An Angry Mother In Law

Gloria seized Nikolai by the wrist with the strength of a woman who had raised three boys and survived all their tantrums. “Don’t you dare walk away from me, Nikolai Rosewood!” she declared, her voice thundering over the murmurs. “You and your little band of conspirators are coming with me... Now!” Rafael groaned under his breath. He could only foresee what was about to happen. Harlow opened his mouth to protest, but one sharp glare from Gloria had him snapping it shut like a clam. With the poise of a queen dragging wayward knights back to court, Gloria marched toward the VIP elevator, her hand locked firmly around Nikolai’s arm. Rafael sighed, resigned, and followed, dragging a sulking Harlow behind him. The employees who had been pretending to shuffle papers or answer calls now openly watched, some even leaning over cubicles for a better view. “Did you hear that? Our boss is... Married!” “And to someone in the army?!” “God, I love this company.” The elevator doors shut on

I Need My Daughter In Law At All Costs!

Gloria spun back toward her son, eyes blazing. “Do you hate me, Nikolai? Is that it? You hated me so much that you decided not to tell me about this miraculous marriage? You didn’t invite me to the wedding? You didn’t even give me a chance to meet my daughter-in-law before shoving her into a battlefield?” Nikolai clenched his jaw. “Mom, it wasn’t like that. She chose to go—” “Choose?!” Gloria cut him off, her voice sharp as a whip. “And you LET her? You’re her husband, you stubborn rock of a man! Just like your father! You’re supposed to say no when your wife tries to risk her life! What kind of man stands by idly while his bride marches off to war?!” “An honorable one,” Nikolai bit out. “An idiot!” Gloria countered immediately. “A complete, brainless, emotionally constipated idiot! Oh God! Why did you have to take after that dumb father of yours?!” Rafael coughed into his fist, trying not to laugh. Harlow, meanwhile, was nodding vigorously in agreement with Gloria, looking like

Are You My Dad?

ANOTHER TWO YEARS LATER The conference room was filled with the low voices, the faint rustle of paper, and the steady clicking of pens against notepads. A dozen executives sat around the long table, each with their eyes trained on the charts projected at the front of the room. At the head of the table sat Nikolai Rosewood.l, the boss himself. His dark suit seemed perfect on him, his posture flawless and his aura commanding... just as always. But anyone who looked closely would see that his mind wasn’t in the room. His eyes, usually sharp and attentive, were distant. He kept checking his watch. Again and then again. To the board, it was almost a silent game now: how many times would their CEO glance at his watch during a single meeting? Nikolai wasn’t prone to wasting time, yet lately, he seemed eager to escape every discussion they had. His usual precision, his laser-sharp focus, had dulled during these long meetings. It even seemed like the meetings annoyed him. He shif

Who's That Child?

“Who are you? You called my mom’s phone, so I need to know who you are.” The little voice hesitated, then asked with curious boldness: “Are you my dad?” Nicolai went still. His world tilted. Her mom’s phone? Are you my dad? The words echoed in his head, slamming against every defense he had built. A child. Cassie’s child? His wife... who had been gone for years... has a daughter now? How? His fingers tightened around the phone. His chest constricted, anger and confusion colliding. He opened his mouth to demand answers, but before he could, he heard Cassie’s voice in the background. “Oh my God! Oh my God!! Oh my God!!!” Her voice was breathless and panicked. And then... silence. The line went dead. Nikolai stared at the phone as if it had betrayed him. For a man who thrived on control, on knowing every variable, this was a blow. He had been blindsided. The phone vibrated suddenly, flashing Cassie’s name across the screen. Nik answered immediately, as if he was afraid the call

Cute Little Emily

Cassie stood in the center of her small apartment, surrounded by the careful organization of her final moments there. Her suitcases were packed, filled with neatly folded uniforms, personal belongings, and the keepsakes she had collected over the years. The room smelled faintly of starch and polish, the scent of a soldier’s life... and motherly. Her gaze lingered on the bed... plain, military-issued sheets perfectly tucked in... and on the small desk by the window, cluttered with farewell notes and mementos her comrades had slipped to her over the past week. It wasn’t much, but it had been her world for four years. She inhaled deeply, holding her breath for a moment as if to etch the memory of it all into her soul. And then she turned with a soft smile. Standing by the door, grinning from ear to ear, was Emily... her daughter. The little girl’s dark hair was tied up in a messy ponytail, and her small backpack was already slung over her shoulder, decorated with patches Cassie

Meeting An Old Enemy

Cassie’s heart pounded as the plane’s wheels screeched against the tarmac, the vibrations running through her seat and up her spine.It wasn’t just the landing... it was everything that she's about to face and do.This country wasn’t just a place on the map; it was memories, love, betrayal, loss, and unspoken promises.She closed her eyes for a moment, tightening her grip on the small, warm hand beside her.“Mommy! We’re here!” Emily’s sweet, excited voice snapped her out of her thoughts.Cassie turned, the sight of her daughter’s wide blue eyes grounding her. Emily looked so much like Nikolai... those same piercing eyes, that undeniable sparkle—but her smile, her stubborn chin, her energy… that was all Cassie.“Yes, baby, we’re here,” Cassie said softly, forcing a smile as she brushed a strand of hair from Emily’s forehead.When they finally walked off the plane and into the bustling airport, Cassie inhaled deeply, almost shivering. The air smelled the same as it had four years ago.

Raymond! She's Back!

Rachael! Cassie didn’t hesitate as the realization dug in. Her palm connected with Rachael’s cheek in a resounding slap that echoed through the busy terminal. "SLAP!" Gasps rippled through the crowd. Conversations died mid-sentence. Phones were lifted and security tensed for any potential fight. Rachael’s head jerked to the side, her expensive earrings swaying from the impact. Her entourage surged forward, but Cassie didn’t move. She stood her ground, her body shielding Emily. Her voice was calm, but her words carried a sharpness that cut through the heavy silence. “Excuse me, this is just a child,” Cassie said firmly as she tried to hold in her rage. “She bumped into you. She didn’t ruin your clothes or shoes. You don’t have to be verbally abusive toward her. And you certainly don’t get to insult me. I know how I raise my child. Initially, I would have apologized. But judging from your attitude…” Cassie’s eyes burned into Rachael’s, “…you’re the one who needs to be taught. Pro

Misses And Anticipation

Cassie walked with the two security guards to the airport’s VIP section. Her heart hammered so violently that she could feel each beat in her throat. She put strong front, yet beneath that composed exterior, her nerves crackled like static. It had been four years—four long, unforgiving years... since she had last seen Nikolai. She had lived through hell and rebirth in those years. Now, walking towards him and seeing again after all these years, Cassie wasn’t sure if she was prepared for what awaited her. Beside her, Emily clutched her hand tightly, her small fingers warm and trusting, as if giving her comfort. Cassie glanced down at her daughter... her miracle, her strength, her reason for breathing. Her daughter was her world now. The innocence in Emily’s wide eyes soothed her, but it also pierced her with guilt. Nikolai didn’t even know his daughter existed until now. How would he react? Would he love Emily instantly, or would he see her as a reminder of Cassie’s long a

Welcoming And Shocked

"You’re here! God, you’re really here!” Harlow choked, burying his face in her shoulder. His whole body trembled, and for once, the ever-energetic Harlow seemed fragile, like a boy who had finally found the sister he thought he’d lost. “Oh God... you’re here. You’re actually here!” he choked. “Four years, Cass. Do you know what that felt like? Do you know—” His words dissolved into sobs. Cassie squeezed him back, her own throat tightening painfully. “I missed you too, Har. So much.” When Harlow finally pulled back, his face was streaked with tears but glowing with joy. Cassie’s throat burned. Her eyes stung with tears she hadn’t wanted to shed. Slowly, she wrapped her arms around him and held on just as fiercely. “I’m here, Har,” she whispered, her voice breaking. “I missed you too. More than you know.” Harlow pulled back only enough to cup her face in both hands, eyes searching her features as if to make sure she was real. “You’re stronger,” he said, his lips trembling with a

Daddy Doesn't Want Me

"Mommy!" A small girl came rushing into the room with a security guard chasing after her. She was small, no older than four, with curls bouncing around her cherubic face and big eyes sparkling with excitement. She was beautiful... heartbreakingly so. The security guard following behind her bowed quickly. “Forgive me, ma’am. She slipped away before I could stop her.” The security guard said fearfully to Cassie, who seemed stunned to even say anything. “Mommy!” The little girl squealed again, her tiny legs carrying her as fast as they could. Rafael’s jaw nearly hit the floor. He looked like he’d been struck by lightning. “Wh-what the—Cassie?!” he sputtered, pointing at the child. “You—you have a kid?! Since when—how—” Before Cassie could answer, Harlow lit up like a Christmas tree. “Hey, princess!” The little girl shrieked with joy. “Uncle Har!” she cried, racing straight into his arms. He scooped her up effortlessly, spinning her once before hugging her close. “Finally! I’ve b
