CHAPTER 102: Two little childrenIt was often said that ignorance was bliss, and so was the case of Veronica who had no idea about what had been happening. She was yet to go back to Edward’s house after he kicked her out of his bed. She reclined on her chaise lounge, the soft hum of classical music enveloping her in the living area of her home.The aged chandeliers still managing to hang on to the roof, shimmered in the confines of the room, casting a golden hue across the rapidly declining space. A glass of vintage wine rested delicately in her manicured hand, the day's stress dissipating with each sip.The sudden buzzing of her phone disrupted the serene ambiance. She slightly lifted her upper body off the couch, and glanced at the screen—Dylan. A smirk played on her lips as she answered, "Dylan, to what do I owe this pleasure?" She asked in a sultry tone, biting her lips.His voice oozed amusement. "Veronica, darling, I thought you'd want to see this."Her forehead puckered. “See

CHAPTER 104: A dinner date gone wrongThe atmosphere of the upscale restaurant glowed with an ambiance of soft elegance, muted golden lights from the chandeliers above, casting a romantic shimmer over polished cutlery and crystal glasses. Sarah sat across from Benicio, a reluctant smile dancing on her lips as her fingers traced the rim of her wine glass absentmindedly. She picked up the glass, swirling the red liquid around.The sharp collar of her satin blouse brushed against her skin as she laughed; soft, hesitant, but real at something Benicio had said. He had insisted on them dining out, and though she had resisted at first, now she was glad. It was a moment of peace, a pause from the chaos.It had been so long since they had dined out like they used to do, and they had both missed it.She sat across from him, her fingers still delicately tracing the rim of her wine glass. The laughter had subsided but a soft smile was playing on her lips."I still can't believe you convinced me

CHAPTER 106: It's poetic justice; it's karma The door slammed shut behind Veronica, the echo reverberating through the grand but hollow foyer. Her heels clicked sharply against the marble floor as she huffed in, the fury, and the pain from the restaurant confrontation still coursing through her veins. She was barely holding herself together as it was. Everything seemed to mock her as the opulent chandelier above cast fragmented light, mirroring the chaos within her.She tossed her black purse onto the console table, its contents spilling out: a lipstick, a compact mirror, and a pressed powder. None of it mattered. She wouldn't even care if any of it got ruined. Her life was almost ruined as it was. Her world was unravelling, tilting on its axis, and she needed solace, something to anchor her, or at least a drink.As she entered the living room, the scent of expensive whiskey hit her before she saw him. Dylan lounged on the velvet chaise, a crystal tumbler in hand, his shirt unbutton

CHAPTER 108: Nothing to do with meSarah was finishing some work on her laptop, seated on the couch when the doorbell rang. She had barely risen from her place on the couch, before the familiar silhouette of Edward filled the doorway, tension lining his shoulders.“My apologies if I just barged in. I thought I’d find just the kids. They're always opening the door each time I call. Are they home?” he asked, stepping inside.Sarah’s back straightened. “Yes. They’re napping,” she said coolly, walking back to the couch. “You can wait for them if you're not in a hurry?”He followed her without hesitation. “Of course. I just wanted to check on them.”She went back to finish the work on her laptop. “That's good. I’m sure they’ll be happy to see you. You guys hit it off quite fast so I'm sure they will be glad.”Edward sat down on the couch opposite, his eyes never leaving her face, searching for any sign of warmth. But she had gone back to typing away on her laptop.“Did you expect anything

CHAPTER 110: You look like meSarah’s head snapped toward Edward in disbelief.The silence in the living room was deafening, heavy with questions too big for little hearts, and answers too complex for ones so young. She was more surprised that he had taken the blame for her.She stood with her hands clasped tightly in front of her, knuckles white from the force of restraint. Her gaze shifted from Robyn’s sparkling eyes to Liam’s furrowed brows. Edward stood just a few steps away, arms loose at his sides, his posture deceptively relaxed, though his heart thudded like a drum. The weight of the truth hung between them…visible, palpable, almost suffocating.He did not know why he had instinctively taken the blame for her when he saw her struggling to answer the children.It was Robyn who broke the silence, her tiny voice tinged with awe and disbelief. She was still waiting for either of the adults to further explain and confirm what they heard. She really wished that what she heard was th
