Alex’s P.O.V.A Few Years LaterStella and I walk hand in hand along the beach, the gentle waves brushing against our feet.I can’t take my eyes off her. She’s glowing, looking more beautiful than ever. It’s not just the warm sunlight or the way her hair dances in the breeze—it’s the life growing inside her. Not one, but two mini versions of us, created from our love. She’s wearing a simple white crop top paired with a long blue skirt, but she looks ethereal.“You’re staring again,” she says with a smile, her free hand resting on her bare, rounded belly.I grin, shaking my head. “What can I do, Stella? Even before your pregnancy, I couldn’t take my eyes off you. But now…” I glance at her baby bump as I add, “now you’re even more breathtaking. This glow, this beauty—it’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen.”As she looks down at her belly, her smile fades slightly. “And here I feel like crying most days because nothing fits me anymore. Not a single piece of clothing!” She pouts at me.I sto

Stella’s P.O.V.I’m going for shopping with Zoe. We sit in the backseat, resting our hands on our baby bumps. It was our choice to marry on the same day, but it was God’s choice to make us pregnant together. But I’m loving it. Getting pregnant with your bestie is another kind of fun.We laugh as we compare cravings, complain about swollen feet, and talk about our husbands, who bear our mood swings without a single complaint.“You know,” I say between laughs, “my babies only get active when Alex kisses me or when we…” I pause with a smirk, lowering my voice, “You know… when we have sex.”Zoe rolls her eyes. “Lucky you! My baby stays active all the time. I feel them moving all day long.” She rubs her belly with an exaggerated sigh. “And guess what? They’re active even now.”I chuckle, shaking my head. “Well, they’re definitely taking after their mommy—always energetic and never sitting still.”Zoe narrows her eyes in horror and turns her attention to her bump, caressing it. “No, no, lit

Alex’s P.O.V. Six Months Later We’re on holiday with our little daughters, Ella and Lexi. Their names are inspired by ours—Ella, taken from Stella’s name, with her golden eyes resembling her mommy’s, and Lexi, from mine, with hazel eyes just like mine. Honestly, it feels like it was just yesterday when I held them in my arms for the first time. They’re growing up so fast that sometimes I feel like pausing the time and cherishing every little moment. Sitting on the sand by the beach, Ella and Lexi laugh in unison as their mother dances crazily in front of them to make them smile, giving me the perfect moment to capture their photo. They look adorable, as always, in their matching onesies and white caps. My little flowers. And their mother, my flower—she isn’t any less stunning. The way she moves with no care in the world and her laughter rings out over the sound of the waves is mesmerising. She is dressed up in a white summer dress, and her hair sways in the breeze, adding to her b

Selena’s P.O.V. I’m getting ready for dinner, lost in my thoughts as I do my makeup, sitting in front of a huge mirror in my dressing room. Tonight, my father’s friend is coming over, and I already dread their endless boring business talk. Although I don’t want to, I must attend it because I can’t say no to my father—I want to keep my parents happy and never disappoint them. They’re always busy with work, and while I long for their attention, I’ve learned to settle for the little moments they give me. “Selena, are you ready?” Lily’s voice pulls me out of my thoughts. Lily has been my caretaker since childhood—a woman of my mother’s age, but closer to my heart than anyone else. She gives me the love I’ve always craved from my parents, treating me like her daughter. I don’t know what I’d do without her. “Lily, I really don’t feel like attending this dinner,” I admit in a sad tone. “It’s just a dinner, sweetie.” Standing behind me, she combs my hair. “Don’t let it bother you. I’ll b

Selena’s P.O.V.Mom told me today that she and Dad are going on a business trip, which means I have to live with James Luther for more than a month.At least it shows they care about me, and that makes me feel good. They want to ensure I’m safe, especially after what happened a few months ago. I was attacked, and since then, they’ve started paying more attention to me, making sure I’m protected. Though it’s frustrating sometimes, I can’t deny that their concern makes me feel loved.But staying with James isn’t going to be easy. How am I supposed to live under the same roof as him, knowing I can’t act on my desires? Knowing I’ll spend every day wanting something I can’t have? Damn! It’s a big challenge for me.I sit on the bed, packing my bags with Lily’s help. My mind keeps drifting to James—his smouldering gaze, his sharp jawline, and the way his mere presence ignites something within me I can’t seem to control.For the past week, I’ve done nothing but fantasise about dirty things wi
