Alina’s eyes stayed fixed on Aiden as he lay beside her. She noticed the way his brows furrowed tightly, his lips parting as though he was struggling in his sleep. His chest rose and fell unevenly.

She blinked in confusion. Was he having a nightmare?

Carefully, she slipped her hand over his. The moment their hands touched, Aiden’s fingers clenched around hers as if he was drowning and she was the only thing keeping him afloat. A second later, his eyes snapped open.

Alina’s heart jumped. She studied him closely, searching his face. "Was it a nightmare?" she asked softly.

But Aiden didn’t answer right away. He wasn’t sure if what he saw was truly a nightmare. All he could recall was a dream...him and Jesse standing a distance apart. He kept calling Jesse, but Jesse only smiled faintly, saying nothing.

Each time Aiden tried to close the distance, Jesse seemed to drift further away, like the ground was stretching beneath them. No matter how desperately Aiden reached out, Jesse only became

    Mandy tossed in her bed, the sheets tangled around her legs. The digital clock glowed 12:07 AM. The Swiss night was completely silent, but her mind was racing. It had been more than two hours since she spoke with Aiden, yet sleep was far away from her. The idea she was trying to understand felt dangerous—the scent, the timing, the strange sense of familiarity. Confronting Finn felt like standing on the edge of a cliff. If he said yes, if he admitted he was the stranger who had left her in a hotel room five years ago, then the gentle hope growing inside her would turn bitter. She would hate him. She wasn’t ready to face that truth, not yet.But the silence was crushing. She needed something to hold on to. She couldn’t carry it all by herself.She grabbed her phone. Taking a short breath, she decided to dial Alina's number.The phone rang three times before Alina answered, her voice slightly breathless over the background noise of children. "Mandy? Hey! This is a nice surprise. Is ever

    The silence on the line was heavy, but it wasn’t the anger Zayn had expected. When his grandfather finally spoke, his voice was calm, and filled with deep concern."Zayn, think about what you're saying. Jane told me she is pregnant... and this isn't just about feelings. This is about responsibility. A lifetime commitment is starting, whether you stand at an altar or not."Zayn closed his eyes, feeling the weight of that truth. “I know. I’ll be responsible. I’ll provide for the child, I’ll be there. But, Grandpa… I can't give her a lifetime. I can't marry her. It would be a lie. For both of us."His grandfather sighed wearily. “ People already know about your engagement. How can the one you love be at ease when there’s a chance they’ll be labeled a homewrecker in the future ? Her reputation will be ruined...what about Jane's family? What would they think of us?""I'll handle it," Zayn interrupted firmly now. "I'll face them. I'll take the blame, the scandal. All of it. But I won't sign

    Unable to bear it anymore, Zayn fumbled for the ignition key, his vision blurring. He had to leave immediately.But as he shifted the car into drive, he saw Finn lean in, saying something to Mandy. He then gently guided her back toward the open door of the mansion. Axel who was still perched in Finn’s chest, waved a small hand to the delivery guy who drove off. They disappeared inside together, the door closing softly behind them, locking in the perfect scene.That was it, Zayn thought, the finality crushing him. It was over.But it wasn’t.A moment later, Finn stepped back out alone onto the porch, pulled out his phone, put it to his ear, and stared directly down the dark, tree-lined drive.Right at Zayn’s car.A second later, Zayn’s own phone vibrated violently in the cup holder, lighting up the dark interior. The screen glared: FINN.His blood ran cold. He looked from the phone to the distant, shadowy figure of his friend.With a trembling hand, Zayn answered, but he didn’t speak

    Mandy shut her eyes tight, trying not to lash out.But the scent of his cologne— something familiar now tainted by memory— enveloped her. His chest was warm against her back, his breath stirred her hair. It was an intimacy that belonged to a different lifetime, one that felt like a violation now."Let go of me," she said coldly."I just… I need you to hear me," Zayn murmured into her hair, his voice ragged with an emotion she refused to name. "I need you to understand how sorry I am. Seeing you hurt, seeing your son cry because of me…"Mentioning Axel snapped her out of it. A fierce, maternal fire flared in her chest."You don’t get to talk about my son's reactions." she hissed. She didn’t struggle wildly; that would give him power. Instead, she brought her elbows down hard against the circle of his arms, breaking his hold. She spun around.Her eyes were still cold. "You have no right to care about me or him. And I don't need your apology. It doesn’t un-hear those words." She rubbed h

    A wide, breathless grin broke across Aiden's face. He stepped forward, closing the little distance between them and pulled her into a tight embrace, lifting her off her feet. He buried his face in her hair. "My gorgeous, big baby," he whispered against her ear.He set her down, his hands still on her waist, his eyes shining with mischief. “Actually, baby,” he murmured with a soft grin, "I want to be a dad of ten."Alina stared at him, her eyes widening in shock. Then she rolled her eyes so hard it looked like it hurt, let out a short, exasperated breath, and simply walked past him.She headed straight for the exit without another word, leaving Aiden standing there with his hopeful smile still on his face.He chuckled, shook his head, and scooped Raelynn up into his arms. "Come on, team. Let’s go before she actually kills me."They followed Alina out to the car. Her mind was replaying his words— dad of ten— on a frantic, dizzying loop as she slid into the passenger seat. Aiden helped t

    The silence in the grand living room was deafening. Zayn stared at Finn for a long moment, unsure of what to say no matter how he turned it over in his mind.The silence stretched on a bit longer, and Finn raised a brow at him."So, what do you say? Not sure?""You love her?" Zayn finally choked out, the word sounding foreign and corrosive. "You met her not long.""I knew the moment I saw her five years ago," Finn replied calmly. “I've just been waiting for the right moment to introduce myself, actually."Zayn felt the last pillar of his old life crumble."Like I said. Search yourself." Finn said again. "And then, whatever you find… Let me know. If you still like her, then I'll take a step back... if not, stay out of my way.""You want me to search myself that bad?" Zayn’s muttered, backing his friend.... "Fine. I saw her. It was… a shock. It brought up old memories, stupid college feelings that never went anywhere. That’s all it is." He turned back and looked directly at Finn. "The r
