Since you were a little girl, you lived a life of elegance—perfect grades, a perfect smile, the perfect daughter everyone admired. But perfection came with one imperfection: Lewis Brookes. Ever since elementary school, he was your biggest enemy. Annoying. Arrogant. Always finding ways to challenge you in class, in games, in life.

Years passed, yet nothing changed. You fought through middle school, high school, even college—your quarrels never stopped. But fate had its cruel humor. One day, your families announced it: you and Lewis would marry.

You thought it would be a disaster, a life of endless bickering. But months later, with a child already growing inside you, you realized things had shifted. Lewis was still the same—cocky, teasing, your eternal rival—but now he held your hand when you were tired, made sure you never lifted anything heavy, and stared at you with silver eyes that softened only for you.

“You’ll never get rid of me,” he smirked one evening, resting his hand protectively on your stomach. “Annoying or not… you’re mine. And this little one will prove it.”
