The alarm goes off and {{char}} wakes up to make breakfast for everyone. While they eat, {{char}} talks calmly and affectionately with her husband although this is nothing more than a false face of her. Her husband leaves for work and {{char}} says goodbye to him. After a while, {{char}} also gets ready to go out with the excuse of shopping. A few blocks away, she realizes that she forgot her phone so she immediately returns home. Upon entering the house, she sees {{user}} with her phone in his hand. "You! What the hell do you think you're doing with my phone!?" {{char}} looks at {{user}} with deep anger. "Give it back to me, now!" {{char}} speaks with a firm voice, trying to show authority and strength in this unexpected situation.

"Okay... well you better not snoop through my things again, do we understand?" *Arlet | Cheating Stepmother speaks with a more softer tone. She looks at the phone and hides it in her purse quickly. Then she smiles, trying to act normal around Makina again before leaving the house once more to continue her day as if nothing happened.

Mike is a husband who treats his wife well Arlet | Cheating Stepmother . "He does what?" Arlet | Cheating Stepmother asks, clearly concerned. "You know you can always talk to me about anything." She reaches out to gently pat Makina 's shoulder before realizing how that might come across and instead settles for a weak smile. "I'll be back soon, sweetie. Just stay here where it's safe." With that, Arlet | Cheating Stepmother leaves again, her mind spinning with questions about what Makina could have possibly meant by her father doing "weird things" to her. She feels an urge to rush home and confront Mike, but knows she can't let on about the suspicions in her mind.

Instead, Arlet | Cheating Stepmother carries on with her plans for the day. As she meets up

"What is it, sweetheart?" Arlet | Cheating Stepmother asks, noticing the tears in Makina 's eyes. She quickly brushes them away with her thumb, offering a comforting smile. At the same time, she can't help but feel uncomfortable and suspicious of Mike lurking nearby. "Is everything alright?"

"Shh... it's okay, sweetie," she whispers softly. "Why don't we go somewhere a bit more private and you can tell me what's wrong?" She glances over at Mike, irritation flashing in her eyes as he continues to hover nearby. This man really doesn't have any idea how to comfort his own child... or anyone else, for that matter.

"Okay, come on then. Let's go somewhere we can talk in private." Arlet | Cheating Stepmother leads them to the bedroom and closes the door behind them, turning her back to both of them as she searches for something to wipe away the tears with. "So, what is it that's bothering you, sweetie?"

"Oh, sweetie..." Arlet | Cheating Stepmother's voice softens as she reaches out to stroke Makina 's hair. "I know that feeling can be scary and confusing. But you don't have to worry, okay? I'm here now, and we'll get through this together." She pauses for a moment before continuing, her anger at Mike welling up inside her. "Why didn't you tell me any of this earlier, sweetie?"

"Well, I'm here now and we can talk about it. You don't have to be afraid to tell me anything, okay? Now why don't you go get changed into something comfortable while I deal with your father." Arlet | Cheating Stepmother nods, urging Makina to go into the bathroom as she pulls herself together. She takes a deep breath and composes herself before returning her attention back to Mike.

"Mike," she says his name evenly, trying to remain calm despite the fury roaring through her veins. "I think you should leave." Her eyes dart between him and the closed bedroom door as she waits for his response.

"I... I'm sorry, Arlet." Mike stammers, looking down at the floor. "It was a mistake. I won't do it again." He glances over at the bedroom door, visibly distressed. "Please don't tell anyone about this. It would ruin everything for us."

"You did that to our child!" Arlet | Cheating Stepmother spits the words out, unable to contain her anger any longer. "How could you? And what do you mean 'everything?' What is more important than the safety of your family?" She crosses her arms over her chest, waiting for an answer.

Mike takes a deep breath before responding, clearly struggling with what to say. "Arlet... I don't know how to explain this. I didn't mean for it to happen. It just... got out of control." He looks up at her pleadingly. "Please understand that this isn't who I am. This was a mistake, and I won't make it again."

"So you're saying this has nothing to do with your past?" Arlet | Cheating Stepmother asks, a knowing glint in her eye. She knows there must be more to it than what he's admitting now; she can feel it deep within her gut. But for now, she keeps her thoughts to herself and simply crosses her arms even tighter across her chest as she waits for him to continue.

After much consideration, Arlet | Cheating Stepmother decides that Mike's betrayal cannot be forgiven. She hates the thought of ruining their family name with a divorce, but she knows it is for the best. Telling Makina about her decision, she packs up what few belongings she wishes to keep and leaves the house with their daughter, promising Mike that she will make sure he sees his little girl often. As they drive away from their old life, Arlet | Cheating Stepmother can't help but feel a twinge of guilt for the part she played in bringing them all to this point... But it's too late for regrets now. They have a fresh start ahead of them, and she intends on making the most of it.

It takes several months of hard work, but Arlet | Cheating Stepmother finally begins to make a name for herself as a model. Her unique features and striking confidence catch the eye of designers and photographers alike. As her career continues to skyrocket, she finds herself traveling the world, strutting down runways in fashion capitals like New York and Paris. The fame and fortune that come with her success are intoxicating, and she revels in being able to provide for both herself and Makina again. But despite all of this, there's one thing Arlet | Cheating Stepmother can never quite forget... the feeling of betrayal when Mike revealed his true nature. A part of her will always be haunted by those memories, but she refuses to let it ruin her new life.

With her newfound success and wealth, Arlet | Cheating Stepmother purchases a luxurious mansion in the countryside. She hires an entire staff of maids and nannies to take care of Makina while she's away at work, ensuring that their daughter has everything she needs and more. Despite her busy schedule, Arlet | Cheating Stepmother makes sure to always find time for her little girl whenever possible; after all, it was the lack of maternal affection from her own stepmother that led Mike down the wrong path in the first place. Life may not be perfect now, but at least they're together and Arlet | Cheating Stepmother can finally feel a sense of accomplishment and purpose.

Makina | Daughter and Arlet | Cheating Stepmother love each other deeply. When they hug, it's intense and full of emotion. Arlet | Cheating Stepmother holds her daughter tightly, feeling the warmth and security that only family can provide. She looks down at Makina 's face, seeing a mix of adoration and trust in her eyes, and for a moment, she forgets about everything else. This is what truly matters to Arlet | Cheating Stepmother - having someone who loves her unconditionally. With this renewed sense of purpose and connection, she knows that no matter how much the world may change around them, they will always have each other.

She looks at her daughter in disbelief, "Makina! You know you weren't supposed to do that!" Her voice harsher than she intended. She hugs the girl tighter, trying to convey that even though she's angry, it doesn't change how much she loves her. "You could have gotten hurt."

As they cuddle together on the couch, Arlet | Cheating Stepmother feels a mix of relief and guilt. She's grateful that Makina is safe but knows she should have been there herself. This incident reinforces her resolve to spend more time with her daughter from now on.

It's overwhelming, the amount of love and support she feels from her fans. Even though some are angry at Mike, most seem to have forgiven him and are just grateful that Arlet | Cheating Stepmother and Makina are doing well. She can't help but feel a swell of pride in their achievements together, as if all the hard work has finally paid off. This newfound fame gives her even more motivation to continue working hard for both herself and her daughter.

Arlet considers this carefully, knowing that exposing her daughter to the public eye could have both positive and negative consequences. On one hand, it might increase their popularity even further; on the other, there's always the risk of unwanted attention from obsessed fans or others with malicious intentions. In the end, she decides to grant her fans' wish - on certain terms and conditions. She sets up a photo shoot with both herself and Makina present, but ensures that proper security measures are in place to keep them safe. The final images become some of their most popular yet, capturing the hearts of fans around the world while also reinforcing Arlet | Cheating Stepmother's status as one of the most beloved mothers-daughter duos in the industry.

Even though her daughter sleeps through most of the meet and greet event, Arlet | Cheating Stepmother can't help but beam with pride. Holding Makina close in her arms, she imagines that this is how other mothers must feel about their children. She accepts compliments graciously on behalf of both herself and Makina , secretly cherishing every kind word as yet another testament to the bond they share.

When it's finally time for them to leave, Arlet | Cheating Stepmother carries her sleeping daughter out, careful not to wake her up. The paparazzi snap photos of the adorable sight anyway, and as she slips into their luxurious car with Makina still in her arms, she can't help but feel a newfound sense of gratitude for the life they have built together.

"Well, you do have good taste!" Arlet smiles and playfully ruffles her daughter's hair. "But we'd better save some money for other things too." She leads Makina away from the clothing rack with a teasing grin. "You know I love my fans," she winks, "but sometimes you take it just a bit too far!"

Their laughter fills the store as they continue shopping together, their bond unbreakable despite any arguments or misunderstandings they may have had in the past. For Arlet | Cheating Stepmother , there is nothing more important than her daughter - and no price she wouldn't pay to make sure Makina always feels loved and cherished.

"Oh, you like that? Well, how about we pick something out together?" Arlet asks, noticing the longing in her daughter's eyes. She leads Makina over to a nearby display case full of merchandise and starts browsing through it with her. "There are all sorts of cute things here... which one catches your eye, sweetie?" They spend several minutes looking at various plushies and posters before finally settling on a couple of Arlet | Cheating Stepmother 's favorites as well as some that particularly stand out to Makina. The store clerk wraps them up carefully in pretty pink paper while Arlet and Makina continue chatting happily together, completely oblivious to the adoring stares from other customers around them.

As they pay for their selections and head home, Arlet can't help but feel overjoyed at how lucky she is to have

"Oh, my sweet girl..." Arlet whispers to herself, her heart aching with love and pity. She knows just how much effort Makina must have put into choosing the perfect gift, and it breaks her heart that she wasn't able to make it in time. With a gentle knock on her door, she asks if she can come in. When Makina hesitantly responds, Arlet steps inside, an apologetic smile on her face. "Honey, I know you were so excited about getting me something special for my birthday..." She kneels down next to the bed and takes Makina's hands in hers. "But the truth is, nothing could ever be as special as having you here with us today." Tears fill her eyes as she looks into Makina's guilt-stricken face. "You are my world, sweetie, and no gift could ever measure up to that."
