TITLED 'LOVELY IMPERFECTIONS, ' IT'S A STAND-ALONE BOOK ABOUT NATHAN AND THE GIRL HE FALLS IN LOVE WITH. 💞✨💞✨💞✨💞✨💞✨💞✨💞✨ Sophie (10 years later, June 18th) I stood at my kitchen island, finishing the last touches on my baby's cupcakes. It was his birthday today, finally turning five years old.

The date glared up at her in black ink. December 15th, 2020. Five years ago. Her wedding day. The day she'd married Seris Ashford in a ceremony that had cost more than most people's houses and meant absolutely nothing to the groom. "Miss Winters?" "I'm fine," Silver called out, her voice steadier than she felt. "Give me a moment." She heard Marie's footsteps retreat and sank into the desk chair, her mind racing. This was insane. People didn't just wake up five years in the past. They didn't get do-overs. Death was final. The river had been real—she could still feel the ghost of that cold, the burn in her lungs, the moment her body had simply given up.

Aisha's POV The Paris sky that evening was a golden orange, reflecting the shadows of streetlights on the bustling city sidewalk. I sat on the balcony of my apartment, watching the hustle and bustle below while sipping on warm tea. Five years had passed since I left my old life. Five years since I chose to disappear. Along the way, I had found a new self, but the shadows of the past still clouded my mind. I was no longer the weak woman who felt unworthy of love. Now, I was a respected heart surgeon.

He ignored the pressure from two Alphas bearing down on him and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I’m telling the truth! Wren left me five years ago, and she was already pregnant! That pup over there? He’s mine! The timeline fits perfectly! What, do you all think I’m blind?" His voice rose higher, thick with accusation. "Alpha Nolan, are you really okay with this? Raising another’s pup like your own?" I laughed. At first, it was a low chuckle, but it grew louder and louder until tears welled up at the corners of my eyes. "Oh, Aiden," I said, voice edged with scorn. "You’re still the same arrogant, delusional fool. You really don’t know, do you? That child you’ve been dreaming of, the one you

"You still haven't answered me. Has Naomi come out of hiding? Where is she? She's evaded us for five years, but not this time. This time, I'll make sure she doesn't escape." A grim smile inexplicably played on Sebastian's lips as he said, "That better be her body! She has been on the run for five years! Even in death, she doesn't deserve pity! In fact, it simply is a disgrace to have a murderer like her as the daughter of the Clarke family!" Rebecca, who had been trembling moments before, exhaled quietly, relief washing over her at Sebastian's harsh declaration. But I saw what no one else noticed. His hands trembled faintly, betraying the storm raging within him.

"What are you talking about? What kindergarten? Who's Dottie?" My hair stood, my tears threatening to run down my face. "What are you saying? Dottie, our daughter—Dorothy Grant!" A helpless sigh escaped him. "Honey, we've been married for five years. Both of us work and decide not to have children. You've never even given birth." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I had never given birth? Who was that girl this morning who clung to my neck and smelled like milk and honey? What about the scar on my belly, the one I got from giving birth to her?

The man I'd been with for five years still seemed to be clinging to his first love. Tears rolled down my cheeks. Those five years suddenly felt like a cruel joke. So it turned out he'd never truly forgotten about Lucy. I went back to my room, and he didn't return to bed the entire night. When Andrew showed up the next day, he brought me a pair of sapphire earrings. Why did he suddenly give me a gift? I looked at him in confusion, but he avoided my gaze. "Evie," he said, his voice low. "There's something I need to tell you. Thank you for staying by my side all these years. I thought I'd be with you forever, but…"

As the man glanced at Axel, the little boy shot him a look of displeasure, as Jonathan had carelessly touched his mother. Amelie glanced around; fortunately, the shop was very crowded, so she could escape everyone's gaze in case Jonathan forced her to speak, which could have provoked her anger in front of many people. Without further ado, Amelie immediately started to lead Axel out of the shop. She had to make sure he wasn't late for school. To hell with the throbbing love that tempted her to keep standing near Jonathan. The hunger pangs that tickled Jonathan no longer bothered him. The man chose to go out to catch up with Amelie and Axel. He had to hear from Amelie's mouth for sure whether

Five Years Later Soane’s POV Five years changes everything. The country I return to barely recognizes the woman stepping out of the black car in front of the grand hotel. Five years ago I left with swollen eyes, a broken heart, and a single suitcase full of documents. Today I arrive in tailored heels and a fitted cream suit that hugs my body perfectly, my hair falling neatly over my shoulders, my posture straight and unshaken. The woman who fled in humiliation is gone, replaced by someone colder, sharper, someone who has learned exactly how cruel the world can be and survived it anyway.
