"You've got to be kidding me," Camila muttered. Her eyes darted between Antonio, the strange documents, and the name on the adoption papers. Cole? Adoptive parents: Mr. and Mrs. Lopez? This was beyond weird, beyond anything she could have imagined. Her mind raced, trying to connect the dots. Cole adopted?

“Camila,” Antonio said softly, his voice cutting through her spiraling thoughts. He pointed at another document, another birth certificate. Her eyes followed his finger, and there, in bold letters, was “Baby Camila.”

“I think the both of you were adopted,” he said.

“I can see that,” she spat, without even realizing it. Then she shoved the papers to Antonio's chest and slumped onto the couch, running a hand through her hair. She just sat there in silence.

Antonio sat right beside her. “You alright?” he asked gently.

“Do I look alright? We've been adopted! Meaning, we've been lied to all these years! Julie didn't even…" She trailed off, taking a giant breath that smelled like anger.

    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

  • I Am Dead To You Husband    Chapter 100

    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

    Camila was a happy tangle of limbs with Antonio in bed, lost in that post-sex haze. His soft breathing filled the quiet space, his head resting right in her cleavage, his cheek against her skin. He always did this after each round, using her breast as a pillow. It was weird but cute. Now, staring at his sleepy face, she couldn't ignore how adorable he looked sleeping like a baby with no care in the world.She brushed his hair back, real slow at first, but then just ended up stroking his head.How could someone be so greedy? Like, totally lost in the moment, completely forgetting about the mountain of reports, calls, and work waiting sharp at 8 AM? She wiggled a bit, snuggling closer, feeling his hip tucked against hers. It's not like she didn't have fun. Every touch, every kiss, every breathless second was awesome. But as the early morning hours just kept slipping away, her brain, always the practical one, started adding up the cost. Not money-wise, but in lost sleep and the total scr

    Jose and Julie just kept at it, sharp words flying back and forth. Jose's jaw was clenched, spitting out every syllable like it was a tiny, painful jab. Julie, though, was really losing it, her voice getting higher and higher. She even lunged a bit, not exactly at him, but as if the pure force of her anger could somehow make him take back what he'd said.Then, clatter!Diane's crutches hit the floor. Both Jose and Julie froze, heads snapping over to the sound. Diane didn't say a word. She hopped a few shaky steps, picked up the crutches, steadied herself, found her balance, and then, with this weird, quiet determination, she started to drag herself away from the couch. She moved right between both of them.Their eyes, totally fixed, followed her. She didn't even look at them, didn't make a sound. Her gaze was just straight ahead, like she was looking at something way past the messy living room as she headed for her bedroom."Diane—""Nope, don't even explain." Diane snapped, cutting J
