A dull ache rose in their chests.They couldn't help wondering why every mother they had ever had eventually left."Dad?" Adrian's voice was barely ab
Lauren let out a laugh right after.Perhaps some people just weren't meant to be together.So, after the family event, she invited Carter and the kids out to dinner. The restaurant she chose was on the pricier end, and she'd planned to spend half a month's salary on that one meal.At dinner, Arielle

Connor had now become the perfect cautionary tale.Kate's cheeks burned with embarrassment.Most of her colleagues were only friendly to her because of her connection to Sawyer, who happened to be Damian's friend.They flattered her, but deep down, Kate knew just how much envy they held toward her.
"Honey, welcome back!"The moment Kate heard that Sawyer was on his way home, she was already waiting by the door.She truly cared for him. She wanted nothing more than to be a devoted, loving wife. Outside, she carried herself with elegance and poise, but at home, she was willing to shed her glamou
Kate didn't go back to the Pearson residence.
