[ELARA'S POV]
Two weeks after Victor dropped the lawsuit, I went back to work.
Sort of.
I'd started freelancing again. Small events. Corporate parties. Things I could do from home while Isla napped.
It felt good. Using my brain for something other than feeding schedules and diaper changes. Being Elara again. Not just Mom.
Damian was supportive. Proud even.
"You're incredible." He'd said it last night. His hand on my hip. "Building a career. Raising Isla. Being my wife. All of it."
"I'm barely keeping my head above water."
"You're thriving." He'd pulled me closer. "And I love watching you do it."
Today I had a meeting. Potential client. Big corporate event. Six figures if I landed it.
The meeting was at Voss Corp. Damian's building.
I'd never actually been to his office. Not properly. We'd always kept work and personal separate.
But the client wanted to meet there. So there I was.
The building was intimidating.
