Aaron stared at Daniel's hand on my shoulder, then smiled. "It's Mia's decision. I'll wait for your answer, Mia."After Aaron left, Daniel turned to me, his expression serious."It's your bed-and-breakfast, so it's your call. But honestly, I don't want my fiancée's ex bothering her. I get jealous, Mia," he said, lowering his voice.He leaned in, his cheek brushing lightly against my earlobe. I could hear him begging me not to accept Aaron's offer."The contract looks pretty good," I said, deliberately stopping there.Daniel froze and watched me nervously."But it doesn't hold up once you take a closer look."He let out a long breath of relief.I had someone return the contract to Aaron.Later, Olivia sent me a few updates about Aaron.He hadn't dated anyone since we broke up. He had replaced every woman on his immediate staff with a man, donated his entire fortune to help children with rare diseases, and established the Mia Hope Foundation.I typed back, "You don't need to t

Aaron froze. "You're only saying that to make me give up, aren't you?"He reached for my hand, but I stepped back before he could touch me.I opened my social media profile and showed him a photo of Daniel and me cuddled up together. "Daniel and I love each other, so stop coming around. Aaron, I want us to keep our distance from now on."Aaron stared at the photo for a long time, struggling to contain his emotions. For a while, neither of us said anything.Finally, he replied flatly, "We'll see."The setting sun cast a long shadow behind him as he walked away. After that, he never came to see me again.Every so often, a different number would text to ask how I was doing. I blocked every one.I threw myself into growing the bed-and-breakfast, with my new boyfriend, Daniel, quietly supporting me along the way.During our first year together, Daniel took me to meet his parents."If you know you're right for each other, get married. Don't keep Mia waiting forever."Daniel's mothe

Aaron held out a letter. "Olivia left this for you."I didn't take it."I'll read it to you."He opened the envelope and read the letter aloud, slowly and deliberately. "Dear Mia, I'm sorry. Growing up, everyone adored you. You always stood out, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous."While you and Aaron were living apart, I saw an opening and took it. Seeing how badly I'd hurt you filled me with guilt, but I couldn't control how I felt. Aaron is no saint either…"Aaron stopped there."Where's Olivia?" I asked."She was too ashamed to face you, so she left.""Aren't you leaving?""No, Mia. Olivia and I are completely done. You don't have to give me another chance. I'll keep trying until you do. Starting today, I'm going to win you back."Aaron spoke with absolute conviction. Then he pulled a ring from inside his coat. It was an exquisite, ornate pink-diamond ring, exactly the kind I had always loved.But it was too late.He turned the ring to show me the engraving ins

Aaron dropped into a crouch, defeated, and the sound of his stifled sobs filled the hallway. He kept thinking about how hurt I had looked. That was when he realized that this time, I was really gone.A week after moving into our new home, I poured all my savings into opening a bed-and-breakfast by the ocean. Tourist season was in full swing, and with influencers featuring the place, it quickly became a hit."Hello, sir. Here's what you two ordered," I began."Mia, it's me."Aaron removed his hat, and I fell silent.Beside him, Olivia looked at me with nervous, uncertain eyes. "Mia, we came to see you.""It took me 21 days, but I finally found you. You cut me off completely and left me no way to reach you."Aaron's voice was hoarse, and he looked worn down. I knew that look. I had worn it myself once."If you're here to reminisce, you're not welcome," I said flatly.Aaron stepped forward and grabbed my hand. "Mia, I regret everything. Will you give me another chance?"His voic

Once Olivia was stable, Aaron spent three hours making soup exactly the way I liked it. He carried it upstairs, only to stop cold when he found my room empty. Panic surged through him."Doctor, where's the patient who was in Room 508?" he asked urgently."She was discharged yesterday."Aaron's right eyelid gave a sudden twitch.He turned to the nurse, his eyes red. "Which hospital was she transferred to?""I'm sorry, sir, but we can't disclose that information."He pulled up my social media profile and realized I had blocked him from seeing my posts.He forced himself to stay calm and sent me a message. "I was wrong to force you to donate blood."When I didn't respond, he sent another. "Let me know when you're being discharged. I'll come pick you up."My flight landed without incident, and I made it safely to the new hospital.After spending a week recuperating, Mom and Dad handed me a box, clearly keeping a surprise from me."What is it? Why all the mystery?"I opened the

Two days later, I was discharged from the hospital. Aaron and Olivia came to pick me up.When I opened the front passenger door, Aaron was fastening Olivia's seat belt for her. That was where I always sat because I got carsick.Olivia greeted me with a bright smile. "Feeling any better, Mia?"I nodded. "Much better."Aaron looked up at me. "Mia, Olivia gets carsick."I said nothing. I closed the door and climbed into the back seat.By the time the car pulled up outside my house, I was fighting the urge to throw up. I got out, and Olivia followed me inside.She gave me a hesitant look. "Mia, I need to tell you something.""Go ahead.""I'm pregnant."She took an ultrasound report from her bag."Who's the father?""Aaron."I had expected that answer, but my heart still skipped a beat."When?""Back when you and Aaron were living apart."Olivia looked down, avoiding my eyes. "We slept together plenty of times, but we only forgot to use protection once, when we'd had too muc
