ELENA

The champagne cork pops and Rachel cheers so loud half the floor looks over.

“To Elena!” she yells, glass in the air. “Proof that the craziest ideas sometimes win!”

Everyone joins her. Even Marcus lifts his glass, though he looks like the champagne might be poison.

I smile. Say thank you. Act normal. Try not to notice Damien watching me from across the room, that look that makes my skin feel hot and too tight.

Two weeks. We agreed on two weeks of distance.

We can survive two weeks.

    ElenaThree nights.That's how long it takes me to make the decision.On the first night, I barely sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I picture cameras flashing in my children's faces. I imagine strangers shouting questions at Lucas and Luna, turning them into headlines instead of little kids who deserve a normal life. I see our family picked apart by people who don't know us.By morning, I've convinced myself the interview is a mistake.The second night is even worse.I spend hours reading stories about public families who tried to clear their names through interviews. Some succeeded. Many didn't. Private pain became entertainment. Children paid the price for decisions their parents made. By the time I close my laptop, I'm exhausted, but my mind refuses to rest.Maybe silence is safer.Maybe the world doesn't deserve our truth.On the third night, just after two in the morning, I hear my bedroom door open."Mommy?"I sit up immediately.Luna stands in the doorway, clutching her stuff

    Elena "This can't keep happening," I say."It won't. I've hired a security team. They'll monitor for paparazzi, keep them at a distance—""I don't want to live with security! I want to live normally!""Normal ended when they found out about the twins. Elena, I'm sorry, but this is our reality now. Either we adapt or we hide. Those are the options.""I choose hide.""That's not fair to Lucas and Luna. They shouldn't have to hide because their father is public.""They shouldn't have to be public because their father is selfish!""Selfish? I'm trying to be part of their lives!""On your terms! In your world! Without considering what it costs us!""What do you want from me?" His voice rises. "You want me to be their father but stay invisible? Be involved but not too involved? I can't win!""You could try considering what we need instead of what you want!""I am! That's why I'm here! That's why I hired security! That's why—""Why you brought your entire team to my grandmother's house with

    Elena The reporters don’t leave.By Wednesday, they are still there. Three vans parked like they own the street. Cameras lifted every time the gate moves. Microphones waiting for words we never agreed to give.“Blackwood’s secret family,” they call us.The twins stop going outside.They stop asking.Inside the house feels smaller each day, like the walls are quietly learning our fear.Luna presses her face against the curtain. “Why are those people here?”“Because they’re nosy,” I say. “And they don’t know when to stop.”“Are we famous?” she asks, too softly.“No, baby. Your father is. We’re just… caught in it.”Lucas doesn’t look away from his tablet. His fingers move fast, scrolling.I already know what he’s reading before he speaks.“Mommy,” he says, voice flat. “It says you’re a ‘small-town marketing consultant who allegedly trapped billionaire Damien Blackwood with a pregnancy.’”My stomach tightens. “Lucas, stop reading that.”“What does allegedly mean?”“It means they’re accus

    Elena Damien constantly extending the twins’ stay, the emotional strain on Elena, and the first visible cracks in co-parenting.Sunday comes and goes. The twins don't come home."Just one more day," Damien says on the phone Sunday night. "There's a theater production. Children's Shakespeare. Lucas wants to analyze the dramatic structure. Luna wants to study the costumes. I already bought tickets.""You said Sunday night.""I know. I'm sorry. But Elena, they're having the time of their lives. Can we do Monday evening instead? I'll have them back by bedtime. I promise."Elena closes her eyes.Outside, the evening wind moves softly through Grandmother Rosa's garden. Somewhere nearby, dogs bark at passing bicycles.

    Elena"He's trying," Andre observes as I help Grandmother Rosa into the house."I know.""You're allowed to be upset about it.""I'm not upset.""Elena, you've been crying for the last twenty minutes."I touch my face. Wet again. I've been crying and didn't even notice."I just—I worked so hard to give them a good life. To make up for not having a father. And now he shows up and in two weeks they love him.""They love you too.""But for how long? Before they realize his life is more exciting? More expensive? More everything?"Andre pulls the car over. Turns to face me fully. "Listen to me. You are irreplaceable. You're their mother. The woman who's been there for everything. No amount of museums or ice cream or fancy apartments changes that.""You don't know that.""I do. Because I've seen you with them. I've watched you build a life that's rich in everything that matters. Love. Stability. Community. That's not something Damien can buy.""But he can offer them opportunities I can't. B

    Elena The meeting ends the way most of them do lately—abrupt and unsatisfying.“You have until tomorrow,” she says, fingers already closing around her laptop. “Maybe Wednesday if you’re lucky. After that, all bets are off.”The laptop snaps shut. Final. Loud in the small room.“I’m sorry,” she add
