~DIELLA

After riling Liora up and making mention of the wedding, I knew she was going to try to follow me.

The moment I entered Everett's room, his eyes snapped towards me.

"I only just texted you five minutes ago. How did you get here so fast?" He looked at me suspiciously.

I smiled despite the cold look he was throwing my way.

"I was already on my way over before you even called," I replied as I cat walked over and sat on the seat next to his bed. "Had to make sure my husband was okay."

    LIORA"Good morning, miss," one of them greeted.I stepped aside and let them in."Please come in."They filed inside and got to work. They didn't take long packing the things I would need. While they carried out the last boxes, I left the apartment to grab something quick for lunch."I'll only be gone for a few minutes," I told one of them outside, who was loading my things into the trunk. "I'll be right back.""No problem, ma'am," he replied with a nod.I slipped my phone out of my pocket as I walked down the sidewalk and quickly sent Everett a text.*I'm going to grab some lunch. I'll be back before one.*After sending it, I waited a few seconds, but no reply came."He must be busy already," I murmured to myself before slipping my phone back into my pocket.The café was only a short walk away.The moment I stepped inside, the sweet smell of freshly baked pastries greeted me. After looking through the display for a moment, I decided on a box of glazed donuts and a light lunch to go

    ~LIORASoft, warm sunlight filtered through the tiny crack in the curtains, spilling straight onto my face.The second I opened my eyes, I squeezed them shut again before rolling onto my side. A soft yawn escaped my lips as I slowly blinked, allowing my eyes to adjust to the morning light.I felt so calm and serene, like every nerve and bone in my body was finally at peace.The chaos of the past week felt as though it had all been left behind.I had almost forgotten I wasn't sleeping alone until I felt a strong arm wrap more firmly around my waist, gently pulling me against a warm chest.I bit my lower lip to suppress a smile before turning to face him.Everett was still asleep beside me.His lips were slightly parted, and his face looked so peaceful that I couldn't bring myself to even think about waking him. Instead, I simply lay there, quietly admiring every inch of his face, from his neatly shaped eyebrows to the long lashes resting against his cheekbones as he slept peacefull

    DIELLADucking behind a trash can in the dark alley, I cautiously peeked my head out, watching as the police car drove past with its siren blaring loudly.I was completely drenched from the rain, from my hair down to the boots on my feet.When I was sure the area was clear, I hurried across the street and slipped into another dark alley.I stopped in front of a large metal door and knocked on it as hard as I could, waiting impatiently for someone to answer.My lips trembled from the cold as I glanced around, making sure there weren't any police officers nearby.When no one came, I pounded on the door again, even louder this time."What the fuck?" I cursed. "Open up the damn door!"A few seconds later, the door finally creaked open.A huge, tattooed man stepped out and slowly looked me up and down."Hey, woman..." he muttered. "You okay?"I pulled my hood back, revealing my face.His eyes widened the instant he recognized me."It's you.""You owe me a favor," I said. "It's time for you

    ~LIORAEverett insisted that I return to the penthouse with him while he hired movers to pack up everything from my apartment.But I refused.I wanted to organize my things myself before the movers started throwing the wrong things into the wrong boxes."Are you sure you don't want to go home and rest?" Everett asked as we drove toward my apartment. "I can pack everything for you without the movers' help."I shook my head."I already told you, I feel fine. I'll pack everything this morning, and by evening, you can come pick me up."He glanced at me again, his eyes filled with concern."You just got discharged from the hospital, Liora. The doctor said you should take it easy.""And the doctor also said I was perfectly fine. Besides, it's just some easy work."He let out a sigh, clearly knowing he wasn't going to win this argument."You're incredibly stubborn."A smile tugged at my lips.He chuckled under his breath and reached across the seat and pulled me closer, gently pressing my

    ~EVERETT"I wanted to tell you. I didn't want to keep this from you, but after everything that happened between us... I didn't know how to reach you. I just..." she trailed off, guilt evident in her eyes."You don't have to explain," I cut in gently. "It's my fault. I put you in a position where you felt like you had to keep something this important away from me. If anyone is to blame here, it's me."She gave a small nod before falling silent.I smiled and slowly shook my head."What could I possibly be upset about?" I asked softly. "I'm happy, Liora. I can't even begin to describe how happy I am right now." A small laugh escaped me. "I'm going to be a dad."For the first time since I'd walked into the hospital room, I saw her shoulders visibly relax.My eyes drifted down to her stomach, and I instinctively lifted my hand before stopping midway."Can I?" I asked quietly.She followed my gaze before looking back at me and gently nodded."Sure."I slowly rested my palm against her s

    ~EVERETTThe doctor led me to Liora's room the minute I arrived at the hospital. My heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears with every step I took down the hallway. The moment the doctor pushed open the door, my eyes immediately landed on her.She was lying motionless on the hospital bed.An oxygen mask covered the lower half of her face, while an IV line ran into the back of her hand. Her usually vibrant face looked pale, making my chest tighten painfully.I slowly walked over to her bedside and lowered myself into a squat beside the bed. Reaching for her hand, I gently wrapped my fingers around hers and gave it a light squeeze before lowering my head until it rested against the edge of the mattress."When is she going to wake up?" I asked quietly without taking my eyes off her.The doctor, who had remained standing beside me, glanced at the chart in his hands before answering."We're not entirely sure yet. Fortunately, she didn't suffer any major burns. She inhaled
