed hard, slapping my thighs. It came out wrong, it was shaky, almost hysterical, but I still continued regardless. “Nyla….” Kael started.“You’re lying,” I said, the word stumbling out of me. “You’re just making things up.”Kael didn’t flinch. His face was stiff wi
