Sade POV Sade and Adamo lit up the casino in Dubuque. The slots? Hit or miss. Roulette? A whole damn scam. Blackjack? A little better, especially after Sade started counting cards just a little. (Not enough to get kicked out, but enough to make Adamo raise an eyebrow.)They won some, lost some, and drank some. The live band was surprisingly fire, the food was even better, and Adamo? That man was looking too damn good tonight.Over dinner, Adamo leaned back in his chair, swirling the last of his whiskey. "So… how do you feel about that whole thing that happened with Marco at the hotel?"Sade sighed, cutting into her steak. "I mean… I was with that man since we were kids. That’s nearly twenty damn years of my life wrapped up in him. But, I don’t want him back. I’m good."Adamo nodded like he approved of that answer. Then he took her hand and kissed the back of it.Sade smirked. "You just like hearing that, huh?""I love hearing that," he said, smirking back.Sade shook her head, laughi

MARCO’S POVI wake up groggy, my stomach turning slightly from that disgusting encounter with Sharon earlier. What the hell was I thinking? I wasn’t thinking. I was trying to distract myself, but all it did was make me feel worse. Sade wouldn’t be caught dead acting like that, throwing herself at a man, desperate, pathetic. She’s nothing like these women here. Sade is mine. She just doesn’t realize it right now.I push the thought away and get up, dressed in my best business attire. Black slacks, navy dress shirt, no tie. I want to look good but effortless. I wash my face, brush my teeth, and check the clock. Quarter to six. Before heading down to the Harley-Davidson innovation showcase, I FaceTime my kids.Justice answers first, grinning at the screen. My boy. He tells me all about camp, his excitement spilling through the phone. It settles something in me, even if just for a moment. At least they are constants in my life. He tells me the other kids are getting ready for dinner, and

After finishing their dance, Sade and Adamo made their way to the bar, grabbing drinks before settling into a booth. Sade let out a small groan as she slid off her heels, rolling her ankles."My dogs are barking," she muttered, taking a sip of her drink.Adamo chuckled, leaning back against the booth. "Well, put them up here," he said, patting his lap. "I'll rub them for you. Most of these people are drunk anyway, and they won't notice your stinky feet."She gasped, nudging him playfully on the chest. "My feet don’t stink!"He smirked. "Keep telling yourself that."She flicked his chest again, and he caught her wrist with a grin. "Not in public," he murmured. "No punishment in public."She cracked up laughing, shaking her head as she took another sip of her drink. Adamo did the same, letting his eyes wander across the room."So, do you know a lot of people here?" he asked."Actually, yeah," Sade replied, glancing around. "This is my fourth time at this event, and I’ve met most of thes

Marco's POVAs Marco sobered up, the effects of the alcohol wearing off, he and Timothy walked side by side, leaving the Gala, which was winding down. The energy of the night had faded, replaced by exhaustion and unspoken tension. They reached the elevator, and Tim finally broke the silence."Bro," Tim began carefully, "I know things with Sadé didn’t end amicably. I don’t know the full story, but from what I do know… I think it’s best if you just let her move on."Marco shot him a death glare.Tim held up his hands. "I’m just saying. That’s my opinion."Marco scoffed. "Yeah, and opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, and everyone thinks everyone else’s stinks. So, that’s what I think about yours, especially about my wife."Tim shook his head, pressing the button for the 12th floor. As the elevator ascended, he spoke again. "Look, man. This is your job. Your livelihood. A lot of people saw some of what went down. I don’t know what happened upstairs, and honestly, I don’t want t

Sade’s POV Friday MorningThe morning went off without a hitch. I dropped the kids off with my parents and made it to work by 7 AM.As soon as I pulled into the underground parking lot, Dom’s car pulled in right beside mine. Perfect timing, as always.I stepped out, wearing a form-fitting burgundy wrap dress with three-quarter sleeves. It hugged my curves just right, dipping low enough at the neckline to show a hint of cleavage. I grabbed my purse and bag, but before I could even take a step toward him, Dom was already on me, pressing the softest, most distracting kiss onto my lips.Damn. He always throws me off my game.By the time he pulled away, he had already taken my bag along with his, carrying them both like it was second nature. We rode up in the elevator together, the tension between us buzzing even in silence.The workday flew by without a single issue. Everything ran smoothly, no emergencies, no unnecessary distractions. At exactly 3:30 PM, Dom leaned against my desk and s
