I undid two of my buttons, grabbed my phone, took a selfie of my chest, and sent the picture. He hearted it within seconds.

"Neat scotch. Just like you like it," Mom said, handing me the glass before sitting across from me on the sofa.

"Thanks, Mom." I quickly fixed my buttons and sat upright.

"You're welcome. Now, it's still ten in the morning. Weren't you supposed to be at your store?"

"That's Clara's job."

"She's your assistant. You're the store owner."

"Not for long. I'm tired of pretending. In fact, I'm divorcing Rodrigo."

"What?" Her voice sharpened. "You know we can't get that bitch to come hold your spot for you. You can't do that now."

"Don't panic. I'll make sure we come out of it with a good reputation." I waved it off like it was nothing. "All I have to do is find a good lawyer and, I don't know, fake a pregnancy or something. It'll all play out."

"Aaliyah, you do know Rodrigo is one of the Roberts, right?"

"I know and God, I hate those people. I don’t even k

    Okay, I should probably convince Miles to raise Russell’s salary—but not now. Right now, I had a son to advise. Without responding to Valentina’s message—because I knew that would only make her more anxious—I shoved my phone into my pocket and walked up to Anthony.“Anthony.”“I fucked up, Dad, I—”“You didn’t fuck up.”“What?”“As long as she’s still here, you didn’t fuck up. Next time you see her, tell her exactly how you feel and see what happens.”“Dad, I can’t do that. You know my friends... I can't. I’ll apologize, but I’m not going out with her. She’s not in my league.”“Well…” I sighed. “I guess I’m not good at this dad stuff.” I gave up.“You’re terrible,” he muttered, but smiled. “Still… thanks. It feels good talking about it to someone.” He clapped me on the back before walking out.I exhaled and reached for my phone, rereading Valentina’s message.She really asked to meet for dinner. I mean, sure, I expected that—but part of me thought she’d try to be stubborn just to prov

    R O D R I G O“Scotch?” I asked my son, who was perched on my office window like he didn’t have anywhere better to be. He shook his head, so I set the glass down on the desk beside him. “Well, in case you change your mind.”I walked back to my seat, loosening my tie as I took a sip from my own drink.“So…” I cleared my throat, “What do you want to talk about?”“Uh… music?” Anthony looked nervous. That was rare. He was usually confident—cocky even.“Oh. Alright then.” I finished off my drink and gave him my full attention. “Music?”“Yes, Dad. I want to show my song to a record label.”“Well, that’s a big step. Want me to make a few calls?”“Not again, we've talked about this.” He groaned, already annoyed.“And I say there’s nothing wrong with your dad making a few calls in your favor.”“No. I don’t want any favors. I want to do this because I’m good at it—not because my dad’s a billionaire or something.”That’s Anthony for you. He’s always tried to hide from the Robert name. Doesn’t ev

    I honestly wasn’t believing my ears right now. I knew Christian had always been protective, and according to him, I shouldn’t bother looking for my mother because she didn’t bother looking for me. But this was my decision, and I needed him to respect that.I was with Parker, and she was already watching me since I’d exclaimed.I didn’t want to confront Christian in front of Parker—she might pick up some bad words or sense the tension, and I was really pissed at Christian, especially for causing me to leave that PI all alone in such a disgusting environment.So, I did what felt best at the moment—I cut the call without warning.“Mommy, did you just end the call in Uncle Christian’s ear?” Okay, how the hell did this girl know?“Yes, baby.” I couldn’t lie to her.“But isn’t that rude?” Again with these big questions! I swear, if Parker was someone else’s daughter, I’d be wondering what was going on, but she was my daughter—of course

    There was no Christian. Presley wanted to continue seeing me. She wanted to sleep with me. Of course, she created such a narrative. She thinks I'm stupid.I chuckled to myself as Presley looked at me, probably thinking I believed her."So?" she asked as I turned to her."You know, being a lawyer, you have to learn to read people," I said, and she nodded."And so is being a PI. Now I am going to work on your friend and see why he's doing this.""No, you're not," I said, putting on my seatbelt."What?""Get out of my car.""I don't understand.""Listen." I turned and faced her. "I know Atlanta is full of straight women, but being this desperate will just jeopardize your career.""Okay…?" She laughed. "What's happening?""I know you want to keep seeing me, so you built this lie to get an excuse.""Ms. Sterling, I know you're pretty, and I won't lie, I would love to taste those lips, but my work comes first. I'm not lying to you. This woman—""Was my mother, and she's dead.""They used yo

    At this point, I wasn’t even sure how I was still breathing. My heart had stopped beating a while ago.My mother.How could she just die on the very same day I came to find her? What kind of cruel joke was God playing on me? Why now?I could hear Presley and the lobby man still talking, but none of it made sense. The words were English, but they weren’t registering. My ears were blocked like I was underwater.First, I was born the wrong gender—my father wanted a boy. And I turned out to be a girl. That was the beginning of my curse.I never knew what a mother’s love felt like, and that scar still follows me. Sometimes, I wonder if I’m even a good parent to Parker... all because I never had a parent myself.My dad only ever gave me money. The only thing I learned from him was survival. How to please Aaliyah and his wife—or else I’d be cut loose. That was the training. That was my childhood.If it hadn’t been for the brilliant mother-authors who wrote parenting books, I don’t know how I

    I took a moment to take everything in before telling Presley I was ready. I didn't want to waste a second. Sure, I was scared and didn’t know what I’d say to her… but I believed everything would fall into place when I saw her. Right now, I just needed that motherly hug—the one I never got.“I arranged this meetup. I insist I pay,” I said, pushing Presley's money back.“I thought so too, but you're so gorgeous, and I've never been on a date with such a pretty lady. So allow me.” She pushed her money back, and I sighed, then called for a waitress. As soon as she got there, I quickly handed her the money from my purse, payment, and a fair tip.“Damn, and you're smart too,” she muttered, watching how fast I worked.“If you're a lawyer, you'd understand,” I said as I stood up. She stood too, and then her phone rang. She told me she’d take the call outside. I asked for a bottle of water and told her to go ahead—I’d meet her out front.Presley left, and I sat back down, my knees too weak to
