A Surgeon's Pride

Danny and Maria are eagerly anticipating their new arrival. She beams at him over dinner, a moment he cherishes deeply. They have not dined in the dining room for weeks, as Maria has been off her food, but in the past few days, her appetite has notably improved. Danny is thrilled to see this change.

Nonetheless, Danny asked Carmen, their cook and housekeeper, to prepare a special dish for his wife.

After helping Maria into her chair, he takes his seat opposite her as they savour the tender chicken breasts and delicate green vegetables, utterly delicious. Danny gazes lovingly at his wife, reflecting on his deep affection for the woman sitting across from him.

From the moment he first laid eyes on the stunning Magic gyms manager, he knew he would face a challenge in keeping other men's eyes off her. Maria is breathtakingly beautiful, and he finds her utterly irresistible. He often wonders why she hasn't had a string of lovers but is grateful that she has respected her body.

However, he never anticipated that the man he would need to protect his wife from would turn out to be his former best friend-someone he considered like a brother. Danny expected North to be happy for him, not relentlessly pursuing him by attacking his staff and business to get to Maria.

Furthermore, North's wife, a woman he had never touched, accusing him of being her son's father has turned into a complete nightmare that threatens to unravel their lives.
