1: Two Pink Lines

|| Rachel || A single glance at the stick stole my breath. Two pink lines. My fingers went numb. The test nearly slipped from my hand and clattered against the sink. For a heartbeat, the world just—stopped. I didn’t need a doctor to tell me what my heart already knew. The lines stared back at me, silent proof of a love I was never meant to keep. Lines that could either change my life for the better or break it completely. And yet, a smile trembled onto my lips. I brushed my fingers over them again. They were solid, real, undeniable. My hands shook. I was thrilled and terrified all at once. How was I supposed to tell Slade about this? Our three-year contract marriage clearly stated no children. I didn’t need to reread the fine print to remember. I was supposed to be at the office with him, not home staring at a pregnancy test. I’d told him I wasn’t feeling well, and he’d given me the day off without hesitation. That’s just the kind of man he is. In our three years together, he h

2: He Said He’s Engaged

|| Rachel ||I lay on the bed as the doctor pressed the ultrasound wand against the cool gel on my abdomen. On the monitor, the grainy black-and-white swirls shifted. She moved the wand slowly as I closed my eyes, a single, hopeful tear tracing a path to my ear."Congratulations, you're having twins," the doctor announced.My eyes snapped open as she pointed a stylus at the monitor where, now clearly visible, were two perfect, distinct sacs nestled close together — rapid heartbeats pulsing side by side, undeniable proof of two lives."The babies are healthy. They’re both securely in there and developing right on schedule. Everything looks good."Tears prickled my eyes, blurring the sight of the two lives inside me. I couldn’t believe I was not only having one baby but two. Twins."Where is the father?" the doctor asked, looking at me over the rim of her thick, dark-rimmed glasses. Her hair was pulled back in a neat bun."He's busy," I said, managing a sad, weak smile.She held my gaze

3: The Best, Worst Choice

|| Rachel ||It has been two days since Slade left for his business trip. He told me to stay behind because I’ve been feeling so exhausted and nauseous lately. He didn’t even want to go himself, but he had to, and he promised he would come back soon. He has no clue that it’s the pregnancy making me feel like I’ve been running a marathon."Are you sure we’re not going to the doctor?" he asked when he saw me vomiting in the morning before he left."I’m alright, it’s something I ate yesterday," I lied, forcing a smile."Rach, what you ate yesterday is something we always eat. Why would it upset your stomach?"I shrugged and somehow managed to make him let it go, telling him to go and have a safe flight.He was so caring. I knew he would’ve taken care of me like no one else could during the pregnancy, that he’d be a great father to our twins. I wondered how many children he wanted, but that’s a question for his fiancée, not me. We haven’t talked about her since I asked him, and he’s avoid

4: When Hope Shattered

|| Slade || I stared at the engagement ring in my hand. The diamond glistened and burned with a blinding light, its brilliant-cut facets catching the sun. It reminded me of Rachel—of her eyes, the softest blue I’d ever seen. I couldn’t wait to go home and see her. I was going to propose to her, to marry me for real this time, once the contract ended, and finally show her to the world—and more importantly, to my family. I already had the papers ready: a new contract that bound us for life, not just for three years. My family had chosen someone else for me to marry, but I didn’t care. I never even asked who she was, because the one I wanted was Rachel. I loved the way she was—fiercely independent and capable at work, yet soft and vulnerable when she let her guard down with me. Even her jealousy was adorable, like when she asked if I had a fiancée and I said yes. I saw the message she sent me yesterday, saying she had signed the divorce agreement. I only told her yes because

5: Where I Was Found

|| Rachel ||Six Years Later I had already finished making breakfast and packed an early lunch for Rick.Rick walked into the dining room as I finished arranging the breakfast on the table. "Breakfast is ready," I said."Thank you, Rachel, but you know you don't have to do that," he said, sitting down at the table."Rick, I can never thank you enough for what you're doing for us. Let me go and wake the children," I said, walking toward the children's bedroom.I have been living with Rick Gordon for the past five years. I had a major accident six years ago that stole my memory. I can’t remember who I am. When they looked into my record, they found no one. My parents were dead. I was a blank slate with no past, no family, and no identity.I spent a year at the hospital, where I had my miracles—that’s what they call them. My children were indeed my miracle. The accident took so much from me, leaving me physically broken and mentally lost, but it gave me the best gifts in the world: m
