Melissa’s POV SIX YEARS LATER ************ “If you cancel this blind date, I swear to God I am going to be the death of you.” I stared at the message on my phone as I arrived at the restaurant. The threat, sent by my best friend, Vanessa, was enough to make me sigh in frustration. Honestly, if it were left to me, I wouldn't even have considered going on a date, let alone a blind one. Especially not after everything I had been through. My relationship with my ex-fiancé, Sebastian, had ended so brutally that I had almost lost myself trying to recover from it. Since then, I had made up my mind to focus on my work and my six-year-old son, Ethan. He is my world after all. The one person who made everything I had endured feel worth it. Even my parents, who should have been my greatest source of comfort, had changed towards me after my relationship with Sebastian fell apart. They blamed me for the messy breakup, especially because I had chosen to put myself first inste

Nathaniel's POV ************ The moment we reached the parking lot, Melissa slipped her hand out of my grip. I stared at my now-empty hand for a second before lowering it to my side. What the hell was that? I'd known the woman for less than ten minutes, yet I'd found myself holding her hand as though it were the most natural thing in the world. Ridiculous.

The defiance in her eyes remained, but the tension around her mouth betrayed how exhausting the evening had been for her. She was try

Melissa’s POV ********** After my words echoed through the room, my parents exchanged surprised glances but my mother was the first to recover. “You found someone?” She repeated, her voice sharp with disbelief. “Yes, I did.” I kept my voice steady, even though my heart was pounding so loud I was sure they could hear it. I knew perfectly well that I had just told the biggest lie of my life. My father leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers as he studied me. “Well, that’s certainly interesting. So, who is this man?” I shrugged, looking nonchalant. “Does that really matter?” “Melissa!” My mother looked at me incredulously, her mouth falling open. “How can you say that? Of course it matters! We need to know who you’re planning to marry.” “Why? Are you going to interview him before allowing me to say yes?” My voice cracked a little at the end. “Don’t be ridiculous.” My mother said, “Then perhaps you should stop treating my marriage like a family recruitment exercise.” I
