I woke up to the feeling of two pairs of arms wrapped around me on both sides.A soft smile formed on my lips when I realized Stephie had somehow joined us during the night and was now sleeping peacefully beside me.I turned to check Savvy and let out a quiet sigh of relief when I felt his forehead.His fever was gone.My eyes stung from the lack of sleep, but I was used to waking up early to prepare breakfast for them.I fixed their blankets before quietly stepping out of the room.Rubbing the back of my neck, I headed toward my room to freshen up before going downstairs.But the yawn I was about to let out froze in midair the moment I stepped inside.Steffano was there.He was standing near the bed, drying his hair with a towel. Water still dripped down from his hair, tracing a path along his bare chest and down his abdomen.The only thing he was wearing was a pair of low-slung pajama pants.Aside from his well-built body, what caught my attention were the scars scattered across his

“Luckily, it’s just a strain. No broken bones,” Alexa said. “But make sure you let your arm rest and avoid moving it too much. Are you sure you don’t want a sling?”I shook my head, glancing at the elastic bandage wrapped around my wrist and up my arm. At least my shoulder wasn’t affected.“If it’s better for her, why don’t you just put one on?” Steffano said.I shook my head again.“No, it’s fine, Steffano. The kids will worry. They might think something serious happened to me. I’m okay now—it doesn’t hurt that much anymore.”He sighed but didn’t argue further.Even before we reached the entrance of the mansion, I could already hear Stephie’s voice echoing from the living room.“Where is Mommy, Grandma?”“They’ll be here soon, sweetheart,” Glo replied.“I’m here!&rdq

“Dad, put an apron on Mom. She forgot to wear one,” Savvy instructed.He conveniently ignored the fact that he wasn’t wearing one either—his shirt already dusted with flour.“And why did you remind me about your mom but not me?” Steffano asked.Savvy just laughed and high-fived his twin, clearly enjoying teasing their father even more.“Turn around,” Steffano murmured near my ear.He was so close that I felt a shiver run down my spine.I swallowed, raising my arms slightly as his hands wrapped around my waist, tying the apron behind me.“Mommy, say cheese!”I looked up, surprised to see Stephie no longer beside us. She was now standing next to Savvy, both of them holding up a phone.“Smile, Mommy,” Savvy added.I cleared my throat and forced a smile for them.But I froze when I felt Steffano’s arm wrap around my waist again—

I used to have a lot of friends when I was a kid.Even though I didn’t grow up in a complete family, I was never really lonely. I loved making new friends… but I remember having one problem.I got attached too easily.Back in grade school, I had a friend who died.I still remember how devastated I was.Even at that young age, I lost all motivation to go to school… to eat… to do anything. It got so bad that my family had to send me to therapy.After that, something in me changed.I became distant.I wasn’t that bubbly little girl anymore, the one who could easily laugh and befriend anyone.Even with Tim, it took me a long time before I truly let him into my life.Because deep down, I kept thinking…One day, he’ll leave too.One day, I’ll lose him.And I did.When I lost him…When I lost my child…Something inside me died.Will it happen again?It’s all your fault… You shouldn’t have crossed that line.Right.I should’ve reminded myself.Stephie and Savvy were never really mine.I’m not
