Chapter 76

• Alpha Ivik
• My table was overflowing with crucial things: the sales reports, the client contracts, and the budget analysis. But none of them matched the importance of the small picture frame that sat in the corner. It was a picture of Heather and the triplets. That was all I got from the wreckage of our previous lives, and it reminded me of what truly mattered—a family.
• Luka, Avery, and Theo. When I saw those kids in person, I was overflowing with joy and a sense of purpose. Their laughter and innocence were priceless, and they brought a warmth to my heart that I had never experienced before. Avery reminded me of Heather when she was that age, with her curly chesnut hair and sweet smile. Luka had the same drive in his eyes that I saw in Heather when she tackled any challenge, but among the three of them, he was my lookalike. And Theo, with his gentle nature and curiosity, reminded me of the way Heather used to explore the world around her.
