I know the ML character is a total clinch, but… you gotta deal with it 😂
Chapter 1
Rhett Varen lounged in the sleek, modern living room of his penthouse, scrolling through his phone, but he wasn’t really paying attention.
Outside, the city lights shimmered like diamonds, but Rhett couldn’t enjoy them.
He was too busy trying to ignore the storm brewing across from him.
His mother, Vivienne Varen.
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
Rhett Varen!
Vivienne’s voice had that sharp, commanding tone she always used when she meant business.
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
You are going on a date. And that is final!
Rhett groaned, lowering his phone with a dramatic sigh.
Rhett Varen
This is like the…
Rhett Varen
I’ve lost count… nth time you’ve tried to set me up.
Rhett Varen
Didn’t I tell you? I’m not interested in dating right now.
Vivienne raised an eyebrow, hands on her hips, giving him that look that always made him feel guilty before he even had a chance to argue.
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
Rhett, I know you think you’re busy, but you’re my son.
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
I happen to know what’s best for you.
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
And you will go. That’s non-negotiable.
Rhett threw his head back, muttering under his breath.
Rhett Varen
Non-negotiable…
Rhett Varen
Because my life clearly wasn’t complicated enough already.
Vivienne softened slightly, her voice playful but firm.
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
Rhett, I don’t care if you’re bi, gay, straight…
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
Bring anyone you want.
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
But you’ve been avoiding this for years.
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
You need human interaction. At least meet her. Worst case?
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
Nothing happens. But at least you tried.
Author
Hi, beautiful people!!!
Chapter 2
Rhett rubbed his temples, feeling the familiar tension creeping up his neck.
Rhett Varen
I have companies to run, deals to close, investors breathing down my neck.
Rhett Varen
You know my schedule.
Rhett Varen
How am I supposed to fit in thirty minutes of polite conversation with someone I don’t even know?
Vivienne tilted her head, a small, smug smile on her lips.
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
Rhett…
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
Thirty minutes isn’t going to kill you.
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
You’re a Varen.
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
You survive high-stakes boardrooms every day.
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
This is just…
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
Slightly lower stakes.
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
And besides, think of it as practice for…
Vivienne Varen (ML's mother)
Life outside work.
From his chair across the room, Damian Varen, Rhett’s father, chuckled.
Damian Varen (ML’s father)
Your mother’s right, son. You’ve been avoiding it long enough.
Damian Varen (ML’s father)
When I was your age, I was married, had kids, and somehow survived.
Damian Varen (ML’s father)
You...
Damian Varen (ML’s father)
Well, you’re still avoiding it. Go on the date. Just see what happens.
Rhett groaned again, leaning back. “
Rhett Varen
You too? Really?
Rhett Varen
Both of you ganging up on me at the same time?
Rhett Varen
Can’t we have one evening of peace?
Damian shrugged, amusement twinkling in his eyes.
Damian Varen (ML’s father)
I’m not ganging up. Just…
Damian Varen (ML’s father)
Friendly advice.
Damian Varen (ML’s father)
You’re thirty-four, single, and apparently proud of it.
Damian Varen (ML’s father)
A dinner won’t hurt.
