Chapter 121

• Lucas’ POV
• I never thought I’d be the kind of man to fall to my knees for someone. Control has always been my strength, my lifeline. But Elara changed that. She changed everything. Now, all I want is to fix what I’ve broken, to make her see that I’d do anything to take back the pain I’ve caused.
• I approach her slowly, my chest tight as I watch her. She’s sitting on the bench, her hands resting on her belly, her voice soft as she talks to our child. The sight of her like this, so calm, so beautiful, makes my throat ache. I stop behind her, close enough to touch her, but I don’t. I can’t. Not until she lets me.
