Stefan sat there, the weight of the old diary pressing against his lap like a stone. His fingers traced the yellowed pages as he continued reading, his breath slow and deliberate. The earlier pages about his own mother had been troubling enough—but what followed was something else entirely. Something unexpectedly warm, achingly gentle.
The rest of the diary had nothing more about Stefan's mother. Instead, page after page was devoted to Renee's family. And through those handwritten words, Stefan began to see a childhood he never knew existed.
*“X month, X Day. It's sunny, and I'm feeling good. Today, Ren turns three, and she's getting cuter every day. Compared to the other kids, she loves playing with Legos, and she even assembled over five hundred Lego blocks in two hours! I feel like she's going to be an expert in programming.”*
Stefan smiled softly, his mind painting a picture of a tiny girl with focused eyes, snapping colored bricks together with the determination of a little engineer.
*“X month, X Day. It's sunny, and I'm excited. Ren is turning twelve today, and my wife said that she's now a young woman. No wonder she kept hiding in the washroom today. As her father, I don't know what to feel. It just seems like girls are bound to suffer more in this world. I'm worried sick at the thought of her graduation, wedding, and childbirth. I just hope she'll get a good husband who will take care of her when I'm gone.”*
Stefan inhaled deeply, his chest tightening. His eyes grew hot, and a thin film of tears blurred the ink. Those words—written by a father who loved Renee so deeply—struck him like a blow. He knew, with a bitterness that coiled in his stomach, that he had not been that good husband Renee's father had prayed for. He hadn't protected her. He hadn't given her peace. He had failed.
Slowly, Stefan pressed his fingers to his eyelids. "Mr. Everheart," he whispered, his voice cracking. "I'm sorry for letting you down. But don't worry. I'll make it up to her. I'll protect her well from now on."
He made that promise not just to the dead, but to himself.
The diary continued—page after page of notes, thoughts, and loving observations. Stefan turned each leaf carefully, still searching. But there was nothing else about Francine. Not a word. It wasn't until he reached the very last page that his breath caught in his throat.
Half of that page had been torn off. Ragged edges betrayed a violent removal. But the remaining half held words that would shake Stefan to his core.
*“I got a letter, and to my surprise, it was from Francine. I didn't dare to read it for a long time, but when I finally did, I regretted not reading it sooner. In the letter, Francine told me a secret that she had kept buried deep in her heart. I learned what a scumbag I was and how much trouble I've caused her. She was actually pregnant the year we broke up, and the child is mine. His name is...”*
Stefan's head began to throb. His pulse hammered in his ears as he stared at the torn page. His mother and Renee's father… they had shared a child together. And that child's name had been ripped away—a secret known only to Francine and to Renee's late father.
Who was that child? Where was he now? And could it possibly be... someone Stefan knew?
Unable to bear the suspense, Stefan did what any desperate man would do. He stopped overthinking. He pulled out his phone and called his mother.
It was past ten o'clock at night, and Francine had already applied her face mask and slipped into bed when her phone rang. She answered with that familiar, urgent tone that only a mother could have.
"What's the matter, son? Did you make peace with Renee? Are you getting along well with her? Did anything bad happen?"
"I'm doing great, and Ren... is good too. But I found something," Stefan said, his voice low and somber.
Francine's motherly instincts flared. "I knew it—bad things will happen if you get together with her. You both might be incompatible, but luckily, I got two charms from the fortune teller. You and Renee should wear them to stop the bad luck."
Stefan almost sighed. These days his mother had embraced superstition. She was desperate, in her own way, to clear every obstacle between her son and the woman he loved. But tonight, such trivial concerns didn't matter.
"That's fine. We're good, and we always will be," Stefan said, his tone gentle but firm. Then he paused, the question heavy on his tongue. "I just wanted to ask you..."
A heartbeat of hesitation. Then he dove in.
"What was your relationship with Renee's father?"

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh my goodness. This chapter grabbed me by the collar and refused to let go. The emotional whiplash is real—first we melt at the sweet, loving diary entries Renee's father wrote about her, and then we're slammed with a revelation that threatens to rewrite everything. Stefan's guilt and heartfelt promise to Renee's father gave me chills. And the torn page? A villain-level cliffhanger. The identity of that child is a mystery I need solved yesterday. The tension between Stefan and his mother is beautifully built, and her sudden shift to superstition adds an intriguing layer. I loved every second of this—the storytelling is raw, emotional, and full of suspense.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
In the next chapter, Francine's answer will likely stun Stefan—and us. Given her evasive and superstitious nature, she may try to deflect or even deny any involvement at first. But with Stefan pushing harder, the truth will probably tumble out in fragments. We might finally learn the name written on that torn page, and it could turn out to be someone shockingly close to the present-day story. Perhaps a half-brother? An ally? Or even an enemy hiding in plain sight? I'm predicting an explosive conversation that will leave Stefan reeling and redefine his family history.
