Victoria approached me then, her movements fluid and seductive. "She likes you," she murmured, trailing her fingers down my

arm.

"Does she know?" I asked. "That I'm her real father?"

Victoria's smile was enigmatic. "She knows you're special to us."

Before I could press further, she leaned in and kissed me. The familiar taste of her lips sent heat coursing through my veins, momentarily clouding my judgment.

She led me to the bathroom, away from Emma's room, her intentions clear in every touch.

She was looking for the evidence, just as I'd anticipated.

Her frustrated expression told me she'd found nothing. Of course not-I wasn't foolish enough to keep it on my phone.

When she finally returned to bed, I allowed myself a small, secret smile. Victoria had always underestimated me. That would be

her downfall.

"Emma loves swimming," she said over breakfast. "Don't you, sweetheart?"

Emma nodded enthusiastically, her eyes bright with excitement. "Can we go today?"

"I'd love that," I replied, my chest tight with happiness at the prospect of spending time with my daughter.

"Perfect," Victoria smiled. "We'll go back to pack some things. Meet us there at noon?"
