CHAPTER ELEVEN—THE SUBTLE SHIFT.

Arina’s POVThe morning sunlight poured through the tall glass windows of the Bruce mansion, filling the dining area with a warm glow. I had gotten up early to help Maria set the table. Kael insisted on helping too, carrying napkins and placing them—crookedly but with pride—next to the plates.When Damon Bruce walked into the room, his presence made everything else seem less important. He wore a charcoal shirt, with his sleeves rolled up to his forearms and his tie hanging loosely, as if he’d already been working. His eyes found Kael immediately, and something unreadable crossed his face.“Good morning, Dad!” Kael said cheerfully.For a moment, Damon just stared, as if the word caught him off guard. Then, slowly, a faint smile appeared. “Good morning, Kael.”It was brief but genuine.Kael grinned and pulled out a chair for him. “I helped set the table.”Damon’s eyebrows raised slightly. “You did?”I cleared my throat softly. “He insisted. He said it was ‘for practice.’”Kael nodd

CHAPTER TWELVE—THE QUIET BLOOM.

Damon’s POVThe morning sunlight spread lazily across the polished floor of Bruce Mansion, cutting golden lines through the silence. It was too early for laughter. Or so I thought until I heard it.Soft, clear, and faintly musical.It was Arina.Her laugh drifted from the living room, light as the morning breeze. I paused on the staircase, my hand resting on the railing, letting the sound wash over me. There was something about it—unforced, gentle—that softened the air around her.When I finally went down, I found her kneeling next to Kael on the rug. A coloring book lay open between them, and crayons were scattered like candy. Kael furrowed his brow in concentration as he carefully shaded a tiny sun in the corner of the page.“You missed a bit,” she teased, tapping the edge of the paper.Kael gave a little grin, small but real. “You missed one too.”The smile that lit her face spoke volumes.For a moment, I stood there—not the CEO nor the father guarding his heart behind cold wa

CHAPTER THIRTEEN—SOFT SPACES.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN, Soft SpacesArina’s POVThe morning light streamed through the tall windows of the Bruce mansion, creating golden patches on the marble floor. I moved quietly around the living room. My hair was tied in a loose bun, and my gown showed some creases from the morning rush. I had already made Kael’s breakfast, double-checked his school bag, and placed his shoes neatly by the door.The house felt calm, unusually calm, except for the faint sounds of the staff working in various rooms. Damon hadn’t come down yet, and I found myself glancing at the staircase now and then. Not that I was waiting, I assured myself, but Kael’s questions about his father had been coming more often.“Is Daddy coming down for breakfast?” Kael asked, nibbling on his toast.I smiled faintly as I set a cup of milk in front of him. “He might, champ. He’s probably just busy.”Kael sighed and swung his legs under the chair. “He’s always busy. But he talked more yesterday. Maybe he’ll come today too

CHAPTER FOURTEEN—FLICKERS OF SOMETHING.

Arina’s POVThe evening breeze was cool, gently swaying the flowers in the garden of the Bruce mansion. Kael lay on the grass next to me, gazing up at the sky and imagining shapes in the clouds drifting overhead. “Look at that one!” he exclaimed, pointing. “It looks like a bunny!”I chuckled softly. “A bunny? It looks more like a sleeping cat to me.”He scrunched his face in protest. “You always change what I say.”“I’m just teasing,” I replied, playfully ruffling his hair. “Okay, it’s a bunny.”Moments like these felt serene—almost too serene. They made me forget the worries that usually weighed on me: my father’s tired hands, the lingering debt, and the quiet sorrow of home. Here, surrounded by the fragrance of freshly trimmed roses and Kael’s laughter, the world seemed kinder.I didn’t notice Damon standing on the balcony until Kael waved excitedly. “Daddy! Come down!”My heart skipped a beat as Damon descended the stone steps with his usual grace, his dark shirt sleeves rolled

CHAPTER FIFTEEN—UNSPOKEN WARMTH.

Arina’s POVThe morning in the mansion was unusually quiet. The halls felt more silent, and the ticking clock seemed louder. As I was organizing Kael’s clothes for school, I realized he hadn’t come down for breakfast, which was strange since he usually woke up before me and hurried down the stairs, sleepy-eyed and waiting for me to fix his hair.I ascended the long staircase to his room and knocked gently. “Kael?” There was no response. When I opened the door, my heart raced. He was curled up under the blanket, looking pale and half-awake, his little face warm and flushed. “Kael?” I said softly, approaching him and touching his forehead. My heart sank; he was burning up. “Your head feels hot,” I murmured. “I’m fine,” he replied weakly, but his voice betrayed him. “No, you’re not,” I said firmly. “You’re staying in bed.” He tried to argue, but I placed a finger on his lips. “No school today.” I hurried downstairs to call the family doctor, my voice shaking slightly as I spoke

CHAPTER SIXTEEN—THE WEIGHT OF A LOOK.

Arina’s POVThe morning rays of the sun peeped gradually through the tall windows of the Bruce mansion, giving the polished floors a golden striped look. The halls were quiet, very much so, except for the low sound of the kitchen staff getting ready for breakfast. Kael was up already, and his tiny feet could be heard making their way down the hall.“Good morning, Ari!” he shouted gaily, rushing to me. His face had a faint blush from the previous day, but the gleam in his eyes was a sign that he was back to normal.“Good morning, Kael,” I said, and tousled his hair a little. “Are you feeling better?”He shook his head with a big smile. “A lot! Can we have pancakes?”I chuckled gently. “Sure, kiddo. But first, you need to eat healthy, okay?”While leading him to the dining room, I found it hard to forget the look that Damon had given me yesterday. The way he had stared at me while I was taking care of Kael… it was a glance, almost reluctant, but still, it remained in my heart like a

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN—UNSPOKEN ADMIRATION.

Arina’s POVThe morning sunlight spilled gently into the Bruce mansion, casting long shadows across the polished marble floors. I had been up early, tidying Kael’s room and preparing breakfast. He was still asleep, wrapped snugly in his blanket, the faint warmth of his small body radiating comfort I couldn’t quite describe.I set the tray down quietly in the kitchen, moving carefully to avoid the creak of the floorboards. The mansion always felt so vast and still in the mornings, like the walls themselves were holding their breath, waiting.I was arranging the breakfast plates when I heard the soft hum of footsteps approaching. Damon.He entered without announcement, his usual calm stride slightly tense today. His sharp eyes scanned the kitchen before settling on me.“Good morning,” I said softly, offering a small smile.“Good morning,” he replied, his voice low and measured, his gaze lingering on the table before flicking to me. He said nothing more, but I could feel the weight o

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN—SILENT CURRENTS.

Arina’s POVThe mansion was quiet that morning, though the usual noise of staff and distant city sounds seeped softly through the thick walls. I moved carefully through the hallway, carrying Kael’s favorite books for our morning reading session. The polished floors shone under the early sunlight, and the faint aroma of fresh flowers filled the air. It was a small comfort amid the tension that always lingered in the house.Kael ran ahead, his little feet tapping rapidly against the marble, laughter bubbling up as he chased a stray sunbeam across the floor. “Ari, catch me!” he called, his voice full of delight.I smiled softly, letting him dart past me. I knew it was pointless to chase him. He always had endless energy, even after recovering from his brief illness. “All right, little man, but don’t run too far,” I warned gently.He waved over his shoulder without stopping. His grin lit up the hallway. “I won’t!”I watched him for a moment, feeling a tightening in my chest at how muc

CHAPTER NINETEEN—ECHOES BETWEEN WALLS.

Arina’s PoV The mansion was illuminated by a soft, golden morning light that streamed through the tall windows, creating gentle patterns on the polished floors. The usual sounds of activity felt subdued, as if the walls sensed the underlying tension. Kael had risen earlier than normal, a common occurrence following his brief illness. He moved energetically through the halls, clutching his favorite toy car. “Sunshine!” he called out cheerfully, using the special name we had chosen together. I smiled warmly, feeling a rush of affection for his trust and innocence. “Good morning, little man,” I said, playfully ruffling his hair. “Did you sleep well?” He nodded, bouncing on his toes. “Yes! Can we play after breakfast?” I nodded and led him to the dining area, where breakfast was ready. The smell of fresh bread and fruit filled the air, creating a comforting backdrop to the quiet morning. I focused on my tasks, carefully setting his plate in front of him and pouring juice into

CHAPTER TWENTY—SILENCE BETWEEN HEARTBEATS.

Arina’s POVThe sun had barely risen when the mansion began to stir. It was quiet, the kind of quiet that made the ticking clock in the hallway sound louder than usual. I moved softly through the living room, holding a tray of tea for Mrs Bruce. She had asked to have her morning tea in the garden, and as always, I was careful not to make a sound that could disturb the peaceful rhythm of the house.Kael was still asleep. The little boy had been getting better. He was more talkative and more expressive, but after his mild fever, he seemed more attached to me than before. Sometimes, when I tucked him in, his small hand would hold mine as though afraid I might disappear overnight.“Morning, dear,” Mrs Bruce said when she saw me. Her tone was neutral, neither warm nor cold, just as it had always been. She looked graceful in her silk robe, her grey hair pinned neatly. “You’re early as usual.”“Yes, ma’am,” I said softly, placing the tray beside her seat. “Would you like honey in your
