The gala continued around us, but I stopped paying attention to who was standing where. I stayed close to Camille, spoke with a few familiar faces, and allowed myself to enjoy the rest of the evening without letting my thoughts drift back to Dominic. By the time the event began winding down, I was ready to leave. Camille and I said our goodbyes before heading out together. The drive home was quieter than usual. Neither of us brought up Dominic again. I was grateful for that. The driver pulled into the driveway and stopped in front of the house.Camille and I stepped out.The night air was colder than I expected, and I pulled my coat tighter around myself as we started toward the front door.We had barely taken a few steps when laughter drifted from somewhere behind the house.I stopped.Camille stopped beside me.We looked at each other.Another laugh followed.Camille pulled out her phone and glanced at the time.“It’s almost 10 p.m.”I looked toward the backyard.“There’s no way t

I woke up with a hangover.My eyes felt heavy.I managed to open them, but the brightness of the morning sun immediately hit my eyes, so I closed them again and just lay there for a while.Thank goodness it was Saturday.No need to rush out of bed.After a while, I finally opened my eyes again.It was better.Sleep was no longer in my eyes.I reached for my phone from the bedside table.Almost eleven.Wow.The alcohol from last night, combined with going to bed around midnight, probably explained it.Then my stomach growled.Fuck.I got out of bed and went into the bathroom.I brushed my teeth, rinsed my mouth, and went downstairs.I was too hungry to wait until after my bath.Besides, I wasn’t going anywhere today.When I reached the hallway, I saw Pierce coming out of his room.He looked like he had just woken up too.“Good morning, Pee.”Pierce looked up.“Heyy. Good morning.”We both headed toward the stairs.“I’m so fucking hungry,” he said as we started down. “I hope breakfast i

He didn’t answer immediately.The cars started moving again.I followed the vehicle in front of me, and Dominic’s car moved alongside mine.For a moment, he said nothing.Then he looked at Leo.“No.”He paused.“I’m not really busy.”Leo’s face brightened.“Yeeh!”He turned toward me.“Mummy, he can come!”I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.Dominic was looking at me now.He didn’t ask.He just looked at me with a quiet kind of hope that made something in my chest tighten.I looked away.I didn’t want him there.At least, that was what I kept telling myself.But Leo was his child, whether I liked it or not.And Dominic had barely had any real time with him.I knew Leo was fond of him.I had seen it every time they crossed paths.Maybe I understood why.This was only an afternoon.The least I could do was let them spend some time together.I sighed quietly.Then I nodded.Dominic’s expression changed immediately.A small smile appeared on his face.“I’ll come with you guys.”Leo p

We stayed there for a while.Leo kept playing with Noah and Ella, running between the climbing frame and the nearby patch of grass.Every now and then, he looked back at us.Just to make sure we were still there.I found myself smiling each time he did.Eventually, he came running toward us.“Mummy!”I looked down at him.“What?”“I’m thirsty.”I reached into my bag and pulled out a bottle of water.“Here.”He took it from me and drank almost half of it in one go.I raised an eyebrow.“You were that thirsty?”He nodded.“Yes.”Dominic smiled.Leo handed the bottle back to me.Then his eyes wandered toward something behind us.His entire face changed.“Mummy.”“What?”He pointed.“Ice cream.”I followed his finger.There was a small ice cream cart a short distance away, with a few people standing in front of it.I looked back at him.“You want some?”He nodded immediately.“Yes, please.”I laughed.“Okay.”I started walking, but Leo didn’t follow me.He looked at Dominic.“Come.”Domin

Everything inside me went still.Leo was looking at me, waiting for an answer.My eyes moved to Dominic.He was completely silent.Leo looked between the two of us again.“Mummy, you said I’m his child. Does that mean he is my daddy?”My throat tightened.I couldn’t speak.My mind was already running in a hundred different directions.What if I told him yes and he hated me for lying to him all these years?What if he asked why I had told him his father was dead?What was I supposed to say?That his father had been alive all along?That I had known exactly who his father was and had chosen not to tell him?How was I supposed to explain a marriage, a divorce, betrayal, pregnancy and everything that happened afterward to a five-year-old?And what if I told him everything?What if he hated Dominic after hearing what he had done to me?What if he looked at Dominic differently after learning that his father had hurt his mother and walked away from their marriage without knowing he existed?
