Adam sleeves had no idea how long he slept for. But one thing was certain. The fact that he had one of the best sleeps in a very long while. Finally opening his eyes, he saw that the space next to him was empty. Trying not to feel too disappointed, Sleeves reached for his phone on the nightstand. Absentmindedly seeing what the time was, the disappointed feeling slowly faded away. His kids were definitely awake and someone had to attend to them. Adam spent a couple of seconds going through pending notifications after which he put his phone aside and got out of bed. He proceeded to the bathroom and was out in a few minutes. Sleeves reached for his sweatpants and plain tee in the closet, put them on, then exited the bedroom. 

Finally pulling away, A small smile crept to Adam’s lips when he saw Kara trying to hide her blush. He chuckled, “Never knew you could be this shy!” He ran his finger over her slightly swollen bottom lip. “I’m not.” She mumbled, looking everywhere else but him. “Says someone who can’t look into my eyes.” Kara rolled her eyes. “Aren’t you still meant to be grumpy?” Adam shook his head. “Not after that beautiful kiss. I’m so fucking proud of you for standing up for us. And thank you for being there for me earlier.” He leaned closer to her and placed a long kiss on her fo

Adam got off Kara, laid on his side, and turned his attention to her. He raised her chin so her eyes would meet his. “Do you regret me making love to you? Did I hurt you?” He asked with a pained voice. “You said you wanted it hard and fast. Sorry if I went too rough!!!” Adam apologized, hating himself already. “That’s not the point. We didn’t use protection. Don’t you think you should have pulled out?” “You’re scared you will get pregnant with our child?” “Do you think now is the right time to bring a baby into the world?” She challenged politely. 

“Good Morning, Mr. Sleeves. I’ve been trying to reach you.” Vanessa, Adam's secretary, rose to her feet the moment he approached her desk. “Something important came up which was why I couldn’t attend the meeting. Apologize to the clients on my behalf and reschedule.” Adam was about to proceed to his office when Vanessa stopped him with her words. “You have visitors, Sir.” “Who?” He frowned. By the way Vanessa was trembling, Adam could tell it was who he didn’t want to see. “Your Father and Sister!” “Why the hell did

Just as Hugh predicted, Adam started the car with extreme speed but he was able to pester him to drive at the normal speed, pleading with him that his daughter needed her father alive. After what felt like forever to Adam, they got to the address. He came down from the car immediately and took in the surroundings. It was one of the slum areas in Chicago. Houses were built so close to each other, the buildings were extremely old, it was quite noisy with people going to and fro and even the smell of the environment could make one nauseous. “Where are they?” Adam turned to Hugh. “That’s Chad, let’s go!” He pointed to the far end of the building where Chad stood. Hugh led the way, Adam and Troy followed suit, ignoring the stares, glares, whisp
