Ethan continued, meeting Mrs. Anderson's unwavering stare. "You know, since Olivia is so close to Mia, I didn't want there to be any awkwardness, Mom."Mrs. Anderson gets convinced by their words, her expression softening."Well, that certainly puts my mind at ease," she said with a warm smile. "I know how much Mia values your friendship, Olivia. And Ethan, it's good to see you looking out for my daughter, even when she's not around."Mia thought to herself, 'Mom, I know you trust Ethan. It’s going to take more than this to break that trust. However, I'm your daughter too, and I'm not going to back down until you admit that maybe Ethan isn't the right choice for me after all. That you made a mistake in letting me marry him?'Mrs. Anderson placed a hand on Ethan's arm, giving him an understanding nod. "Mia is so fortunate to have the two of you in her life. It's a comfort to know she has such a caring friend and husband looking out for her."Ethan's heart sank as Mrs. Anderson's words

Ethan's throat felt dry as he see Olivia's searching look ask him. How will you respond? What will you say to justify putting a career over family? After everything, can you still look her in the eye and lie? Ethan cleared his throat, avoiding Olivia's piercing gaze. "You're absolutely right, Mom. Starting a family is very important to me as well. It's just… a matter of timing." He gave a reassuring nod, though his eyes betrayed a flicker of discomfort."But I appreciate your wisdom. Mia and I will keep an open discussion about it."Mrs. Anderson looked at Ethan approvingly. "I'm glad to hear you say that, Ethan. It's not my intent to pressure you both. I just want to make sure you don't let this precious time slip away from you.""You'll make wonderful parents when the moment is right. A new baby would bring so much joy and meaning to your lives together." Mia's mom reached over and patted Ethan's hand warmly."Just don't wait too long. As your mother-in-law, I have to look out for

"Idiots," Olivia hisses under her breath, then looks at Ethan with a piercing gaze. "Are you following me, Ethan? I thought you were a faithful husband."Ethan's eyebrows raise at her accusation, and he scoffs. "Well, I didn't know you owned this park, just like last time I didn't know you owned that restaurant. If I had known that this place belongs only to you, My Queen, I would've never even dreamed of trespassing into your territory."At his word, Olivia felt a surge of frustration and anger. I didn't know why, Ethan, you're effecting me so much that I forget about my surrounding. Shrugging her shoulders, she said, "Smartass."Ethan's eyes widened at her retort, and he ask, "Are you serious?"Olivia realizes her slip and quickly tries to cover up. "I was asking about your ass-phone. You said it broke, right?"She closes her eyes for slipping again, "I... I mean your smartphone." She felt flustered, her cheeks flushing slightly at her unintentional innuendo. "You said your phone br

He lunged forward towards the girl and the puppy, scooping them up in his arms. He jumped to the other side of the road. His heart pounded in his chest as he felt the rush of air against his face. With a thud, Ethan hit the ground on his back, clutching the girl and puppy tightly to his chest. He shielded them with his body as the car rush past, the screech of tires echoing in his ears. The sound of the crash reverberated through the air as the collided with the pavement. For a moment, he felt like time had stopped. Everything went silent except for his own heartbeat. Then the girl started wailing, and the puppy squirmed in his arms. Ethan looked down at the crying girl cradled against him and sat up. He consoled her "Shh, you're safe now, princess. See everything is okay? The little puppy is safe, too." Gently checking her over for any injuries. "Are you hurt anywhere, baby?" He asked softly. The girl shook her head no amidst her sobs. He stroked her hair soothingly. "Shh, please

Ethan laughed at her request. "You want Puppy to come home with you?""Your mama doesn't like dogs, baby," her grandfather said gently. "We can't take the puppy home."Isabella's face fell at his words. "No, puppy?" She looked so heartbroken that Ethan's heart melted."Hey now, no tears," Ethan said, giving her hand a squeeze. "Puppy has to stay here, but you'll see other cute puppies another day, okay, princess?"Sniffling, Isabella nodded before waving sadly. "Bye bye, Puppy."John mouthed "thank you" to Ethan once more before turning to leave. As they left, Ethan felt that warmth mixed with a tinge of sadness at Isabella's disappointment. But he knew her bright spirit wouldn't stay dimmed for long.As Isabella and her grandfather John left the ice cream shop and walked a short distance, Isabella suddenly shouted excitedly, "Mama! Mama!" She wiggled out of John's arms and took off running."Isabella!" John called after her, but the little girl had already launched herself into the a

"Mia, I can't do that in front of our parents it's ridiculous! What will they think of me if I start holding Olivia's hand and flirt with her right in front of them?" Ethan looked at Mia with disbelief."But that's what we have to show to our parents. We have to convince them that you're flirting with Olivia. Only in this way we can make our plan successful. Only in this way we will be able to get divorced. Why don't you understand, Ethan? This is the most important step for our plan," Mia said.I'm willing to help convince them Olivia and I have something going on between us through more subtle means lingering glances, standing a bit too close, that sort of thing. But I won't cross obvious lines of decency in front of our family. Our parents deserve to be treated with respect, even if we disagree with their decision on our marriage. Pulling a stunt like that will only make the situation more volatile. Please, I'm asking you to reconsider this approach."My Mom are completely inflexi

"Olivia, Ethan was about to spill details of our plan right in front of our parents! Thanks to you for talking with mom while coming here, I was able to stop him from revealing more by kissing him."She glanced around furtively before continuing. "You have to be bold and take matters into your own hands. Make Ethan act according to our plan."Olivia felt a rush of relief that Mia had been the one to instigate the surprising kiss she witnessed earlier. At least it wasn't Ethan making unwanted advances.However, a lingering doubt crept into Olivia's mind. What if Ethan did have feelings for Mia, even if he hadn't acted on them openly yet? The idea made Olivia's stomach knot with worry.Hearing Mia's words, Ethan felt the ground had slipped beneath his feet and he couldn't control his inner turmoil. A tear fell from his eyes and he abruptly stood up, collecting the broken glass shards."Don't you ever dare kiss me like that again, Mia. I will not tolerate anything you do without my conse

“Even if it’s not love,” Olivia finished for him, her tone neutral but her eyes watching him closely. She saw the way his expression shifted—hesitation, maybe even guilt.“I don’t know,” Ethan said after a pause, his voice barely above a whisper. “Maybe in some ways I thought after the marriage with Mia, everything is normal in our relationship. Or maybe it’s just me trying to make sense of it all.”Olivia forced a smile, though her chest tightened at his words. So, he might already have feelings for Mia she thought, her earlier confidence shaken. She had thought tonight would give her clarity—about Ethan, about the way he looked at her with a mix of fascination and restraint. But now, it felt as though they were wading into murkier waters, and she wasn’t sure either of them knew the way out.“That’s fair,” she composed her emotions. With a forced smile. “It’s okay, Ethan, not to have all the answers yet. Sometimes, they come when you least expect them.”He studied her for a moment, a

“Let’s see if you can keep your cool,” Olivia whispered, her voice like velvet, “or if I can make you crack.”Ethan felt his throat go dry again, but he forced himself to keep his composure. “You can try,” he said, his tone daring, though his eyes gave away his growing fascination. “But just remember, I’m not that easy to break.”“Oh, I know,” Olivia replied, her voice barely a whisper now, low and dripping with intent. She reached out, her fingers trailing over his hand, the touch sending a shiver up his spine. “But I think tonight I might just be willing to make an exception for you.” Ethan’s breath hitched as Olivia’s fingers lingered on his hand, her touch light yet electric. It was an innocent enough gesture, but the subtle caress held layers of unspoken meaning, each one laced with both temptation and danger. He knew she was testing him, pushing just far enough to see if he’d push back.He cleared his throat, pulling his hand back just slightly as he took a long sip of his wine

Ethan sat at the restaurant, checking his watch and looking around, he replayed his conversation with Olivia. When he’d called earlier, offering to pick her up, she’d insisted on taking her own car, explaining it would make it easier for them to go home separately—just in case he got an urgent call. She didn’t want him to have to detour, dropping her off if he needed to rush off for duty. It struck him how considerate she was, understanding the demands of his job as a police officer, and he felt a genuine respect for her. It was rare, he thought, to meet someone who truly understood the importance of that responsibility.Mia, She got it too. She understood what it meant to live with the phone, always within reach, always waiting for the next call. Yet, sometimes, she’d throw in a small performance in-front of his mom, acting like he puts the job first—something that amused and bewildered him in equal measure. She would sigh, casting him that theatrical, sidelong look, as if he was the

"Ethan," she cut him off, "sometimes I wonder if that dog is more important to you than your family. We hardly see you these days, and when we do, you're always rushing off to walk Mango or take him to the vet or buy him treats.""Mom, that's not true," Ethan protested, but his mom continued. "We're your family, Ethan. We should come first. Not that animal. Now come quick. Your food is getting cold.""Mom I know you're my family but your emotional drama isn't going to work from the last week you're staying at my house and using every trick to make me not have mango at our place. Still, I love you too, the Moon. I'm on my way," Ethan When he looked up, he noticed that John, Bella, and the women had already disappeared into the growing darkness of the park. He stood there for a moment, feeling a strange mix of longing and disappointment, before turning to head home, Mango trotting obediently at his heels.At 11 pm, Olivia stood in the kitchen, her hands wrapped around a steaming mug of

“Family is a precious thing,” John said. “And sometimes it comes in unexpected ways, but it is always worth fighting for it.”Ethan turned to John with a bewildered, yet interested, gaze. He began to speak and before he could utter any word, there was the sound of Bella’s voice rang through the air.“Supe’hewo, look” Bella’s excited voice interrupted. “Mango sit! He did it!”When the two men looked back, they were surprised to see the puppy sitting calmly with his tail going round, as Bella was feeding him the treat. Ethan's face lit up with pride smile."That's amazing, princess! You're such a good teacher," he praised, ruffling Bella's hair affectionately.John looked at the interaction, and his eyes became all tender. “You know, Ethan, seeing you with Bella... it reminds me of my daughter when she was that age." The way you look at her, it’s... well, it’s how a father looks at his daughter.Ethan's breath caught in his throat. He looked at John and then at Bella, who was now attemp

*** Few Moments Before ***Bella's eyes lit up with joy as she spotted Ethan playing with the puppy. She picked up the ball and ran towards them, her little legs carrying her as fast as they could."Puppy! Supe'hero!" Bella called out in her adorable g out in excitement.Ethan looked up, his lips turned into a wide smile as he saw Bella running towards him. His eyes sparkled with affection as he opened his arms wide."Come here, you little Barbie girl," he called out playfully.Bella giggled as she launched herself into Ethan's waiting arms. He caught her effortlessly, lifting her high in the air before bringing her close to his chest."Aww, I missed you too, Princess," Ethan said softly, his voice filled with warmth. He showered her chubby cheeks with quick, playful kisses, causing Bella to burst into a fit of giggles."Supe'hero, stop." she squealed between laughs, her little hands pushing at his face.After a moment, Bella's giggles subsided, and she looked down at the puppy waggin

Ethan stood outside the NYPD precinct, staring at the sign. It was noon, and he had been contemplating whether to go inside and face Cliff or go back home and face Mia taunts again. The weight of his choices pressed down on him. Ethan ruffled his hair and huffed slightly, as if annoyed and frustrated. He looked at his watch, wrenching his hand, and whispered, "I can't avoid him. I have to face Cliff."I screamed inside, wondering which life I would rather have: the craziness of last night's forgetting or the current appalling situation."It's all because of Mia," I thought. "She shouldn't have brought Olivia there." My mind drifted to Olivia and what she must think of me now. First, I proposed a fake marriage to Mia, then Mia wanted a divorce from this fake marriage through a fake mistress act, and last night, I punched my colleague while drunk and couldn't even remember why. "Of course, she'll think I'm a terrible person," I thought bitterly. "Every time we meet, she misunderstands me

Her heart racing as if it were competing with a rocket. She could hardly breathe as Ethan's hands gently cupped her face."Let me see," he whispered. He leaned in closer, his breath warm against her skin as he carefully blew air into her eyes.Mia closed her eyes, feeling a rush of sensations. It felt like she was in heaven, her stomach filling with butterflies at the tenderness of his touch. The intimacy of the moment made her chest ache with a longing she had been trying to suppress."There, better?" Ethan asked, his voice tender.Mia opened her eyes slowly, looking into his with a mixture of gratitude and sadness. "Yes, thank you," she whispered, trying to steady her racing heart.For a moment, they simply gazed at each other, the unspoken emotions hanging heavily between them.Ethan's brow furrowed, and he strokes her cheek. "Mia, please, talk to me. What's going on?"Ethan's thumb stroked her cheek, sending a shiver down her spine. His touch was so tender, so full of concern, tha

Ethan stirred on the bed as the morning sunrays streamed through the window, casting a warm glow on his face. He groaned, pulling the covers over his head to block out the light. Just as he began to drift back to sleep, he felt the covers being slowly pulled away from his face.He groaned again, turning over and trying to shield his eyes with his hands. But then he felt someone tugging at his hands, determined to wake him up. A familiar voice pierced through his sleepy haze.“Wake up, sleepyhead. You didn’t let me sleep last night, and now look at you, sleeping like a baby.”Ethan cracked one eye open, blinking against the bright light. He saw Mia leaning over him, a teasing smile on her face. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, her hair tousled and her eyes bright with amusement.“Come on,” she said, giving his arm another gentle tug. “You can’t hide under the covers all day.”Ethan groaned and mumbled, “Just a few more minutes, Mia. My head is hurting like hell.”Mia raised an e
