~Velma’s POV

I nodded, still holding my grandfather’s hand, feeling the warmth and strength in it. I hadn’t even realized I’d been crying while telling him everything; my heart had carried so many memories that the tears just slipped out without asking. Grandpa noticed and handed me a tissue with that gentle smile that always made me feel lighter.

We both laughed softly, a little embarrassed, and it felt good, like a weight lifted from both of us. “You’ve told quite a story, Velma,” he said,

    64~Eva’s POVMy mother stepped closer too. “Your father is right. Take what you deserve. Show that family who you are. Show Dylan who you are. You are not just a wife who was forgotten. You are not just the mother of his child. You are Eva. Do not let anyone write you as a side character in your own life.”The words stung, but they also lit something warm inside me, like a match being struck in a dark room.“I will,” I said, my voice steadier. “I will do everything in my power to get those shares. I will prove myself. I do not know how yet, but I will. I am tired of waiting. I am tired of begging for space in my own life. I will make my own space.”My father nodded with approval, his expression softening a little. “That is my daughter.”I watched my father’s anger settle into something colder, something controlled, like a storm deciding whether to break or hold itself back. He took a deep breath and rubbed his forehead as if he was trying to stop himself from exploding. His voice cam

    63~Eva’s POVDad looked at me gently, but it only made me feel more irritated. “Your grandfather believes she was meant for something bigger,” he said. “He always said she was special. Even before we saw anything special in her.”“And where did that lead us?” I snapped. “She left. She disappeared. She brought nothing but trouble. Yet everybody keeps holding on to her shadow like a ghost we owe something to.”I swallowed hard, feeling heat flood my eyes, but I refused to blink. I refused to cry again.Then I took a breath and looked at both of them.“I want my life back,” I whispered. “I want my place back. I want to walk into that company and not feel like I am standing in someone else’s shadow. I want to be enough without competing with a memory.”Dad nodded slowly. “Then you have to fight for it. But not blindly. Think. Plan. If you rush like last time, you will lose again.”“I am going to see Grandfather,” I said. “And I will not come back empty-handed.”My father finally spoke, h

    62~Velma’s POVI tilted my head, curiosity and excitement bubbling in my chest. “More? You already spent the morning making me cry with the presents and the cake. What could come next?”He laughed, a deep, rich sound that made me smile despite myself. “Just wait.”Jaden tugged at his sleeve. “Daddy, can I see it too?”Theron smiled down at him. “Of course, little man. You’re part of this, too.”He handed Jaden a small card, and my eyes widened when I saw it. It was embossed, thick, and smelled faintly of leather. I opened it carefully, and inside was a voucher for a private, luxury spa experience, just for the three of us. It wasn’t just any spa; it was the type where the rooms overlooked a cliffside and the sea, where the private infinity pool glimmered with underwater lights, and the massage oils were imported from France.I gasped softly. “Theron… you didn’t…”He shrugged, acting casual, but the glint in his eyes betrayed him. “Of course I did. You’ve earned it, love. You’ve been

    61~Velma’s POVI stepped out of the house, and my eyes immediately caught the sleek black limousine waiting, the driver standing stiffly by its side. He gave a small bow, and I could tell he had been trained to look formal yet unobtrusive. “Mr. Theron asked me to bring you, Ma’am,” he said politely. I smiled, thanking him softly, and slid into the back seat.The ride was quiet but thrilling. My mind raced, imagining what Theron might have planned, my heart fluttering with excitement. The streets blurred past, but I barely noticed, my hands clutching the small bag I had brought, the heels clicking lightly against the floor of the car. After about an hour, the car slowed, and I realized we had arrived. The driver opened the door for me, and I stepped out carefully, feeling the soft evening breeze against my skin.“Thank you,” I said, giving him a polite nod before turning toward the restaurant. As I pushed the door open, my eyes widened. The place was completely transformed. Soft light

    60~Velma’s POVI sat back, smiling to myself. The drawing wasn’t just a face. It was life captured in graphite, a whisper of time and memory frozen in a moment. My heart felt full, and I realized that today, my birthday, wasn’t just about gifts or flowers or cakes, it was about this. The ability to create, to pour pieces of my soul onto a page, to feel alive and seen, all at once.The old man’s eyes seemed to stare back at me now, and I couldn’t help but imagine him nodding in approval, as if saying, well done, Velma. Well done.I had no idea Dylan was behind me, just watching as I added the final strokes to the old man’s face. The pencil hovered above the page, shading his cheekbones, and then… a clap.“You’ve outdone yourself, Velma,” he said softly, almost in awe.I jumped a little, startled, then turned to face him. “Oh! Dylan… I didn’t hear you come in,” I said, my voice slightly breathless, still tasting the excitement of finishing the drawing.He smiled, nodding toward the tab

    59~Velma’s POVI looked at Theron with a playful frown, shaking my head. “I really don’t want to go to work today. It’s my birthday.”He laughed, that low, teasing sound that always made me melt. “Lazy ass,” he muttered, smirking. “Fine, go. But don’t stay too long, okay?”I raised an eyebrow at him. “And what about you? What are you going to do alone at home?”He grinned, shrugging like it was nothing. “I will check out at the hotel, bring our things home. I also have a deal to close at one company. That’s all. Easy day.”I nodded, biting my lip as a blush crept across my cheeks. “Okay. I’ll close early,” I said softly, leaning up to give him a quick kiss. He kissed me back gently, lingering just long enough to make my heart skip a beat.I turned to Jaden, who was bouncing slightly with excitement in his seat. “Come on, little man. Let’s get you to school.”Dropping him off felt bittersweet, he waved at me with that big smile that could light up the darkest day, and I waved back, fe
