Chapter 53

Sunday mornings were supposed to be calm and soft or maybe a little lazy. The kind where the world felt quiet enough for me to hear my own heartbeat but this morning wasn’t any of that. It wasn’t even close.

I woke with that hollow ache in my chest, the kind that doesn’t really fade no matter how many times you tell yourself you’re fine. I had been trying to convince myself for days that Nathan’s absence was just… space. That maybe he needed it. That maybe I needed it. But who was I

  • HE LEFT ME FOR MY STEPSISTER, I MOVED ON TO THE NEXT   Chapter 354

    Chapter 354“One!”The room exploded into noise.Cheers.Laughter.Champagne glasses clinking together.And then the fireworks began.The massive windows of the mansion lit up in bursts of gold, silver, and crimson as the sky outside came alive.For a moment, everyone rushed toward the windows like children.Carmen screamed excitedly.“Oh my God, look at that one!”Nathan laughed softly beside me as another firework exploded over the city skyline.The colors reflected across everyone’s faces, bathing the room in flickering light.Outside, snow continued to fall gently over Ravenswood.Inside, warmth wrapped around us all.Music played somewhere behind us.Slow.Soft.Happy.Ava stood tucked against Liam’s side, her wedding ring catching the light every time she moved her hand.She looked different now.

    Chapter 353 Liam reached into his pocket. The room seemed to hold its breath. And then………. He dropped to one knee. Ava gasped softly, her hands flying to her mouth. The ring caught the candlelight, sparkling with quiet brilliance. “Ava,” he said, his voice steady now, “will you marry me?” Time seemed to pause. No one moved. No one spoke. Ava just………… she just stared at him. Her eyes wide. Tears falling freely now. For a moment… she said nothing. And in that moment, I saw it…….. Fear……. Hope…….. Love……. All colliding inside her. Then she laughed softly through her tears. “You really chose Christmas?” Liam smiled faintly. “I wanted it to be unforgettable.” She shook her head slightly, overwhelmed. “You’re insane.” “Is that a yes?” Ava didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she stepped forward. And then……… “Yes.” The word was soft. But it echoed through the entire room. “Yes, Liam.” The silence shattered. Cheers erupted. Applause filled the room. Carmen

  • HE LEFT ME FOR MY STEPSISTER, I MOVED ON TO THE NEXT   Chapter 352

    Chapter 352I barely had time to react before she wrapped her arms around me.“Careful,” Lucian said from behind her, shaking his head. “You’re going to scare the baby.”“I’m not that fragile,” I laughed.Carmen pulled back slightly, her eyes immediately dropping to my stomach.“Still,” she said, softening, “we have to be careful.”Lucian greeted Nathan with a firm handshake, though the look they exchanged carried far more meaning than the gesture itself.A silent understanding…….. an aura of protection and maturity and they were both ready to stand for their respective families.Then came Ava.Elegant as always, but tonight there was something softer about her. The usual guarded sharpness in her expression had eased.And Liam followed close behind her.I noticed it immediately.The way he stayed just slightly closer to her than necessary.The way his eyes found her, even in a crowded room.Something was happening.And tonight… it was going to unfold.……………………….Dinner was set in the

    Chapter 351Nathan didn’t feel shocked, he must have felt it already.“You must be thinking that why am I asking for your permission, right?”“Exactly……. Am not her dad.”“You aren't…….. But you are a father figure in her life. Her parents and only brother died at such a young age living her all by herself. So right now, i can only ask you.”“Hmmmmm………. Alright then, Liam. If it was the previous Liam, I would be the first to object but you have proved your self to be capable ever since you came into our lives again.”“So……. Liam you have my permission…… But make sure you keep her happy always.”“Thank you so much brother, I will do all I can to ensure my woman is always happy.” Liam said hugging Nathan and almost fell him down.…………………….Winter arrived quietly………. But when it settled over the mansion, it transformed everything.The once warm tones of autumn gave way to silver frost and soft white mornings. The air carried a crispness that made every breath feel sharper, cleaner. nd in

  • HE LEFT ME FOR MY STEPSISTER, I MOVED ON TO THE NEXT   Chapter 350

    Chapter 350Later that night, I found Ava alone in the kitchen.“You like him,” I said casually.She nearly dropped the glass she was holding.“I do not.”“You do.”“I don’t.”“You smiled.”“I smile at people all the time.”“You don’t smile like that.”She narrowed her eyes on me.“You’re pregnant. You should be resting, not analyzing my facial expressions.”I smirked.“So you admit it.”“I admit nothing.”But the faint blush on her cheeks said everything.……………………Liam, on the other hand, had changed.He was calmer and more grounded.Less… reckless.One evening, I found him and Nathan in the study.They were talking quietly. It seemed like something serious.When I walked in, they both went silent.I became suspicious.“What are you two hiding?” I asked.“Nothing,” Nathan said immediately.Liam looked like he wanted to disappear.And then, I knew there was definitely something. Liam was my closest friend before so I knew him so well.But I didn’t push.Not yet.……………..Few months pas

    Chapter 349They all turned and looked at me wondering what it was.“Now what is this new plan again?” Lucian queried.“Yes, if you both have something to tell us, then go ahead, you are keeping us in suspense.” Liam said feeling frustrated.“Calm down guys, it's just a present that we got for you all, Ava, go ahead and open the present.”“Alright, finally let’s see what you both have been hiding from us” Ava said heading for the present.I and Nathan watched her unwrap it. We had our fingers crossed.When she finally unwrapped the gift, she found a beautiful baby set inside. She smiled and brought it out. Carmen managed to stand up and take a good look at the gift. “Oh…….. My God…….. This is so pretty. It's really a thoughtful gift……. But how are you both sure that we are having a girl” “Well…….. Ava, you need to check the box, something is still inside………..”“Elena…….. What do you have in store for us” Ava said with an expression that screamed like she was already frustrated………“J
