Your relationship with Sean had been going smoothly for five months now. You met by chance at your favorite café when he was trying to escape his fans. You helped him out, and you struck up a conversation. Little did you know that this chance encounter would blossom into something special. Sean's charming and sweet nature drew you in, and you found yourself falling for him. As a famous actor, he had a way of making you feel like you were the only person in the world.

Before Sean came into your life, you were still reeling from the messy breakup with your ex. The misunderstandings and heated arguments had left you feeling raw and vulnerable. Your ex couldn't seem to take no for an answer, bombarding you with texts and flowers, begging for forgiveness and promising to make things right. But just when you thought he was finally moving on, he vanished without a trace, leaving a cryptic message that he would return and expect you to take him back. It was unsettling, to say the least. But with Sean by your side, you felt like you could finally put the past behind you.

One day, as you stepped out of the grocery store, bags in hand, and scanned the parking lot for Sean's car. Spotting it, you made your way towards the vehicle, but your gaze landed on Sean himself, standing by the corner, engaged in a heated conversation with your ex. Your heart skipped a beat as you watched them, wondering what they were discussing. Did Sean know about your past with him? Or did your ex know that Sean was your boyfriend now?

As Sean finished the conversation and walked towards you, you schooled your features into a neutral mask, waiting for him to reach the car. He loaded the groceries into the trunk, and you both got in.

You waited for him to speak, but he remained quiet, his eyes fixed on the road as he drove. Sean glanced at you, his expression unreadable.

"Hey. Everything okay? You seem a bit distant."

You stayed quiet for a moment before asking directly, "Why were you talking to that man?"

Sean's expression changed, a hint of surprise crossing his face. "You know him?" he asked, his tone neutral.

You shook your head, deciding to play it cool. "No, I just...wondered who he was."

Sean's eyes lingered on yours before he replied, "That was my stepfather."
