BORROWED LOVE ON ICE EPILOGUE
XAVIER'S POV Months later, Melissa gave birth to a bouncing baby boy—our blue jet finally arrived. The first time I held him in my arms, it felt as though the world stilled just to watch that moment with me. His little fingers curled around mine, fragile yet full of promise. My chest tightened, not in pain, but in overwhelming joy. This child, this tiny miracle, was more than blood and name; he was a symbol of redemption. A reminder that love, even when bruised, can bloom again. Melissa, exhausted but radiant, leaned against her pillows with a tired smile. She whispered, “He looks just like you.” And truly, he did. From the shape of his nose to the faint curl of his lips, he was a miniature version of me. My mini-me. The hospital room was filled with laughter, blessings, and emotions so high they felt tangible. I remembered kissing Melissa’s forehead and silently thanking God for a second chance—not just with her, but with the family I thought I would never have. *** A month la
BORROWED LOVE ON ICE JUST THE BEGINING
XAVIER'S POVWEEKS LATER... Filing that case against Louis and Marco wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. Too many lines had been crossed, too many scars left behind, and I couldn’t just sit back and let them continue tormenting Melissa and i. They thought they could manipulate the media, twist the truth, and bury us under scandals. They thought intimidation and lies were enough to shatter us.They were wrong.When I walked into the courthouse that first morning, the weight of everything pressed down on me. The tall marble columns, the echo of shoes against the polished floor, the sharp scent of paper and ink from the clerk’s desk—it all hit me at once. This wasn’t just another day. This was justice in motion.Melissa was by my side, her hand lightly resting in mine. She had insisted on coming, even though I told her the stress wasn’t good for her. But Melissa was strong-willed. “If I don’t stand beside you now, Xavier, when will I? This fight is ours,” she had said.And she was right
BORROWED LOVE ON ICE FIGHTING A LOSING WAR
KATRINA'S POV After I saw Xavier’s post—from the media frenzy at the airport to the photographs of his proposal to Melissa—I realized I had lost this battle. There was no denying it anymore. Xavier’s love for Melissa was real. It had always been real, whether I wanted to accept it or not.For weeks I had fooled myself into believing that I could somehow win, that I could outshine my sister, that Xavier would see me differently. But watching the way he held her hand in those photographs, watching the way he looked at her as though she was the only woman in the entire world, crushed every last ounce of denial in me.I scrolled through the comments under the viral posts.“Finally, he’s acknowledging her.”“True love always wins.”“Look at her glow—she’s definitely pregnant!”“She’s carrying his child. The Kesh heir!”The rumors were true. Melissa was pregnant, and Xavier was responsible.It should have been me, a bitter voice whispered inside me. But another part of me, the part I had
BORROWED LOVE ON ICE I CAME TO SEE YOU
XAVIER'S POV Everything felt like it was finally back to normal—or at least as close to normal as it could get in my world. Melissa was back in my life. For the first time in months, I didn’t feel that gaping hole in my chest. She was here, in my arms, in my bed, in my apartment, carrying my child. The noise online had died down. The internet trolls who once branded Melissa with cruel names had shut their mouths, forced into silence after I made my declaration at the airport and followed it with something bigger—our engagement photo. The picture of me on one knee, sliding the ring onto Melissa’s finger, had gone viral. It wasn’t just gossip anymore; it was evidence of a man in love, ready to fight for the woman he nearly lost. That morning, I woke up earlier than Melissa. The sunlight was just peeking through the blinds, spilling across her face. She looked peaceful, her lips slightly parted, one hand resting protectively over her stomach. That image alone—my fiancée, glowing wit
BORROWED LOVE ON ICE BACK HOME
MELISSA'S POV The flight felt endless. The hours in the air dragged on, weighed down by silence so heavy it seemed to press against my chest. I sat by the window, staring at the vast clouds that blurred into each other like brushstrokes on a cold canvas. Beside me, Xavier was a statue. His shoulders were tense, his gaze fixed on nothing, his jaw tight. He would only look at me periodically, smile and pat my head. He didn't even want to say anything. There were too many unspoken words between us, too many ghosts lingering in the space that separated our seats. My heart kept hammering with every little movement he made. I wanted to ask him why—why he looked like he was carrying the weight of the world, why he had dragged me back here, why his joy when I agreed to return had been replaced by this cold silence. But the words stuck in my throat. So I pressed my forehead against the window, pretending to sleep, pretending the distance didn’t matter when it mattered more than anything.
BORROWED LOVE ON ICE TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
MELISSA'S POV Xavier looked like a child who had just been handed his favorite candy on Halloween. His entire face lit up the second I said I’d go back with him. For a brief moment, I forgot the heaviness in my chest. His joy was contagious, so pure and unrestrained that a small smile crept onto my lips despite everything. But then the reality struck—he had said the flight was this morning. That meant there was barely any time to prepare myself mentally or emotionally. I glanced around my small apartment, my safe haven for months. My chest tightened. Could I really leave this place behind? It was modest, yes, but it had been mine. Every corner carried memories—late nights curled on the couch, mornings spent staring out the window with coffee in hand, silent tears shed when the loneliness became too much. This apartment had held my grief, my healing, and now it was about to witness my next chapter. “Mel,” Xavier’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. He was already rolling up his
