Tempted by my Godlike boss CHAPTER 190: A familiar face
FLORIAN'S POVThe call came on an otherwise ordinary Tuesday afternoon, nearly four months after Elena's birth, while I sat quietly at the kitchen table reviewing some paperwork from the restaurant. The unfamiliar number flashed across my screen, though something about the area code made me hesitate before answering."Hello?""Mr. Hollis," a formal, unfamiliar voice said. "This is the state correctional facility calling regarding an inmate request."My stomach tightened instantly, dread settling heavily over me even before the caller finished speaking. "Which inmate?" I asked carefully, though I already suspected the answer."Adrian Hollis," the voice confirmed. "He's requested a visit. We're required to notify you of this request, though you're under no obligation to accept."I sat quietly for a long moment, the phone still pressed against my ear, disbelief and old, complicated emotion both crashing through me now. "I need time to think about it," I said finally."Of course," the voi
Tempted by my Godlike boss CHAPTER 189: Settling in
ROSELINE'S POVThe first few weeks home with Elena blurred together into something exhausting and beautiful all at once, our days and nights no longer following any kind of normal rhythm, measured instead in feedings, diaper changes, and the brief, precious stretches of sleep we managed to grab whenever Elena allowed it."I think this is the fourth diaper in the last two hours," Florian said one evening, his voice carrying the particular exhaustion only a new parent truly understands, though warmth remained steady beneath his tired tone."I believe it," I said, laughing softly despite my own exhaustion, watching as he carefully, methodically worked through the process we'd both gotten surprisingly skilled at over these past several weeks.We learned together, clumsily at first, swapping turns during the long, sleepless nights, Florian rocking Elena gently through her fussier moments while I caught whatever rest I could manage, then switching places when exhaustion finally caught up wi

FLORIAN'S POVWord spread quickly once Elena was properly settled, Roseline resting comfortably in her hospital bed, Elena wrapped snugly in a soft blanket against her chest. I'd barely finished sending the group text before my phone began buzzing steadily with responses, excitement evident clearly in every reply.Nina arrived first, bursting quietly but excitedly through the door despite the early hour, her eyes already glistening with unshed tears the moment she spotted Elena."Oh my god," she whispered softly, moving quickly toward the bed, careful not to disturb either of them too much. "Roseline, she's beautiful. She's absolutely beautiful.""Do you want to hold her?" Roseline asked softly, a tired, warm smile touching her exhausted face.Nina nodded quickly, settling carefully into the chair beside the bed as Roseline gently passed Elena into her waiting arms. "Hi there," Nina whispered softly, studying Elena's tiny face carefully, wonder evident clearly in her gentle voice. "We

FLORIAN'S POV"Okay, Roseline," the doctor said calmly, settling into position at the end of the bed, "on the next contraction, I want you to push."Roseline nodded weakly, her face pale, sweat beading along her hairline despite the cool air of the room. I stayed close beside her, one hand gripping hers tightly, my other hand brushing damp strands of hair carefully away from her face."You can do this," I said softly, my voice steady despite the fear and overwhelming love both pounding violently through my chest. "Roseline, you're so strong. You've got this."The next contraction built quickly, sharply, and Roseline's grip tightened almost painfully around my hand as she bore down, a sharp cry tearing from her throat as she pushed with everything she had."That's it," the doctor said encouragingly. "Perfect, Roseline. Just like that."She fell back against the pillows briefly as the contraction eased, her breathing ragged, exhausted already despite having only just begun this final st
Tempted by my Godlike boss CHAPTER 186: Racing to the hospital
FLORIAN'S POV"Call Gabriel," Roseline gasped, her hand gripping mine so tightly now I could feel my own pulse pounding beneath her fingers. "Florian, call him. Tell the hospital we're coming."I fumbled for my phone one-handed, keeping my other hand steady on the wheel, dialing Gabriel's number through the car's speaker system. He picked up on the second ring, his voice immediately alert despite the early hour."Florian?""Gabriel, it's happening," I said quickly, my voice tight with barely controlled panic. "Roseline's in labor, the contractions are coming fast, way faster than they're supposed to this early. We're maybe ten minutes out from the hospital.""Okay," Gabriel said, his voice shifting instantly into something calm, focused, exactly the steady presence I desperately needed right now. "I'm calling the hospital directly, making sure they've got a room ready the second you pull up. What's her timing like right now?""Two minutes," Roseline said, her voice strained, breathles
Tempted by my Godlike boss CHAPTER 185: Labor begins
ROSELINE'S POVI woke suddenly at just past four in the morning, a sharp, undeniable tightness gripping low across my stomach, nothing at all like the uncertain, fleeting sensation from weeks earlier. This felt different immediately, deeper, more insistent, pulling a soft gasp from me before I'd even fully opened my eyes."Florian," I said, my voice tight as the sensation slowly began to ease.He stirred immediately beside me, instantly alert despite the early hour. "What's wrong?" he asked, already sitting up."I think," I said carefully, breathing slowly through the last traces of the contraction, "I think this is actually it."He studied me carefully, searching my face for any sign this might be another false alarm. "Are you sure?" he asked gently, though I could see the careful hope and fear both building steadily behind his tired eyes."I'm sure," I said, and even as I spoke the words, another contraction began building low across my stomach, sharper this time, stealing the breat
