I got out of the car before Kael could say anything.

The neighbor pointed again at the porch and I walked back up those four steps alone, crouching down to pick up the envelope. It was plain white, and slightly worn out.

I turned it over and opened it.

All that was inside was one line. A single strip of paper with four words written in very bold letters.

*"You got lucky this time."*

I read it twice. Then a third time. "What does that mean?"

Kael had come up behind me and I he

  • After He Let Me Fall    Chapter 177: EPILOGUE

    THREE YEARS LATER.Three years have passed since that long, intense day in the hospital when Julian and Sophia entered our world screaming and perfect.I stand barefoot on the warm sand of our private island, the gentle waves brushing against my ankles. The sun is beginning its slow descent, casting a golden-pink glow across everything. Sophia’s laughter rings out as she runs ahead, her dark curls bouncing wildly with every step. Julian chases after her, determined not to let his sister win their endless game of collecting shells."Mama! Look what I found!" Sophia shouts, holding up a smooth white shell in her tiny hands.I crouch down as she runs to me, taking the shell and examining it with the seriousness it deserves. "This one is beautiful, my love. You have the best eye on the whole island."Julian arrives seconds later, out of breath but proud. "Mine is bigger, Mama! Daddy, look!"Kael walks up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder. He re

    NYLATWO MONTHS LATER I gripped Kael’s hand tightly as another contraction hit, the pain sharp and rolling through my body. The hospital room felt both too bright and too small. Monitors beeped steadily around us. I had been in labor for fourteen hours, and the twins were finally ready to come."You are doing so well," Kael said, wiping my forehead with a cool cloth. "Just breathe through it. I am right here. We are almost at the end."The doctor checked again. "It is time to push, Nyla. The first one is coming fast."I pushed with everything I had, squeezing Kael’s hand until my knuckles turned white. He kept talking to me, low and steady. "That is it. You are so strong. One more big push."Minutes later, the first cry filled the room. A boy. They placed him on my chest for a moment, tiny and perfect, before the next wave hit."Here comes the second one," the doctor announced. "Keep going, you are doing incredible."I pushed again, exhaustion mixing with my screams. Kael never let

    NYLA*I cannot wait for you to get home.*I sent the message and paced the living room again, my hand resting on my stomach. The doctor’s words kept repeating in my head. Twins.....Two babies. I had spent the entire afternoon trying to find the right way to tell Kael. Now my heart would not slow down.The front door opened. Kael stepped inside, removing his jacket. His eyes found me right away."You look like you have news," he said, setting his things down. "What happened at the appointment today?"I walked straight to him and took both his hands in mine. "I went to the doctor. I wanted to tell you face to face, not over the phone."He searched my eyes. "Tell me."I smiled, unable to hold it in any longer. "We are having twins, Kael. The doctor showed me both heartbeats today."He stood completely still. Then he lifted me off the ground, arms wrapping tight around my waist as he spun me once. His mouth crashed into mine in a deep, joyful kiss."Twins?" he repeated against my lips, la

    NYLA POVThe white hospital lights above welcomed meMy legs moved one after the other, exhaustion sat heavy in my eyesI slowed down my pace at the reception desk. The nurse looked up with a tired voice.“Patient name?” she asked without me speaking “Marisol,” I replied. My hands tightened beside meIf it wasn’t for Mia and Evan’s mess, Marisol wouldn’t be hurt. The thought stung again, since the accidentThe nurse checked her screen and nodded. “Vip. She’s ready to go”I walked down the clean hallway hurriedly, my shoes clicking softly, I was very close to losing everything Kael told me to rest, but I needed to do this myself. Marisol deserved that much from me.I pushed open the door.Marisol sat on the edge of the bed, her bag rested beside herShe already changed from the hospital gown to her normal clothes,“You came” she said, her voice sounded steady with a pale face “Of course I did” I stepped inside and closed the door behind me “Doctor cleared you already?”Marisol no

    KAELI pulled Nyla into our bedroom the moment, the entire day had been light and I could see the tension free atmosphere from afar."You have been carrying too much today. Let me handle everything now. No more thinking about problems or confessions."I sat on the bed first and pulled her gently between my legs. My hands settled on her waist as I looked up at her face.I kissed her slowly, taking my time, tasting the stress that still lingered on her lips. She leaned into me immediately. I deepened the kiss, one hand sliding up her back while the other stayed firmly at her waist, holding her close against me."You taste so good," I murmured against her mouth between kisses. "I have been thinking about kissing you properly since we left that place. No one else around."I kissed her again, even slower this time, savoring every second. My tongue moved against hers with patience. I broke the kiss only to trail my lips along her jaw and down to her neck."Your lips...." I whispered against

    NYLAI cannot believe it is really over. I sat on the wide couch in the living room beside Kael, the house completely quiet except for the low hum of the heater running in the background. The lights stayed dimmed, just the way I like it. Evans was already processed and in custody. Mia was gone, taken away after the shot in that hotel. I kept my hands in my lap, fingers tracing small patterns on my own skin while my mind replayed every second of what happened.Kael finally shifted slightly closer on the couch. His arm rested along the back but he did not pull me in yet. "You walked into that hotel and changed everything in seconds. I told you to stay back and you still came inside."I nodded slowly. "I had to. I could not sit outside knowing you faced both of them alone with guns involved. My legs moved before my head agreed."He exhaled. "I know. But seeing that gun turn toward you stopped everything inside me. Mia looked ready to pull the trigger right then. Her eyes were different

    NYLA "Kael." I was sitting at the kitchen counter with my phone face up when his name came through on a news alert and then another and then four more in rapid succession and I looked at him across the room and he was already looking at his own phone. "It's out," I said. "All of it. Your nam

    NYLANobody spoke in the car.Kael drove and I sat in the passenger seat and stared outside the windows, tears had stopped flowing down my cheeks, completely indifferent to the fact that I had just watched my birth mother die on a floor and the man sitting next to me had just received the name he'd

    NYLAKael's voice hit the room at the same moment everything else did.I turned toward the sound of the gunshot and my brain was still processing the sequence of events.Courtney was on the floor."No." The word came out of me before I'd decided to speak. I was already moving, already dropping besi

    NYLAThe knock came a few minutes after Kael left.Courtney was on her feet before I fully processed what was happening. She grabbed my arm and pulled me toward the back of the room and I let her move me because the look on her face told me she had been in situations like this before and I hadn't.
