FOR BETTER OR WORSE

Chapter 26: For better or worse

Kiara was startled out of sleep by the sound of her baby crying. She rushed to his crib and scooped him up, gently patting his back to soothe him. "How long have you been crying?" she asked him, walking back to the bed and sitting down. She took out her breast and fed it to him, watching with love as he suckled.

Her phone beeped, alerting her to a new message. She picked it up and read the message: "Remember, today is a new day, and we have a meeting." She knew it was from Lucky, and she glanced over at her husband, who was still sleeping soundly in bed. It was clear from her expression that she didn't want him to know about her plans to meet with Lucky.
