Time had always moved quietly in our home.

Not loudly.

Just softly… like pages of a book turning one after another.

There were no warning bells when your children stopped being babies.

No announcement when the little hands that once clung to your fingers suddenly began reaching toward the world instead.

One day, they were learning to walk.

And the next…

They were walking away from you.

Not forever.

But far enough to remind you that they were growing into people of their own.

I noticed

  • Irresistible Sin   Chapter 106

    That night, after the proposal, we went home. And for the first time in a long time I felt… complete. There was a quiet kind of happiness settling inside me. not overwhelming. Just steady. As I drove us back home, my hand remained wrapped around Maui’s the entire time. I didn’t let go. Not once. The road stretched ahead of us, the city lights passing by in a blur, but my focus wasn’t on any of that. It was on her. On the warmth of her hand in mine. On the reality that everything had finally fallen into place. When we arrived at the house, I stepped out first and moved to her side immediately I helped her out of the car, my hand firm but gentle as I guided her inside. Neither of us spoke much. The silence between us wasn’t empty. It was full. We walked into the house and made our way upstairs, step by step. Until we finally reached our room. Once we were inside, I turned to her and hugged her, and she did the same. “Tired?” I asked her in a whis

    After I informed my parents about everything, I began planning my proposal to Maui, and it took almost two weeks to complete every detail. From the grand event with only a limited number of guests, to the ring I personally ensured was worth every cent I spent on it, to the surprise I carefully arranged one that included her mother and her sibling everything had to be precise. Nothing could be left to chance. Even what I was going to say to her, I rehearsed in my mind repeatedly. Over and over again. Testing every word until I was certain that when the moment came, I would not hesitate. When the day finally arrived, I could feel the weight of it in my chest. I told Maui we were simply going out for dinner. Nothing special. It was just a normal night. She had no idea what was waiting for her. When we arrived at the venue, everything appeared normal. Nothing out of place. Nothing that would raise suspicion at first glance. But I could clearly see the puzzled look on her fac

    Elijah POV Since the day I found out that Maui was carrying twins, one thing became clear to me Being prepared was no longer enough. Preparation had always been my strength. It was the foundation of everything I built. Every decision I made was calculated. Every outcome anticipated. Every possible risk identified and reduced before it even had the chance to exist. That was how I maintained control. That was how I ensured stability. That was how I survived in a world where uncertainty was a weakness. But this was different. Because no amount of preparation could fully account for two lives growing inside her. Maui was not something I could predict. Not something I could structure. Not something I could contain within systems and logic. And for the first time in a long time I wasn’t sure I wanted to. I stopped staying late at the office. Because I felt I have a responsibilities that required my direct attention decisions that could not be delegated, matt

    Maui POV I woke up before the sun. Not because I wanted to. But because something felt… off. At first, it was subtle. A faint discomfort low in my abdomen, like a tightening I couldn’t fully place. I stayed still for a few seconds, listening to the quiet of the room. Elijah was still asleep beside me. That still felt strange sometimes. Not the fact that he was there. But the fact that he stayed there. We had started sharing a room after I agreed to be with him officially. It wasn’t something we talked about too much. It just… happened. Like most things between us. Quiet decisions that turned into permanence without ceremony. I slowly sat up, careful not to wake him. The room was dim, soft light leaking through the curtains. Everything looked normal. But my body didn’t feel normal. I placed a hand on my stomach. Five months. Everything had been fine. Stable. Quiet. That’s what the doctor said last time. Stable. I repeated the word in my head like

    Time did something strange in the house. It didn’t move slowly the way I expected it to during pregnancy. Like the house itself had decided to stop announcing the days. And at some point, I stopped counting them. I only realized it later. Five months. Not just of pregnancy. But of everything. Five months since I started waking up and not immediately feeling sick. Five months since my body stopped fighting me every morning. And it became something I still don’t have a perfect word for. My partner. The thought still feels slightly unreal when I say it in my mind. Because I remember the exact moment it stopped being complicated. It's not dramatic. Not emotional in a loud way. Just a quiet decision I made one evening when he was sitting across from me like he always did silent, steady, observant, and I realized I was no longer bracing myself when he entered a room. That was it. That was the shift. I didn’t even announce it properly. I just said yes when he asked. And

  • Irresistible Sin   Chapter 101

    Maui POV I used to think mornings were the same no matter where you were. Light comes in. Air changes temperature. People start moving like they’ve already decided who they are for the day. But here, in this house, mornings feel… monitored. Like even silence has instructions. I woke up earlier than usual again. Not because I wanted to. But because my body has been doing this thing lately this quiet betrayal where sleep doesn’t feel like rest anymore. It feels like waiting. Four months. That number sits in my mind like a marker I didn’t agree to place there, but it’s there anyway. I slowly sat up in bed, one hand instinctively going to my stomach. Still small. But different now. Not flat. Not uncertain. Just… present. Real in a way I can’t ignore anymore. “Good morning, Ma’am.” I looked up. One of the staff was already outside my door. Of course they were. “I’m awake,” I answered softly. “Breakfast will be ready in ten minutes. Sir requested a lighter meal today ag

    Kael’s POV I held her closer than I had ever allowed myself to hold anyone. Her body fit against mine so naturally, so perfectly, that my pulse tripped over itself as if it had forgotten how to function. Her warmth seeped into me, her breath ghosting against my neck. And the moment her fingers

    Kael’s POV The office feels hollow now that she’s gone, but it’s not the quiet I’m used to. It’s a suspended kind of silence, one that presses against my chest and makes the air itself tremble. Every corner, every shadow reminds me of her of the way she just stood there, confident yet hesitant, da

    Kael’s POV Emotionally daring. Raw. Controlled, but breaking at the edges. The moment I woke up, I already knew today would be a mistake. Or… maybe it wouldn’t be. Maybe it already is. I haven’t really slept. I shut my eyes for hours, but every time I tried to wrestle my mind into silence,

    Ava’s POV The moment his office door closes behind us, the silence feels different. He’s only a few steps away, but the air between us is thick warm, charged, almost trembling with whatever he’s been holding back since last night. Kael is quiet. Too quiet. He walks toward his desk slowly, d
