Riele stirred from sleep slowly, her limbs stretching lazily against soft sheets. For a moment, everything was still, a blank page between dreams and reality. Then came the sound—faint, bright, bubbling.

Laughter.

Giggles, too.

She blinked open her eyes. That voice—Charlotte. And that laugh… Harry’s. She sat up halfway, blinking as she tried to get her bearings. She rubbed her eyes, then turned toward the window where morning light filtered through the curtains. In the distance, more laughter. A tiny voice giggled, squealed. That had to be Hope.

Her heart fluttered, caught between warmth and confusion. How did she get here? The last thing she remembered was being in Jay’s car. Had he carried her in? Why didn’t he wake her? She scanned the room, her clothes from yesterday hung neatly on the back of a chair. Her phone was charging beside the bed. Everything was in place.

Except her thoughts.

She pushed the blanket away and headed to the bathroom. The shower was warm against her skin, bu

  • Love and Crosses: What The Heart Wants   Chapter 100: The Proposal

    Jay had barely set his phone down when he turned to Riele with that playful glint in his eyes. “So, where would you love to go this weekend?”Riele looked up from the book she was pretending to read and tilted her head, thoughtful. “A movie,” she said suddenly, a small smile tugging at her lips. “It’s been a while.”Jay grinned. “Say no more. I’ll find the best one in town.”True to his word, by that evening, Jay had already booked their seats—VIP lounge, middle row, perfect view. He texted her the details with a wink emoji, and she replied with a shy heart.On the day of the movie, Jay arrived promptly at Riele’s house, dressed in a soft grey shirt that hugged his shoulders and dark jeans. He looked like someone out of a fashion ad but carried himself like it was the most natural thing in the world. His cologne lingered in the air like a promise.Charlotte opened the door before Riele could, arms crossed, one brow raised. “Ah, so this is the famous Jay,” she teased. “Taking my girl o

  • Love and Crosses: What The Heart Wants   Chapter 99: You get Only Chance

    Kim had just finished going through a few reports in his office when he heard it—quiet laughter, the kind people tried to suppress when they knew they were gossiping but couldn’t help themselves. He paused, his pen mid-air, and cocked his head toward the door. The voices weren’t unfamiliar—two junior staff from the marketing team and one from HR. Their conversation filtered faintly through the slightly open door.“I told you there was something going on between them,” one said between laughs.“They look good together,” another chimed in. “I saw the video this morning—Jay and Riele? Chemistry on another level.”“Did you see how she smiled at him? Girl’s in love.”Kim frowned. Jay? Riele?He stood from his chair and opened his door completely. The three employees froze, guilt flashing across their faces as they looked up to find their boss staring at them.“What video?” Kim asked, his voice calm but sharp enough to cut tension. “Show me.”They exchanged looks, hesitating, until one of t

    Jay zipped up his suitcase and looked around the apartment one last time. Every corner held a piece of memory—some recent, some old. The folded blanket on the couch reminded him of Riele asleep just nights ago, her hair spread across the pillow like a poem unfinished. The faint scent of her perfume still lingered in the room, fragile and fleeting.He sighed and reached for his phone, unlocking it with shaky fingers. He opened their message thread, his thumb hovering for a second. Then, he typed:“I’ll be at the airport in a few hours. Terminal 4, Gate 6. I hope I see you.”He didn’t want to beg. He didn’t want to sound desperate. But somewhere in the silence of that message, he had tucked all his longing and vulnerability. He stared at the screen for a heartbeat before hitting send.Maybe she’d see it. Maybe she wouldn’t. Either way, he had to go.He picked up his bags and walked out, shutting the door behind him like someone sealing off a chapter.The airport was loud. People wheeled

    The soft sizzle of eggs in the frying pan filled the kitchen with warmth. Morning sunlight filtered through the blinds, casting golden stripes across the white tiles. Jane stood at the stove, gently flipping the omelet, her mind wandering as it usually did—wondering what the day would be like, wondering if Kim would even eat with her, wondering if the smiles he’d given her lately meant anything real.Then she felt it—arms, warm and firm, wrap around her waist from behind.She froze.Her breath caught in her throat, the spatula slipping from her fingers and landing on the counter with a light clink. Slowly, she turned her head, her heart thudding hard in her chest.Kim.He was smiling softly, forehead resting lightly against her temple, like the weight between them had finally loosened.“Morning,” he said, his voice low.Jane blinked, stunned. “Morning,” she whispered back, unsure if she was dreaming.Their baby’s cry broke the stillness. Kim gently let go and nodded toward the bedroom

  • Love and Crosses: What The Heart Wants   Chapter 95: Teach me How to Love You

    Kim staggered through the front door, the sharp scent of whiskey trailing after him like an unwanted memory. His coat was draped carelessly over one shoulder, his shirt untucked and half-buttoned, and his tie dangled from his pocket like an afterthought. The silence of the house wrapped around him, yet it felt deafening—too quiet for a home, too hollow for comfort.Jane looked up from the couch as the door creaked. Her heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t heard from him all day. For a moment, she feared something had happened. But there he was, physically, at least. His steps were unsteady, his eyes distant, pain etched into the corners of his mouth.“Kim,” she called gently, rising to her feet.He didn’t answer. Instead, he walked past her with slow, heavy steps. But then, just as she reached for his arm, he stopped. Her hand met his sleeve.Kim turned to her with weary eyes, red-rimmed and raw from emotion, and whispered, “Teach me how to love you.”Jane froze. Her breath caught in her
