Brittany was such a lucky girl at 18 years old, she had loving parents, and a cute best friend she was harbouring feelings for when something happened, she got acquainted with Lucas the son of her mother’s employer. Naive, they became friends and had unprotected sex and Brittany had to have an abortion since Lucas's father and family members threatened to harm her if she proceeded with the pregnancy. This left Lucas, who is now 30, to join the Marines after obtaining a law degree as well as running away from a dominating father. In the military, he suffers a traumatic event which leaves him with PTSD, then has to go back to his father’s business where he is pressured to marry and produce an heir.

They have to unmask Lucas’s cunning stepmother and demanding father to regain the title they both deserve and rediscover the bond they lost long ago.

A Fragile Reunion

The low, continuous sound of the office air conditioner made a nice background, and I sat at my desk studying the new layouts of Ferguson's house.

We had not seen the twins for almost eight weeks now and it had been two months since the eventful night that we thought they would arrive early.

Fortunately, it was merely a false alarm, but it must be said that it brought our preps up to full speed nonetheless.

Now, at 37 weeks, I was officially on maternity leave but I would come to work a couple of times in a week. It made me feel like a real woman yet again as everything else was surrounded by the circles of preparation for the baby.

There was a knock on my office door which brought me back from the cloudy state. "Come in," I said out loud forgetting that it could be anyone ranging from Lucas to maybe even Emily, who I had seen much more frequently than before.
