Chapter 117: Riley
Narration by Riley:I am stunned to see Lucas here. When I disappeared, I never imagined seeing him again. That part of my life had stayed in the past. Who could have imagined that by moving to another country, I would find him again? I never suspected something like this could happen.When he calls me by my name, I feel immense fear. My life, the life I built when I arrived here, has crumbled. My friends won't want anything to do with me, and the only person who has been with me here doesn't have much time left to live.I've never been one to talk much about it, not even to my friends, so I fear that now they know I'm the villain who ruined Lucas' life, they will hate me. I overheard them talking about this topic once, and it made me hide my past. They may not understand what I did.As I speak with Lucas, I am determined to tell him that it's pointless to dwell on the past. It doesn't change anything to keep reliving the pain. I didn't expect him to already know everything. It was a
Chapter 118: Two Months Later
Narrated by Mason:Two months have passed, and I'm still trying to win over Paige. My life revolves around work and her, along with our baby. I feel ready to be a father and build a family with her.I must mention that my mother has gone crazy about becoming a grandmother. The good thing is that Paige meets up with her and lets her indulge in buying things for the baby. My mother gets a bit carried away with certain things, like having everything ready for her unborn grandchild, not to mention she doesn't know the baby's gender yet.I'm in the office reviewing some documents when my secretary enters nervously to see me. It's been a while since something has left her in that state, so I look at her with a questioning gaze."Sir, I'm sorry to tell you this, but Miss Peyton is at the entrance demanding to see you. She says she won't leave until she talks to you," she says, looking at me anxiously."Peyton? I won't see her. If she wants to stay at the entrance for the rest of her life, th
Chapter 119: Our Decision
Emily narrates:As I read the letter that was brought to me, I was shocked. After understanding that she intends to give away that baby, I feel terrible. Throughout my life, I have sought ways to help children without parents and single mothers, and now that I can prevent it, I feel powerless.When I call Sarah, she arrives with Paige and Riley. I wasn't expecting them, but it was good that they came because we are all trying to find a way to help that baby. It's not for Peyton, she doesn't matter to us, but that baby, who is innocent and had no say in the mother they ended up with, doesn't deserve to suffer.My son didn't take the letter well. I see Paige taking him for a walk to let out all that he feels, and I sigh for the beautiful woman he has had by his side, whom he was unable to appreciate when he had the chance. Seeing them walking hand in hand as if they were a loving couple, I sigh, longing to see them like that again. Because you can feel the love, it's just that she is to
Chapter 120: Doubts about Paige's Decision
Narrated by Mason:I must admit that going for a walk with Paige did me good. It helped me regain control over the emotions stirred up by that letter. As much as I think about it, I understand that the baby is not to blame for what Peyton is asking, but I don't feel prepared to help in any way.I look at Paige again, lost in her thoughts. She looks so beautiful and perfect that I wish I could freeze time and stay like this forever. I will cherish this image in my mind forever; it's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.I stop walking, and Paige turns to look at me. With her attention on me, I try to smile and say, "I'm sorry for my behavior earlier. Honestly, I didn't expect to read something like that," I confess, feeling embarrassed in front of her."Don't worry. Not everyone reacts the same way. I can't put myself in your shoes, so I preferred to go for a walk. As you know, your mother is very kind and won't let that baby go unprotected. We both know that she, along with Sarah
Chapter 121: A New Opportunity
Narrated by Mason:After a memorable breakfast, we gather to meet with Riley and everyone else. Even my parents are here. It must be something very important that they have to tell us, that's for sure.We sit down, and before saying anything, Lucas stands up determined to speak."We have called all of you here because Riley and I are about to take a huge step, and we hope to have your support," he says, both excited and nervous."They're getting married!" Sarah shouts with her hands up, happy with the idea she had."It's not that, but believe me, it's not me who doesn't want to do it," Lucas clarifies, looking at a blushing Riley."If it's not that, what decision have you made?" I ask, confused."We want to adopt Peyton's baby," Lucas says, looking attentively at my mother.I think this took everyone by surprise, at least it didn't cross my mind, I didn't even think it was relevant. My mother is the first to react and she approaches Riley, excitedly embracing her. She whispers somethi
Chapter 122: Good News
Paige narrates. After the night we spent together, I can say that I feel like I'm on cloud nine or in a dream. It's as if I'm living in a different reality. I'm afraid to open my eyes and realize that I didn't dare to hold his hand and that we didn't spend the night together.I feel kisses on my neck, and I realize that it did happen, that I am with Mason, and that this time I hope everything will be different from what we've experienced before. I have hope that we can finally be happy and that it will be forever.I don't want to open my eyes; I want to stay in this bed forever by his side and make up for all the time we've lost due to past mistakes."Good morning," Mason says, smiling, and I think it's the sexiest version of him I've seen in all the time I've known him."Good morning," I reply, blushing."I want to take advantage of the fact that you've just woken up to tell you something important," he says nervously. "Okay, I'm listening," I reply, sitting on the bed. "The firs

Chapter 124: Three Mounts Later
Three months later...Mason narrates.I'm feeling like a madman right now. Paige is about to give birth, and I feel like every movement she makes while sleeping could be a contraction. Lately, I've been sleeping with one eye open and one closed, my mind weighing on the fact that when the time comes, I'll be the one in charge of the situation. Maia's bag, Paige's bag, car keys, reminding her to breathe and assisting her in every way. Those are my instructions for that moment.I look at her sleeping, and when she wakes up, I check the time and see that it's six in the morning. These past few days, she has been waking up after 10, following my mother's advice."Sleep as much as you can. When we become mothers, we never sleep the same way we used to."That's why I let her sleep as much as she can. She looks at me and doesn't smile. That's not a good sign."Is everything okay, love?" I ask nervously.She shakes her head, and I sit on the bed, thinking about what to do."It hurts, but not r
