  • MARRIED TO MY MOTHER’S KILLER    A Promise kept

    Five years later, the Blackwood house was louder than Eliam had ever imagined a home could be, and he had never been happier about it. Aurora Elena Blackwood, now five, had inherited her mother’s bright eyes and her father’s stubborn determination, while Gabriella, nine and fiercely proud of being the eldest, had appointed herself the official protector of her little sister. Their disagreements filled the mornings, their laughter travelled through the halls, and their drawings covered a wall that Eliam had once insisted should remain spotless. Avaline called it the family gallery. Eliam called it evidence that he had lost every argument about interior design and somehow won the life he wanted.On a Saturday morning, Eliam stood in the kitchen attempting to make breakfast while Aurora sat on the counter, explaining the rules of a game he had not agreed to play. Gabriella was searching for a missing school project, and Avaline was trying to convince both girls that glitter did not belon

    Six months later, Aurora had developed a remarkable talent for interrupting anything her father considered important. She could turn a business call into a competition for attention simply by making a small sound from her play mat, and Eliam had become embarrassingly easy to distract. During a video conference with Blackwood International’s senior executives, Aurora began babbling loudly from the adjoining room. Eliam paused mid-sentence, turned his head, and smiled before remembering that twelve people were waiting for him to continue. Marcus, who had joined the meeting remotely, leaned toward his camera. “Is the baby winning again?” Eliam gave him a warning look. “Would you like to finish the presentation?” Marcus laughed. “Absolutely not. I value my position.” Eliam ended the meeting ten minutes later, walked into the living room, and lifted Aurora into his arms. Avaline watched from the sofa, amused. “You know you can finish a meeting before going to her.” He kissed Aurora’s foreh

    The first morning at home began before sunrise. Aurora woke with a soft cry from the nursery, and Avaline opened her eyes immediately. Before she could get out of bed, Eliam was already sitting up. “I’ve got her,” he whispered. Avaline smiled sleepily. “You don’t even know what she needs.” “Neither do you.” She laughed as he disappeared into the nursery. A few moments later, he returned carrying their daughter carefully against his chest. “I believe your daughter is hungry.” Avaline reached for Aurora, but Eliam sat beside her and let the baby settle between them. They looked down at her in silence, still amazed that the little girl they had spent months waiting for was finally there. Eliam brushed a finger against Aurora’s cheek, and when her tiny hand curled around it, his expression softened. “She has you wrapped around her finger already,” Avaline murmured. “I’ve accepted my fate.”A soft knock came at the bedroom door, followed by Gabriella’s whisper. “Can I come in?” Eliam smile

    The delivery room seemed to move around Avaline without waiting for her. Nurses came and went, monitors continued their steady rhythm, and Dr. Carter remained close as the contractions became stronger and more frequent. Avaline gripped Eliam’s hand so tightly that his fingers had gone numb, but he never tried to pull away. “You’re doing well,” he whispered. Avaline opened her eyes and gave him a tired look. “If you tell me that one more time, I might actually hurt you.” He smiled despite the fear tightening his chest. “Understood.” Another contraction came, and her expression changed immediately as she focused on breathing through it. Dr. Carter checked the monitor and nodded. “The baby is tolerating labor beautifully.” Eliam looked at the screen, then back at Avaline. “You hear that?” Avaline breathed out slowly. “I hear everything.”Outside the room, Gabriella sat beside Eleanor with her stuffed rabbit tucked underneath one arm. She had asked the same question so many times that Ele

    Several weeks passed after the appointment with Dr. Carter, and Avaline’s pregnancy moved steadily into its final stage. Her checkups remained reassuring, the baby continued to grow normally, and there had been no return of the bleeding or complications that had frightened them earlier. Dr. Carter had made one thing clear at every visit: Avaline was doing well, but she was no longer at the stage where she could push through exhaustion and ignore every warning from her body. The hospital bag was packed and kept beside the bedroom door, the nursery was ready, and Gabriella had taken personal responsibility for checking both every morning. Avaline had also reached the point where she could no longer spend entire days at the Family Learning Initiative, so she made the decision herself to hand daily operations to her director while remaining involved in major decisions. She did not feel as though she was stepping away from the work; she felt as though she was finally trusting the people sh

    Dr. Carter’s office was unusually quiet when Avaline and Eliam arrived the next morning. Gabriella had insisted on coming, so she sat between them in the waiting area with a children’s book on her lap, occasionally looking up whenever a nurse passed. Eliam checked the time for the third time, and Avaline noticed immediately. “Stop.” He looked at her innocently. “I’m not doing anything.” “You’re checking the clock.” “Because we’re waiting.” She reached for his hand and squeezed it. “Whatever she wants to check, we’ll deal with it.” He nodded, but his fingers tightened around hers. When the nurse finally called Avaline’s name, Eliam stood immediately, and Gabriella jumped up as well. “I’m coming.” The nurse smiled. “All three of you can come in.” Gabriella looked pleased. “I told you.”Dr. Carter greeted them warmly, but Avaline noticed the seriousness in her expression. “Before we do anything, I want you to know there’s no reason to panic,” she said. Eliam’s shoulders relaxed slightly.
