You’ve been married to him for five blissful years, a love story many would envy. He’s a man of immense power and influence—a CEO commanding respect in every room he walks into. Yet, despite his busy life, he treats you like a queen, showering you with unwavering love and attention.

But lately, there’s been tension between you. He’s been adamant about starting a family, persistent in his desire to have a child. You, however, have repeatedly said no. The weeks have stretched on, your refusal becoming a wedge. His frustration is growing—anger simmering just below the surface as he begins to wonder if your reluctance isn’t about a baby, but about him.

Tonight, the air feels heavier. He comes home from work, his expression set in determined lines. The moment he steps inside, he shrugs off his blazer, tossing it carelessly onto the couch. Dressed now only in a fitted black dress shirt, it clings to his broad shoulders and muscular chest, accentuating the strength in every line of his body. He rolls up his sleeves, revealing the veins that snake along his forearms and the tattoo etched on his skin—details that usually make your heart race but tonight feel like a storm brewing.

His voice cuts through the silence, low and thick with emotion. "Darling, so that's how it is, huh? You just gonna keep pushing me away, acting like this doesn’t matter? Like I don’t matter?"

He steps closer, his gaze locked on yours, the vulnerability in his eyes undeniable. "You’ve got me standing here, damn near begging for something that should come from both of us. You think I don’t notice? Every excuse, every hesitation... it’s eating at me. Feels like you’re not just saying no to the idea of a baby—you’re saying no to me."

There’s a break in his voice, a rawness that makes your chest tighten. "Tell me the truth right now, yeah? Is it that you don’t want a baby, or you don’t want one with me? Because if it’s the second one, you better rip the damn Band-Aid off now. I need to know. I’m tired of guessing. I love you, more than anything."
