MasukARIELLA Asher shoves me down against the counter and I buck, but he pins me in place by my hair, so I have no choice but to hold on to the edge of the marble. “Here’s the thing, I’m not going to lie to protect your fragile emotions. I am Don, and Leon is our son and heir. You are my wife and the
ARIELLA A tear slipped down my cheek. And then another. Asher pulled me into him, holding me tight. And just like that, I broke. “I know you’re his father,” I said, my voice muffled against his chest. “And I have never felt jealous of you with him. In fact… seeing the two of you together gives m
ARIELLA Leon stiffened instantly, pulling away from me and going straight towards Sia. “No, don’t leave!” he said quickly, grabbing her hand. “I love you, Sia. Please don't leave, You’re going to be my tutor. Isn’t it right, Mommy?” I looked at him, then at her. Then back at him. “Of course it’s

I couldn’t hold the look. I glanced away, fast. A hush slowly settled over the room as the teacher stepped forward to welcome everyone. I sat still, hands folded tightly in my lap, heart thudding against my chest, not because of Dana, or Alan, or even Maria’s concerned glances from beside me. But b
