Chapter 12: Torn by a Proposition

Emily stormed through her apartment, her anger and frustration evident in every agitated step. The weight of Ethan's proposition hung over her like a dark cloud, casting a shadow on her thoughts.

"Damn that stupid Ethan," she seethed into her phone as she spoke with Lily, her voice trembling with anger. "After I rejected that proposal, now he's using my promotion and my salary as a threat to me. If I don't agree to this ridiculous proposal, then there's no promotion and no salary."

Lily, ever the voice of reason, tried to calm her fuming friend. "Okay, okay, wait, calm down. Breathe in, breathe out," she advised, her soothing tone a counterpoint to Emily's rage.

Emily took a deep breath, trying to regain her composure. "Look at it from this angle," Lily continued, her words measured and thoughtful. "He's not asking you for a relationship. He just asked you to marry him and become his wife because of his child, and nothing else. You'll have your own room, and he'll have his own room. He won't bother you, and you won't bother him. You just have to take care of his daughter like a mother."

Lily's words hung in the air, and with that last sentence, Emily went silent. Her anger began to ebb, replaced by a sense of unease and uncertainty. Lily had struck a chord in her heart, reminding her of her past experiences working in an orphanage and the compassion she held for the children she had cared for.

As Emily considered Lily's perspective, she couldn't help but wonder if this unconventional proposal had a glimmer of merit. Could she put aside her own reservations and insecurities to provide a stable presence in Mia's life, much like she had done for the orphans in the past?

Emily's heart wavered, torn between the promise of career advancement and the prospect of fulfilling a child's longing for a mother's love. Emily knew that the decision she made in the coming hours would reshape her life in ways she couldn't predict, and her heart trembled at the crossroads she now faced.
