Five months. I only have five months to prepare everything for my dream wedding.

When I got married, I didn't do that much well I think except that I needed to walk down the aisle and say yes.

This time, it was different. This time, I wanted to be part of every single detail—the venue, the flowers, the dress, even the tiniest decorations. This was *our* wedding, and I wanted it to be perfect.

Elijah wasn’t the type to care about details, but to my surprise, he was involved in everything. From choosing places to picking out the invitations, he was there—opinionated, sometimes annoyingly so, but still there.

I stared at him as he scrolled through photos of wedding venues on his phone. “You do know you’re just supposed to nod and say, ‘Whatever you want, baby,’ right?”

He smirked. “Nope. This is my wedding too. I get a say.”

I rolled my eyes, but I couldn’t help the smile tugging at my lips. Maybe planning this wedding wouldn’t be so bad after all.

We spent the next few days vi

    The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow on the woman beside me—my wife. My wife. I smirked at the thought, turning onto my side to watch her sleep. Her dark hair was a mess, strands falling over her face, her lips slightly parted. She looked peaceful, completely exhausted from last night. I chuckled, running a hand through my hair. “I really outdid myself, huh?” Eloise stirred, groaning as she buried her face deeper into the pillow. “Shut up.” I laughed, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her against me. “Good morning, Mrs. Dawson.” She peeked at me through one eye, pouting. “My legs hurt.” I grinned. “You should’ve thought about that before marrying me.”It’s been five years since I married the love of my life.Five years since I stood at that altar, watching Eloise walk down the aisle, knowing with every fiber of my being that I was exactly where I was meant to be.Now, here we are—five years of marriage, countless memories

    My grip tightened on the chair as I stared at her, trying to process what the hell was happening.It’s been years since I last visited Victoria at the mental hospital. The reports had been good—she was stable, responding well to treatment. She was supposed to be living under supervision, gradually reintegrating into society.But why the hell was she standing in front of me now?“Surprised to see me?” she asked, tilting her head slightly. “I figured it was time for a family reunion.”I exhaled sharply, forcing my emotions into check. “How did you get out?”Victoria let out a soft, amused laugh, shaking her head. “Oh, Elijah, let’s skip the boring interrogation, shall we? I’m here now. That’s what matters.”I clenched my jaw, my patience thinning. “That’s not how this works, Victoria. You don’t just walk in here and expect things to go back to normal.”She sighed dramatically, rolling her eyes. “Fine. If you must know, I behaved, passed all their little tests, and they decided I was ‘fi

    "You believe me, right?" That was Elijah's question the moment we stepped foot into our house. We had just come from the mental hospital where Victoria had been staying for the past few years. And yes, she was there—physically present but mentally absent.I sighed, removing my coat and setting it aside. I turned to Elijah, who was still standing near the door, his expression unreadable.“You believed me, right?” he repeated, his voice quieter this time, almost hesitant.I smiled widely at him the one with reassurance. "Of course, I do.”Elijah’s eyes narrowed slightly as he studied my face, as if searching for any sign of doubt. His jaw clenched, and he exhaled through his nose. “No, you don’t,” he muttered, shaking his head. “You’re just saying that to make me feel better.” I frowned. “Elijah—” “You think I imagined it,” he interrupted, his voice calm but edged with frustration. “You think I was just stressed or hallucinating or whatever the hell else you're trying to convinc

    I sat beside Noah on a park bench, my hands gripping my lap as I tried to process everything. The wind was cool, rustling through the trees, but my mind felt like a storm.“You should leave the country,” Noah said, his voice firm but quiet. “Take Elijah, take the kids, and just go.”I frowned, turning to him. “What? Noah, that’s insane. Why would we—”I studied him carefully, my heart pounding in my chest. There was something different about him—something I couldn’t quite place. His eyes, once filled with warmth despite everything, now held a shadow I didn’t recognize.“Noah…” I said slowly, trying to keep my voice steady. “You’re scaring me.”“You should be scared,” he shot back, his tone sharp. “Eloise, I wouldn’t be here if this wasn’t serious. You need to take your family and leave before—”“Before what?” I cut him off, shaking my head. “Noah, you’re talking in circles! Just tell me what the hell is going on!”He inhaled sharply, gripping his hands together as if trying to keep hi

    I furrowed my brows as I climbed the stairs, hearing hushed voices coming from the hallway. Uncle Sandro was standing with a doctor, their expressions grave. A strange unease settled in my chest. “What’s going on?” I asked, stepping closer. Uncle Sandro turned to me, his face unreadable. The doctor gave me a polite nod but remained silent. “Elijah,” Uncle Sandro started carefully, but something in his tone made my stomach drop. I glanced between them, my patience thinning. “What happened? Where’s Eloise?” The doctor sighed, adjusting his glasses. “She’s resting, Mr. Dawson. She had a severe panic attack.” My heart clenched. “A panic attack?” My voice came out sharper than intended. Uncle Sandro placed a firm hand on my shoulder. “They’re both stable now.” I swallowed hard, my grip tightening on the railing. “Both. What do you mean?” Uncle Sandro hesitated for a brief moment before speaking. “Matthew.”I let out a dry chuckle, shaking my head. “That’s not funny, U

    I hugged my knees to my chest, staring at the still water of the pool, but all I could see were the ripples of my past crashing into my present. Matthew is alive. My mind kept repeating those three words, over and over, like a cruel reminder that everything I built in the past ten years might not be mine to keep. I closed my eyes, feeling the night breeze kiss my skin, but it didn’t calm me. Instead, my thoughts dragged me back—to that night. Ten years ago. The explosion. The fire. The screams. I remembered running, my lungs burning, my heart pounding so hard I thought it would burst. I remembered the smell of smoke, the way the world seemed to blur as I searched for Matthew—only to be told he was gone. But was he really? I clutched my arms, my breath shaky. If Matthew survived… then where had he been all these years? Why didn’t he come back? Why now? “Eloise.” I jolted, snapping out of my daze. Elijah stood near the glass doors, his expression unreadable. He walk

    I sat on the couch, watching as Eloah pouted beside me, his small fingers fidgeting with the hem of his shirt. “Daddy, why can’t we go home yet?” he asked, his voice laced with frustration. “I miss our home. I miss my room. Is Mommy still busy?” My throat tightened. How could I even begin to explain this? That we were staying here not because Mommy was busy but because someone from the past had come back—a man who could shake the foundation of our family? Before I could answer, Eliana let out a giggle from across the room, completely unaware of the weight in her brother’s words. She was playing with her stuffed toys, completely lost in her little world. I forced a smile and ruffled Eloah’s hair. “We’ll go home soon, buddy. Mommy’s just handling some things, and we need to give her a little more time, okay?” Eloah frowned, crossing his arms. “But I don’t like it here anymore. I want to sleep in my own bed.” I exhaled, glancing at Uncle Sandro, who was silently watching from

    I wiped the silent tears that slipped down my cheeks, forcing myself to take another bite. The food tasted like nothing. Just emptiness. Life was hard these days. Elijah wasn’t home. The kids weren’t here. And Matthew… Matthew had just fallen asleep after another agonizing episode, his shouts of pain still echoing in my ears. I swallowed the lump in my throat, staring at the empty chair in front of me. Eliana usually sat there, babbling about her toys. Eloah would sit beside her, acting like a responsible older brother. Elijah—he’d be right next to me, stealing food from my plate with a smug grin. But now, I was alone. I missed them. So damn much. I placed my fork down, burying my face in my hands. What was I supposed to do? My family was slipping away from me, and I felt like I was the one pushing them. But what choice did I have? Matthew needed me. He was in pain, lost, and confused. But Elijah… Eloah, Eliana… They needed me too. And I was breaking under the weight

    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,"
