2025-01-31 11:00:35POV: LAUREN
“Oh, really?” Carter raised an eyebrow, clearly holding back a laugh. “And how do you plan to pay her salary every month? With what money?”
“You can give her my allowance!” Theo shot back without hesitation.
My heart tightened at his gesture. I placed a hand over my chest, touched, and smiled at such kindness.
“Theo, my little one, you don’t have to do that.” I kneeled to his level and hugged him tightly. “But thank you for wanting me to stay.”
“Fairy, if you leave, I’m leaving too!” Theo stated seriously, catching us by surprise.
“Hey, kiddo, that’s not necessary. I’m not firing your nanny.” Henry intervened, rubbing the back of his neck, visibly uncomfortable.
“You’re not?” Theo’s eyes widened as he looked fr

POV: HENRYThe afternoon heat made the office an unbearable place. The air conditioner hummed softly, but it didn’t seem enough to drive away the uncomfortable feeling lingering around me.My eyes were locked on the pile of contracts on the desk, but my focus was elsewhere. Theo’s childish laughter filled the room—light and carefree, a stark contrast to my mind drowning in numbers and deadlines.I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose.“What the hell is going on out there?” I muttered to myself.Setting the pen aside, I lifted my gaze to the panoramic window. Down in the backyard, Theodor was running around the pool, holding a water gun, and shooting jets of water at Lauren, who was trying to dodge them.“You’ll never hit me, kiddo!” she teased, laughing.Theo laughed even louder, determined to prove her wrong. But my

POV: LAURENI felt Henry Carter’s gaze fixed on me as I stepped out of the pool with Theo in my arms. The cold breeze sent shivers down my skin, but that wasn’t the only reason. My body was wet, the swimsuit clung too much, and the awareness of being exposed under that intense gaze unsettled me.I took a deep breath, trying to ignore the strange sensation.“Don't start with this, Lauren,” I scolded myself mentally, focusing on what really mattered—getting Theo inside before he caught a cold.The little one trembled slightly but was still smiling, completely oblivious to the way Henry affected me.After Theo’s bath and another playful session with towels and bubbles, the rest of the afternoon passed without any sign of Carter. He seemed to have vanished, and I should have felt relieved. But for some reason, his absence only made the memory of his gaze even more present.To distract my mind, I decided to teach Theo a cookie recipe. He loved the idea. We made a huge mess in the kitchen,

POV: LAURENMy heart clenched, and I knew that nothing I said now would make this pain completely disappear.“Theo, that’s not what I meant,” I tried to explain, but he was already pulling away.His hurried steps betrayed the weight of what he had just heard.“It’s okay, Fairy,” his voice came out thick with emotion, his shoulders hunched. “My parents didn’t want me either… neither did Uncle Henry.”A sharp ache tightened in my chest.“Hey, kid!” Henry called, his voice firm, but Theo had already bolted down the hallway, slamming his bedroom door shut.A heavy silence filled the room.Henry ran a hand over his face, his jaw clenched tight. Then, without warning, he turned and punched the kitchen counter, the wood vibrating from the impact.“Damn it!” he growled, his teeth gritted.I bit the inside of my cheek, feeling a lump form in my throat. The atmosphere felt suffocating.Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to stay clear-headed. I ran my hands through my hair, trying to ignore H

POV: HENRYThe warmth of her lips against mine was real, intense. Her uneven breaths mixed with mine, and all it would take was a single word for me to kiss her the way we both wanted. I kept the touch light, teasing and moistening my lips before brushing the tip of my tongue against hers, testing her reaction.“Mr. Carter…” Lauren murmured, her voice low, filled with something she couldn’t quite hide.Her arms slid around my neck, her fingers grazing the back of my head. She lifted slightly onto her toes, closing the space between us. My gaze locked onto hers, trying to decipher just how far she wanted to take this.“You’re not going to seduce me into accepting the contract,” she whispered against my mouth, a challenge disguised as provocation.Before I could react, Lauren gently pushed me away and turned her back, staring out at the view. I took a d

POV: LAURENThe following days passed without me seeing Henry as often. He was buried in work, and his presence in the house became almost nonexistent. I used the mornings, while Theodor was at school, to go to my prenatal appointments. To my relief, my baby was developing well and healthy. The nausea had eased, and for the first time in weeks, I felt like I could finally breathe a little better.I visited my mother and Kate, hoping to find some comfort in their presence. But reality hit me hard when I went to the bank to negotiate the debt my father had left behind.“This is absurd!” My voice came out louder than I intended, but I didn’t care. I placed my hands on the desk and stared down at the manager in front of me. “These interest rates are outrageous! How do you expect me to pay the creditors when the bank is robbing me like this?”The man before me wore an expensive suit and a

In one swift motion, Henry pulled me toward him and pinned me against the wall.His strong hands seized my wrists, holding them above my head, keeping me trapped as his face drew dangerously close. His gaze dropped to my mouth before he captured it between his teeth, biting down on my lower lip and sucking it slowly.A low moan slipped from me.He didn’t wait for anything else.He plunged into a deep, intense, and hungry kiss, exploring my mouth with no rush—but with absolute possession.

My mouth was dry, my head heavy. “How the hell did I get home?”I tried to move, but I felt something pressing against my shoulder.Frowning, I turned my head to the side.Lauren.She was lying beside me, her hand resting on my chest, her head nestled against my arm. Her hair spilled over the bed—soft, fragrant, silky.My gaze traveled down her partially covered body. The thin nightgown clung to her curves, revealing just enough to make my breath hitch.

POV: LAURENA soft knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts. When I opened it, the housekeeper stood there, holding an elegant box out to me.“This arrived for you,” she said with a slight smile.I hesitantly took the box, feeling the weight of what it meant.“Did Mr. Carter send it?” I asked, suspicious.“Yes, he asked you to get ready for dinner—without delays,” she confirmed before stepping away.I took a deep breath and carried the box to the bed. Undoing the ribbon, I slowly lifted the lid.Inside, a white dress lay neatly folded—delicate and sophisticated. The lace details made it even more refined, and for a moment, I swallowed hard.“He’s got to be joking.” I murmured.The dress was stunning—almost too stunning. There was something about it that reminded me of a wedding gown. My fingers glided over the fabric, and the thought of what Henry might be planning settled in my mind.Was this a date?I shook my head, pushing the thought away. No… He was practical and calculated.

POV: LAURENBeing around Henry was becoming dangerous.I touched my lips, still tasting him, the vivid memory of his kiss burning against my skin. My body felt branded by the firm grip of his hands, as if he were still there, holding me, provoking me.I bit my lip, trying to push the sensations away. Running my hands over my face, I let out a frustrated sigh.“What am I doing?” I muttered, staring at my reflection in the mirror.My eyes looked brighter than usual, and my cheeks were flushed.I couldn’t keep doing this.“This is already complicated enough.”I exhaled slowly, trying to rearrange my thoughts.“But why did he come here last night?” I murmured, remembering the knock on the door, the way his gaze devoured me, and the kiss he stole without hesitation.“Damn it!”The worst part?I liked it.No one had ever kissed me like that.No one had ever touched me with that kind of intensity, as if I were something precious and forbidden all at once.Not even Ethan—my ex-husband—had eve

POV: HENRYMy voice came out firm, unhurried. My eyes traveled over her body, taking in every detail of the thin nightgown that clung to her curves.Damn it… why did she have to look so irresistible?“We’re already done here,” she countered, her voice steady but her gaze hesitant. She tried to pull her arm free, but I tightened my grip slightly, keeping her in place.“There was nothing.”I raised an eyebrow, assessing her tense expression.“Nothing?” I repeated slowly, leaning in slightly.“Nothing,” she insisted, averting her gaze.“Then why are you running from me?” I stepped closer, brushing a strand of her hair away from her face, tucking it behind her ear. “Why are you looking at me like that if nothing happened?”Becker p
