The rain has begun once again and the chapel fell into stillness, save for the faint hum of the rain brushing against the stained-glass windows. The minister’s voice had barely faded when Hugh Lawson rose to his feet. For a moment, all anyone could hear was the creak of the old wooden pew as he stepped out from it. Then silence, again.

Annabelle held her breath.

Hugh moved slowly toward the pulpit, not with the ease of a man in control, but like someone dragging the weight of an entire life behind him. His gray suit was immaculate, his tie straight. Yet there was something frayed about him—his hands trembled slightly as they gripped the podium, and when he looked up, his eyes seemed older than they had days ago. He cleared his throat once, but even that seemed rehearsed.

“My son,” he began, his voice low, worn, and a little unsteady. “Damian was... many things.”

A pause. A rustle in the seats behind him.

“He was brilliant. Stubborn. Soft-hearted in ways he didn’t always show.

  • Forbidden Desires: Falling For My Fiance's Brother   Chapter 101: Ella [pt. 2]

    The next morning, Annabelle and Devon woke up late, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains as they reluctantly emerged from their slumber. The restful night had turned into a rushed morning, with the entire household buzzing with a sense of urgency as everyone scrambled to prepare for the day ahead. Ella, an early riser by nature, had already been up for hours. She was in the kitchen, a smile on her face, as she joined the staff members who were bustling about to prepare a hearty breakfast. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon filled the air, mingling with the sweet scent of pancakes cooking on the stove. Meanwhile, Annabelle and Devon, still half-asleep, scrambled out of bed and hurried to get ready, eager to join the rest of the family before the morning rush was over. “Wow, Ella, you really didn’t have to do this!” Annabelle exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise as she gazed at the stack of perfectly golden pancakes, drizzled with syrup and top

    A week had passed and Annabelle sat at her desk in her office, engrossed in a stack of reports that needed her attention. The sunlight streamed through the large windows, casting warm beams across her organized workspace. Just then, her personal assistant and close friend, Rose, entered the room with a light knock. Her cheerful demeanor was evident as she approached, a hint of concern flickering in her eyes. "Hey, Annabelle," Rose said, her voice bright yet soft. "I thought we should take a moment to talk." She leaned against the door frame, crossing her arms as she studied Annabelle's focused expression. Rose had always been attuned to her friend's moods, and today felt like the right time to check in. Annabelle looked up, shaking off her thoughts, and smiled warmly, inviting Rose to step further into the room. “What’s weighing on Rose’s mind?” “We have a friend who specializes in creating stunning women’s suits. She happens to be in town right now, and I think it would be a g

    This weekend, Annabelle and Devon made a conscious decision to prioritize their family time, setting aside all work obligations and distractions. Annabelle packed away her laptop and silenced her phone, determined to fully immerse herself in the quality moments with her loved ones. They planned a series of activities that would allow them to reconnect and create lasting memories, taking advantage of the beautiful weather and each other's company. Whether it was enjoying a picnic in the park, playing board games at home, or going for a leisurely hike, their focus was entirely on strengthening their bonds as a family. "Camille, we can't just sit here! What should we do?" Annabelle urged, her voice laced with urgency. “You're asking a one-year-old girl for options, you really need her to grow up, don't you?” Devon said and burst into laughter. “Of course, so we can have some girly time,” Annabelle responded, smiling. “Ouch, I feel left out, I need a son,” Devon said, laughing. After

Today marked the beginning of her journey as the mayor of her beloved town, a dream she had nurtured for years and now, at long last, had become a reality.
