The next few weeks were a whirlwind. Adrian's announcement made headlines across the world. His personal life had become the topic of conversation in every boardroom and café. Some supported him, others criticized him for making such a bold move. But for Adrian, the opinions of the world no longer mattered.
However, Emily's life was a little more complicated. Despite her relief at finally being able to share her son with the world, she felt a wave of anxiety at the constant attention. The paparazzi followed her wherever she went, and her phone was flooded with messages from people she had not heard from in years.
But Adrian stood by her, always protecting her from the storm that raged around them.
"I never imagined it would be like this," Emily said one evening as she sat on their balcony, watching the city lights twinkle in the distance.
Adrian joined her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. "I know it's overwhelming, but we're in this together. Nothing will come between us."
Emily smiled, leaning her head on his chest. "I've missed this. Just being with you, no secrets, no walls between us."
Adrian kissed her forehead. "We've been through so much. But we're stronger now."
