"I was scared!" she cried, interrupting him. "You're a married man, you have a wife now, and I didn't want to ruin that. I didn't know how you'd react. And I didn't want my children… our children… to be caught in the middle of more pain."

He looked at her in shock, breath caught in his throat. "You just said… our daughter earlier," he said slowly.

Yes," she answered. "Jasmine and Hanith. They're yours."

Aaron's breath hitched, stumbled back a step, staring at her like he was seeing her for the first time again.

"You told me they weren't mine," he whispered.

"I lied," she admitted. "Because I was scared. I wanted to protect them. I thought if you knew, you'd take them away. And I also thought you wouldn't want them because you are married now."

"Five years," he murmured, his voice barely audible. "I had children... and never knew." He clenched his jaw, struggling to process everything. 

"They are your children," she said softly. "And now your daughter needs you."

A single mother, Katherine Prescott was the perfect definition of a B3 classy lady—beautiful, brainy, and brave. She worked her ass off to ensure her children never lacked, building a name for herself while running from the unwanted attachment of the past.

But when the past she thought she'd left behind the day she fled with her babies came crashing against the walls she'd built—six years later—everything she buried resurfaced.

What if the forgotten spark and desires kept pulling her back into the very past she wanted to forget? What if her babies wouldn't stop asking about their father? Can she really give him a second chance at love… and risk losing herself to passion again?

Aaron Knight was a celebrity. He never believed he'd see her again. But there she was—still breathtaking, still beautiful as ever. He wasn't letting her go this time. He would get her back, by hook or by crook.

Two problems: he was married… and she was already a mother.

They definitely planned the park—like the amusement park, right? Well, how the fuck did they get to the garden park? 


Well, let's rewind back… After Katherine had planned everything, cooked and packed for the day, they took a cab to the amusement park that she thought the kids wanted to go to, but it was closed due to a technical issue. 


"Kids," she turned to her kids, looking at them apologetically about their get-together today. "We'll have to go back home now."


While Jasmine grinned, "Mommy, we mean the garden park, not this place," Jasmine giggled and Katherine sighed. 


"Oh," she mumbled. Taking the kids' hands, she took another cab to the garden park. 


The great park always had a romantic air in it as couples held each other smiling, families playing, kids riding their bicycles. She smiled, liking the new scenery.  


It was a good place for a fresh breath.
