Lexie had no idea how long she'd been standing still in front of Ram, silently processing the words he had just said."Our marriage meant everything to me..."Lexie tried to compose herself and forced herself to meet his gaze."Our marriage meant everything to me, Lexie. Must I draw it out of you like blood from stone?"Moments later, he repeated the words again. Lexie could almost go deaf from the pounding of her own heart. For a quick second, she was scared that Ram might hear it too."You gave me beautiful things, Ram. Put me in a beautiful home, made me experience heaven by your side..."Lexie whispered, feeling incredibly sad."Except nothing was beautiful, not really.I loved you. You knew I was loyal to you. You knew that I was yours. I gave myself to you, and yet I couldn’t help but feel like I was nothing but your new playmate."She accused, her voice breaking."I was too young for you, too naïve, and I didn’t know the rules of your game."She added with another accusation, n

Lexie forced a welcoming and accepting expression on her face, even though deep down she didn’t want to open the door. If it weren’t for her daughter pulling her again, she wouldn’t have turned the doorknob.Lexie sharply inhaled as soon as the door opened and revealed a tall, tan-skinned, serious-faced, and undeniably handsome man standing there. He was wearing denim shorts down to his knees, a black t-shirt, and holding a beautiful bouquet.For a brief moment, Lexie thought of smiling and raising her hands to accept the flowers from Ram—only to quickly drop the idea when Ram moved them away.“See? Now you embarrassed yourself, dumbass,” she scolded herself internally, forcing a smile that ended up looking more like a grimace. Her irritation grew when she caught the restrained smirk on Ram’s face.Lexie fought the urge to roll her eyes at him, knowing full well that if their daughter weren’t there, she would’ve hit him already.Her irritation doubled when Ram finally broke into a ful

“It’s late, Ram. I think you should leave.”Lexie bit her lip as she spoke, avoiding Ram’s probing gaze.Of all the perfect places and timing, why did Ram have to choose now to kiss her? Now she didn’t know how to meet his eyes—especially since he had the nerve to smirk afterward.She let out a frustrated sigh when Ram pulled her close again. Lexie tried not to close her eyes as he gently caressed her face, his hand sliding up to her nape, massaging it tenderly.“R-Ram, you sh—you should leave,” she stuttered again.“Are you sure?”Ram asked, his voice laced with mischief, making her squirm.“N-no…”Lexie whispered, seemingly in a daze, only to snap out of it when she heard Ram chuckle softly.“I mean, y-yeah. I need you to l-leave. It’s late and we should all get some rest.”She corrected quickly, but it didn’t seem to affect him. His grin only widened.“I’m serious, Ram. You need to go,” she added firmly.“Okay then, I’ll go. Pack your things, Lexie. I’ll pick you up in the afternoo

It was past nine when Macy finally fell asleep. Lexie smiled briefly, then gently stroked her daughter’s hair before slowly getting out of bed to go to her own room.Lexie didn’t know whether she should be thankful that Ram agreed to let her have her own bedroom.She argued that even though she and Ram had decided to start over, after six years of being apart, she still needed her own privacy now.How could she sleep in the same room with him after getting used to sleeping alone for six years? Besides, she couldn’t deny she still felt awkward around Ram.It had been six years—she believed it was only natural to feel this way.Ram was never open about his feelings, and Lexie tried to understand. She herself had said they should take things slow—one step at a time. And even though things were slowly getting better between them, she couldn’t say they had truly forgiven each other yet.It takes time to heal, as they say.Lexie walked carefully and quietly, especially when she passed by Ra

It was past nine in the evening when her cousin Claire and Andrew decided to leave. Lexie had already tucked Macy into bed, and it didn’t take long before her daughter fell asleep.Maybe she had just gotten too tired from playing around with her aunt.Lexie smiled to herself and quickened her pace toward her room.She may have let herself slip last night and allowed herself to share Ram Jordan’s bed—but she had no intention of doing the same tonight.She was beaming at the thought of reuniting with her cousin Claire, and she was pleased to know that even Claire hadn’t given up searching for her. And even more so, she felt pleased knowing that Ram Jordan, despite everything that happened between them, had never given up on her either. Although it still wasn’t clear how he truly felt, Lexie could no longer deny that she was still hoping… hoping for the best.There’s nothing wrong with hoping, right?Lexie jumped in surprise the moment she entered her room and saw Ram Jordan lying on her
