"Ethan," she began, her voice wavering slightly, "I've been thinking... considering our situation, maybe it's time we end this charade." Ethan, engrossed in a book, looked up, his eyes meeting hers. "End what, Mia?" he asked, his tone gentle yet curious. "Our marriage, Ethan," Mia said, her words hanging heavy in the air. "It's not real, and we both know it. We're living a lie, and I can't keep pretending anymore." Ethan placed his book aside, his expression serious. "I understand it's not ideal, Mia. But we made a commitment to our families. We can't just throw it all away because it's difficult." "But what if there's another way?" Mia suggested, her voice gaining strength. "What if we stage a cheating scandal? "Mia, I can't agree to something like that. It's dishonest, and it would hurt both our families. I won't play a part in such a deceitful plan." **** Ethan's voice, low and filled with desire, broke the sultry silence. "You look absolutely enchanting tonight, Olivia." Olivia's eyes smoldered with seduction as she replied, "And you, Ethan, are simply irresistible. This dinner is a feast for more than just our appetites." Their hands grazed each other, sending electric pulses of desire through their bodies. Ethan leaned in closer to Olivia, his voice a seductive murmur. "I can't resist your charms, Liv. You have a way of igniting my deepest desires." Olivia's lips curved into a seductive smile as she replied, "And you, Ethan, have a magnetic pull that's impossible to resist. Our little secret is driving me wild."

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
My grip on Mia tightened slightly, my frustration palpable. But before I could respond, Mia leaned closer, her breath hot against my ear. "You did great, Ethan," she whispered, "But look at Olivia. She's dancing with your friend. You should be jealous of her, not me." her voice dripping with sarcasm.Without waiting for his response, Mia pushed Ethan hard enough to make him stumble backward. He collided with Olivia, who was still dancing with Cliff. The sudden impact caused Olivia to lose her balance, and in trying to steady her, Ethan inadvertently knocked a drink out of someone's hand. The liquid splashed all over Cliff's shirt.Cliff looked down at his soaked shirt, a mix of annoyance and disbelief on his face. Before anyone could react, Mia's voice rang out, laced with fake concern. "You should wash that off," she said, winking at Ethan with a smirk.Ethan's anger flared, his chest tightening as he felt the heat rise to his face. His heart pounded in his ears, drowning out the sur
Ethan quickened his pace, but Mia stayed a step ahead, enjoying the game. She twirled and swayed, her dance becoming more sensual with each passing second. Ethan's friends around them watched in amused fascination, the tension between the two palpable.Finally, Ethan reached her, his hand catching her wrist and pulling her close. "Mia, enough," he said, his voice a mix of frustration and desire.Mia looked up at him, her breath coming in quick, shallow bursts. "Jealous, Ethan?" She asked, her tone playful yet edged with challenge.Ethan's grip tightened slightly, his eyes locking onto hers. "You know I am," he admitted, his voice low. "Let's take this somewhere else. We need to talk.""Why are you jealous? Isn't Olivia hotter than me?" Mia said, her eyes narrowing as she awaited for his response.Ethan's jaw clenched, a mix of frustration and longing churning inside him. He couldn't tear his eyes away from Mia, the heat between them growing with every second. Finally, he grabbed her w
"Whoa, Ethan! Didn't know you had it in you!" One called out. "Looks like someone just got daring!" Another joked. "He's going to regret drinking tonight," a third added with a laugh. "We might have to investigate his homicide tomorrow morning with a hangover!"Mia's expression was a mix of disbelief and hurt, a stark contrast to the carefree atmosphere around them. Olivia felt a pang of guilt, but the overwhelming emotions stirred by Ethan’s unexpected display of affection overshadowed it. As she clung to him, the reality of their situation settled in, and she knew that whatever happened next would change everything.Despite the weight of his marriage to Mia and the complexities of their situation, there was an undeniable comfort in having Olivia close.
