119: Fear of Losing You

* SLADE’S POINT OF VIEW *“I just don't know what to do anymore. I’ve always been able to find a solution for every crisis, but this… I’m at a loss,” I said, leaning my elbows on the dining table as I faced Cale.“Maybe you should just tell Rachel what’s going on. She’s more understanding than you think,” Cale countered. “I mean, look at it this way — you haven’t even seen Aurelia since high school. It’s not like you’re rekindling a flame.”I let out a long, weary sigh.Aurelia and I had that classic high-school-sweetheart relationship.She was the golden girl — the crush I spent months working up the courage to speak to. I used to rehearse my lines in the mirror, my heart racing every time she walked past my locker.When she finally said yes to a date, it felt like my entire world had finally clicked into place.We were inseparable; we even planned our entire futures around going to the same university. I had saved every cent of my allowance just to help pay for her tuition so we wo

120: The Appearance of Order

* SLADE’S POINT OF VIEW *She leaned over my desk to show me the ongoing construction progress at the new waterfront development, tilting her laptop toward me. As she pointed out the architectural details, her blouse gaped open, her cleavage on full display. It was a blatant, uncomfortable exposure that made me immediately regret my decision to hire her.Have I made a massive mistake?She had approached me months ago, sounding desperate for a stable job. I hired her because we had been close friends back at the university, and I thought I could trust her to be professional. Clearly, I was wrong.“Becky…” I said, my voice cold.I stood up abruptly, and she recoiled, confusion flickering across her face as she straightened her posture.“From now on, I want you to dress appropriately for a corporate environment,” I stated firmly.She looked down at herself, casually tugging at the lapels of her suit jacket. “I am dressing appropriately, Slade.”“Button your shirt,” I commanded, gesturin

121: Threads We Can’t See

* RACHEL’S POINT OF VIEW * “I think you’re doing just fine physically,” Rick explained, adjusting his glasses. “These headaches are likely a side effect of your mind trying to bridge the gap. Your subconscious is pushing against the amnesia, and those lost memories are fighting to resurface. It’s like a door that’s been jammed shut for years finally starting to groan under the pressure.” “So, I’m fine?” I asked skeptically. It was hard to feel fine when the pain behind my eyes was intensifying day by day, leaving me feeling like my skull was about to crack open. “Yes, you’re fine. I’ll prescribe some medication to help manage the pressure. But tell me… are you ready for the memories to come back? Do you actually want them? And does Slade?” he asked, his gaze searching mine. I didn’t know the answer. Not really. “We hardly ever talk about it,” I admitted. The truth was, I was desperate for them. I wanted to know who I was before the blank slate. I wanted to understand my history w

122: Between Two Worlds

* SLADE’S POINT OF VIEW *I decided to pick Rachel up from the hospital the moment I finished at the construction site. The dust and noise of the cranes were still echoing in my head, but all I wanted was to see her. I went to Rick's office, but he told me she had just stepped out, so I texted her and waited in the lobby.When I saw her walking toward me with that radiant smile, my heart lifted — until I saw Aurelia following close behind her.My heart didn’t just drop; it seized. A cold, paralyzing dread flooded my veins, making it hard to breathe. What the hell was happening? Of all the people in this hospital, how had they found each other?“Hey,” Rachel said, leaning in to press a soft kiss to the corner of my mouth. I barely felt it. I was staring past her at Aurelia, whose expression shifted from polite curiosity to absolute, bone-chilling shock. She went pale, her eyes widening as the realization hit her: Slade—the man from her past—was Rachel’s husband.Rachel turned back to f

123: Just You and Me

* RACHEL’S POINT OF VIEW * We walked out of the restaurant into the cool night air. Suddenly, Slade bent down in front of me, and I tilted my head, looking at him in confusion. “Slade, what are you doing?” I asked. “Climb on my back,” he said simply.What? He was actually going to give me a piggyback ride in front of all these people? I could feel eyes on us — curious glances, amused smiles, the unmistakable pause of passersby slowing just enough to watch. A soft blush crept up my cheeks as my smile widened. There was something so unexpectedly sweet and grounded about the gesture. Here was this powerful, untouchable man, willing to be playful and vulnerable just to make me laugh… happy. “Slade… people are watching. You’re Slade Pierce,” I reminded him, though my heart was already fluttering. He lifted his head, looking back at me with a smirk. “And you’re my woman. So? Hurry up before they think something else is happening here.” I laughed, the sound bright against the street,

124: Safe Enough for Tonight

* RACHEL’S POINT OF VIEW * We returned to the mansion, which was enveloped in a peaceful silence, save for the low murmur of voices from the kitchen. Emilia and our housekeeper, Heidi, were sitting together, winding down over late-night cups of coffee. “Welcome back,” Heidi said, standing as I entered. “Welcome home,” Emilia added softly. “Thank you,” I replied, offering them a tired but genuine smile. “Heidi, could you please make a fresh cup of coffee for Slade?” He always has coffee every night, but today he looks like he could really use it. “Of course, ma’am,” she said, immediately moving to tend to the machine. “Are the children sleeping?” I asked Emilia, my voice dropping to a whisper, my heart softening just thinking of them. “Yes, they’ve been out for a while. All their homework is done and tucked away,” she assured me. “Thank you, Emilia.” I headed upstairs, stopping first to check on my babies in each of their rooms. I cracked the doors just enough to see their s

125: Outside the Door

* SLADE’S POINT OF VIEW * I had been standing there, looking at him like a stranger. Maybe, to him, I was a stranger. But how do I face him? What do I say to the son who has never known me? How do I tell him I’m his father when I’ve been nothing but a ghost in his life? Declan looked frail in the oversized hospital bed, his sharp features pale and drawn, emphasizing how much he resembled a teenage version of myself. Machines hummed around him, a stark contrast to the lively, athletic boy he was supposed to be. His dark hair lay lank against the white pillowcase, and his gaze was fixed intently on the laptop resting on his lap. What do I even say? “You know you can go in, right?” I heard her voice behind me. I turned from the door to find Aurelia standing beside me. She looked weary, the weight of everything showing in the dark circles beneath her eyes. “And what’s with the sunglasses, Slade? You’re being paranoid,” she said, gesturing toward my face. “Maybe I am,” I replied, m

126: Out of Reach

* RACHEL’S POINT OF VIEW * I had just finished inputting the last of the quarterly reports into the system when I glanced at the clock — it was almost lunchtime. I stretched and stood, heading out to find Slade and see if he wanted to grab a bite. I walked into his office, but he wasn’t at his desk. Instead, Rebecca was lounging on the sofa in the seating area, looking entirely too comfortable. How much I despised her — but there was nothing I could do about her employment status. “Where’s Slade?” I asked, keeping my voice level. What came out of her mouth surprised me, making my blood run cold. “Aren’t you supposed to know where your man is?” she asked with a sly, knowing grin on her painted red lips. She ran a hand through her hair, looking incredibly smug. I ignored her, pulling my phone from my suit pants pocket to call him. Straight to voicemail. I tried again, but he wasn’t picking up. I watched her casually lean over and serve herself a glass of wine from the decanter on

127: Still Connected

* SLADE’S POINT OF VIEW * “So, you really won’t tell me who it is?” I asked for the tenth time — or maybe more. I needed to know if my son was in any danger from the person she was hiding from. “I can’t. I have to protect him,” she said firmly. “You know I’ll end up finding out, right? I always have my resources,” I said. “I know. And after all, you are Slade Pierce now,” she said. “Well, I’ve always been Slade Pierce. I never changed.” “Maybe you have… at least a little bit. You never used to believe me before,” she said with a faint smile. “I always believed you…” “And how about that time you saw a bouquet of roses in your locker and a basket of chocolates?” she challenged. “The ones you left me…” “I wasn’t the one who left you those. It was my cousin.” “Oh… right,” I replied, stretching the words out skeptically. She bumped my shoulder with hers, her hair falling over her eyes as she leaned back. “You see? You still don’t believe me,” she said. I exhal

128: What Money Can’t Save

* SLADE’S POINT OF VIEW * “I needed help… I have a little boutique and a salon that I run. When Dec started showing symptoms, it was manageable. The hospital expenses were tight, but I could squeeze through. Then we were referred to this hospital, his illness kept getting worse, and the expenses just kept piling up. I was in a dilemma — the treatment was too expensive. I was terrified I was going to lose him because of money,” she explained, her voice trembling. She then looked at me. “Trust me, I had no other choice. If I take more money from the salon or the boutique, I’ll end up losing them, and then we’ll have nothing. I couldn’t even get a loan. I never intended to disrupt your life. I searched about you and Rachel… her accident and everything. I kept asking myself if it was even worth coming to you, and I had to gather all the courage I had to approach you as a mother. I would have never reached out if Declan and I were happy — his safety comes first.” “Well, you did the righ
