The Final-PT3CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVENDevon’s POVIf someone had told me three years ago that I’d one day be hunting for an engagement ring in the middle of finals season, sandwiched between term papers and sleepless nights, I’d have laughed them off.But here I was. Neck-deep in textbooks, group projects, and career fairs, but yet none of it, not a single deadline or scholarship form had mattered. Well, it almost did matter, but not more than her.Alexa.She’s in my every thought. When I woke up, when I slept, when I even stared blankly at a spreadsheet pretending to care about I was reading in the moment. Every breath I took without her felt slightly misplaced. Not incomplete. Just… off.The distance between us had made yearn for her than I previously had. I hadn't even realized that that was even possible. Until now. And that’s how I knew. I needed to man up and take the next step in our relationship.It was time.It started with a break. A short one, nothing more than three days

She said YESCHAPTER SEVENTY-NINEAlexa’s POVI thought the proposal was the pinnacle of the night.Turns out, it was only the beginning.I barely had time to wipe the tears from my cheeks when Stacey emerged from behind a pillar, grinning like a kid in a candy store. She had her phone in her hand, filming everything, of course, and then behind her came Devon’s mom, my parents, Harry, and even Mel, who had her arms thrown in the air like she’d just won the lottery.“Engaged!” she squealed, sprinting toward me like a whirlwind. She flung her arms around me and Devon at once. “I told you this would be the most perfect night of your life!”I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry again.Somehow, amidst all the love and lights, they guided us to the adjoining hall. I hadn’t even realized there was another hall, but as the doors swung open, a wave of warmth and golden light enveloped us. Twinkling string lights draped from the ceiling like stars suspended mid-fall. Rose petals carpeted the

Forever you and ICHAPTER EIGHTY-ONEDevon's POVThe party was over. The lights dimmed, laughter now just a faint echo in the walls of our home. Everyone had left with smiles on their faces and drinks in their hands. But here we were. Just the two of us in our bedroom, tucked under the soft sheets. The warmth of her back pressed against my chest as my arm rested over her waist, fingers laced with hers. I could still smell the faint hint of her vanilla perfume beneath all the champagne and celebration. My wife. One year of marriage. And somehow, it felt like we’d only just begun.She stirred a little in my arms, getting comfortable, snuggling deeper like she wanted to dig herself into me. I chuckled a little from her cute action.Slowly, she took my arm, and placed it gently on my stomach. "Devon, I have something to tell you. ""What? "“I have a surprise,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.I raised a brow, heart tugging gently with curiosity. “Another one? I thought th

Happily Ever AfterEpilogueAlexa's POVThe backyard was a beautiful kind of chaos.Balloons bobbed in the breeze, strung in colorful clusters around the white tent posts. Streamers glittered in the sun, and the scent of chocolate cake, grilled burgers, and fresh lemonade danced in the air. Kids screamed and laughed as they chased each other across the lawn, sticky-fingered and full of sugar. And somewhere in the distance, Devon was trying to coax Knox down from the tree he’d bravely decided to climb. Again. I stifled a laugh. But right in the center of it all, stood my first little miracle. Carissa Jane Blackwood. Nine years old today.My heart tightened, in the best possible way, watching her laugh with Theo as they raced toward the bouncy castle, hair tied in pigtails flying, her pink tutu bouncing, and a sparkly tiara nearly slipping off her head.God, she looked so much like Devon. The same dimples, the same determined look in her eye when she set her sights on something, for e

Ice Queens Need Love Too CHAPTER ONE Aurora's POV There’s a specific kind of silence that followed me wherever I went, like people lowered their voices just to make their whispers sharper. And today was no different, just like everyday, since that disastrous day in the past. I, however, had grown used to this. I glided through the cafeteria like a ghost in my own school. My tray was nearly empty, just a bottle of water and an apple I wouldn't eat. I took my usual spot, a corner table, second from the left. No one ever sat here. No one ever tried or dared. Unless they wanted to be the next target of bullying from Kristy and the rest of the school. After all, everyone had United and singled me out. They had all made up their minds up about me. Aurora Hale. The Ice Queen. Too beautiful to approach. Too cold to love. Too smart to bother. And to selfish to consider other's feelings. I had heard it all. The cruel whispers behind my back, just within earshot, like they wa
