I made the plan in my head long before I started taking things to acrion.

That was the moment I knew it was real. That I was moving out, when I woke up with a strange clarity, the mold that didnt come from emotion but from exhaustion.

My chest didn't ache the way it had the night before.

No.

My thoughts weren't spiraling. Everything felt usual, aligned. I wasn't happy, just settled.

I was leaning. Not out of anger or heartbreak but because I accepted what was happening.

I moved quietly through

  • The Single Dad Next Door Loves Me   Chapter 58 Mia's Pov

    Just when I thought things were going for the better, they got worse.I stayed laying in Ethan's bed, our hands wrapped in each other while he spooned me, his breath heavy on my neck. I couldn't sleep, not after such a wild night of fantasy. No way, I just couldn't.I reached climax so much my eyes gave way minutes later, when I opened my eyes again, I found myself laying on the bed in his arms.I struggled to stand but Ethan's broad shoulders and firm wrap around me was so much I couldn't move a muscle. So I laid there, eyes open, listening to his soft snores, taking in breaths of his Cologne.I enjoyed the night, the ticking sound of the clock reminded me of time passing, I didn't care, it's not like I had some place to go.While I laid in silence, in the warmth of the man I desired so much, memories came to me.Sophia's call. Bradley and his allegations. The way he acted, the look in his eyes when he spoke to me.Everything came running down in the blink of an eye. I blinked hard,

    Sophia's call ended minutes ago but I still sat in silence staring at the phone.Her last words, “Get out while you still can…” kept ringing in my head. My thoughts ran wild. She sounded concerned, for a good reason. We weren't the best of team friends which made her advice even more meaningful, going out of her way to call me because she was concerned I was living with a dangerous man…The roaring of an engine snapped my mind back to reality. I reached for my phone, tightened the rope of my robe and got up to have a look.Ethan's red truck pulled into his parking space. He was back already, my pulse thickened, I wasn't sure why.I rushed into my bedroom, not because I was scared but a part of me needed space. The lock on my door jangled loudly before I heard footsteps. I stayed quiet, leaned on the doorframe, breath held like I was almost caught doing something wrong.I wasn't.His footsteps echoed through the living room and then the kitchen. Through the peephole I saw Ethan look ar

    I watched them leave, hoping Ethan would come back running into that door with an excuse. He left his car keys, he didn't mean for what happened to happen…Or he was sorry and we needed to talk..The sound of the car jamming woke me up from my daydream as the engine ignited and Ethan sped off with Lily like he was carried by the wind.I let myself catch my breath, no need to be upset so easily. He was mad at me like I was mad at him, these things happened.When my breath calmed eventually, I tossed the hand napkin on the table and went back to cleaning something.Typically, I hated cooking. Back home, I ordered take outs and wouldn't be caught touching the kitchen door handle with a ten foot pole but here, who knew I was a culinary chef?The counter and sink with the rest of the kitchen was sparkling clean when I retired to my room. I grabbed clothes for a quick shower when I heard my phone beep.A notification. A message, Sophia was reaching out. ‘HEY! YOU BUSY? I NEED TO TALK TO YO

    The door locks opened with the click of a button. I lifted Lily off the floor and into the back seat. She sat quietly with her hands folded in front but her expression showed she was upset.I ignored her, my hands trembling from the incident earlier. I'd never shouted at my daughter, I had never yelled at anyone and yet, here I was stashing what we needed in the boot of the car while my daughter hated sitting there.I pushed my bag into the passenger's side of the seat, sat comfortably in my chair and then inserted the key.“We're going now, is there anything else you are forgetting?”She ignored me, head turned as she gazed at the snowy weather outside the car. I took her move as a yes and began the car.The engine rumbled to life. I shifted the gear into drive mode and we started moving. The ride from the cabin down the mountains was quiet, so quiet it felt like I was driving alone. I wasn't. My eyes evaded to the mirror a couple of times as I occasionally checked on Lily.She was s

    Marriage was a crazy thing to say from the point I stood. I barely wanted to be near the man, not to mention having his last name.For once I regretted being present but I made no expression, I kept my calm and I smiled.“That's lovely, Lily.” Was all I could say. Ethan looked my way, he smiled gently, he nodded also, mumbling something I wasn't sure of.“A wedding would be nice.”“Yes it would be.” She smiled ear to ear, holding her tea and the plate she ate from. “mia will look beautiful in a white dress, she'll look like a princess.”A princess in distress maybe but I didn't speak. “I'm sure I would.”She grew busy with her plate and Ethan took a cup of his tea, I grabbed my breakfast and walked into the living room, enough distance between me and the man I always wanted to sit next to.Lily noticed the distance, we always sat together, she grabbed her breakfast and came to sit beside me, shoving me in side as she settled in. “Is something wrong between you and my father?”I scoffe

    I did not look back. The choice did not come from strength but from instincts, the same quiet discipline that had always been what I governed my actions with.I stepped out of the hallway lightway and into the dim of the living room, shadows gathering around me as if they understood I needed to disappear.From the corner of my I saw Mia, she remained where I had left her, the eekbju of rhwys had just happened between us still stayed in the narrow corridor.I crossed the room with a calm I practiced for situations like this, my energy moment was controlled and unhurried, looking at me, I seemed like a man who had heard something regrettable but accepted and adjusted accordingly.Only when I reached the wide glass doors and slid them open to the night air, did the composure begin to leave me, not visibly.Not in a way anyone could see it but in a subtle loosening of the tension that held my shoulders square and my jaw set since she had said the words.‘I’m choosing it now.’I stepped on
