BRIEWho's that?"Alex and I turned to see that David was out of the car too. I motioned for Dave to come closer. "Damien meet David, David meet Damien, he's the one I was talking about my first son". I introduced. "Hi, nice to meet you". "Same". Dame smiled at him. "Come inside guys, it's cold out here. You both have explaining to do". He said pointing at me and Alex. "Are you sure he's your son?". Alex asked confused."Yes, that's Dame for you. He said he's the man of the house and he needs to protect us. Sim I wonder if it's a 50 year old man stuck in a 16 year old's body". I said sighing which made David laugh. We all went inside and I went into the kitchen to make coffee for Alex, tea for me and milk for the boys. Yeah Damien still drinks milk because he find it difficult to sleep at night especially if he naps in the afternoon. I gave everyone their drinks and sat down close to Dame. "Where are the rest?"."I tucked them in. Aunt Anna had to learn because there was an em

ALEX Waking up u was greeted by the most beautiful sight ever. Brie was sprawlled on me, her head on my chest and her hair covering her face. Her arm was around my torso cuddling me in a tight embrace. Our legs were tangled together. I shifted my hand that was resting on her waist to move her hair out of her face. She was sleeping peacefully, her long lashes resting just above her cheekbones, her rosy bow shaped lips in a pout. Her breathing hitting my skin in a steady pace. Her frame was much smaller than mine large frame which makes her fit perfectly in arms. Kissing her forehead, I hugged her closer to me relishing the feel of her body against mine. Waking up to the beautiful face of the woman you love sure is the best feeling in the whole universe and I can't believe she's all mine. Hugging her impossibly closer, nuzzling my head in her neck, she mumbled incoherent words hugging me tighter. I glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table and saw it was 6:00 am. I decided to

BRIEToday is soccer day for the boys, and Michael was coming over so I decided to invite my mum and sister to have a day together with the girls since Luca was going with the boys too. “ Lisa, get the door”. I shouted from the kitchen where I was making some treats for us for the day.“ Uncle Mikey”, I heard Lisa while Iadey way to the living room. Lisa hugged her grandmother and aunt and the duo soon jumped into conversation, “ Guess what aunt Anna”, Lis said excitedly “ohhhh, there's gist girly”. Anna said equally excited. I rolled my eye aat their antics. “ Hey mum”, I said. “ Hey honey, how are you doing?”. “ I'm good mum”.“ Heyyyy, so I don't get any hugs now from you sis?.”Mike said, ever dramatic with his hands on his the right side of his chest. “ You know the heart is on the left side right”? I said while hugging him.“ Mine's on the right”. He said rolling his eyes at me. “ If you both are done with your antics, mum interrupted our soon to be brewing argument.May I kno

BRIEI looked down at my phone smiling as Alexander's name lit up the screen “ I'm outside”. After the whirlwind of the past weeks with the kids, moment like this, calm and domestic feels unreal. “ Heading down now”. I replied.The ride down the elevator felt longer than usual, anticipation building with each ding. The glass door of the building opened and there he was leaning casually against the hood, his tailored jacket off and his shirt sleeves rolled up, exposing strong forearms. The moment his gaze met mine, a slow smile spread across his face, sending a warm flutter through me.“Hey there, beautiful,” he said as I approached, his deep voice full of affection as he kissed my forehead. The gesture erupting a pool of butterflies in my tummy.“Hey yourself,” I replied, unable to stop my own grin.He stepped forward, his hand gently grazing my lower back as he opened the passenger door for me. I climbed in, inhaling the familiar mix of leather and his cologne.“Long day?” he asked

ALEXThe office felt colder tonight. It wasn’t the temperature but the heavy silence, broken only by the faint ticking of the clock on the wall. My sanctuary, once a place of focus and strategy, now felt suffocating, like the walls were pressing in on me. I sat behind my desk, nursing a glass of bourbon, the amber liquid catching the dim light from the desk lamp.Ricardo’s face haunted me—his smug smirk, his piercing eyes. The encounter at the mall was brief, but it had triggered memories I’d worked hard to bury. The way he said “ just surprising an old friend” A knock at the door startled me.“Dad?”I looked up to see Damien peeking inside.“Yes, buddy?” I asked, trying to sound normal.“Just wanted to say goodnight,” he said, stepping in. His voice carried a maturity that always surprised me, even though he was only sixteen, “And… is everything okay?”I hesitated. “Why do you ask?”“You’ve been quiet since you guys got home,” he said, frowning. “It’s not like you.”I forced a smile
