IN THE MORNING

It was Monday.

Evander woke with his mind racing. Ari’s words from the restaurant the night before echoed relentlessly, along with the message he had received right after they left. Something about it felt wrong.

No… he can’t be. I refuse to believe that.

As he prepared for work and stepped into the bathroom, another thought unsettled him—his anonymous boss had requested to see him today.

Evander had never seen the man. Not once. He didn’t even know what he looked

    Cynthia consoled Ari gently, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “I’m so sorry you had to go through all of this,” she said softly. Ari looked at her, tears still glistening. “I… I didn’t mean to keep anything from you. Please forgive me.” Cynthia smiled faintly. “ It’s okay Ari, the important thing is that your babies have a dad and you know him. So from now on No more secrets, okay? Promise me that.” “I promise,” Ari whispered. After work in the evening, Cynthia insisted on driving Ari to her trailer. The place didn’t seem pleasing to her—small and modest—but Ari loved it.She told Ari to come leave with her instead but she refused. “I couldn’t leave,” Ari said. “This trailer… it’s peaceful. It’s just me and the kids. I love it here.” Cynthia sighed but respected her choice. “If you say so,” she murmured. They chatted for a while, Ari’s tension easing as she shared small details about her life. Just then, Alexander walked in, carrying more groceries and vitamins. He

    THE SAME MORNING Cynthia hurried down the sidewalk, adjusting her bag as she prepared for work. She was already running late when a familiar voice called out behind her. “Cynthia.” She turned. Evander stood a few feet away, keys in hand, his expression unreadable. “Evander?” she said, surprised. “I didn’t expect to see you here.” He forced a thin smile. “On my way to work.” Her eyes softened instinctively. “How’s Ari? I haven’t seen her in a while.” The question made something snap in him. “Ari?” he scoffed. “She’s no longer my concern.” Cynthia frowned. “What do you mean?” “We’re divorced and she’s now married,” Evander said flatly. Her steps faltered. “Divorced? Married? But she told me—” “She cheated,” he cut in sharply. “Got pregnant for another man.” Cynthia froze. “That’s not possible. Ari wouldn’t—” “Oh, she did,” Evander snapped, bitterness dripping from his voice. “And not just any man. A homeless hag she picked off the street. She was too desperate to have a c

    ⸻ IN THE MORNING It was Monday. Evander woke with his mind racing. Ari’s words from the restaurant the night before echoed relentlessly, along with the message he had received right after they left. Something about it felt wrong. No… he can’t be. I refuse to believe that. As he prepared for work and stepped into the bathroom, another thought unsettled him—his anonymous boss had requested to see him today. Evander had never seen the man. Not once. He didn’t even know what he looked like. The idea of meeting him made his chest tighten. After his bath, he headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Delaney was still asleep. They had gone clubbing the night before—Sunday—because she’d insisted, “The baby wants it.” His phone buzzed. From: A. Draven Subject: Meeting Update The meeting has been postponed until further notice. Relief flooded him. Evander exhaled a shaky laugh. “I knew it,” he muttered. “That homeless hag can’t be my boss.” But even as he smiled,

    OUTSIDE THE RESTAURANT The night air hit Ari hard as she stepped outside, her hand still locked around Alexander’s. Only when they were several steps away did she realize she was shaking. She stopped. Alexander turned to her. “Ari.” Slowly, she released his hand, staring at her palm as if she didn’t recognize it. “I… I’ve never done that before.” “Slapped someone?” he asked quietly. “Stood up like that,” she corrected. “I didn’t even think. I just—” She pressed a hand to her chest. “Something snapped.” Alexander studied her—really studied her—and what he saw unsettled him. This wasn’t desperation. This wasn’t manipulation. This was a woman pushed too far. “You shouldn’t have done that for me,” he said. She looked up sharply. “I didn’t do it for you.” He raised a brow. “I did it because I was tired,” she continued. “Tired of being insulted. Tired of being small. Tired of letting people think they can walk over me because I’m pregnant and alone.” “And they bo

    ⸻ INSIDE THE RESTAURANT “Ari,” Evander called again, his voice rising in disbelief. Delaney’s eyes followed his stare, then narrowed when she recognized Ari’s face. A slow, cruel smile curved her lips. “Well, well,” Delaney scoffed. “Look who it is—the ex-wife who cheated on her husband, and now she’s pregnant with a bastard child.” Ari stiffened but said nothing. Delaney laughed mockingly. “I see pregnancy didn’t fix your life. Still scrubbing floors, still alone, and now with a fatherless child.” Evander shook his head. “Honestly, Ari, this is embarrassing. You cheated on me and ended up scrubbing floors. You didn’t appreciate the roof I put over your head. You couldn’t even secure a rich man to get pregnant for.” Ari’s grip tightened around the mop handle. Slowly, she raised her head, her eyes burning. “A roof… you mean the one I work hard to pay for while you sleep around with anything that comes your way,” eyeing Delaney. “Watch your tongue,” Evander warned. Ari smile

    ⸻ AT DELANEY APARTMENT Delaney was shocked at Evander words. Evander asked again, “What don’t you want me to find out?” Delaney tried composing herself. “Oh, you are here. Why didn’t you tell me you are coming home early?” “Delaney…” Evander snapped. “Oh, about that,” Delaney lowered her voice, giving a sympathetic look. “Alright, fine… I was organizing a dinner for the both of us at a restaurant tomorrow. I wanted to surprise you for your being a good dad and an amazing man to me and your unborn child,” she said, holding her stomach. “Oh… I thought…” Evander tried to speak. “You thought what?” Delaney raised her brow. “Sorry, dear… I’m just stressed.” “Okay…” Delaney replied. “So now you know that I was planning on surprising you. You have ruined the plans.” Evander smiled, walked slowly to her at the counter. He walked up to her and held her waist. “I’m sorry, dear, but we can still go through with the plans. Tomorrow is weekend, so it’s a perfect time to spend time wi
