ASHELY'S P. O. V

I needed a nursery

Which meant I needed an apartment.

Which also meant, I needed an apartment far from where I could bump into Kellan since I wasn't ready to face him and tell him about the baby.

July had been a big help to me, letting me stay longer than I probably should have, but now that I was going to have a daughter, I couldn't keep inconveniencing her, even though she says otherwise.

Which was why I was scrolling through listings on a real estate site at eight in the morning, a tablet in one hand and a half-melted smoothie in the other.

July was still curled up asleep on the couch, one hand resting on top of the couch while the other tucked under a fluffy throw pillow. July worked in a marketing department and had come home last night extremely tired, She crashed on the sofa and hadn't gotten up since, We would have woken her up, but luckily she's on leave for the rest of the week.

I leaned back into the other couch, Jackie by my side as we browsed through apa

    TEN YEARS LATERKELLAN There was no tea in my teacup.Still, I brought it to my lips and took a pretend sip, just to appease my youngest hostess.“Have some bus-cots and stawbewwies, Daddy,” Violet said with that sweet smile that could get me to do anything for her. My heart melted when she dropped plastic biscuits and fruits on my tiny pink plate. It's the way it lit her face up, her dark chocolate eyes shining with happiness, it made her look like a younger version of Ashley.Across from me, Ashley tried and failed to stifle her hearty laughter, pressing her slender hand over her mouth, the golden band of her wedding ring catching my eyeI gave her a look of helplessness when I brought the plastic fruit to my lips. To think that just a few hours ago, I was a the company, dishing out commands and orders, but here, at home with my family — the centre of my world— I was a different person.I sat cross-legged on the pink rug of the girls' playroom, different colours bows pinned into

    ASHLEYI didn’t go.When Genevieve and Leonard stood before the court for their final trial, I stayed home.Kellan went through. He followed through with the case for the four months it lasted, attending every hearing, every statement, and every revelation that showed the kind of hideous, wicked people they were.Kellan pushed through to make sure justice was served and that Melody or I would never have to live in fear of the woman who sought to destroy meAnd maybe I should have gone, just to laugh in Genevieve's face when the judge passed a fifteen-year sentence on her and eighteen on Leonard. I would have loved to see her crumble and collapse at losing her honor, prestige, and legacy, which she cared about more than anything elseBut I didn't go. Because I couldn't find it in me to spite her anymore. At the end, Kellan and I had won; that was all that mattered.She and Leonard would spend the next long years behind bars, and I would spend mine surrounded by warmth, in the arms of t

    ASHLEY The sky was blue, the clouds were fluffy, and the gentle breeze rustled my dress. The air carried a warm scent of spring and flowers, while I rocked my ray of sunshine wrapped in a pink shawl.Life was perfect.At eighteen days old, the doctors cleared my daughter to go home. I smiled down at my daughter, holding her firmly in my arms. Her little breaths were rhythmic, syncing with my every heartbeat. Her cheeks were rosy and her eyes were still that metallic blue-gray colour of newborns that would change into her real eye color with timeI made a bet with Kellan that they'd be green, just like his.“Hi, my angel," I whispered when she stirred awake, blinking slowly at me. Melody's tiny arms stretched like she wanted to touch my face, I leaned down and brushed my lips against her rosy cheeks, breathing in the sweet powdery scent that only newborns had Like every time during the past eighteen days, tears welled in my eyes before I could stop them. Melody was so small, so frag

    ASHLEY’S P.O.VIt was the kind of pain that made me scream out for God It was like I was being brutally ripped in two with my opening. My body forcefully tearing away for the life inside me to be bornSeb shot up to his feet when the first scream tore away from my throat fumbling in his pockets for something as doctors and nurses rushed into the roomPain shot up from my thighs to my head, I gripped the sheets by my side, nearly pulling them away, my eyes shut close tight when sharp contractions tore my body“She's in labour " I heard someone yell. I felt someone come between my legs, felt someone else inject something into meBut most of all, I felt the small human tearing herself out of me. I couldn't breathe, couldn't relax, couldn't see anything “Deep breaths, Ashley." The doctor, that nice doctor who had been taking care of me, urged softly. “You're going into labor now, three centimeters dilated,”My back was about to snap in two from the pain. Oh, the pain shook every part of

    KELLAN P.O.VIt was Dean's laughter that broke the long, stunned silence.I eyed the young man before me, his hardened jaw, clenched fists, and unapologetic eyes. “I killed Pete." He repeated, his words carrying an edge to them.I rubbed my jaw again, processing what he had just revealed. “Why?"I didn't care much about Pete, even though he was Ashley's father. The man had always been a fleeting presence in her life, leaving the duty of child raising to Genevieve who wasn't any better.God knows I'll lay down everything to be present for Ashley and our daughter. Dominic shifted in his seat, his body going rigid. “I had no choice," he said, glancing at his mother whose mouth was open in pure shock.“They made me do it"Mrs Beau's face drained of colour, and her hand trembled by her side. “They made you do what?" She asked in that voice that was barely a whisper.Behind them, I tilted my head to Martin's to make sure he was recording this—not that it would be viable in court since this
