Claire was in her office trying to review contracts when her door opened and her secretary informed her that Paul wants to see her."Let him in". She said with a frown, wondering what brought him to the office.Few minutes later, a small knock sounded on the door and it opened and Paul walked in.She looked up and saw the tension in his face. "Paul? What's wrong?""Are you okay?" He closed the door behind him. "I heard Jeff showed up at your place drunk last night."Claire's eyes widened and she set down her pen. "How did you know about that?""Building security called me, I'm listed as your emergency contact, remember?""Oh! I forgot about that." Claire stood up and walked to the window because she couldn't sit still anymore."He had no right to show up at your home like that." He said, his voice tight with anger."Especially drunk, scaring you and Adrian in the middle of the night." He sounded so protective and Claire managed a small smile that quickly fell off."Adrian is fine." Sh

A black sedan sat parked across the street from Claire's apartment building with the engine off and the windows tinted dark enough that no one could see inside.Cohen had been sitting there for three hours watching the entrance and taking notes on everyone who came and went.He'd done surveillance work for Matt before, mostly tracking cheating spouses and business rivals, but this job felt different and the money Matt was offering made it clear this wasn't a simple observation assignment.Cohen checked his watch and noted the time in his log book.6:47 PM - Target vehicle approaching.Claire's car pulled into the underground parking and Cohen lifted his camera, adjusting the lens to capture her as she emerged from the garage entrance with her purse and briefcase.She looked tired and her shoulders were tight with tension as she walked toward the building door.Cohen snapped several photos and was about to lower the camera when the building door burst open.A small boy with dark hair c

Jeff sat at the bar with a smile that wouldn't leave his face, nursing his first drink while waiting for Richard.When Richard walked in and sat beside him, Jeff was practically vibrating with energy."You look like you won the lottery." Richard signaled the bartender."Better than the lottery." Jeff turned to face him. "Claire gave me a chance."Richard raised an eyebrow. "A chance to what?""To prove my love, to show her I've changed." Jeff's words tumbled out. "She said yes, Richard, she's actually going to let me prove myself.""Really? Yesterday she was really mad at you and today she suddenly gave you a chance?"Jeff blinked. "I don't care what her reason is, all I care about is that I've been given a chance.""You don't think it's strange that she suddenly changed her mind?""No, I think she finally realized I'm serious." Jeff took a drink. "Why aren't you happy for me?""Of course I'm happy for you." Richard said and raised his glass for a toss.They drank in silence and Jeff

Claire's smile dropped the moment Jeff walked out of the restaurant and her shoulders sagged as she pushed her dessert away."Claire?" Paul reached for her hand but she pulled it back."Take me home." She said and stood up."What?" Paul's face showed confusion. "We just ordered dessert...""I want to go home, now." Claire's voice was suddenly cold and she wasn't smiling anymore."Did I do something wrong?" Paul searched her face desperately. "Was it something I said?""No...you didn't do anything wrong Paul,. it's just that I just suddenly missed my son."Paul watched her for a moment and noticed she was damn serious.Claire had already grabbed her purse and walked toward the exit without waiting for him.Paul threw money on the table and hurried after her, catching up as she reached his car.The drive was silent with Paul glancing at her every few seconds, trying to read her expression while Claire stared out the window with her jaw clenched tight.When they pulled up to her building

Adrian's school auditorium buzzed with excitement as pupils gathered for the annual tech championship.Adrian sat in the third row with his hands clasped tight in his lap because he'd worked on his robot for three whole months and really wanted to win."And the winner of this year's junior tech championship is..." The principal paused dramatically. "Adrian Clark!"Adrian's face exploded into the biggest smile and he jumped from his seat, his heart felt like it might burst from his chest while the auditorium erupted in applause.From the back row, Zane watched the celebration in his new school, his eyes tracked Adrian's every movement as he walked to the stage."So this is the Adrian that wants to steal my daddy." Zane thought and studied Adrian's face carefully, he was already thinking about how to make his life miserable just like Mommy told him.Adrian accepted his trophy with trembling hands and a smile so bright, he held it up high and the applause grew even louder and for one per
