Silas's POV “Julian…what are you talking about?” Julian's hands were shaking as he reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out my Patek Philippe watch and my leather wallet. “I'm sorry…I swear…I was going to pay you back. I just…I just wanted to save my mother's life and I didn't know what else to do” “Julian…damn it, you think I'd throw you in jail over an ordinary watch?” “But I…” “If you want…I would buy you five watches”

" He pulled out a fancy little wooden box from his pocket, but before he could hand it over, Ruby grabbed it. "Wow! It's gorgeous!" Ruby's eyes lit up as she admired the gem. "Isn't this the true love gem from Lord of Winterhold? You can't even buy these!" Iris, caught off guard, quickly said, "You like it? Then it's yours." Ruby put on a show of hesitation. "I can't possibly take this. It's a special gift you picked out for my sister..." Her words trailed off, but her eyes stayed locked on me, a smug smile playing on her lips.

I hadn’t realized she would be able to see the laptop screen. I sat up fast. My eyes landed on the laptop screen and I found it. The bracelet. The exact one I had given Claire the day she got that job at Café One. Why did Isabella have it? I slammed the laptop shut and turned to Serena. She was already asleep. I stood up quietly, pulled on my clothes, and walked out of the room without wasting time. Something was very wrong.

Like creating rhythmic waves of air pressure that mimic a suction sensation. It’s quiet but... does a lot of intense work. I pull the second one out and my knees go weak. I haven't seen this stuff before. It's even called a 'Dual-Action Maverick'. I drop it next to the Midnight Rose and fish for the third. I still haven't seen this one before. It's a pearlescent white device with two distinct parts: a thick, contoured shaft for internal reach and a flexible rear... I stare at the four of them laid out on my bed.

your birthday” his words left me in shock. “What- What? What will you get me? Are you thinking of giving me your car?” I asked and he laughed, making me feel stupid…of course he won’t give me his car, this is a Lamborghini Veneno, the second most expensive car in the world….why on earth will he give it to me? How could I even be so stupid to think that? “No hunny, I don’t give second-hand gifts. I’ll buy you a brand new one” he said. “Wha- what? You are going to buy me a car?” I asked, not believing what I just heard. “Yes,” he confirmed. “You are going to buy me a car like this one?” still in shock, I asked my second question. “Yes,” he confirmed again. “You are going to buy me a brand new

I say to her, handing her my gift. “You weren’t supposed to get me anything,” she says. “You weren’t supposed to get me anything for my birthday either so apparently neither of us listens well,” I say. “Can I open it?” she asks. “It’s your birthday,” I say, enjoying being so close to her again. She opens the bracelet that I got her. She likes dangly bracelets and this one is white gold with a charm that has Ramon’s image etched in it. She smiles and holds it out. “Will you put it on me?”

In the span of a few short months, they had lost all three of their children. The mansion that had once been filled with laughter was left with only two living corpses. Every day, they sat in the apartment I had rented, where the traces of my life remained. An old desk, a few worn textbooks, and an empty box that had once held the tie clip. My mother held the box in her hands, running her fingers over it again and again. "Jordan, I received your birthday present." My father stared endlessly at the contract for the artificial heart that I would never use. Silent tears slipped down his face.

She had been betrayed once before, and she refused to let it happen again. As she walked out of Ethan's life, Lily felt a sense of sadness but also a sense of relief. She knew that she had made the right decision, and that she was finally free to find someone who would truly love and respect her. She had learned that sometimes, "a second chance with someone new was the best thing you could ask for".

His eyes—steady, deep brown, and profoundly familiar—swept past me, then snapped back. The recognition was immediate, but his reaction was carefully controlled. There was no mockery, no venom, just a sudden, faint tightening around his mouth, a flash of something unreadable—was it pain? Disappointment?—before his face became a perfect, unmoving mask of professional neutrality. He treated me the way you would treat a priceless, but severely cracked, antique vase: with immense caution and distance. "Ms. Jamie?" Mr. Sanford’s deep voice cut through my paralysis. "Is the yuzu glaze homemade?"

Killian POV： I pulled out the certificate with trembling hands. The name was written in bold letters—Selena Blackmoor. Not Clara. Never Clara. My vision blurred. My chest tightened until it was hard to breathe. She had signed it away. She had given up on being my mate. Tears burned my eyes as I staggered back, clutching the paper like a knife buried in my palm. On the desk, an envelope caught my gaze. My name scrawled in her familiar handwriting.
