The club was the biggest in the city. More than a hundred people filled the room, dancing, drinking, and celebrating.The crew sat down, smiles on their lips as they watched the fun for a moment."When did you build this?" Jace asked, surprised.The clubhouse had just been built by Ray. It was his first task after he took charge of his father's business."Aren't I great?" Ray asked, grinning. He had kept it a surprise from everyone to surprise them.Holly leaned closer to him for a second and stared into his gaze. "I'm proud of you," she said.Ray's eyes lit up at her compliment. He forgot for a second that they were keeping it a secret and closed the space between them, kissing her right there on the lips.Holly widened her eyes and quickly pushed him away. She glared at him. "What are you doing?" she pretended to scold, then turned to watch the others' reaction, but their faces looked calm, almost unbothered.No surprise at all."Don't tell me... You guys knew?" Holly asked, but the

The sky was quiet that morning, covered with a thin layer of grey clouds that softened the sunlight. Jace stood beside the black car for a moment before moving. His hand rested briefly on the door, his jaw tight, his eyes distant. Beside him, Katrina stepped out slowly, holding a flower. She slipped her hand into his, and he grabbed it, holding it tightly. Vivian came around from the other side, her expression calm but solemn. Without a word, the three of them began walking along the stone path. They stopped in front of Morris Holloway's grave. They all stood still for a long moment as the wind moved faintly through the trees. Vivian stepped forward first. She placed the bouquet she had brought at the base of the grave and knelt down to kiss the headstone. "I'm sorry I came late," she whispered, her eyes welling up. Katrina moved forward, and with Jace, they put the flower down too. "Thank you, Morris," Katrina mouthed. She turned to Jace to say something, but the words

THREE YEARS LATER... -- The past three years had changed everything. Katrina stood at the edge of the campus lawn, holding a stack of books against her chest as she stared at the large building ahead. Students moved around her, laughing, chatting, and rushing to classes. It was her final semester, and in just a few more weeks, she would be done. A slow smile touched her lips as her phone buzzed with a message from Holly. Holly: He’s here. And he’s loud. The text read. Katrina laughed and immediately called her. The call connected to the sound of a baby crying and Ray panicking. “Why is he crying again?” Ray’s voice came through. “He was just fed!” “Because you’re talking too loudly,” Holly snapped weakly. “I’m whispering!” Ray argued. “You don’t whisper. You announce.” Katrina laughed. “How’s my favorite new mom?” “Tired. Hungry. Happy. Emotional. And very angry that I couldn’t drink for nine months. And now that I have the chance, I still can't drink,” Holl

Jace lifted a brow. Seeing the look on her face, he turned to her. "Carissa?" he repeated."The one who is supposedly the perfect match for you," Katrina said.Jace chuckled lightly. "She's just a business partner," he said."She's beautiful," Katrina pointed out.Jealousy was evident in her eyes, and it made Jace chuckle again. He moved closer to her and kissed her on the lips."You think she's beautiful?" he asked.Katrina pouted. "You don't?" She lifted her brows. "Everyone thinks otherwise," she said.Jace chuckled again, watching her jealousy with amusement. "Really? I didn't know that," he said innocently.Katrina frowned at his unseriousness and grabbed a pillow to hit him with. He caught it and stopped her.Jace pulled her to himself and kissed her passionately. Their eyes met, and Katrina's expression softened."You want to know what I think about her?" Jace asked softly, his eyes moving down to her lips."She's lying in front of me, staring into my eyes," he said slowly. "An
