‘What the heck?’ Mason thought as he recalled how Sierra shut the door in his face.“Did she really reject me?”He couldn’t believe ‘Stella’ would do that to him. When they were dating in secret, Stella used to cling to him which he loved about her. But things went awry when she announced her pregnancy the day before he planned to leave the town where they met.Stella was only 18 years old then, and he was yet to succeed in his father’s business. It was a crucial time for Mason and the news of having someone pregnant before marriage would greatly affect his position in the company, thus; he suggested aborting the babies, which ultimately caused a rift in his relationship with Stella. He couldn’t chase her when she ran away, which broke his heart. And years later, he received an email from Stella. It was more like a letter that contained the summary of her life after they got separated. In her email, Stella mentioned the twins and the names she gave them. Mason kept the email and treat

“What is he talking about?” Sierra muttered to herself while crumpling the note. She stared at the flowers, contemplating whether to throw them away. Sighing, she went to the kitchen to get a glass where she could put them.“Mom, can I ask you something?” London watched as Sierra arranged the flowers in the glass. When Sierra hummed and nodded in response, he spilled his question she didn’t expect. “Since when do you have a boyfriend?”“London, honey—” Sierra halted when she saw Paris trying to carry Gabby out of his crib. “Oh my! Put him down!” Sierra sprinted from the kitchen to the living room to save Gabby. “Paris, what do you think you’re doing?”Paris fidgetted her hands while trying not to cry. The girl could tell Sierra was mad, and she knew why. “I… I’m sorry!” The little girl cried, joining Gabby. “I just want to play with Gabby outside his crib. Wah!”“Yes, honey. Shhh. Come here.” Sierra ushered Paris to come to her and rubbed her back. “It’s okay, honey. Gabby is still a

Caleb automatically clenched his jaws when he heard that some other guy was eyeing Sierra, which was unacceptable. He couldn’t wait to find out more about this man who dared to come after Sierra when he was not around. Just then, Caleb noticed London and Paris looking at each other knowingly with mischievous grins on their faces. He quickly asked them, “Alright. Tell me. What do you guys know about this Mason guy?” London was the first to answer. “Well,” he started slowly, as though savoring the moment of suspense. “Let me put it this way… Mason is totally smitten with Mom! He proposed to her in the most dramatic and romantic way you can think of! I mean, he took her out for a picnic under the blue sky, with a bottle of champagne and candles all around. Then he made her walk across flower petals just to get to him and presented her with a gorgeous diamond ring like out of a fairytale movie!” Paris couldn’t help but add in some details, too. “And not only that! He also wrote Mom a lo

The weather started nicely in the morning. A gentle and warm breeze put a place on everybody’s face, except for one — Sierra.“Mom. Are you sick?” Paris asked after observing Sierra for a few minutes now. “Your face is pale as snow,” she added.Sierra shook her head. “I’m fine, honey. Just couldn't sleep properly last night.”After meeting Caleb again as her neighbor, Sierra stayed up all night wondering why fate was being too harsh on her. She wouldn’t have to worry about falling in love if it wasn’t Caleb, but that guy still had a place in her heart. No matter how much she denied it, Sierra knew she couldn’t resist Caleb any longer. And she feared for that day to come. She had to take care of the children, after all.“Is it about love?” London mumbled from behind. He noticed how distracted Sierra was in the last few days. At first, he thought maybe it was because of their finances. But having some men coming over to visit, the boy concluded that it was romance-related. “Mom, if you

“Gosh! I didn’t think I’d take longer than I should.” Sierra hurried to her apartment with groceries clutched in her chest. The bag was broken and all the things she bought in it scattered on the ground. Since she spent the money left on her, she didn’t hesitate to pick up everything from the ground, thinking she could just wash them at home.She stopped in front of her apartment door when she heard a baby’s loud cry. “Oh, no! Gabby’s awake,” she said and didn’t waste any second. Sierra pushed the door open and called out for the kids. “London? Paris? Oh gosh. I’m here. Give me a second to put all these — Aw!” Sierra squirmed when her toe hit on one of the table’s legs.“Mom, are you alright?” Paris said as she helped her with the groceries. “Ah. You did it again,” she murmured while staring at Sierra’s foot.“Nevermind that honey. Please help me with these first. I’ll go get Gabby.” Sierra groaned as she place the groceries and other ingredients on the table. “Oh. I stink,” she mutte
