Then he stands up, taking Karla by the arm, and leads her out of the board room.

I look at Tony. Not knowing what to say. I can see that he does not have anything to say to me either. No reassurance, no words of encouragement. I have to make this choice on my own. I have to decide between the love of my life, my soul mate - and my own son.
Picking up the contract and sliding it into my work bag next to my laptop I stand up to leave. There is nothing more to say about anything right now.
"Thank you, Tony. I will be in touch."
He nods sadly and watches me walk out of the room.
I go straight to Gianna. I have to tell her. This is not something I can keep from her. She has a right to know.
I spent the entire drive here wondering how I could word it. How will I say it? How will she react? Who am I kidding? I know exactly how she will react; she will tell me to sign it immediately because she will never want to be the reason, I can't have my son and end this nightmare of a court case. But it will absolutely not be that simple for me.
She opens the door for me, looking fresh and beautiful.
"How did it go?" she blurts out as soon as I walk in.
"I --- it---" I sigh.
"Ok wait, sorry, it must have been a really long day. Go take a seat in the living room. I made dinner and I'll pour you a drink. Take a moment to yourself." She stands up on her tiptoes to kiss me softly. Her lips against mine and for a moment I forget the horrors of the day. Then she walks away, towards the kitchen.
I leave my things at the door and sit down in her living room. I can't get comfortable. I know the words I need to say but they are stuck in my throat. I can't seem to say them out loud for Gianna to hear.
She walks in with a tray of food and drinks. Handing me a whiskey on the rocks she starts chatting about silly things in an attempt to try and ease the tension she can obviously feel around me.
I sip the drink and watch her. I love the way her lips move, and how they curl into the most beautiful smile. I love the way she sits on the couch with one leg wrapped under her. I love the way she speaks with her hands in excited gestures. I love the way she is doing everything she can to help me feel more relaxed.
I can't help myself. I lean over, pushing her so she is lying back on the sofa. I tower over her, pulling her shirt up I kiss the soft skin of her belly and her pale round breasts. I run my tongue over her nipple, and she sighs softly, her fingers in my hair.
Grabbing her around the waist I pull her further down the couch so that she is underneath me and pull her shirt over her head. Kissing her. My tongue slips into her mouth, and I taste her sweetness. She unbuttons my pants and I stand up so that I can pull them off while she pulls off her own jeans. It is an almost frantic rush. She lays naked on the couch, and I lay on top of her, pressing my body against hers. I pull her legs apart and push myself between them. Rubbing my pulsing cock against the outside of her pussy, she moans and lifts her hips trying to guide me into her. She is so wet I cannot resist and my cock slides into her, plunging into her tight pussy as it clamps over me and her body shudders. I bury my face in her neck and thrust into her. Hard and fast. The frustration of today is all being released as I push into her over and over again. She arches her back and turns her face to muffle her cries into the pillow as her body begins to shake and convulse. She orgasms much sooner than I expect and much more intensely than I expect. I push hard into her and feel her vagina muscles wave over my cock, pulsing and pulling me. I release into her. It is the best stress relief a man could wish for.
"That was really intense," she whispers in my ear. I kiss her neck again, wrapping my arms around her back. I lay there for a moment realizing there is no way that I can tell her what the contract says.
"Baby, I am absolutely exhausted. I know you prepared everything for me for dinner and everything but honestly, I need to go home and sleep."
Her fingers dance over my scalp sending shivers down my spine. She kisses my head softly.
"Go and rest, gorgeous. We can chat tomorrow. We can have leftovers for breakfast and go for a morning walk. But go and rest."
I make my way home. Ashamed that I had left her like that. Stressed because I had not told her what was really going on. Exhausted and worried because of what my ex-wife had put in the contract.
As a father, I know the right choice I had to make, but I am desperate to find a loophole, even though there seems to be no way around this. In my heart, I feel I have already lost Gianna, because how can I ever not choose my son?
CHAPTER21
GIANNA
Hudson has been avoiding me.
I do not know if he is just tired and stressed or if it is something more. My instincts are telling me it is something more. He never came for breakfast this morning and when I went to knock on his door no one was home. He had left so early and without a word. No message or phone call.
I dial his number, feeling anxious.
Relief washes through me when he answers. "Hi, beautiful." His voice is strained. He must be exhausted.
"Good morning, you. You missed our breakfast and our walk."
