Turning to my side, I gently cradle my stomach, the barely-there bump that used to protect my little peanut. Based on the books I read, she was only the size of a plum. Many people will tell me to get over this, that it wasn't a baby yet, just a clump of cells. But from the moment I knew I was pregnant, I loved her. -------------------------- # 2 heartache # 44 supportive Join Aria on her journey as she faces her sorrow, self-discovery and transformative love.

A man who believes he lost the love of his life. A woman who believes she'll never be chosen. A little girl who simply wants a mother. Five years ago, Brian Garcia was abandoned by the woman he loved, leaving him to raise the daughter he never knew he had. Since then, his world has revolved around one little girl... and the one woman who never left. Mylie Wise has always been Addie's constant-her safe place, her favorite person. Quietly and selflessly, she's helped Brian navigate single fatherhood while hiding one impossible secret: She's been in love with him for years. But Brian was once engaged to her identical twin sister. Loving him has always felt like the ultimate betrayal. Just when Brian begins to believe happiness might finally be within reach, the past returns with one heartbreaking request that changes everything. Now Brian, Mylie, and Addie must face a question no one is prepared to answer: Is motherhood defined by blood... or by the person who chooses to stay? If Ever is a deeply emotional story of love, forgiveness, family, and second chances-not only for broken hearts, but for the people who discover that sometimes the truest family is the one we choose.

Now he's asking questions we've both avoided for years; while our present battles to keep us apart, our past fights to be brought to the light and bind us together again. JARED Five years ago, fame, pride, and one stupid choice cost me my marriage-and the family I'd always dreamed of. Now I'm with a woman I don't love, have an ex who smiles at everyone but me, and a daughter too nervous to meet my eyes. Then I'm shot after the biggest night of my career-and all I can see is her. When death caresses your cheek, you know it's time to fight for what you want. So I force my way back into her world, where she can't ignore me anymore, and begin my fight for the truth, a chance to be us again. I'll remind her why she chose me all those years ago and show her why I'm worth choosing again.

Lando and Megan met when they were just ten years old, attending the same school. From the moment they crossed paths, they became inseparable - best friends in every sense of the word. At sixteen, friendship quietly turned into something more. They confessed their feelings and started dating, officially beginning what felt like the start of forever. For the next seven years, Megan stood by Lando's side as he chased his dream of becoming a Formula One driver. And while he pushed for podiums and pole positions, Megan pursued her own path, studying to become a physiotherapist. Together, they dreamed of a future - a home, a family, a life built on love and years of trust. But all of that shattered the day Megan returned to Monaco. She'd come back early - a quiet surprise after visiting family in the UK for a birthday. She walked through the door expecting everything to be as she left it. Instead, what she found tore everything apart. That was nearly four years ago. Now, Megan lives in the UK, raising her three-year-old son, Noah - her entire world. She's done her best to move on, to rebuild the life that once seemed lost. But fate has its own plans. At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, as engines roar and crowds surge, Noah slips from her grasp, darting off through the crowd. Megan chases after him - heart racing, calling his name - until she finds him somewhere he absolutely shouldn't be. In a restricted area. With someone she never expected to see again. And in that moment, as eyes lock and silence falls - everything changes. Because nearly four years later, the truth is about to come out. ---- Dual POV All fictional - don't take any storyline seriously or hate upon any characters.
