"So, we have a plan?" "We have a plan,” Alex and I nodded at Matt's words. “Who will speak?” “You.” We repeat at the same time. “What are you guys here for?” "Just support.” We spoke again at the same time. “Why did we bring Mark?” Matt asked turning to his brother. "Alex needed a babysitter,” he sighed, nodding towards the boy who was watching us all from his chair. “Why didn't you leave him at the kindergarten?” I inquired without being able to stop seeing the boy's hair. We all took our children to the same daycare, which was in the building where they all worked and which Mark owned. "He didn't want to let me go,” Alex muttered, smiling at his son, "Abbie is studying and I like spending time with Luke when she's not around." "This could be dangerous,” I pointed out. "And that's why Mark will lock himself up with Luke in the car and leave with him if necessary,” he explained casually,

“Sir! You can’t go in there!” “Fuck off.” I replied to the lad before opening Alex office’s door. Who looked at me in surprise from the desk when he saw me. "I'm so sorry, Alex. This man didn’t stop to ask, he just came in,” said the lad hurriedly. "It's okay, Ed. Apparently, Louis has something important to say to me,” he explained before focusing again on his computer screen. “Sorry, magistrate. Something important has come up to me, I'll call you back in a few minutes.” I walked over to the office window, hearing the door close behind me and the anxiety creeping higher and higher in my system. “Do you want to explain to me why you ignored my assistant and made me finish a video conference with an important someone?” Alex asked, standing next to me. "I need to hire you again,” I said turning to face him. “Is it Daley?” he inquired alarmed “Son of a bitch, he’s the one who hit you in the face? We are going to sink him,

“Did you tell her you have the children’s parental rights?” I growled in annoyance when Matt sat down next to me, so I couldn't help the sarcastic comment that escaped me. “Do you see her professing the unconditional love she feels for me?” "I'm just saying it's not fair for you to put her through this process unnecessarily...” "Oh, because I highly enjoy having one of my ex-lovers offering me sex in exchange of the kids’ custody in my wife's office." He turned to look at me suspiciously. “What the fuck are you talking about?” he asked. “Our caseworker is on leave due to family problems, so they sent a substitute I met last year instead.” He cursed. “Did you sleep with her?” I couldn't help but look at him bored. “What do you think I used to do with women in the past, Matt? Play Uno cards? Scrabble? Of course I fucked them, why else if not?” "I swear you’re all beasts,” he growled in resp

Well, this wasn’t the way I expected to end my first day back in New York. Five minutes ago? I’d felt in the clouds. I couldn't believe the man I loved had given me the most beautiful experience of my life. Oh, yeah. It was getting easier and easier for me to think of Louis in that way. Spending two amazing weeks in Hawaii with your friends and family would be a tough thing to beat. Days of sunbathing by a beautiful beach or by the pool, biking through history-filled roads, driving the Hana Road, and exploring every waterfall we saw. Diving, paddle boarding, visiting museums or, in Louis's case, swimming with sharks (only he dared to do it) while the rest of us watched him from the boat. And when everyone found out about Gena and Pierre's engagement? Yeah, things got out of control. My body was still recovering from the amount of alcohol I ingested those days. But the memories I will treasure the most, will be A

My God, I was going crazy. Louis was driving me crazy! Shouldn’t I supposed to be writing his name with hearts? Or daydreaming about how we'll look together twenty years from now? Well, no. Actually, I had started a list on how to kill my husband without raising suspicions and end up in jail. It had been three days since we declared our eternal love and that he didn’t leave me due to the fact that I walked through life without a uterus, and since then, he’d dedicated himself to showing me every video on IVF that he found, or the most prominent specialists money could buy, or every surrogacy program that appeared on G****e.” And I wanted to kill him. Don't take me the wrong way, I was pleased and flattered that the man wanted to have a child with me, but honestly? I felt like he was going too fast. Just a few days ago we said our first I love you, a fact that I had loved and hated at the same time because my surprise had
