LOGINBillionaire heiress Julia Wilson had come to loathe Christmas. Five years ago, it had shattered her life when she walked in on her husband, Ryan Thompson, in what appeared to be a compromising position with his secretary. The heartbreak had forced her into premature labor. By the time her twins, Lucien and Olivia, were born, she’d signed the divorce papers, severing ties with the man she once loved. Ever since, Julia buried her pain behind an iron-clad business persona, working herself and her employees to the bone every holiday season to escape the memories of her ruined Christmas. For Ryan Thompson, Christmas was no easier. A top-tier lawyer and businessman infamous for his undefeated courtroom record, Ryan’s victories felt hollow compared to the loss of his family. A misunderstanding had cost him his wife and the chance to watch his twins grow. For five years, he’d kept his distance, silently watching over Julia and their children, waiting for the right time to make amends and reclaim what he had lost. A chance encounter with a stranger leads him to his family’s doorstep, dressed as Santa Claus. Will Julia slam the door in his face, or will she accept him for the sake of their children? Can they rekindle their love and fulfill the twins’ Christmas wish, or will their relationship burn in the wake of his betrayal? What Julia doesn’t know is that fate—or perhaps the twins’ clever planning—has something else in store.

Are you going to tell the teacher, or are you going to go crying to Mommy?” he mocked, his tone mimicking that of a small child as the other two boys sniggered.“Let him go!” They all turned at the sound of the voice; the bully's eyes grew wide in fear as he quickly let go of Lucien's collar and took a fearful step back while Lucien sl
RyanDecember 17thIt was the final hearing for Kathryn and Farid's case and to say I was beyond nervous for it was an understatement.The last few weeks have been a beautiful blur, spending time with Julia and the triplets has been nothing short of a blessing, but as I sat in court awaiting the judgement, I realized how far Julia and I have come to be here witnessing the people that hurt our family get exactly what they deserved.“Kathryn Graves, you have been found guilty by this court of two counts of kidnapping and two counts of aggravated assault,” before the judge could continue, Kathryn began to hyperventilate in her seat while Farid's expression remained unreadable.“The evidence presented during this trial has demonstrated a clear and disturbing pattern of violent and predatory behavior.”"Your actions have caused significant physical and emotional harm to the victims in this case. The nature of these crimes, involving both the deprivation of liberty and the infliction of ser
"I know you do," I murmured, a smile curving my lips as my gaze locked on the side of his face as he walked back into the house through the back door, shutting it with his foot."I never apologised for not believing five years ago," I murmured, and his gaze met mine briefly before looking back ahead as we ascended the stairs with me in his arms."It's in the past, and the woman responsible for causing that misunderstanding is behind bars; now we know to trust each other moving forward," he said, and I nodded slowly.I felt the guilt that had been eating at my insides ease at his words; Ryan was truly a good man, and he was mine.***February 13thSeveral weeks had passed since Adrien came home, and saying it had been a rollercoaster of emotions would be putting it lightly.The first few weeks were hard, so hard that I'd find myself crying, but Ryan made it so much easier. Sometimes I wondered how I was able to handle so much without him in the picture.I exhaled a long breath as the s
JuliaIt was night after Adrien came home for the first time, and as I lay in my bed, the silence of the night enveloped me, but instead of finding sleep, I tossed and turned for what felt like hours on end until I gave up and sat up on my bed.Turning towards the window I stared out at the silver light of the moon that filtered in through the sheer curtains; its cold beauty was entrancing but not enough to distract me from the restless turmoil that had settled in the pit of my stomach.I sighed, pushing the covers off of me as I slid out of bed. I slipped my sock-clad feet into a pair of fuzzy house shoes before stepping out of the room.Maybe some fresh air would do me some good, I thought as I descended the stairs as quietly as I could.I slid open the back door that led to the garden out back and stepped out, exhaling slowly as a cold chill ran down my spine.I gripped the covering of my sheer nightgown, folding my arms over my chest to retain some warmth as I stared out at the cl
I pulled into the parking lot of the school, turning off the car's ignition, I reached for my hand bag in the passenger side and dug through it.Pulling out a pair of dark shades first, I pulled it on before proceeding to check my make-up in the rearview to see if it needed a retouch. I grabbed my
I stared out the floor to ceiling glass windows of the boardroom, my eyes fixated on white flakes of snow drifting down from the sky.The sight only further deepened my scowl, to some, the sight of the first snow would have been a magical thing but it only served as a reminder of the impending holi
Julia “That is not the reason I said we can't go,” I deadpanned, my eyes meeting Ryan's, who was now leaning back against the headrest of his seat with an expression I couldn't decipher. “Then what was the reason?” Ryan asked, arching a brow in question, and I frowned deeply. “That is none of yo
I pulled up in front of the skyscraper building. I grabbed my bag off the passenger seat and exited my car, shutting the car door behind me and handing the keys to the valet, who stood with a professional smile on his face.He handed me my claim ticket before walking towards my car.
