The day had barely begun, and the house felt alive with movement. Alejandro was at the mirror, knotting his tie with precise fingers, while Elise sat on the edge of the bed fastening the buckle of her flats.

He glanced over his shoulder at her reflection, his lips tugging into the smile that came too easily these days. “I’ll drop you off at the hospital.”

She shook her head immediately. “You don’t have to. I can manage.”

“I insist.” He turned, sliding his cufflink into place with a practiced flick. “What kind of husband lets his pregnant wife wander around the city on her own?”

Elise laughed softly, but it didn’t reach her eyes. “It’s not like you are going to do that. You would already have Lucas go with me and some of your other men.

Also, you have a mountain of work to do.”

He crossed the room and crouched slightly in front of her, ignoring the perfect crease of his suit as he adjusted the strap of her shoe himself. “I refuse to be the man who will let you go alone,” he said simpl

    “I’ve tried to do everything carefully,” Diane whispered. “She trusts me too much. I… I almost feel guilty sometimes.”Elise pressed her knuckles to her mouth, biting back the gasp that threatened to spill. Her chest felt like it might implode. She had heard Diane’s voice, but she still did not want to believe. But the longer she stayed, the more everything began to click into place: the odd advice, the constant insistence that pulling away was ‘best for Alejandro,’ the way Diane always seemed to appear when her doubts were sharpest.She staggered back from the doorway, her hands still on her lips before her trembling legs gave her away. Moving quickly and without drawing any attention, she climbed the stairs, her breath shallow as though the walls were closing in.Once she was in the bedroom, Elise sank onto the mattress. Her hands trembled against her lap. Diane. Her Diane. She had seen her more like a sister, and not an assistant. Yet this?She wanted to scream, to storm back down

    Tia Mendoza had barely reached her, but Elise knew that the woman who stood before her had not brought good tidings. She carried the same cold air that always spread faster than her fragrance, and the way some staff had paused in their duty made it obvious that they had caught the whiff.“Mrs. Mendoza,” Elise finally managed, straightening despite the twist in her stomach.Tia Mendoza’s eyes flickered over Elise, assessing and dissecting. Her lips curved into the faintest polite smile, though it did not help relax Elise’s nerves.“Why do you look that way. Are you surprised to see me?” she probed, her heels clicking against the stone as she advanced.Elise clasped her hands together. “I—yes. I had no idea you were coming. Welcome.” She gestured. “It’s just… Alejandro isn’t home at the moment. He left for work not long ago.”Tia tilted her head, amusement flashing briefly in her eyes. “Good. I didn’t come for Alejandro.” She paused deliberately. “I came to see you.”Elise blinked, her

    Two days had passed, since Alejandro told Elise about how he felt on her visit to Mariana. And since then, the house had carried a silence that Elise had never known.It started with Alejandro walking out and her knowing that she needed to give him space. Since then, it has only grown much worse. Now, she was the one avoiding him, knowing exactly how much her anger only fueled his hurt.But his presence still surrounded her as he had not stopped caring. Even when he did not ask her to join him in the bathroom before leaving for work, he still prepared her bath water. While he ate his breakfast, he still added some of his eggs to her food despite that she was still sleeping.But the entirety of the conversations they had during their period was only in fragments. Him texting her about leaving for work before she woke up, or Elise responding to his questions.This morning, Elise stretched as soon as she opened her eyes and when she lifted herself from the bed, she let out a sigh.

    Antique Lilies Restaurant was elegant, and completely known for its luxury. It was rumored that the service offered there was not the best, but because of the name and influence it had amassed, it was among the first-choice restaurants for elites in the city. On a normal day, it was not what Elise would have chosen for herself as she preferred the reserved lifestyle, especially considering her upbringing. The seats and rims of the table were plated in original gold with the staff dressed more fashionably than the air hostesses of the first class compartments of popular airlines. But Elise did not have a choice, as Mariana had picked that place herself.The waiters looked like they’d rather turn away anyone not born into money and behind one of them, she spotted Mariana sitting elegantly. After the conclusion she had made at the hospital earlier that week, she still had some doubts which led to her consulting Diane. Diane had given Elise all the mental boosts she needed and even o

    It was morning, as Alejandro’s constant 4am alarm had struck, and even as he did not have any urgent need for it this day, he raised himself from the bed. Looking over the estate through his window, he allowed the fresh gush of wind to fill his nose before he let out an exhale. He had been working on a plan to save the company and had sent out an email to this prominent investor. It had been days and he was yet to get a reply. Although his usual morning routine had been to check his mail for feedback, this morning, he did not feel like it yet. He was not willing to sour his mind with negative things yet, as his main focus at that moment was reliving the previous day.The moment he had spent with his Lily. Her mood in the previous days had felt like a switch, off and on, and anything that made her happy, he was all in it. Seeing her happy the previous day and even expressed in the way her body reacted to him caused him some kind of thrill. With a smile on his face, he turned to
