Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

"I get what you mean. I'll head up first, okay?"

Mia grabbed the railing, planted her foot, and hoisted herself onto the stage in one smooth move.

Instantly, the room exploded with cheers and wild applause. Everyone was

buzzing with excitement-this was the moment they'd all been waiting for: 'Auntie' was about to show her stuff.

Upstairs, a handful of people leaned over the balcony, craning their necks for a better view. Someone whispered, "Did she really get married and have a kid?"

"Pretty sure she did," another replied. "Noah's always with the boss, and he's not the type to make things up. If he says it, it's probably true."

Someone else watched Mia's silhouette in the ring and sighed. "Well, there goes my hope of meeting someone at The Silent Ring who actually gets me. Guess I'll stay single a bit longer."

“Tell me about it. I was totally smitten with 'Auntie' the first time I met her."

Just then, another person joined in, "Hey, you think that woman who's always with 'Auntie' is a big deal too?"

"Her? Isn't she the one who faced off against Tony Scissors on stage a few years ago?"

Everyone paused, then: "...Oh yeah, now I remember. That was her. She didn't stand a chance."

The security team, who were supposed to be working, had crowded around the balcony, all eyes glued to the ring, waiting for the fight to start.

Meanwhile, Molly-who'd been the topic of gossip herself-sat quietly in the corner, keeping some distance from Mia so she wouldn't break her focus.
