Beatrice had an impatient look on her face as she sat in the restaurant. The moment Kai informed her that Stefan wanted to see her, she rushed over as quickly as she could.

The restaurant's glass door swung open, and Stefan stepped inside. His eyes scanned the room until they landed on her, and then he made his way to her table.

"Stefan, thank you for agreeing to see me again," Beatrice said, moving in for a hug, but he stepped back.

"We don’t want to go too far now. I only agreed to talk to you because of my wife. Please, don’t touch me."

Beatrice nodded and tucked a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear before sitting down. Stefan took the seat across from her, and silence fell between them. He just sat there, staring at her intensely.

Beatrice sighed.

"I didn’t come here to be stared at and sighed over. I have other places to be, so please don’t waste my time," Stefan said, frowning.

Beatrice never imagined that Stefan would one day treat her like this.

"First, I want to say I’m

    The next morning at VitMed, Dorothy stepped out of the bathroom wearing her bathrobe. She massaged her back as she picked up her phone and dialed Stefan’s number.He picked up immediately.“Good morning, love,” his voice was a bit groggy, like he was just waking up.“Good morning. Did I wake you?” she asked with concern.“Not at all, sweetheart.”“Okay. Did you talk to your mom yesterday? How did it go?” Dorothy asked, and Stefan sighed.“I did talk to her yesterday, and she explained everything—but I can’t just forgive her like that, love. It’s too hard to just let it go,” Stefan grumbled.“I understand, Stefan. But baby steps, okay?”“If Finn were still alive and told you he was sorry for killing your parents, do you think you could ever forgive him?” Stefan asked. Even though Dorothy couldn’t see him, she could tell he was looking for an honest answer.“And that’s the difference between Finn and your mother. She did what she thought would protect you. She didn’t kill innocent peopl

    The Holmes Residence.Clarissa admired herself in the mirror, twirling slightly. She loved how expensive she looked. Ever since she married Sherlock, he’d showered her with nothing but luxury.A knock came at the door before Agnes stepped in, her face lighting up at the sight of Clarissa.“Gold and diamonds were made just for you,” Agnes praised, her eyes full of admiration.Clarissa’s smile widened. “I know,” she replied proudly.“So, where to?” Agnes asked, leaning against the doorframe.“Sherlock’s taking me to his company today. When I walk in, I want every single person to turn and stare. I wasn’t born to be ordinary,” Clarissa said with a confident smirk.“And that’s the spirit,” Agnes grinned.Clarissa glanced at the time on her Rolex. “Ugh, I’m almost late. That old man’s been waiting forever,” she huffed, grabbing her sunglasses and rushing out.Agnes simply watched her go, shaking her head.Downstairs, Sherlock looked up the moment he saw her coming. “You’re not planning to

    It was the weekend. Dorothy was set to leave VitMed and head back home. She couldn’t wait to see Stefan again—he had promised to come pick her up.“I should use that opportunity to introduce myself to him. Please tell him I’ve been very good to you in school, so he could do something nice for me too,” Kristin, who was sitting beside Dorothy, exclaimed.“Stefan doesn’t do anything nice for anyone if they aren’t me,” Dorothy replied with a smirk and a proud look.“That’s because he hasn’t met me yet,” Kristin replied. When Dorothy gave her a serious look, she quickly corrected herself. “Not as someone who’s gonna steal your man—because obviously, I stand a chance—but he’s gonna love me as your best friend. Maybe someday he’ll take me out for a treat for being such a good friend to you,” Kristin added, feeling herself.Dorothy couldn’t help but smile and shook her head. Her phone rang—it was Stefan. She knew he was already outside.“I’m leaving now. Don’t miss me too much,” Dorothy tease

    Stefan’s car pulled up in front of a fancy-looking restaurant. He stepped out and helped Dorothy out of the car.“At least put a smile on your face, would you?” Dorothy said, her lips curving up as she looked at Stefan’s reluctant expression.“I’m only here because you want me to be,” Stefan huffed.“No, you’re here because you already promised your mother you’d show up. You don’t want to keep a woman waiting at a restaurant,” Dorothy corrected him, taking his hand and leading him inside.The chauffeur opened the restaurant door for them, and Dorothy’s smile widened when she spotted Beatrice already waiting with a little boy sitting on her lap.“Hi,” she waved as they approached the table.“Hey,” Beatrice greeted. She would’ve stood up for a hug, but the seven-year-old on her lap kept her seated.Stefan simply cleared his throat and sat down. He’d much rather be at home with Dorothy, making her scream his name, than sitting in a restaurant making small talk.“Who’s the cutie?” Dorothy

    The weekend was over, and Dorothy was back at VitMed. She was in her hostel, getting ready for school, with Kristen as usual sitting on her bed and watching her."You know you're glowing lately," said Kristen out of the blue."Huh?" Dorothy stared at her through the mirror, giving her a questioning look."Ever since you started spending weekends with your husband, you’ve been glowing. He treats you so well, right?" Kristen asked.Dorothy couldn’t help but smile and nod.She paused for a second and turned to Kristen. "I want to ask you something.""Okay, I’m listening," Kristen said, straightening up on the bed, ready to hear it."If you were in my shoes, would you still go to school?" Dorothy asked with an unsure look. Kristen narrowed her eyes at the question. Dorothy noticed her expression and quickly defended herself, "Remember, you came to advise me, not judge me."Kristen twitched her lips and leaned back. "Marriage is never a hindrance, especially if you plan to go back to schoo

    Dorothy urged the driver taking her to Harrison's house to move faster, even though he was already driving at full speed.“Calm down, Dorothy. You still haven’t told me what’s going on. Why did you run out of class like that? You scared Kade and me,” Kristin said, and Kade nodded in agreement. But Dorothy had no time to explain.A few minutes later, they arrived at Harrison’s house. Dorothy jumped out of the car before it even came to a full stop. Kristin and Kade quickly followed her inside.While Dorothy ran straight upstairs, Kristin paused at the entrance, taking in the sight of the house. It was a mansion—huge and stunning. It was her first time seeing one up close in real life.“Who are you?” a male voice asked, unfamiliar and firm. Kristin turned to find herself facing two handsome men, both staring at her with unreadable expressions.She smiled and flipped her hair flirtatiously. “I think the real question should be—who are you?”Just then, Dorothy came running back downstairs

    It was late evening when Stefan returned from work. Exhausted, he headed to his room with plans to take a cold shower and brood over how much he missed his wife. But like a trick of the mind—or maybe a miracle—there she was, sitting on his bed.“Love?” he called softly, not stepping closer, still trying to process what he was seeing. “Aren’t you supposed to be in school?” he asked, eyes narrowed.“I came back,” Dorothy mumbled.“Why?” he asked, now walking toward her slowly.“I want to be with you all the time, that’s why. I want us to start a family, Stefan. I want us to have children. I’m ready to be a fully committed wife—always by your side,” she said, her voice trembling with sincerity.That was it for Stefan.He reached the bed, scooped her up, and hugged her tightly, her legs instinctively wrapping around his waist.

    A sleek Mercedes-Benz pulled into the Florence household's parking lot. Watching the car through the window, Clarissa couldn't help but sneer in jealousy. She was a slender beauty with smooth skin and long, flowing hair, appearing to be in her early twenties."Mom, that crippled man is here to pick Dorothy up, but he's driving an expensive car. Dorothy doesn't deserve to ride in something like that," Clarissa scoffed, her voice dripping with disdain."Don't worry, baby. It's just a car. Once she marries that crippled man, you'll have anything you want," her mother, Agnes, reassured her."I’d better," Clarissa pouted, her juicy pink lips curling as she flipped a lock of her hair behind her ear. Men lined up for a chance to date her as her beauty was enchanting. But her personality was a stark contrast to her looks, nothing good to write about.A knock sounded at the door."It's them," Clarissa muttered, waving at one of the housemaids to open it.

    Behind her veil, she had a confused look. Was Abraham late, or did he not remember they were supposed to have a wedding ceremony here today? While she was lost in thought, Agnes hugged Clarissa but whispered in her ear.“Abraham isn’t coming because he’s not the one you’re getting married to. You’re actually getting married to his grandfather. And act cool—there are so many businessmen here, you don’t want to blow things up in front of them,” Agnes said before stepping back.Clarissa couldn’t believe her ears. She was getting married to Sherlock instead of Abraham. She was marrying a ninety-two-year-old man—and she had already invited her friends, even Dorothy.The priest began reciting the wedding speech and prayers.“Clarissa Florence, do you take Sherlock Holmes as your lawful wedded husband, to be with him through all seasons of life, till death do you both part?”There was no reply from Clarissa, causing murmurs from the crowd.
