BrandonSofia left for the restaurant. Since Aaron was a bit under the weather, we thought it would be better for him to stay home with me with Laureen's help. I'm in the kitchen, going through some documents, when Laureen approaches."Did Aaron manage to sleep?"I ask."Yes, but it took a while!"she smiles.The girl is pretty, communicative, and helpful. After recovering from the incident, she seemed even more dedicated to being helpful.I run my hands over my face."My God, my son's first cold! I never thought I'd be so worried! He's so uncomfortable."Laureen laughs at my reaction."It's how it goes,"she says, washing the small bottle in the sink. "My brothers used to get cranky when they were sick. It'll only last a few days. You'll see."She pauses a few steps away, thoughtful."You have such a dedicated way of taking care of him. It's admirable. You're a great father!""Thank you. "I'm just trying to do my best."The young woman moves a bit closer."Sometimes, I think you deserve

SofiaA few days pass, and the situation with Laureen seems to superficially stabilize. She resumes her duties as a nanny, maintaining a more professional approach as agreed upon in the conversation with Brandon. However, I notice that her presence still carries an aura of mystery.One day, returning from work, I find Laureen in the living room, playing with Aaron. The scene appears normal at first glance, but something in her expression makes me pause for a moment."Hello, Sofia. How was your day?" she asks, smiling."It was good, Laureen. Thank you for taking care of Aaron," I reply, trying to appear calm.She stands up, adjusting her hair casually."Always a pleasure. If you need anything else, I'm around."As she walks away, my gaze is drawn to a subtle sparkle on her wrist. A delicate bracelet, unnoticed before, catches my attention. It might be just an accessory, but something tells me there's more than meets the eye.I decide to address the issue with Brandon later that night w

Brandon Still enveloped in the fog of sleep, I feel a gentle touch on my lips. A light kiss. Automatically, I smile, convinced it's Sofia because I catch a whiff of her perfume, finally back from her shift at the restaurant. Nights are long when she's away, and this kiss is like a relief, a temporary seal of connection broken by distance. Then, as if a fog is lifting, I realize something is off. The texture of the lips isn't quite Sofia's. And I know that mouth too well to be mistaken. Confusion takes over, and my mind, still half-asleep, tries to process this unsettling information. I open my eyes fully, and the sight that unfolds is entirely unexpected. Laureen is there, her silhouette softly illuminated by the moonlight streaming through the window. My eyes widen in surprise and confusion as I reach for the bedside lamp, shocked to find the girl completely nude. My mind tries to comprehend what's happening. "Laureen?" I murmur, more to myself than to her. Her expression is a mix

SofiaThe police show us real-time images of what's happening at the location where I left the bag with the money. Hours have passed; David hasn't called again, but he hasn't gone after the money either. Both Brandon and I can't eat anything. Anguish takes over us. The worry about how our son is doing. Our little, fragile baby. I've decided that when I have him in my arms again, I'll dedicate more time to him, even if I have to hire someone to help me with the restaurant. I love what I do, but I love my family even more. It took being in this current situation for me to realize that these are my priorities. Aaron and Brandon. The two men in my life."Look!" One of the police officers calls our attention to the laptop on the kitchen counter. We approached quickly, realizing that a man, covered from head to toe, gets out of a car near the trash can where that fortune I took was. I recognize him, even if I can't see his face. The way he walks is unmistakable. It's David. He walks slowly

I have my lips pressed together as I observe Laura's reaction. I've just told her what we've been through in the past few days. She's motionless, her breath held, her restless eyes scanning my face as if processing the information she just received. Then she gives me a brief but tight hug and goes to the baby carrier where Aaron is peacefully asleep, picking him up and cradling him lovingly against her chest. Her eyes are now closed, and I notice a shiver running through her. "By God, Sofia! Why didn't you call me?" Her voice is deep and trembling. "I had no idea what you were going through!""I was already so scared, knowing I was at risk, with my house taken over by a battalion of police. I was terrified at the thought that David might find out somehow, and then I would never see my son again!" I run my hand over Aaron's back, who remains asleep, oblivious to everything that has happened to him. "And, to be honest, I didn't even have the mental capacity to think about anything else,
