LOGIN“Slowly, baby,” I shouted to Arriana when I saw her running to the slide she was going to. Arzhel was following her so I felt secure. Also, there were four bodyguards there with us, scattered around. I was just watching them. Arriana was sliding, while Arzhel was waiting at the end, watching her,
I checked my other emails too, hoping I received something from the police about Jarred’s case. But there was still no update about Jarred. I sighed. “That was deep,” Arzhel said. He was carrying two cups of coffee. I smiled and put my iPad on the table. He handed me my coffee while he put his
When I woke up, Arzhel was no longer in our bed. Arriana was always in the middle of us. He would sleep hugging his daddy, but when Arzhel needed to wake up, he would slowly transfer Arriana’s hand to me. I kissed Arriana’s forehead, then I slowly removed her hand from me. I got out of the bed, wa
His arms wrapped around me securely. “Tell me next time,” he murmured. I nodded “I will,” I said. It was not entirely true. But it was the only thing I could say. He pulled back slightly and looked at me again. “Does your shoulder hurt?” he asked. “A little,” I admitted. He sighed. “You sho

“Did they already reply?” I asked Janna. I was still holding the phone to my ear, still waiting for the owner of the construction company to pick up my call. While Janna was doing a follow up email to them. She worriedly shook her head. The ring ended. I irritatedly dialed again. “The number you
“Mommy,” Arriana entered. She was holding her jigsaw puzzle. I set aside what Arzhel said. He was making it sound like she prioritized me, and I didn’t know how to react to that information. I thought Arriana would run all the way to me, so I turned my seat a little and slightly opened my arms so
“What brought you here, Arzhel?” I asked him. It felt like the first time I saw him again in my office after he started seeing Stephanie. I walked back to my table, not waiting for his reply. I felt him follow me. He sat in front of my desk. He took one of the documents I was reading earlier.
Days passed quickly without me noticing. Another Friday passed last week when Arzhel and I didn’t have our weekly meeting. It was better that way. I was slowly closing the wound that was about to open last time. As per the daily sales, I was still not sending him anything since we still didn’t op
