Chapter 60 Nick I stared at the document in front of me, over and over again. “It’s the first step in the divorce petition, reaching an agreement with the other party. Alaia has made a fair offer; she doesn’t demand monthly alimony and doesn’t wish to take any of her

Chapter 59 Alaia “Mami, Dom,” Alana said, and I looked at her curiously. “Who is Dom, my love?” I asked as I made her sit on my lap to style her other pigtail. “Dom, sleep.” Noah made a sweeping gesture, and I looked at him, confused. “They’ve been saying it

Chapter 58 Nick Present. “How’s my father p> “His condition is stable.” Doctor Martin Karev picked up the tablet displaying my father’s medical history. “This is Dominic Garnett, your grandfather.” My children approached curiously where my father lies. “Dom.” Alana looked at me and then at her grandfather. “That’s right,

Chapter 57 Nick Three years later… I woke up feeling her hair tickling my face. We wake up this way every day; my wife tangles herself around me every night, and I don’t know where her body ends and mine begins. I move carefully to get out of bed and

Chapter 56 Nick 5 years ago. 19–year–old Nick. I stepped off my motorcycle and entered my mother’s house. I’m sure neither she nor my grandfather will take the news well, but they needed to understand that I’m not interested in university. “Son, what are you doing here? You should be

Chapter 55 Alaia “Here are your drawings.” Loli handed them the paintings my children made yesterday for Nick. Today is his birthday, and Sophie made a special request. She explained to me that he always makes a round trip to Seattle on his birthday and does it alone, but Sophie

Chapter 54 Alaia We approached the house, searching inside, but all I could see was smoke and the water from the fire hoses the firefighters were using to put out the fire. “Mommy, Ik?” Noah said, looking around. “He’ll be back soon,” I said, feeling worried, more worried than I

Chapter 53 Alaia I quickly called emergency services as we left the room, and it only took us to descend the stairs to see the smoke spreading on the first floor. Amid the chaos, women run out of the house with the children. The smoke entered my lungs despite having

Chapter 52 Alaia “We’ve arrived! Did you miss me?” Tino threw open the door to my office, and my children rushed in behind him, running straight to hug me and Ash, who is with me. “What a lovely surprise,” I said, kissing my children’s heads. “We got tired of being

Chapter 51 Nick I knocked on the door of Alaia’s office and heard her allow me to enter. Her gaze was fixed on some documents. I saw her frown, her lips pouting slightly. “What’s bothering you?” Her forehead was creased, and her lips were formed in a sexy pout. I

Chapter 50 Alaia I felt a surge of anger in my chest. How could he do that? Wasn’t what he did two years ago enough? “I’m not in the mood for games, Nick. This must be a joke, and one in very poor taste.” I dropped the papers on his

Chapter 49 Nick My children finished dinner, and it was time to take them back home. The dogs remained their guardians, and I was glad about that. They had an instant connection, better than I could have imagined. “We need to go home to Mom,” I told them once I

Chapter 48 Alaia “We have nothing. Things have become complicated because we don’t have any family information for Alicia or the women. The neighborhood where the house is located doesn’t have any cameras, and the workers are only giving us general information,” the man I hired to look for Alicia

Chapter 47 Alaia I took a deep breath when I saw her leave and went back to the house to get the kids and go to the office; I was late. I told my mother what happened to Grace, and she was even more upset than I was. I let

Chapter 46 Grace “Killian, I know you’re barely recovering from what my son did to you, but I need to know who the mother of the children is. I want to know if they’re Nick’s children. He’s forbidden me from going near them, but he’ll have to accept that we’ll

Chapter 45 Alaia “Mother of love!” Tino exclaimed from the screen as I turned around to show off the dress I’ll be wearing tonight. “Look at that derrière, that waist, and those boobs.” He placed his hands on his chest, mimicking a pair of breasts. “You look stunning, darling,” Ash

Chapter 44 Alaia I adjusted my little one’s sweater. Nick had insisted that the kids visit his house, and after suggesting it for several days, I finally agreed. Ash and Loli have gone to the UK; it’s been a week since they left. They decided to go together, and their

Chapter 43 Alaia “Bye–bye.” My children said goodbye, as did Aidan. The three children seemed to be Darius‘ reason for living. “Is Great–Grandpa gone?” Ash asked as soon as I arrived in the room with my little ones, who entered like lightning. “Auntie!” they shouted when they reached her. Darius

Chapter 42 Nick I entered the house quietly; I didn’t want to alert the girls who worked there. I wanted to be alone. I loosened my tie and sank heavily into the couch, resting my head on its back and closing my eyes. My mind conjures images of my children.
