Colton sat in his car, his fingers drumming lightly on the steering wheel. His eyes were locked on the building across the street—the lab where he had just submitted a DNA sample for testing. The necklace, the story, and Maya’s background… everything pointed to one truth.

But he needed confirmation.

And to get that, he needed another sample. A real one.

He didn’t want to scare Maya or make her suspicious, so he decided on a simple plan—get close to her. Talk to her casually. Earn her trust. And maybe, if the moment was right, take a single strand of hair—just enough for the test.

He sent her a message.

“Hey, feel like catching up tonight? There’s a nice little bar downtown. Just a chat. My treat.”

To his surprise, Maya replied within minutes.

“Sure. I could use a break.”

Later that evening, Maya stepped out of a taxi and walked into the small, cozy bar Colton had suggested. It wasn’t crowded—just a few people talking quietly over drinks. The lighting was soft, and a slow tune played

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   The Space Between

    Maya stepped into her apartment and gently closed the door behind her. The quiet click echoed through the empty space, reminding her of just how peaceful—yet lonely—this place could be. She dropped her keys into the ceramic bowl by the entrance and let out a soft sigh.Her time at the Denovan home had been warm and full of emotion. Laughter, hugs, home-cooked meals, and the joyful discovery of a family she never knew she had. It all felt like something out of a dream.But now, she was back to reality.Earlier that morning, her parents had tried to convince her to stay.“You don’t have to go,” Mrs. Denovan had said, holding Maya’s hand tightly. “This is your home.”Colton added with a teasing smile, “Come on, sis. What’s the rush? Stay a few more days.”Even Anika had begged her to stay. But Maya had gently smiled and shaken her head.“I just need a little time,” she said softly. “I’m not ready yet. I want to figure things out before the world finds out I’m your daughter.”They had und

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   A Morning of Laughter and Truth

    Maya slowly opened her eyes to the soft morning light shining through the curtains. She blinked and looked around the cozy bedroom. Then she felt something warm beside her. Turning her head, she saw Anika sleeping peacefully, curled up against her with her little arms wrapped around Maya’s waist.A smile spread across Maya’s face. Her heart felt full. This was the first time in a long while that she woke up feeling so happy, calm, and loved.She stayed still for a moment, just watching Anika breathe gently. Then Anika stirred, rubbed her eyes, and looked up at her mom.“Good morning, Mommy,” Anika said with a sleepy voice.“Good morning, sweetheart,” Maya whispered back, brushing Anika’s hair with her fingers.Anika yawned and sat up. “I had a really good dream,” she said.“Oh?” Maya asked with a smile. “What was it about?”“We were all eating cake and laughing. You, me, Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Colton. We were all so happy.”Maya chuckled. “That sounds like a perfect dream.”Anika

After weeks of quiet investigation, private visits, and waiting, he finally had the truth.The DNA results were clear.Maya was his sister.His long-lost baby sister.He stared at the papers, almost unable to believe it. All this time, she had been so close, living her life with no idea of who she really was. Colton felt a wave of emotion wash over him—relief, happiness, and something deeper. A piece of his heart that had been missing for years had finally been found.Without waiting another moment, he grabbed his phone and car keys and headed straight to the Denovan estate.⸻When he arrived, the Denovan couple was sitting in the living room. They looked up as he walked in, and something in his face made them sit up straighter.“You found something,” Mr. Denovan said.Colton gave a small nod and walked toward them. He placed the folder gently on the table in front of them. “It’s her,” h

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   Days to Remember

    The morning was quiet and soft. Maya stood by the window of her living room, holding a warm cup of tea. Elias was still asleep on the couch, one arm covering his face. He had insisted on staying the night, just in case she felt overwhelmed again after the letter from the orphanage. But Maya had felt comforted just by having him nearby.She smiled as she watched him sleep. There was something peaceful about him in that moment, something gentle. Her heart felt warm.When Elias finally stirred and sat up, rubbing his eyes, Maya greeted him with a quiet laugh. “Morning, sleepyhead.”Elias blinked a few times, then smiled back at her. “Morning. Did you sleep okay?”“I did,” she said softly. “Thanks for staying.”He stretched, then stood up. “You’re welcome. I wasn’t going to leave you alone after yesterday.”They ate a light breakfast together—toast, eggs, and fruit. Maya wasn’t sure what the day would bring, but it already felt special.After breakfast, Elias turned to her. “Hey, want to

    The day had been long, but now the evening was theirs.Maya walked beside Elias, feeling strangely relaxed. The sky was dimming, and the air was cool and gentle. They had just stepped out of her apartment, and she still wasn’t quite sure where he was taking her.“I still can’t believe you planned this,” she said, glancing up at him. “You’ve been acting suspicious all day.”Elias grinned. “I just wanted to do something nice for you. No surprise guests this time—just the two of us.”Maya raised a brow. “Promise?”“Promise,” he replied, placing a hand on his chest. “Scout’s honor.”They both laughed as they got into his car. The drive was calm, the streets quiet. Soft music played in the background, and Maya let herself enjoy the stillness. She didn’t ask where they were going. For once, she liked the mystery.After a few minutes, Elias pulled into a narrow side road and parked in front of a small garden café tucked behind a wooden gate. String lights hung between the trees, and the gent
