LOGIN~Dahila~ (Three years later.) "Mummy, Mummy! We've got a surprise for Daddy!" Hannah, my energetic three-year-old, exclaimed, waving a giant lollipop in my face. Her twin brother, Huxley, was hot on her heels, also clutching a colorful lollipop. I could tell by the mischievous grins on their fac
~Axel~ Overwhelmed, I stumbled out of the hospital into the night air, my hands shaking, my heart racing, and my mind reeling with worry. The cold wind buffeted me, but I hardly felt it, my thoughts consumed by Dahlia's plight. Self-blame and helplessness washed over me like a wave, leaving me fe
~Damian~ I've been taking care of Dahlia for two weeks now, despite her constant tantrums. Ironically, she's been supportive in her own way, eating and drinking enough to sustain her energy for daily door-banging and screaming sessions. As I waited for her food, my phone rang, and I saw Kade's na
Damian lingered, trying to persuade me to eat, but I remained silent, unresponsive. Eventually, he surrendered, scooping me up in his arms and placing me on the bed. He covered me with the duvet, his sigh heavy with concern. As he left the room, the lock clicked into place, a vivid reminder of m

~AXEL~ From the minute I laid my eyes on her, I knew she was going to be trouble. It was like something had led me to her that fateful night despite how hard I tried to fight it. How was I attracted to someone like her? It was a mystery to me especially since she was nothing special. Beautiful, ye
I turned to him with wide eyes but he wasn't looking at me and just kept walking. I didn't say anything and just pursed my lips till we got down to the living area. Kade had followed us from behind and summoned everyone to the living room. As they walked in with their heads bowed, I turned to Axel
~DAHLIA~ I jolted awake and immediately groaned as soon as I felt the pain. So that hadn't been a dream? I glanced around with furrowed eyebrows. How had I gotten back into my room? Had the girls dragged me back in here? Just then, the door flung open and an angry looking Kade and Axel walked in.
~DAHLIA~ Before I could utter a word, Axel walked out of the dressing room and I scoffed. Who does he think he is?
