100 SOMETHING SHE NEVER EXPECTED

But not far off, across the mall, two men stood quietly behind, sunglasses on and phones pressed to their ea “She’s picking baby clothes,” one of them reported. “Both of them. Smiling and laughing.”

Samuel’s voice crackled through the phone. “That’s enough. Head back.”

Stefan, from the far end, had already noticed them. His eyes caught the flicker of movement, the too-casual posture of two men trying too hard not to be seen.

Mia noticed the change in him immediately. She followed his gaze.

“We’re being watched, aren’t we?” she asked softly, her voice low.

He nodded once. “Never expected less from either of them’

They were walking toward another section of the building, Stefan holding Mia’s hand, when she suddenly paused in the hallway.

He stopped too, turning back to look at her.

Mia didn’t mean to say it out loud….. it just slipped out.

“That talk… about wanting a baby… was it just because you knew we were being watched?” Her voice was quiet, unsure, almost guarded.

Stefan looked at her for a second, then stepped closer, gently cupping her face in both hands. His eyes locked with hers….. serious and steady.

“No,” he said. “I was dead serious, Mia.”

“I want that life with you. A family. A home. Not because of who’s watching or what’s expected. Because I want you in every way.” 1

Butterflies exploded in her stomach. She hadn’t expected such a clear, honest answer. His words made her heart swell in a way she hadn’t prepared for.

He kissed her forehead softly, then whispered, “Now come on. I want to introduce you to someone important.”

Still recovering from the moment, she nodded and followed him.

They stopped in front of a door marked private. Stefan opened it and led her inside.

The room was quiet, elegant, and smelled faintly of rich leather and cologne. It wasn’t flashy, but everything inside…. from the shelves lined with thick law books to the framed accolades….. spoke of quiet power.

Sitting behind a large desk was a man in his late fifties, maybe early sixties. He had salt-and-pepper hair, sharp features, and an expression that said he had seen it all and still wasn’t impressed. Yet when he saw Mia, his expression softened a little.

Stefan nodded toward him.

“Mia, meet Mr. Arnold Weston.”

Mia stepped forward politely and greeted him. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, sir.”

He gave a small smile and motioned toward the seat in front of him. “Likewise. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Mia sat, a little surprised but composed.

As they spoke, she slowly realized who he was…. one of the biggest shareholders in a top U.S. law firm. The kind of man people only talked about in business whispers. The kind of man who didn’t show up unless it mattered.

200 SOMETHING SHE NEVER EXPECTED

And here she was, sitting across from him.

Not just as Stefan’s wife. But as his partner. And she has never been more proud of herself.

The meeting with Mr. Weston had gone better than Mia could have imagined. He was sharp but kind, thoughtful

in his words. They didn’t just talk business….. they talked visions, dreams, strategy. And before they left, he promised to be in touch again soon.

The entire drive back to the hotel felt unreal.

Only four more signatures, and the foundation of MSS’s future would be locked in place.

Everything was falling into place….. perfectly.

When they got back to their suite, the sun had already begun its descent behind the city. Mia kicked off her shoes and collapsed onto the couch, stretching her arms above her head as Stefan checked his phone.
