Asher returned then, Eira bouncing in his arms, giggling as she told him about how one duck had tried to steal her snack last time.

“Uncle Dorian got mad,” she added with a grin.

Asher raised a brow. “Did he?”

“Yup. He yelled at the duck.”

Dorian laughed under his breath. “It hissed at her.”

Vera, unexpectedly, laughed too. And for a second, a single suspended moment, it almost felt like something normal.

Until Eira said the next thing.

“Can we do this every weekend? Me, Mommy, Uncle Dorian, and Daddy?”

The three adults froze.

Asher’s grip on her shifted.

Vera blinked, her smile slipping.

And Dorian looked up at the sky like he needed divine intervention.

“We’ll see, baby,” Vera said softly, brushing hair from Eira’s forehead.

But the little girl was already distracted again, wiggling out of Asher’s arms to chase a squirrel that had scurried past the playground.

The moment shattered.

The quiet returned.

And the three adults stood there, not quite a family, not quite strangers, and not

    The Donovan Suites offered every luxury imaginable, private terraces, imported marble, full length windows with a view of the skyline, but Asher stood alone on his narrow balcony, untouched by any of it.The night was cool, cleaner than he remembered, and painfully silent.He leaned both hands on the iron railing, sleeves rolled up, jaw tight, pulse thrumming beneath his skin. He hadn’t slept. He couldn’t.He hadn’t even taken off his shoes.Every time he closed his eyes, he saw her.Vera. Standing in the sunlight, holding their daughter’s hand like it was the only thing anchoring her to this world.He thought he’d been ready.He thought returning to the city, bringing himself closer, would give him time to plan, to fix, to act deliberately.But the second he found her gone, something unspooled inside him.She left.And now, it was like the world had shifted again. Like the axis of his gravity had tilted back toward her and refused to let him think about anything else.Behind him, the

    The doors hadn’t even fully closed behind Mr. Fontaine and Eira before Dorian leaned forward, his voice dropping to something quieter. Not softer, just more intense.“I know I’m being forward,” he said, his hands folded on the table like a diplomat mid negotiation. “But I can’t sit here, day after day, watching you spiral toward something I know will only end in more pain.”Vera stiffened. “Is that what you think I’m doing? Spiraling?”He exhaled, slow and deliberate. “You’re being pulled into his orbit again, and we both know what happened last time.”“I’m not a puppet,” she said tightly. “And I’m not seventeen.”“No, you’re not,” Dorian agreed. “You’re a mother now. Which is why I’m speaking up. For you. For Eira.”Vera blinked, trying to keep her expression composed. “You think I don’t already consider her in everything I do?”“I think you’re human. And humans have hearts. Hearts that sometimes get pulled toward the very things that hurt them most.”There it was.The warning dresse

    The chandelier above the dining room table shimmered like a sky full of low hanging stars. Dozens of crystal teardrops caught the candlelight, scattering it across the gleaming silverware and bone china plates.Vera sat at one end of the long table, her back straight, her dress simple. She hadn’t planned to change, but the subtle look from one of the maids earlier, an eyebrow arched just so, told her that casual wouldn’t cut it.So she’d slipped into a soft black sheath dress.Elegant. Guarded.Much like her.Eira sat beside her, perched on a velvet booster chair, legs swinging as she spooned up her soup with the determined focus of someone on a secret mission.On Vera’s other side, Dorian sat like a man made for settings like this, his suit charcoal, his shirt open at the collar just enough to seem effortless.Mrs. Fontaine presided at the head of the table, wine glass in hand, a small smile gracing her lips as she watched the exchange between Vera and her son unfold with quiet inter

    Dorian Fontaine had never liked him. They had fought in boardrooms long before either of them ever knew Vera Sterling existed.Now they had a new battlefield.And Vera was in the middle of it.The car rolled up the side street that led to the Donovan Suites. The building towered above them, discreet but unmistakably elite.Damien slowed to a stop at the private entrance.Asher sat still for a second, then exhaled slowly and opened the door himself. “Have my things sent here.”“All of them?” Damien asked.Asher nodded. “I’m staying here for a while.”“You want me to find out when she’s coming back?”“No.” The word came fast. Sharp. Then, softer: “Not yet.”Damien gave a tight nod. “Alright.”Asher moved through the lobby like he was made of smoke. He passed the concierge desk, ignoring the stunned looks from the staff who hadn’t seen him in years.The suite was waiting, clean, untouched, dimly lit.He walked in and shut the door behind him.Silence swallowed him whole.He dropped the s

    The sun had started its descent by the time Asher realized no one was coming home today.He’d been parked outside Vera’s building for hours.At first, he’d planned to wait an hour. Maybe two.But then came the excuses, maybe they were out shopping, maybe they were visiting a friend, maybe they went to a bookstore or a museum. With a daughter like Eira, Vera was probably out doing something magical with her.But by the fourth hour, even his optimism gave way to quiet resignation.They weren’t coming back.Not tonight.Maybe not tomorrow.Still, he didn’t leave.He sat in the driver’s seat now, his phone silent on his lap, the gift box resting unopened beside him.How many times had he rehearsed what he’d say?How many versions of I’m sorry were enough?I was blind. I was manipulated. I thought you used me, and I see now how cruel that was.None of it would undo the years she spent alone.But he had to try.His fingers twitched as he thought of Eira’s face when she called him “Daddy.” T

    The black Bentley coasted to a stop in front of Vera’s apartment just as the sun filtered through the trees, painting golden shadows on the sidewalk.Asher Donovan didn’t wait for the driver to open the door.He stepped out before the engine stopped humming, one hand already reaching into his coat pocket to retrieve the small gift box he’d brought with him.Inside was a delicate silver necklace, Eira’s birthstone at the center, flanked by two smaller gems.One for Vera.One for him.A symbol, not a bribe. Something that meant “we’re connected”, a soft offering, one that wouldn’t push, just remind.He looked up at the familiar building, the same one he had memorized from satellite photos when he first started searching for her. It was quiet. Almost too quiet.He checked his watch.4:18 PM.He hadn’t texted. He hadn’t called. He wanted this to be personal. Real.He just wanted to see them.Her.But most of all?Eira.He took the stairs instead of the elevator, two at a time, the familia
