Niamh looked bitter. “Noah dotes on Micah so much. If he actually recovers, Kenny’s chances of inheriting the Caldwell legacy drop to zero. Especially considering his… current situation.”
She let out a long, weary sigh.
Cordell reached over, resting a hand on her shoulder in a gesture of comfort.
“Everyone has their own destiny. Since Kenny’s accident, I’ve come to realize what truly matters.
“My older brother and his wife passed away so young, leaving Micah all alone. The fact that our family is still whole, that we’ve managed to survive the worst… that is a blessing in itself.”
Cordell’s voice dropped lower. “Niamh, we should be content with what we have.”
Niamh was visibly shaken. After a long silence, she pressed a hand to her chest and nodded. “You’re right. Thank god… thank god Kenny’s line hasn’t ended. There’s still hope for us… I’m content. I am.”
After dinner, Zara dragged Oriana into her room and grilled her until nearly eleven o’clock before finally agreeing to let her
Since the property management had messaged saying paparazzi were swarming their apartment complex, they had decided early on to spend the night at the family estate.
Back at their bedroom, Oriana saw the door ajar, a soft glow spilling from within.
Realizing Micah’s intention, she smiled, slowed her pace, and walked inside.
“Have you been waiting long?”
Micah sat on a small stool in the center of the adjoining studio, a paintbrush in hand, facing an easel. He seemed lost in thought.

Her hair cascaded down, brushing against his neck and nose as she muzzled against him intimately.
“Of course I knew,” she teased softly. “You know every inch of this house like the back of your hand; you could navigate it in pitch darkness without stumbling. But you left the main lights off and only lit this small lamp… you were clearly setting a trap for me.”
Micah tapped the tip of her nose. “Guilty. And I successfully reeled you in.”
With a sudden tug, he pulled her from behind him, spinning her around until she tumbled into his lap.
Oriana let out a soft huff, but a moment later, a warm, tender kiss landed on her forehead. Micah kissed her with immense gentleness–her forehead, the corners of her eyes, the arch of her brow…

His breath hitched slightly. “I never imagined there would be a day when I could hold you like this, right here.
“In my past life, I didn’t dare. I was terrified that a monster like me, who could only watch you from the shadows, would scare you away.
“In this life, I was afraid… afraid that my dark, unspeakable desires would make you loathe me.”
“Micah, none of those fears will come true.”
Cupping his face, Oriana looked at him with devout determination, tilting her head to plant a firm kiss on the furrow between his brows.
“Micah, thank you for loving me across two lifetimes. This time… it’s my turn to love you.”
His sightless, dark eyes seemed to lock onto the direction of her lips, swirling with an intensity that threatened to consume her.
Hearing her confession, he felt his heart pound with a force that defied gravity, swelling with a joy he wanted to shout to the whole world.
