Chapter Sixty One

Sage.I sank into the couch, Theo finally settled upstairs in his crib, the gentle rise and fall of his chest lulling me into a sense of fragile calm.Maya flopped down beside me, still buzzing with energy, her eyes darting toward the living room window as if she expected someone to appear out of thin air. I could almost hear the gears turning in her head, all chaotic and unfiltered.“Can you believe her?” Maya said suddenly, shaking her head, her voice low but sharp. “She actually faked a whole pregnancy. I mean, a whole pregnancy to keep a man.”I sighed, curling my fingers around the edge of the couch cushion, feeling the tension in my shoulders. “Maybe she really is pregnant,” I said carefully, trying to keep my tone neutral, because I didn’t want to escalate Maya’s already fiery thoughts. “You never know.”Maya turned to me, her eyes wide, incredulous, like I had just suggested that pigs might fly. “Oh, baby, you are so naive, no,” she said, leaning back dramatically. “She is not

Chapter Sixty Two

EllaI wake up before the alarm. The house is still dark, the kind of quiet that only exists in the early hours of the morning, when secrets feel heavier and courage feels thinner. For a moment, I lie there staring at the ceiling, my heart already racing, my mind already several steps ahead of my body.Today is the day.I slip out of bed carefully, moving slowly so the mattress doesn’t shift too much. Andre doesn’t stir. His breathing remains deep, steady. Unaware. I watch him for a second longer than necessary, studying his face in his sleep, the strong jaw, the faint crease between his brows that never fully relaxes anymore.This is for us, I tell myself. Everything I am doing is for us. I dress up quickly, choosing something simple and understated with no makeup beyond the bare minimum. I want to look vulnerable today. Soft. Real. I grab my bag, hesitate at the bedroom door, then quietly leave without telling anyone where I’m going.The morning air outside is crisp, biting agains

Chapter Sixty Three

Sage. I gripped Theo a little tighter in the crook of my arm as we walked toward the hospital doors. He was half asleep, the gentle weight of him warm against my chest, his tiny fingers curling around mine. Maya bounced alongside me, her usual energy on high alert. I could feel it radiating off her, a mixture of mischief and vigilance. Today was supposed to be simple drop by to see Mom, let her hold her grandson, and get back home before things got complicated.But life, as usual, had other plans.We stepped out into the parking lot, the sunlight catching on the sleek black cars and glinting off the hospital windows. I took a deep breath, bracing for the ordinary. And then I saw them.Andre and Ella.The world seemed to compress for a second. My chest tightened, Theo stirred slightly against me, and Maya’s eyes immediately narrowed as she noticed them. Andre was talking, his hand casually resting on the back of Ella’s chair as they walked toward the hospital. Ella she had that sm

Chapter Sixty Four

SageThe call comes just after the house finally exhales and I am ready for some personal down time. .Theo is asleep upstairs, his soft breathing echoing faintly through the baby monitor. Maya is humming in the kitchen, something low and tuneless as she cleans up. For the first time all day, the world feels momentarily balanced, but that doesn't last long, my phone rings.Wolfe’s name lights up the screen, and something in my chest tightens instantly, like my body knows before my mind does.“Hello?” I answer, already standing.“Sage,” he says, and the way he says my name careful, controlled makes my stomach drop. “It’s your mom.”My hand tightens around the phone. “What about her?”“She collapsed again,” he says. “She is conscious, but they are taking her in for tests. I’m on my way to the hospital now.”The room suddenly feels still and white.“I’m coming,” I say immediately. “I will be there in twenty minutes.”I don’t wait for him to respond. I end the call, my pulse roaring in m

Chapter Sixty Five

Andre.I can’t focus on anything after that elevator kiss.Not the hum of the engine beneath us, not the familiar stretch of road leading away from the hospital, not even the dull ache settling behind my eyes from a day that’s wrung me dry. All I can see,feel is her. Sitting there in the passenger seat like nothing happened. Like the world didn’t tilt on its axis the moment our lips touched in that elevator.Sage stares out the window, her face calm, unreadable, the city lights sliding across her features as if they have no right to linger. One hand rests in her lap, the other loosely holding her phone, though I don’t think she’s actually looking at it. She hasn’t said a word since we got in the car.And it’s driving me insane.I grip the steering wheel tighter than necessary, my jaw clenched so hard it hurts. I have faced hostile boardrooms, life or death decisions, pressure that would crush most people, but this? This silence? It’s unbearable.Because how can she sit there like th

Chapter Sixty Six

AndreBy the time I pull into the driveway, my hands are gripping the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles ache.The drive home is a blur of red lights and half-remembered streets, my mind racing faster than the car ever could. I replay the elevator over and over again Sage’s breath hitching, her body rigid with fear, the way her hands clutched my shirt like I was the only solid thing left in the world.The kiss, her scent, her soft lips, the way she kissed me back with so much passion. I squeeze my eyes shut for half a second as I park, my chest tightening as I remember what she said, it wa nothing she was caught up in the moment she said, we should go back to our normal lives, but how could I when she awoke a part of me that had been dead for a while? It shouldn’t have happened. It meant nothing. That’s what she said. An act of the moment.But if that was nothing, then why does it feel like everything in my life shifted off its axis?I slam the car door harder than necessary and

Chapter Sixty Seven

SageThe car disappears behind me in a rush of red taillights and silence.For a moment, I just stand there on the side of the road, my arms wrapped tightly around myself, the night air biting through my clothes. My chest feels hollow, like something vital was scooped out and left behind on the asphalt with Andre’s words still ringing in my ears.Come back, Sage, but I didn’t, I couldn’t.Walking felt like the only thing I could do one foot in front of the other, letting the anger burn itself out, letting the ache dull into something manageable. The streetlights blur as tears sting my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall. Not here. Not over him. Not again.I don’t get far before a car slows beside me.I tense instantly, instinct screaming at me to keep moving, to say no, to protect myself. The passenger window rolls down, and a man leans slightly toward me, hands still firmly on the wheel.“Hey,” he says gently. “You okay?”His voice isn’t threatening. Just concerned.I stop walking,

Chapter Sixty Eight

SageI stare at my hands for a long time before I speak.They are shaking again. Not the violent kind just a subtle tremor that tells on me, that tells my mother everything before I even open my mouth. She notices, of course. She always has. Even now, with a hospital bracelet on her wrist and a quiet machine counting her breaths, she is still watching me the way she did when I was a child, the way mothers do when they know the truth is circling.“Baby,” she says softly. “You don’t have to be afraid of me, you can talk to me baby.”That’s what breaks me.I press my lips together, nodding, trying to pull myself together, but the tears come anyway. They blur the room, the pale walls, the IV pole, the familiar curve of my mother’s face.“I need to tell you something mom,” I whisper. “I should have told you a long time ago.”She shifts carefully, patting the edge of the bed. “Come here.”I move closer, sitting on the chair beside her, but leaning in until my forehead nearly touches her ar

Chapter Sixty Nine

RosaI had learned, over the years, that hospitals had a way of pulling memories out of you whether you wanted them or not.The smell of antiseptic. The soft beeping of machines. The muted footsteps in the hallway outside my room. They all blended together, tugging at threads I had spent decades carefully knotting and tucking away. Tonight, those threads were unraveling.Andre sat beside my bed, his large hand wrapped around mine, his thumb rubbing slow circles into my skin like he had done so many times before. It was a habit he didn’t even realize he had picked up. When he was anxious. When he was afraid. When he felt like the ground beneath him was cracking.And tonight, he felt like he was standing over a fault line.The door had just closed behind Sage minutes earlier. I had watched her walk out with that familiar tightness in her shoulders, pretending she was stronger than she felt. I had seen that posture before in the mirror, many years ago.Andre stared down at our joined h

Chapter Seventy

Rosa.Andre’s “What?” lingered in the air between us, heavy and fragile, like a glass ornament that might shatter if handled the wrong way.I took a slow breath.This was not a story I had ever planned to tell him. Some truths feel too sharp to hand to someone you love, especially when they involve a parent. But Andre was already bleeding from questions he didn’t have answers to. Leaving him in the dark would only make the wounds fester.So I tightened my grip on his hands and began.“I knew your mother,” I said quietly. “Long before she became your mother. Before money. Before marriage. Before the version of her you grew up with.”Andre didn’t interrupt me. He didn’t pull away. He just listened, his eyes fixed on mine, his face open in a way that told me he was bracing himself.“We met in the system,” I continued. “Foster care.”His brows furrowed. “The system?”I nodded. “Anna never talked about her childhood, did she? She had curated her image to look a certain way”He shook his h
