Nick’s POV“Dad…” Dylan beamed at me while I held a pouch of steak and hotdogs.“Look! I got a shampoo that’s anti-dandruff and good for your hair,” he said proudly.“Wow, that’s great,” I replied with a smile. He had insisted on choosing it himself, just for me.“Actually, a pretty girl helped me with this,” he confessed in the cutest way, then pointed toward a woman walking out of the grocery.Her back… it looks familiar. I stared at her for a long moment.“She’s sexy, right?” Dylan asked seriously.I chuckled and ruffled his hair. “This kid… you’re too cheeky.”“Come on, let’s pay for these.”After checking out, we headed upstairs.“How do you like living here?” I asked as I unpacked the groceries.“The house looks nice. Anywhere we live, Daddy, as long as I’m with you, I’m happy.”I couldn’t help but smile at his words. “Thank you, son.”“Go watch some TV. I’ll start cooking.”“Can I do a video call with Grandma and Grandpa?”“Of course, son.”“Thank you!” he said, running off

Scarlett’s POVI was in a rush, almost dropping my phone as I grabbed it, I couldn’t afford to be late for Miss Audrey Castellan’s grand gallery opening. We were supposed to meet earlier, but our schedules had been insane lately. There’s been so much on my plate ever since Aiah and I moved here to the country.“I’m going, babe!” I called out as I hurried down the stairs.“You look stunning, Mom!” Aiah said with a smile, hugging her teddy bear.I couldn’t help but smile back. “Thank you, babe. Be a good girl, okay? And sleep early?”“Yes, Mom!” she answered, blowing me a flying kiss.I rushed out and stepped into the waiting car outside the mansion. We were only staying here temporarily while my condo was still being prepared. The condo was closer to the city, perfect, especially if my partnership with Miss Castellan turned out successful. Her gallery was within walking distance from it.Sure, I could open my own gallery, but the process was a hassle. Too many things to do, and my retu

George’s POVShe is Jessica… or at least, that’s what I thought.But when she came closer and I saw in her eyes that she didn’t recognize us, it was as if the ground swallowed my hope whole. Pain surged instantly in my chest, sharper still when I heard her voice. Strong. Steady. Confident. As if she had never been broken.And her aura, it was almost radiant.The most painful part? She walked away from us like we were strangers. No smile. No second glance.I saw how she held the hand of the man who called her name, how every laugh and look she gave him carried warmths, though that was where her happiness lived now.She didn’t even look back at us.Slowly, I turned to Nick. He was trying to keep himself together, but it was written all over him, he was fuming inside. I couldn’t tell if it was pain, jealousy, or the chaos in his thoughts, but he was drowning in emotions.“Huh…” A heavy, bitter sigh escaped him.But on my side, something else stirred in my heart.My feelings tumbled a

Scarlett’s POVI turned when I heard George’s voice. It was as if the world around me vanished, and the only sound I could hear was the pounding of my heart. I stopped breathing. My body froze in place.“Here, you dropped this earlier.” He handed me a handkerchief, my handkerchief. My favorite one, with my name embroidered on it. I just stared at it. I couldn’t move. Time seemed to stop.“Here…” he repeated, firmer this time, his eyes wide. I could feel him measuring me, waiting for any kind of reaction.“Thank you,” I whispered, quickly snatching the handkerchief from his hand. I was about to turn away when I suddenly felt his hand grip my arm.“Scarlett.” I swallowed hard. Shit. The warmth of his palm on my skin jolted me like electricity. I looked at his hand holding my arm, I couldn’t move.I thought I was ready to face him. But I wasn’t. Fear. Panic. Tightness. Everything hit me all at once.Slowly, I turned my head. And that’s when I saw his eyes, filled with emotion

Audrey’s POVI couldn’t sit still. I couldn’t stand his stare.The silence was deafening.I wanted to refuse Papa. I wanted to say I didn’t want it. But I knew he rarely asked for favors. He rarely looked at me with that kind of reassurance, trusting, hopeful.What I couldn’t accept… was that this man would be my mentor.Nicholas Ford. I can’t stand him. I don’t like the way he looks at me. It wasn’t just a look. It felt like… he was undressing me, reading my soul, examining secrets I never wanted to hand over to anyone.I forced a smile when he accepted my father’s offer.“It’s settled then. Thank you so much, Mr. Ford. I know my daughter will learn a lot from you,” Papa said.“Sure, Mr. San Fernando. I’ll take care of your daughter,” he replied with a smile, a smile I’d never seen on him before.I froze. There was a different aura to that smile. I always thought he was serious all the time, furrowed brow, cold. But now… something else. A light in his eyes. Joy? Or maybe anticipatio
