Tempted by my Godlike boss CHAPTER 187: Bringing her into the world
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
Tempted by my Godlike boss CHAPTER 184: Final preparations
FLORIAN'S POVI still checked the locks every night before bed, a habit I'd developed months earlier that I hadn't quite managed to let go of completely, even now, weeks after Reyes had confirmed Webb's network was effectively dismantled. It wasn't the same sharp, constant fear that had gripped me before, the careful watchfulness of someone bracing for immediate danger. It had softened into something quieter now, more like a gentle, lingering habit than active fear."You're doing it again," Roseline said softly one evening, watching from the doorway as I checked the back door for the second time that night."Doing what?" I asked, though I already knew."The security sweep," she said gently, a small, understanding smile touching her lips. "Florian, I've noticed. Every night, you check the doors, glance out the windows, make sure the cameras are running properly."I paused, slightly caught, though I didn't feel the need to deny it. "I guess I have," I admitted quietly."It's okay," she
Tempted by my Godlike boss CHAPTER 183: The baby shower
ROSELINE'S POVNina had transformed our backyard into something straight out of a magazine, soft strings of lights draped carefully between the trees, pale pink and cream decorations scattered thoughtfully throughout, a small table set up near the back covered in carefully wrapped gifts."Nina, this is beautiful," I said, standing near the entrance, taking in the warm, careful details she'd clearly spent hours preparing."I wanted it perfect," she said, pulling me into a gentle hug, careful of my rounded stomach now. "You deserve this, Roseline. After everything."Guests began arriving shortly after, familiar faces filling the yard with warm laughter and gentle conversation. Several of the restaurant staff came, along with a few close friends I'd made over the years, everyone gathering warmly around small tables scattered comfortably throughout the space.Florian's parents arrived mid-afternoon, Anna carrying a large, carefully wrapped package, her expression bright with quiet excitem
Tempted by my Godlike boss CHAPTER 182: The foundation launch
ROSELINE'S POVThe venue Mara had chosen for the launch felt intimate despite its elegance, a converted gallery space with soft lighting and tasteful arrangements of white flowers scattered carefully throughout the room. Florian's hand rested gently at the small of my back as we moved through the gathering crowd, my stomach now full and round beneath my dress, drawing occasional warm glances from other guests."This is beautiful," I said softly, studying the space carefully, Mara's careful, thoughtful touch evident in every small detail."It really is," Florian agreed, his own gaze moving steadily across the room.We made our way slowly through the gathering guests, introducing ourselves carefully to the small groups scattered throughout the space. Many, we quickly learned, were families connected personally to the foundation's mission, people who had lost loved ones to violence, who understood intimately the kind of grief and complicated healing Mara hoped to support through her new
