I replied with a fake chuckle. "Dreams do come true, " He says. "What problem you have with me?" I asked him. "Ohh, don't you recall how you thug me?" He asks back. "I was broke that time but if you want I can pay you for my old dirty deeds, " He laughed at me. "Money isn't everything I want, Kid, but Eleanor has told me how you are fooling her sister Elina currently the girlfriend of the firstborn child of Vincent, " He said. "It's my matter so it would be better for you to stay out of it, " He chuckled.

It was a known fact that Melody Shaw, the school belle, only dated people for three months. Yet, she went out with me for nine months. Everyone said that it was proof that I was her true love. However, a viral post in the forums said that her true love, Mike Clint, had returned and that she would ditch me for him soon enough. I thought it was a joke and wanted to show it to her, but she turned to her side and pulled away from me, pretending to be asleep. I thought she was upset that a girl gave me her number, but I needed her contact information for my report. So, I pulled her into my embrace like nothing was out of the ordinary. Her eyes were closed, and her lips were sealed shut. My h

“Thank you, Tara. I do not know what I would do without you.” She grinned, with her eyes sparkling with mischief. “I am just telling the truth. And you know what else? When Serena sees you at that event, she will be green with envy. She thought she won when she took Damon from you, but look at you now. You have a successful company, a man who truly loves you, a future that does not depend on anyone else. But what does she have? A man who will never love her the way he loved you. A man who will cheat on her like he cheated on you.”

I didn’t understand that truth until I had lived through every version—until I’d stood in the wreckage of my own choices, rebuilt myself from the fractures, and finally found the kind of love that didn’t demand pain as its price. Now, standing in this quiet house—the one we fought for, the one filled with the soft breathing of our children asleep behind their doors—I can finally see how every broken chapter led me here. How every version of love carved a different version of me. How every mistake, every heartbreak, every lesson needed to happen so I could become the woman I am now. Every love mattered. Every loss mattered. Every lesson mattered. ⸻ Kaden — The First Kaden was the soft, easy l

I selfishly believed he still loved me. But when Madison appeared, she shattered my illusion. Felix stood up for her time and again, lowering his standards and treating her like a princess. He was like a king, capable of bestowing both pain and happiness. He cruelly transferred all his affection to Madison, leaving me in anguish. He did not want a divorce because I was still his "one true love." But he turned his "one true love" into something mundane and ordinary.

I owed him my life. "Brenda fell apart and insisted on leaving the country. I handled it even worse. My family kept pressuring me to marry, so one night at a bar, I proposed to you out of nowhere. I never expected you to say yes..." The secret he had carried for years came out in a few quiet sentences. "Ellena, I'll never laugh at anyone for falling in love again, because now, I'm just as hopelessly in love with you." Everything he had done over the past few days, along with the pain in his eyes, gave me the answer I had wanted most. The tiny heartbeat inside my womb felt stronger in that moment.

Jeanine looked at her in confusion and Angelina added, "You are Noah Sullivan's mother. Do you know who Noah Sullivan is? He is Vivienne Pearl's first love. Do you know what this first love means to Vivienne? In fact, even I can't tell you in words what he means to her. And since he means so much to her, why would you think that she doesn't take you seriously? Especially since she had heard about you way too many time from Noah and knew clearly what kind of a position you had in his life." Jeanine and Jennifer fell into thought. The sisters shared a look with complexity in their eyes. They both didn't know how to feel right now. "You told me before that Noah had turned down Vivienne in high

she asks, her voice laced with amusement. I let out a nervous laugh, feeling a fresh wave of embarrassment wash over me as I recounted the unexpected encounter with Xander inside. “Well, you see… Xander grabbed me and pulled me close before kissing me and telling me he loves me,” I confess, my cheeks growing even hotter at the memory. Silver's eyebrows shoot up in surprise, but a playful grin spreads across her lips. “Well, well, it looks like someone's falling more and more in love with her mate and going to start making babies soon,” she teases, nudging me playfully.

I offered, hoping to reassure her. Lindey wiped away her tears and gave me a serious look. "Rea, be honest with me—are you seeing someone else? Is that why you're quitting? Are you worried he might have issues with your past with Jace?" I couldn't help but laugh at the idea. Everyone seemed convinced that Hayden and I were a thing, even though there was literally nothing between us. "I'm not seeing anyone right now. And even if I were, no guy would get to make my decisions for me. You're way overthinking this," I assured her.

"Love if you would allow him to touch your arm you will know that he is your father but if you want to do a dna test we have to get his okay first do you understand love?" "Fine get him back in here and tell him what I want to do and no he will not touch me. The only person to touch me is you is that clear?" I asked and demanded at the same time. "Yes love it is perfectly clear. Hang on let me get him back in here and then I will tell him what you want and that he is not to come anywhere near you til we get the test back unless you say otherwise." "Thank you Thomas." "Call me Tj love my family does."
