“She was indeed beautiful,” Antonio said softly, setting the frame down with care. “I miss her every morning. But today… today feels a little brighter because you remind me of her.” My heart stuttered. Silence wrapped around the table like a held breath. *I want to tell him, You’re wrong. We’re nothing alike.* But I swallowed the protest. Maybe not in looks, but perhaps in character, in the way we loved fiercely despite everything. I turned another page to another photo. “How did you two meet?” I asked. “At the beach. She loved the water,” he replied, a faint smile tugging at his lips. That explained the endless beach scenes. And now, thinking about it—maybe that’s why Leo bought a mansion on an island. Even though he never met her, perhaps she’d spent time there while pregnant. Maybe he inherited that pull toward the sea without knowing why. “Funny thing,” Antonio continued, eyes distant with memory. “The first time I saw her, I thought she was a mermaid. I literally ran awa

“She thought she was special,” Olive sneered. “He ended up making you his sex toy. Boy’s got a fetish, and I’m sure each of those children was just a mistake. Poor guy never wanted them.” “Olive! What the hell are you even saying!” Emma snapped. “I let you in this house because our parents said, ‘Oh, she’s your sister, you two should get along.’ I don’t appreciate you talking to my best friend like that.” “Oh, please, shut it.” Olive said with an eye roll and turned to me. “So, Charlotte… look who’s crying now. You hit me because of a man who doesn’t even value you.” Emma turned to me protectively. “Charlotte, please ignore her. Let’s go to my room and talk.” I smirked, wiping the tears from my face with the back of my hand. “It’s okay, Emma.". I smiled at Olive. "Olive, it seems I didn’t do the job well enough last time. The guts to come up here and call my babies mistakes? That’s really something.” She scoffed. “I wasn’t sure what you were implying because I beat you, f

“Gosh, I saw something like that yesterday,” Angela said, eyes still glued to her phone. “It was trending in China, I think, and people were losing their minds. I didn't guess it was our own Charlotte ". Just then a knock echoed through the door. Angela hopped up to answer it. A woman in a crisp black blazer stood there, flanked by two assistants laden with garment bags and sleek makeup cases. “Emma… may I help you?” Angela asked. “We’re here for Charlotte,” the woman announced. “And you are…?” Angela pressed, one eyebrow arched. “We’ve been hired by Leo to get her ready.” Emma and I exchanged wide-eyed glances from the living room—we could hear every word. “Get *you* ready,” Emma whispered, nudging me with a mischievous grin. “Sure, sure—come in, she’s right here,” Angela said, stepping aside with dramatic flair. They swept inside, and the woman I assumed was in charge turned to us. “Which one of you is Charlotte, please?” “This is *your* Charlotte,” Emma declared, sweep

Finally, I reached the tower, where the iconic red steps of Duffy Square rose like a stage.Photographers lined every step—professional ones with massive lenses, and there were news crews too—flashes already popping like fireworks before I even started climbing.Leo stood at the very top in a white suit that made him look like he’d stepped out of a dream.Fresh haircut.In his hands, a massive bouquet of roses wrapped in gold ribbon. He was smiling so hard with his eyes locked on me.He must be enjoying how shocked I am at this plan of his.It's a proposal not a wedding, Leo!“You made it,” he said softly.I swallowed tight and took my first step.The moment my foot touched the staircase, the flashes exploded.Blinding white bursts from every angle. I kept my eyes on him—only him—through the storm of light. Tears were already gathering, hot and unstoppable, blurring the edges of everything except Leo.Every step felt heavier, slower, more sacred.Cameras rained down on me, shutters cl

The engagement has been trending for an entire month. Leo was invited to countless interviews, while I received only a handful. We did our best to stay out of the public eye, but one of the biggest celebrity talk shows managed to convince Leo. When he told me he was going—and that he wanted me to come with him—I didn’t hesitate for a second. I’d been over the moon, walking on air since the proposal. I wanted to be by his side always. That day, my stylist dressed me in a sleek, elegant outfit, and my natural hair was swept up into a sleek, voluminous bun. The kids were at school since it was the middle of the school day. “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mystery voice and his fiancée!” **Backstage** I started to step out, but Leo gently pulled me back. The director hurried over, clearly wondering about the delay. Honestly, so was I. “I’d prefer to be introduced as the famous actress Charlotte’s fiancé, if you don’t mind,” Leo said calmly. “She’s worked hard
