Her heart ached every time she recalled Nathalie crying day after day over the thought loss of her child.Nathalie couldn’t accept what Margaret was saying, and felt that Calix was the reason behind everything her mother had said.Nathalie whirled around on Calix, furious. “What did you do to my mother? What threats did you make and what did you say to make her say things like this?”Calix was calm on the outside but... somewhere inside, resentment toward Margaret burned within him.“Brianna is Sapphire... she’s our daughter?” Nathalie asked in disbelief, tears streaming down her face.She rose to her
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-[“Dashiell had just called me, telling me to travel to L.A. to be by your side, you needed an attorney there. He explained your case to me a bit.

NATHALIE’S POV-This time around, I woke up early. I managed to cook breakfast and get myself ready before Mom woke up.I knocked three times on the door of her room then went inside.My timing was spot on; I came in as she was just starting to sit up, so I supported her.“Don’t worry about me,”
