LOGIN~Dahila~ (Three years later.) "Mummy, Mummy! We've got a surprise for Daddy!" Hannah, my energetic three-year-old, exclaimed, waving a giant lollipop in my face. Her twin brother, Huxley, was hot on her heels, also clutching a colorful lollipop. I could tell by the mischievous grins on their fac
~Axel~ Overwhelmed, I stumbled out of the hospital into the night air, my hands shaking, my heart racing, and my mind reeling with worry. The cold wind buffeted me, but I hardly felt it, my thoughts consumed by Dahlia's plight. Self-blame and helplessness washed over me like a wave, leaving me fe
~Damian~ I've been taking care of Dahlia for two weeks now, despite her constant tantrums. Ironically, she's been supportive in her own way, eating and drinking enough to sustain her energy for daily door-banging and screaming sessions. As I waited for her food, my phone rang, and I saw Kade's na

~DAHLIA~ I let out a groan as Axel handed me another teddy bear despite me already holding five. “That's enough. I don't need anymore, I don't even like teddy bear" I whined but he ignored me as he turned to Kade who had an irritated look on his face. Ever since Axel showed up, it's like he wanted
~DAHLIA~ The next morning, I woke up with a smile on my face.
