PART 5<\/em><\/h3>\n

The first months after Lucy was born were the hardest months of my life.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Not because of the sleepless nights.<\/em><\/p>\n

Not because of the endless diaper changes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Not because I was learning how to care for a tiny human who depended on me for everything.<\/em><\/p>\n

Those things were exhausting.<\/em><\/p>\n

But they were also beautiful.<\/em><\/p>\n

The hardest part was learning how to separate the man who hurt me\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

from the father my daughter deserved.<\/em><\/p>\n

Because those were two different people.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

And I had to learn how to see both clearly.<\/em><\/p>\n

Adrian kept his promise.<\/em><\/p>\n

He moved into a small apartment fifteen minutes away.<\/em><\/p>\n

Not the expensive place he once would have chosen.<\/em><\/p>\n

Not the luxury building with the rooftop pool and concierge.<\/em><\/p>\n

A simple apartment with old wooden floors, a small kitchen, and a balcony barely big enough for two chairs.<\/em><\/p>\n

The first time I visited to drop off Lucy\u2019s things, I noticed something strange.<\/em><\/p>\n

There were no excuses.<\/em><\/p>\n

No bottles of alcohol.<\/em><\/p>\n

No reminders of Rachel.<\/em><\/p>\n

No attempts to make me feel guilty.<\/em><\/p>\n

Just a clean apartment.<\/em><\/p>\n

A stack of parenting books.<\/em><\/p>\n

And a calendar covered with appointments.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pediatrician visits.<\/em><\/p>\n

Diaper schedules.<\/em><\/p>\n

Work meetings.<\/em><\/p>\n

Father-daughter time.<\/em><\/p>\n

He was trying.<\/em><\/p>\n

Not because he expected me to come back.<\/em><\/p>\n

Because he finally understood that being a good father wasn\u2019t something he could promise.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was something he had to prove.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rachel left the company two weeks after the baby shower.<\/em><\/p>\n

I heard about it through Mariana.<\/em><\/p>\n

Apparently, the investigation had become bigger than anyone expected.<\/em><\/p>\n

The company discovered that Adrian and Rachel had been manipulating reports to hide their relationship.<\/em><\/p>\n
