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

  • Love and Crosses: What The Heart Wants   Chapter 104: A Mother's Wish

    Jay had just finished sorting some paperwork in his study when his phone began to buzz. He glanced at the screen—“Mom.” A smile tugged at the corner of his lips. He hadn’t spoken to her in a few days, not since he mentioned Riele’s proposal acceptance. Sitting back in his chair, he answered the call.“Hello, Mom.”“Jay,” came the warm, steady voice on the other end. “I’ve been waiting for you to call me. How are you, my son?”Jay leaned back, a gentle smile spreading across his face. “I’m good, Mom. Things have been… peaceful.”There was a pause, and then a chuckle. “Peaceful? That’s not something I usually hear from you. Is this because of Riele?”Jay’s cheeks warmed. “Maybe. Actually… yeah. She said yes.”“Oh my goodness.” His mother let out a gleeful laugh that made Jay's heart swell. “Finally! I knew she would. I could feel it in your voice when you spoke about her. You sounded different.”Jay laughed softly. “I do feel different. Happier. Like I can breathe.”“I’ve waited for thi

  • Love and Crosses: What The Heart Wants   Chapter 102: All in the Past Now

    The front door swung open with an easy creak, and Charlotte’s cheerful voice rang through the hallway before she even stepped in.“Guess who brought the best cupcakes in town!” she announced, holding up a small white box as Riele and Jay stepped into the living room behind her, laughter already bubbling in their throats.Utter appeared from the kitchen, wiping his hands on a towel. “You brought cupcakes and didn’t bring drinks to go with them? What kind of hospitality is this?”Charlotte rolled her eyes and handed the box to him. “You’ve got juice, don’t you?”Jay chuckled and set his keys on the side table. “She’s got a point. Cupcakes are meant to be chased with something cold.”“I’ll take care of it,” Riele offered, moving toward the kitchen, and Charlotte followed. They talked softly, moving around like they had done this a thousand times—comfortably, naturally.Utter and Jay took seats in the living room, their conversation light, mostly filled with subtle jabs and shared laughte

  • Love and Crosses: What The Heart Wants   Chapter 101: Kim's Change of Heart

    Kim stood in the kitchen, moving from the stovetop to the counter with surprising ease for someone who rarely cooked. A hint of golden sunlight filtered through the blinds, casting soft lines across the floor. The scent of sizzling eggs, grilled tomatoes, and toasted bread filled the air. He tasted the scrambled eggs with the tip of a spoon, added a pinch more salt, and stirred again, focused like a chef on a mission.He looked around, everything had to be just right. The table was neatly set: two warm plates, gleaming silverware, and two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice. It was the first time in months he’d done something like this. Not because he had to. But because he wanted to.From the bedroom, Jane stirred. Her eyes fluttered open as Ian’s soft cries broke through the quiet of the early morning. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and reached for her son, who was wriggling gently in his crib.“It’s okay, baby,” she whispered, lifting him into her arms. “Shhh.”She swayed

  • 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 97: Don't Leave

    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
