“I know! But I was consumed by hatred for so long. I wasn’t thinking clearly…” Peter’s voice faltered. 

“Peter…” Celeste’s voice hardened. “You’re dangerous–to me and to our children. I feel like I don’t even know the man standing in front of me. I think you should-” 

“No, Celeste, don’t say it,” Peter interrupted, panic creeping into his voice. “Now, more than ever, I need to be with you. Our children are my priority. I can’t lose you. I know I’ve made terrible mistakes, and I have no excuses. But please, don’t deny me the chance to be with them.” 

“How can I accept that all the chaos you bring could touch my children?” Celeste shot back. “You’ve surrounded yourself with lies, vengeance, and hatred. I don’t want that anywhere near them.” 

“Celeste, I’m telling you all this because I don’t want there to be any more secrets between us. You are the only 

Please…” good thing that’s happened to me in these past two years. 

you want me 

“No, Peter. You started a relationship with me while still carrying the baggage of your ex. And now you to accept that you’re a man who lacks a moral compass? I know your life hasn’t been easy, but imagine if your actions affected our children or Alden, Ethan, or the ones we’re expecting. We didn’t ask for any of this.” 

“I didn’t ask for it either!” Peter shouted, his voice filled with desperation. 

“No, but you could have stopped it,” Celeste said, her voice low but cutting. 

Peter’s breathing grew unsteady. He could see the resolve in Celeste’s eyes and realized she was seriously considering pushing him out of her life. 

“I didn’t do anything wrong,” Peter protested, his voice breaking. “I just sought justice for what they did to me. I wasn’t in my right mind, but I’ve worked to change that. Please, Celeste, don’t take this chance away from me. Let me be there for my children.‘ 

“P 

“Have you thought about what might happen to us if I stayed with you?” Celeste asked, her tone weary. 

“That’s why I want you to come with me. I know you love it here, but we can’t stay. If I leave you here, I’ll never be at peace. You gave me hope, Celeste. Do you know why I fell for you the moment I met you?” 

“Don’t try to persuade me with sentiment, Peter,” Celeste interrupted. “I’ve already told you I don’t want my children tangled up in a life filled with hatred and revenge. You might have all the money in the world, but you’ll never have a clean conscience.” 

“Celeste,” Peter whispered, his voice heavy with emotion. I know it’s not easy to accept the man I’ve been, but I swear it’s over. If you tell me to leave everything behind, I Will I don’t need luxury. I don’t need anything but you and our children. Alden and Ethan are safe now, and all I want is to be a father and rebuild what we lost. Please…” Peter sank to his knees, holding her hands in a desperate plea. 

“Peter, what kind of life would our children have with you Lies, intrigue, vengeance–it’s all too much. Your world and mine are completely different. I don’t want that for me or for them.” 

Peter felt helpless. Celeste’s words were true–his life was mess. He had hoped she would agree to leave with him and start anew, but her resistance was firm. 

“Celeste, I know I don’t deserve forgiveness, but let me be with my children. I know you didn’t expect this version of me when we met, but I can’t lose you or them. I missed out on raising one child, and I’ll never forgive myself for that. Ethan is my grandson, and I adore him, but I’ve never had the chance to be there from the beginning. Please, let me be there for them.” 

“Peter,” Celeste began, her voice softening. “If you stay in their lives, it means bringing us into your world, and
