The LED screen on the mall was playing our family nerview three months ago–right after I found out I was pregnant.
My dad stood in front of the cameras, building up that he diamond he’d bought at auction.
This Heart of the Ocean in for my future granddaughter. It’s not about the price–at’s about legacy

Chapter 2
Theo was sill perfectly gentle.
Like those vicious words I just heard were just a figment of my imagination.
I was about to talk about the divorce.
Then it hit me–our marriage certificate was fake. I couldn’t even file for divorce.
That’s when I heard a sweet and whiny voice through the phone.
“Babe, my back hurts… Our little one’s kicking again…”
Theo freaked out for a second.
“Amelia, I’ve got some shit to handle here. I’ll be home later, okay?”
He hung up before I could say a word.
I sat in the living room forever. Finally heard the front door open.
Dad and Theo walked in, still carrying traces of joy from their big day.
“Amelia, sweetie, I flew all the way to Switzerland to get this custom–made for you. All organic.”
Theo knelt down and started rubbing my swollen ankles.
“Why’d you skip your checkup? Mad we weren’t there? I’ll get the head doctor to make a house call tomorrow, how’s that sound?”
They both froze and went quiet when I didn’t respond.
Theo gave my dad a tiny headshake–like “don’t worry, she doesn’t know about the wedding.”
I handed Theo a folder. “Sign it.”
My dad tried to lighten the mood. “My little girl only wants presents from hubby now? Dad’s heart hurt so much!”
Theo didn’t even look at it. Just scribbled his signature.
“What’s mine is yours, babe. No need to be so formal.”
He smiled as he passed it back.
Right then, both their phones buzzed.
My dad squeezed my shoulder. “Got some urgent business stuff. We’ll be in the B wing for a bit.”
Theo kissed the top of my forehead. “Built that whole wing just for you. This way me and your dad can work and still keep an eye on you.”
Then they both rushed out.
The two boutonnières that fell from their pockets reminded me that tonight was their wedding night..
I looked down at the paper that read “Biological Father Voluntarily Relinquishes All Parental Rights” and laughed until I cried.
With this, my baby had nothing to do with Theo Maddox.
I could love hard, and I could let go even harder.
I wiped away the last tear and called my lawyer.

Nolan passed

I tummed a soft reply and ended the call

He kept dapping himself, saying he fucked up when he was drunk.
“I was drunk. I failed you both..”
I locked myself in my room for days and wouldn’t eat anything,
It was Theo brought me soup, gently coazing me to take each bite.
“Your mother in heaven would ward you to be happy too.”
That was the line that pulled me back from the edge.
Made me give him my whole heart.
And now I finally see what was really behind all that tenderness,
My phone kept buzzing
Photo after photo.
Young Theo and Emily kissing on a yacht, holding hands in the snow.
Every single photo had “My beloved Emily” written on it.
So all those honeymoon spots he took me to were just recreating their greatest hits.
