~CELINE~

The phone rang at seven in the morning.

I had barely slept, checking on Caesar every hour to make sure he was still there, still safe. The relief of having him back hadn't faded the fear that lived in my chest now.

"Miss Brown?" Mrs. Reid's voice was crisp through the phone. "I would like Caesar to join me for breakfast this morning."

My stomach dropped. "Mrs. Reid, I…”

"Eight o'clock. In the main dining room. You'll serve us, of course."

The line went dead.

I stared at the phone, my hands shaking. She wanted me to serve them. To wait on her while she had breakfast with my son like I was nothing more than hired help.

Which, I supposed, was exactly what I was to her.

Caesar was still asleep when I woke him, his dark hair messy against the pillow. He smiled when he saw me, that bright, innocent smile that made my heart ache.

"Morning, Mama," he mumbled, reaching up for a hug.

"Morning, baby." I held him tight, breathing in his scent. "Remember the nice lady from yesterday? She

    ~CELINE’S POV~An hour later, Blake and I were in my quarters in the east wing, and she was making herself thoroughly at home, examining every detail of the spacious rooms Hunter had given Caesar and me."Okay, I have to admit," Blake said, running her hand along the back of the plush sofa, "this is pretty incredible. Look at this place, Celine! It's like a luxury apartment, but better because you don't have to pay rent.""It's temporary," I said automatically, the words coming out before I could stop them.Blake gave me a look. "Is it, though?"I busied myself organizing Caesar's toys, not wanting to meet her knowing gaze. "Of course it is. This is Hunter's world, not mine.""Uh-huh." Blake flopped down on the sofa, making herself comfortable. "And that's why he's taking you on dates and holding your hand in front of his entire staff?"My cheeks heated up at the memory. "That was... that was just...""That was a man staking his claim," Blake said matter-of-factly. "Trust me, I know t

    ~CELINE'S POV~The sound of familiar laughter drifting through the mansion's halls made me pause in the middle of folding Caesar's laundry. That voice... it couldn't be.I set down the tiny dinosaur t-shirt I'd been smoothing and hurried toward the main foyer, my bare feet silent on the marble floors. The closer I got, the more certain I became.Blake.Sure enough, there she was, standing in the middle of Hunter's pristine entryway like she owned the place. Her auburn hair caught the morning sunlight streaming through the massive windows, and she was turning in a slow circle, taking in every detail of the opulent space."Well, well, well," Blake said, her voice carrying that mischievous tone I knew so well. "So this is how the other half lives. I have to say, it's even more ridiculously fancy than I imagined."My heart nearly stopped when I saw Ana and Elise standing nearby, their faces twisted with obvious disgust and anger. Those two especially Ana had never been particularly warm

    ~HUNTER'S POV~The familiar scent of polished marble and expensive cologne filled my nostrils as I walked through The Aurelia's main lobby. My hotel. My empire. The place where I'd built my reputation as a ruthless businessman who demanded perfection from everyone around me.But today felt different. Today, I couldn't stop thinking about cotton candy and roller coasters and the way Celine had looked at me when I told her I loved her."Good morning, Mr. Reid," the front desk manager called out as I passed, her voice crisp and professional.I nodded in response, my attention already moving to the reports in my hand. Occupancy rates, customer satisfaction scores, and staff performance reviews. The numbers that usually consumed my thoughts felt strangely unimportant this morning.Behind me, I could hear the soft murmur of my management team discussing quarterly projections and renovation schedules. Normally, I'd be leading that conversation. Today, I was distracted by thoughts of how t

    ~HUNTER'S POV~The bathroom door opened with a soft click, and I turned from where I stood in the middle of her living room, my keys forgotten in my palm.Celine emerged wrapped in a pale pink robe, her damp hair falling in waves around her shoulders. When she saw me, she froze, her hand still on the doorknob."Hunter." Her voice was carefully neutral. "Did you forget something?"I held up my keys. "Caesar's room.""Oh." She pulled the robe tighter around herself, creating another barrier between us. "Well, you have them now."The dismissal in her tone was crystal clear. Polite, grateful, but final. Like I was a stranger who had done her a favor and now it was time for me to leave."Celine.""Thank you for today," she said quickly, not meeting my eyes. "Caesar had the most wonderful time. It was... it was really nice of you to include me."Nice. The word hit me like a slap."Nice?" I repeated, my voice dangerously quiet.She nodded, still looking anywhere but at me. "I should let you

    ~HUNTER'S POV~"Mr. Reid, we'll take care of the groceries right away."Head Maid Sally's voice cut through the evening air as I pulled into the mansion's circular drive. She and Ana stood waiting by the front steps, their expressions carefully neutral as I cut the engine.I had called ahead, knowing Celine would need help with the bags. What I hadn't expected was the way both women's eyes would widen when Celine stepped out of my car, transformed from the maid in uniform who had left this afternoon into the stunning woman in the lavender dress I had bought her.Celine's face burned crimson under their scrutiny, her hands smoothing nervously over the soft fabric. I could practically hear the wheels turning in their heads, the assumptions being made, the gossip that would spread through the staff quarters by morning."Celine," I called as she moved toward the backseat, clearly intending to get Caesar herself.But I was already there, carefully lifting my sleeping son into my arms. Hi

    ~CELINE'S POV~"Mama! Mama, look!"I stopped mid-step on the mansion's front drive, grocery bags weighing down my arms, as a sleek black car pulled up directly in front of me. The tinted window rolled down, and Caesar's curly head popped out like a jack-in-the-box."Caesar?" I blinked in surprise, then noticed Hunter behind the wheel, dressed in dark jeans and a simple gray t-shirt that somehow made him look more devastating than any expensive suit. "What are you doing here?""Where are you coming from?" Hunter's blue eyes swept over my maid uniform, then landed on the grocery bags cutting into my arms.I shifted the weight awkwardly. "Head Maid Sally needed some things from the market. I was just…”"Why are you running errands?" There was a slight frown creasing his forehead that made my stomach flutter nervously."It's part of my job," I said carefully. "What's going on? Where are you two heading?""Daddy Hunter is taking me on an adventure!" Caesar bounced in his car seat, his ex
