The moment her lips left mine, I smirked. “I didn’t know you already suck at kissing.”

Eloise shot me a glare, still slightly breathless. “Excuse me?”

I leaned in again, my lips barely brushing her ear as I whispered, “You pulled away first.”

She scoffed and crossed her arms. “Because I need energy. Unlike you, I’m carrying a whole human inside me.”

I chuckled, reaching for her waist, but she stepped back and grabbed her coffee like I wasn’t just kissing her senseless a few seconds ago.

Damn, this woman.

“You’re really just gonna act like that didn’t happen?” I teased, watching as she took a slow sip from her mug.

Eloise raised a brow. “Act like what didn’t happen?”

I narrowed my eyes on her. “Unbelievable.”

She shrugged, turning away as if she wasn’t affected, but I didn’t miss the way her fingers slightly trembled against the mug. She was so full of it.

I smirked, stepping closer behind her. “You can deny it all you want, Eloise…” I leaned in, my voice low. “But

    "How is she?"My voice was low, careful, as I leaned on the doorframe of the kitchen where Maren was busy preparing tea. It had been two weeks since we brought Eloise here, and every passing day felt heavier than the last.Maren rolled her eyes without looking at me. "She didn't eat. Again."I exhaled sharply, my chest tightening. "Did she at least drink something?""No," she said flatly, placing the cup down a bit too hard. "And before you ask, no, I didn't force her. I’m not going to beg a grown woman to eat when all she does is sit by the window and ignore me like I’m her maid."I swallowed hard. I knew this wasn’t easy for Maren either. "I'm not blaming you."She turned to face me, arms crossed, frustration written all over her face. "Then who should we blame? Me for trying? You for dragging her here? Or her, for refusing to fight for herself?"I looked away, jaw tightening. I knew Eloise was hurting. And I knew I was the reason."She’s grieving, Maren," I said, barely above a whi

    Maybe I'm no different from Noel."I hate you..."Those were her last words before she walked away from me.I clenched my jaw as I watched her go. Her steps were fast, firm—but I could see her hands were shaking. I hurt her. I saw it in her eyes.I threatened her. I told her that if she didn’t leave Elijah and come with me, I’d take everything back—everything that was rightfully mine. The company. The name. Even her. I used the one card I never wanted to pull: the truth that I’m still her legal husband. That I’m still the rightful heir to Dawson.And I hated myself for it.But what else did I have left?I’m dying. I only have five months, and all I wanted—God, all I ever wanted—was her.I’ve lost everything else. My time. My strength. My peace.And now I’ve lost the only person I wanted to come home to.Maybe I’ve become everything I swore I wouldn’t be.Maybe the real damage wasn’t what Noel did to me.Maybe it’s what I did to myself—when I let desperation make decisions my heart nev

    I was gone for almost ten years.Ten years of silence. Ten years of pretending I didn’t exist.And the world… it moved on without me. Just like I told myself it would.Just like I told myself it should.But nothing prepares you for the sting of actually hearing it from them. Elijah and Eloise.Married.I should be happy for them. Elijah’s always been the better man. And Eloise… she deserves happiness more than anyone. After everything I put her through, maybe this is fate correcting my mistakes. Maybe this is karma—slow and cruel, but justified.But knowing that doesn’t make the ache go away.Because I loved her. I still do. I think I always will.And now, every time I look at her—so close, yet so far—I wonder what could’ve happened if I didn’t lose my memories. If Noel didn’t steal years of my life. If I had just loved her right, from the very beginning.Would she still be mine?Or was I always meant to lose her in the end?I splashed cold water on my face.Once. Twice. But nothing

    The white walls of the clinic felt too bright, too clean—like they didn’t belong to someone like me. I sat on the cold metal chair, my shirt still damp from being washed, my body aching in places I didn’t even know could ache.The doctor—middle-aged, polite but distant—was flipping through papers with shaking fingers. Maybe it was the silence, or maybe I already knew what was coming. My gut told me this wasn’t going to be a normal check-up.“Mr. Dawson,” he finally said, his voice low, careful.I didn’t respond. Just stared at him.He set the papers down. “We ran all the tests twice. There’s... something aggressive in your system. Stage four.” He paused, searching my eyes for any reaction. “It’s cancer. We caught it too late.”I blinked.Just once.Then again.“What are you saying?” I asked, even though I already knew the answer.“You have five months to live. Maybe less… maybe a bit more, depending on how your body holds up.”Five months.I leaned back, letting the words settle in. F

    I am Matthew Dawson.Eloise’s husband. Elijah and Veronica’s brother.And this… monster—Noel—was the mistake I should’ve never made.Everything came back to me like a goddamn flood. The marriage, the lies, the inheritance, the night Elijah vanished, and the cold truth that I married Eloise not out of love—but out of obligation. Duty. Desperation.At least, that was the start.But somewhere along the way, I fell.For her laugh. For the fire in her eyes. For the way she held me like I wasn’t broken.And now Noel... this sick bastard... was trying to rewrite all of that.“You remember now, don’t you?” he grinned, crouched beside me like a predator playing with its prey. “You said my name.”I didn’t speak. I just stared at him. Blood still dripped down from the corner of my head, soaking my collar. My wrists burned from the restraints, but I didn’t care. I wasn’t scared anymore.“You kidnapped me… You fucking kidnapped me and trapped me on that fucking island!” I shouted, my voice raw and

    The early morning sun peeked over the horizon, casting golden streaks across the rippling sea. The scent of salt and damp wood clung to Lucian’s clothes as he readied the small boat tied at the dock behind his home.His movements were quiet and practiced—coiling rope, checking the net, securing the engine—routine tasks that helped ground him in this simple life he was starting to love.“Lucian!” a voice called behind him, light and breathy.He turned to see Elisse running barefoot across the sand, her dress fluttering around her legs. Her hair was still damp from a recent shower, and she was holding a small plastic container—his lunch, he assumed.“You’re early,” he said, smiling as she approached.“So are you,” she countered, handing him the container.Lucian chuckled. “I need to catch something today, or we’ll end up having canned sardines for dinner.”“You say that like I wouldn’t still eat with you,” she teased, then her smile softened. “I just came to say goodbye.”Lucian’s eyes
