The air was thick with excitement as the awards ceremony reached its climax. The grand hall buzzed with energy, the flashing lights of cameras catching every angle of the designers, models, and industry professionals who had poured months of hard work into the competition. The atmosphere was electric, the crowd eagerly waiting for the final announcement—the winner of the year’s prestigious modeling competition.

The host stood at the podium, his charismatic voice booming through the venue, addressing the crowd with flair. “Ladies and gentlemen, before we announce tonight’s winner, let’s take a moment to thank all the incredible participants who have made this competition so remarkable. Without each of you, this show wouldn’t be the success it is today. A round of applause for all our competitors!”

The crowd erupted into applause, and the models and designers stood proudly, each one sharing in the collective pride of what had been a hard-fought competition. From the beginning, every one

  • Love and Crosses: What The Heart Wants   Chapter 94: A Kiss in the Silence

    The night air was cooler now. Riele stepped out of the restaurant with her arms folded against her chest, trying to hold herself together. Her eyes were dry, but inside, a storm brewed, one she didn’t have the strength to express. Her heels tapped softly against the pavement as she walked toward the curb.Just then, a familiar silhouette appeared under the streetlight. Jay.He said nothing at first. His eyes studied her face—her trembling lips, her tired eyes, the way her arms clutched her bag tightly like it held the pieces of her broken heart. She didn’t have to say anything either. Somehow, he already knew.Without hesitation, Jay stepped forward and pulled her gently into his arms.Riele didn’t resist. Her head rested on his shoulder, and for a moment, she allowed herself to breathe, really breathe. He smelled like fresh rain and cologne. Safe. Warm.From the corner of his eye, Jay caught a glimpse of Kim through the restaurant’s window, still seated, staring blankly at the space

  • Love and Crosses: What The Heart Wants   Chapter 93: The Goodbye She Chose

    Kim stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his collar for what must have been the tenth time. He couldn’t stop smiling. There was a softness in his eyes that had been missing for a long time. Today felt like the beginning of something... something he wasn’t sure he deserved but still hoped for.He picked up his watch and glanced at the time. He’d gone over the things he wanted to say in his head again and again. Every sentence, every apology, every memory—they all meant something. He wanted to say it right, for once. Maybe this would be the moment they started again.As he turned to leave the room, Jane stood at the door holding their baby. Her eyes were tired, and her voice was quiet.“Are you going somewhere?” she asked, watching him closely.Kim didn’t answer. He walked over to the crib, leaned in, and pressed a soft kiss on the baby’s forehead. The child stirred lightly, and Kim smiled again—but not at Jane. Without a word, he brushed past her and left the house.Jane stood still

  • Love and Crosses: What The Heart Wants   Chapter 92: Jane Visits Riele

    The clock ticked quietly in the corner as the soft hum of the ceiling fan filled the room. Riele was curled on the couch, her legs tucked beneath her. She and Harry had been talking for nearly an hour—just about anything and everything. Movies they used to watch as kids, their mother's old singing voice that filled the kitchen on Saturdays, and the ridiculous things Harry did in high school that got him grounded for a month."You remember when I broke dad’s vinyl player?" Harry asked, laughing. "And blamed it on the cat?"Riele chuckled. “Yeah, and you wrote a whole apology letter from the cat’s perspective. That was ridiculous.”“It worked, didn’t it?” Harry beamed proudly.She smiled, but her eyes still carried that shadow that never left lately. Harry noticed. He didn’t say anything. He just wanted to keep her laughing, even if just for a while.Just then, there was a knock on the door.Harry stood up, casually heading toward it. “Probably Charlotte dropping off something,” he mumb

  • Love and Crosses: What The Heart Wants   Chapter 91: Kim's Anger Towards Jane

    Kim stood outside his front door for a long moment, his hand resting on the handle. The cool evening breeze whispered against his skin, but the turmoil inside him burned hotter than ever. He inhaled, slowly, as if hoping the breath would clear his head. It didn’t.When he finally stepped inside, the soft glow of the hallway lights felt suffocating. The house was silent except for the gentle hum of the baby monitor placed on the side table. His feet dragged as he walked in, each step feeling heavier than the last.“Kim,” Jane’s voice rang out the moment she saw him. She hurried out from the living room, a soft smile playing on her lips. She looked tired, her hair in a loose bun and her eyes lined with exhaustion. Still, she tried to look presentable. “You’re back.”She moved toward him with open arms, the kind of welcome a wife would give her husband after a long day. Her steps were light, almost hopeful.But Kim didn’t slow down.He walked past her, his jaw clenched tightly. When she

  • Love and Crosses: What The Heart Wants   Chapter 90: How Long Do I have to Wait?

    Jay stepped into his apartment, loosening the buttons of his shirt as the quietness of home wrapped around him. It had been a long day. The confrontation with Kim still echoed in his thoughts, each word digging deeper into his heart than he liked to admit. But as he opened the door wider and caught a whiff of something warm and savory, his steps slowed. His brows furrowed in curiosity."Riele?" he called gently, his voice unsure.“In the kitchen,” her voice came back, soft, almost shy.Jay smiled.He walked in to find her setting two plates on the small dining table. It wasn’t anything elaborate—just rice and a simple sauce—but it was warm, and it was homemade. The steam rising from the plates looked like comfort, like something he didn’t know he needed until now.“You cooked?” he asked, a little stunned.Riele gave a half-smile and shrugged. “I found a few things in your pantry. Thought it would be nice to do something… ordinary. I didn’t want to sit around feeling sorry for myself.”

  • Love and Crosses: What The Heart Wants   Chapter 89: Jay's Last Warning

    Jay stepped into the modeling wing of Kim’s company, the familiar hum of early morning preparations echoing in the background. Staff moved about briskly—setting up lights, checking lens settings, fixing hair and touch-ups. The air smelled faintly of coffee, foundation, and freshly printed call sheets. It should have felt like a normal day, but Jay knew it wasn’t.He took a slow breath, adjusting the strap of his bag as he stepped further inside. He’d been gone for a while, but now, everything looked just as he left it—except for what had changed in him.“Jay!” a voice called from across the room.He turned and gave a nod, flashing a small smile to one of the junior stylists. He didn’t want attention. He wasn’t here to make a grand re-entry. He was here to do his job and to settle something that had lingered for far too long.Then the room seemed to freeze when Kim stepped in from the far hallway. Dark tailored shirt, sleeves rolled back with precise neatness, watch glinting on his wri
