Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

In the president's office of Cedillo Inc., Andre's phone buzzed with an incoming call.

The caller ID revealed it was Mia, who had been cursing him out just last night while under his weight. With a smirk, Andre answered, "Hello, Mia."

"Is this Andre? This is the police department. Your wife, your son, your sister, and your nephew are all involved in a brawl and are currently in custody. Could you come down here, please?" Andre's smile faded. "What about Chad?"

"Oh, Officer Chad is already here. He's the one who asked us to contact you."

Chad knew. There was only one man who could tame these three little devils!

Half an hour later, Andre arrived at the familiar scene. There they were, sitting on the chairs to the side.

Mia and Molly avoided eye contact, guilt written all over their faces. Mia was cradling a little cherub in her arms, whose bright eyes blinked obliviously, snug against his mother. Only Leo seemed unfazed, casually swinging his car keys, waiting for the cavalry to arrive. Chad sat across from Molly, silent as a stone. Every so often, Molly would sneak a glance at Chad and mutter under her breath, "Chad, say something, will ya? Your silence is freaking me out."

Chad slammed his hand on the desk, causing Molly to jump. "I thought you were fearless. Why go looking for trouble? What if you had actually burnt her alive?"

Jade whispered back, "I couldn't let it go. I was slighted."

The little one in Mia's arms startled at the noise, then started bawling his eyes out in the middle of the precinct.

Andre approached, and Mia shifted away on the bench towards Molly. "Honey, keep your distance, I'm scared of you"

Andre retorted, "Scared of me after taking our son to a fight? Really?"
