The fucking Jack must have planned something for his only daughter. The man called at a sudden moment when his daughter was in the middle of a row with the man she loved. Fiona pursed, then looked at Steve who was waiting for her statement. She gave an indescribable look, but Steve knew what she meant.

"Is your dad planning something?" asked Steve. "Matchmaking?"

Fiona sighed. "I don't know," she said. "My dad always does unexpected things as usual."

"Want me to deliver?"

"No." Fiona hurriedly replied. "If he knew you, he would be a big temper."

"Why not? I'm just as happy—"

"No, Steve. You know my family, don't you? Yes, that's what it is."

Fiona couldn't explain much and Steve certainly understood what she was saying. The man snored softly. He nodded, then turned to the nightstand beside the bed.

"Where's your phone?" he asked,

Fiona then gave Steve her phone before the man finally gave her a number. She picked up the phone that had already listed the contact name 'My dear' on the screen of her device.

"Call me if you need help," Steve said.

Fiona smiled amusedly and nodded. So much so in love was Steve that he gave his contact with a name that she thought was very romantic. Steve kissed her forehead, then went back to slowly putting their lips together.

"I'll be back quickly," Fiona whispered, reciprocating a nod from Steve. "Don't go anywhere."

"I'm not interested in any other woman but you," Steve joked, which was immediately reciprocated by Fiona.

***

Fiona snorted. Her bead stared at a man she was of course familiar with. He's Sam Smith, the future CEO of S Group and her college friend. Jack certainly knew Sam because the man used to visit his house a lot.

"Dad just wants the best for you," Jack said.

The woman named Fiona Aubrey snored softly. The same remarks that parents always say to their children. Jack didn't even understand Fiona, but the man now assumed that he knew everything.

"I don't want it," Fiona said without looking at the father.

"Fin." Jack made a sound, making the woman staring intently at him.

Fiona quickly got up from the sofa and was about to leave. However, a hand blocked her arm. The woman turned around, finding Sam standing nearby. She hurriedly removed the block.

"I know we're friends, but I hope you remember your promise first," she said.

Sam sighed. There was a sense that had been deep down since his encounter with Fiona during college and hadn't gone away completely until now. It is difficult for him to state this even though he is in front of the beautiful woman now.

Fiona turned around, then left the man and the father who stepped up to catch up with her. Jack shouted his girl's name but was held back by Sam.

"Let me follow her," Sam said.

***

"Fin, Fiona!" exclaimed Sam in the parking lot. He caught up, even getting in front of the woman now. Both hands on his back blocked Fiona's steps.

Fiona sighed irritably. "What do you want?" she asked.

"Just once."

"Once?" Fiona's hazel bead widened. "Once in a lifetime, you mean?"

Sam took a gulp. That's right! He only wanted Fiona to obey once in a lifetime by living with him, not with the others. "Fiona," he said. "It's not about us. It's about your father."

Fiona shook her head. "I will never obey his wishes until any time," she said. "Let me go."

“Fin. Fiona!”

Sam couldn't get in the way of the woman. He let Fiona into the car and drove her vehicle away from the venue. The man clucked irritably. He stared at his woman's departure for a moment, then got into the car and caught up with her. Sam wouldn't let Fiona go for a second.

***

Fiona got out of the car and closed the door of her vehicle aloud. She stepped into a house and banged on its door. Steve opened the wooden door and found his woman looking at him with teary eyes. It was only a few hours ago that Fiona left the house and now she had returned with a flushed face.

"What's wrong?" asked Steve. He invited Fiona in and immediately closed the door after casting a look around and making sure no one was Fiona all the way there.

The man led Fiona to sit down on the couch in front of the fireplace. He helped take off the woman's thick coat, enclosing her body with a blanket to keep warm. Meanwhile, Fiona begins to sob. The beads of her tears flowed down so brazenly.

"Talk to me," Steve said softly. He clasped his hands on both of the woman's cheeks as he wiped away the tears that flowed so fiercely.

Let alone speaking, just crying Fiona didn't make a sound. She sobbed around Steve and sobbed in the man's burst.

Steve himself just fell silent. While rubbing Fiona's back, he tried to look into the woman's heart. Until in the end, Fiona let go of the hug and lowered her head to hold back tears.

"What did your dad do?" asked Steve again. He wiped the tears lightly on Fiona's cheeks.

Fiona sighed. Even an inch of her didn't want to part with Steve, but recalling the arranged marriage Jack had made herself drain her tears again. "Dad matched me," she sobbed.

It was like being struck by lightning, but it didn't completely collapse Steve's heart. The man fell silent. His jaw tightened for an instant. He touched Fiona's chin, then raised the woman's gaze. "With whom?" he asked. "Who did your father match you with?"

Steve seemed impatient and it was true. He has the right to know whom his woman will marry later. Especially now that Fiona is pregnant with their baby. This makes Steve more protective and intense in treating Fiona like his own wife.

"Fiona, tell me," he said again. "Whatever, please, tell me now."

Fiona set the rhythm of her breathing. The look on the face of the man in front of her now looked serious. It was certain Steve would love to hear it, given how much he'd loved to live with Fiona since their first meeting. Her tears flowed down again and then were quickly wiped by Steve. The man didn't want the tears of a cornucopia to wet his entire face and clothes.

“Sam,” Fiona answered. “Sam Smith.”

For the sake of Zeus's lightning, now not only Steve's jaw tightened, but his whole body. The man froze speechlessly as if there was ice magic in Fiona's words just now. His saliva was swallowed through the cracks of his choked esophagus.

How come? He knew who the figure mentioned by Fiona was. Sam Smith is not new to Steve. He knew Sam even better when compared to Fiona. Both of his hands squeezed tightly with his annoyance piled even more inside his chest. Steve almost bluffed before a voice from outside the house unraveled his annoyance.

He looked up, staring through the window, and found someone had just visited his residence. Steve then ran close to the door and opened it. He didn't find anyone outside the house. Only the snow and Fiona's car started to get cold.

"Who was that?"

    Fiona tries to recall the matter of the Mariposa Hotel. What happened there? She tapped on the head, hoping the moment on the spot would turn fast again.Steve smiled faintly. "One night—""Stop!" interrupted the woman.The man in front of her frowned. "Why?"Fiona sighed. "Did I deliver something to that hotel?"Steve then chuckled. He doesn't think it's why the woman in front of him is so plain. "You really don't remember," he said. "We spent the night there, Stupid!"Zeus's flash of lightning seemed to strike Fiona instantly. The woman rounded her eyes, then thumped the table and made everyone in the tavern turn to her. She smiled until they all returned to their respective plates, then looked straight at the man in front of her."Don't be silly!" she snapped. "I know that I am famous, but it doesn't mean that you can play me with this kind of trick!"Steve sighed. He clasped both hands on the table, then fixedly looked at Fiona.

    Fiona spurred her car on the streets of the city. This year's end has been the worst in her opinion. The plume of snow that covered the road and made the wheels of her vehicle slip many times irritated the woman. One hand was holding a white envelope. Her face looked anxious while holding back tears.All those memories came out so clearly. About how the One Night Stand she did with a man named Steve almost two months ago met her. Fiona couldn't figure out why she didn't remember the Mariposa Hotel, even though Steve had given her a very clear clue."Fuck you, Steve!" she quipped as she hit the wheel.Fiona didn't know where else to go. She didn't find Steve anywhere. Let alone meeting the man, asking for his phone number or even his home address alone Fiona didn't know. If only there was the most stupid female coronation event in the world, maybe she would be the champion now.However, the other side seemed to make her remember.

    "You think I can just leave my job? For 9 months 10 days? During that time?"Steve sputtered, leaning his chin on both of his hands cupped over his thighs. He and Fiona had been sitting on the front sofa of the fireplace by now. They are discussing the future and plans that will be carried out next."I want to drop it."Steve's eyes widened. How could he hear those words from the woman? He shook his head quickly. "No. I don't agree.""Steve." Fiona looked at the man with faint eyes. "I have to work and I don't want my family to know about this.""But you can't make a decision casually, Fiona! He's your son too!" said Steve. Of course, although he is not pregnant, the baby is his child too and he must maintain it no matter what."I know! But I'm not ready yet, Steve!" retorted Fiona. "You know I work day and night for my family—""I'll support you!" interrupted Steve in an octave ascending tone. He glared at the woman.
