I had to cut out the rot before it spread through my entire bakery, poisoning everything I'd built. I'd come in early, before dawn, to prepare. I'd reviewed the documentation one more time—the time cards that didn't match the security footage, the till discrepancies that added up to nearly two thousand pounds over three months, the complaints from other staff members about her attitude. I'd consulted with my lawyer (not Marc, but a colleague of his who specialized in employment law) to ensure everything was airtight. I had the list in front of me, printed on crisp white paper, each infraction documented with dates and times: time theft, discrepancies in the till, insubordination, creating a hostile work environment, and the final, unforgivable line—gross misconduct for discussing confidential client information and her own sordid personal exploits in a public area of the ba
Hugo The next morning, I felt marginally better. Luca's lecture and Michael's unconditional love had grounded me. My son had crawled into bed with me at dawn, his small body warm and solid against mine, and whispered, "Daddy, you smell sad." Kids. They saw everything. "Daddy made a mistake with a friend," I'd told him, smoothing his wild morning hair. " I'm going to fix it." "Is it RiRi?" he'd asked, those big eyes so much like mine looking up at me with concern. "Yeah, buddy. It's RiRi." "You should say sorry and bring cookies. That's what you tell me to do." So here I was, mid-morning, headed to Erica's house with my crutches awkward under my arms and a peace offering in a paper bag—pastries from Flour & Co., the only bakery in the city that could possibly compete with The Sweet Spot. It was the thought that counted, right? I needed to see her, to apologize properly. To explain that my jealousy had gotten the better of me, that I'd been an ass, that her happiness mattered mo
Erica The hot chocolate did nothing to warm the cold knot in my stomach. I was curled on my sofa, the daisy print of my onesie feeling absurdly cheerful against my bleak mood. The voicemails piled up: two from Luca checking if I was coming to dinner, one from a worried-sounding Blane, and three from Marc, each more strained than the last. I'd listened to the first one. Just the sound of his voice, deep, careful tone he used when he was trying not to fall apart it had made my chest ache so badly I'd nearly thrown my phone across the room. I didn't listen to the other two. I couldn't. Not yet. The afternoon light was fading through my curtains, casting long shadows across the hardwood floor. I'd called in sick to the bakery for the first time in three years. Blane had sounded appropriately concerned, though I suspected he knew exactly why I wasn't coming in. Everyone seemed to know everything except me. That was what hurt most. Not even the image of Kiki draped over Marc like e
Chapter 25 Hugo I really feel bad for what I did I wish I could take back what I said I wish I could take back what I did and I wish I wouldn't have post-traumatic stress from the accident that happened but truth be told I do have post-traumatic stress and I do need help with regards to getting my mental status wrecked I cannot believe that I snapped at the wrong person. I can't explain it one minute I was fine I was doing ok then next minute I just refuse last thing I wanted to do was hurt the one person that has been more supportive through both hard times and challenging times emotionally with regards to my son if it wasn't for Erica I wouldn't have formed an unbreakable Bond with my son . Blane metro that I was seated properly and everything I needed was taken care of but the restaurant was closed for the rest of the evening which meant that we were all going to have a lovely time with one person missing and she was the one person that we all wanted to come to dinner but it loo
