HIS COLD DENIAL: Love After Divorce EPILOGUE
Two Years LaterThe estate was loud again.Not the polished kind of loud that came with business dinners and charity galas.Not the carefully controlled noise of wealth.This was different.Warmer.The sound of tiny feet running across marble floors.The sound of crayons rolling beneath furniture.The sound of a little girl discovering she could ask "why?" about absolutely everything and refusing to stop.Alvara stood near the living room window with one hand resting beneath the curve of her stomach.Six months pregnant.Slightly uncomfortable.Constantly hungry.And happier than she had ever imagined possible.Outside, the late afternoon sunlight stretched across the gardens.Winter in Auremont had always felt softer than Eldoria's.Golden instead of grey.Gentle instead of cruel.She shifted carefully and smiled.Two years.Sometimes it still felt impossible.Two years since the wedding.Two years since becoming Alvara Hawthorne.Two years since learning that love wasn't supposed t

The Life I Thought I'd LostCountry: AurivelleCity: Auremont( A Month After The Honeymoon)AlvaraFor two days, I had been pretending I was fine.Which was impressive considering I had thrown up three times yesterday and nearly cried this morning because the coffee smelled “too loud.”Isabella had stared at me sitting across me in my office yesterday afternoon and said very calmly:“You’re pregnant.”And I had immediately replied:“I’m literally not.”“You’re glowing.”“ That was the exact thing you said before.”“ It's different this time around”“I’m exhausted.”“You cried because Seren stapled papers aggressively.”“She stapled them with hostility.”Isabella had looked at me for a very long moment.“Alvara.”“What?”“You’re pregnant.”“I’m not.”“You’re married.”“That is how marriage works, yes.”“You disappeared on your honeymoon for a month.”“I was busy.”“With what?”I had narrowed my eyes on her“ You were having sex.”I had thrown a fabric sample at her head.Now unfortun

Where The World EndsCountry: ItalyCity: Lake ComoGraysonMy wife was asleep beside me.That thought alone nearly stopped my breathing every time it returned.My wife.Mine.Legally.Completely.Forever.Morning light filtered softly through the curtains of our suite at Blackthorne Estate, pale gold across the sheets and the bare curve of Alvara’s shoulder beneath them.I watched her quietly.Still asleep.One hand beneath her cheek.Her wedding rings caught faintly in the sunlight.She looked peaceful.The kind earned after surviving enough to finally believe happiness would stay.Something in my chest tightened painfully at the sight.I reached out before thinking.My fingers brushing lightly against her wrist.Warm skin.Soft breathing.Real.Her lashes fluttered slightly.Then slowly she opened her eyes.Sleepy.Beautiful.Immediately finding me.“What time is it?” she murmured softly.“Early.”“How early?”“Too early for questions.”She laughed quietly and shifted closer automa

Until The End Of MeCountry: AurivelleCity: AuremontAlvaraI woke before sunrise.Not because of nerves.Not because of noise.But because today existed.And somehow my body understood that before my mind fully did.For a moment I stayed still beneath the sheets.Looking up at the ceiling of my suite.Listening to the soft quiet around me.Today I was going to marry Grayson Hawthorne.The thought moved through me slowly.Warmly.Deep enough that I had to close my eyes for a second afterward.A soft knock came at the door.Then another.Not patient.Definitely Isabella.I laughed quietly before even getting up.“Come in.”The door opened immediately.Isabella stepped inside dramatically already dressed in silk pajamas.Behind her came Vivienne carrying coffee.Seren carrying garment bags.And three makeup artists who looked both excited and terrified to be here.“There she is,” Isabella said immediately, pressing her hands dramatically against her chest. “The bride.”“You’re behaving

The Night Before ForeverCountry: AurivelleCity: AuremontAlvaraThe restaurant overlooked the water.Glass walls.Soft music somewhere in the background.The kind of place designed for slow evenings and expensive conversations.But tonight it felt strangely private.Like the entire city had stepped back and left only us behind.Candles flickered softly across the table between us.Gold light against crystal glasses.Against Grayson’s face.Against the silver watch at his wrist.I looked at him quietly from across the table.Tomorrow I am going to marry him.The thought still did something impossible to my chest every single time it returned.Something softer and fuller.Something that felt dangerously close to peace.Grayson noticed me looking.His mouth curved slightly.“What?” he asked.“Nothing.”“That expression means it’s something.”I smiled faintly and picked up my wine glass.“You’re very observant.”“You’re very expressive.”“I’m not.”“You are with me.”The way he said it

The Shape Of Forever Country: AurivelleCity: AuremontAlvaraWe’d been back from Morocco for two days.Two days back in Auremont.Back to schedules. Meetings. Emails. The atelier. Dane Properties. Traffic. Calls from Seren before nine in the morning.Everything was exactly where I’d left it.And somehow, I wasn’t.That was the strange part.Nothing around me had changed.But something inside me had gone quiet in a way I hadn’t realised it needed to.Japan and Amsterdam had softened me.Morocco had slowed me down even more.A whole week of waking up beside Grayson without rushing anywhere. Eating late breakfasts. Wandering unfamiliar streets hand in hand. Falling asleep tangled against him while he talked about things that didn’t matter and somehow mattered completely.It had done something to me.Something subtle.Something permanent.Grayson noticed it before I did.The morning we landed back in Auremont, he looked at me across the car and said,“You’re quieter.”I’d frowned. “I’m

What It Was All For Country: AurivelleCity: Auremont AlvaraI woke up at seven thirty.Later than yesterday.My body had decided, apparently, that it had earned the extra hour.I lay there for a moment.The ceiling.
