The sharp silence that followed Eleanor’s words felt like a glass splintering in the air.People passed by and glanced at them with curiosity. The tension between them could be felt from a distancePenelope’s face stiffened, her lips quivering as though she was looking for the perfect comeback to lash back at Eleanor,She finally did, her voice sharp and bitter, burning with fury, “How dare you, Eleanor? You stand there acting so high, mighty and perfect, mocking my family because you have a perfect husband, when all I did was try to correct your daughter out of concern, and you claimed to be my friend?” Eleanor’s calm eyes never wavered. She straightened her back, her tone firm but cutting.“No, Penelope. What you did wasn’t a correction. It was humiliation. There’s a difference. You don’t break someone down and call it care.“ If you aren't ready to be criticised by your own flaws and secrets, you shouldn't do that to others. We were supposed to have each other's backs, but you are

The long dining table glittered under the chandelier, the plates and silverware set near in place, Eleanor moved between the chairs with her usual grace adjusting cutlery, while Ava carried glasses from the cabinet and Eva carefully placed folded napkins by each plate, The house was you've with a quiet hum footsteps echoing, laughter slipping through the halls, But there was an unmistakable tension underneath, not the one from secret or disdain but the kind that always comes when two families come together,Eleanor turned to Ava with a professional tone, “Make sure the water glasses are aligned. Your father is particular about that,” “Yes, Mum,” Ava replied softly, lining them up one by one,” Eva reached for the last napkin but her hands hesitated, resting over her growing baby bump.Eleanor noticed immediately and cautioned her, “Sit down sweetheart, You don't need to do anything, just rest your back and relax,” Eva shook her head stubbornly, “I’m fine, Mom. I want to help,”A

The night before had broken her, she barely had a wink of sleep as the content of Norman’s letter kept replaying in her head,And now morning sunlight pouring across her office desk felt like a cruel spotlight, Ava sat behind her desk, fingers tangled in her hair, staring at the same document she had been trying to read for hours, words blurred into meaningless shapes, She couldn't concentrate, not when Norman’s letter burned through her mind like a curse, Her chest rose and fell in shallow breaths.She gripped her pen too tightly and her inner thoughts spun in her head, ‘I can't live like this… I need answers. I need to see him say it to my face, admit that it was a planned lie to mess with me, some twisted prank. Anything other than what he wrote,”By noon, her decision was made. She couldn’t bury it. She couldn’t wait. She had to see him.She finished up her work at the office quickly and told Ryan that she was running an errand, She left the building and drove to the prison wh

The living room was buzzing with voices, laughter, and the kind of excited tension that only a family gathering could bring, Streamers of pink and blue hung from the ceiling, plates of food covered the dining table, and balloons bobbed against the walls. The air smelled of vanilla cake and fresh flowers, “Alright, alright!” Ryan clapped his hands loudly, his grin mischievous as ever, “Before we get to the big reveal, we need to settle this once and for all,” “Team Boy or Team Girl?”Eva shifted in her seat, her seven month belly resting proudly against her dress; she placed her hands over it, her smile tender yet filled with nervousness.Shawn standing beside her with his arm draped protectively around her shoulders, glanced down at her sparkling eyes with so much love and admiration before he continued speaking“Team Girl,” Shawn announced confidently, voice ringing over the chatter, “No questions asked.”Eva rolled her eyes, “Of course you’d say that,” she scoffed “I mean, look

The hospital hallways smelled of antiseptic and tension. Shawn paced back and forth like a man possessed, his hands running endlessly through his hair, His shirt clung to him with sweat, his heart pounding louder than his footsteps, “Mr. Darlington, please sit,” a nurse said softly as she passed by, but he shook his head violently, “I can’t sit; My wife is there., My children….” His voice cracked, his throat raw.The doors to the labor ward had swallowed Eva whole just minutes ago, but to Shawn, it felt like hours, days, a lifetime, Every cry, every muffled command from the doctors inside made his stomach twist,And then…“Shawn!”He turned sharply to see his mother rushing toward him, her face pale, her eyes wide with worry. She reached him and immediately grabbed his arm.“Where is she? Where’s Eva?” Daine demanded breathlessly, “They took her in. Mom, she’s in labor. Her water broke at the office,” His words came out clipped, frantic.Daine’s mouth fell open in shock before sh
