Mag-log in"Hailey, have you taken your medicines?" Adelyn asked gently after a while.
Hailey bit her tongue, her eyes widening in realization. "Oops! I'll go and take them now!" she said hurriedly, turning to leave.
"Make sure to come back for lunch," Adelyn called after her.
"No, Mom, I'm full! I just had a huge plate of fries," Hailey replied with a cheeky smile before heading out of the cabin.
Theo and Adelyn exchanged a pleased glance. They were happy to hear that Hailey
The room was dimly lit, filled with an ethereal ambiance as soft music played in the background. Hailey and Cassian stood facing each other, both wearing elegant masks that obscured their identities yet enhanced the mystique of the evening. The moment was charged with sensual energy, their bodies swaying in perfect harmony as they danced together, lost in their world.Hailey felt the warmth radiating from Cassian as he drew her closer, their bodies brushing against one another. He moved with a confident grace, leading her effortlessly across the floor. The mask over his eyes gave him an enigmatic allure, and Hailey couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement coursing through her veins.As the music swelled, Cassian leaned in, his lips just grazing her ear. "You're beautiful tonight," he whispered, his breath sending a shiver down her spine. In response, Hailey leaned into him, losing herself in the moment, her heart racing in time with the music.In a slow, into
As the car rolled smoothly down the road, Caleb, who had been silently contemplating the earlier conversation, suddenly turned his attention to Hailey with a playful grin. "Angry Bird, you asked Cassian about the girlfriend thing. So, haveyouever had a boyfriend?" he teased, raising an eyebrow.Cassian, who had been absentmindedly playing with Hailey's hair, perked up at Caleb's question, his gaze now filled with curiosity. "Yeah, Sweetie," Alex chimed in from the front. "You were only 15 when I left. So how many boys have been brave enough to approach you?"Hailey chuckled softly but didn't answer immediately. She glanced at Cassian, locking eyes with him for a brief second before turning her gaze toward the window, staring out into the night. "Cassian was my first kiss," she admitted quietly, her voice steady yet thoughtful. "It's not that I wasn't approached. Plenty of boys used to send me proposals or ask me out, either directly or through thei
"Shall we head back?" Alex asked, looking at Hailey with a smile."Yup," Hailey nodded, still a little flushed from the excitement of the race.They made their way out of the park toward the car, the night air cool and refreshing. Hailey walked beside Cassian, her hand comfortably tucked into his. Suddenly, she tugged him down, catching him by surprise, and pressed a firm, playful kiss on his cheek.Cassian chuckled, tilting his head toward her. "What was that for?"Hailey smiled innocently. "Nothing just felt like it."He shook his head, a soft smile playing on his lips as he pulled her closer, wrapping an arm around her in a side embrace. They continued walking toward the car, her small bursts of affection warming his heart.Unbeknownst to them, a car parked a little way off had been watching them closely. The window slowly rolled down, revealing Maxwell Lockhood inside. His eyes were dark, filled with growing jealousy as he watched the co
"Dessert?" Caleb asked."We'll get ice cream from the nearby parlor, it's within walking distance," Hailey suggested, and everyone agreed. After paying the bill, they headed out, walking toward the ice cream parlor."Rose, wear your jacket," Cassian exclaimed and made her wear the jacket."Park?" Hailey exclaimed, pointing toward a nearby park."Sure," Cassian replied, and the group made their way there while enjoying their ice creams.Cassian and Alex walked behind, while Caleb and Hailey were ahead of them. Hailey, grinning widely, climbed up onto a small sidewall and began walking along it."Now you can say you're taller than us," Caleb teased.Hailey stuck her tongue out at him as she finished her ice cream. Caleb held her hand lightly to keep her from losing balance.Meanwhile, behind them, Alex spoke in a low tone to Cassian. "Things are getting messier. I've got a feeling Zuri's planning something big."Cassian, k
Meanwhile, outside, Caleb turned back to face Mark and Oliver. His usual playful demeanor had hardened slightly, but he kept things casual."You two really should back off," he began, keeping his tone light. "She's not the type to entertain your kind."Mark and Oliver exchanged a glance before Mark smirked. "Come on, man, we're just having a little fun. We could show her a good time, maybe even spend the night."Oliver chuckled in agreement, making Caleb's jaw tighten. But instead of snapping, he leaned in closer, his voice dangerously calm."If you love your lives," Caleb said, his voice dropping low, "you'll step back. Because I promise, even your parents won't know where you disappeared to if you keep this up."Mark and Oliver blinked in surprise, clearly not expecting the intensity behind Caleb's words. But instead of showing fear, they forced a laugh, trying to brush it off."Alright, alright," Mark said, waving a hand dismissively. "No
They stepped into the hall and found Alex and Caleb already ready."Shall we leave?" Alex asked, his gaze landing on them."Yup!" Hailey exclaimed, her excitement palpable as they all four made their way out of the penthouse."Angry Bird, you're looking like a golden witch!" Caleb teased, a playful grin on his face.Hailey shot him a glare, tossing her hair back with a little jerk. "You're just jealous; I know my hair looks beautiful," she said, admiring her reflection in the lift's mirror, savoring her self-praise.Alex and Cassian chuckled, and Caleb stood behind her, sticking his tongue out playfully.Once exited the lift, they headed towards Hailey's car, which Lucas had already brought from Fiona's house."Yeah, beautiful dwarf," Caleb whispered again, a mischievous glint in his eyes."Hey, I'm not a dwarf! You guys are just giants!" she retorted with a mock-serious expression, glancing up at the tall frames of Cassian, Ca
Cassian's entire demeanor changed on hearing this. His face hardened, and his eyes darkened with fury. "What the hell?" he bellowed, turning his gaze toward Isabella, now filled with nothing but disgust. The family gasped, shocked at the revelation, unable to believe what they had just heard.
Hailey made her way towards Cassian, calling his name softly. He turned around, his face lighting up with a warm smile as he gently pulled her into a side hug. She relaxed in his arms for a moment, feeling safe and cherished, when suddenly, Caleb's voice boomed over the mic, announcing the engage
Leo and Caleb were standing deep in conversation when suddenly Leo's eyes widened. "Look," he exclaimed, pointing toward the far end of the backyard.Caleb turned to see what had captured Leo's attention. His gaze followed Leo's finger and spotted a striking figure walking toward them, her
The group continued to laugh, Caleb joining in, but as his gaze drifted across the crowd, it fell on Gabriel. Unlike everyone else, Gabriel's face was clouded with somber expressions, standing out amidst the cheerful atmosphere. Caleb's smile faded slightly as he realized how hard this must be fo
