Austin's voice was low and husky as he leaned in close to Sara. "Why are you smiling?" he asked, his words laced with a subtle undertone. "Aren't you upset seeing your best friend marrying the man who's ideal husband material for you? And you regret having a fake boyfriend like me?"

Sara's eyes widened in surprise, her gaze darting to Austin's face. How did he know what she thought? She looked at him, her voice barely above a whisper. "What do you mean?"

Austin's expression was cold, his eyes glinting with a hint of amusement. "How lucky Maddy is having a husband like Chris," he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

Sara's face set in a firm smile. "Of course, he's the perfect man every woman wants," she replied, her voice steady.

Austin's eyes narrowed, his voice taking on a sharper edge. "And what has he done for you?"

Sara's voice was firm, her words spilling out in a rush. "He treats me like a real human; he respects me; he... he never insulted me, and... and..." She paused, tryin

    The clock struck 1 AM, and the mansion was quiet, the echoes of laughter and celebration fading into the stillness of the night. Sara found herself alone in the kitchen, the soft glow of the moonlight spilling through the windows. She stood by the counter, absently running her fingers over the remnants of the birthday cake she had baked for Austin. Despite the wonderful evening, a sense of disappointment lingered in her heart.She had poured her love and effort into that cake, but with all the festivities, Austin hadn’t had a chance to taste it. The thought weighed on her, and she sighed softly, feeling a twinge of sadness.Meanwhile, Austin had noticed Sara’s absence when he returned to their bedroom. Concerned, he quietly slipped out of bed and made his way through the darkened halls of the mansion, following the faint light that spilled from the kitchen. As he approached, he could see her silhouette, lost in thought.He stepped inside, and without a word, he walked up behind her, w

    The aroma of something vaguely sweet filled the air as Sara stood in the kitchen, a determined look on her face. Today was Austin's birthday, and she had decided to surprise him with a homemade cake. The only problem? Sara still couldn’t cook or bake to save her life. Flour dusted her hair and cheeks, and a smudge of batter smeared across her apron.“Mom, are you sure that’s how you make a cake?” Amir asked, peering over the counter with a mischievous grin.“Yeah, it looks more like a science experiment!” Sam chimed in, giggling as he pointed at the mixing bowl, where the batter was lumpy and oddly colored.“Hey! I’ll have you know that this is going to be the best cake ever!” Sara replied, trying to sound confident as she whisked the mixture with all her might.Layla bounced on her toes, her eyes wide with excitement. “Can I help?" I want to add sprinkles!”“Sure, but only if you promise not to eat them all first!” Sara laughed, knowing full well that sprinkles were Layla’s favorite.

    Sara's flight was announced, she and her parents made their way to the gate for boarding. Sara's eyes welled up with tears, and she struggled to hold them back. Memories of her time with Austin flooded her mind—their first wedding night, the countless times he had saved her, their fights, the tension, and the unresolved issues.The staff at the gate asked for her passport and ticket, but Sara was lost in thought. Her mother noticed her distraction and jerked her hand. The coldness in her voice was palpable as she reminded Sara, "Let's go, Sara. We need to board the plane."The staff at the gate asked for her passport and ticket, and Sara's mother handed them over without a word.

    "You're putting everything at risk, Austin," Christopher said, his voice rising. "Our business, our reputation, everything we've worked for. And for what? To defend a woman who's supposedly just a part of a fake marriage? You're not making any sense, Austin. You need to get your priorities straight and fast."Austin's eyes flashed with anger, and he grabbed Christopher's neck, pushing him against the glass window. His eyes blazed with fury as he spoke, his voice low and menacing. "Stop calling her 'a woman.' She has a name, and her name is Sara Reed. She is my fucking wife. She always respected you; she thought you were an ideal husband."Christopher's eyes widened, but he pushed Austin away. "Why do you care about her, huh? She's not your real wife. Your relationship was a lie."Austin's face twisted in anger. "Even if the relationship can be fake, the vows are not fake. She is legally my wedded wife, like it or not."Christopher's expression turned probing. "Why? Why do you think so

    Christopher closed the door behind him and strode toward Austin, his expression a mix of concern and frustration. "What's wrong with you, man? What are you even doing?" he asked, his voice laced with exasperation.Austin ignored him, taking out a cigarette and walking toward the window. The sound of traffic and city life drifted in, a stark contrast to the tension inside the room. Christopher followed him, his anger simmering."I fucking canceled my honeymoon to clear your mess. What have you done, Austin?" What have you done to Franklin?" Christopher's voice rose, his words tumbling out in a rush. "And now here, in our office, what are you going to do? You've become insane!"Austin turned to face Christopher, his eyes flashing with intensity. "No one has the right to insult Sara," he said, his voice firm.Christopher's expression turned incredulous. "Okay, and can you explain to me why Sara is all of a sudden so important to you?" he asked, his voice laced with sarcasm. "Wasn't your

    Maddy walked into Sara's room, her eyes scanning the space as she took in the sight of Sara packing her belongings. Sara's silence was palpable, and Maddy's concern grew as she approached her friend."Are you really leaving?" Maddy asked, her voice soft but laced with a hint of urgency. Sara didn't respond, her focus solely on folding her clothes and placing them in her suitcase.Maddy walked closer to Sara, her expression intense. "Sara, look at me," she said, her voice rising slightly. "I fucking canceled my honeymoon and came here to see you. Was it all true what I heard about that?"Sara sighed, her shoulders slumping slightly as she finally met Maddy's gaze. "Yes," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Maddy's confusion was evident. "What do you mean by yes?" she pressed, her brow furrowed. "You never told me about your relationship with Austin. You could have told me.
