“And the saying goes, ‘So near, and yet so far,’." I heard Aisha say beside me, her voice pulling me back to reality.

“He’s just there and yet so out of your reach, huh? If only you hadn’t lied and thought about yourself for once, maybe it would’ve been you in his arms right now.” I rolled my eyes at her.

Her voice was gentle, but the words cut deep.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. The image of them kissing just seconds ago kept replaying in my head like a broken record.

Sometimes… I wish I could just sleep and never wake up. Because in my dreams, he’s within reach. In my dreams, he’s mine. A dream I never want to wake up from.

“That’s enough. Stop crying. Nothing will change if you cry all night,” she said gently.

She pulled me to my feet, and we walked over to join Luna, who was eating alone.

“Hi Luna! Khiro’s not here?”

“He just went to grab something from the room,” she answered. I sighed.

Three minutes ago, I saw Khiro making out with the receptionist.

    I thought we were just attending a corporate event. That was all I expected. I never imagined this. I always believed Leo would propose after I gave birth—that’s how I pictured it in my head. “I love you so much, Trinity,” he whispered as he pulled me into a tight embrace. I returned it with the same intensity, melting into his arms. This is it. We’re finally getting our own version of happily ever after.…As we entered the hotel, the party was already in full swing. People were dancing, laughing, and living in the moment. Leo and I joined in for a slow dance. I gently rested my head on his shoulder, his arms wrapping securely around my waist like he never wanted to let go.“You’ve spoiled me with so many surprises today, Leo,” I murmured against him. “Now it’s my turn. After the party, I have something to tell you.” There was anticipation bubbling inside me, a secret waiting to be set free. “I’ve never really been excited about surprises until now,” I added softly. “Maybe b

    I finally breathed easy when Trinity finished getting ready. No matter how beautiful my girlfriend looked every single day, there was something different tonight. She was glowing. Ethereal. That white dress clung to her like it was made just to worship her body. But what really destroyed me—what shattered me—were her eyes. Bright with warmth, lit up with excitement. She had no clue what she was doing to me. "You look unreal, love." I whispered, taking her hand and pressing a reverent kiss to her knuckles like she was royalty. Like she was a miracle. She didn’t know. She didn’t have the faintest idea what I was about to do. ...We were in the limousine, minutes away from the venue. Everyone else was distracted on their phones, but me? I couldn’t take my eyes off her. I never could. She was my whole world. My reason. My anchor and the chaos. Tonight—I’d make sure she’d know it. “Are you nervous?” she asked with a soft smile. “Nope.” I shook my head slowly. “I’ve got not

    When I opened my eyes, I was lying on a soft bed. I bolted upright and stepped out of the room to look for Leo. I found him in the living room, talking on the phone. "Yes, Vince. I have to take care of my wife since we’re pregnant, so maybe Khiro and Sky can manage things for now. But if the client insists on speaking with me, give me his phone number. I’ll talk to him—but do everything you cannot to disturb me unless necessary." I didn’t show myself just yet. I waited for their conversation to finish. "Yes, thank you so much. And don’t worry—you’re one of the baby’s godfathers." He laughed before saying goodbye. "Hi," I greeted once he noticed me. He came over immediately. "My Tesorina. Are you hungry? Want me to cook something?" I smiled. I really love him. I walked closer to him. "You don’t have to cook. My food’s standing right in front of me." With that, my fingers slowly traveled downward, brushing against the growing hardness beneath his pants. Leo’s breath

    Leo exhaled, rubbing a hand down his face. “My dad and Nicole planned this. Nicole thinks that if she can’t have me, then neither should you. That’s why she worked with my father. I didn’t know she’d go this far just to ruin us.”Guilt twisted in my stomach. My doubts—my assumptions—almost destroyed everything.I looked at him, trying to read his face. “You didn’t kiss her,” I whispered. “You never wanted that kiss.”Leo nodded, his jaw clenching. “No, I didn’t. You saw the video, Trinity. I never wanted her. It was only you. It’s always been you.”I bit my lip. Sky was right. I should’ve thought things through before making such reckless choices.Leo let out a sharp breath. “Now, say it. Tell me the baby is mine. Tell me you made up that whole story about cheating.”A soft laugh escaped me, tears welling in my eyes. “Come on, Leo. Where would I even find another guy when the man sitting beside me already has everything I could ever ask for? The love, the care, the patience—even that

    My hands were shaking as I gripped the blanket tightly. Why? Why did it have to be her? “Like I said, my son will always be a selfish man. You can’t change him. I am—” I cut him off. “I-I’ll break up with him. But I won’t get rid of the baby.” Ybarra Salvatore Vasquez gave a small nod and took a sip from his wine glass. “Fine. As long as you come up with a believable story. Say you cheated.” I nodded, even though it felt like I was slowly falling apart inside. “Good. Then we have a deal, hija. And I hope you don’t go back on your word. I can’t stand people who break promises.” He tried handing me a thick envelope of cash. I slapped his hand away. “I don’t need your money, Mr. Ybarra.” He shrugged. “Then you’re free to go. Nice meeting my son’s—ex-girlfriend.” He let out a low laugh and opened the door. I walked out without looking back. The moment I stepped outside, I ran. I felt like I was going to lose my mind. I needed air. I stopped at the garden, gasping, my heart poun

    The city buzzed around me, cars honking, people talking, footsteps echoing, but all I could focus on was the pounding in my chest. I wasn’t even sure if I was breathing right. The man who’d just pulled me out of the way stepped back quickly, like he realized what he’d done and regretted it. “Be careful,” he said quietly, almost under his breath—but it hit harder than it should’ve. I wasn’t going to let him walk away again. Without thinking, I reached for the hood over his head, tugging it down along with his cap. He stopped. Slowly, he turned to face me, and my stomach sank. His eyes were red. He looked like he hadn’t slept in days, like he’d been holding something in for way too long. “Please tell me it’s you,” I said, my voice shaking even though I tried to stay composed. Leo turned his back on me. That was all it took—I couldn’t hold it together anymore. I ran after him and stepped in front of him before he could leave. This time, I reached up and pulled down his mask, my ha
