SofiaFirst, I felt discomfort in the lower part of my back. Something like pressure. But it quickly passed, so I ignored it. I’ve felt this in the past few days. My doctor said it was normal. I continued in lively conversation with my mother and other women I met today. Next to me, with a hand resting on my knee, the one Brandon occasionally massages with affection. He’s talking to Taylor and my dad about sports, I think. Since we’re not going on a honeymoon now because of Aaron’s imminent birth, we decided to stay a little longer at the party. Everything was so perfect, just as I dreamed.Then, I felt the baby move in a way I hadn’t felt before, and I became alert. My belly felt tight and then returned to normal. Suddenly, I felt wet, as if I had peed in my clothes. Alarms started ringing in my head. This is it. The time has come. Aaron wants to be born to make this day even more special. I smile to myself.Since I’m not in pain, I manage to stay calm. So, I place my hand on my husb

Konstantinos When that cute and feisty little thing entered the Laios group building, I immediately deduced it wouldn't be the last time I saw her. I have to confess, I was pleased about that! But I didn't expect to see her right here, in the weekly meeting. The terrified look she shot me and the paleness that took over her face upon realizing who I am… Oh, that was incredible! The desire to torment her took over my entire being. Not that she was mistaken to be angry about the earlier incident. She was right, and I don't usually make such careless mistakes. I'm not selfish, nor rude, as she suggested. I was just genuinely running late, and if there's one thing that stresses me out, it's being late for my commitments. And I despise people who do that! I noticed that, aside from being beautiful, the girl is a wordsmith. She didn't allow me to explain or apologize. Not to mention, she showed me the middle finger and refused to hold the elevator for me, which was quite childish. And amus

Sofia I never thought this day would come. There he is, David, standing at the threshold of my restaurant—the same one I managed to reopen after numerous setbacks, and after he left me in ruins. It's as if the years haven't touched his skin, the same cold expression that always left me unsettled.Now he sees Saborear by Sofia, the elegant restaurant I built, flourishing in one of the city's best areas, and me, Sofia, rebuilt, renewed. He approaches the counter where I am and gestures to the chair in front of me, as if asking if he can sit. Surprised, I just nod mechanically.There's a mischievous smile on his face. His familiar red hair is tousled, and his gaze is admiring as he surveys the place, bustling with dinner guests.I confess I'm a little shaken. But not because he affects me. I don't think I ever harbored true feelings for this man. He was just good with words, saying what I needed to hear at the time."Hello, beautiful Sofia," David finally says. "Look at this place! It's

Sofia "The important thing is that you're safe, and Aaron too. And that this idiot doesn't show his face again. You'll have to see me. "Brandon pulls back a lock of my hair and looks tenderly into my eyes, kissing my forehead. I smile and hug him, leaning my head against his strong chest.I mentally thank him for having an understanding and supportive husband. I feel a little calmer in his arms, even if the episode with David still echoes in my mind. The restaurant, which used to be my refuge, has quickly become a battleground, and the battle isn't just in the kitchen. It's all because of endless jealousy, from an unfortunate man who doesn't know how to deal with his failure. "We'll get through this together, as we always do. "Brandon smiles at me too, trying to dispel the tension in the air.We go to the room where Aaron is asleep and watch him. He looks like an angel. Every day he looks more like his father and I love it! "I think we'll have to hire another babysitter. "I say to

Sofia "Unfortunately, the attack on Laureen made the restaurant a center of intense emotions," I commented to Laura, "The news of intentional poisoning shocked my team. The atmosphere is one of distrust and fear," I sigh. "I've increased security measures, and the police investigation is delving into the motives behind the targeted attack."What a mess, friend! I could say it was David, but he's still in custody, right?""Yes, although I believe he won't stay there for long.""Well, I don't completely rule him out, to be honest. He may have contacts.""At this point, I don't rule out anything. Laureen's recovery is progressing slowly," I say, holding my head in my hands. "I hope she'll be okay! Even though I know I'm not at fault and trust my staff completely, I feel responsible."Laura rubs my shoulder, trying to console me.While dividing my time between the restaurant and hospital visits, the weight of responsibility and concern for her well-being takes its toll. The resilience th
