Third Person POV

The three little six year olds were admiring the new rich looking home in front of them. Little did they know, that they were about to live there for the rest of their childhood. They were holding each other's hands with their fingers clasped together running slowly behind their mother asking innocent questions about the surroundings. However, their mother ignored their silly questions and turned back facing them. She took all three of them to the corner of the house and knelt down to have a face to face talk. She was so sweet, kind and loving. A mother every child would ask for.

"My little cubs, I want you all to know that, it is not so easy for mommy to take care of everything alone. So, I thought it would be the right time for you guys to meet your new father and his sons. They are elder than you and will take care of you. We will have big family. From now on it is your responsibility to share everything with your new siblings. Behave well and stay out of trouble. Ok?", she slowly and carefully explained the kids. She never wanted to hurt them, neither she thought she would. The kids nodded their heads and promised to behave well.

All her words were true, their new father was not so soft and gentle person but he never ever raised his voice against these three kids. The lack of financial support was the core reason in this marriage from her perspective. The kids never experienced their father's presence. They were barely one year old, when their father reached the heavens. The family was complete when the couple got married.

Claire Weds Romane Castelli.

An Italian tradition wedding was arranged for the couple. She doubted herself if she could be a good stepmother for the two kids of Romane. This is where everything went wrong. 'No one ever understands, there is no term called stepmother, it is always the same motherly love that wins kid's heart. Blood or not, love and care matters most'. Hardly, she understood this. Turned out she became one of the best stepmothers in the world who showered all her love to the children.

PRESENT

AVERY'S POV

I had stopped my pain killers two days back. It was difficult to do my daily workout and training; however I got used to it in these two days. I surprisingly didn't cross my speed limit ever since the minor accident in the racing track. This day is very important and special to me. I woke up early and did my morning routine. I ran towards the door in excitement with my sports kit and motorbike keys.

"Where are you leaving so early? Is everything alright?", came Alex's voice. Alex didn't leave to his dorm room this week. I didn't know how to explain, so I hesitantly scratched the back of my head. 'This is so awkward, I shouldn't be feeling shy at all', I thought to myself.

"Hey...Um Alex, just for a nearby blood donation camp. You know, it is a good trait to donate blood", I replied to him with all my innocence. But guess what, that moron is a freaking mind reader. He was eyeing me suspiciously, glancing me from head to toe.

"YOU are talking to ME about the good traits and blood donation? Seriously, stop kidding and tell me the truth. It's evident that you're hiding something.", Al asked pointing his finger at me. No more escaping.

"Alright, remember the girl from high school who accepted my insta request that night? She is volunteering for this camp as an organizer and I volunteered for donation. I haven't met her since 2 years, I really need this chance. I promise to tell you everything if this works.", I said all that in a hurry, especially fearing that I couldn't make a good impression if I was late. 'When did I start caring about making impressions?'.

"Someone is in love... Avery Hart, the athletic bad boy is now changing into goody two shoes. I am actually loving this Avery.", Alex teased me. That's why, I didn't want to tell him. I replied symbolically with the hand sign showing him the bad boy traits in me. I just smirked and left.

As soon as I reached the location, I called her to confirm my presence. During my high school, I used to admire her uniqueness. She is neither a quite, calm fairy nor a funny, talkative girl. I still remember the day, my love or even crush for her began. She appeared as an angel in disguise and left just like some magic.

When I entered the allotted room, I found the beautiful hearted and gentle soul standing with a writing pad wearing a volunteering card in her neck. Her hair was in a loose ponytail, the frameless glasses suited perfectly above her blue eyes. She always wears a smile in her face. A dark blue scarf was surrounding her neck matching with her white tops and black jeans. I wondered why she would wear a scarf in this sunny day. However, I chose to ignore it.

"Avery Hart Right? It's been so long. Nice to see you again. I am Rosalie Ann.", she startled me when I was clearly observing her. I extended my hands to greet her back.

"I am happy that you remember me. Nice to see you too", I said with a smile plastered in my face. I just prayed all my heavenly gods to help me not to blush. That would be too embarrassing.

"Let's have a chat after the donation process, you will eventually be a little tired, so it's my treat as appreciating your service", she offered me with her honey sweet voice. I didn't expect everything to go so smooth like this.

"That's really great. Let's head on with the work then", I suggested so that I could get more time later to be with her. The blood donation was not a big deal, especially due to my physical fitness. I was even more excited to make conversations with her. Once, I had a 20 minutes rest, we both went to a nearby café. I was eager to tell sweet things of my life and hear about hers too. But I never knew that it was not just me whose life wasn't sweet.
