Ava stepped through the academy gates with a smile that came more from nostalgia than excitement.

The campus looked exactly the same as it had every other morning, yet somehow it felt different.

Perhaps it was because everyone knew this was their final day as students.

The graduation ceremony would take place tomorrow, and after that, each of them would begin a different chapter of their lives.

Groups of students stood around the courtyard taking pictures with their phones. Some had already sta

  • The Love We Never Expected    Chapter 91

    Dominic stood alone in his office long after Amelia and Danielle had left. His gaze remained fixed on the drawing lying on his desk.Three stick figures stood beneath a bright yellow sun. The tallest figure had messy black hair, while the little girl in the middle held both adults’ hands.Above it, written in uneven handwriting, were two simple words.For Daddy.Dominic picked up the drawing again.His fingers brushed lightly over the crayon marks.He had seen countless expensive gifts over the years. None of them had ever made him feel like this.A knock on the door pulled him back to reality.Cynthia stepped inside.“Mr. Hale, your ten o’clock meeting will begin in five minutes.” Dominic folded the drawing carefully and placed it inside the top drawer of his desk.“Cancel it.” The assistant blinked.“Sir?”“Reschedule all non-urgent meetings for this morning.”“Is everything alright?” Dominic nodded once.“I have something more important to handle.”“Yes, Mr. Hale.” The assistant qu

    Amelia tightened her grip on the steering wheel as she drove toward Hale Group.The morning traffic moved steadily, but her thoughts were elsewhere.Beside her, Danielle sat in her child seat, hugging a colorful drawing against her chest. Every few minutes, she looked out the window before turning back to Amelia with another question.“Mommy?”“Yes, sweetheart?”“Will Daddy be happy to see me?” Amelia’s fingers tightened around the steering wheel.She smiled anyway.“I hope so.” Danielle nodded before asking another question.“Does Daddy know we’re coming?” Amelia hesitated.“Not yet.” The little girl’s brows knitted together.“Then… will he be surprised?” Amelia let out a quiet laugh.“I think he will.” Danielle smiled excitedly.“I like surprises.” Amelia wished this were that simple.A few seconds later, Danielle looked down at the drawing in her hands.“I made this all by myself.”“I know.”“I’m going to give it to Daddy.”“I’m sure he’ll like it.” Danielle beamed.Then her smile

    The moment they stepped into the mansion, Ava stopped walking.“Dominic.” He turned around.“Can we talk?” He immediately noticed how serious her expression was.“Of course.” Mrs. Rose happened to be walking toward them from the dining room.“Sir, Madam, dinner is—”“We’ll eat later,” Dominic interrupted gently.Mrs. Rose nodded and quietly walked away.Dominic looked back at Ava.“What is it?” Ava took a deep breath.Her heart pounded so loudly she was sure he could hear it, she had rehearsed the question countless times during the drive home.Now that she stood in front of him, the words felt impossibly heavy.Finally, she forced herself to ask.“Who is Amelia to you?” Dominic’s expression froze.His brows drew together.“I told you she’s no one important?” Ava felt her chest tighten.“Was she your fiancée?” Dominic didn’t say anything The silence was enough to give her the answer.Her eyes slowly filled with tears.“And…” she whispered, struggling to get the words out, “is her chi

    Amelia saw the shock on Ava’s face, for a long moment Ava looked as though the ground beneath her feet had disappeared. Her lips parted, but no sound came out. Countless questions filled her mind, yet she couldn’t ask a single one.Amelia didn’t explain herself, she didn’t defend her choices. Some wounds were too deep to uncover in a single conversation.She turned around and walked toward her car.The driver hurried to open the door before getting inside, Amelia paused.Without turning around, she said quietly,“Tell Dominic I came.” Then she got into the car.The black sedan slowly drove away until it disappeared beyond the mansion gates.Silence settled over the entrance, the guards exchanged puzzled looks.The maids standing on the porch looked equally confused.“Who was that woman?”“I’ve never seen Madam Ava so shaken.”Mrs. Rose watched the departing car before turning to Ava.The younger woman hadn’t moved an inch, she stood there like a statue staring at the empty road.“Mad

    Mabel had just finished her lunch when Doctor Lewis walked into her room with a smile on his face.He reviewed the latest test results before looking at her.“You’ve made remarkable progress.” Mabel looked up hopefully.“Does that mean I can go home?”Doctor Lewis chuckled.“Not today but if you continue recovering like this, you’ll be discharged in another three or four days.” A smile spread across Mabel’s face.“Really?” He nodded.“Your body is responding well to the treatment.”“You’ll still need therapy and regular checkups, but I believe you’ll make a full recovery.” Lina clapped excitedly.“I knew it!”“I told you she’d be fine.” Doctor Lewis smiled at her enthusiasm.He turned back to Mabel.“One more thing.”“When you go home, no heavy work or stress.”Mabel lowered her head.“I understand.” After giving a few more instructions, Doctor Lewis left the room.The door had barely closed before Ava stood up.“I should go home for a while.” Lina looked at her.“You haven’t been hom

    Margaret carefully folded the last of her clothes before placing them neatly inside the wardrobe.Most of their belongings had already been unpacked. The once empty guest rooms now looked lived in, though they still lacked the warmth of a real home.She stepped back and looked around with satisfaction.“That should do.” Lucas was nowhere to be seen, he had gone out after lunch saying he wanted to familiarize himself with the neighborhood.Sophie however, stood quietly by the window.She wasn’t reading or using her phone, she simply stared into the garden below.Margaret noticed immediately.“Sophie.”“Hmm?”“What are you thinking about?” Sophie turned around with a small smile.“Nothing.” Margaret raised an eyebrow.“You’ve been standing there for almost ten minutes.”“I was just admiring the garden.” Margaret didn’t look convinced.Her daughter was many things, but she wasn’t the type to stand quietly admiring flowers still she decided not to press further.“Come downstairs the kitc

    Ava’s POVI let out a tired groan as my phone rang again. The sound was loud, sharp, and very distracting.It had been ringing again and again for the past few minutes.“Seriously…” I muttered under my breath.I ran a hand through my slightly messy hair and carefully placed the hot comb back on the
