Ralph's head was buried in work in his study room, hoping he could get half of his work done before he went to the hospital. He didn't know why he had so much to do at the office these days.

Sometimes it looked as if the writer of his life was confused as to whether he liked him or not, because some days were good and others were not worth writing home about.

Celia's thoughts distracted him a few times, hoping she would be okay being around his dad alone. As he could remember, his dad didn't hurt women without a tangible reason. The thought tightened his jaw as he forced his eyes closed against the images that wanted to penetrate his mind.

He swore to make his dad pay if anything should even touch a hair on Celia's head when she came back home. And he wouldn't be surprised either if they both ended up in bed later tonight. That's how well he knew the old man.

The soft knock on his door ended his line of thought. "Sir, you have a visitor waiting downstairs. She said she's an old friend

    "Mommy, I want some candy, please," Xavier pleaded, shaking his mom to wake her up.Silvia hissed before opening her eyes, her body feeling six times heavier than during the first trimester. "Xavier, what is it? Why aren't you sleeping, hun?" she asked, still sleepy."Mommy, I want to eat candy, please!" Xavier said over and over with a hopeful voice. He reached out with small fingers, inquisitively pushing into the roundness of her abdomen and hoping for an answer from within or for it to bounce back like a trampoline. He murmured, eyes wide with amazement, "Your tummy is so big now, Mommy. Is the baby eating all the candy, Mommy?"Silvia blinked slowly, noticing a slight smile on her lips despite the weariness she felt. "Maybe," she replied, softening her voice like she was telling him a top secret. "I think the baby has a sweet tooth already, just like his big brother. Every time you ask for candy, it kicks like he wants it too.”Xavier’s eyes widened in childlike wonder. “So the

    With tiny hands firmly grabbing onto his nanny Naëlle's arm, Xavier held on to her sleeve. He hadn't let go since they left the country home where he had been hiding the last few years. The boy's wide blue eyes shone with unanswered questions, questions the woman with him was unable to address. Burke sat at the front, hands on his knees. Beneath his controlled behavior, his thoughts went wild. He had often seen Xavier over the past years, striving to keep a thread of familiarity between the youngster and the family he had been parted from. But this—bringing him home, back to a house he had never visited and a family with old memories... “We’re almost there,” Burke murmured, eyes still fixed on the horizon. Behind them, the nanny gave Xavier a soft squeeze. “Remember what I told you, mon chou? Mommy and Daddy missed you so very much.”Xavier didn’t reply. He just nodded and turned to stare out the window.Coming into sight was the estate. 'Welcome Home, Xavier!' balloons were swaying

    Silvia sat down, running her fingers over the picture of Xavier, their first son, who was still staying with his nanny because of the tension between her and her husband when Ralph had lost his memory. Ralph didn't want him then, and she also didn't want him around until it was absolutely safe for him to be brought back.Staring at his picture now made her feel a wave of guilt. Was she a terrible mother for doing what she did? She couldn't help but feel like she was the cruelest woman that had ever lived.He would be five in December; his birthday normally fell on The Royal Association's anniversary. Maybe that was the reason Ralph didn't really care when he was ill. When he got better, though, both of them had constantly kept in touch with the nanny. The constant threats to their lives had pushed them to make the tough decision of keeping him away, ultimately for his safety.That was not enough, though. She felt like a stone should be fastened to her neck at this rate. Damn it! How co

    Marco sat on the sofa on the balcony looking at up the sky. Eyes dark, jaw tight. Becca had been dodging him for days now, ever since Laurent had that little chat with her. Sure, this place was huge. Plenty of rooms to disappear into. But they were all locked on the same damn floor, so what was the point? She couldn't continue this forever. Every meal was the same rubbish. She'd sit there, avoiding his eyes and purposefully ignoring him, staring at her plate intently. He pondered whether to go meet her now that Laurent wasn't around or he should hold his peace. Laurent was out doing whatever the hell Laurent did all day. Marco could go find her right now. Hash this out. Or he could sit here like an idiot, letting it eat at him.His chest felt tight. God, he was pathetic. Falling for someone who'd never look at him the way he wanted. Someone who was probably laughing at him behind his back. But the matter of the heart can not be dictated, although controlled.Nothing was going accord

    A few months laterSilvia sat on the two-seater couch with Ralph while Celia stood beside them, the two of them staring at the chef Ralph had brought like a horn had suddenly sprouted on his head the moment he walked into the house.Celia was definitely drooling because she had never seen a hot chef with broad shoulders, pink lips, well-shaped lips—the kind you wouldn't want to let go of once you claimed them—and a sharp jaw. She had only seen handsome chefs in movies, not even when she went to culinary school. She scoffed at the thought.Her eyes traveled to his hands. There was no way those hands had ever held a knife in their entire existence. They were too smooth and soft to have gone through that kind of stress.Celia came back to reality when Silvia pinched her thigh. She glared at her for ruining her imagination.How sure were they that he was even qualified as a chef? Did Ralph hire him because of his looks? Why throw away money when she could definitely be his wife's nutritio

    Ralph woke up beside Silvia, staring at her in admiration. This same woman who had gone through so much for him still managed to give him the most precious gift after her recovery. She was just so full of surprises. Nothing was capable of holding her down from giving him a perfect life.He caressed her hair, pushing back the strand that had slipped over her cheek. "Beautiful," he said in awe. Her hair spread out against the pillow as he ran his hand along her shoulder. He could still smell the soft scents of her vanilla and gardenia musk.He traced her stomach, which carried another child of his.Listening to the cadence of her breaths, he realized the sun had already risen, and the birds could not possibly have sung more beautifully today-or maybe it was just that it was the first time he had really listened.He had always been too busy to listen to how sonorous their voices were, even without understanding what they were saying. God did create, and it was certainly true that he made
