Last night was a blast. I wanted to go bar hopping again, but Elijah, being the killjoy that he always is, decided to take me straight home to the mansion.

So here I am again, sitting at the long dining table with my so-called father.

I grimaced before yawning, lazily eyeing the food spread out in front of me but my eyes stopped at the end of the table where the demon seated.

I was expecting the usual—cold silence or his endless tirades about how much of a disappointment I am.

But today... something’s different.

I blinked, trying to process what I was seeing. My father, smiling. Not the sarcastic, mocking smirk he usually wears, but an actual, genuine smile as he sipped his coffee.

"Did I wake up in the wrong house?" Farah, sitting across from me, muttered.

We exchanged a glance before I looked away, lazily reaching for a piece of bread.

"Good morning, Farah, Eloise, and Sandro," the devil himself greeted us, which was incredibly surprising.

Just the other day, he looked

    Could this day get any more frustrating? First, there was last night's disaster—my conversation with Eloise. Then, this morning, my mom started bugging me about marrying the daughter of one of her friends, throwing in her usual guilt trip about how she's getting older. As if that wasn’t enough, seeing Noel again after all these years stirred up things I wasn’t ready to deal with. And now, Eloise’s eyes are boring into me, full of accusation, as if I had betrayed her by not telling her Noel was back. It felt like the universe was testing my patience! “Don’t tell me we’ve been waiting here for half an hour already because Eloise ruined the meeting?” Veronica scoffed, crossing her arms as she leaned back in her seat. I sighed, rubbing the bridge of my nose. “She didn’t ruin the meeting. She just… made an entrance, that’s all.” "An entrance?" Veronica raised an eyebrow, disbelief etched on her face. "She barged in, glared at everyone like she owned the place, and completely derai

    Elijah looked at me like I’d lost my mind. His mouth opened, then closed, like he couldn’t believe what I just said. "You need what?!" he asked, his voice loud and sharp. I crossed my arms, meeting his shocked gaze. "Sperm. Your sperm," I said again, not even blinking. He rubbed his face, letting out a frustrated sigh. "Eloise, are you out of your mind?" "No, I’m not." I raised my chin, my tone steady. "He wants an heir. I’ll give him one—but I need your help. Simple as that." He laughed, but it wasn’t the usual amused kind—it was the kind that made my skin prickle. "Simple? Simple?! Are you hearing yourself, Eloise?! You can’t just walk up to me and casually ask for my sperm like you’re borrowing sugar from a neighbor!" "Why not?" I said, crossing my arms, unfazed by his outburst. "Why not?!" His voice pitched higher, his hands flailing as if trying to grab an invisible explanation. "Because it’s crazy, Eloise! It’s absolutely insane! You don’t just do things like this!

    "Elijah, I need your sperm.” She just needs your sperm, Elijah! Your sperm! It doesn’t mean you two will have sex! You’ll just be her sperm donor!“Fuck… Oh… Goddamnit, Eloise!”I tightly shut my eyes, the image of her serious face as she said those words replaying in my mind.“Elijah, I need your sperm.”I was utterly exhausted, gasping for air and drenched in sweat. I can't fucking sleep! No matter what I do, I can't erase the way she said those words from my mind! Her alluring face is just too much to handle! My strength is draining, and even my hands feel tired. It’s like I’m burning up with fever from this unbearable heat! This isn’t the first time I’ve fantasized about my sister-in-law, but it’s definitely the first time I’ve touched myself nonstop from midnight till dawn!“Ahhh…. Fuck, Eloise! Fuck! Fuck! Damn it!” I'm not even sure if she's serious about what she's asking for! But the thought that I’m the first person she thought of... that’s what’s making me so damn hard!

    I sat on the stairs, the cold cement biting against my legs, a cigarette lazily dangling between my fingers. The smoke curled upward, vanishing into the evening air as I stared into nothingness. "An STD? Really?" I muttered to myself, smirking at Elijah’s pathetic attempt to scare me off Rafael. The confidence in his voice was almost convincing, but I wasn’t stupid. Elijah might be good at running a business, but lying? He sucked at it. I exhaled a cloud of smoke, letting the nicotine calm the storm of thoughts in my head. Rafael wasn’t exactly perfect, but the question nagged me now: who would be? Who could fit the messy, temporary role of baby daddy without ruining my life in the process? Elijah’s words echoed in my mind, louder than I wanted them to. "Pick someone with a sense of responsibility... someone you can trust." I scoffed, flicking the ash off my cigarette. "Easier said than done, genius." Trust wasn’t exactly my strong suit, and responsibility? Most men ran from that

    I leaned back in my chair, staring blankly at the ceiling, replaying the words I had thrown at Eloise earlier. Rafael has an STD? Damn, I really said that, didn’t I? The lie had just slipped out so effortlessly, and I couldn’t even blame the heat of the moment. It was pure, unfiltered panic. I groaned, running a hand over my face. Rafael was going to kill me if this ever got back to him. Not that I cared much—I’d do it again if it meant keeping Eloise away from him. Before I could spiral any further into my thoughts, the door to my office burst open with a loud bang, nearly making me fall out of my chair. "Elijah, my man!" Rafael’s voice boomed as he strode into the room, grinning like he had just won the lottery. Oh, great. Speak of the devil. "Why are you smiling like that?" I asked, sitting up straight and trying to mask my unease. He plopped down on the chair across from me, completely at ease, like he owned the place. "Why wouldn’t I be? Life’s good, brother.

    It’s nice if someone is worried about you, but when they start acting like the world is ending just because you inhaled a little smoke? Ugh, it’s too much. I opened my eyes to the blinding hospital lights and immediately groaned. The air felt sterile, cold, and heavy with the scent of antiseptics. My throat was dry, and my body ached, but none of that compared to the irritation bubbling inside me. Elijah was pacing near the bed, his face a mix of relief and frustration. He looked like he’d aged ten years in the past hour. “Elijah,” I croaked, trying to sit up. “Stop pacing. You’re making me dizzy.” “You should stay lying down!” he snapped, rushing to my side like I was made of glass. His hands hovered over me like he wasn’t sure where to touch. “Do you even realize what could’ve happened to you?!” “Yes, I inhaled some smoke and fainted. Big deal,” I muttered, waving him off. “I’m not dying.” His jaw tightened, and I could tell he was holding back a lecture. “Eloise, you we

    I could feel my throat burn as I downed the entire glass of vodka, the sting doing little to ease the frustration simmering inside me. The bass-heavy music pounded through the club, matching the erratic rhythm of my thoughts. Across the table, Rafael lounged comfortably, a smug grin on his face as two women clung to his arms, giggling at whatever nonsense he was whispering in their ears. “Rough night, Eli?” Rafael called out over the music, smirking like the asshole he was. “You’re drinking like you just lost the lottery.” I ignored him, signaling the bartender for another drink. My mind was elsewhere—on a certain stubborn woman who always managed to push me to the edge and leave me hanging there. Eloise. My grip on the glass tightened as I remembered my conversation with Edmund earlier. I stared at Eloise's face. She might have an angelic face, but when she wakes up, she’s colder than Elsa from Frozen (thanks to Venice’s little sister for introducing me to that movie). Her

    Uncle Sandro gently dabbed the side of my lip with a cotton ball soaked in antiseptic, his brows furrowed in concentration. I winced at the sting but didn’t pull away."You're always so stubborn," he muttered, his voice tinged with both frustration and concern. "Why do you always let things escalate to this point?"I rolled my eyes, ignoring the question. "It’s not like I asked for this, Uncle. Besides, it’s just a bruise.”His hand froze mid-air, and he gave me a look that could rival a storm. "Just a bruise? Eloise, this isn’t normal. Edmund crossed the line, and you’re acting like it’s just another Tuesday!” I just shrugged in response. Then I saw the pity in his eyes. "Fine. Fine. Fine. We’re not doing this if you’re just going to pity me," I said irritably, snatching the cotton ball from his hands. He wouldn’t have even known about this if we hadn’t bumped into each other on the stairs earlier!Uncle Sandro’s expression turned serious, his usual warmth replaced by somethi

    I don’t know how to cope with such a loss.The moment Noel said the words—She’s dead—something in me broke. Not cracked, not splintered—broke. Like glass shattering from the inside. It’s not just pain. It’s a kind of silence that screams. A weight that settles in your chest and refuses to move.I keep waiting to wake up. Hoping this is just another one of those twisted nightmares I’ve had since the accident. But every time I open my eyes, I’m still here—on this damn island. And Eloise is still gone.Gone.I hate that word.Because it sounds so clean. So final. But nothing about this feels clean. My memories of her come in flashes—her laugh, the way she used to say my name like it mattered, the last time we fought, the last time I made her cry. God, I can’t even remember the last time I told her I loved her.And now I’ll never get the chance to.Eloise and I never started in a proper way.I didn’t marry her out of love.

    I woke up gasping for air—my lungs burning, chest tight like I’d been pulled from the bottom of the ocean. Every breath felt like fire. I coughed violently, choking on what felt like seawater or blood. Or both.Everything was a blur until my eyes landed on a face hovering above mine. Noel.His brows were furrowed, worry etched deep into the lines of his face. “Matthew,” he called out, firm but gentle. “It’s okay. You’re safe now.”Safe?I tried to sit up, but pain shot through my ribs like a thousand knives. I groaned, falling back onto something soft—a bed, maybe. Wooden ceiling above me. The air smelled of salt and dampness. Waves crashed somewhere in the distance. Where the hell am I?“What happened?” I croaked, my throat raw.“You almost died,” he answered flatly. “I had to get you out.”Out of where?My head throbbed. Pieces of memory floated in and out—flashes of shouting, running, blood. Eloise.Eloise and I... we fought. Over something. No—someone.Noel.I turned my head toward

    They say time heals all wounds. I used to think that was a lie we tell ourselves to make pain more bearable. But watching my family now… I know it’s not time that does the healing—it’s love.Life doesn’t go back to what it was. No—after everything that happened, it moves forward. Slowly. Quietly. And sometimes, beautifully.It’s been months since that chaotic morning when Eloah dropped that bomb during breakfast. Since then, things started changing around here. Not in the grand, dramatic way—but in small, healing ways.Eliana’s belly is growing now. She's finally smiling again. Some days are harder than others, but her strength reminds me of her mother. She spends most of her time with Eloise now—quiet conversations, warm hugs, even silent cries. It’s a bond they’re rebuilding, one I’m proud to watch from a distance. The moment I heard her scream from inside the delivery room, everything inside me stilled.Eliana—my daughter—my little girl, was about to become a mother.I was pacing

    I needed air. I needed to get out of the house before I completely lost it.I found myself driving to Rafael’s place, the weight of everything pressing on me. I didn’t know why I ended up there, but I did. Maybe because he was the only one who could listen without offering judgment. Or maybe because I just needed to hear someone else’s voice that wasn’t full of disappointment or anger.Rafael answered the door, already holding a bottle of whiskey. No words were exchanged; he just handed me a glass and led me to the couch.“Talk,” he said, pouring his own drink.I sank into the couch, staring into my glass. “I don’t know what to do anymore, Raf. Eliana… she’s not the girl we raised. I thought we had a chance at fixing things, but I don’t know. She didn’t abort the baby, but she’s still a mess. I don’t understand what happened to her, to all of them.”Rafael didn’t interrupt, just took a swig of his drink, waiting for me to continue.“Everything I do feels like it’s wrong. Eloise and I,

    I sat on the cold hospital couch, my hands clenched tightly in my lap as the ticking of the wall clock echoed in my ears. Elijah was pacing silently beside me, his jaw tense, arms crossed tightly over his chest.The door finally opened, and our family doctor—Dr. Ramirez—stepped in with a clipboard pressed to his chest, his expression unreadable.I stood immediately. “Doc? How is she?”Dr. Ramirez sighed, then gently closed the door behind him. “Eliana is stable now,” he began, voice calm. “She’s severely dehydrated and physically exhausted, but nothing that fluids and rest won’t fix.”Elijah exhaled sharply, relief flickering in his eyes—but only for a second.“There’s something else,” the doctor continued, shifting his weight. “She’s still pregnant.”My heart dropped.“What…?” I whispered.“She’s in her first trimester,” he said softly. “Roughly nine to ten weeks, based on her lab results and ultrasound. The bleeding wasn’t a miscarriage—it’s stress-induced. But the fetus is still th

    The moment I heard Elijah's question, the moment I knew that his patience died.Between the two of us, Elijah was always the gentler one. The soft place to land. Especially when it came to our daughters, he always managed to calm the storm—even when I couldn’t. But hearing him now—his voice sharp, raw, filled with something close to rage—it scared the hell out of me.I took a shaky breath, stepping in fast, reaching for his arm. His shoulders were tense, fists clenched at his sides, and his eyes—God, his eyes were locked on Eliana like he didn’t recognize her.“Elijah... Hon, please...” I whispered, gripping his arm tightly. “That’s our daughter.”But he didn’t even look at me. He took another step forward, and Eliana flinched.“What did I hear, young woman?” he said, his voice low but thundering in the room. “You aborted—you killed your own child?”My chest tightened. I saw the tears pooling in Eliana’s eyes, her jaw trembling, but her pride still holding her back from crumbling. I c

    I stood beside Eloise, both of us silent as we stared at the wall filled with framed photos. Six kids—but basically seven kids.God, time flew fast.Each photo captured a piece of our life—Eloah with his mischievous grin, Eliana's shy little smile, and the twins, Sandra and Matthew, always caught mid-laughter, Ezrah smiling naughtily, and Eliam proudly showing off his new set of teeth. Then there was Elisha, our youngest for now, her baby photo framed right at the center.I slid my arm around Eloise’s waist, pulling her closer. "If we have another one," I murmured against her hair, "we’re gonna need a bigger wall."She let out a soft laugh, and I felt it against my chest. I smiled too. This wall—it wasn't just filled with pictures. It was filled with life, with memories we built together, one kid, one moment at a time.I leaned down and kissed the side of her head, thinking…If we were given another blessing, I wouldn't hesitate.I'd fill all the walls if it meant more of her, more of

    The blinding lights above me blurred through the tears in my eyes. My body shook, exhausted, every inch of me screaming in pain. I gripped the sides of the bed so hard my knuckles turned white."Push, Eloise! One more push!" the doctor said.I sucked in a breath and pushed with everything I had. My heart pounded in my ears, the world narrowing to nothing but the sound of my own strained breathing and the overwhelming need to meet my baby.Then — a cry.A loud, desperate cry that made my heart burst in my chest. Tears streamed down my face as I collapsed against the bed, gasping for air."It's a girl," the nurse said softly.A girl.Our girl.I screamed again, my body wracked with a new wave of pain. I thought it was over—but the doctor’s voice cut through the chaos."Another one! Keep pushing, Eloise!"My eyes widened in shock. Another one?I didn’t even have time to process it. Elijah and I had agreed not to do an ultrasound, wanting it to be a surprise... but we never imagined this.

    "Won't you apologize for Matthew?"Those were the first words I said the moment I sat across from him. No anger. No shouting. Just a cold, tired question.Noel leaned back in his chair, chains clinking lazily, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Apologize?" he repeated, almost amused. "For what?""For everything," I said, voice flat. "For ruining him. For dragging all of us into your mess. For being the reason he's dead."Noel scoffed, shaking his head slowly like I was the one who didn’t understand. "Matthew made his own choices. Don’t put that on me.”"You robbed me of ten years with him—""Oh, come on, Eloise. Don’t act like what I did didn’t favor you. And don’t pretend you loved Matthew the way I loved him. It was Elijah you loved, not Matthew. So stop acting like you’re heartbroken just because Matthew died!”I stiffened, feeling the rage rise in my chest, but I forced myself to stay still. I wasn’t going to give Noel the satisfaction of seeing me crack."You’re right,"
