Reunion with Ex - Boyfriend Trouble

While video chatting with my boyfriend, his roommates were eagerly clamoring to meet me. Just as I was giving a modest smile, the phone was unexpectedly snatched away. A charismatic voice, tinged with humor, chimed in, “Come on, don’t be shy, show us what our sister-in-law looks like.” To my surprise, I found myself face-to-face with my ex-boyfriend, Brayden, whose breakup with me had been quite the upheaval. His smile slowly faded, and after a moment, he forced a wry grin. “Wow.” As he leaned in, the star pendant on his silver chain brushed against the camera lens. My breath caught when I recognized him. Sweat trickled down Brayden's sharp jawline and into the open collar of his basketball jersey. He stared at the screen for a couple of seconds, his pupils widening in shock. “…Wow.” The phone was abruptly tossed aside, the screen momentarily blacked out before it was quickly picked up again. Cassius grabbed the phone, sounding annoyed, “Why did you freak out like that?” Brayden hesitated, then snorted, “Your taste could use some work.” Cassius, usually so calm, surprisingly found himself irritated, and retorted sharply, “My girlfriend is great, stop with the nonsense.” “She’s definitely prettier than the prom queen, what's up with you, Brayden?” “If I scored someone like her, I’d live on instant noodles for three years!” “No way, I’d give up takeout for a decade!” His roommates erupted in laughter, while Brayden stayed silent.

Chapter 4

After the incident, Brayden and I barely spoke for a whole week. Initially, he didn't think he'd done anything wrong.

"I've always thought of Adalynn as a sister," he insisted. "She hurt her leg; I couldn't just leave her there."

I kept my face neutral. "If her leg was injured, she could have called her mom, or your family's driver could have picked her up. Why did she need to wait specifically for you?"

"You think of her as a sister, but does she think of you as a brother? Are you really saying you don't know she has feelings for you?"

Brayden's eyes shifted, and then he let out a sigh, pulling me into an embrace. "Evelyn, you're the only one I care about. I'll speak to her and make some distance, alright?"

I closed my eyes for a moment. "Alright."

After that, Brayden did have a conversation with Adalynn. I don’t know what he said, but I know she left the classroom in tears and stopped seeking him out. I thought that would resolve everything.

But then, Brayden approached me, looking uneasy. "Adalynn says there’s this guy from another school who’s been bothering her. She’s told him no several times, but he won’t leave her alone. Today, he invited her and some friends to hang out, and she wants me to pretend to be her boyfriend to scare him off."

Watching for my reaction, he added, "Just for one night, to make him back off."

"We've been through this before, haven't we? Today she twists her ankle and needs you to carry her home, tomorrow someone bothers her and you pretend to be her boyfriend—what’s next?"

Brayden, who’s always been patient and kind with me, said, "If it weren't for my dad's accident, Adalynn's father wouldn't have died saving him. She'd have her father to look out for her now. I can't just abandon her. Just this once, if it makes things easier, how about you come along too?"

I realized arguing further was pointless and reluctantly agreed.

"Just for one day. I’ll go with you."

Brayden's face lit up with a smile, and he gently cupped my face to give me a quick kiss. "You're really understanding, and I love you more than anything!"

For seven years of marriage, I tried everything possible to earn my husband Adrian's favor, humbly hoping he would spend more time at home with our daughter and me. But even when our daughter, Seraphina, was critically injured in a car accident and longed to see her father one last time, he didn't come back. "Clementine has something going on. I can't leave right now," he told me. He was really busy. Busy being with his true love. Later, when I was on the verge of death, Adrian knelt by my side, filled with regret. "I'm sorry. I failed you, I failed Seraphina..." But I could no longer afford the luxury of forgiveness. "Mommy, I want to see Daddy..." Lying on her hospital bed, Seraphina was just a fragile little bundle, weakly clutching my hand, her voice barely a whisper.

Love Lost to Greed

I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong as I organized our supplies in the rustic lakeside cabin. The wooden floors creaked beneath my feet while I sorted through our weekend provisions, my fingers lingering on the life jackets I'd insisted we bring. Tucker had laughed when I packed them, but living with a permanent leg injury had taught me to be cautious. I absently rubbed my thigh where the old injury ached in the damp air – a souvenir from the last time I'd saved Tucker's life. "Kenna, did you hear what I just said?" Blaire's voice cut through my thoughts, that particular tone she used when she knew I hadn't been listening. She stood by the window, martini in hand, sunlight illuminating her perfect posture. "Sorry, just making sure we have everything," I replied, arranging the last of our food supplies. The cabin was modest by normal standards, though I suspected both Tucker and Blaire considered it 'roughing it.' If only they knew I could have booked us into the Carter family's private island resort instead of this remote spot. Tucker emerged from the bedroom, his phone clutched in his hand like always. "Signal's terrible out here," he complained.
