RONNELL POVThe weekend brunch Tradition we started after college had balloned. today, it wasn't just William, Mathew, and me. Today, William's sister, Mia, graced us with her presence. Not that Mia was bad, exactly. there was just...a friction between us, a static charge built from year's of childhood sniping. But williiam was practically a brother, so I endured Mia for his sake. (besides, she drove William equally crazy)Our table was situated at our favorite brunch spot, overlooking the sidewalk. The early autumn sun was positioned directly above us, providing a beacon of warmth on a mildly chilly day. “I'm surprised you're here, Ron, you have been less active__” Sarah remarked. “It seems like you've made It to more brunches than you've missed lately.” I looked up from my menu, which I didn't really need since I almost always ordered the same thing. “Is that a complaint?”I knew that it wasn't. Sarah was my cousin who was married to Mathew, and we were really close. Both our pare

BLAIR POV"I'm fine," I managed to say, my voice wobbly."You're not—" His gaze snapped to my stomach, catching the violent movement beneath the thin fabric of my dress. His eyes widened in surprise, and dawning realization."I don't know why the baby kicks every now and then," I stammered, trying to cover my sudden unease. The movement felt different this time, sharper, almost urgent.“I think that's normal, right?” Ronnell stared at my belly being prodded from inside.“I think it's normal for the baby anyway.” As if its own will, his hand slowly touched the middle of my stomach. I held my breath, watching him move in slow motion. At the last second, his eyes flickered to mine, asking permission. For reasons I couldn't explain, I gave it to him with a nod of my head. His palm stretched out on top of my belly, and the baby pressed against him. A shiver ran down my spine as his warm hand settled further on my stomach. It was a foreign sensation, a touch from a man who wasn't suppose

RONNEL POVThe gym doors creaked open, and Mathew sauntered in thirty minutes behind William and me. No surprise there. Even with a wife and the CEO position at Domin Motors under his belt, the carefree party animal in him still managed to show up late. But hey, that's Mathew. It's part of his charm, and it doesn't bother me a bit.It was perhaps why our three-way friendship functioned so well. Mathew balanced us out. William and I had a tendency to get lost in our work, and we both veered to the side of way too fucking seriously. Then again, neither of us had grown up in a stable environment, and we'd have to make our own way. When Mathew had entered the picture in college, he did smack off our blinders, so we finally saw the world around us. It wasn't all books and studying. Mathew was fucking fun. With all the good looks and smooth moves, he could talk his way in and out of everything. We'd had some few adventures back then, forging a bond that still held strong, though we'd all

BLAIR POVMy legs ache, knotted from hours spent crossed-legged. But I can't tear my gaze away from Nathaniel Paul Damian. They say birth is beautiful. But beautiful? Honey, there was nothing beautiful about that. Pushing a whole human out of...well, you get it. Shocking doesn't even begin to describe it.Still, the aftershocks of that chaos haven't worn off. My head's spinning, trying to catch up with the reality that I, Blair, am now a mother.But then Nathan lets out a gurgle, those impossibly blue eyes fluttering open for a brief moment. And just like that, the terror, the pain, the sheer ick factor - it all melts away. This tiny, perfect person, nestled in my arms, makes it all worth it. Sure, I won't forget the crazy ride that led to their arrival. But Nathan's presence is like a warm blanket, pushing the bad memories back, back, back.Eight weeks home, and Nathan was my lifeline. The rest of the world was a blurry mess, a constant current of exhaustion dragging me down. I didn'

BLAIR POV“I think I do want to know,” I responded. Roy's well-being gnawed at me, and the more I heard, the worse it sounded.“Roy has been through a lot lately,” she confirmed with a slight sigh.Samuel walked by with Nathan in his arms as I asked my question. "Terrible," Rosa continued, lowering her voice. "He's got this...hollow look in his eyes recently. Didn't have them when he started. The poor man has seen things in his short time at Ronnell Roman's hands."A gush of anger washed over me. Ronnell? That arrogant blowhard?Rosa nodded grimly. "A week or two ago, Roy confided in me about Ronnell ripping him a new one over the paper he writes on his daily schedule. Apparently, he complains Roy's handwriting is bad. Even had the nerve to ask if he'd failed some 'handwritten subject' in school! Roy even had someone else review his writing, but Ronnell wouldn't believe it wasn't Roy's fault."“Oh shit,” I muttered under my breath.This was worse than I imagined. Belittling someone o
