As the phone call continued, Luca's enthusiasm grew. His baby laughter filled the air, and at one point, he even managed to grab onto a stack of papers and send them fluttering to the ground like confetti.Osiris shot Summer an amused glance, a mixture of exasperation and fondness in his eyes. "Looks like he's giving his stamp of approval to the office ambiance."Summer grinned, shaking her head. "I must say, I've never seen a more enthusiastic participant in a conference call."Eventually, the phone call wrapped up, and Osiris let out a breath of relief. He glanced down at Luca, who was giggling and waving his tiny arms in the air. "Well, I think he's convinced that my office is a fun place to be."Summer chuckled. "It's safe to say that Luca's review of your office is a glowing one."As the day continued, the office transformed into a playful blend of business and baby laughter. Osiris managed to strike a balance between his work responsibilities and Luca's curious explorations. And
As they continued to float in the pool, their eyes locked in a silent exchange, they both realized that rules could be bent and boundaries could blur in the pursuit of genuine connection. In that moment, they were more than just Osiris and Summer—they were two souls navigating the waters of life, unafraid to embrace the unexpected currents that brought them closer together.With that, they shared a quiet smile, their eyes locked in a moment of shared understanding. In the midst of their playful exchange, they had stumbled upon a truth that felt both simple and profound—a reminder that amidst the plans and rules, the most cherished memories were often the ones that caught them off guard, leaving them laughing, splashing, and fully immersed in the joy of the present moment.As they stood there together, under the watchful gaze of the stars, Osiris and Summer found themselves embracing the spontaneity of life and the boundless possibilities that lay ahead.As the night stretched on, they
“Jesus Christ! You gotta be kidding me, Sum– wait, really? Are you… are you… fucking pregnant!?” The room fell into a stunned silence, the weight of Summer's confession hanging heavy in the air. Osiris's gaze remained fixed on her, a mix of disbelief and a hint of realization crossing his features. "Pregnant?" he repeated softly, as if trying to process the enormity of the news.Summer nodded, her eyes filled with a blend of emotions. "Yes, and it's not yours." She could feel the tension in the room rise as Osiris's expression shifted from disbelief to curiosity.His eyes narrowed as he asked, "Then who...?"Summer took a deep breath, her voice steady but tinged with sadness. "Legacy. Though you and I had a one night stand before, you know, when we were both drunk."The room seemed to tilt as Osiris's mind raced to piece together the puzzle. "How are you fucking sure, Summer? How can you be sure that he's the father?"A somber smile touched her lips as she replied, "I've already done
Baby Luca cooed in response, his tiny fingers reaching out to grasp at Osiris's shirt. Osiris chuckled and glanced over at Summer. "Say goodbye to Mommy Summer," he teased. "Did you just call me...?" Summer's voice trailed off, her cheeks flushing slightly. Osiris grinned mischievously. "Yes, Mommy Summer, I said." Summer's eyes widened, a mixture of surprise and embarrassment on her face. She shook her head, trying to play it cool. "Well, you better take good care of our little one, Daddy Osiris." "Bye, Mommy Summer," Osiris said in a playful imitation of a baby's voice, giving baby Luca a little wave. Summer's cheeks grew even redder as she chuckled, feeling a warm mixture of amusement and affection for the man before her. "Okay, Daddy Osiris, time to go to work," she said, standing up from her seat and walking over to them. Osiris carefully handed baby Luca over to her, their hands briefly brushing against each other in the process. Their eyes met, a fleeting moment of conne
As he reached the end of the documents, Legacy's heart felt heavy with a mixture of emotions. He had sought answers, and now he had them – but he also had a deeper understanding of the passage of time, the changes that occurred, and the reasons behind Summer's choices.Closing the envelope, he leaned back in his seat, his thoughts a whirlwind of memories and reflections. The woman he had known was not the same person she had become, and yet, the connection they had shared still resonated within him.On a quiet night, Legacy sat in his room, staring at his phone. He took a deep breath before dialing his parents' number. As the call connected, he requested that both his mom and dad be on the line together – he had something important to share, something that required their united attention.His mother's warm voice came through first, followed by his father's more authoritative tone. "We're both here, Legacy. What's on your mind?" his dad asked.Legacy's heart raced as he searched for th
The moon hung low in the sky, casting a silvery glow over Legacy's sprawling mansion. His mind was a tempest of conflicted emotions, a maelstrom of desire, jealousy, and obsession that churned within him. The demons of his past had risen to the surface, consuming his thoughts and driving him to the edge of reason.His fingers curled around the glass of whiskey, the burn of the alcohol a feeble attempt to quell the storm raging within his chest. The image of Summer and another man together was a thorn in his mind, a constant reminder of what he felt he had lost. He stared out at the vast expanse of his property, the darkness outside mirroring the shadows that had taken root within him."I can't just let you slip through my fingers, Summer," he murmured to himself, his voice a low, ominous whisper that seemed to be carried away by the wind. “I won’t just do nothing watching you being happy, Summer, with that fucking bastard and without having the chance to be with my son.”A sinister sm
Summer's gaze remained unyielding, her emotions a tempest she struggled to contain. "Understand what, Legacy? The damage has been done."A mixture of regret and remorse flickered across his features, his shoulders sagging beneath the weight of their shared history. "I know I can't change the past, but I can't help but feel a connection to this baby, to you."A bitter laugh escaped Summer's lips, the sound as brittle as her resolve. "A connection born out of a reckless disregard for the consequences of your actions?"Legacy's eyes bore into hers, the rawness of his expression baring the complexities of his emotions. "I was young, stupid, and I made mistakes. But I can't erase the past. I want to be there for this child, to be a father."“Young? What the fuck! Right, stupid, I couldn’t agree more. You’re way worse than that.” The silence that followed was heavy with unspoken words. As Summer's gaze held Legacy's, she saw the remnants of a man who had once shattered her heart. And yet, i
His malevolence remained hidden beneath a veneer of remorse, a mask that concealed the sinister intentions that lay beneath.Summer's vulnerability was his canvas, and he painted upon it a portrait of contrition and longing. It was a performance designed to elicit her compassion, to make her believe that he was worthy of a second chance. And as he gazed into her eyes, he reveled in the knowledge that she remained entrapped within the web he had spun.The seconds stretched, their gazes locked in a silent exchange that spoke volumes of their shared history. Legacy's eyes gleamed with a calculated intensity, his expression carefully calibrated to mirror the depths of sorrow he wished to convey. His every movement, every word, was a meticulously orchestrated symphony of manipulation, a symphony that he conducted with a cold and calculating precision.And Summer, swayed by the currents of emotion and memories that washed over her, could not help but respond to his act. Her heart ached with
