CallieCass was discharged by 01:45 in the afternoon.The paediatrician, whom I now knew as Dr. Gale, had been very kind to us throughout his stay at the pediatric ward. I was at his office with Cass, going over a few details and doctor's instructions before we finally checked out. “Now that he’s stable and we’ve got the medication sorted, his symptoms should progress significantly. Over time, we would need to put a follow-up plan in place,” he turned to Cass. “You’ll need to be vigilant, kiddo. Rest, hydration. Fewer stressors, if you can help it.”That sounded a lot. He was a four-year-old kid always getting into some shenanigans. The only way he’d be less active was if he felt physically tired. I might have to sit him down and explain this all over again in simpler, non-doctor terms to him. Cass sat quietly beside me, his little backpack clutched in his lap. He didn’t say much —just nodded when prompted and smiled when the nurse gave him a sticker.He was still in the clothes he

DamienVersailles was fine, not that I’d expected it to be anything less —a charming city, hotels with impeccable service, and Ava bouncing through every gallery like a pint-sized tour guide. She loved it. And I loved that she loved it. Unfortunately, it was just a short day trip.I couldn’t shake the weight in my chest when we returned. There was something about the silence of being back, it was the kind of quiet that made your thoughts louder.I had just stepped into the office, coffee in hand, when Anderson walked in unannounced. Sharp as ever, legal folder tucked under his arm.“We’ve got to get your signature on this,” he said, dropping the folder on my desk. “Court proceedings are moving forward. The other party couldn’t attend the final negotiation round.”I frowned. I thought this had been handled and was over with already. “Why couldn't they attend?” Anderson adjusted his glasses. “Medical emergency, as their counsel informed us.”That stopped me cold.“Medical emergency?”

Callie What have I done? I stared down at the phone in my hand. It felt like I was holding something hot. "How did it go?" Clara asked, appearing from the corner. I couldn't explain what had just happened, but somehow I felt it was all my fault. I didn't know when I felt my back against the wall and started to sink to my knees. "Oh no, no, what happened?" Clara said, rushing to me. I couldn't find the words to reply to her. I felt like I was on the verge of breaking, and if I opened my mouth to speak, I would break into heavy sobs. Burying my head in my hands, I let out a deep sigh. Why did I have such bad luck? What was wrong with me? Everything in my life was going to shit. My son was sick with a condition that sounded untreatable and expensive to manage. My son's father was pledging to wage war against me and wouldn't even hear me out. Maybe I'd made a mistake moving back here, Maybe I should've sold the damn bakery? What was all of this for if I didn't get to enjoy it with

Damien I'd barely spent an hour in quiet solitude when my phone rang.I would've ignored it, but it wasn't the work line — my personal one. Whoever was calling must've had something really important that they couldn't wait to deliver.Without thinking much of it, I answered. "Damien?"My mouth opened to speak, but no words came out. I knew that voice. Why was she calling me? And now?I looked at the screen on my phone. The number wasn’t saved— of course it wasn’t. But I didn’t need to see a name to know. It was definitely her. I put it on speaker phone just to hear it clearly. To be sure the glasses of whiskey I had weren't making me imagine things. "Are you there?” she asked again. No doubt, it was Callie.My mind quickly went over the reasons she would call. She had probably changed her mind about the deal. Decided to sell while her profit was still high, maybe her husband had talked some sense into her. I smiled lightly, revelling in this small victory. She was here to beg. A

Callie I'd never felt dread like this in my entire life. Everything hurt. My breathing, my thinking. It was like the world had come to a standstill, and all that remained was pain. Heartstopping, gut-wrenching pain. It wasn't anything physical. It was a mental war in my head. How could it have come to this? Was I not a good mom? How could I have missed any signs? He's been healthy all his life, like a normal boy his age. What could suddenly go wrong? And if it wasn't something internal, then had someone done this to him? My heart could hardly bear it, hearing that my little boy had just collapsed in the middle of the park and an ambulance had to carry him to the hospital. "Can we get there any faster?" Clara was already driving well over the speed limit. But I couldn't get my nerves to still themselves. I needed to see Cass. I needed to make sure he was okay. "Tell me what happened again," “When we get there, you’ll talk to the doctors,” Clara said, her voice firm but

Damien The morning hadn't been going so well. The contractors sent a messenger informing us we were running out of time to make this deal work. It was basically a threat. And I didn't do well with being threatened."Sir, the meeting is about to begin." I was lost in thought when my secretary walked in to announce.Callie and her troupe were here. Fuck. They were the ones making this deal difficult for me. What the fuck was so special about their fucking bakery? She could take the money and buy one somewhere else if she cared so much about passion. What did she want, really? I bet she just wanted to make this difficult for me. Just out of spite, or for attention. Right. That could be it. She was probably enjoying the attention that all of this was getting her. Well, not from me, though. That party was about to end. I used to think I knew her, but it turns out I didn't. You would see the signs if someone was about to ghost you for all eternity, after all. Thinking back on that time a

Callie I was back in this cold, lifeless conference room, but this time it was with Clara and Nadia by my side. We were the last holdouts— the only business unwilling to sell or agree to any of their terms. So, here we were, just us, against a legal team of five. All men. Typical. They were sharp-suited, barely looked at us when we entered, and had probably been rehearsing their strategies since dawn. The lead among them—Anderson, I think his name was— offered a tight smile that didn’t reach his eyes. There were five of them, but one last seat was reserved for someone who should have been here—someone we’d been waiting for for the past fifteen minutes. The silence of the room was only more accentuated by the sounds of paper and files rustling in the air. Soon enough, a younger-looking executive walked in. He whispered something directly to Anderson's ear and then left immediately. Anderson cleared his throat noisily, appearing to be a little bit more relaxed. “Let's begin

Callie It was before opening hours the next day. Clara and I were elbow-deep in pastry prep, alternating between working in the kitchen and looking through the stack of applications we'd gotten for the waiter position. I hadn't told her what had happened the night before. I was waiting for the right time, which—judging by the lull in our conversation— I was guessing was now. I blurted it out. “Damien came here during closing hours yesterday.” Clara didn't even flinch. “You know by now I would've thought you'd know how easily I can read you.” “Right,” I muttered. It was true. She was oddly talented at guessing what I was thinking. And she’d proven it time and time again. “I could tell that someone had been in here when I got back; their musk still lingered in the air. It smelled luxurious.” “Oh, please. Whose side are you on again?” I rolled my eyes at her playfully. “Uh… yours, of course…” she paused. “Before we get back to that, look at this.” She showed me the

Damien I should've turned back the moment I saw the closed sign on the door, but my curiosity got the best of me. Sweet Haven. Its glowing neon sign was still on. I'd been here before. Once or twice and I'd never seen that damn signboard emit so much as a flicker, she had probably fixed it. The inside was dimly lit, but I could tell someone was still in. I wasn't even entirely sure why I was there in the first place, but I knew I had to see it. I had to see what was causing all this fuss. I walked in. "You know I'm starting to feel like we can really kick their butts in this legal war..." It was Callie speaking. She sounded stressed but at the same time satisfied. She was the only person I knew who could pull off that kind of combination. This would've been a good time for me to check out. Leave and never turn back, but I couldn't help myself from saying what I said next. "Oh really?" It was amusing, her thinking that she could beat our asses with her cheap law
