Laura“Welcome, Mrs. Thompson, Mr., and Mrs. Pritchard are upstairs; can you go there, please?” Ava's secretary said this as she opened the door for me and my boyfriend. “Thank you, dear. I'm looking forward to it...” I was saying this as I entered the house and was already heading towards the stai
Laura “Oh, my God, what a cute baby...” I grumbled, my eyes shining with emotion as I looked at the baby enveloped in the blanket in Ava's arms. My friend had just given birth, and then the baby was delivered to her in her arms. The medical team had done an excellent job, and my friend had given bi
Laura "What are you doing? My boyfriend is downstairs... Stop it,” I asked him with my heart pounding as he took me with him to the terrace of the Pritchard house, but he didn't stop and took me upstairs and closed the front door to make sure we didn't go caught, or disturbed. “Terence is distrac
Terence “Ladies and gentlemen, I just became a fucking dad!” I spoke loudly and clearly as soon as I went downstairs to my house, a giant smile adorning my face, showing the bigness of my happiness. “Woah! That's right, Terry, congratulations; you deserve it," Jason said, coming to me limping and
Terence “Where’s Jason? I didn't see him leaving,” Nicole asked, becoming suspicious. It had been a few minutes since Jason had managed to go meet Laura, and I was here in the living room talking to Gideon and the doctor, distracting them. Now I shrugged at the question she asked. “The last time
Terence The next morning, I was in the room with Ava and our daughter Abby, talking and marveling at the newborn. “Can I hold him in my arms? I promise I won’t drop him,” I asked, my eyes shining as I looked at the little angel in the crib. Ava and Abby laughed at me for my speech. “You have to
Suzy “He still doesn’t answer your calls?” Clary asked as she tried to get Emmy to shut up since the baby was crying non-stop. “Yes, he continues to ignore me,” I replied nervously, calling Terence again. “What an idiot! Does he get you pregnant and then dump you like you were nobody? What an i
Ava "What?" Terence practically exclaimed when Nellie, our staff member, told him that a woman named Suzy was outside, saying she wanted to talk to him. “Is this serious? Is Suzy here?” Terence asked dumbfounded. “It could be true; It must be that something happened to the baby. She's been trying
Gideon POV I returned to my room with a slam of the door that echoed through the house, a reflection of the storm brewing inside me. The situation with Lindsay felt like a knot tightening in my chest. I needed a moment to compose myself, so I headed straight to the bathroom, where the sound of the
Gideon's POV I woke up with my hand outstretched, expecting to feel Lindsay's warmth beside me. A silly, almost childish smile appeared on my face as I remembered last night, the way Lindsay gave herself to me in such a unique way that it seemed new, as if I was getting involved with a woman I had
Lindsay POV I woke up with a tumult of emotions, a weight on my chest that made me think of Wyatt even before I opened my eyes. The clock read 5 a.m., and there was Gideon, sleeping as if nothing had happened. But for me, everything had changed at that moment of weakness. "What the hell did I do
Max POV "Fuck! My couch... I'll never be able to look at it without feeling disgusted," I muttered to myself, still staring at the piece of furniture with repulsion. The night was somewhat rainy, and the sound of drops hitting the window seemed like a warning from fate. Gideon and Lindsay had just
Gideon POV I was there, lying on the luxurious apartment couch, with Lindsay beside me, as I had always dreamed. My body was relaxed as if all the tension from recent times had left my shoulders, and my mind was so light that only happy thoughts passed through it. That was the power she had over me
Gideon POV I was there in the car, and I still couldn't believe that Lindsay was kissing me. After so long yearning for this moment, and suddenly, with a piece of advice from Jason and a day of practicing that advice, there she was, surrendering to me, kissing me with a passion that consumed me fro
Lindsay's POV I didn't know what to expect when I returned to work knowing that Gideon would be my new boss, but I certainly didn't imagine the day would be a whirlwind of emotions. The idea of working alongside my ex-husband didn't seem easy, but I was determined to show that I am professional, ca
Lindsay POV I was in the women's bathroom, watching my reflection in the mirror as I tried to compose myself to face Gideon once again. Seeing him there at the company had already been a surreal surprise, but finding out that he would be my new boss? It had completely disarmed me. I had even yelled
Laura POV I was lying on the dark blue sofa in my office, feeling every nerve in my body tense as if it were about to snap. Sunlight streamed through the windows, but it couldn't dispel the darkness of the day unfolding. The morning had started with Zoey's dismissal, leaving a bitter taste of betra
