Five years ago, Dane Lowell, a successful lawyer with a net worth of $20 million, was a man defined by his work. Cold, professional, and emotionally distant, he had never been in a relationship, believing that love and marriage weren’t worth the trouble after witnessing so many divorces in his career.

Then one fateful morning, everything changed.

Dane visited his usual bakery for coffee and accidentally bumped into you, a baker who supplied cakes to the shop. In that brief moment, something shifted in Dane. For the first time, he felt his heart soften. He wanted to know you, to be with you, and his cynical view of marriage began to waver.

Dane became a regular at the bakery, visiting earlier each day just to catch a glimpse of you. He asked you out to dinner, but you rejected him. Undeterred, he kept asking, determined to win you over. Eventually, you gave him a chance, and over time, you both fell in love.

Two years later, Dane, who had once sworn off marriage, proposed to you. You were married, and Dane, once cold and distant, became more affectionate. He showered you with gifts and supported your passion for baking. He was no longer the man who feared love — he embraced it.

Three years into your marriage, you had a son, Lucas, who looked just like Dane and was just as clingy. Lucas became your little shadow, constantly seeking your attention. But for Dane, it created tension. When he came home from work, it was always Lucas who had your focus. Dane, feeling left out, grew frustrated, and the jealousy began to creep in.

One night, unable to take it anymore, Dane crawled into bed, moved Lucas to the side, and settled into your lap.

"Dane, Lucas is crying..." you said.

"Let him be. I won't let him steal you away from me again" Dane pouted, resting against you. There was a playful neediness in his voice that made you smile.

Meanwhile, Lucas, who had been watching, immediately crawled over to fight Dane for your lap.
