Alex fought his way through suffocating traffic just to get home. If there had been a place for it to land, he would’ve already had a helicopter summoned to pluck him straight out of the chaos.

By the time the chauffeur drove into his residence, night had fully fallen.

“Good night, sir.” The chauffeur bowed after handing over the keys.

“En.” Alex responded with a low grunt and headed inside. The moment he pushed the door open, an unfamiliar sensation crept over him.

Lovett had finished unpacking earlier and neatly set her and her daughter’s belongings to one side of the living room.

The instant Alex stepped inside, something soft crashed into his shins.

He wouldn’t have noticed—if it hadn’t been warm.

Warm… and fluffy.

His gaze dropped.

A pair of the cutest eyes he had ever seen stared back at him, sparkling with excitement. Tiny arms wrapped firmly around his legs as a small voice rang out—

“Daddy!”

The sound hit him like melting ice cream poured straight into his ears.

His heart

    An hour into the meeting…“Mrs. Vargas, is that a concrete idea?” The CEO tilted his head slightly as he spoke fluently in Turkish.Mrs. Vargas, the Managing Director of Rykard Industries Istanbul branch, shifted uncomfortably in her seat. So did everyone else on the call.They all knew that when the president of their corporation asked questions like that, he wasn’t really asking. He was stating a fact.Indirectly, he meant her proposal was unreasonable.“The model is currently in progress, sir. As soon as—”“Wrap it up quickly,” CEO Alex cut in, his tone final. “We don’t have months.”At that moment, the woman sleeping soundly on the soft chair stirred.Lovett groaned softly as her eyes fluttered open. As her senses returned, she noticed the unfamiliar surroundings.'Where am I?'Then it hit her. 'Reema!'She shot upright.“Mommy!” Reema had been engrossed in her cartoon, but the sudden movement made her look up instantly.“Oh, baby!”Mother and daughter hugged each other tightly.U

    A few seconds passed as they stared at each other, neither blinking.“Does it hurt?” The man’s deep, regal voice finally broke the silence.Lovett felt dazed. Who exactly was this man? He was nothing like the aggressive, domineering person she had first met a few months ago.Finding her voice at last, she took two steps back. “Er… no.”“Get your things. We’re going home.”Home.Lovett froze for a brief second. The way the word rolled so easily off his tongue...Pushing the thought aside, she opened the car door and picked up her handbag.At the CEO's signal, Gerald appeared instantly.Alex took Lovett’s car key and handed it to him. “Let’s go. My assistant will handle your car.”Gerald’s mouth fell open.His boss was dumping him?!Without further delay, the CEO guided his wife into his car. He took the driver’s seat and sped off.This was cruelty at its peak! Gerald scowled as the vehicle disappeared down the road. Pulling out his phone, he dialed a number.“My boss is a bully! Let’s

    “Er… and who would that be, sir?” she asked.“Reema Larson.”The headmistress’ brows knitted for a moment before her eyes widened in realization. She was very familiar with that name. Wasn’t the girl a newcomer?She was President Hudson's daughter?!“I’ll go fetch her for—”“No. Take me to her classroom.”Headmistress Susanna nodded at once and led the way.Soon, they arrived.As Alex stepped into the classroom, his eyes immediately found the little girl seated in the front row. Reema sat upright, her eyes bright and alert, as though she had been waiting impatiently for someone.“Hey, Teddy.” Alex shrugged off his overcoat as he approached.The moment Reema saw him, her face lit up. She jumped out of her chair and ran toward him.“Daddy!”Smiling, Alex bent down and wrapped her in a warm hug.Reema’s teacher, who had been waiting for a parent to arrive, rose from her seat and approached the father-daughter pair.Usually, it was the little girl’s mother who came to pick her up.

    ——— It had been over a month of space-hunting, yet there was still no progress. Every day, Lovett followed real estate agents from one neighborhood to another, only to be disappointed each time. The buildings were either poorly maintained, lacked exposure, outrageously overpriced, or already taken. At this point, she was thoroughly fed up. Still, giving up wasn’t an option. This was her dream. So early that morning, the moment she received a call from yet another agent, she sped off to meet him—right after dropping Reema at school. Now, at four in the afternoon, she regretted even answering that call. Every place the man had shown her was hideous. Some weren’t even completed. A complete waste of time. A waste of energy. A waste of resources. They had parted ways barely twenty minutes ago. And twenty minutes later, her car had broken down—right in the middle of a heavy downpour. Stuck by the roadside, rain pounding against her windows, Lovett felt utterly exasper

    --- Days rolled by quickly after the couple registered their marriage. Despite living under the same roof, Alex and Lovett rarely spoke. In fact, they mostly only saw each other at night—over dinner. Reema, however, was a completely different story. She and her new dad talked at every opportunity. She insisted he read her bedtime stories, told him about her day every single evening, and clung to him whenever she could. Coincidentally, Reema was even in the same class as Alex’s young nephew, Henry. The father and daughter seemed to enjoy each other’s company immensely, making Lovett feel more like a third wheel in their home. --- It was the weekend, so Amanda didn’t have to go to work. She and her cousin-sister, Ashley, had agreed to meet up to continue the conversation they’d started days earlier on phone. Ashley hadn’t understood what Amanda was ra

    The Following Day By the time Lovett finished dressing her daughter for school, the Big Bad Demon had already left for work. She got into the car and drove Reema to school. Along the way, she noticed the little girl’s unusually downcast expression. “What’s the matter, honey?” Lovett asked, glancing at her through the rearview mirror. “What’s wrong?” Reema shook her head without a word. “There’s definitely something,” Lovett said gently. “Talk to Mommy, baby.” After a moment of hesitation, Reema finally spoke. “Daddy…” Just that single word, and Lovett already knew what was troubling her. Her heart softened instantly. “Baby, you’ll see Daddy this evening when he comes back from work,” she said with a warm smile. “He only left early because he has to work hard to provide for Little Reema.” At those words, the little girl’s face brightened.
