Eliana's pov

The first Monday after Lucian arrived, I woke up to the sound of giggles and a crash.

I found them — Micah, Zaya, and Lucian — on the kitchen floor, a box of cereal exploded between them like confetti. Three pairs of sticky hands, three bright faces, three voices insisting they’d clean it up if I didn’t tell Dad.

Adrian watched from the doorway, arms folded, trying to look stern. But the corner of his mouth betrayed him.

“You know this means we need a bigger house, right?” he said when I walked over.

I raised an eyebrow. “Why? So they can spill cereal in more rooms?”

“So they can grow,” he said, softer now. “Together. Without all this shadow on their backs.”

I glanced back at the boys and my daughter — my three little suns — and for one flicker of a second, the ghosts in the walls felt like they’d finally shut up.

Vanessa was the next surprise.

She arrived just as I’d herded the kids to the backyard to burn off their sugar buzz. She didn’t b

  • His Accidental Mrs    Chapter 150 — After the Storm

    The first morning we woke up without court papers stacked on the nightstand, the sky looked softer somehow — pale, peach-tinted, like it knew how tired we were and decided to hold its sun a little longer behind the clouds.Adrian was still asleep beside me, one arm draped over my waist, his breath warm against my shoulder. For a moment, I just lay there listening to the quiet. No calls. No door slamming open with another emergency. No threat slithering through the window in the shape of a forged document or a poisoned rumor.Just us. Still here. Still whole.I traced my fingertip along his jaw, down the small scar near his temple — the one he got when he fell off his bike at twelve and refused stitches. I’d heard that story so many times it felt like one of my own memories.His lashes fluttered. He caught my hand before I could pull away and pressed it to his lips. Eyes still closed, he mumbled, “You’re watching me sleep again.”“You snore when you lie on your side.”“I do not.”“Yo

  • His Accidental Mrs    Chapter 149 — The Last Witness

    Eliana's pov The gavel sounded like thunder in the packed Miami courthouse.It echoed off marble floors, off breath held too tight for too long. I didn’t move. Didn’t breathe. Didn’t look at Eliora, sitting stiff in her chair with that same defiant tilt of her chin — but her eyes… her eyes were rimmed with red now. The smirk was gone. The threats were gone. All that remained was the last flicker of a flame running out of fuel.Consuelo stood tall by my side. Adrian’s hand pressed against mine under the table, warm and steady. Vanessa, at the back, gave me the smallest nod — the same nod that had gotten me through all of this. Tara sat with Lucian curled into her arms, his small head tucked under her chin like a promise that the worst was finally behind us.“Before I issue my final ruling,” the judge said, “I will hear the last testimony.”The doors at the back of the court creaked open. I turned — and there she was.Nanny Rose.Gray hair tied back in a neat bun. Thin, birdlike should

  • His Accidental Mrs    Chapter 148 — The Mother in the Mirror

    Tara's pov I hadn’t planned to come back.That’s the truth I can’t say out loud when Eliana hugs me at the door, when Micah wraps his arms around my leg like he’s always known I’m part of this house. I didn’t plan to stand here again, on marble floors that feel too cold, in air that smells like lavender and old secrets.I planned to run.But every road I took away from Lucian bent back toward him. No matter how far I drove, I saw him in the rearview mirror — small face pressed against the glass, eyes too wise for a child born in a lie.When Vanessa called, I almost didn’t answer.But the thing about shadows is — they grow when you turn your back. And I couldn’t let mine swallow my son.He doesn’t know what I am to him. Not really.He knows I’m Tara. He knows I hold him differently from the others. That sometimes my hands shake when they smooth down his hair, that sometimes I look at him like he’s the only thing left between me and the dark.He doesn’t know I carried him under my ribs

  • His Accidental Mrs    Chapter 147 — The Shadow Knows

    Vanessa's povSometimes I wonder when exactly I became part of their family. It wasn’t when Adrian hired me — that was just business. It wasn’t when Eliana first sat across from me with her eyes rimmed red, voice trembling about a switch no one could ever know. That was the beginning of trust, but not family.No. It was the first time I realized I’d kill for them — quietly, cleanly, with no apology. That’s when it shifted. That’s when this turned from a job into something I’d burn every bridge for. ****************I was standing in the hallway outside my condo’s tiny kitchen when my phone buzzed — an encrypted signal, one I’d taught Eliana to use when she couldn’t speak freely. It lit up my screen: ALMOND.My throat tightened. I hated that code word — it meant urgent, now, no time for small talk.I didn’t bother with shoes. I grabbed my bag, my gun from the lockbox by the fridge, and my laptop. The sun was bleeding gold through the blinds but it felt like night in my ch

  • His Accidental Mrs    Chapter 146 — The Edges of the Map

    Eliana's pov By mid-morning, the house smelled like coffee and toast and that sweetness that only comes when children sleep too late for the first time in weeks. I watched Adrian move through the kitchen, barefoot, sleeves rolled up, as if the weight of courtrooms and traitors and buried secrets had finally slid off his shoulders overnight.Maybe it had.Or maybe we were just pretending.I didn’t care. Pretending felt like hope.Around noon, a knock rattled the front door — three quick raps, sharp and out of place against the soft hush of our Miami street.Adrian froze. We’d gotten used to knocks meaning threats — court summons, nosy reporters, or Eliora’s next half-dead messenger. But this one didn’t carry that chill.Vanessa stood on the porch, sunglasses perched on her head, holding a paper bag like she’d just come from the bakery down the street.“You look like you haven’t slept,” Adrian said.“I haven’t,” she shot back, brushing past him and into the foyer. She dropped the bag o
