The corridor slowly resumed its rhythm. Monitors beeped. A stretcher rolled past. Sofía shot her a quick, curious glance before pretending very hard not to look curious at all.

Ariana inhaled.

Exhaled.

Return to work.

She forced her feet to move.

The rest of the shift passed in fragments.

She adjusted IV drips with hands that were steadier than she felt. She checked charts twice instead of once. She answered questions from a resident about medication timing and barely heard her own voice explai

  • A Hot Daddy For Christmas   Chapter 145

    For a moment, neither of them spoke.The noise of the café filled the space between them, but it didn’t touch what was sitting at the table.Cami looked down at her hands, then back up at Ariana.“You know what the worst part is?” she asked.Ariana didn’t answer.She knew this wasn’t a question that needed one.Cami’s fingers tightened slightly around her cup.“It’s not even that you’re with him.”A pause.“It’s that you let me be around you while it was happening.”That landed differently.Sharper.More personal.Ariana felt her chest tighten.“I didn’t plan it,” she said quietly.Cami let out a short laugh.“That doesn’t make it better.”“I know.”“No, I don’t think you do,” Cami replied, her voice still controlled but heavier now. “Because you weren’t the one sitting there, talking to someone, trusting them, while they were hiding something like that from you.”Ariana’s gaze dropped for a second.Not avoiding.Just… taking it in.“I would’ve told you,” she said.Cami shook her head

    Cami didn’t overthink it this time.That was new.Usually, she would’ve waited. Let the feeling settle, sharpen, turn into something precise before acting on it.But she was tired of being the one who adjusted after everything had already happened.So she picked up her phone and called.Ariana answered almost immediately.“Cami?”There was something in her voice—surprise, relief, tension all mixed together.“We’re not doing this over text,” Cami said.Direct. No buildup.A small pause on the other end.“Okay,” Ariana replied. “Where?”Cami glanced around her room like the answer might be there.“Tomorrow. Lunch. That café near the park.”“I know it.”Another pause.“Cami—”But she cut her off.“Don’t say anything now.”Her tone wasn’t harsh.Just controlled.“I’d rather you say it to my face.”A beat.“…okay,” Ariana said quietly.The line went dead.Cami lowered her phone slowly.Her heart was beating faster now.Not from nerves.From anticipation.Because this time—she wasn’t going

    Ariana noticed the shift before it was said out loud.It wasn’t dramatic.It wasn’t obvious.It was in the way Mateo looked at his phone a little longer than usual, then put it down without saying anything.In the way he stayed quiet after dinner, not distant, just… thinking.She waited a while before asking.“What happened?”He looked at her from across the table.Nothing defensive.Nothing hidden.“I spoke to Cami.”That was enough to tighten something in her chest.Not fear.Not jealousy.Something more complicated.“Okay,” she said carefully. “And?”Mateo leaned back slightly in his chair.“She’s angry.”Ariana nodded slowly.“That makes sense.”Silence followed.Because neither of them tried to soften it.Ariana traced the edge of her glass with her finger, watching it for a second.“What kind of angry?” she asked.Mateo didn’t rush.“The kind that hasn’t finished yet.”That landed heavier than she expected.Ariana looked down for a moment.“I didn’t want to hurt her,” she said q

    Cami didn’t sleep.She lay on her back, staring at the ceiling, the faint glow of the city slipping through the curtains and stretching across her room.Her phone was still on the bed beside her.Screen dark now.But she knew exactly what was on it.You already did.She had meant it.That was the problem.She turned onto her side, pulling the pillow closer, her fingers gripping the fabric without realizing it.For days—weeks—she had been fine.Not pretending.Not forcing it.Just… fine.Everything had settled into something manageable. Predictable. Controlled.No surprises.No emotional spikes.No moments that caught her off guard.And then one message—and suddenly she couldn’t shut her mind off.She sat up abruptly, pushing the covers away, frustration building in her chest.“Why now?” she muttered under her breath.It wasn’t even anger.That would have been easier.It was something heavier.Something that didn’t explode—just stayed.She got up, pacing her room, running a hand thro

    Cami didn’t plan to go home that early.But something about the night lost its pull halfway through.The music felt louder than usual. Conversations blurred together. Diego was saying something beside her, but she wasn’t really listening.She picked up her drink, stared at it for a second, then set it back down untouched.“I’m leaving,” she said.Diego paused. “Already?”“Yeah.”He studied her face like he was trying to figure out if something had happened.“Want me to come with you?”Cami shook her head.“No.”A small pause.“I just want to be alone.”He didn’t push.“Text me when you get back.”She didn’t answer that. Just gave a small nod and walked out.The night air hit her differently this time.Cooler.Quieter.She wrapped her arms loosely around herself as she walked, heels clicking softly against the pavement.For once, she wasn’t rushing.She didn’t feel like she was escaping anything.But she wasn’t staying either.When she got home, she didn’t turn on the lights right away

    Morning came quietly.Ariana woke before him.For a few seconds, she didn’t move. She just lay there, watching him, like she needed to make sure he was still real in this version of things.The light coming through the window softened everything. Took the sharpness out of him. He looked different like this.Less controlled.Less guarded.Just… him.Her fingers moved before she could stop them, brushing lightly along his arm, tracing nothing in particular.He shifted slightly under her touch.His eyes opened a moment later.He didn’t look surprised to see her there.“You’re still here,” he said, his voice rough with sleep.Ariana smiled faintly.“I told you I wasn’t leaving.”A small pause.“I meant it.”He studied her face for a second, like he was checking for hesitation, for doubt.He didn’t find it.His hand reached for her, pulling her closer without effort, her body settling naturally against his.“You don’t have to prove it,” he said.“I’m not,” she replied softly. “I just… want

    The corridor felt like it had been vacuum-sealed.Ariana’s pulse thudded so violently in her ears she almost didn’t hear the subtle shift of footsteps behind her. Slow. Measured. Controlled.Tyler swallowed, his earlier charm evaporating like mist under a blade.“Excuse me?” Tyler said, attempting

    Madrid was brighter today.The mist from yesterday had burned away, leaving behind a sharp winter sun that bounced off the glass façade of Hospital del Sol. The building gleamed — polished, immaculate, untouchable. From the outside, it looked invincible.Inside, it felt like a courtroom.Ariana not

    The fluorescent lights of the hospital had a way of making everything feel unreal. The corridors stretched longer than they should, the silence between patients almost deafening. Ariana moved like a ghost, her hands shaking slightly as she pushed the cart of supplies down the hallway. Every creak o

    In Ariana's small apartment was a quiet atmosphere, the kind of quiet that made Ariana feel both safe and painfully aware of how loud her own thoughts could be. She dropped her bag by the door and tugged off her shoes, letting out a long, shaky breath. The day had been relentless: the fluorescent l
