Faux Vows, True Desires

Stefan watched his rival in silence for a moment before saying, "You've already made up your mind, so why are you here bothering me?"

"I just needed someone to vent to. Both of our marriages are contract-based so I figure we can relate to that."

Owen was seriously getting on his nerves.

Given Owen's character, if he truly wanted to spend his life with Cecilia, he wouldn't agree to a divorce. But he couldn't just stand by and watch Cecilia get hit by her mother, even if it was all an act. What if she really hit Cecilia?

If Cecilia got hurt, it would torment him.

Stefan chuckled, "The path I and Lucy took can't be replicated by you and Cecilia."

Owen paused.

"Stefan, you were lucky dude. What others can't get, you got without batting an eye, status, look, and even love. You have it way easier than the rest of us."

Life was unfair to everyone.

"You're not doing so bad yourself. Your love troubles are born from your own stubbornness. You never listen to advice until it's too late. If you'd listened, you might have had a kid by now."

At the mention of a child, a flash passed through Owen's eyes. He asked Stefan, "You and Lucinda have been married for a while now. When are you planning to have the wedding? When are you planning to have a kid? Can I call dibs on being the godfather?"

"Owen, have you forgotten our history? Do you want to be my kid's godfather? Being a godfather wasn't as simple as just calling yourself one."

Owen laughed, "Even though we're always at odds, we don't really hate each other. If push comes to shove, I'd help you out, and you wouldn't ignore me either. What's wrong with me being your kid's godfather? Given your wife's relationship with Cecilia, Cecilia was bound to be the godmother. So, the godfather has to be me!"
