I quickly replied to her message. “Mom, this isn’t as easy as you think. Betrayal is no small matter. I need your support, not repeated blame. Please try to understand how it feels.”After sending that reply, I took a deep breath, trying to shake off the deep arrogance. I wanted to focus on this new journey in my life, even though I had to face challenges from outside and inside. And for now, I wanted to listen more to my voice and the needs of the children inside me.My life may be in turmoil, but I knew that I could find a way out.

Ariane’s POV “You are very good at serving customers. You are also beautiful,” the florist said with a warm smile. The words made me feel proud, and I couldn’t help but smile in response.“Thank you,” I replied, feeling the pleasure in the compliment. All my efforts and hard work felt like they had paid off when I heard such positive words.“Are you married?” he asked again, looking at me curiously.For a moment, I was silent. This question tickled my mind, bringing me to ponder the reality I was facing. Should I honestly say that I was divorced and pregnant? How would he react?“I...” my voice trailed off a little, searching for the right words. “I was married, but now I’m divorced,” I finally said, trying to explain without revealing too many details. “Right now, I’m pregnant.”Her face changed, seemingly a little surprised but then showing a sympathetic expression. “I don’t mean to intimidate you. I hope everything is okay. The g

Ariane’s POV “Just a little shocked,” I replied, feeling a mix of emotions inside me. On one hand, I felt detached from this conflict, but on the other, there was uncertainty about how I should respond to all of this. “Leon, you don’t have to do this,” I said softly, trying to ease the tension. “I can handle myself.” But Leon didn’t heed my words. “I won’t let anyone hurt you, Ariane. This isn’t about who’s wrong or right. I just want to protect you,” he said seriously, looking at me with deep concern. Isabella stood up angrily, but looked disappointed, as if she felt betrayed. “You can’t protect Ariane forever! She doesn’t deserve this!” I shouted, anger starting to boil over.The scene shook the ground around me, and even though I knew the situation was chaotic, I felt the acuteness of how difficult it was to keep my emotions in check.

I closed my eyes and imagined a future full of hope—days when I would hold these two babies, feeling the love and happiness they brought.

Ariane’s POV “Then I recommend purple orchids,” I said, showing the beautiful bunch of flowers. “They have an elegant beauty and can make a deep impression. They are perfect for conveying sincere feelings.” He nodded in agreement and ended up buying the flowers. During our brief conversation, he seemed sincere and serious about his intentions. I’m sure he hoped the flowers would make his ex-wife feel appreciated and bring back fond memories.After work, I went back to my apartment with my head full of thoughts. The moment earlier had been quite attention-grabbing, especially about how strong feelings people have, even though they’ve been separated. However, all those thoughts immediately disappeared when I arrived at my apartment door.When I arrived at the door, my eyes immediately fell on a bunch of purple orchids neatly placed in front of the door. My heart pounded when I realized that these were the flowers I had sold to the man earlier. “Who bo

Ariane’s POV The door opened, and my mother entered with a serious face. “Ariane, we need to talk,” she said matter-of-factly, looking at me intently.I felt wide awake now; a sense of annoyance and incomprehension was welling up inside me. But there was something in my mother’s gaze that made me momentarily consider listening. Her unexpected presence and concern brought me some relief, but not enough to calm my own pent-up anger.“Okay, go ahead and tell me what you want to talk about,” I said, reminding myself to stay calm even as my irritation lingered.Today didn’t seem to be going the way I had planned. But I knew that talking to my mother might give me a different perspective and perhaps add to my worries. Having her around might be a chance to reflect on what had happened, not just with Leon but with myself.“Have you met your father?” my mother asked seriously."What do you mean?" I replied, confusion engulfing me. In my min

Ariane’s POV Today, I am seven months pregnant. My belly is already very big, but I can still move around actively, which makes me feel proud. Despite some limitations, I still try to live my daily life as usual. "You don't have to work hard, Ariane. You are very pregnant," the flower shop owner said with concern, looking at my growing belly. "I still have no trouble. Besides, I can rest when I feel tired. My job is very comfortable," I said, giving myself and the shop owner confidence. I appreciated her concern and support, and I planned to stay active for as long as possible. After finishing the day's work, I started thinking about my plans after giving birth. I felt that after I gave birth, I would feel safe using a babysitter and would continue working. Having support to care for the children when I returned to work was a must so that I could find a balance between work and being a mother. With that determination, I started looking fo

Looking at the items I had picked out, I couldn’t help but smile. I picked out some adorable little shoes and supplies like blankets, bottles, and toys.Every single item we picked out made me feel so happy. I tried to savor the moment as much as I could.

Ariane’s POVOne day, as I sat on the porch, listening to the gentle whisper of the wind, memories of Leon came flooding back to me. Images of memories flashed through my mind—days of vision during our marriage that quickly turned into moments of tension. I took a deep breath, trying to push the images away. Suddenly, my phone vibrated. A text message came in from Mark, who was at work, asking if I wanted to go for a walk. I quickly answered it, trying not to show that I was feeling anxious. When we met, Mark had been cheerful and enthusiastic, trying to make me laugh. Every smile he gave me could erase a little of the darkness that was hanging over my mind. But as we walked under the moonlight, Leon’s shadow kept chasing me.

Ariane’s POVI sighed as I tended to the plants in the backyard. The scent of wet soil and the fragrance of blooming flowers reminded me of the good old days when I worked at a flower shop. Back then, my life was full of color and hope. However, now, my life felt more complicated with the presence of Leon, my ex-husband. After Mark left for work and the kids went to school, I felt as if the world around me was quiet. I recalled how Leon suddenly appeared a few weeks ago. Even though he was Zara and Zoya's biological father, his presence made me feel anxious. I didn't want anything to ruin the happiness I had built with Mark. "Why did he have to come now?" I thought as I trimmed some dry leaves from the rose plant. "We've built a new life, and I don't want the past to haunt us." I remembered the first time I met Mark at the flower shop. They shared the same love for plants and flowers. Mark was a patient and caring person, very different from Leon wh

Ariane’s POV "Oh yeah, how about we take the kids camping?" I asked Mark.Mark replied that there was an event this weekend at a restaurant and he had to be there as the chef. I sighed softly, trying to figure out how to explain to Zara and Zoya that our camping plans would have to be postponed. The two little girls always got excited whenever they heard about outdoor adventures. They loved the idea of sleeping in a tent, listening to the sounds of nature, and having a campfire and roasting marshmallows.“Okay, I’ll tell them,” I told Mark. “But we have to reschedule soon. They’ve been waiting for this.”Mark nodded, his face showing guilt. “I’m sorry, honey. I know how much they’ve been looking forward to this. Maybe we can plan for next weekend?”“Yeah, that’s a great idea. I’ll talk to them and make sure they understand,” I replied with a smile, trying not to sound too disappointed.After I finished talking to Mark, I

Mark’s POVAcross the table, Zoya, who was a few seconds younger than Zara, chimed in, as if she didn’t want to lose attention. “We will always love each other, right, Daddy?”I nodded firmly, holding Zoya’s hand gently. “Yes, love is the most important thing. No matter what happens, we will always love each other.” Both children smiled, relieved to hear my calming words. In the corner of the table, Ariane, my wife, also smiled. She witnessed how I struggled and succeeded in rebuilding the warmth of our family since the divorce.“Daddy, how did Daddy and Mama meet?” Zara asked again, now in a lighter tone, as if the conversation had lifted a burden from her shoulders. My eyes sparkled as I remembered her past. “Oh, it’s a long story, Zara. I always met your mother at the flower shop where your mother worked. Since then, we have been inseparable.”Zoya, who loved hearing her parents’ stories, became even more interested. “Is it like in a fairy tale

Mark’s POV After a moment that was too long, I finally took a deep breath. "I will not fight you, Leon. I will choose our love over violence." Leon nodded in understanding, although there was disappointment in his eyes. "Very well, Mark. You win this time. But don't think that this fight is over. I will come back and try again." With that, Leon left us. I felt relieved that I had managed to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, but I was still afraid of the threat that continued to lurk in my family. Ambiguity. That's how I feel now. It was unclear whether our future would be safe or not. But one thing was for sure: I would do everything I could to protect my family as a husband and a father. Because love and family are everything to me, and I will fight to the death for them.Days passed, and I tried to stay positive.

Every night, when we gathered for dinner, we would share stories about our day. Zara and Zoya would tell us about their friends at school, while Mark would share his experiences at the restaurant.

At home, they sat at the dining table, and Zara began to explain further. "Mia said, we can draw anything we like. I already have an idea! I want to draw a colorful flower garden!" Zoya listened intently, imagining the cheerful drawing. After dinner, the two of them went to their room to start planning their drawing. Zara took out paper and colored pencils, while Zoya watched attentively. "How about we draw together? We can make one big drawing!" suggested Zoya, who usually preferred to work alone. Zara immediately agreed, and they began to draw. Zara drew bright flowers, while Zoya added a backgrou
