Antonio tried to hide the smile on his face. Camila just made this a lot easier, breaking the suffocating tension. This was what he liked her: she was perceptive and smart. Clearly, she wanted to get him out of this uncomfortable situation.

Antonio stood up, giving Ernesto a sharp side glance. Ernesto's smile was gone; his eyes were narrowed as Antonio guided Camila out of the room.

Once outside, they both got into the car, and the doors slammed shut, instantly trapping them in a heavy silence.

"So, want me to ask first before you tell me?" Camila finally broke the quiet.

Antonio started fastening his seat belt as he muttered, "Thanks for understanding."

Camila just shrugged. "No prob. You owe me an explanation, though."

"I'm sorry he ruined our plans for tonight. I'll make it up to you, any way you want it," Antonio said, starting the engine and changing the subject, but his intentions didn't get past Camila.

"You're ignoring the question."

Antonio gripped the steering wheel. "Look,

    "Come on!" Camila groaned, jabbing Antonio's contact on her phone screen. She tapped the call button, pressed the phone to her ear, her feet tapping on the ground. "Come on, pick up, pick up."Madison was right beside her, leaning on the car as Camila paced back and forth with her phone, calling Antonio for the umpteenth time in the last few minutes—well, forty minutes can't be labeled "few" anymore; it's getting to an hour.Camila stopped pacing, ran a finger through her hair, not roughly but gently enough not to ruin her carefully styled curls, letting out a shaky breath. "He's not picking up, Mads. What if something's wrong?"Her voice was barely a whisper as she lowered the phone, staring at the screen as if Antonio's face might magically appear.Madison pushed off the car, her expression softening. "Don't jump to conclusions, Cam. Maybe it's car problems or his phone's dead." She moved closer, putting a comforting hand on Camila's arm. "Let's give him a few more minutes. If he do

    Four months. Just four months, and Camila's life had totally flipped. In a good way.Camila took a shaky breath. The car smelled like a flower shop had thrown up inside, all white roses and nervous pre-wedding sweat. Yesterday, they'd done the court thing already. Today was the big church wedding deal. Court papers were already enough, but Antonio insisted on making it big.And the dress? A huge white ball gown, 'cause he wanted her to have the "honor" of walking down the aisle. The baby bump was already practically showing, even at four months. Her "wild card" was definitely not subtle.Moving in with Antonio had been a battle he'd won, mostly. He'd sweet-talked her with promises of taking care of her, telling her to just chill and skip work. But nah, she'd dug her heels in and kept going to the office. They'd finally agreed she'd take maternity leave around four or five months. Given how fast this belly was growing, that was coming up quick. Or had even arrived, probably. After the

    Camila nodded slowly, like she was trying to get through to a kid."Yeah, Daddy Antonio, we're gonna be parents. And honestly, it scares the hell out of me." She pulled back a bit to look him in the eyes, surprisingly calm now. "I know, I'm twenty-eight, kinda past the 'ideal' age for a first baby some people say, but this? I wasn't ready, totally like you said. Neither of us were."She paused, then a brighter, almost giddy spark lit up her eyes. "At the same time... There's this weird tingle, like I'm stoked."Antonio's hands were still on her shoulders, his thumbs barely stroking her top. Her words, especially that last bit, seemed to click something into place for him."Stoked?" he mumbled, trying the word out. He looked from her eyes to the small space between them, really trying to picture what "parents" meant.This wasn't just some vague idea anymore. This was them. This was freaking real. It's happening so fast."Yeah, stoked," Camila confirmed, her voice getting stronger, all

    The villa was… big. And quiet. Too quiet, sometimes, especially after the constant hum of Ernesto’s house or the controlled chaos of his own old place he practically grew up in.Three weeks. It had been three weeks since he’d practically cut ties with Ernesto. Three weeks since he’d slammed the door in his face. Deleted his contact, everything. Call it dramatic or even foolish, too much, but he called it necessary. He'd needed the space to clear his head, to feel something other than the suffocating weight of Ernesto's presence. At least let it go back to the days when Ernesto was rotting in prison. His absence had been a blessing then.Alberto was loving it, surprisingly. The sprawling garden was a wonderland, and the pool was a constant source of splashy delight. Abuelo, after an initial period of dramatic pronouncements about being a refugee, had found a comfortable armchair and a stack of old novels, content to be waited on by the staff Antonio had hastily brought in.Antonio, on

    Ernesto leaned back in his chair, went silent for about a minute, sighing, his eyes focused on some point beyond the room, twisting his lips as if fighting to keep his cool. His fingers drummed on the dining table.And Antonio, on the other hand, was very patient.Finally, Ernesto looked his way. "So you don't mind me introducing her to the family?"Antonio grimaced. "No, I was being sarcastic.""Oh." Ernesto mouthed. "Makes sense.""Ernesto!" Antonio snapped, but Ernesto spat back, his voice rising, his fist connecting with the table."What do you want from me, Antonio? To apologize? I got you another step-sibling. Sorry, you're not getting that from me. And how the hell did you find out about Diane?""Can someone please make me understand? Who's Diane? I've heard 'family' like twice now... because last I checked, my family tree had a few less branches and a lot less baggage." Abuelo cut in, his gaze still darting between the two. Waiting, but it seemed neither of them was in a hur

    Camila's protests died on her lips as Antonio's hands found their mark, his fingers expertly finding the places that made her shiver and made her forget all about alarms and meetings. Her "no, no, no" dissolved into a breathless moan as he leaned in against her neck. The fight simply evaporated.It was always like this with Antonio – his mischief, his touch, the way he just knew what would make her melt. One minute she was all professional resolve; the next, she was a happy tangle of limbs again, just like earlier, lost in the rhythm of his body against hers, the scent of him, the intoxicating heat."One more round" had turned into several.The alarm clock was silent now, probably having screamed itself hoarse and given up. Camila lay tangled in the sheets, Antonio's arm heavy around her waist, his head still nestled comfortably against her breast. A soft, satisfied sigh escaped her. She stretched a bit, feeling the ache in her muscles.She glanced at the clock on his bedside table: 7
