"Mommy, mommy..."

I felt myself getting shaken awake, so I opened my eyes, only to see Andy standing next to me. I looked around and found myself in the living room, sitting on the floor while leaning my head against the couch.

Andy looked at me with wide eyes. "Did you sleep here, mommy?"

I smiled and nodded, reaching for a hug. He did so without any complaints. Last night, I thought hard about what Sarah had told me. I stayed in the living room to think about it for a while, but I must have ended up passing out here.

I broke from his hug, only to see him with teary eyes. My eyes widened slightly, and he tried to wipe them as quickly as possible. However, I held onto his arms and looked at him with furrowed eyebrows.

"What happened?" I asked. "Are you hurt?"

He shook his head. "Mommy is hurting, though."

My heart felt like it stopped. I pursed my lips and shook my head. "Why would you say that? Why would I get hurt when you're here?"

"But you're tired, mommy," he said

    SEQUEL ANNOUNCEMENT After much deliberation (and after so many of you asked and nudged), I’ve finally decided—it’s time to tell Andy’s story.This isn’t a spin-off. It’s a full book of its own. Though it might not be as long as the original, I promise it’s still going to be a hefty and heartfelt read. I’ll be diving right into it starting tomorrow, so mark your calendars.I genuinely can’t express how grateful I am for the support I’ve received for this series. Even through my inconsistencies and quiet moments, you stayed, read, left comments, and cheered me on. It means the world.So here’s what to expect:- First-person POV with alternating perspectives between our male and female leads- College setting- Young Adult Romance- Pining- Hurt/Comfort- Innocent toneYou’ll get to see Andy through his own eyes this time: the boy who grew up in silence, who learned to bury love before it could grow, now trying to navigate feelings he never thought he’d have room for. And you’ll meet h

    ISLA“I swear, if you’re not dating him by next month, I’ll eat a spoonful of wasabi,” May said, pointing her chopsticks at me like they were weapons.“I second that,” Krista added with a wide smile. “Isla and Theo. It’s giving childhood-friends-to-lovers energy.”“We’re not lovers!” I sputtered, choking on my boba tea.Krista snorted. “Okay, but weren’t you married back then? Theo said you were.”“That was when we were five!” I groaned, burying my face in my hands. “He made a ring out of some wildflowers and declared it in our backyard. That doesn’t count!”“Oh, but you never took it back,” May teased.I peeked at them through my fingers. “I had no choice, okay? Our parents are friends. We grew up together. We were just always... there.”“Mmhmm,” Krista said, completely unconvinced. “And now you’re still always there.”“Really romantic of him to share his fries with only you yesterday,” May added, twirling her drink.“It was one fry,” I muttered.Both of them cackled while I wallowed

  • His Secret Heir, His Deepest Regret   Special Chapter 10: Just Married

    The mansion was unusually warm that afternoon—not from the sunlight pouring through the tall windows, but from the sheer number of baby toys scattered across the marble floors and the smell of fresh food wafting from the kitchen.For once, the dads had done it all. The long dining table was perfectly set, the centerpieces arranged, drinks poured, and dishes hot. The wives were banned from lifting a single finger.“You’re the queens today,” Evan had declared earlier, with a dramatic bow. “No objections.”Sarah and Julia didn’t argue, of course. But they feared for the quality of the food they were going to eat.Outside, Isla and Theo were waddling around the backyard, giggling as they chased bubbles floating through the air. Sarah was lounging on the sun chair, sunglasses on and juice in hand, while Julia trailed behind the kids with a camera. The squeals of joy filled the air like music.Inside, the kitchen was a scene of chaos. Evan wiped his hands on a towel and gave the roasted chi

    EVANThey always say pregnancy is a beautiful journey. I agreed to it—to some extent.However, it was also chaos. Pure, raging, hormonal chaos.Sarah and Julia were pregnant at the same time. That alone sounded absurd. We were happy, of course, but then, the disasters came.“I think I’m craving sour mangoes dipped in soy sauce and also maybe bubblegum,” Julia said one night as she lay on the couch, glaring at the ceiling.The worst part was that Rui got dragged into it too. Sarah had even worse cravings.So there we were—me and Rui—sitting in the car at 1:43 a.m., waiting for a drive-thru employee to hand us two of the weirdest snack combos anyone’s ever imagined.Rui let out a low laugh, completely delirious. “We’ve been out every night this week. I’m starting to think we’re the ones nesting.”I passed him his bag of pickle-flavored chips and peanut M&Ms. “You think?”He sighed, looking out the window. “It was supposed to be a happy time.”I nodded. “And instead, it’s a war zone.”We

    SARAHThe beeping was the first thing I heard. Then the smell of the hospital invaded my senses.My eyes fluttered open slowly. The ceiling was unfamiliar. I tried to sit up but felt the tug of something in my arm. It was an IV.With that, I turned my head and saw Rui sitting by my bedside. His hair was messy, and he looked like he hadn’t slept. There were faint shadows under his eyes, and he was wearing the same shirt from yesterday, now wrinkled.His eyes widened the moment he saw me awake.“Sarah,” he breathed, leaning in quickly. “Hey, hey—thank goodness.”I blinked, still dazed. “What… happened?”“You fainted, my love. You scared the hell out of me.” He reached out, brushing hair from my forehead with shaking fingers. “They said you were dehydrated, stressed, and…”I closed my eyes for a second. He must have known about it already.Rui hesitated. Then, softly, “You’re pregnant.”I didn’t answer. Instead, I looked away, focusing on the IV line in my arm.“Sarah,” he said again, vo

    SARAHI lit the last candle on the dining table and stepped back to look at everything one final time. The roast was done. The vegetables were warm. The wine opener was next to the fresh bottle of wine. And the soft music in the background made our apartment very romantic.We had moved here just this year, and Rui shouldered every cost even though I got promoted to Heath’s position. I never thought it would come to this, but here I was—living a very comfortable life.Everything felt perfect, except, nothing ever was. And in our four years of being together, it was impossible for everything to be smooth sailing.I look at my reflection in the mirror in the living room. I even wore the dress he liked—the navy blue one with the low back.The door clicked open. I turned, my heart racing, but the moment I saw him, it fell just a little.Rui looked exhausted.His tie was half undone, his blazer slung over one arm, and his hair was a mess—he must’ve run his hands through it too many times.
