last update Date de publication: 2026-03-25 09:25:09

Shen POV

The last of the dinner guests had fallen silent, their laughter fading into the night like echoes carried away by the tide. The inn settled into that gentle stillness I had come to recognize, where only the ocean spoke, steady and endless. I dried my hands slowly, wasting time I didn’t need, because the truth was simple. I was stalling.

Avelin stood near the doorway, watching me without asking what I was thinking or pushing to know. He never did. That was one of the things about him th

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   Chapter 142- Leander Confronts Conrad

    Leander POVI had thought about this moment a lot since I got my memories back.I did not think about it like people think about getting revenge, with a lot of anger and satisfaction. I thought about it quietly. I imagined sitting across from Conrad Vladmoss with everything out in the open, no pretending, no acting like a family, no fifteen years of putting on a show. I imagined what it would feel like to have all the facts and look at him with that knowledge.I did not expect to feel so tired.The room was set up by my lawyers, so it was all correct and official. We were in a conference room on the thirty-second floor of a building that our law firm owned, not Voss Corporation, so it was ground. Two police officers stood near the door. My main lawyer sat next to me. Conrad's lawyer, who had been called in with two hours' notice and looked surprised, sat next to Conrad. The table between us was ordinary. The chairs were ordinary too. Everything was ordinary except for the fifteen year

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   Chapter 141 — The Ambush

    Avelin POVThursday evenings had their rhythm now that Leander's memory was back.I left the office at 5:30 PM, taking my route, the one I had used since I moved to the city. It passed by a bakery on the corner. Shen loved their almond cookies, saying they were better than any cookies. Thursdays were special because Renlo watched Shen, and Renlo had a soft spot for baked goods. It was a ritual, one that grew quietly over time, one Thursday at a time.I had my bag on one shoulder and the bakery box under my arm. My mind was on the conversation I needed to have with Leander about Shen's checkup. Shen wasn't happy about it. As I turned onto Caldwell Street, I noticed a car parked at an odd angle, but something else.Then the door opened.It happened fast, like it usually does with danger. Two men moved efficiently, like they had done this before. They grabbed my arms, and my bag fell off my shoulder. The bakery box hit the ground, breaking open. Almond cookies scattered across the concre

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   Chapter 140 — Conrad Makes His Move

    Conrad POVLosing is a slow process that becomes sudden.I watched the slow decline unfold over weeks, board resignations, legal filings, and Gerald Fitch feeding my secrets to Leander’s team. My mistake was trusting a man who knew exactly how deep my reach went. I spent hours in my hotel suite, watching my carefully built empire dismantle on screens broadcast to shareholders and the world.His husband. His son. Three years old.Leander had stood at that podium, delivering his ultimatum with the calm of a man who no longer feared the world. Shareholders listened, confused by this new, incomprehensible reality. I watched the legal machinery grind forward, systematic and cold. It was Leander’s now.Then, suddenly, everything changed on a Thursday. My lawyer called: Elena had agreed to testify. Her deposition would be comprehensive, the timeline she provided sealing every remaining gap in the case.Elena. My wife. The woman who wept in my arms for three years while I arranged her brother

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   Chapter 139 — Elena Before She Testifies Part 2

    Avelin POVMorning sunlight filtered through the blinds, thin and unforgiving. I sat at the table again, though the tea was long gone. My phone lay on the wood, silent. No messages from Leander, no updates from the legal team, just the ticking of the clock.Shen stirred, his head lolling against my shoulder. I moved him to the couch, draping a blanket over him. He did not wake.I stood in the quiet kitchen's quiet. Yesterday’s visit had felt like a catalyst; now, it felt like the calm before a storm that would tear everything apart.The bond felt tighter today, a low hum of tension from Leander’s side. He was preparing, I knew. He had the evidence, the witnesses, the wreckage of three years to present to the judge. But the human cost, the core of it, rested on Elena.I looked out the window. The street was busy, people heading to work, oblivious to the family’s history about to be rewritten.A knock at the door startled me.I checked the time. Seven. Too early for anyone unless the sc

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   Chapter 138 — Elena Before She Testifies Part 1

    Avelin POVNine in the evening. A knock echoed through the apartment.Leander had warned me the night before, his voice quiet and careful. Elena requested to see me, not him, before the testimony. He understood if I refused. I spent the day turning the thought over in my mind, making Shen’s lunch, answering emails, acting as if the week hadn’t been the most complicated of the past three years. In the end, I told Leander to give her the address.She did not resemble the woman I expected. I had imagined the polished, distant Voss sister, but instead, she looked like someone who had carried a heavy burden for years and finally accepted the toll. No jewelry, simple clothes, hair pulled back. She looked human. After months of Leander’s descriptions and formal family gatherings, her presence at my door felt jarring."Avelin," Elena said."Elena. Come in."She hesitated before entering. Her eyes swept the room, the small space, the drawings on the walls, stray shoes, a dinosaur toy left on t

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   Chapter 137 — The Press Conference

    Avelin POV I almost stayed in the apartment.When Leander called last night to break the news about the public declaration, my chest went tight. He offered me a choice to sit this one out. He did not want to push. But the bond hummed with a quiet, raw need that told me the opposite. He needed me in that room. I needed to see him stand ground against the world after three years of dark silence.So I chose to go.Renlo stood at our door at 7:00 AM sharp in a pressed charcoal suit. He took one look at my pale face, then at Shen, who wore a blue shirt with a faint yellow shadow on the collar from a Tuesday crayon accident. Renlo did not ask questions. He simply took the heavy diaper bag from my shoulder and gave my arm a firm squeeze."You look ready," Renlo said as we hit the pavement."I feel sick," I muttered."Both can be true," he replied.Shen marched between us, his small shoes clicking on the concrete. "Are we meeting Papa?""Yes, baby," I said.Shen nodded, his doubts gone. If
