Nic POV

Steam curled around us, soft and heavy, but her words cut through it clean—I love you.

For a second, I thought the hiss of the shower had played a trick on me. My hand, slick with water, stalled mid-motion against her back. The scent of her shampoo, the warmth of her skin—everything I’d been sinking into—blurred into something sharp, electric. My chest tightened, a pulse pounding behind my ribs like it wanted out. I stared at her, droplets sliding down her cheek, searching for a flicker of hesitation, anything that made this less real. But her eyes stayed on mine, steady and unflinching, and all I could do was grip the tiled wall, as if the whole room might tilt and drag me under.

I wanted to say it back, to tell her I loved her—but the words felt trapped in my chest, stubbornly refusing to escape, even though deep down I knew how I felt.

“You don’t have to—”

“I love you, Seinna,” I finally said. As I spoke, I saw her eyes glisten, teary—like she’d longed to hear those words,

    The next evening, the house smelled of baked cookies and fresh flowers. Ava had insisted on helping me decorate, scattering petals on the dining table while Chris kept running to the window to check if “Aunt Ann’s car” was there yet.When the doorbell finally rang, the kids bolted before I could stop them.“Ann!” Ava squealed, flinging herself into her aunt’s arms the moment the door opened.Tara—Ann to everyone but me—laughed as she bent down to scoop her up. “Oh, my favorite girl! You’ve grown so much. What are they feeding you, sunshine?”Chris hugged her next, grinning wide. “Mom said you were coming, but I thought you’d miss the plane like last time.”“Not this time, kiddo,” she said, ruffling his hair. “I made sure of it.”I stood in the doorway, smiling before she even looked up. And when she did, her eyes softened in that way that always made me feel like home wasn’t a place—it was her.“Sienna,” she said quietly.I didn’t realize how much I needed her until I was in her arms.

    Seinna povThe flight home felt quieter than the one that brought us there. The kids had fallen asleep halfway through, curled up under thin blankets, their faces peaceful against the hum of the engines. I watched them for a long while, brushing a strand of hair from Ava’s forehead, pretending not to notice the weight of Nic’s silence beside me.He hadn’t said much since the park. He’d disappeared for nearly an hour that evening before we left, returning only after sunset, jaw tight and eyes unreadable. When I asked where he went, he simply said, “Handled it,” and that was the end of it.Now, as the jet sliced through the night sky, he sat across from me, scrolling through his phone with a stillness that made the air between us feel heavy.“Everything okay?” I asked softly.His eyes lifted to mine for a moment before he nodded once. “Yeah. We’re fine.”But the edge in his voice told a different story.When we landed, dawn had already begun to creep across the horizon, painting the cit

    Seinna pov My hands trembled slightly as I stared at the screen. Clara’s name glared back at me like a ghost that refused to stay buried. For a moment, the world outside the villa—the sound of waves, the laughter of the kids—faded into silence.Nic’s voice broke it. “What is it?”I didn’t answer at first. I could still feel his kiss on my lips, but now my heart raced for an entirely different reason. Slowly, I turned the phone toward him. His eyes flicked over the message, his jaw tightening. The shift in his expression was subtle, but it was there—the flash of irritation, the cold calm that always followed when he felt threatened.“Clara,” he muttered, almost to himself. Then, looking up at me, his tone softened, even though his eyes stayed sharp. “She won’t touch you, Sienna. I’ll make sure of it.”I swallowed hard. “Nic, you don’t know her like I do. She doesn’t stop until she gets what she wants. What if—”He cut me off, stepping closer, his hand wrapping around mine with quiet

    Sienna’s POV“Sienna, I want you to meet someone…” Nic’s voice came from behind me as he stepped onto the balcony where I had been seated, staring out at the horizon.I turned, brows furrowing, unsure who he meant. But the moment my eyes landed on the figure beside him, my heart stopped. “Dad…” The word tumbled from my lips in a whisper of disbelief before I was on my feet, rushing into his arms.His embrace was strong, trembling with emotion. I buried my face against his shoulder, breathing in a scent I thought I’d lost forever. He muttered into my hair over and over, “I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” like a broken prayer.Tears stung my eyes, slipping down my cheeks. Slowly, I pulled back, studying him as though afraid he might vanish. His skin was clear, his frame healthy—he looked cared for, better than I could have imagined. My gaze shifted toward Nic. He stood a few steps back, arms folded, expression unreadable, as if none of this touched him.“It’s not your fault,” I said firmly to m

    “Miss me, bitch?”The voice slid from the darkness like a blade against glass, sharp and cold. My heart stuttered before the shadow stepped forward, revealing Clara.For a heartbeat I almost didn’t recognize her. The Clara I once knew carried a glow—a dangerous, surgically perfected beauty that always felt like a challenge. But this Clara looked different. Thinner. Precise. Her once radiant skin now held a damp, gray cast. Her eyes, once bright with mischief, looked older, haunted. The sleek hair that had always been her crown was now cut short, jagged around her face as if life had stripped her of vanity. Suffering clung to her like smoke.“Mum… who is she?” Ava’s small voice tugged me out of the frozen moment.Clara tilted her head, eyes sliding to my daughter. A slow, poisonous smile crept across her lips. “Aww, the little one,” she cooed, bending to Ava’s level. “She looks just like the man, doesn’t she? The man you stole from me.”“Don’t touch her,” I snapped, yanking Ava behind
