NATALIE’S POV

I was halfway through reviewing a contract when my phone vibrated.

At first, I ignored it. The entire morning had been busy, and I was still trying to prove to myself that I deserved to be here. Between organizing Lucas’s schedule, responding to emails, and preparing documents for a conference call later in the afternoon, I barely had enough time to think about anything else.

The phone vibrated again.

I glanced at the screen and immediately felt my stomach tighten.

    NATALIE’S POVMia decided she was going to follow me to Carla’s house since she had to leave the office early.But by the time we got to Carla’s apartment, Ava looked perfectly fine.She was curled up beneath one of Carla’s knitted blankets, watching cartoons with a mug of warm tea sitting untouched on the coffee table. The second she spotted me, her entire face lit up.“Mommy!”She climbed off the couch before Carla could stop her and wrapped both arms around my waist.I laughed, brushing the curls away from her forehead.“I heard someone wasn’t feeling well.”She frowned dramatically.“I wasn’t.”I raised an eyebrow.“But I’m better now.”“So that’s it?

    LUCAS’ POVI read the same sentence four times.It still didn’t make sense.The contract sat open on my desk, waiting for my signature, but my eyes kept drifting to the glass wall separating my office from Natalie’s. She was typing away on her laptop, occasionally stopping to answer a phone call or jot something down in the notebook she carried everywhere.She’d settled into the job faster than I’d expected.Tom couldn’t stop praising her, Emily said she’d already organized half the mess I’d been ignoring for months. Even Ethan, who enjoyed finding something wrong with everyone, admitted she was doing well.None of it surprised me.The woman I’d met five years ago had been just as organized. She laughed at how chaotic my apartment looked after insisting on making breakfast before left.

And then Jason came to mind.I immediately sat up and checked the time.Six-thirty. I wasn’t going to start worrying so early.I quietly got out of bed and walked to Ava’s room.She was still sleeping wrapped around her stuffed bunny like she was protecting it from the world.The doctor had been right. Whatever she’d taken was out of her system now.I stood there for another moment before heading back to the kitchen.I picked up my phone from the counter and went through my messages. There was a missed call from Jason, but no texts. No threats or new demands. And a single missed call should have made me feel less scared.It didn’t.I made breakfast while Ava got ready for the day.By the time she wandered into the kitchen, I had already decided what I was doing.I wasn’t staying home.Part of me had considered it since Lucas had practically given me permission.But sta
