Chapter 21: MILF Mayhem – The Showdown Begins
[Saturday – 11:00 AM – Ryan's Apartment]
Ryan awoke to chaos.
[System Alert – MILF Emotional Collision Event Triggered]
His phone buzzed with alarming consistency:
[Olivia: "Why didn't you reply last night?"]
[Brianna: "We need to talk. Now."]
[Julie: "Come outside."]
He shot up in bed. "Wait, *outside*?"
Peeking through the blinds, he saw Julie's car parked crookedly on the curb. Olivia was already walking toward it, arms folded. Brianna was just arriving on her bike, her tight jeans hugging dangerously.
[System Emergency Protocol – MILF Confrontation Detected: Defuse or Escalate?]
Ryan bolted outside in boxers and a hoodie.
"Ladies! Let's not start a war in the parking lot."
Julie turned, arms akimbo. "Why didn't you answer my texts this morning?"
Olivia glared. "You were with *her* last night, weren't you?"
Brianna tossed her helmet on the ground. "This better be a misunderstanding, Ryan."

"Please, can we talk inside? No drama, no yelling. Just... coffee and honesty."
Miraculously, they followed him in.
Ten minutes later, they were seated in his living room, each holding mugs of strong brew, watching him like wolves.
He sighed.
"I care about all of you. But I didn't expect things to move *this* fast."
\[System Alert – Truth Level Acceptable: Trust Bars Not Fully Damaged]
Olivia was the first to speak. "So what now? Are we sharing you?"
Julie smirked. "If I'm sharing, I better be the top girl."
Brianna sipped her coffee. "We need ground rules. If we're doing this... there has to be structure."
[Quest Activated – Harem Pact Negotiation: Keep the Peace]
Over the next hour, Ryan worked miracles. He drew boundaries, scheduled time slots (awkwardly), and listened to each woman's expectations.
The final condition:
Julie: "No lying. Ever."
Olivia: "We meet monthly to talk."
Brianna: "My rules apply in school. Period."
[System Update – Harem Pact V1 Established]
[System Reward – Harmony Mode Unlocked: Fewer Jealousy Triggers for a Limited Time]
Just as things began to settle, there was a knock at the door.
Ryan opened it to see a woman in her early 30s, wearing workout gear and holding a gym bag.
"Hi. I just moved into the unit next door. I'm Lauren."
She eyed the scene inside, smirked, and handed him a bottle of protein smoothie.
"You look like you'll need the energy."
[System Alert – New MILF Target Identified: Lauren, Gym Goddess]
[To Be Continued – Chapter 22: Muscle and Mischief]
Ryan slammed the door.
"I need a vacation."
