MasukJulian let out a long sigh, then led me to sit on the living room sofa. His hand was still holding mine, and I could feel the tension still lingering in his body."I met with Diego. We talked at length. And I have to say, it was the most heated argument I've ever had."I bit my lip, feeling my heart beat faster. "What did he say?"Julian shook his head, a frustrated expression on his face."He stood by his claim. He's convinced William is his son. He said there are too many similarities to ignore. The shape of the jaw, the eye color, the way William smiles, all of it, according to him, is proof that William is his flesh and blood."I felt my chest tighten hearing those words. The fear I had been burying all this time started to surface."But that's impossible.""I believe you. But Diego is stubborn. He's convinced there's a possibility William is his son, and he won't stop until he gets certainty.""What do you mean?" I asked.Julian let out a long sigh, and I could see how difficult
Julian's face changed drastically. I could see the muscles in his jaw tensing, his usually warm eyes now turning cold and sharp. The suppressed anger was starting to surface, and I knew this wouldn't end well."He dared to come to our house? After everything he's done, he still has the nerve to come here?""Calm down—""I can't calm down. He's bothering you, he's sending gifts to William, and now he dares to come to our gate? This has crossed the line."I followed him inside, leaving William who was still confused in the garden. Julian grabbed his phone from the living room table, his fingers quickly dialing a number he had already memorized."Who are you calling?" I asked.Julian didn't answer. He raised the phone to his ear, and I heard him speaking in a firm and authoritative voice."Hello, this is Julian. I need your help. There's someone bothering my family."He listened for a moment, then continued, "Yes, I know. But this has crossed the line. He came to my house, bothered my wi
I woke up with sunlight shining on my face. For a moment, I was confused about where I was, until I felt Julian's arm still wrapped around my waist, and the memory of last night's passionate night came flooding back.I smiled, looking at Julian's face still asleep. In his sleep, he looked so peaceful, so young even though his age was no longer young. I stroked his hair that was starting to gray at his temples, and he stirred slightly, pulling me closer in his embrace."Morning," he whispered, his voice still hoarse from sleep. "You're awake?""Just now," I answered, kissing his slightly stubbled chin. "You need to get up. You promised William you'd play ball this morning.""Right. I can't break a promise to my son." He stretched, then kissed my forehead gently. "But I want to stay here with you.""I want that too," I said, laughing softly. "But William is already waiting. You know how he gets when he's disappointed."Julian let out a dramatic sigh, then got up from the bed. I watched
Julian didn't let go of his embrace. His arms were still wrapped around my waist, squeezing gently, as if enjoying every touch of my skin. I could feel his warm breath on my neck, and his body starting to heat up beside me."I want you," he whispered, his voice low and full of desire. "I want you now."I smiled, feeling a tingle throughout my body. "You just got home from the office. You must be tired.""I'm never tired for you," he answered, then he kissed my neck gently, making me shiver. "Especially after you said you'd gain weight for me. I can't wait to see you plump and full again."I laughed softly, but my feelings were mixed. There was excitement because Julian wanted me, but also a discomfort because I knew this was about his strange fetish. His fetish for fat people."Julian," I said softly, trying to steady my quickening breath. "I want to ask you something.""What?" he asked, still busy kissing my neck."Why do you like fat bodies so much? I know you have this fetish, but
Julian came home later than he had promised. I saw his car enter the mansion gates as the sun was almost setting, and William, who had been waiting by the window all this time, immediately ran to the door."My Daddy's home!" William shouted, opening the door and jumping into Julian's arms as he just got out of the car.Julian laughed, lifting William and hugging him tightly. "Sorry. I'm late. The meeting ran longer than I expected. But I'm home now.""But you promised to play ball with me!" William said, pouting a little.Julian smiled, ruffling his son's hair. "I know, and I'm not breaking my promise. But it's dark now. How about tomorrow morning, you wake up early and we play ball before you go to school? I promise."William seemed to think for a moment, then nodded. "Okay. But you really have to wake up early, okay?""I promise," Julian said, then kissed William's forehead.I stood at the door, watching their interaction. There was warmth in my heart seeing Julian trying to make up
After Julian left, I spent my time cleaning the house and playing with William and Roseanne. William was still a little gloomy because Julian couldn't play ball with him, but I tried to cheer him up by making his favorite pancakes and reading his favorite storybooks."Mommy, when is Daddy coming home?" William asked for the umpteenth time, his eyes looking at me with hope."Soon, sweetheart," I answered, trying to smile even though I wasn't sure myself. "Daddy said he'd come home early, right?"William nodded, but I could see the disappointment still lingering in his eyes. I decided to distract him."How about we go shopping? Mommy needs to buy some things at the supermarket. Do you want to come?"William's face immediately lit up. "Yes, Mom! I want to help you shop!""Alright, quickly get your clothes ready. We'll go after Roseanne takes her nap."Roseanne, whom I had just nursed, was starting to get sleepy, her blue eyes beginning to close. I laid her down gently in her crib, then h

I could barely feel my feet touching the ground as I walked out of the Mendoza Corporation building. My head was still spinning, replaying every word that had come out of Julian's mouth."You're not ugly, Lorena. I'm one of the men who likes curvy women."What did he mean by that?Impossible.He wa
The Mendoza Corporation building towered over the city's main business district. I stood in the magnificent lobby with mixed emotions. Nervous, afraid, embarrassed, but also desperate because I had no other choice.I didn't come to see Diego.I came to see his uncle.Julian Mendoza.I had only seen
Three days had passed since Diego threw those divorce papers in my face.I woke up, walked into the bathroom, and stared at the mirror.The woman in front of me looked unfamiliar. Puffy eyes with dark circles underneath them. Messy hair that had not been brushed for days. Pale skin from barely seei
