Jake sat beside Samantha on the edge of his bed in his hostel. His voice was calm but full of meaning.

“Samantha,” he began, voice soft,

“I’m taking you to see my dad.”

Samantha paused, looking up with wide eyes.

“Your dad? Really?”

Jake nodded, a smile tugging at his lips.

“Yeah. It’s time. He’s been asking about you.”

Samantha laughed nervously.

“I hope he likes me.”

Jake walked over and kissed her forehead.

“He already does. He doesn’t know it yet.”

“I’ve already told my dad everything—what I went through in school, how you stepped into my life and changed everything. I told him before I even proposed to you.”

Samantha turned to him, eyes wide.

“You did?”

Jake nodded, smiling softly.

“Yes. And now he’s been asking me nonstop—‘When are you bringing your wife home?’ He’s excited to meet you.”

Samantha blinked, her heart fluttering.

“Are you serious?”

Jake took her hand gently.

“We’re visiting him tomorrow.”

She laughed nervously, a mix of excitement and disbelief in her voice.

    Julia held the phone tightly, her eyes locked on Jake.He was still pleading, voice trembling with urgency.“Please… I beg you in the name of God, don’t take that call.”Her brow furrowed. “I shouldn’t take it?”“No. Please. Don’t.”A silence fell between them—thick, loaded.Julia’s grip tightened around the phone. “I hope it’s not what I’m thinking.”. “And what exactly are you thinking?”Jake asked, eyes searching hers.“Please… there’s nothing there you should think about. Nothing. absolutely nothing.”Her eyes stayed locked on his, full of questions,The phone buzzed again—Jake’s breath caught.“Julia… please.”She looked down at the screen, then back at him.“If there’s truly nothing to think about… then why are you so afraid?”The call ended. Just another missed ring.Julia lowered the phone slowly, her gaze never leaving Jake.“I hope you and your father aren’t playing some twisted game with me and my dad.”Jake blinked, stunned. “Game? What game are you talking about?”“Jake,

    Suddenly, the doorbell rang—sharp and unexpected—cutting through the quiet tension in the room. The sound jolted them both, interrupting the moment just as things had begun to feel inevitable. They froze. “Are you expecting anyone?” Julia asked, her voice low, eyes still locked on Jake. Jake shook his head slowly. “No… unless it’s my dad.” Julia raised a brow. “I thought he said he wasn’t coming back anytime soon.” She gently climbed off Jake, the mood now replaced by curiosity and a flicker of unease. The doorbell rang again. Julia scrambled, grabbing her bra and shirt from the floor and slipping them on with hurried hands. Jake stood still, his mind racing. “Please, who’s there?” he called out, his voice bouncing off the walls. A pause. Then a voice replied, calm but firm: “It is I… Nathan.” Jake froze. His heart thudded against his chest like a drum. He turned to Julia, their eyes meeting—hers filled with confusion, his with dread. “I hope it's not what I'm thinking? He w

    Jake took his seat, and his eyes met Julia’s. There was a quiet intensity in her gaze—steady, unreadable, yet full of meaning. He saw it not just in her eyes, but in the way she moved her body on the chair: graceful, deliberate, like every gesture was a message meant only for him. Something deeper stirred beneath the surface. Not just desire. Something more. Jake’s thoughts drifted to the edge of a decision. Should I take this step with her today? Let passion speak louder than caution—and maybe, just maybe, begin something irreversible? A child. A bond. A future sealed. He studied her face again, searching for certainty. Was she thinking the same? Did she know what her presence was doing to him? If I had her now, it wouldn’t be just a moment. It would be a declaration. A promise. A beginning. Jake exhaled slowly as another truth settled in. Heart steady but loud. Not here, he told himself. Not in my father’s house. If it was going to happen, it had to b

    Jake pulled into the compound, and the first thing that greeted him was her car—parked confidently outside, like it belonged.His chest tightened.His mind twisted.He stepped out slowly, walked toward the house, and opened the door.There she was.Seated elegantly in the living room, legs crossed, a soft smile playing on her lips.The kind of smile that said, I already won.Drinks were already served.One glass sat untouched—its placement deliberate, waiting.Jake’s eyes lingered on it, suspicion rising.He glanced at his father, who stood nearby, watching him closely.Their eyes locked.“Son… you’re welcome,” Robert said, breaking the silence.Jake didn’t respond immediately.He scanned the room again—the setup, the silence, the expectation.He knew this wasn’t just a visit.It was a performance.And he was the lead actor… whether he wanted the role or not.“Greetings, Dad,” he said, voice steady but guarded.“Yes, greetings to you too!” Robert replied, his tone unusually bright, al

    Samantha sat quietly, her eyes distant, her heart heavy, her gaze fixed on the floor,Gloria called her voice soft but firm.“Samantha…”“Please… hold yourself together.”Samantha blinked,Gloria continued.“You’ve seen it. Jake has already given his word. It’s not easy for him—I realized that after hearing everything.”“Think about it. When everything it takes to transform your family is placed in your hands… and you turn your back on it to choose love—the one you want to be with…”“That’s not just a choice. That’s a sacrifice. And sometimes… love asks for more than we’re ready to give.”“And I get it. Loving someone—truly loving them—can feel like the only thing that matters. But when that love asks you to walk away from the people who raised you, who need you… It’s not just a choice anymore. It’s a cost.”Samantha’s eyes welled up,“He’s thought about it, Samantha. Thought about it. And he told us… You played a role in his life that no one else ever could. That’s enough for him. Th

    The bar was dimly lit, soft jazz humming in the background. Jake and Clark sat across from each other, the air between them thick with unspoken thoughts. Clark leaned back, casually swirling his drink. “So… how are you doing? How’s the family? And your fiancée?” Jake didn’t answer. He simply lifted his glass, took a slow sip, and set it down. His eyes didn’t meet Clark’s. They stared into the distance—somewhere far beyond the bar, beyond the moment. His mind was a storm. Possibilities. Decisions. Conclusions. Solutions. Clark watched him quietly, “You look calm today… like your heart’s finally found some settlement after the storm.” Jake gave a faint smile, but said nothing. Clark raised an eyebrow, half-joking, half-serious. “Can I hear some good news this afternoon? Maybe that’s why you called for this meeting?” Jake didn’t respond immediately. He simply took another slow sip of his drink, letting the silence speak. Clark smiled, sensing something. “Com
