“You’re more nervous than I am,” Alice teased.
“I just want to be a good dad for our son,” he replied.
There was no cold calculation in his voice, only genuine care. A week later, Alice went into labor.
Nick was a nervous wreck as he drove her to the hospital. He didn’t let go of her hand for a second, staying right by her side.
When their son, Ben, let out his first cry, Nick felt tears of joy. Every corporate victory he’d ever had felt meaningless compared to this.
“He’s perfect,” he said, carefully holding his son. In that moment, he knew he’d found his true purpose.
In the months that followed, he became a devoted father, balancing his work with what really mattered.
Alice opened her own landscape design firm, successfully balancing her career and motherhood. Tiffany was gone for good, realizing her games had no place in their lives.
Nick and Alice often walked in their garden with little Ben. Nick would show his son the different plants, and Alice would watch them with a smile. “Who would have thought that deal would lead to this?” she said.
“It wasn’t a deal, Alice. It was life,” he said, pulling her close. Their story was proof that even after the worst mistakes, you can find your way to the light and build something beautiful. Ben was their future, a reminder that love always wins over pride.
Would you like me to add more details to this story or perhaps provide descriptions of the settings for your future projects?
