I released a long sigh laden with unease, setting the knife aside on the counter and stepping out of the kitchen, leaving Jack absorbed by my determined stride. I gently took him by the arm, his head tilted, not quite grasping my intent."Come with me.""Where are you taking me?" he stammered, walking absentmindedly towards the outdoors.For some strange reason, I felt he truly needed a good dunk in icy water, so when we stopped at the edge of the pool, I gave him a push that sent him plunging headfirst into the chilly water, despite the sun setting behind the mountains and the clouds swirling in warm hues across the sky."What the hell is wrong with you?!" Jack exclaimed, bewildered, as he managed to resurface, running his hands through his hair to push it back from his face, leaving me stunned by the sensuality of his actions. "Why did you do that, Lucy?!""Because you deserve it for talking nonsense, you're a complete idiot, Jack," I replied, crossing my arms.He looked at me, bewi

As soon as he said that, he let go of me slowly to submerge himself underwater.Puzzled, I watched his movements.Jack swiftly positioned himself in front of me and began to lift my blouse gradually, while planting intense kisses on my torso. When his breath was about to run out, he straightened up, ripping off the garment with a swift motion, leaving me in my bra.He gently grabbed the back of my neck, forcing me to lift my gaze and make kissing more comfortable. He invaded my mouth eagerly, merging his exquisite tongue with mine, fighting to dominate the other.It was supposed to be terrifyingly cold there, but suddenly, my whole body started to heat up, as if someone had lit a fire around us.His hands roamed my back, and unable to resist, I took off his shirt. I backed away a bit to trail my tongue along his throat, eliciting a hoarse moan from him. I nibbled on his collarbone and much of his chest, while he let me do as I pleased, engrossed in unbuttoning my pants, intending to l

The next day, when I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Jack's serene sleepy face inches from mine.I smiled like a fool as I planted a soft kiss on his cheek, avoiding waking him up with my touch.I searched for my clothes on the floor as I got up, but I could barely find my underwear. I lazily stretched across the room and found a shirt in the closet that was quite large on me, but it was comfortable; I preferred that to walking semi-naked around the house.To my dismay, what was supposed to be cooked the day before had completely spoiled after being left out of the fridge. So, without further ado, I dialed from my phone for some food from the first restaurant I located on an app.I glanced at the time on the screen after hanging up, realizing it was past noon and I hadn't bothered to go to work. I had several missed calls from Ryan, others from Cody, some from Nia, and over ten from Nurse Kim.I let out a tired sigh; it had been a wild night with my own boss, so being late t

I took a deep breath, controlling the anxiety within me, and dragged my feet to the emergency room to take care of the commotion among the interns. Meanwhile, I prayed in my deepest thoughts that the test wouldn't come back negative, pleading with all the gods to please not break Jack's heart any further.But my pleas and the heaps of prayers I had made internally didn't seem to be heard.We were given the papers late at night, and Jack, trembling with fear, handed them to me to review for him, as he couldn't bring himself to even glance at them. Opening the flimsy sheet with the information, I found the news that the chestnut-haired man feared so much. I gritted my teeth, angry at the cruelty of this universe that was always mocking us, and Jack raised one eyebrow, expectant for me to comment on the results. However, the words got stuck in my throat."What does it say?" he asked, his face tense with concern. I felt my heart pounding desperately in my chest, with the intention of runn

We fell into silence, not knowing what was best to say after such a confession, but no comments came out of our mouths. Both of us were stunned.Victoria, with her head down, tucked a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear, wiping away the tear stains on her rosy cheeks with her trembling hands, while Jack just stood there lifeless, with his world completely shattered at his feet.You could see in his eyes how miserable he felt inside, desperately trying to think that it wasn't true, that she had only blurted out that name just to say something and not because it was true, and I, like an idiot, stood there next to him, unable to move a muscle despite the intense orders I sent to my limbs to leave. Because that matter definitely didn't concern me."How is it possible that Cody is Lucila's father?" Jack chuckled, rolling his eyes at how absurd that idea sounded.But I couldn't share in his moment of mockery, I was static, lost in my thoughts, where what Cody had mentioned weeks ago re

"I'm so sorry, Jack," she apologized, casting him a shame-filled look that only seemed to further infuriate him. Maybe apologizing wouldn't solve anything, but it was a step forward, away from the pit they had gotten stuck in. "I thought that making you believe that girl was yours was the best way to keep you by my side, and I was selfish, a complete idiot, and I'm truly sorry, Jack. I regret being a big part of the reason your life is a mess, and I know you don't love me, but Jack, I have loved you every day of my life, I have loved you since we were children, and I have continued to love you, even knowing that you only love her," she murmured, glancing at me sideways, letting out a slight smile of gratitude amidst her tears as she saw me by her side trying to comfort her. "I thought I would never see Cody again, I thought we wouldn't meet in this vast universe, and I would live peacefully until the day I die, taking this secret to the grave, but now he's there with his daughter, who

After several weeks, Jack and Victoria ended up signing the official divorce papers, in which she decided not to fight for money or anything at all.After what had happened, she didn't have the face for it, and he didn't put up much of a fuss either, except for the simple condition that she allow Lucila to continue being his daughter, give him time with her on weekends, and let him provide her with help in whatever she needed as if he were her real father.Because even though she didn't have a drop of his blood, his daughter was very important to him; he adored her too much and wished with all his being that their good relationship would continue.Therefore, Victoria, ashamed of having hurt him so much with such a deception, reluctantly agreed.Her emotional state was quite unstable for days on end; sometimes when we saw each other, she was extremely happy, but at times, Jack was so devastated that he cried in my arms, grieving alongside him.The matter worsened even more when he unde

"But he visits her every blessed day!" she huffed, crossing her arms, indignant that the dark-haired man spent more time in the hospital than at university or working. "What more does that fool need from her?""It's different to see a sick person bedridden, than a healthy girl running around, they're two very different things, Nia," I muttered, glaring at her, making it clear to her, but she just rolled her eyes, annoyed with the topic. "And even more so when it's your daughter.""I know what you mean, but think about it, Lucy. If they met, it was for a reason, coincidences don't exist, everything is planned in advance, that's how fate works. Just let Victoria tell him in due time, those aren't your problems. You focus completely on keeping Jack satisfied, okay?"I felt my cheeks burn at her comment, which was aimed at embarrassing me in front of her mischievously gleaming gray eyes.I parted my lips to retort, but she, amused by my reaction, leaned a bit over the counter, stealing on

Upon arriving at our house, I observed everything in wonder; it truly was a beautiful place we had chosen.The kitchen was spacious enough for both of us to cook if we felt like it at any moment, in the living room there was a small dining table and a sofa for when we had visitors along with several matching chairs.On each wall, there was a painting or some strange decoration that Jack had chosen, and the truth was, they didn't look too bad; it was even relaxing to look at those senseless lines on the canvases.Our apartment had two bedrooms, where one was meant to be our bedroom and the other would be a sort of office with our books and important work belongings; it was a very simple place, just what we knew we needed to be comfortable.I arranged the last books on the polished wooden shelves, while I listened in the distance to Jack chatting with his secretary about company matters that, truth be told, I didn't understand at all.I stepped out of the office, closing the door gently

Jack scribbled on the form I had given him, answering the necessary questions and providing the most relevant information to proceed in the lab to extract some of his blood, just like Victoria, who was taking too long, as she glanced sideways at Cody fearfully, as if she wanted to say something that was dying in her throat when she tried to speak.I bit my lip anxiously, searching for a way to convince Cody to take the test, but nothing really good came to mind. I drummed my fingers on the reception counter, where two friendly nurses awaited them to hand in their forms."Are you sure you don't want to take the test?" I questioned in a thread of a voice for the umpteenth time. The dark-haired man stood beside me, watching Victoria curiously. It was evident in his gaze and the way he smiled that he was truly enamored with her. "You'd help Lucila a lot, Cody.""I'd like to, but I don't want to embarrass myself by fainting like a little girl," he replied through gritted teeth, so that the
