It was hard not to hug Anthony back. My heart pounded and my hands wanted to hold him tight.I had spent years raising him as my son, and that motherly love did not just disappear. But the things he had done to me, the lies, pushing me down the stairs, telling me he didn’t want me—it all hurt too much. He was only twelve then, but he was still old enough.He didn’t pull away for a long time, so I did. I stepped back.“Mom, I… I’m so glad you came back. I—”“Excuse me?” I changed my voice. He looked confused. “Hello, I’m Valentina. I believe you’re too old to be lost, right?” I kept my face blank and he just stared at me as if trying to recognize something.He was so big now, seventeen, almost eighteen. He looked like Rodrigo years ago, but now that he was grown, his features were clear and undeniable. He was Rodrigo’s son. He even resembled Parker, which proved Rodrigo’s genes were strong.“It’s me, Anthony

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

Have you ever had a gun pointed right in the middle of your forehead? God, if you don't have guts, you might actually pee yourself.Now, I’ve been in dangerous situations before—divorce settlements can get messy like that. I’ve had guns pulled on me, screamed at, nearly run over. So yes, danger wasn’t exactly new. But this? This was a different kind.“You better not move, lady,” the man warned.He was wearing a mask, voice muffled and shaky. I froze—not because I was scared for myself, but because I thought of my daughter. She only had me. I still had to bring another child into this world before I could die. So yeah, not today.I slowly raised my hands, trying to show I wasn’t a threat. That’s when he frowned and asked, “What are you doing?”Okay… clearly, this guy didn’t know what he was doing. His voice cracked, the gun wobbled, and I noticed something—his finger wasn’t even on the trigger. He was trembling. A total amateur.Still, I played it cool. He had a gun, real or not.Then
