Annabel was completely lost in the passionate kiss, their lips moving in perfect harmony. However, her blissful moment was abruptly shattered when she suddenly realized that she shouldn't be doing this.

Her eyes, which had been closed to savor the kiss, shot open wide with shock. She hurriedly pulled away, her hand instinctively covering her mouth in disbelief.

"Oh my goodness," Annabel muttered in shock, fully aware of her actions and regretting them. Meanwhile, Andrew, seemingly unfazed, maintained his composure, hiding any hint of excitement he felt inside.

The atmosphere in the room became tense and uncomfortable. Annabel, too embarrassed to speak, was at a loss for words and berated herself for her lack of resistance.

Andrew glanced at Annabel and cleared his throat, ready to say something, but was interrupted by her immediate apology.

With her head bowed, Annabel apologized to Sir Andrew, surprising him as he hadn't expected such an apology, considering he didn't thi

    Annabel's eyes widened, the blue depths of her irises expanding to take in every detail of the scene before her. A gasp escaped her parted lips, barely audible amidst the pounding of her racing heart. She stood frozen in her spot, unable to tear her gaze away from the sight that held her captive.Andrew, a mischievous smirk playing at the corners of his mouth, sneered at her, his tone teasing and filled with amusement. "Like what you see?" he taunted, his voice laced with a hint of laughter. His chuckle, though faint, echoed through the room, and its sound pierced Annabel's dazed mind, jolting her back to reality. In an instant, she averted her eyes, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.As Annabel's gaze shifted away from Andrew, his smirk deepened, a silent victory etched on his face. He took a step closer to where she stood, his footsteps reverberating through the room, causing her heart to skip a beat. The rapid thumping in her chest served as a merciless reminder of her unease,

    Sensing the need for a reprieve, she swiftly lowered her head and excused herself before anyone could utter a word. Andrew's instinctive response was to call her back, but he hesitated. She had already disappeared, leaving him to trail his hand through his hair in frustration. As he turned to face Albert, he couldn't help but notice the scrutinizing look in his friend's eyes. Perplexed, Andrew raised an eyebrow and questioned the reason behind Albert's peculiar stares. With a subtle chuckle, Albert brushed off the tension and remarked, "Oh, it's nothing. Just seemed like something happened between you and her." Andrew's eyes widened briefly at the insinuation before returning to their usual composure. Defensively, Andrew uttered, "Nothing happened between us." Albert's laughter filled the room, leaving Andrew bewildered and searching for an explanation. "Dude, chill out. I was just messing with you," Albert admitted, still chuckling lightly. Andrew rolled his eyes, slightly annoyed

    The guest's reaction caught me off guard, and I quickly stammered, "I-I'm so sorry, sir. Please allow me to clean that up right away." I glanced down at the stain on their clothing, anxiety gnawing at me. The guest, however, seemed to regain their composure, their expression softening slightly. "It's quite alright, accidents happen,"he replied in a more forgiving tone. I breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to grab a cloth to clean up the mess. As I dabbed at the spilled drink, my mind raced, wondering who this guest was and why they had chosen to attend the party dressed in such lavish attire. It was clear that this event meant a great deal to them, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of curiosity about the drama that seemed to surround the family and the evening's celebrations. As I continued to clean the stain with as much precision as possible, I couldn’t help but overhear snippets of conversations from the nearby guests. They spoke in hushed tones, their words laced with int

    As Zachary ambulated through the dimly lit passageway, his mind swirled with the bitter aftertaste of losing the contract to Andrew, each step accompanied by the clenching of his fists, a tangible manifestation of his simmering anger. The invitation to Andrew's party lingered in Zachary's thoughts, a festering suspicion that it was a calculated move to flaunt Andrew's triumph in his face. Yet, it was more than a mere assumption; it was an undeniable reality, a deliberate act by Andrew to revel in his victory. Lost in the labyrinth of his ruminations, Zachary, with a sudden awakening, found himself in the midst of the passageway, a solitary figure in a contemplative journey. His frustrated groan echoed as he ruffled his hair, regretting his presence at the event, fueled by the mere prospect of encountering Tracy, Albert's fiancée. Contemplating a hasty retreat, Zachary's ears caught a distant murmur—a symphony of sorrow and solace intertwined. Intrigued, he abandoned the notion

    The sudden stillness in the aftermath of the brawl hung heavily in the air. Zachary, now on the ground nursing his injuries, wore a mix of defiance and surprise, while Andrew, his knuckles stained with the aftermath of the punch, struggled to maintain composure as he faced the repercussions of his actions. Amid the tense tableau, Annabel, still recovering from the abrupt push, found her footing. Averting her gaze from the clash, she attempted to fade into the shadows, seeking refuge from the tumultuous confrontation. Andrew’s mother, a silent witness to the drama, approached with a mixture of genuine concern and disapproval. Her gaze shifted between her son and ,Zachary on the ground, and the injured Annabel. The room, once filled with murmurs and distant melodies, now bore witness to the aftermath of an unexpected eruption of violence. In the uneasy quiet, Zachary rose from the ground, wiping away the blood from his nose with a defiant smirk. “Guess you finally learned to thr

    Albert, immersed in his phone, briskly traversed the corridor toward Andrew’s room, driven by an urgency to share something significant. Without a second thought, he swung the door open, neglecting the courtesy of a knock, and began uttering, “Hey, bro, you need to see this.” However, his sentence waned into silence as he took in the surroundings—Andrew was conspicuously absent. A quizzical expression painted Albert’s face as he called out, “Andrew?” The ensuing quietude compelled Albert to conduct a thorough sweep of Andrew’s room, methodically checking each corner, even peering into the bathroom. The elusive Andrew remained a mystery, nowhere to be found. In an exasperated sigh, Albert closed the bathroom door, vocalizing his realization, “I guess Mom was wrong; Andrew isn’t in his room.” As he exited, shutting the door behind him, Albert found himself momentarily rooted in front of Andrew’s room. Lost in the digital landscape of his phone, the significance of seeking out Andr

    As Annabel pondered the peculiar encounter with Andrew, the atmosphere in the room remained charged with a subtle tension. She retrieved the first aid kit and began addressing her wound. In the solitude of his room, Andrew found himself engulfed in contemplation. The vivid memory of Annabel seated on his lap lingered, creating a symphony of emotions that resonated within him. Pressing against his chest, Andrew grappled with an unfamiliar rush of feelings. He questioned the source of these emotions, bewildered by the intensity that surged whenever Annabel occupied his thoughts. A reflexive movement led Andrew to his counter, where a jug of water awaited. Pouring himself a glass, he hastily consumed its contents, hoping to quell the swirling thoughts. Yet, the mental reel persisted, projecting images of Annabel that danced before his mind's eye. Frustration etched across his face, Andrew ran his hand over his features, groaning audibly. "I must be going crazy," he admitted wit

    Juliet chuckled, leading Annabel into the spacious living room. “Sit down, Annabel. There’s a lot to catch up on,” she said with a mysterious glint in her eyes. As they settled on the plush sofas, Juliet began unraveling her recent journey. “You won’t believe what happened. It turns out I have a distant relative who passed away and left me a significant inheritance,” she explained, her excitement evident. Annabel’s eyes widened in amazement, trying to process the unexpected revelation. “So, you’re rich now?” she asked, still absorbing the news in a doubtful manner. Annabel and Juliet, having shared a longstanding friendship, were attuned to each other's nuances. Annabel possessed an intuitive ability to discern when Juliet was being less than truthful, detecting a subtle discord in her energy, as if she were grappling with rehearsed words in her mind. Sensing the tension, Juliet, raising an inquisitive eyebrow, nervously questioned, "What's wrong?" The palpable unease hung i

    Andrew took a step back, putting distance between himself and Esme. A smirk curled on her lips, her eyes glinting with amusement."I’m glad I make you uneasy. That just means you feel something for me," she said confidently, tilting her head slightly.Andrew’s left eyebrow arched at her words."Feel something for you?" he scoffed. "I don’t give a damn about you, okay? And don’t get too close to me again. I’ve told you before, and I’ll say it again—I’m in love with someone else. So whatever you’re hoping for? It’s never going to happen." His tone was sharp, laced with clear irritation.Before Esme could respond, movement caught Andrew’s attention.Annabel.His eyes widened slightly as she approached, a sudden rush of worry washing over him. Had she seen what just happened?"Excuse me, sir. I'd like to get through," Annabel said, her voice calm, controlled.Esme turned to her, curiosity flickering in her eyes.

    Andrew's mind reels as he watches Esme, confusion clouding his thoughts. Why is she saying this? What game is she playing?"I'm serious, okay?" Esme insists, her tone light yet unwavering. "When my dad told me I’d be meeting someone, I wasn’t exactly thrilled. He’s always setting me up with people I have no interest in. But with you… it’s different.” She tilts her head, watching him closely. “The way you stood up to your parents, refusing the marriage—it was something I’ve never seen a rich boy do before. It was… attractive." She smiles, but Andrew feels no warmth from it—only amusement, like she’s enjoying a game he never agreed to play.His frown deepens. "Don't get the wrong idea," he says sharply. "I said that because I don’t want to marry you—not because I was trying to impress you."Esme’s smile widens, as if his frustration is nothing more than entertainment to her. "I know. But now I want to marry you.”Andrew exhales sharply, barely containing his irritation. "Well, I don’t w

    Andrew’s POVI loved the shocked look on my mom’s face. Now I was sure—this marriage would never happen."Hi, everyone. I’m Esme," she said in a nonchalant tone, barely looking up from her phone as she found a seat."This is my daughter, Esme," Griffen said nervously. I mean, who could blame him? Just look at his daughter."She doesn’t look shy to me," I said with amusement, only to be silenced by my mother’s sharp glare. I rolled my eyes but didn’t push it further."I think we should all eat," my mom said with a forced smile, trying to keep things civil.My gaze stayed on Esme. I wanted to tell her how relieved I was that she was the one here. There was no way my mom would ever accept her as her daughter-in-law.As we started eating, Griffen reached over and took Esme’s phone away. "Eat properly," he told her.Surprisingly, she listened without protest. She actually obeyed him. Well, I guess that wasn’t a bad thing."I know you all might have some questions about my daughter," Griffe

Her heart skips a beat, her grip tightening slightly on the cloth in her hands."What?" she breathes out, needing confirmation. "Is he really getting engaged today?"Mrs. Jones’ smile fades into a frown. "That’s exactly what I said," she replies with a hint of irritation. "Now, get back to work."Annabel nods absently, turning back to her task, but the news

    Annabel stuttered, struggling to form words, but nothing came out of her mouth."Are you okay?" Mrs. Torres asked, irritation evident in her voice. She crossed her arms, her sharp gaze cutting into Annabel. "I asked you a simple question—why are you dressed that way?" Her tone grew harsher, laced with anger."Ma’am, I’m dressed this way because—""Because I took her to a party," Andrew interrupted, stepping forward smoothly. His voice was calm, confident, but his mother’s expression didn’t soften. "Mom, I brought Annabel with me because I needed an assistant by my side."Mrs. Torres narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing him as if she could see right through his excuse. "You could have taken a security guard," she pointed out, her gaze flickering back to Annabel, who shifted uncomfortably. "If something bad had happened, Annabel wouldn't have been much help."Annabel swallowed hard, feeling the weight of Mrs. Torres' stare."You know what? I don't want to stress over this," Mrs. Torres final

    Annabel’s heart pounded wildly, faster than normal. Fear gripped her as she watched Albert's reaction. He had just walked in on her kissing Andrew. But while she was panicking, Andrew remained unnervingly calm, as if the situation didn’t faze him at all.“Is no one going to say something?” Albert’s voice was sharp, his anger cutting through the thick tension in the air.Andrew shrugged. “What’s there to say? You caught us kissing. It is what it is.”Annabel’s eyes widened in horror. What is he doing?Albert scoffed, his jaw tightening. “Oh, so you mean to tell me this has been going on for a while? You two have been having an affair this whole time?”“No, no! You’ve got it all wrong!” Annabel’s voice trembled as she took a step toward Albert, her hands shaking. “This just happened, I swear! It’s never happened before!”But the words felt empty, even to her. She wanted to run—to disappear. The walls felt like they were closing in, suffocating her. The weight of Albert’s gaze, his anger

    Annabel couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable as everyone’s eyes landed on her. She shifted in her dress, suddenly self-conscious, adjusting the fabric as if it could somehow shield her from their gazes. Tracy was the first to approach, her signature chameleon smile plastered across her face.“It’s so good to see you here,” Tracy said, pulling Annabel into an unexpected hug.Annabel rolled her eyes internally, not quite understanding why Tracy was suddenly being so friendly. But she didn’t complain—she just forced a polite smile and let it happen.“Come here,” Tracy added, taking Annabel’s hand and leading her straight into the center of attention.“I’m glad you made it,” Albert said warmly.Andrew, however, said nothing. He barely glanced at Annabel before quickly looking away, as if afraid she’d catch him staring.Everyone took their seats at the long table, and Annabel’s eyes widened at the sight of the extravagant feast before her. The variety of food was overwhelming, and

    Albert’s POVAndrew is still not ready. My patience thins with every passing second as I check my watch again, exhaling sharply. The morning air is crisp, but irritation burns hotter under my skin. Finally, the door creaks open, and Andrew steps out, adjusting his cufflinks like he has all the time in the world. A wave of relief washes over me, quickly replaced by annoyance.“I told you to be early,” I say, my tone clipped, frustration lacing every word.He grins, unapologetic. “All I can say is that I’m sorry. No excuse.” He strides past me and slides into the car, leaving me to roll my eyes before getting in myself.Settling into my seat, I immediately pull out the documents, flipping through them with practiced efficiency. The low hum of the engine fills the space between us as I make last-minute adjustments, my focus narrowing in on the numbers and projections.

    Andrew’s POV My mind raced as I stared at Annabel, my throat tightening. What the hell do I even say to her? I hadn’t meant for this to happen—not like this. I should’ve been more careful. I should’ve thought this through. But now? I was caught. And by the look in her eyes, she wasn’t about to let me off easy.“Annabel, listen to me,” I said, keeping my tone calm, but my voice felt tight in my throat. She folded her arms across her chest, her gaze sharp and expectant, waiting for me to speak. But the truth was, I had nothing. Absolutely nothing. “I don’t know what to say,” I admitted, breaking eye contact as guilt settled in my stomach.Her breath hitched, and when she spoke again, her voice was thick with disbelief. “You have to be kidding me right now. You did this, and now you have nothing to say?” Her fingers clenched into fists at her sides. “You knew I wasn’t married this whole time?”“Not the whole time,” I muttered, shifting uncomfortably. “But I figured it out not too long a
