Irene’s POV“That’s awesome.” her eyes were shining with excitement. She had opened every bag I bought for her. “They look really expensive,” she said with a pout. And I only blinked to respond to her.“Is he that rich?” she arched her eyebrow, like she was some detective. “He is,” I said playfully as I took a bite of a pancake she brought with her. It was tasty. She crawled towards me on her fours. “What does he do?” her eyes were bulged and for some reason she was whispering. “Oh My God, Stacy,” I couldn’t control my laugh. “He is not some mafia leader, “ I said in between my giggles. She did too. “I don’t know why you are acting like you are in a suspense movie or something.” I pointed. “When are you going to tell me?” “When-the-time-will-come,” I proclaimed, pinching her nose with my index finger and thumb. “Well,I am excited!” she announced. I stood up and took the dirty dishes. Putting it in the sink,I wasn’t planning to wash them. I was too tired for that. We safely

Kian’s POV:I was already getting so many sponsors from companies for my upcoming album. I hadn’t started working on it yet. I didn’t even know what exactly I was going to do. It was putting a lot of pressure on me. There was nothing that was coming in my mind. Well, I had time to think about that. And my project for Mr. Backer’s movie was not done yet. It had been a month. Since our photos have gone viral. I was still getting interview requests regarding my dating matters. Raven decided to talk to Irene about this matter. I agreed. Quinn also joined me in the office. She hadn't arrived yet. “Are you done with the recording?” I asked as I saw him sitting so casually with a bunny smile. “Yess!” he said. “So, you are free to go,” I announced. “Raven just told me that Irene is coming. I was just wondering if I should say hi to her.”I rolled my eyes out of irritation. “It’s about work. No outsiders are allowed.” I said in a neutral tone.“Come on! I am not an outsider. And I am fre

Irene’s POV:“f**k!!” I said as I threw my hand bag on the ground. “f**k him!” I cursed him again. My heart was beating so fast. And I was so furious. I didn’t remember being this furious ever. I really wanted to punch him. It was for the best that I walked out when I felt out of control. “What the f**k he thinks he is,” I hit my study table with my leg. Immediately, the book fell down. And I didn’t bother myself to carry them up. I was lying to the whole campus. Just because of the damn contract. And what did they do? Suspect me? I was the person with such confidential information. If I wanted to ruin his career. I would have done it so far. But I didn’t. In fact, I was never gonna do this. No matter how rude and cranky he was, I had my morals. I was never taught to cheat anyone. Let alone, ruin someone’s career. He was being so selfish by talking to me like that. He never cared about anything except his own image right? This was just a contract. A deal. To be his. In front of e

Kian’s POV: Final release of the soundtrack for Mr.Backer’s movie was near. My work had increased and my health was disturbed. I had to work whole day to review all samples and finally select the one to be in the final project. It was hectic. Somedays I would drink black coffee all day. I was skipping my workout sessions. Many days my sleep was almost zero. Even if I did sleep for sometime it was disturbed. Well, it was not the first time. I had to assure the quality. I was not ready to compromise my work at any cost. Media was also curious about my next album. I hadn’t even started working on it yet. To be honest, I wasn’t even ready for it. There was nothing in my mind about it. Everyone was expecting a romantic one from me. Even if I wanted to, there was nothing I could write about it. Because I was clueless. What love is? So, I was putting all of my energy into the current project. It was the right thing to do. Maybe, after clearing my mind from it I would be able to think a

Kian’s POV:My head was light. When I arrived home. Taking a quick shower, I laid on bed. It was comfy but it lacked the familiar scent of her. My stomach was full . I was surprised at how the tea managed to vanish all my pain. I was tired. And this tiredness had a long history. My eyelid felt heavy and my body drifted into sleep.After a very long time, I slept really well. When I woke up my eyes weren't hurt by some rays of sun peeking into my room. It felt nostalgic and refreshing. I Woke up, and went downstairs. Noah smiled as always he did, this time I also replied to him with a warm expression.“Would you like to have breakfast?” He was respectful.“Yes, pancakes. Your special one. With maple sauce,” he looked happy? I didn't know but definitely he was not expecting. I didn't remember the last time I had breakfast other than a coffee.“And coffee?” He asked.“Uhh, no. Can you make herbal tea?” his face scrunched at my sudden command.“What kind of herbal tea would you like to ha

Irene's POV:“Woah, Professor Matteo shocked all of us,” Ben’s voice was surprised.“I am just thankful.” I replied.“He seemed to have a soft spot for you,” he said monotonously.“Soft spot? I don't think so. Maybe he was just not feeling like punishing anyone today,” I guessed.“Yeah, that could be…anything .”Actually I was uninterested in that matter. My mind was somewhere else. I was not worried, just confused. About thousands of useless thoughts were roaming in my head. The door knocked and I opened it immediately,“Hey!” Raven greeted me warmly.“Hi”He gave me the food package. I took it,“Sorry, I couldn't come tomorrow,” he apologised“It’s okay,” I smiled.“Did everything go well with him?” He asked sheepishly.“Yeah, but he had a headache,” the information I provided him was not necessary. “Oh, migraine. He doesn't listen to me when I tell him to stop drinking the coffee,” his tone was annoyed.“He seemed stressed. I made him a herbal tea. He looked better. We had dinner

Kian’s POV:I had took a week off from all the work. I felt fresh and active when I came back. Well, all of the other short projects were running and Raven was supervising them, efficiently. The habit I had of herbal tea wasn't very bad. It wasn’t addicting. Just one cup a day. Not that I wasn’t drinking coffee at all. But the amount of the cups was considerably reduced. I was reading news on my Ipad, when I heard someone knock. “Come in!” I said.“The door opened and I saw one of my assistants coming towards me. “Sir, Mr. William is here to see you,” she said and somehow she looked pissed. “William Tatte?” my face scrunched as I couldn’t remember scheduling any meeting with him. She nodded in response.“Okay! Let him in,” I said.Within no time, the assistant went out. And I saw Willian Tatte appearing from the door. He nodded silently and took the seat in front of me. “I could’ve said ‘what a pleasant surprise’ if it was. Your face doesn’t look pleasant,” I joked as I saw his

Kian’s POVI was a bit worried when the door didn’t open after the third timeI knocked. So I called her name. I heard nothing from the other side. Before I could knock again with a bit more force. The door opened, a little aggressively. I saw her standing in front of me. “What were you doing? I was-,” as my eyes observed a bit more she was panting and there was bruise on the side of her lips. I forgot what I was saying. “Kian,” her voice was breathy and quivery. I didn’t like that. The way my heart thumped like it was coming out of my chest at the sight of her reddened eye due to the pool of tears in there. Her breath hitched again. And the overloading of tears, came out of her eyes. I blinked softly. I took a step forward. I felt her hitting my chest as she shoved her body into me. Wrapping her arms tightly around me. Her face hid in my arms. A loud sob left her body. As she let herself loose. My arms came behind her back. Her body was trembling now. I was totally clueless of what
