I didn’t realize how much I had been holding onto until that moment.

Until it broke.

Footsteps came from the stairs and Mirabel’s expression changed instantly. Her face softened. Her shoulders relaxed. By the time Dominic walked in, she looked completely different.

“Let’s go,” he said.

His eyes flicked to me.

Cold. As if I had done something wrong. He walked past me again.

Mirabel followed, then paused. She turned slightly and waved. A small, innocent gesture. But the smirk was still there.

    “He chose her.”The silence that followed felt heavier than before.Camille lowered her glass.“What did you do?”I laughed softly.“I signed the papers.”I shrugged.“What else was I supposed to do?”The memory flashed through my mind anyway. Every detail still lived somewhere inside me.“Then I spent five years rebuilding my life with the help of my brothers.I looked out toward the water.“I built my brand.”“Raised Leo.”“Focused on work.”“Moved on.”Or at least I tried to.Camille nodded slowly.“And now?”I closed my eyes briefly. And there it was, the actual problem.“Now he’s back.”A bitter laugh escaped me.“Of course he is.”Camille waited. Patient as always.“He came back apologizing.”I swirled the whiskey around my glass.“At first I ignored him. Then he forced himself into my life through a partnership contract.”That still annoyed me. Probably more than it should.“Now I keep seeing him.”I stared at the amber liquid.“Meetings.”“Events.”“Business trips.”“Conversat

    By the time we got home, my head was pounding.Not from the meeting exactly..It was Dominic.Just Dominic.I hated that.Hated that one conversation could follow me all the way home.Hated that his words kept replaying in my head whether I wanted them to or not.The cruelest punishment is knowing I might never get that version of you back.I slammed the car door a little harder than necessary.“Mummy?”I immediately forced a smile.“Sorry, baby.”I took Leo upstairs, helped him shower, changed his bandage, gave him his medication, and tucked him into bed.He was asleep within fifteen minutes.The injury had drained him more than he admitted.I stood beside the bed for a moment.Watching him.Making sure he was actually asleep.Then I quietly left the room.My own shower took longer.Hot water pounded against my shoulders while I stood beneath it, eyes closed.Trying not to think.Trying not to replay the look on Dominic’s face.Trying not to remember the way his voice cracked.Trying

    My grip tightened slightly around Leo’s hand.I should’ve kept walking.Honestly, I didn’t even know why I stopped in the first place.Every instinct I had was telling me to leave.To walk out of the room.Instead, I stood there.Looking at him.Looking at the man who somehow still had the ability to make my thoughts feel messy.“It depends,” I said finally. My voice came out calm. Far steadier than I felt. “On what you want.”For a second, Dominic didn’t answer.I watched him hesitate.Years ago, Dominic always seemed to know exactly what to say.Now he looked almost uncertain.As if he were choosing every word carefully.“Umm…”His hand moved through his hair.A nervous habit.“What did the doctor say about him?”His eyes shifted toward Leo who was rushing outside the room to show Mia his drawing.Dominic looked back at me. “When is the bandage coming off?”“The doctor said I should bring him for checkups.” I folded my arms. “The bandage will come off when he’s fully recovered.”Dom

    Leo dropped my hand and took off before I could stop him.“Leo—”Too late.He ignored me completely.Of course he did.Dominic looked surprised for half a second before immediately pushing his chair back and standing.By the time Leo reached him, Dominic was already waiting.“You’re also here for Mummy’s work?” Leo asked.Dominic’s expression softened.God.That look again.The one that made my stomach twist in ways I didn’t appreciate.He ran a hand gently through Leo’s hair.“Yeah.”Then he smiled.“I’m everywhere, right?”Leo nodded seriously.“Everywhere.”A few people around the table laughed.“You feeling better?” Dominic asked.Leo puffed out his chest. “Much better.”“Really?”“Yes.”Leo pointed proudly at himself. “I take my medicine always.”A smile pulled at Dominic’s mouth.“Good boy.”Something tightened in my chest.I immediately ignored it.One of the senior manufacturers glanced toward Leo before looking at me.“I wasn’t aware children were allowed to attend important

    The drive to the company felt much longer than usual.Maybe because I already knew what was waiting for me later.Or maybe because my mind refused to stop thinking about a meeting I had absolutely no reason to be nervous about.I looked out the window.The city blurred past.Beside me, Leo sat strapped into his seat, talking nonstop.“Mia, if Iron Man and Spider-Man fight together, they can beat everybody.”Mia humored him immediately.“Everybody?”“Yes.”“What about Superman?”Leo frowned.“That’s not fair.”I almost smiled.My attention drifted back to the schedule resting on my lap.The meeting.Dominic.My jaw tightened.Ridiculous.I had spent years building an empire.Negotiating contracts worth millions.Facing investors who wanted to tear me apart.Yet somehow one man’s name was enough to make my pulse feel strange.I closed the tablet.I wasn’t doing this today.The car finally rolled into the company parking area.The second we arrived, employees began greeting me.“Good mor

    After leaving Camille’s room yesterday, I ended up sleeping for hours.I hadn’t realized just how exhausted I was until my head touched the pillow.The next thing I knew, I was waking up in the dark.Then I checked the time.8:00 p.m.I had slept through almost the entire day.My body felt heavy, but at least the bone-deep exhaustion that had followed me for days wasn’t quite as suffocating anymore.I dragged myself out of bed, took a long evening shower, and forced myself to eat dinner.After that, I didn’t even bother trying to stay awake.I climbed right back into bed.And within minutes, sleep claimed me again.The next morning came far too quickly.I was already awake before my alarm went off.For a few seconds, I lay still beneath the blankets staring at the ceiling.My body felt rested.My mind didn’t.The past few days seemed to replay themselves the moment I opened my eyes.A soft knock came from the other side of my bedroom door.“Mummy?”A smile immediately touched my lips.
