Hii 😍
So I really wanted to ask you (and now I’m finally caught up on TNA 3 chapters 🙈)
But what do you think is Addis goal? And Sam do you think he’s still in love with her?
I’m torn after the last chapter 🙈😬
(Because I’ve read some theories where I’m like mmmkay)
OMG yes, let's get into this!
Oh boy, apologies in advance. This answer really got away from me. 🫢
(if you aren't up to date with TNA, there are spoilers below)
So before I officially answer your question, I'm going to tell you the theory I've had since the end of book 2.
My initial theory was that she was bribed or blackmailed by Paolo to disappear, thus freeing up Sam to marry Sofia and secure the merger. Now that he is dead, she is able to come out of hiding without repercussion.
Since we've dug into the book though, and seeing/hearing more, I still believe Paolo was involved (it just seems way too weird that he died, and that was the end of it, unless that's how they bypassed his misogyny and get Sofia in the competition and eventually running the company). However, now I think that Mason was involved in it as well.
The timing of her showing up at the party, immediately after Sam steps down from the company and proposes to MC seems too suspicious for me. Mason had to have called her and told her to get her ass down to that ballroom. Why? Oh don't worry, I have a reason for that too. I don't think that the Daltons loved Addison for Sam, they expected him to end up with Sofia. So they got with Paolo (or acted alone) and got rid of her to make room for the business engagement. Then MC comes through and fucks all of that up.
Addison was bad, but marrying the help, especially after the controversy surrounding it (remember in book 1, on the way to the country club, Sam mentioned that his parent hated all that gossip news after his and Sofia's engagement leaked), is far worse. So if Sam isn't going to be married to Sofia, they'd rather he be with the lesser of the two evils. At least this way, he's a family man, and it's a happy story of long lost love, and a family reunited.
That being said, I have no idea what her goal is. If it was simply to get her family back, like she says it is, she wouldn't be storming into engagement parties with wedding licenses and causing a big scene. She would handle things quietly and delicately behind the scenes.
Let's also remember that she is the one that brought the DNA test to the cabin. I don't know trustworthy that test actually is. And honestly, neither does MC, because Sam won't fucking talk to her about anything. That could just be a PB plot hole that will just never make sense, but it does open the door for this to potentially not be Addison.
And can we talk about the "emergency in Berlin"? That's a set up if I ever did hear one. If I recall correctly, Mason was naming a new CEO because he was retiring. If he's retired, what the fuck kind of emergency requires them to drop everything and run to Berlin? The wall came down in '89 dude, nothing's happening. Sam's being Parent Trap'd, but instead of the twins being the one doing it, it's his parents.
I just unloaded a bunch of nonsense just to tell you this, I have no idea what her end game is, but it's not good, and it's not just trying to get her family back.
Now, does Sam still love her? Absolutely, 100%. He can talk a big game, and he can take MC on these little dates, and fuck her all over town, but at the end of the day, Addison was his wife. You can go through your grieving, and have other relationships, but you don't just stop loving that person.
You know that saying "he doth protest too much"? Sam doth protesting a whole lot. And I think that that's him trying to reassure MC, but also to convince himself.
The problem is, Sam is an incredibly indecisive and emotionally unavailable individual. He is constantly trying to do what everyone expects of him, so he has lived his life ignoring his own opinions and decisions. His whole life, he was living for his father, and doing what was expected of him as a Dalton. Then he met MC, and decided he was going to start living for himself.
However, he doesn't know how to live for himself. He is again, doing what he thinks he's supposed to do, instead of what he wants to do. And he's so used to getting validation from his father, that MC has taken over that role for him. He needs her constant validation and approval. It's like with an addict, they say that when they quit their addiction, it gets replaced with another. He keeps reassuring her that he doesn't love Addison, and that they're still getting married, because that's the answer that he knows she wants to hear.
What I do know, is Jenny is an idiot for suggesting sending the two of them on a date together. And MC is a FUCKING idiot for thinking it's a good idea. Seriously? The person who literally just thought it was a good idea to fuck her married boyfriend in her best friend's office, during business hours, while he was in a meeting, you're going to trust her judgement right now?
If you're still here, congratulations! You listened to my crazy ramblings! Sorry I got so nuts, but I had a lot of pent up opinions and thoughts, I guess. 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for asking, and for your patience in reading this!

Saw someone say that Nia keeping secret was validated by Tyrils whole dilemma and shit behavior about it and yeah soooo true but also I think that. It shouldn't have been part of MCs plot. Like what if it wasn't MC who was told to keep her shadow secret but MAL.... like they have spent most of the year together they worked closely on the ophranage so plenty of time to build more trust between each other and Mal acting weird and closed off would be at least somewhat justified... as well as his sort of immunity to shadow attack like what if Nia had the ability to shield him bc he knew about her powers and didn't need explanation. Like I'm actually so pissed off that they created unnecessary drama for MC when the set up was already there that would have had deepened two LIs arcs and test their bonds with the group and MC.. but no its always annoying variation of liar reveal
I read this ask yesterday I think and have really been contemplating how I want to respond to it because I have so many thoughts and don’t want this to turn into a lengthy, disorganized mess 🤦🏽♀️ But anyway, from an objective standpoint this does make sense. And I do hate that MC was held responsible instead of Nia. (Although it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I thought everyone would be angry with us, which would’ve put me off Mal specifically even more considering his behavior so far — more on that later though. But it was really just Tyril if you picked one option and Nia herself if you picked the other based on some screenshots I saw. Which bitch, how is MC betraying your confidence when you’re literally standing in front of everyone looking like lit charcoal on a damn grill??? The secret’s already out! But I digress…). However, I know that Nia being coddled is a part of her arc and is contributing to her current shadow state and overall growth regardless of how annoying it is.
Back to your main point though, on a personal level I don’t think I would want Mal to be the one hiding Nia’s secret because I feel that would create a lot of potential for romantic undertones and he’s already been showing less genuine concern for MCs who are romancing him than he should anyway imo. He keeps saying he thought we were dead/going to die, he’s happy we’re back, things were so hard without us, etc., yet his actions don’t actually align with that. He wants to protect everyone so much to the point he’s willing to “sacrifice himself”, but he barely reacts to MC continuously being placed in near death situations? Idk it just feel like we’re priority #974127 on his list.
And then there’s the whole “you slept through it” situation, which I know I keep bringing up but is so serious in my eyes! He gets to diminish and dismiss what MC went through — something we don’t get to do when he’s crying about how hard it was throughout that year and us being ripped from the group was what caused the hardship in the first place! Like imagine if we were like “You didn’t have it that hard, Mal. You got to move on, continue to rob the rich, and open an orphanage while I was strapped down getting my blood drained and no one came to save me” 😐 And the sad thing is that I know it will never be addressed because it was something they used as a throwaway line to punish people who didn’t have the Inspire skill. (Which why you would make a character say something that damn cruel to the MC who is his friend or love interest as a throwaway line is beyond me, but whatever). Either way, my point is that it’s already bad enough that MC still feels like an outsider in the group (to me at least). So Mal being so closed off because he and Nia were keeping secrets on top of everything I just mentioned would be even worse imo

Hii 🥰
So in honor of World Yoga Day. I wanted to ask do your MC‘s and or OC‘s practice any type of sports?
If yes which one and why?
Hi Sweet Friend!
Thank you so much for the ask!
Let's start off with Open Heart: Yes, Tessa was into a sport. When she was in High School Tessa was on the volleyball team until she graduated. She loved the intensity of the game and the excitement a good rally brought.
TNA: Marie did do a sport in high school, she enjoyed being on the track team. It helped her clear her mind when she was struggling with her studies.
Thanks again for the ask!
🥰🥰
