We headed to a baby store known for its cute selection. As we walked around, Leon seemed excited to pick out the items. Watching him try to play the good father made my feelings mixed.“Come on, look at these,” he said, holding up a pair of brightly colored baby clothes. “Isn’t it cute?”Grinning widely, I nodded in agreement. 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. If only I were still a wife, maybe this would be sweeter—being a happy wife, having a husband who welcomed twins with me.But deep down, I also knew that I would never regret my decision to get a divorce.

Ariane’s POV “Okay, Leon. I just want to make sure everything is okay,” I said, conveying my uncertainty. “But I know this is none of my business anymore…”He nodded slowly, seeming to understand. “Trust me. I’ll take care of this. The most important thing for us right now is you and the kids. Don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything,” he said, encouraging me.Leon walked away, and as I watched him leave the apartment, I felt a mix of emotions. Even though we were no longer together as a couple, the responsibilities and concerns between us were still there. This situation was a reminder of how complicated the world around us was, but I was determined to stay focused on the more important things—the family I would soon have and creating a safe environment for them. “I’m not going back to Leon,” I said firmly, even though no one was there to hear me. My words echoed in my heart and mind as if confirming my decision. This was the path I was on and

Ariane’s POV The man took the flowers and walked away, his face full of confidence and a smile on his lips. Seeing him leave with that enthusiasm made me feel happy. In the midst of my complicated life, this small interaction added color to my day.As a pregnant woman, I also feel the desire to give my best, and seeing others try to win the hearts of those they love makes me think.

Ariane’s POV Soon, I began to plan what to do with the red roses—would I keep them as keepsakes, or would there be an opportunity to share new stories with people who cared about me? As time went on, all of these questions would be answered. I didn’t feel like opening my heart to new love yet. I was still traumatized by my previous love experience—a love that was unrequited and full of pain. The pain was hard to forget, and even though I wanted to move on, my heart still felt uncertain.With that in mind, I kept the red roses I had found earlier and placed them in a vase. The presence of the flowers in the living room gave a different feel, with their fragrant scent filling the air and creating a warm atmosphere in my apartment. The flowers were a symbol of hope, even though I wasn’t sure when I would be fully ready to welcome love again. After arranging the flowers, I felt hungry and decided to order food online.

Ariane's POVAfter work, the pain in my stomach suddenly hit me, making me stagger. Every second felt more painful, and I felt like I was on the verge of helplessness. “Oh no, this can’t happen now!” I complained, trying to endure the increasing pain. As I tried to find a place to rest, I suddenly felt someone’s hand on my back, helping me support. “Are you okay?” asked a man next to me. He seemed to be the man who usually bought flowers at my shop every night at 9. However, in this emergency, I felt hesitant to accept help from a stranger. “I—I don’t need help,” I replied, trying to be firm even though the pain was getting worse. “You definitely need help. It seems like you can’t take it anymore. Come on, I’ll take you to the hospital,” he said, and I could feel the sincerity in his voice. Finally, I nodded weakly, not wanting to be stubborn when my condition was so urgent. There was no other choice. I felt so weak and needed help.

Ariane’s POV“It’s important to rest,” my soul whispered, encouraging me not to push myself in the midst of a pregnancy that was already entering its final stages. I swiftly flopped onto the soft couch, letting my breathing slow and steady as the afternoon approached.The quiet moment gave me space to reflect. In the silence of the apartment, I imagined the future—living with my child, making him the center of my life, giving him all the love and attention I had always dreamed of. However, I also had to admit the worry that lurked inside me. I felt like I had fought and grown through so much, but the days ahead would certainly be challenging. Facing the future of motherhood alone was scary. But the wolf inside me kept reminding me that I could do it.I closed my eyes for a moment, letting the silence flow into me. As I rested, I hoped that the strength of my soul and the love my child gave me would carry me through each challenge that lay ahead.

Ariane’s POVAfter he disappeared from sight, I stepped into the office. The busy and bustling atmosphere with the sound of typing on the keyboard and the chatter of my coworkers immediately greeted me. However, my mind couldn’t fully focus on work. The beautiful flowers that Mark bought were still in my head, giving a new color to my day. As time went by, I started to finish the work that was waiting. Every time I thought of Mark, I felt a warm feeling flowing. Even though I was still traumatized by my past relationship, his presence seemed to give a new light to my life that had been dark. In the midst of my business, every now and then, I glanced towards the window, hoping to see Mark again. Suddenly, the sound of the phone ringing startled me. It was my mother. “Hi, Ariane! How are you today?” my mother asked in a cheerful tone. “Okay, Mom. Work as usual. And… yes, I’m fine,” I answered a little hesitantly. I didn’t want to worry Mom

Ariane’s POVAfter a few moments, Leon took a deep breath, seemingly struggling between emotion and reality. Finally, he decided to leave, leaving some of the heavy air behind. “Okay, if that’s what you want, Ariane,” he said before leaving the room. After he left, I shook my head, feeling a little relieved but also tired. The atmosphere that had been warm with Mark now felt tense. “I’m sorry if this feels uncomfortable, Mark,” I said, trying to cool things down. “It’s okay, Ariane. This is probably part of the process you have to go through. I’m here if you need support,” Mark replied, his smile once again patting away the emptiness in my heart. As I continued my work, I knew this wasn’t over yet, but I could feel my inner strength slowly starting to recover.

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. It felt like there was something I couldn’t let go of, something that kept reminding me of the pain I had experienced. “Hey, are you okay?” Mark asked softly.

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.

Mark brought out the food that had been prepared. “Time for lunch!” he said. We sat together, enjoying sandwiches and fresh fruit while enjoying the beautiful view of the sea.

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
