SHIMMA’S POV

I dropped my phone on the couch, but suddenly, the realization hit me. I never told my mum about Lucas. In fact, I was planning on mentioning him when she called, but somehow, I forgot, letting her words sink in instead of asking her how she found out.

“MOM, HOW DID YOU KNOW?” I sent a quick text, staring at the screen while I waited for her response.

Suddenly, the phone buzzed loudly, the screen lighting up with her reply. “DOCTOR RYLE HAD JUST INFORMED ME A FEW DAYS AGO, AND I WAS PLANNING ON CALLING YOU BEFORE YOU TEXTED,” she wrote. And then I nodded in understanding.

But why would Doctor Ryle call her to tell her? Wouldn’t he have thought she knew already, since Mattias and I did? The question hit me hard. But it didn’t really matter to me. All I wanted was this whole mess to end. I needed to go back to the peaceful and vibrant life I used to have.

I held my tummy, shutting my eyes. I had two humans growing in me, and the last thing I wanted was for them to feel unsa

    SHIMMA’S POV.The next morning, I sat across from my mum while we were both focused on our phones. Mattias was working upstairs in his office. He couldn’t leave me alone at home, not when Lucas hadn’t been seen or heard from.“So tell me, do you like this design?” I turned my phone towards my mother. It took her a few seconds before she glanced up at me, which left me wondering why she was so lost in her phone.“Let me see,” she said, taking my phone and scrolling between the two wedding dresses I had shown her.My designer had sent those two since they were the best designs she could come up with, and both of them were exactly what I wanted.“It’s really hard to pick,” my mum said, her eyes focused on my phone.“I know, it’s been hours and I still don’t know which design I should go with,” I said, feeling frustrated as I ran my hand through my hair.“Both are extremely beautiful and elegant, but I think you should go with this design,” she said, facing the screen towards me. “I love

    SHIMMA'S POV.We pulled up in front of the gate—our gate.I could feel my heart pounding heavily in my chest as we drove into the compound. The scream, the gunshot.It’s been three weeks, yet returning here had already filled me with memories. I couldn’t help but feel shivers run through me.Mattias had already asked the guards to check each and every corner of the house, which they did, and it was confirmed empty.Once we got in, Mattias and I entered while the guards brought in our luggage.“I hope you enjoyed the trip, love,” Mattias said, holding my hand as he walked me up the stairs. “Yes, I did, I loved it,” I said, smiling up at him.We got to the bedroom, and we both had showers together. Mattias had rented a chef for the day because he was too tired to cook.We decided to take a quick nap before the meal would be ready.———“Phone ringing!”The loud buzz of my phone woke me up from my sleep. I rubbed my eyes, looking out the window; it was already dark. I yawned loudly, str

    THREE WEEKS LATER.SHIMMA’S POV.It’s been three weeks since we left California. In that time, we’ve wandered through three different countries, each with its own sights, foods, and feelings. But now it feels like the right moment to return home.We first explored “Santorini, Greece” with its beautiful whitewashed buildings perched on the cliffs overlooking the Aegean Sea. Gosh! The sunsets there were so mesmerizing, painting the sky in vibrant hues. Oh, I can’t forget the fresh baklava and grilled souvlaki we enjoyed in charming village cafés. I have always dreamt of visiting Greece ever since I was a child, and Mattias just made it happen. I love my man!Next, we found ourselves in “Tuscany, Italy” The air there was filled with the aroma of wine and ripe figs. We strolled through medieval towns like Siena, enjoying local cheeses and fresh pasta—It was so amazing, i didn’t want to leave.Finally, we ventured to “Kyoto, Japan” The city was harmonious and filled with beautiful ancien

  • Entangled With My Dad’s Best Friend: Series 2   Let’s Wait.

    MATTIAS’S POVI parked in front of my parents' house, my eyes darting around to see if any cars were following me.My mother hadn’t called yet, which meant Lucas hadn’t shown up.The guards opened the gate, letting me drive in. As soon as I pulled in, my mother stepped out of the entrance, her eyes filled with worry.I stepped out of the car, watching my mother advance toward me.“Mattias, you’re back,” she said, wrapping her arms around me in a hug. My father stepped out, concern etched on his face.“Matt, what is it I heard about Lucas?” he asked, brows furrowed.“It’s a long story, Dad. I’m sure Mom has filled you in a bit. Right now, all I want is your safety—and Shimma's,” I said, my heart racing at the mention of her name. How was she doing? I needed to call her to know. I hoped she wasn’t too scared.“Let’s go inside then. We’ll wait until he shows up,” my father said, turning back to enter the house, and we followed.---Three hours had passed, and still, there was no sign of

  • Entangled With My Dad’s Best Friend: Series 2   A new plan.

    LUCAS’S POVAfter discussing my plans with the gang members, I laid out how I wanted them to end Mattias for good.I watched the man for a few seconds as he took his time, dragging in his smoke and contemplating my words.“I don’t think your plan will work,” he said, and I felt my heart sink.“Why? Why can’t it work?” I pressed, eager to hear his reasoning.“Well, I’m sure the cops would be waiting for you at every corner, including the airport,” he replied. But I quickly cut him off.“But my friend here owns a private jet. He could fly a few of us in without the cops finding out,” I insisted, gesturing toward Derek, who rolled his eyes and shook his head, clearly irritated by a decision he knew was crucial for me. I didn’t understand why he kept acting this way. If it were him, he’d do the same thing.No one would understand my pain—my heartache, my fears. Does anyone realize what it means to love someone so deeply that nothing else matters? Just her—Shimma.I knew we were meant to b
