The Proud CEO

Chapter 24: Letters to Baby



Eliana began writing letters.

Not emails. Not journal entries. Letters—handwritten, sealed in envelopes, and tucked away in a small wooden box beside her bed.

"Dear Baby," the first began, "today your father yelled at five lawyers, fired two people, and brought me mangoes at 3 a.m. I think that's love."

She wrote when she was scared. When she was proud. When she needed to remind herself that this moment—this messy, beautiful chaos—was worth remembering.

Adrian found the box one night.

He didn't open it. Just stared at it like it held pieces of her soul.

"You're writing to the baby?" he asked.

She nodded. "I want them to know who we were before they came. That we were complicated. That we tried."

He kissed her forehead.

"I want them to know you saved me," he whispered.

Later that night, she added a new letter.

"Dear Baby,

Your father cries in his sleep sometimes. He thinks I don't notice. But I do. I just hold him tighter. I think love means staying—even when it hurts."
